Chapter 24 Stealing
"No need, no need, these clothes can be washed with just a stick of incense." Mrs. Sun waved her hands and said, looking up at the sun above her head, she said to Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, the sun is good today, the kitchen is
There is still a lot of hot water in the cauldron. How about I go get some hot water for you to take a bath?"
Upon Sun's mention, Yang Ruoqing raised her arm and sniffed it, her brows suddenly knitted together.
Oh my god, it smells so bad that I almost vomited to death!
Seeing her look like this, Ms. Sun felt happy and couldn't help laughing.
Yang Ruoqing was startled, she didn't expect this cheap girl to look pretty when she smiles!
By the way, I have encountered a lot of trouble after traveling here, and I really haven’t had a good bath!
Mrs. Sun soaked her clothes in the water for a while, got up and went back to her room. She carried a large wooden basin for bathing into Yang Ruoqing's house.
Yang Ruoqing followed Sun to the kitchen again. The kitchen was dark. The pot stand was set up against a wall. There were two large pots for boiling water inside and cooking outside. There was a chisel between the two large pots.
There are several holes, holding large and small earthen pots and so on.
In the simple cabinet in the corner, there are a row of earthenware bowls and chopsticks. On one side of the cabinet stands a large water tank with no lid, and a gourd ladle floating on the water.
There are wooden stakes on the yellow mud walls on both sides, and bamboo baskets of different sizes, bamboo sieves and the like are hung on the wooden stakes.
Mrs. Sun went straight over and opened the lid of the big pot inside, put her hand in to feel the temperature of the water, then closed the lid again, walked around to the mouth of the stove, picked up a handful of loose hair and added it in.
After a crackling sound, the fire in the stove lit up, and Mrs. Sun added a few more handfuls of firewood. After a while, white mist appeared around the cauldron.
The two women worked together to carry a bucket full of hot water at the correct temperature to Yang Ruoqing's house, and poured it into the large wooden basin that had been prepared in advance.
"Qing'er, can you do it alone? Do you really want your mother to rub your back?" Mrs. Sun wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked again with a smile.
Yang Ruoqing blushed and shook her head hurriedly: "No need, Mom, I can do it on my own, you can go ahead and do your thing!"
"Well, mom is washing clothes in the yard, what do you want to say?"
"Hey, okay!"
After Mrs. Sun left, Yang Ruoqing closed the door and window, took off all the clothes on her body that had long been indistinguishable in three strokes, bent down to the edge of the wooden basin, and leaned against the clear water.
Turn your head and take a closer look at your new face!
fat!
ugly!
black!
The facial features were squeezed out of shape, with a double chin and no visible neck. He smiled widely, with a mouthful of yellow teeth and a mess of hair that was as big as a bird's nest...
I go!
Isn’t this look too cool?
The heart of a powerful agent like my sister has a tendency to collapse. I feel sorry for my parents. It has been tested for a long time!
She raised her hand and scratched her hair. The hair was all knotted and she probably couldn't wash it in the bucket. She would have to go to the pond.
Forget it, let's wash ourselves first.
Yang Ruoqing sat in the basin and suddenly realized a very serious problem.
In this era, there is no shower gel or soap, how do you wash?
She glanced around and finally found the bathing tool Sun had prepared for her.
A handful of plant ash and a loofah pulp.
Yang Ruoqing was a little dumbfounded, forget it, do as the Romans do, just use it like this!
The flesh of a loofah that has aged over time is similar to that of a steel wool ball. The sound it makes when it is scratched on the body reminds Yang Ruoqing of scraping pig skin in a slaughterhouse...
The corner of his mouth twitched fiercely, God is really humorous, thinking about his previous life, how could he be regarded as a standard royal sister, a goddess-level figure!
I can’t bear to look at this look now!
I washed so hard that I almost scraped two kilograms of meat off my body. I still felt that the washing was not satisfactory, but the water in the basin was muddy. After stirring it a few times, I could insert the chopsticks stably.
I got up, dried myself, and put on the clean, patched clothes that I had prepared one by one.
They had just tidied up here and opened the door to call Mrs. Sun to come over and help pour the bath water. Outside in the small courtyard, Mrs. Tan came in through the small door with a fierce look on her face.
Mrs. Tan didn't even glance at Yang Ruoqing, and walked straight towards the kitchen in the upper room with her little feet. When she passed by Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Tan spat hard.
Mrs. Sun's heart was shaken, and she stood up hurriedly. She wiped her hands on the clothes in front of her randomly a few times. When she saw Mrs. Tan's hands wrapped in white gauze, she murmured at the corner of her lips that she didn't know how to ask. This hesitant question
In the meantime, Mrs. Tan had already opened the kitchen curtain and stepped into the house.
Inside the kitchen, there was a loud banging sound.
In the yard, Mrs. Sun stayed on the spot, staring in the direction of the kitchen, with a confused look on her face.
Yang Ruoqing had already come to Mrs. Sun's side, and glanced towards the kitchen. A playful smile appeared on her lips, and she said to Mrs. Sun in a low voice: "Mom, my grandma is rummaging through boxes and cabinets. I'm afraid she wants to find something out."
It’s evidence that we both stole food!”
"What?" Mrs. Sun was shocked, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"It's not even dinner time yet. What are you going to eat on the sly? Qing'er, don't make blind guesses. It won't be good if your mother hears it." Mrs. Sun warned in a low voice.
"Mom, you will know later if I made a wild guess." Yang Ruoqing smiled, put down these words, and turned around to go to her west wing.
Sun glanced at Yang Ruoqing's back again, opened her mouth, but said nothing more.
I think it has been more than ten years since I entered Lao Yang's house. Although I have always been scolded by this fierce mother-in-law, she really didn't say anything about stealing this piece of food.
Why?
My hands and feet are clean. Unlike my second sister-in-law, Lao Yang's family doesn't say anything, but their hearts are clear.
Because of this, my mother-in-law has always left it to her to take care of the meals. This is trust!
Thinking of this, Ms. Sun became more confident. Just as she was about to turn around and finish washing her clothes, she went up to the door of the kitchen. Ms. Tan opened the curtain and stood at the door of the kitchen with a dark face, facing this way.
Mr. Sun was always yelling and scolding.
"A pair of lazy people selling bad things, eating them up and wiping them all away, can't even find any scraps!"
Mrs. Sun paused, then raised her head, with a look of astonishment on her face.
"Mom, what do you mean?"
"You have ears and can't understand people's words?" Mrs. Tan gave Mrs. Sun a fierce look, "I came from the end of the village, and I saw black smoke coming out of our chimney from a distance. You lazy and evil woman
, you dare not admit it when I’m not at home to steal food?”
When Mrs. Sun heard this, her face turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
