Chapter 71 The Prime Minister’s Mother 11 (Third update)
Mingyue planned what she would do next and looked at the time on the system. It was now one o'clock in the afternoon.
Mingyue yawned loudly and felt like her eyelids were drooping. Now is a good time to sleep, so let's take a nap!
Mingyue set an alarm clock on the system, covered herself with a quilt and fell asleep.
An hour later, the alarm clock on the system rang on time. Mingyue remained motionless. She tried her best to open her eyes, opened her mouth and yawned widely. She rubbed her face on the pillow and tried to hold herself up.
Body, let yourself get up.
Make money first, then you can lie down, life! Why can't you let me have a good sleep?
Mingyue finally got up by herself and moved all the spices out of the space, but found that there was nothing at home. Mingyue helplessly put her hand on her forehead. She really thought well, but she didn't have all the materials.
It seems that I can't do it today. I looked at the quilt covering myself and found it was a bit dirty. Forget it, let's clean the entire yard today!
Mingyue looked at the weather outside. The sun was still quite strong now. Wash it quickly. The sheets should be dry before dark.
Mingyue immediately got up, took off all the quilt covers and sheets on the bed, took out the wooden basin where the original owner washed clothes, threw the sheets in, took out a bag of washing powder from her own space, and tore open one with her hands.
Take a small mouthful and pour some into the basin.
There is a well in the yard, and all the water in the house is drawn from there. A few days ago, the original owner's sisters helped to draw water for a banquet hosted by the original owner's husband. There is still some water in the tank now.
However, washing clothes was still not enough. Mingyue threw the bucket specially used for fetching water into the well. When she felt that the bucket was full, she pulled the bucket up hard.
As a result, because Ming Yue's strength control was not very good, only half a bucket of water was left when she finally pulled it up. However, this half bucket of water was still enough to soak the sheets and quilt covers.
The water washed out the washing powder on the sheets, creating thicker foam. Mingyue took off her shoes and stepped on them. When the water in the bucket was dirty, she squeezed the sheets as dry as possible.
Put it in another basin and repeat it several times. The sheet finally showed its original color and was no longer so dirty. Mingyue couldn't believe that she had been covered with this sheet for the past few days.
But if you think about ancient cleaning techniques, you can understand a little bit. Ancient soap locust is not as useful as modern washing powder.
I rinsed the sheets with water several times, squeezed them dry, and spread them out on a bamboo shelf. It was already three o'clock.
Mingyue carefully swept the room where she slept with a broom, because after taking off the layer of cloth that covered the kang, the whole room was made of mud. There was always a smell of dust. It seemed that building a house was difficult.
Need to put it on the schedule early.
After doing this, Ming Yue was almost exhausted. Ming Yue sat on the stool in the main room and rested. At this time, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and a familiar voice sounded outside.
"Mingyue, do you want to go out and pick wild vegetables with your sister? There is no harvest now. Go pick some wild vegetables and dry them. They are also good to eat in winter!"
This voice belongs to the eldest daughter-in-law of the family next door. She is fierce and strong, and she usually takes good care of the original owner.
Mingyue hurriedly ran over and opened the door. Sun Honghua walked in holding a basket. As soon as she came in, she saw the brightly washed sheets and clicked her tongue a few times.
"I asked you why there is such a loud sound of water in your house. It turns out that you are washing the sheets. It is indeed necessary to wash the sheets in this weather."
Sun Honghua looked closely at the sheet and found that it was extremely clean and had a faint fragrance.
She clicked her tongue in wonder: "Mingyue, what did you use to wash this? How come it's so clean! And it still has a scent."
Mingyue was about to go into the house to get the basket. When she heard this, she didn't panic at all. She turned her back to Sun Honghua and said loudly and indifferently:
"Then what else can I use to wash it with? Of course it is soap locust! I have washed this sheet more than ten times, and it is not easy to get it so clean. As for the fragrance, it may be the fragrance of soap locust that washes in!"
Sun Honghua smelled it carefully, and it seemed that it was indeed the scent of soap locust. She usually washed the sheets twice at most, and next time she would wash them more than ten times. She had only seen such a bright color when she just changed the quilt cover.
Sun Honghua didn't worry so much, she looked at Mingyue and walked out with a basket.
Mingyue took the small basket and sickle used by the original owner to pick wild vegetables, and said directly to Sun Honghua: "Sister Honghua, let's go! Let these things dry here and collect them later when you come back soon after dark."
After hearing this, Sun Honghua hurriedly walked out, followed by Mingyue, and then locked the courtyard door with a lock.
Then they took a few quick steps and caught up with Sun Honghua. This time they went to the foot of the back mountain. There were quite a lot of wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain.
The two of them were walking and chatting. Sun Honghua talked about what happened last night and gave a thumbs up to Mingyue:
"Mingyue! You did a great job yesterday! You are living with a dog's balls now. If you are not going to get married again, you have to get married.
Anyway, your parents are still in this village, several of your sisters were married here, and they have the support of their younger brothers at home! Just be tough!"
Mingyue pretended to be a little scared and said:
"Speaking of what happened last night, I'm still a little weak in the legs! When I was about to fall asleep, I vaguely heard the sound of someone hitting the ground. I thought the dog's egg fell to the ground, so I went to touch it quickly! But I didn't touch it.
Dog eggs.
The dog's balls didn't move even if I touched them on the bed! I was scared to death and thought there was a ghost!
Then he picked up the hatchet inside the house and went to the door. Unexpectedly, someone opened the door and came in.
I used my courage to chop it down with all my strength, but I didn’t expect that I cut off the arm of the third son of the Wu family. Now that I think about it, I’m still a little scared!”
Sun Honghua was a little scared after hearing this, but she patted Mingyue on the shoulder and praised her: "You don't usually have a good temper, but you can stand up like this at the critical moment. Not bad! We women are all about standing up.
stand up!
Aren’t you ready to remarry now? Are you ready to live alone with Goudan?”
Sun Honghua asked curiously.
Mingyue answered calmly: "Yes! Sister Honghua, I need Sister Honghua to take care of me more in the future, that's what I think.
If I remarry to another family, I might have a mother-in-law who can help me with my daughter-in-law. Not every mother-in-law is like my mother, just like your mother-in-law!"
When Mingyue said this, she deliberately lowered her voice.
"That mother-in-law of yours really is! Thank you for being able to endure it! When will your family be divided?
All the sons are married and there are a lot of kids, but the families are still divided! If you don’t have any money now, how will you live in the future?"
Sun Honghua sighed a little when she thought of this, and started to complain to Mingyue.
"Who said otherwise? But aren't most people in the village like this? Your family is better off. You only have one son. You don't need to separate the family at all. You can live alone!
The old man and the old lady in the family always favor the third brother in the family. The third brother in my family is also a free-spirited person. He eats faster than anything else and does things slower than anyone else.
But it’s much better than the third brother of the Wu family. At least I, the third brother, know the rules, which is to do less, and I won’t make any other big mistakes!”
Chapter completed!
