Chapter 20: Not All Are Created Equal
After lunch, needless to say, the work of washing the dishes also fell on Jiang Qinglime's head, and then Chen didn't know where to scavenge a stack of clothes and throw them in front of her.
"Give you half an hour to take these clothes to the edge of the pit and wash them, and then come back and follow your sister-in-law and sister-in-law to work in the field."
Is all this clothing trying to exhaust her?
"I don't wash."
Jiang Qingling had just come out of the kitchen and sat down on the kang to sew Yang Yanwu's clothes, when Chen came.
Put away the stitches and bite the thread with his teeth, then he met Chen's gaze lightly, and opened his mouth without saltiness, "I am the daughter-in-law of your Yang family who married into the door, not the slave bought by your Yang family." In other people's houses, the daughters-in-law of each room take turns to do the housework, but the clothes in each room are washed in each room. Of course, if my father's and mother's clothes were for my daughter-in-law, I would have no opinion, but I would not wash other people's clothes. ”
"If my mother has to let me wash it, my milk is old, I won't invite her old man to come over to call the shots for me, but I can get to the village chief's house to talk to him about it, and tell me who is the same as our Yang family, and let the daughter-in-law who has just entered the door do any work. If there is, I have no complaints. ”
The little has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth.
Chen's face was so angry that he stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiang Qinglime's face, his chest fluctuating heavily, "You...... You're such a good example! Okay, since you don't wash, then you wait for me. ”
Mourning star, the old lady has a way to rectify you.
Chan turned around and left.
The room was quiet, Yang Yanwen looked at Jiang Qingling and smiled lightly, "You just do what you want to do, don't force yourself." But don't hold on to everything, some things will actually be better if you leave them to me. ”
Chen's intention to embarrass Jiang Lime is very obvious.
For this, Yang Yanwen is naturally dissatisfied.
Just before Jiang Qingling refuted, he wanted to speak, but Jiang Qingling cut him off.
"The two of us are husband and wife, and it seems that we can't see our mother, and it's not the same for anyone to say. But ......" Speaking of this, Jiang Qinglime paused, glanced at Yang Yanwen, and sighed lightly, "That's it, don't say it." When the weather is hot, and it is not yet time to go to the ground, give me the clothes you want to wash, and I will wash them. Ah Wu, give me the clothes you want to wash. ”
"Go ahead, it'll be fine."
Jiang Qingliu looked at Yang Yanwu, Yang Yanwu was stunned, frowned, and quickly waved his hand at her, meaning that there was no need to bother her.
It's just a trivial matter, Jiang Qingling smiled at him and asked him to get it.
Seeing her insistence, Yang Yanwu turned his head to look at Yang Yanwen, and saw Yang Yanwen nodding at him, so he went out to get his clothes in his house.
After packing up a basin of clothes to be washed, Jiang Qinglime walked towards the pit at the east end of the village.
The big puddle covers an area of more than 40 acres, when the water is full, the deepest part is 17 or 8 meters, the rain is relatively less before the summer harvest, the water level of the puddle has dropped by half, but no matter where the water level drops, the water in the puddle is very clear.
Throughout the year, the clothes of the village are washed here.
Not only that, but when there is a lot of water, people will also come here to pan for wheat. Wash it a few times, then take it home and rinse it with clean well water and dry it.
Now that it is close to the busy farm, everyone goes to work in the fields early in the morning, and the time for laundry is crowded at noon, so there are many women around the pit.
