Through the seventy warm marriage

Chapter 91 Laundry

Speaking of the water source at this time, Lu Qingqing was also very helpless, tap water?That is impossible.

Most households use wells, and a well head is placed on the ground to press water. Press down with both hands, lift up, and press again, and water will come out.

People call this kind of well "foreign well", which seems to be slightly better. It is said that things imported from abroad will be labeled with the word "foreign", probably because they were passed down from the East.

For example, onions, foreign wells, foreign cars are also bicycles, and foreign fires, which are another name for matches, and some people call them "take lamps", which means to replace oil lamps.

Of course, there are also some people who use the old-fashioned wells, which are built into octagonal well platforms. When using water, a bucket is tied down with a rope and then lifted up. A relatively labor-saving.

However, the "foreign well" is more convenient, and it is still not as convenient as tap water. Lu Qingqing finds it very troublesome to bring water up every time.

"I'll go with you too." She wanted to go to the river to see how people wash clothes.

With Yang Xiuying in front and Lu Qingqing in the back, they came to the river. There is a section of the river that is specially used for washing clothes. There are already three or four women squatting there, washing clothes.

Yang Xiuying took out the dirty clothes from the basin and put them on the ground nearby. There were two cylindrical and smooth mallets at the bottom of the basin for beating the clothes.

"His second aunt, come to do the laundry?" A woman called out.

Yang Xiuying turned her head and smiled: "Yes, you are all washing."

Several people were chatting one after another, but Lu Qingqing didn't participate, and helped to wet the clothes with the river water and put them on a big rock.

Yang Xiuying beat some soap locusts on the clothes, then folded them up and beat them with a mallet.

Lu Qingqing knew that clothes in this era were easier to wash, and people didn't have much greasy water when they usually ate, and when the clothes were dirty, they were stained with dust.

There are also some people who are lazy, or whose families are poor and have little clothes, and change their clothes every once in a while. Such clothes are more difficult to wash, and they look like armor, shiny and hard.

Not long after they arrived, another laundryman came. This time, Lu Qingqing met Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan took the initiative to greet everyone, and smiled at Lu Qingqing, then found a more convenient place, put down her clothes, and started to work.

Lu Qingqing happened to be next to her, looking at her lowered head profile, she thought this woman was pretty, she was a gentle and virtuous woman from her looks and her speech.

"Sister-in-law, where's Brother Changshun?" Lu Qingqing couldn't help but asked anyway.

Zhao Lan didn't think much about it, she pursed her lips and said, "I'm at home."

"Oh." It seems that no matter how nice a man is to a woman, in the context of this era, he is also cultivated into machismo.

No matter how tired two people are when they go out to work, even if women do no less than men, women are responsible for cooking and washing clothes when they come back.

I just don't know, what will Liu Changshun do when that woman really has a child? Will he divorce Zhao Lan, or just want a child?Is Zhao Lan willing to raise such a child?

Lu Qingqing didn't want to meddle in other people's business, and sometimes she was very angry. She felt that the women here were too miserable, and the effort was not proportional to the gain.

During this period of time, through understanding, she knew that there are many women who are very smart and beautiful.It's just that being born in such a place, no matter how many advantages there are, it's useless. The final destiny is to marry, have children, and work.

You have worked hard all your life, and there is no happiness to speak of when you are old.She didn't want to meddle too much, but she thought, within her ability, at least help them.
