Farmer girl with space for good farming

Chapter 17 The problem of taking a bath
"I know, I know." Mu Li said, saying yes, but in his heart he didn't think so.

The next moment, Mu Li watched in disbelief as her mother wiped out three grains of salt from the salt jar with her index finger and put them into the porridge.

So just put three grains of salt in a big pot of porridge?
It’s too little to fry a dish!

But Mu Li didn't dare to say anything less, because seeing her startled eyes, Sun started to stare at her again.

Just cooking porridge without cooking, the dinner is very fast, basically as soon as the salt is added, the dinner is ready, it is served in a very heavy and large ceramic basin, and it is served out of the house to eat.

The bowl she uses at home is also a heavy ceramic bowl, as big as an open palm, but it looks quite big, but in fact it is only four centimeters high. It can hold a lot of rice, but porridge, that's it.

Anyway, this big pot of porridge is an average of two bowls per person, three bowls for the main force, three bowls of porridge for a labor force like Mu Pai and Mu He, and two bowls for Sun and Mu Feng, and Mu Li and Mu Xiaozhi alone A bowl and a half.

It doesn't taste good, Mu Li thinks the porridge tastes worse than plain water, not to mention light, it also has a slightly bitter taste of wild vegetables, and this bitter taste covers up the delicious taste of wild mushrooms.

Anyway, Muli was not satisfied with this meal, but it was very satisfying to the others.

Although it is also not enough to eat, it is basically better to drink water and drink more than the half bowl of rice in the past.

After dinner, after clearing away the dishes, Mu Li had a headache again - there was no hot water to take a bath.

It's not that she can't boil water, in fact she is already boiling water now, but the water is not her share, the water is for the main force of her family, Mu Dae, Sun Shi, and Mu He.

A pot of water is used by three people, on average, each person only needs two scoops of hot water, mixed with some cold water to wipe the body, and it’s over. It’s impossible to take a bath like in the previous life with your head in the shower!
But now Mu Li doesn't even have hot water to wash her body.

Why doesn't she have hot water?First of all, Mrs. Sun is reluctant to part with firewood. Now is the busy farming season, and the family can't move the labor to chop firewood. Children like Mu Li and Mufeng can't collect much, so save as much as you can.

Secondly, she had already wiped her body last night, that is, she had taken a bath.

Rural people in the north don't have the word bathing every day. There are many people who take a bath every ten days and half a month.

But Mu Li couldn't stand it.

It's been several days since I've been here, I just took a shower yesterday, and I still wiped it with a little water. Well, she was lying on the bed before, and she didn't sweat, so the discomfort passed. up.

But she walked all afternoon this afternoon, and carried Mu Xiaozhi on her back for so long, and she sweated a lot, so she was not allowed to take a bath, oh no, to wipe her body.

"It's not those daughters of landlords, why should they be so clean!" Facing her resentful eyes, Sun said angrily.

She found that this daughter has changed a lot since she woke up from a coma for two days. She used to be more economical than her. Scolded and barely washed.

But now, not to mention wasting all the time, I also love to be clean, but when I sweat a little, I clamor for hot water to wipe my body.

Why wipe her body? She works in the fields all day and sweats every day, and she wipes her body every three days.

Mu Li couldn't help it, she couldn't beat Sun Shi, but it was impossible for her to listen to Sun Shi's words and take a bath every two or three days. If there was no hot water, she would use cold water.
