peasant family

Chapter 35

When harvesting wheat, peas, and planting sesame and sorghum, there were several rains in the middle, and the thatched roof was dilapidated, making it impossible to live in. Fortunately, there were two bunk beds in their west wing room, allowing Han Yunjing and Shen Qing to sleep together. Otherwise, they will definitely be drenched into water ducks.

Han Yunjing knew that it was impossible to live in the West Wing whenever it rained. The elder brother and the second brother had no objection, but he was born with an unlucky person, and he couldn't bring his bad luck to the elder brother and the second brother.

"Okay, I'll go into the mountains tomorrow to cut trees!" Han Yunjing said.

It was rare for Han Yunwen to say, "I'll go with you!"

Two people work faster than one.

Han Zhengbei snorted coldly, picked up his chair and went back to sit in the main room, his face smelly like a stone in a latrine.But none of the three brothers stood up and asked what happened to Han Zhengbei?
Lu's looked at the well-behaved Shen Qing, and said slowly: "Girl Qinger, you can go to the ditch with me tomorrow to wash your clothes and quilts!"

Xiashuigou is a valley at the junction of Baoyan Village and Nanhe Village. Where there is a Xiashuigou, there is an Shangshuigou.Shangshuigou is the valley that goes from Liu Zhongtian's house to Doctor Cao's house.

Go straight down, towards the direction of the village school, that is the sewer ditch, and the sewer ditch has to go under the courtyard dam of Han Xingzhong's house.

From Han's house to Xiashuigou, it took Lu family half an hour to walk alone, and the distance was a bit long.But this time there is not much water in the ditch, so I can only go to the ditch to wash clothes.

Shen Qing responded obediently: "Good mother!"

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Han Yunjing and the others headed for the mountains with a sickle and a small basket.The back basket contained water and a few sweet potatoes, and they might not come back at noon, so they had to bring their lunch with them.

Shen Qing also carried a small pan, and there was only a little soap locust liquid in the pan. Lu's body was covered with dirty and smelly clothes. Lu led Shen Qing to the gutter, leaving Han Yunqiao alone at home.Han Zhengbei was unreliable and had no choice but to let Han Yunqiao feed the pigs at home, do a little work, and fix the thatched cottage by the way.

When I arrived at the gutter, I saw many women and children washing clothes.

There are many washing stone slabs in the ditch, one for each person, and everyone is doing laundry.

Today, because of Shen Qing, they came late, and there are no better seats left. Only the last few washing stone slabs are useless, but the water there is very muddy, and all the dirty water from people's washing flows here. There is no way to wash clothes.

"Mother, are we doing laundry here?" Shen Qing asked with a small face wrinkled.

Mrs. Lu shook her head, "Let's go down to wash, the water here is too dirty!"

"Alright!" Shen Qing was happy.

Shaking her head dotingly, Mrs. Lu walked through the ditch with her dirty clothes on her back, and walked from the other side of the ditch to the washing stone slab below to wash clothes.

Shen Qing didn't know that for the so-called washing at the bottom of Lu's mouth, one had to go through the ditch, walk a steep and dangerous mountain road, and then circle around other people's fields to get to the washing stone slab below.

The distance up and down is very close, but there is a high cliff in the middle, so you have to go around.

There are also people washing clothes below, but there are only two of them.

Shen Qing followed behind Lu Shi, and saw that the two women looked familiar. After Lu Shi talked to them, Shen Qing knew that these two women were the neighbors of the Han family, but they were a little far away.

Shen Qing greeted the two women, and wanted to wash with Lu Shi, but Lu Shi didn't let Shen wash the clothes, and let her go to the two women's children to play.

Helpless, Shen Qing had no choice but to get up and go find his younger partner to play.
