"Yes, yes!" Xu Laosan also said the same thing to the men, "She can do whatever she wants! Isn't this a good thing if she is strong? Great men say that women can hold up half the sky. Our family is not bright.
My strength is enough to hold up half the sky. If Xiaoliang shows off his strength, he won’t be able to steal the jobs of you big men?”
"..."
Why don't you praise your daughter, who's stopping you? But don't beat around the bush and scold us grown men, okay?
"Third brother, you know that you have given birth to three daughters, and each one is more capable than the other, right? From now on, you will never say that you can't give birth to a son. Please spare us, and don't beat around the bush all day long."
Xu Laosan snorted, like a victorious rooster, and went home happily with his wife.
How cool!
They shocked these people who had run against them overtly or covertly in the past until they were speechless.
What about "Three thousand gold is equal to three losers, you work hard to make a big deal, and before you have time to enjoy the blessings, you become someone else's wife, and you work in vain", and what about "After the third son of your family gets married, there will be no one to work in your family."
Isn’t it? What has happened to this family? It’s a good thing that we don’t have a son, otherwise who would dare to marry their daughter into your family?"... Huh! I feel very proud today!
Look! Who said that his second daughter, Xu Laosan, was hopeless and lazy? Who said that without a son, she would not be able to enjoy the blessing of children?
"Dad, Mom, are you back? It's a little early to go to bed now. Let's wash the clothes."
When the couple went out, Xu Yin washed the dishes and wiped the stove and cupboards three times. The water from the first wipe was as black as ink.
After I finished, I swept away the fallen leaves and gravel in the front yard and applied some water to avoid dust. Now it looks much cleaner.
The other rooms will be tidied up tomorrow, and the clothes will be washed first.
Except for the dining chairs in the main room, the other benches and bamboo chairs were all piled with dirty clothes.
Most of them are couples, and some are the original couple and their younger sister.
Some of them were taken off because of the cold spring weather a few days ago, some were taken off after returning from work, and some were too dirty and did not want to be worn anymore...
There are four living people in the family, but not one of them thinks of doing laundry.
When I have no clothes to wear, I go back to the pile of clothes to look for something that I can make do with. I have to make do with it until Xu Sang returns to her parents' home...
Xu Yin put the clothes together without any expression, but the two big footbaths still couldn't fit in them.
"..."
Welcoming the couple returning home in triumph, they said quietly: "Father, you are responsible for fetching water, mother, you are responsible for washing, and I am responsible for passing water and drying. If we don't wash this pile of clothes tonight, none of the three of us will be able to sleep."
"..."
The smiling faces of the couple froze, and they probably wanted to pretend to be dizzy at this moment.
"Daughter, you look at how late it is..."
"It's okay, the moonlight is very bright."
"...Yin Yin, you see your father and I have been tired all afternoon..."
"I'm tired too."
"Then let's all go to bed. The clothes will be washed tomorrow."
"Yes, yes! Wash it tomorrow! Wash it tomorrow."
"Wake up at four o'clock tomorrow to take a shower?" Xu Yin raised an eyebrow, "If you can get up, then go to bed first."
"..."
Happy birthday! Four o'clock? Even the roosters don't even sing? Do you get up to do the laundry?
This girl is more ruthless than Zhou Bapi.
Finally, the couple looked at each other, sighed, and knelt down to wash the clothes. They thought it would be better to wash them now instead of getting up early.
If it weren't for the good smoke, good wine and new clothes promised by my daughter, she would definitely fall out! Damn girl, she dares to boss me around!
Fortunately, there is a well in the yard of the Xu family, and Grandpa Xu paid for someone to dig it. Otherwise, if you want to wait for Mr. Xu to make money to dig the well, you will probably have to wait for the next life.
With well water, Xu Laosan didn't have to run to the river to fetch water, which saved him a lot of effort. However, from starching to washing so many clothes, it took a lot of buckets of well water.
After he fetched a bucket of water, he beat his waist and said, "Oh! My back is sore!"
"My hands are still sore!" Chen Huilan sat on a small bench, holding a washboard and rubbing her clothes.
Originally I wanted to count the numbers in a few strokes, but my daughter’s eyes were dazzling:
"Mom, I haven't rubbed my collar yet."
"Mom, the cuffs are still dirty."
"Mom, how about I switch with you? You come over to the water to dry them, and I'll wash them."
When Chen Huilan heard this, she wondered how it could be done! It was so tiring to cross the water. There was a top made for the third child from the work cloth given out by the old man's work unit for the festival.
What's more, it's not just this one, there are other clothes too.
After drying so many clothes in the water, will my arms be able to lift them tomorrow?
"Well, Yin Yin, the sapodilla beans your sister picked last time are almost used up. How about making do with it?"
Xu Yin took a glance and saw that there were indeed not many left: "It's okay, I'll pick them tomorrow. I've washed them enough today."
"..."
The lazy girl had no choice but to rework the clothes and take them back and wash them again.
Oh, I’m so tired!
The two of them sighed inwardly.
Fortunately for Xu Yin, she had divine power, otherwise she would have collapsed from exhaustion.
After all the clothes were rinsed, dried and hung on the clothes pole, not only the lazy couple but also Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom and Dad, you have worked hard today. I will cook you a bowl of noodles for supper. Go to bed after eating."
And late night snacks?
The lazy couple forgot to fetch water for a moment, and each one was more enthusiastic than the other about the hard work of washing: "My dear, go and cook the noodles, your mother and I will take care of the rest."
"Yes, yes, you are not needed here."
Xu Yin couldn't help laughing: "Thank you for your hard work, parents."
"No hard work, no hard work."
If you have something to eat, the hard work is nothing.
Xu Yin cooked them a bowl of pickled vegetables, mushrooms and egg noodles.
The pickled vegetables are from the family, and of course they are not pickled by Chen Huilan. She likes to eat them but doesn't like pickling them. The pickles and pickles at home were all made by Xu Sang when she returned to her parents' home.
Thinking about the married eldest sister, Xu Yin admired her from the bottom of her heart.
He has supernatural powers, so he is very tired even if he is not tired from doing so much work, but Xu Sang is really dedicated to this family, it is not easy!
Xu Yin got the mushrooms and eggs from the system warehouse.
But what she chose were humble mushrooms and wild eggs.
There is a mountain behind the brigade, called Qixing Mountain. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was called Qixian Mountain. According to legend, it was the place where the seven fairies bathed when they descended to earth. Later, I felt that the word "fairy" had a feudal overtone, so it was renamed Qixing Mountain.
Those who are more diligent will go to the foot of the mountain to pick mushrooms and occasionally pick up a few wild eggs.
But in the Xu family, except before Xu Sang got married, mushrooms, wild vegetables, and occasionally a few wild eggs could often be seen on the dining table. After Xu Sang got married, the number of times she returned to her natal family was limited, except for Xu Lan who would be with her friends.
If you go dig baskets of wild vegetables and come back, don't expect anyone else.
When Xu Laosan saw that there were still eggs, he was happy: "My dear, did you go up the mountain in the afternoon? You are lucky, you actually picked up wild eggs."
Chen Huilan took a sip of the noodle soup from the soup bowl and sighed with satisfaction: "It's so delicious! I found that Yinyin's cooking skills are better than Sang Sang's. I think the noodles made here are more delicious than the shredded pork noodles in state-owned restaurants!"
