Soak the seeds in water until the water soaks into the rice husks. The two of them will drag the sack back when it's lunch time.
Because it was soaked in water, the sack became very heavy. After taking a few steps, Shuangxi couldn't walk.
"Daughter-in-law, you wait, I'll call the eldest brother and the second brother." Shen Mo also put the sack here, let Shuangxi look at it, and then left as quickly as possible.
Shuangxi simply sat on a stone next to the creek and rested.
"Xi'er?" A girl of thirteen or fourteen years old came from the village carrying a basket of clothes and gradually approached Shuangxi.
This girl is a bit tall, not quite like a girl, with a slightly sick look on her face. She is wearing a whitened gray cloth that has been washed. Her eyes are very bright, and she seems to be a little surprised when she sees Double Happiness.
After so many days of Shuangxi, she had never seen this girl in Qingshi Village. At this moment, the girl called Shuangxi, and she tried hard to search for the memory of this girl in her mind.
But there was only a vague shadow in her mind.
"Xi'er, this nest is for you to eat." A tall and thin girl thrust something golden into her hands.
It seemed to be the most delicious thing the original Double Happiness had ever eaten, so much so that she could only remember what it looked like...a steamed steamed bun with yellow noodles.
She doesn't remember who gave her this thing.
When she saw the tall girl in front of her, she unconsciously overlapped the image in her mind with the girl in front of her.
The girl took a few steps forward and knelt down, just level with Shuangxi who was sitting there. She looked at Shuangxi's thoughtful expression and said, "I'm Dani, you don't remember me, do you?"
"Forget it, I know you won't remember who I am every time you see me."
Dani? Shuangxi looked at the girl in front of him, and it seemed that the girl in his mind was Dani.
"I heard that you were sold by your parents to be a common wife? Why are you back again?" Dani asked doubtfully.
Hearing these words, Shuangxi suddenly became alert. He had made such a big noise in this village recently. Who wouldn't know that he had moved back with the Shen brothers?
"Are you from Qingshi Village?" Shuangxi looked at Dani and asked, as if he wanted to see through her.
Who knew that Dani would actually scream: "Ghost!"
This scream really startled Shuangxi: "Don't talk nonsense, what the hell is going on!"
In the past, Shuangxi would not have believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, but now that she can travel through time, what else is impossible to happen?
Dani tremblingly pointed at Shuangxi with her left hand that was not carrying the basket and said, "You--you're not a ghost?"
"Bah! Bah! Bah! I'm not a ghost." Shuangxi said quickly.
"Then...how can you speak so fluently? What if it's not a ghost?" Dani said as she took a step back.
Shuangxi thought to herself. She was aware that she had met a Leng sister. She wanted to ignore it, but when she thought that she knew the original version of Shuangxi and seemed to be kind to the original version of Shuangxi, she couldn't ignore it.
Since I took over the body of the original Double Happiness, I should do something about her past instead of completely forgetting it.
If you do something bad to her, you may not necessarily retaliate. But if you do something good to her, you must be grateful.
Shuangxi suddenly took over and took Dani's hand before Dani could react.
"Ah, please let me go, I haven't done anything bad." Dani shouted quickly.
Shuangxi looked around for a week, but fortunately there was no one there. If others saw it, they would probably think that he was bullying this Dani.
Shuangxi said softly: "Dani, look at my hands. There is warmth in my hands, but ghosts have no warmth. Also, if you look at the ground, I have a shadow, but ghosts have no shadow either."
Dani looked suspiciously at the grassland where young grass sprouts had just emerged. There was a gray shadow on it, and she felt the warmth coming from Shuangxi's hands, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
But he still confirmed uneasily: "Are you really not a ghost?"
Shuangxi shook his head: "No."
Dani withdrew the hand held by Shuangxi, patted her chest and said, "I heard my mother say that you were sold to be a shared wife, and you will be ruined to death soon..." Dani
After speaking, he carefully glanced at Shuangxi.
Fortunately, Shuangxi's mind was not on this now, but asked: "I have been back in this village for a long time, how could you not know?"
Dani said in a low voice: "A few days after you passed by, I was sold to the town by my mother and worked as a maid for a family. My wife had a health problem and could not have children. When the master saw that I was strong, he
I just want to..." As she said this, Dani had a look of shame and anger on her face.
Shuangxi already understood something in his heart, and then said: "Then the lady sent you back, right?"
Dani nodded, thinking of the lady, with a little fear in her eyes.
"When did you come back?" the two lovers asked curiously.
