Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 233 I'm Going To Wash (Fourth Update)

Mrs. Tan curled her lips: "We follow the rules, but we can't be extravagant and wasteful. The money didn't come from the wind!"

"I was also swallowed 150 Wen by the dead fat girl, that dead girl who cheated her heart..."

Tan began to curse Yang Ruoqing again.

Old Yang was tired of hearing it.

She interrupted Tan's words with a wave of her hand: "This is a happy event, stop!"

Tan shi shut her mouth unwillingly, and sat sideways.

Old Yang went on to discuss with his sons the matter of going through the house in the next few days.

Yang Hua'an stayed at home to assist Tan's plan to purchase a list of gifts, and Yang Huaming was in charge of purchasing.

As for Yang Huazhou, he was sent to the back mountain to cut down some big trees and start making wedding beds, tables and chairs.

……

In the next few days, everyone in Lao Yang's family was busy with the matter of getting married with the fifth daughter-in-law.

Purchasing, cleaning the house and courtyard, and notifying relatives and friends.

On Sanfang's side, Yang Ruoqing's family was not idle either.

While the sun is good, the starch that needs to be washed and the one that needs to be dried are dried, and the front and back of the house are all full of sun.

"Mother, I'll go out for a while and come home before lunch."

Yang Ruoqing helped Mrs. Sun hang the patched sheets to dry, and said.

Sun asked, "Qing'er, where are you going?"

"I want to go to Tang Yazi's house, take advantage of today's good day, and help him and his uncle wash the sheets." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Okay, then you go, remember to bring the saponin powder and the mallet." Sun urged.

"Well, it's all in this basket!"

Just turning the bluestone road in front of the house, Yang Ruoqing saw a carriage slowly entering the village from the pond at the entrance of the village.

There are not many families with cattle in the village, so it is considered good to be able to ride an ox cart in the town.

As for riding in a carriage, it is even more extravagant.

Yang Ruoqing looked towards the carriage as she walked, and the other villagers she met on the road were also looking.

The carriage stopped at a fork at the entrance of the village, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young man in blue straight embroidered jumped out of the carriage.

Mu Zichuan?

Yang Ruoqing narrowed her eyes.

This kid came back to say goodbye, didn't he say that he would not return to the village until the end of the year?

Why did you come back so soon?

Just as he was thinking about it, Mu Zichuan turned around and helped his mother, Widow Liu, out of the carriage.

Widow Liu held a blue-blue and white-flowered bundle in her hand, and the inside of the bundle was bulging.

Mu Zichuan took the burden from her and supported her.

Under the watchful eyes of the villagers in all directions, he paid the fare and walked towards his home with his mother.

The boy's body is thin and thin, but his waist is straight.

Walking forward without looking sideways, his handsome profile gives people the indifference that rejects others thousands of miles away.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at it from a distance, then looked away, and then rushed towards the old Luo's house.

When Yang Ruoqing walked into the courtyard of the old Luo family, she couldn't help being happy when she saw the scene in front of her.

In the courtyard, the low courtyard wall covered with yellow mud was strewn with tattered quilts.

The yellowed cotton wool rolled into balls and leaked from the holes in the quilt cover.

There was a large tub for bathing in the yard, and inside the tub was soaked with plant ash, an indistinguishable bed sheet.

The water is black and sticky enough to hold chopsticks.

"Hey, where did the laundry man go?"

She raised her head and looked around the yard, but she didn't see any figures of Blacksmith Luo and Luo Fengtang.

So he yelled loudly.

"here I am!"

Luo Fengtang stood at the window of the west room and beckoned to her, then he strode out of the room and came to the courtyard.

"Qing'er, why are you free today?"

He asked with a smile, and there was still fine sweat on his forehead.

The sleeves were rolled up to the shoulders, exposing strong and powerful arms.

Under the sunlight, the wheat-colored skin glowed with a healthy and wild luster.

"It's a good day today, I'll supervise you to dry your clothes!"

Yang Ruoqing said with a smile, glanced at the quilt over there, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, the performance is good, it deserves praise!"

Commendation?

Hearing this word, Luo Fengtang couldn't help but think of the special 'reward' she gave him last time.

His cheeks felt slightly hot, and his throat moved.

Looking at her, a trace of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

It's a pity that Yang Ruoqing's attention was focused on the ball of sheets in the basin by her feet, and she didn't notice what was in his eyes.

"Hey, how long have you soaked the sheets?" She asked him as she lightly touched the wooden basin with her foot.

He suppressed the little disappointment in his heart, thought for a while and said, "I'll take it out and soak it when I wake up today."

Soak in the morning?

Yang Ruoqing calculated according to his usual wake-up time, her eyebrows and eyes were raised.

"It's almost two hours, quickly pick it up, or it will rot!"

"what?"

Luo Fengtang was also in a hurry, there were only these two sheets at home, he slept on one bed and uncle slept on the other.

If it is soaked and rotten, there will be no sleep.

He hurriedly squatted down to grab the quilt, twisting it with his big hands, and the black water dripped off his feet all over the floor.

As he twisted, he secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, I am wearing straw sandals this time. If I were wearing the cloth shoes given to me by Qinger, it would be a pity if they get dirty now!

Here, Yang Ruoqing looked at his flustered look and shook her head secretly.

This kid, who is good at wielding knives and sticks with both hands, is really clumsy in doing these things.

"let me help you!"

She said, put down the basket she was carrying, rolled up her sleeves and took the end of the quilt in his hand.

"Tang Yazi, I'll pull this end, you pull that end, we will twist in opposite directions."

"Ok!"

The two of them wrung it together, just like twisting twists, and the black water inside the quilt splashed down.

Guessing that it was almost done, Yang Ruoqing took the end he was pulling, folded it and put it into the basket she brought.

There is another sheet to follow suit.

"This quilt can't be washed in the basin at home, so it has to be taken to the pond." Yang Ruoqing said.

Luo Fengtang's face showed a look of embarrassment.

He grinned and said, "It's okay, at worst, I'll just wash it a few more times."

Yang Ruoqing caught the fleeting look of embarrassment on his face.

She suddenly realized.

In this day and age, it is typical for men to be superior to women.

Men don't cook or wash clothes.

The laundry by the pond at the entrance of the village is all women.

While washing clothes, there was a lot of chirping.

The east is the elder, the west is short, they are all talking nonsense.

In the village, like Luo Tiejiang, a bachelor's family, most of the laundry is done by staying at home and fooling around.

"Well, I'll take these two sheets to the pond to wash."

Yang Ruoqing said, and immediately picked up the bamboo basket.

Luo Fengtang was startled, then stopped her and said: "Qing'er, how can I let you wash it, if you want to wash it, I will do it!"

As he spoke, he was about to come and snatch the bamboo basket in her hand.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled: "The women in the pond at the entrance of the village gather together, and they talk about meat and vegetables. Are you not afraid?"

Luo Fengtang blushed, obviously a little scared.

Yang Ruoqing laughed, and slapped away his hand holding the bamboo basket.

"I'll finish washing in a while, you pour this basin of black water as far as you can, and then sweep the yard, and I'll be back after washing!"
