My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

Chapter 52 Chapter [-]: The need to take a bath and wash your hair

After the meal, several families gathered at Lao Xu's house to talk.

Talk about going to the city today to find work.

There are quite a few people coming to the city today, but only Xu Chunhe and others found the job of carrying big bales on the pier. They were as tired as pugs, and they only earned ten copper coins a day.

People see them as refugees and know that they are short of this job, so they deliberately lower their wages. Others can get [-] yuan, but when they come to them, they get half of it.

But there is no way, even if there are only ten copper coins, everyone has chosen to do it. If they don't do it, they won't even earn a single copper coin.

Just like the rest of them who didn't find a job today, it was a waste of a day, and they didn't get a single copper coin back.

The old man Xu heard what the big guy said, and he knew the situation, and immediately said: "Tomorrow, those who carry the big bags will go on, and the others will stay at home first. If you can get some firewood, you can do more, and go to the city to sell it." Let’s see if you can’t sell it left and right, we have to use it for ourselves, and I’ll go to the city tomorrow with me.”

Old man Zhou answered, "Are you looking for Chun He and his sister-in-law?"

Old man Xu nodded, "It's hard to find a job. I'll go find Anil and see if I can ask her for help."

When the other family members left, old man Xu also had a look of worry on his face, "We are in trouble now, and we don't know where to go, so we have to worry your sister-in-law."

Old man Xu's cousin, named Xu Ani, is ten years younger than old man Xu. When he got married, old man Xu had already married, and even the youngest daughter, Xu Chunxi, was born.

The oldest, Xu Chunhe, was eight or nine years old at that time, and he remembered things long ago, and now he can still recall the appearance of this little sister in his memory.

But in the past 20 years, Xu Chun's brothers are almost at the age of fathers and grandfathers, and my sister-in-law may not recognize them when they meet, so it is still necessary for old man Xu to go there in person.

Mrs. Xu continued, "Why don't I go? Anil is kissing me."

This is true, Xu Ani's mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to her, and her father passed away within two years. Xu Ani said she was a sister-in-law, but she was raised by Mrs. Xu like a daughter.

Old man Xu looked at her, "I am the eldest brother, can I still not kiss her? That's not the reason, I'm just afraid to feel it. Our natal family has never visited the door for so many years. This time, it's the first time I came to the door. To cause trouble, teasing her in-laws said."

"Anier is already a grandmother, how can she still be in control? If she can't be in charge, then she can't often send those things back, can she?"

Mrs. Xu muttered a few words, but she was also worried after all. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but said, "We have to buy something, right? We can't come to the door empty-handed."

Old man Xu nodded, "I have to buy it. Don't talk about it. It's the first time we go back. It's shameful to go empty-handed."

Ani'er has been married for so many years, and their natal family has never visited the door. When they come back here, they are empty-handed, which is also embarrassing for Ani'er.

At this moment, old man Xu couldn't help being grateful to Landlord Wang for buying his land and house, so that he could have some silver in his hands, like his uncle and his family, who couldn't get a tael of silver in their hands.

Because he was going to visit his relatives, the clothes he wore on the road to escape from the famine were obviously not decent. At this moment, the best clothes old man Xu specially let him bring came in handy.

Ask Ma Shi and Zhou Shi to take off the cotton-padded clothes and sew them into the clothes, looking clean.

But the clothes are clean, and the skin is so rough that it can’t be helped, but the hair that can be seen at a glance is messy and has lice crawling on it, and it stinks. People don't feel so good.

It's not decent to be a guest like this.

Seeing old man Xu's hesitant look, Xu Yinyin took advantage of the situation and asked Xu Dajun to come forward, let's take a shower and wash his hair!She's so bright, hurry up and wash one!

Not to mention that she was still running from famine, but now that she has settled down and there is no shortage of water, she can't stand her sloppy appearance for a day!

As for hiding behind his back and instigating his younger brother to come forward?

Of course!

The younger brother is the favorite of the two elders, and clamors for the whole family to take a bath and wash their hair, and the two elders will definitely agree.

If she stood up and yelled, the two elders would have dismissed her even if she knew it with her toes.

Xu Dajun stood up and said, sure enough, the old man Xu, who was hesitant to see the younger sister's family in this way, thought about it, and immediately agreed.

This is the benefit of having a younger brother, and Xu Yinyin has to admit that looking at her younger brother at the moment is quite pleasing to the eye.

If you haven't showered or washed your hair for a long time, it's a big project to wash it clean, and it won't work this late at night.

Therefore, old man Xu had no choice but to postpone the time of entering the city for a day. In the morning, only Xu Chunhe and others who carry big bags can enter the city. As for the others, they can go to collect firewood after cleaning. These.

It was not dawn on the second day, and the people who entered the city went into the city. After the old man Xu asked several other families, he arranged the people together, gathered the pots of several families, carried the water, and heated the fire. Everyone is busy boiling water.

There is a river downhill behind the place where they live, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to carry water back.

The strong woman also went to fetch water together, back and forth, and soon, the water from the first trip was boiled.

Coincidentally, there is still the sun today, and the sun is quite bright, and the firewood is burning around the hut, and it is not cold.

At the moment, take a bath and wash your hair one by one according to the order of the old and the young.

There is no shower gel and shampoo for showering and hair washing at the moment, and I use plant ash.

That's right, plant ash.

For a while, without looking at the acacia tree nearby, Mrs. Xu made a decision directly and asked her daughter-in-law to burn a lot of plant ash.Use whatever you want!Can be used!

Xu Yinyin looked at the plant ash, and felt that it was a bit difficult to wipe it on her body.

Zhang Xiulan, who had suffered so much, also frowned, "How do you wash it?" They lived a hard life in those days, and it was not as difficult to bathe and wash their hair with plant ash.

Xu Yinyin struggled for a while, but still couldn't accept it. She hasn't showered or washed her hair in the past few months. She feels that the dirt on her body can be washed in a basin. And this hair, which is full of lice, is mixed together. Use plant ash, which can be washed Is it clean?
Then look at the old lady Shi who came out of the first wash, the hair doesn't look clean at all, it's as if it hasn't been washed after washing.

Xu Yinyin couldn't bear it, she pulled Xu Dajun aside and muttered for a while, then took the chance of exchange and got a bottle of shampoo.

Shampoo can wash your hair, and you can also take a bath, so you don't have to use another chance to change the shower gel.

After a while, Xu Dajun came back with a small earthen jar, and said to old man Xu, "Master, this was given to me by my classmate before. They said it was brought back from Persia. It is precious. I have to There are not many, this is a good thing, it smells good when you wash your hair and take a bath, it is clean and easy to use!"
