Through the door, the aunt's voice could still be heard, which made Zhou Qing sigh. No matter what era it was, parents could not control their voices when disciplining their children.
The bundle of firewood was naturally left behind by Zhou Qing.
Later, when Qian Sanniang finished teaching her granddaughter and opened the door to take a look, she found that the person had already left, but there was a bundle of firewood left by the door. Qian Sanniang was silent for a long time, and finally she and her granddaughter took the bundle of firewood.
He moved into his own kitchen.
It can be regarded as accepting Zhou Qing's kindness.
Here Zhou Qing has already started working hard. After all, there are a lot of weeds in the yard. Thinking about the workload is terrifying.
Fortunately, she still had her own way. Although she didn't have a hoe at home, she didn't just get started. Instead, she chose a sharp stone and tied it to a wooden stick to make a simple version of the hoe.
The stiff ground was initially loosened.
The loosened soil makes it easier to pull out weeds.
Even so, it took Zhou Qing almost a whole day, and only half of it was completed, and the right corner of the wall was still unfinished.
She glanced at the sky and saw that the sun was gradually setting, and smoke had begun to rise from many occupied houses in the village. She had no choice but to let go of the fish that had slipped through the net for the time being. After washing her hands, she took the bedding she had dried in the morning back into the house.
go.
If it is kept in the sun any longer, the smell of sunlight will be blown away by the wind, which is not acceptable.
After putting it away, she had no choice but to look at the water at home. There was not much water left. She spent almost all her time today repairing the yard and had no time to fetch water. Now she was hungry and thirsty. Zhou Qing didn't know it for a moment.
How did you get yourself into this?
He lowered his head, laughed at himself twice, and accepted his fate, picked up the bucket and went out to fetch water.
Fortunately, I have flint on me, so it's no problem to make a fire or something.
Although there is no pot, fortunately there is a broken pottery basin, which can be used in emergencies. At least there is water to drink.
After bringing the water back, he raised the fire, boiled the water, and sat in front of the earthen stove. It was rare that he had time to relax himself.
Looking at the gradually boiling hot water, Zhou Qing began to feel uncomfortable and wanted to take a bath.
I feel like I haven't showered in a long time and I feel like I have lice all over my body.
You can't think about this thing. The more you think about it, the more Zhou Qing feels itchy.
Decisively choose to take a shower first and then prepare to eat.
I don’t have soap locust or anything else at home, so I plan to make do with plant ash.
Zhou Qing felt that she must be the most unlucky time traveler, as her quality of life has not deteriorated at all.
But it’s good to be alive, right?
She also became the head of a small village. Although there are not many people in this small village, this is still progress.
Zhou Qing was familiar with the situation and began to comfort herself.
She had been comforting herself in this way in the past few years, otherwise she would have collapsed long ago.
He wiped his body with a clean cloth dipped in hot water. As the dust and stains on his body were washed away, Zhou Qing felt lighter all over.
It's rare to see a trace of delicacy on the originally citrus-like face.
At this time, after Zhou Qing completed his psychological construction, he had already begun to plan to find someone to make a bathtub for himself, so that he could take a bath in the future.
If there are no conditions for enjoyment, then create the conditions yourself.
After taking a bath, Zhou Qing finished today's meal with the remaining hot water and a little dry food.
That's right, when she didn't borrow food, she always came here one meal a day, so it was inevitable that she was a little malnourished and looked thinner.
The body has become accustomed to it. Zhou Qing thought of the bag of food and planned to slowly resume eating two meals a day to give his body a familiar process.
Otherwise, she would worry that her stomach wouldn't be able to bear it.
Take it step by step. Whether it is your own body or getting the villagers of Dahe Village to accept you, this requires a process and cannot be accomplished overnight.
After finishing the meal, Zhou Qing boiled some water again and planned to store it in a clean pottery bottle so that there would be no shortage of boiled water to drink tomorrow.
She took out the grain that Zhang Dajiang lent her and looked at it. It contained a pound of wheat ground flour. Zhou Qing thought for a moment, scooped out a bowl, put it in a pottery pot and stir-fried it. Tomorrow morning
When going out to the county town, just soak it in water, mix it and eat it. It is convenient and fast. You can use it for breakfast without delaying going out.
After getting ready, Zhou Qing dug out the hidden baggage and took out a small cloth bag.
Inside is all her remaining wealth. The position of village chief cost her twenty taels of silver, and now she only has less than ten taels of broken silver left. After so many years, she has a certain understanding of the current prices.
, but prices are different in every place, and since things have just stabilized, I'm afraid prices in the county won't be as low as they could be.
We have to wait until we go to the county town to see these things tomorrow.
But looking at Uncle Dajiang and the others, they should know something about this. Today, I went to tell him specifically that Zhou Qing also wanted to hug the thigh of the local old man.
After all, they are locals, and they always need to know more about the twists and turns here than she, who is from outside.
Thinking about these things, Zhou Qing let himself fall into a deep sleep.
Zhou Qing woke up extra early the next day, probably because he was thinking about something. When he looked outside the house, it was not even dark yet. However, Zhou Qing knew that people in ancient times generally woke up earlier and did not go back to sleep.
Instead of thinking about it, he packed himself up. Today he did not wear the short jacket yesterday, but chose a Confucian shirt. After all, Zhou Qing understood the principle that people rely on clothes when they are away from home.
Sure enough, when she arrived at the entrance of the village, many people were already standing there.
The first one standing among them was Zhang Dajiang. Zhou Qing wondered if he was late, so he silently speeded up and came to Zhang Dajiang.
"Uncle Dajiang, I'm sorry, I'm late."
"It's not too late, it's not too late. I'm older and have less sleep, so I came earlier." Zhang Dajiang's words were not polite. He really felt that Zhou Qing didn't come late. Mainly because it's rare to see young people get up so early.
of.
"Now that you are here and everyone is here, let's set off now."
Zhou Qing's head was full of black lines, and she also said that she came not too late, good thing she was the last one.
Although Zhang Dajiang said this, she was still quite embarrassed after asking everyone to wait for her, so she raised her voice and apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry for making you come and go.
Awaited."
Except for Zhang Dajiang and Qian Sanniang, no one else in Dahe Village had ever come into contact with Zhou Qing. Naturally, they did not expect that Zhou Qing would apologize to them. Although they had never met Zhou Qing, most of them knew this from Zhang Dajiang's mouth.
He is the new village chief of their Dahe Village.
I won’t talk about it when I’m young, but still like this, how to put it, to borrow Zhang Dajiang’s words, it’s just weird.
