Chapter 8 Although You Can’t Make Big Money Yet, You Will Save

A water ladle made of gourd ladles, scoop out a large basin of water with each ladle.

Mrs. Xu asked her granddaughter to take a bath first. After her granddaughter finished washing, she planned to use the rest of the water to wash.

Although there is no shortage of water or even floods here, but there is no well in the yard of her house, and there are only six "private" wells in the whole village.

Because it is expensive, according to my memory, it costs five taels of silver to drill a well at the price of the previous two years.

Her family lives in the east of the village, and it takes a long walk to carry water.

Yes, it is estimated that the bus station is so far away in our modern society, so we have to save some water, mainly because we can’t afford it.All rely on the daughter-in-law to carry water.

Thanks to the Xu family who got a large tank when they were separated, the second son of the family was also very handy and made a lot of wooden basins to store water.Otherwise, there is something to choose and nowhere to save.

The plan was very good, but Mrs. Xu felt that she only had to go out and insert the door, and then went to the wing room to take a few bags of food out in the sun and put them in the yard to dry, then turned around and went into the house to look at the granddaughter's bath water "... "She seemed out of control.

Xu Tianxin was also a little embarrassed. She hadn't rubbed it with a loofah, but just wiped it with the palm of her hand, and a layer of black mud came off.

Mrs. Xu picked up the loofah and rubbed her granddaughter's back: "It seems that this family doesn't take a bath all year round."

Or memory is not reliable.

In Mrs. Xu's memory, their old Xu's family already belonged to Aimei, and it belonged to a very clean family in the village.If it was any cleaner, people would say that we are poor and particular, but I didn't expect it to be this dirty.

Xu Tianxin was a little lucky: "Fortunately, grandma Xu really cares about face. She doesn't want people to know that she often eats elm noodles at home. She always tells everyone to shave their hair with a comb so that there are not so many lice. If there are more lice, it will be more troublesome."

The care of face here has nothing to do with cleanliness, but there is an old saying here that a poor man has lice on his head, and a rich man has fleas in his home.

Originally, Grandma Xu didn't want people to know that her family was really poor, so she often told everyone to catch lice if there was nothing to do.At the very least, don't crawl over your head when the two of you are talking.

As for the reason for this conclusion, Xu Tianxin speculates that it should be caused by unbalanced nutrition, or the single oil produced by simple tea and light food is the reason for the growth of lice.There are many lice, doesn't it mean that the food at home is poor.The large number of fleas indicates that the family has a large number of livestock.

In my impression, she has a little sister named Mai Miao in this village. Although she is only in her early ten years old, she can know a lot of gossip from various families to share with her.

I once chatted with her, saying that there are boys with strong vanity who will deliberately catch fleas and put them on their bodies. In this case, they will see girls or go out to make friends with people, trying to make the other party misunderstand that he has a lot of livestock at home. Condition is good.Anyway, it can play a role in making people look high.There are several young people like this in their village.It should be like modern men who like luxury cars very much, and deep down in their hearts, they also envy people who have cattle, sheep, pigs and even horses at home, so they deliberately catch fleas and put them on their bodies.

Xu Tianxin didn't wash it thoroughly, she felt that she couldn't wash it all at once, so she quickly put on her clothes after rubbing and drying, and carried the bath water to the backyard with her grandma.

Scoop out some ash bath water, and pour the roots under the big trees separately.

The Xu family's backyard is still very big. It should be said that every family here has a big backyard.

If you can't afford too much land, you have to have a big garden, and plant the vegetable garden like a field.

That's why Mrs. Xu couldn't go outside to complain that her house was too far away from the place where the water was fetched, people would think it was hypocritical, and it was only a few houses away from the well.

At this time, in addition to planting a lot of potatoes, sweet potatoes, autumn cabbage, radishes, winter melons and horned melons, four large trees were scattered around the corners of Xu's garden.

Among them are two trees called Mali Geda, which are very hard and resistant to fire.

The Xu family didn't plant it for fire, but the second uncle Xu Youliang taught himself some carpentry skills. When he was free, he would use this tree to make pipes for his grandma to take to the market to sell.

It is the old-fashioned pipe for smoking dry tobacco, which is specially made of this kind of tree to make it look good and not crack.

There is also a jujube tree. The jujube tree was planted late. According to Xu Tianxin's visual inspection, the diameter of the jujube tree is only more than ten centimeters.Here, if a peasant girl gets married, if anyone is willing to make a bed out of jujube trees as a dowry, it is equivalent to giving 30 yuan to a daughter with an average modern economic condition.It is conceivable that this is an act of digging out money.

And the year when the jujube tree was planted was the year when Xu Tianxin's father was confiscated.

At that time, the uncles were not very old, and the oldest second uncle was only 14 years old.

