Chen Suwen, possessing the 'healing,' 'wood,' and 'fire' elemental abilities, is a hot-tempered and shrewish individual. She unexpectedly transmigrates into the persona of a...
Tan Xiaojuan and Huang Xiufang both agreed with Chen Suwen, especially Tan Xiaojuan.
She has now shared her household chores with other people, such as her husband, daughter, and son.
It doesn't matter that the eldest son isn't home, we still have our daughter and youngest son, right?
When her husband isn't busy with work, he can help her with chores.
For example, he has to do some of the work that requires physical strength.
Along the way, Tan Xiaojuan and Huang Xiufang asked Chen Suwen for tips on how to get family members to do chores and how to get along with men.
Although they have been married for quite some time, they are still no match for Chen Suwen, who has more experience.
Zhou Ling listened with great interest and kept it in mind.
She knew very well how much her father listened to her mother at home; whatever her mother said, her father would do.
Moreover, her father never shirks housework; when her mother is unwell, her father will wash her clothes and cook for her.
Of course, after she and her younger sister grew up, they did most of the housework. Later, when her older brother got married, her sister-in-law would also share the housework.
At that time, her father did less housework.
But what her mother just said is that her older brother and younger brother are now doing housework?
Even her younger brother has already learned how to change and wash diapers?
"Sister Chen, you actually let your son wash the baby's diapers? Really?" Tan Xiaojuan was very surprised when she heard this.
You should know that she had three children. Changing and washing diapers was either done by her, her mother-in-law, or her own mother; her husband never did it.
I never expected that Chen Suwen's family would have her son do it?
Zhou Ling was also very curious.
Of course, when Zhou Ling's twins were very young and still needed to wear diapers, Song Che wasn't home, so he definitely hadn't done these chores before.
Her younger brother actually learned to do these chores?
“The child is his own. His wife went through so much hardship giving birth and couldn’t touch cold water during her postpartum period, so of course the brat should wash the diapers himself.”
"Although I am his mother and the child's grandmother, I can't take on all the work myself."
“They’ve all grown up, gotten married and had children. Do they still need me, their mother, to feed them? That’s impossible.”
Not to mention her youngest son, even her eldest son has to work.
Children also have to do chores now. For example, Zhou Xian and Zhou Mei, both five years old, have to do chores, and Zhao Lexin, a seven-year-old, also has to do chores.
In their family, if you don't work, you won't get any food.
What's wrong with the child?
So what if her husband and son both have jobs?
Everyone must honestly do their share of housework and not expect her to serve the whole family like a maid.
Listening to Chen Suwen's explanation of how she disciplined her family members, Tan Xiaojuan and Huang Xiufang both gave her a thumbs up and kept her words in mind.
"We're at the foot of the mountain now. Come on, everyone, apply this medicine so you won't have to worry about leeches biting you when you go up the mountain later." Chen Suwen took a bottle of medicine out of her basket and handed it to the others.
Leeches also exist in Yunnan Province. The leeches on the mountains are really rampant; you'll get bitten every time you go up the mountain.
Moreover, sometimes there is more than one leech biting your leg. The most important thing is that these leeches don't hurt at all when they bite you, so you don't even know when you've been bitten.
By the time you notice, the leeches might have already sucked their fill of blood and died, and you'll only realize it when your wound is bleeding profusely.
Sometimes, you don't even realize you've been bitten by a leech until the bleeding stops and the wound suddenly starts to itch. You might even end up feeding the leech.
Chen Suwen was sometimes very curious: in many historical fiction and farming novels, the protagonist often goes up the mountain. Is it really because there are no leeches?
Winter in the north is one thing, but what about the south?
In the South, there is no snow, whether it's winter or spring, so leeches won't freeze to death or hibernate.
Does this mean that leeches don't exist in novels?
She remembered that there were leeches in the north as well. There are many different kinds of these things. The varieties in the south and the north may be different, but they should also suck blood, right?
Anyway, Chen Suwen didn't want to be bitten by leeches, so she had to apply medicine when going up the mountain to prevent leeches and other insect bites.
"You two should also wipe yourselves down. And wear these two sachets so you don't have to worry about mosquito bites." Chen Suwen took out two sachets and put them on Song Chen and Song Qing.
Tan Xiaojuan and Huang Xiufang were applying medicine when they saw Chen Suwen putting sachets on her grandchildren and wanted some too.
"Sister Chen, do you still have this sachet? I can pay for it." Tan Xiaojuan really wanted it.
She definitely didn't just go up the mountain this time. Every time she went up the mountain before, the medicine she used was made by locals picking a wild fruit, crushing it, and soaking it in water to prevent leech bites.
But besides leeches, there are other insects on the mountain, and she was worried about what might happen if she accidentally got bitten by one.
Chen Suwen's sachet should be able to prevent any insect bites, right?
She really wanted it.
"I didn't make many of these sachets, I'll give them to you next time." Chen Suwen really didn't make many; one for each of her two grandsons, and one for herself and Zhou Ling, and that was it.
She didn't work on Tan Xiaojuan's and Huang Xiufang's.
"It's alright, it's alright. It's good that we have this medicine this time. You can give me more next time."
Tan Xiaojuan and Huang Xiufang were not in a hurry. It was good enough that they had avoided being bitten by leeches this time. It would be fine if they got the sachet next time.
After applying the medicine, everyone began their ascent up the mountain.
"Are there mushrooms on the mountain this season?" Chen Suwen was very curious, after all, she had never picked mushrooms on the mountain before and did not know what season mushrooms grew on the mountain.
