Chapter 53 Three words: Not buried

Old man Xu took a look, and what he saw was a strong fragrance, so special, he had never smelled it, nor seen it.

When he heard what good thing Persia brought back, he said in pain: "This good thing is a waste for us to wash our hair and take a shower. Why don't you keep it and bring it to your aunt tomorrow?"

Just hide it here and use it, you can’t pass it on, if you take it out carelessly and give it away to others, that’s no good, the outsiders are smart, and the excuse brought back from Persia may be fooled.

Xu Dajun hurriedly said: "If you can't wash it with plant ashes, we have to use this to wash it clean and go to visit relatives, and you won't bury it, right? Besides, that's it, not much, and it's not like giving it away."

No matter how you say it, old man Xu didn't say anything about giving it away, but asked everyone to take it for washing.

When the big guy heard that it was a good gift from Xu Dajun's classmate, he specially washed his hair and took a bath, and when he smelled it again, everyone was amazed by the fragrance.

They all felt that it was a pity to let them use this good thing, and they were a little reluctant to do it. They took turns washing one by one, and only deducted a little, for fear of using too much.

Not to mention, the shampoo produced by this system is very good, a little bit can produce a lot of foam, and the cleaning effect is very good.

Even if it is just a little bit, it is much cleaner than plant ash.

Xu Yinyin was in the third row, eagerly busy carrying water and gathering firewood, and now it was finally her turn, she couldn't wait, took the clean clothes, and together with Zhang Xiulan, went to the temporary building Go to the hut.

The clothes are clean. Last night, the Ma family, the Zhou family, Xu Wuya, and even the old lady Xu squinted their presbyopic eyes to help. They took apart the cotton clothes worn by the family and sewed them into the clean clothes. , just changed after taking a shower.

The huts are all newly built and not used much, so they don't look like they are discarded at the moment, and it is convenient to live in the open air, and Xu Yinyin can still accept bathing in such a hut at the moment.

There was a lot of shampoo in the earthen pot, and Xu Yinyin still had a lot left in the bottle. It was used in a fair manner at the moment, and she was not afraid of the smell, so it would be difficult to explain, so Xu Yinyin was not at all reluctant, so she threw it away and used it. With Zhang Xiulan, they were so born that they washed their hair again and again.

As for taking a bath, I also rubbed mud and rubbed mud again. The two of you rubbed my back and I rubbed your back, and they also washed well two or three times.

They used a lot of water, so Xu Dajun stood outside and was responsible for fetching water for them, so as not to bother others.

In one day, several families lined up and were busy cleaning.

The other dozen or so households in the same village watched their movements from a distance, and murmured, they were tired and hungry after fleeing famine for a month, they hadn't had enough to eat, and they had time to toss around, so they were really free.

They are all mud legs, so what are they doing?

They all shook their heads and muttered to themselves. Just smelling the fragrance wafting in the air, they still couldn't help but poke their heads out of curiosity, what are they doing?Why is it so fragrant!
It was mid-afternoon when the last washing was done, the fire was not on, and the water in the pot continued to boil. When Xu Chunshan and others returned from work in the city in the evening, they immediately picked up the water for washing.

After washing, the sky will be dark.

Although there are not many people who earned a day's wages yesterday, like Xu's family, the three brothers have thirty cash.

Today, old man Xu specially asked Zhou Zhouchuan to take Deng Dalang to the city to help buy some of the cheapest brown rice for each family.

Now that they took a bath, the family members began to eat. Each person had a big bowl of porridge with wild vegetables. This was the first meal of the day, but the fragrance spoiled everyone.

After eating, everyone took a rest and smelled the fragrance on their bodies. It was a rare sleep, and everyone slept soundly.

Xu Yinyin, too, has been here for so long, and it is the first time she sleeps so peacefully, even if there are not enough rooms and beds, she can only sleep cramped on the bed tied with bamboo sticks. She listened to her dad's loud snoring, but she also slept better than ever every night.

The whole body is fragrant and full of everything.

The only downside is that there are still lice in the hair, which can't be washed off, and tomorrow I'll have to ask her father to buy a grate and grate slowly when she comes back.

……

In the early morning of the second day, old man Xu took Xu Dajun, dressed in decent clothes, with neatly combed hair, and went into the city with Xu Chunhe and others who had to carry big bags.

I also went with Zhou Zhouchuan and others who couldn't carry big bags. I thought that I took a bath yesterday and looked refreshed. I will try to go to the city again today to see if I can find a job. Some of the firewood I collected was sold.

After entering the city, Xu Chunhe and others went straight to the wharf where they were working yesterday. It was agreed that they could work for several days in a row.

Zhou Chuan and others went to sell firewood first, and then squatted at the low wall, while old man Xu took Xu Dajun to the east of the city.

We made an appointment to meet at the gate of the city in the afternoon.

Old man Xu came to Yiyang Mansion when he was sending his little sister off to marry. Now more than [-] years have passed, this mansion has changed a lot, and he can't remember clearly. He only knows that Fang's family is Jinyu in the east of the city in the workshop.

The grandfather and grandson went shopping first, the old man Xu didn't have much money, and the sale of the land and the sale of the house added up to fifty taels, which was originally used to escape the famine and settle down, and now to build a house It doesn't cost any money, and other things can be saved as much as possible.

So old man Xu gritted his teeth, and directly took out five taels of silver to buy this gift to go back to his little sister-in-law's house.

Five taels of silver, if you really buy it, you can't buy much, but fortunately, you can also look at it.

When we arrived in the east of the city, we still asked someone to ask, and finally found Jinyufang all the way.

There is an old locust tree at the entrance of the square, and there are many red cloth strips hanging on the branches. Old man Xu has some impressions when he looks at it, it is right here.

But when he entered Fangshi, he couldn't remember exactly which one it was, but he only remembered that it was not far from Fangkou.

"Liulang, look, which one says Fang Zhai?"

The grandparents and grandchildren walked all the way in, looking at the door plaques of the passing houses.

Going all the way to the seventh house, there is a house on the right, the door plaque hanging on the small red lacquered door is the Fang Zhai, Xu Dajun pointed and said: "Master, this is the Fang Zhai, is it this one?"

Old man Xu looked around carefully, looked at the red lantern hanging on the door, and seemed to have a little impression, "It should be this place, knock on the door and have a look."

Xu Dajun stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After knocking for a while, footsteps could be heard from inside. Soon, the door opened from the inside. A young boy came out and opened the door. Seeing the grandparents and grandchildren outside, he was stunned, "Who are you looking for?"

Old man Xu said, "Is this Fang Changxu's home?"

The kid nodded, his eyes were even more puzzled, "Who are you?"

Seeing that he saw the right door, old man Xu looked at the boy's age and said calmly, "Are your parents at home? We are from Yunzhou."

From Yunzhou?

Fang Yuxing was pleasantly surprised for a moment, and looked at old man Xu twice more, "But uncle?"

Old man Xu nodded, "Are you Yuxing?"

"Yes, Uncle, I'm Yuxing!"

Seeing that the other party could call out his name, and he was from Yunzhou again, Fang Yuxing was so happy that he quickly opened the door and asked Old Man Xu and his grandchildren to enter, "Uncle, please come in quickly, my mother is at home. This is always thinking of you!"