Eldest brother Xu Youtian planted the tree with his own hands, and told his younger brothers before leaving that he left it for his daughter.If you die and come back, remember to cut down this tree to make a bed when Tian Xin gets married and take it to her husband's house.

So at this time, when grandma was watering the jujube tree, she patted the trunk of the jujube tree and said a few words: "Okay, what the hell, we are still alive, if we didn't die, it means that we are still there, don't blame, alas .” In fact, compared with modern times, this place is full of hard-working people.

How can there be such a thing in modern times.The key point is that I haven't eaten anything yet, just eat the little rice in a small wooden bucket half an arm high, and the vegetables and granddaughter will be gone after eating an elbow.

Xu Tianxin had just taken a shower and her hair was half-dry, so she was a little cold, but when she heard that there was an evil wind blowing, she became even colder.What happened to being a doctor before?Being a doctor is also afraid of death. Her modern best friend, the surgeon, would drag her to the bathroom with her when she went to the funeral parlor.

And the reason why she hesitated to choose dermatology or anorectal department was because the mortality rate was low, only fluctuating around [-]%. If there is a severe case, the general department will pay attention to it. If a death occurs, I can’t wait to be on the local news. With the word "shock".Besides, she has also experienced time travel, and she will have more or less faith in her heart in the future.

As for the last tree of Xu's family, it was planted next to the hut, and it was also Xu Tianxin's rarest tree called arborvitae.

This arborvitae leaf can be used to wash hair, and it can treat hair loss due to blood heat, and it can also grow hair and black hair.Occasionally soaking in water and drinking it can also relieve cough and reduce phlegm.In addition, in the eyes of Dr. Xu, it is also good to drink bloody stools with arborvitae leaf tea, but not drinking too much will damage the digestive system.Just like she washed her hair and used plant ash to filter the water, she also used arborvitae leaves.

"Grandma, do you have any water left to irrigate the garden?"

"Still watering? It's even more waterlogged. It's been sunny for two days, and every time I step on it, there's a lot of mud."

Mrs. Xu looked at the sweet potatoes and potatoes with distress and distress, and she relied on these two to feed her hunger.I don't know if it will smell like rotten sweet potatoes if I dig it out and cook it for a while.

But even this is better than the potatoes and sweet potatoes grown on the five acres of wasteland beside the mountain.

The potatoes and sweet potatoes in the garden were planted at different times from those in the wasteland, and they escaped the heavy rain at that time.In my memory, most of the dug up sweet potato seedlings planted in the wasteland at that time were rotten, and the adult plants with a height of 40 work points were pulled out of the ground with a light pull, and the roots were soaked and broken.At that time, many people in the village slapped their thighs and cried in unison. Don't they want to kill people?

Mrs. Xu checked the other things. Fortunately, there were a lot of cabbages that could not be drowned in the garden, and it couldn’t rain vigorously because of the high demand for water. Be strong, I have to accept it later.

Tianqing has too much work to do, including pickling vegetables, harvesting vegetables, and cellars.

Mrs. Xu was thinking about one thing, and at the same time directed her granddaughter to fetch all the slop buckets from the house. She would use this bath water to scrub the buckets, and no water should be wasted.Brush out the most broken wooden bucket and put it next to the hut, and use it to wash your hands after going to the toilet.

Mrs. Xu thought to herself: You can't even mention going to the toilet, or you won't be able to eat.If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you the last one later, it’s old.So when she is in charge of the house, she has to provide a bucket for the hut. At the very least, she must wash her hands when she comes out of it, and then go to the dining table to get dishes and chopsticks.

"Hurry up, we can't dawdle anymore, I don't take a bath, just simply wipe my body with a cloth, you can just rub your back and neck with milk to relieve itching, let's start the broadcast."

"Ah?" Xu Tianxin was a little surprised: "Is it still on the air today? What is it?"

"It takes a day to live in the pastoral life."

Mrs. Xu already has a plan, and her second session focuses on decompression, working from sunrise to sunset, so that modern children can watch them do it, and they can't help but feel exhausted after a day's work.

Xu Tianxin thought for a moment that Grandma had a good idea, so she went to remove the quilt cover, scrubbed all the quilt covers and mats at home while the weather was fine, and then wiped the pots and tables well, doing housework while live broadcasting with grandma without delay.

Grandma Xu slapped her hands in the direction of her granddaughter and read the password: "The God of Wealth lives in my house", and the broadcast started, followed by a toss of hair.

So when the opening effect of the second broadcast came up, the people who had just entered the live broadcast room were startled, thinking that Sadako had arrived.

"Family, it's rare to see my hair so long. I want to show you my three thousand strands of trouble, reaching down to the hollow of my leg."
