It was sunny for a few days before the New Year, but the sun was only there for a few days.
This year there wasn't as much snow as last year. Instead, it kept drizzling, making the weather damp and cold, and the gloomy weather made people feel quite depressed.
If this rain continues until New Year's Eve, I'm afraid we won't even be able to set off firecrackers.
It was muddy, wet and cold, and people didn't like to go out, so as the 30th approached, the lively atmosphere of the New Year seemed to fade a little.
Wan Qingliu cursed: "What kind of horrible weather is this? My clothes won't dry in a long time!"
Although it is winter, people cannot stand not taking a bath. Three or five days is okay, but if it lasts longer, the whole body will inevitably itch.
However, after taking a shower, you inevitably need to change clothes. There is no shortage of clothes at home, so you don’t have to make do with just one set of clothes and continue wearing them after washing them.
As soon as the clothes are changed, the dirty clothes pile up. Although it is cold in winter, it is also very humid. If the clothes are left there without washing, they will get moldy even if they don’t smell.
But it is still wet after washing and needs to be hung out to dry. I can't hang it outside on this rainy day, and it won't dry for several days if I hang it indoors.
Putting it on the fire will easily burn the clothes.
There are so many people in the house that there is almost no room to hang clothes.
At this time, Wan Qingliu missed the dryers of the 21st century. If the clothes could not be dried, they could be dried in the dryer, which was convenient and saved trouble.
Technically speaking, it is not impossible to make this thing at that time, but firstly, productivity is insufficient, and secondly, ordinary people cannot afford it, so even the technology of our ancestors is of no help.
There was iron and wood in the space, so Hua Wanchi asked the puppet to make a few fire stools and use them.
This thing is everywhere in the local area. You can just find an excuse and say that you asked someone to do it, and no one will suspect anything.
The wind was howling outside, and inside the family members were leaning against the brazier, each with a fire stool, warming themselves by the fire, with a pile of clothes swaying above their heads.
Hua Xuguo roasted sweet potatoes and said with a smile: "Or just roast them over the fire, but be careful not to burn them."
Hua Wanchi has everything in his space. The bamboo house is still preserved, and he built a modern villa on another piece of land called Kuilei, which even has a dryer inside.
The main reason is that there are many people at home and it is too difficult to sneak clothes into the space to dry when no one is around.
However, Hua Xuguo's words gave Wan Qingliu inspiration.
Yes, she put the clothes away to warm them by the fire, but in reality, she just took them to the space to dry them! Drying them in the space would only take a few hours, but in reality, it would only take a few seconds at most.
So for the first time she didn't scold Hua Xuguo, but agreed with him.
"That's true. Wait till I gather the clothes and roast them one by one!"
As she spoke, she took down all the clothes and piled them together. In fact, she quietly put a few of them into the space. Anyway, there were a lot of clothes, and no one could tell that there were fewer clothes.
Hua Wanchi's consciousness sank into the space and he took the clothes to the dryer and started spinning them.
Wan Qingliu took the clothes to dry while sneaking into the space, then took out the dry ones and sneaked the wet ones back in. After a round like this, all the clothes were dry.
She said happily, "Fire dries things quickly!"
As soon as the clothes were dry, they were all put away. Without the clothes hanging on the head, the room suddenly became brighter and more spacious.
The old man asked, "Have you bought the couplets and the character for 'Fu'?"
Hua Qingping: "Dad, don't worry, the company has already given it to you, so you don't need to buy it! We even gave you a calendar this year!"
Hua Jingmin was also on holiday. He smiled and said, "Our unit also distributed calendars and couplets, as well as some meat coupons and two kilograms of apples."
This is the good thing about working in a company. Employee benefits will be distributed during festivals and holidays.
Hua Qingping chuckled and said, "Since Third Brother has received the gift, I will send the gift from school to my father-in-law's house!"
The old man nodded: "It's time to move around more."
Hua Qingping has a bicycle, and the trip only takes a day. The couple plans to go back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Fortunately, the rain that had been dripping for many days finally stopped on the day before New Year's Eve, and the sun came out the next day.
The sun came out and it was New Year's Eve. Early in the morning, the whole family boiled water for a bath, changed into new clothes to welcome the New Year!
Hua Aihua's family and Hua Wanli and her husband also came back, and Hua Wanli brought good news - she was pregnant!
The old man was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He was still looking forward to the arrival of grandchildren from the third generation, but he didn't expect that the fourth generation was coming!
Who wouldn’t be happy seeing their descendants coming out generation after generation?
Moreover, Fang Jianzhong also said that the child could have the surname Hua! The old man's heart was burning with excitement.
No matter whether it's a grandson or a granddaughter, as long as the surname is Hua, it means he is of the Hua family. If he has a boy, why would he need a grandson? A great-grandson is just as good!
In short, after everyone has taken a shower, one person from each family will be responsible for washing their own clothes. They should finish washing the clothes quickly so that they can prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner in the afternoon!
Hua Aihua happily picked up Hua Wanchi and coaxed him, "Chichi, do you miss your daddy?"
Hua Wanchi knows how to make adults happy.
So she said in as sweet a tone as possible: "I do! I have some chocolates, I'm saving them for my great-grandfather and my great-aunt!"
Su Qiuying directly instructed her three children to wash clothes, while she watched Hua Wanchi with a loving smile on her face.
She pinched Hua Wanchi's little face with a loving look:
"Our Chi Chi is fair and tender. She will definitely be a great beauty in the future!"
Zhou Yujiao, who was washing clothes nearby, said: ...
Just spoil her, it's really unbearable to watch.
Su Qiuying took the hand of Hua Wanchi, who was already wearing new clothes, and moved a small stool for her to sit down. She had already taken out a comb, rubber band and hairpins in her hands.
"Auntie, can you braid Chi Chi's hair?"
Hua Wanchi sat down nicely. If her aunt wanted to braid her hair, she could do it! Everyone was happy!
Hua Wanyan and her two younger brothers, who were washing clothes, had resentful expressions on their faces.
When their parents were at home, they still had some fatherly and motherly love, but once they returned to their hometown, they would go straight to Chi Bao and completely forget about them.
Who is the biological child after all?
If it was Hua Qingping who dared to ask his precious grandson to wash clothes, old Hua would have scolded him, but since this was the eldest son, old Hua pretended not to see it.
The boss must have his reasons for doing this.
Not only that, the old man said cheerfully: "Xiaocheng, Xiaoming, hurry up and wash, there is food in the house! You guys work harder, Yanyan will finish washing and then go in to eat!"
The two brothers Hua Yuancheng and Hua Yuanming were so exhausted from washing that they felt like they had lost all hope in life.
In the afternoon, it is time for everyone to process various ingredients.
First, we steamed some radish dumplings and served them to fill everyone's stomachs. The lunch was a bit simple, so no one might be full.
Then the smell of frying food wafted out of the kitchen, and the two brothers who had finished washing clothes ran directly to the stove.
The oil made a sizzling sound and golden meatballs were fished out in batches.
"Milk, milk! What are you cooking? It smells so good!"
"Fried meatballs, with some lard on the side. That little bowl is for you, take it and eat!"
"Okay!"
The two brothers were overjoyed and ran over to eat a big meal.