"I just came back." Dani kicked the grass with her feet, then raised her head and asked happily: "Xi'er, is your stupid illness cured?"
Shuangxi looked at Da Na's concerned look and nodded gently: "Okay."
Dani suddenly smiled: "Let me just say, good people must be rewarded. Look, your illness is cured! I'm so happy for you."
At this time, Dani seemed to have remembered something and asked: "Didn't you become a co-wife? Were you also sent back?"
Shuangxi didn't have time to answer Dani's question in a hurry.
Dani continued: "This is great! Let Brother Shuisheng marry you when the time comes. When you were stupid, he said he could marry you. Now that you are fine! He must be more willing."
Shuangxi didn't have time to think about who Shuisheng Dani was talking about, and said: "I am still the common wife of the Shen family..."
Dani seemed a little surprised and opened her mouth wide: "Don't they live in the mountains? Then why did you move down?"
Shuangxi pointed to a house that could be clearly seen from the river and said, "We moved down and live there."
Dani glanced at it, then frowned and asked with a worried look: "They say it's hard to be a shared wife... Did the brothers in that family bully you in particular?"
In the past, Dani would never have asked such a question, but after walking around the city, there were rumors about various hidden things in everyone's backyard.
Shuangxi understood what Dani was asking and said with a smile: "They didn't bully me."
Dani looked at Shuangxi with disbelief. How could such co-wives not be miserable?
Although Shuangxi has never had any interaction with Dani, and the only impressions he has are in the vague memory of the original Shuangxi, Shuangxi knows that Dani cares about him.
He smiled and said, "Do you think I've gained a lot of weight? I'm much better than before, right?"
Dani glanced at Shuangxi and then noticed that Shuangxi had changed a lot.
The person has gained some weight, and even his originally dry and yellow hair has become softer, and his whole complexion has improved, and he feels relieved now.
Dani said with envy: "You really married into a good family. Although it is a bit difficult to share a wife, it seems that your husbands still love you."
At the end, Dani said with a sigh: "It would be great if I could marry into a good family sometime."
Shuangxi smiled and said, "I will definitely do it." A good girl like Dani will definitely marry into a good family in the future.
Why does Shuangxi think Dani is a good girl? Based on her concern for the original version of Shuangxi, Shuangxi knows that Dani is a kind person.
Dani seemed to have something on her mind, and sighed sadly, then walked to the waterside with the basket on her back, and started washing clothes on the bluestone slightly soaked in the water.
This ancient laundry detergent uses the seeds of a plant called soapberry, which are round and rich in saponin. When crushed and used to wash clothes, they can create foam.
Although this thing is not as useful as modern washing powder, laundry detergent, soap, etc., it was enough in ancient times.
The air in ancient times was very clear. In addition, when eating on weekdays, there is no oil or water. There are rarely oil stains on the clothes. The dust and dirt can be washed away by smashing it with a stick and rubbing it with your hands.
It's seventy-eight percent clean.
Shuangxi watched Dani put her hand in the water and said quickly: "Dani, this water is very cold."
Dani, however, acted as if she hadn't heard Shuangxi's words. Her hand was turning a men's shirt in the water, making a splashing sound. Her hand was already slightly red in the water.
Shuangxi knew how important this woman's hands were to him. If he caught a cold, it would probably affect his fertility.
In modern times, this is no small matter. In ancient times, if a woman had no children, she would be guilty of seven sins, and her husband's family would have the right to divorce her.
In this early spring, the weather is still a bit cold, and it feels chilly to the bone when putting your hands in the water. Dani is clearly ruining herself by washing clothes like this.
Just when Shuangxi was still trying to persuade her, Dani's voice came: "What can I do if I don't wash? If I don't wash, I'll just starve."
When Shuangxi heard this, he and Dani felt a sympathy for each other for some reason. It turned out that the cruel parents were not only the superb parents in the original Shuangxi, but also Dani's parents.
"Daughter-in-law!" A joyful voice came from a distance, and it was Shen Mo who came to Shuangxi like a trot.
"The eldest brother and the second brother will be here soon. I was afraid that you would be alone here, so I came here first." Shen Mo said breathlessly with a bright smile on his face.
Shuangxi took out a square handkerchief made of old cloth from his arms and handed it to Shen Mo.
Shen Mo was extremely happy at the concern from his wife. He quickly took it and carefully wiped the sweat on his head.
At this time, Dani looked back at Shuangxi and one of her husbands.
I felt a little envious in my heart, and then sighed. Thinking about my current situation, I felt that my future was bleak. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is mine.
