Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 167 Dreaming Farts

Four people came down from the soil bank, and the leader was Aunt Yu, the daughter-in-law of Captain Bao. She brought her 12-year-old daughter Dongmei to do the laundry. Captain Bao's family of more than a dozen elderly and children also picked clothes every time they did the laundry.

The last two were Luo Lihua, and an aunt named Liang in the village, each carrying a bamboo basket.

Everyone greeted each other, and seeing Meng Tao's bed sheets and quilt covers piled up on the rocks like a hill, they all exclaimed: "Why do you wash so much?!"

Meng Tao said with a smile: "Last time when guests came to stay, they had to wash and tidy up after they left. There are seven or eight people, one bed per person, that's too much."

Aunt Liang clicked her tongue: "It's also fortunate that your house is spacious, and there are educated youths living there, so you can use their quilts. If so many guests come to our house suddenly, we really can't live there."

"No, it's useless for the educated youths. I prepared a few quilts myself. The guests knew that my family's conditions were not good, so they also brought a few quilts. This is enough." Meng Tao explained.

"Tsk tsk, there are even guests who bring their own bedding. Your guests are so kind." Aunt Liang laughed.

"Peach Blossom, I'll wash it for you." Luo Lihua came over and shared a big stone with Meng Tao.

Meng Tao did not refuse, and said with a smile: "I will invite you to my house for dinner that night."

There are indeed too many clothes. No matter how strong you are, washing alone will be tiring and time-consuming.

The river water is not cold. This place is quite strange. No matter how the north wind blows and the snow falls heavily in winter, the river water feels warm to the touch. In the early morning, you can still see steam swirling on the river surface. If you are brave enough, you can actually go swimming in the river .

Luo Lihua was also polite: "Okay, your radio is good. I like listening to the songs on it the most."

Bao Dongmei and her mother occupied another big rock not far away, turned back and shouted at Meng Tao: "Sister Taohua, I will wash it for you later, will you invite me to dinner tonight?"

"Please! Definitely please."

Aunt Yu scolded her daughter with a smile: "Fortunately, this is in our village. Your sister Taohua is not an outsider. It's not like this when you go outside. It makes people laugh!"

A few women chatted and laughed while beating and beating the laundry clothes. This is how rural laundry clothes are in this era, because the thick cotton clothes worn by most people are thick and rough, and it is not easy to rub them with hands. A clothes stick is a must-have. They all have one, take them to the river, soap the clothes, beat them on the stones, rinse them twice in clean water, and the laundry project is complete.

Halfway through the wash, another group of people came down from the bank, but it was Tian Xianglan with her four daughters and Zhao Liulian.

Tian Xianglan and Zhao Liulian quarreled as they walked, one with a rough voice and the other with a high-pitched voice, it was difficult not to hear it.

If it was another sister-in-law quarreling, Aunt Yu and Aunt Liang would still be interested in watching and eating melons, but it was the Tian family, and they all showed disgusted expressions.

Tian Xianglan saw that Meng Tao was also by the river, so she stopped arguing with Zhao Liulian and came directly to Meng Tao: "You bastard! You beat my brother on the first day of the new year. Isn't it enough for you to hurt our Tian family?"

Meng Tao is not used to scolding, and of course she doesn't want to be scolded, especially when Tian's mother and daughter always scold her as a "scumbag". I'll beat you up too!"

The wooden cleaning stick made of pine hit Zhongtian Xianglan's shoulder accurately, causing pain at most, and no one could be hurt, but Tian Xianglan lay down on the spot and shouted loudly: "Killed! God saw, everyone saw, Meng Taohua killed someone!"

When the children saw their mother collapsed, they all gathered around and cried and screamed. Zhao Liulian rolled her eyes twice, and followed suit, shouting, "Come here! Kill me!"

Meng Tao sneered: "Pengci came to the river?"All right, let her have her fill.

Just thinking about throwing Tian Xianglan into the river to sober up, Aunt Yu stood up straight and yelled: "Shut up! Your Tian family is really enough, shame on you and make trouble! Tian Xianglan, pretend again? I see you If you don't want to stay in Linshui Village, go back to your old Liang's village immediately!"

Hearing this, Tian Xianglan jumped up and said, "Aunt Yu, you saw it too, it was Meng Taohua who hit me! With such a thick wooden stick, I hurt internally, and she has to pay for it!"

Aunt Yu: "We all saw it, you were the one who rushed over to beat the peach blossoms first! She didn't fight back and waited to die? That's a pine clothes hammer. Only if you bleed!"

Tian Xianglan refused to accept it, and looked at Aunt Liang again: "Aunt Liang, you can testify for me, it was Meng Taohua who hit me first!"

Aunt Liang is the aunt of the Liang Tiezhutang clan, but she wished she could not have anything to do with the Tian family, not to mention that Tian Xianglan married into the Liang family, and there was a lot of rebellion, and there was a reason why she couldn't even find a place to live. Aunt Liang said loudly:
"Don't call me aunt, I'm blind and I can't see anything! Old Liang's family has been unlucky for eight lifetimes. Why did you marry such a naughty wife? When you first entered the door, you didn't pay attention to your in-laws and scolded chickens all the time. Beating the dog, what is this wicked woman doing here? If you are a vicious prodigal, Tie Zhu should just run away!"

Tian Xianglan looked at Luo Lihua again. The latter focused on washing while facing the river, leaving only the back of her head. Even Zhao Liulian stopped making noise, and honestly took her bamboo basket to a place five or six steps away from Meng Tao and the others. Downstream, I took a stone and started washing clothes.

Tian Xianglan could only swallow her anger, and got up in disgrace and went to Zhao Liulian. If Aunt Yu was not here, she would definitely not let it go. Aunt Yu is the daughter-in-law of Captain Bao, and she dared not offend her.

Before leaving, he gave Meng Tao a vicious look.

Meng Tao said, "Stare again, and I'll goug your eyeballs! If you dare to call 'bad guy' in front of me in the future, I'll peel you off!"

Tian Xianglan: "..."

She wanted to curse back, but Aunt Yu stared at her.

Everyone was busy, no more talking and laughing, the riverside was quiet for a while, except for the sound of beating clothes.

Unexpectedly, there was a commotion downstream again. I saw Tian Xianglan, her two eldest daughters, and Zhao Liulian jumping into the river suddenly one by one, forming a circle, getting into the water and quickly standing up, flickering east and west Constantly thumping and screaming...it was almost like being possessed by an evil spirit.

Aunt Yu's mother and daughter, Aunt Liang and Luo Lihua were dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

Meng Tao vaguely knew what was going on.

When Aunt Yu and the others came down just now, she put the two buckets of fish into the space, and there were some cabbage residues in the bamboo basket, so she threw it into the river, which may have attracted big fish lurking on the downstream bank, or swimming by. There, Tian Xianglan and the others saw it and wanted to capture it.

Luo Lihua also understood now, and turned to Aunt Liang and Aunt Yu and said, "They are catching fish!"

Aunt Liang cursed angrily: "Dreams are shit! The fish in the river are so easy to catch, who wants to earn money to buy meat? Tian Xianglan is going crazy on her own, don't bring the little ones down!"

Aunt Yu didn't even bother to say anything, she just washed her clothes. Anyway, most of the adults and children in Linshui Village knew how to use water, and it was the season of dry water, so the current was not rushing, and no one would be drowned.

Tian Xianglan and Zhao Liulian took the two girls in the water for a while without catching anything, and finally went ashore crying and shouting, and went home without washing their clothes.

The cotton clothes are soaked, and if you don't go home and change, you will die of cold.
