At this time, the Xu family did not know that their family was about to welcome a new member, who was also the nominal elder.

Xu Qingmu’s house.

Gu Lang sent Sister Xu Shuxin home, said a few words to Cui Lanhua, and then returned to the Shanglin Brigade.

He has decided to transfer to the Peace Brigade, and of course he has to do it as soon as possible, so he has to go back now.

Another thing was that it was getting late now and he didn't want to go back in the dark.

Not long after Gu Lang left, Xu Shuyue and others also returned home.

Before, they had restrained their excitement when they were outside, but now when they returned home, they could no longer restrain their excitement. They gathered around the bicycle and looked at it, as if they were looking at some big treasure.

Even Cui Lanhua couldn't resist the charm of the bicycle and gathered around to watch.

Xu Shuxin folded her hands and was speechless.

She said: "Mom, sisters, if you look at it like this, you can't see the bicycle as a flower. According to me, you might as well push the bicycle out for a few laps now. Maybe you can learn it tonight." "

How can you learn by just watching?

Cui Lanhua shook her head quickly, "No, we don't know how to do it yet. If we step on it like this, what if we crash the car?"

Xu Shuyue also shook her head, "I don't dare either."

It’s not that important if I fall, the main reason is that I’m afraid of breaking the bike.

Even if it doesn’t break, you’ll feel bad if it knocks somewhere. This is a new bicycle, how could it get knocked just after you bought it?
Xu Shuxin said: "This bicycle can withstand falls and will not be broken. Besides, a bicycle is just a means of transportation. Why does it need to be treated with such care?"

Xu Shuyue was very helpless at her little sister's mentality, "Xinxin, this is a bicycle we bought at a high price. Even if it doesn't break, it will be very distressing if it gets bumped. Look at the bicycle of the Party Secretary's family. How long have you been buying it? Why don’t you still keep it?”

If a member of the team wanted to borrow a bicycle from him, he would have to check the situation before agreeing to borrow it. Even if he borrowed it, he would have to check it again when returning it and wipe the bicycle clean with a rag.

With that attitude, I'm afraid he doesn't care so much about his own wife!
"Your eldest sister is right, you should wait until your father comes back to learn." Cui Lanhua said.

If the child is supported by his father, he will not fall down while learning to drive, and he will not hit the bicycle.

Among the children, only Xu Shuyu felt that Xu Shuxin was right and was even ready to take action. She wanted to learn to drive now, but was ruthlessly suppressed by Cui Lanhua.

"No, we have to wait until your father comes back. It doesn't matter if you fall, but the car can't fall."

Then he turned to Xu Shuyue and told her, "Yueyue, watch your sisters and don't let them learn to drive secretly! Your father will be back soon. I'll prepare the meals."

After saying that, Cui Lanhua reluctantly looked at the bicycle twice before leaving for the kitchen.

When she entered the kitchen, Xu Shuyu took Xu Shuyue's hand and shouted in a longer tone: "Sister~"

Xu Shuyue's body trembled, and she almost relented, but in the end she steadied herself, "No!"

Xu Shuyu looked at Xu Shuxin.

Xu Shuxin immediately turned her head, "Second sister, it's useless for you to look at me, we all have to listen to the elder sister!"

Although she thought there was nothing wrong with the new bicycle being dropped a few times, but since her mother and eldest sister both felt distressed...

Forget it.

Third sister Xu Shuting encouraged her, "Second sister, how about I help you hold the eldest sister while you push the bicycle out?"

Xu Shuyu tapped Xu Shuting's forehead angrily, "You want to see your second sister's joke, right?"

Xu Shuxin looked at it for a while and found it boring, so she said, "I'm going to make soap. Is there anyone here to help me?"

"Me!" Xu Shuyan was the first to respond, and even raised her hand.

"Me!" This is the second sister.

"And us!"

When Xu Shuxin asked, all the sisters stopped looking at the bicycles and came to help.

It’s not like bicycles can run here, but they haven’t seen making their own soap yet, and they all want to get involved.Xu Shuxin waved her hand, "Then let's go!"

Then, the seven sisters went to the place where the ashes of grass and wood were soaked.

After a day and night of soaking, the plant ash and water have merged together.

Xu Shuxin reached out and fished it out. Although she didn't find any particles, she decided to filter it.

Hearing that she wanted to filter, Xu Shuyue went to find a piece of cotton cloth.

After filtering, Xu Shuxin said: "Now this water is alkaline water, but the concentration may not be enough. The next step is to heat it to evaporate the water and thicken the alkali solution. Sister, go get two pairs of gloves."

At this point, Xu Shuxin slapped her head and said, "I forgot to prepare a mask, but it shouldn't matter. We didn't do much this time. If we be careful, we should be fine."

"I'll go!" Xu Shuyu said and ran to get the gloves first.

When she came back, she already had a pair of gloves on her hands.

She handed the other pair to Xu Shuyue and said to Xu Shuxin: "Xinxin, what to do next, just tell me, eldest sister and I will do it. Just watch from the side. If something is wrong, remind us."

"Second sister, I want to do it too." Xu Shuyan said.

Xu Shuyu slapped her away, "You're still young, go away!"

Third sister Xu Shuting echoed, "Yes, we sisters haven't had our turn yet, so it will be your turn."

Fifth sister Xu Shurou: "That's right!"

The fourth sister Xu Shuyuan did not speak, but nodded, obviously agreeing with the words of the two sisters.

Xu Shuyan pursed her lips and said, "Xinxin, next time we will do it by ourselves without taking them to play!"

Xu Shuxin nodded perfunctorily, "Okay."

Xu Shuyan was satisfied.

Next, Xu Shuxin directed from the side, asking the eldest sister and the second sister to cooperate, one to light the fire, and the other to stir the lye from time to time.

After almost half of the water evaporated, Xu Shuxin watched the washed chicken feathers dissolve in the lye, and she knew that the concentration of the lye was enough.

Next it’s the turn of the oil and lye to react.

This time she chose lard.

After adding the lye to the lard, Xu Shuyue kept stirring to allow the two to fully react. When more than half of the water evaporated, he added salt to it and continued stirring.

Another good time passed.

"It's changed, it's thickened!" Xu Shuyan couldn't help but exclaimed as she lay beside the stove.

Xu Shuxin nodded, "That's almost it. Second Sister, we can cease fire."

She turned around and went to the side to get the bamboo tube. This was a simple mold.

Because of her sudden whim and lack of time, she could only use this instead.

Xu Shuyue carefully poured the solution in the pot into the bamboo mold, "Xinxin, it's ready."

Xu Shuxin: "That's it, just wait a few days and wait for it to solidify."

Cui Lanhua's voice came into the kitchen, "Are you okay? Come over for dinner when you are."

Xu Shuxin responded: "Okay!"

Then he said to his sisters: "Let's go to eat quickly."

I found the method of making soap from plant ash online, but I don’t know if it is really possible (*/ω\*)
