Lighthouse brand soap, alkaline soap, later commonly known as stinky soap.
Chemical products and industrial products are in particularly short supply nowadays. Lighthouse brand soap must be purchased with coupons, and each household can only be supplied with one soap per month.
Not many families in rural areas can afford this. This piece of soap was saved by Zeng You some time ago and asked his son to bring it back. Judging from the degree of wear and tear on the soap, it is obvious that he was not willing to use it.
Zeng Wangcai pondered for a moment, then took out a few bars of white soap from the space, removed the packaging, and scraped off the labels as usual.
No one in the countryside knows this, so you can use it with confidence.
"Zhang Xiuzhi, have you started washing?" Zeng Wangcai asked through the door.
"What are you doing?"
"Bring you some soap!"
"don't want!"
"Without soap, the fishy smell on your body cannot be washed off, and you will stink over time."
Crunch!
The door opened and the soap was taken in.
Haha, the little girl panicked...
While Zhang Xiuzhi was taking a shower, Zeng Youhuo's family of four came back together. In the front were the brothers Zeng Hu and Zeng Bao carrying guns, and Zeng Youhuo and his wife were behind.
"Second uncle, second aunt!"
"Wangcai, have you seen Xiuzhi?"
“I have seen it!”
"How is it? Do you like it? Hey, where is she?"
Second uncle, can you please not play the ball straight like this?
Zeng Wangcai chose to answer the last question: "She was taking a bath. She went fishing in the afternoon. She went into the water and caught a grass carp weighing three or four kilograms."
"Into the water again? This kid just won't stop. I told you there's no net, so it's hard to catch fish..."
"Dad, my sister-in-law caught the fish for my eldest brother. My eldest brother said he wanted to eat fish, so my sister-in-law went to catch the fish."
"Ahahaha, really?"
Damn it, Xiaobao, if you don’t speak, no one will think you are dumb.
Zeng Wangcai could see that Zhang Xiuzhi had completely conquered his second uncle's family.
Second Aunt didn't say much, she just said silently, "I'll go cook and stew the fish."
Zeng Wangcai said hurriedly, "Second Aunt, please stop working. I have prepared the meal. I think the staple food is not enough. I will cook another pot of steamed bread or porridge when the dishes are ready. My eldest and second aunts will be here soon."
"How can I let you cook for me, kid?" The second aunt turned around and scolded her eldest daughter, "You little bitch, you only know how to play all day long, and let your eldest brother cook for you..."
"Second Aunt, I have to make it. Sister Eel and Loach can't do it well."
"Mom, the braised mixed fish cooked by eldest brother is so delicious. He puts half a pound of oil, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, MSG, pepper powder..." the second sister Yinhuan said while counting on her fingers. She watched her eldest brother cook it.
Every time Zeng Yinhuan mentioned a seasoning, Zeng Youhuo and his wife's hearts trembled.
The couple looked at the new seasonings in the kitchen and the greasy braised fish in the pot, and were speechless. It was such a waste. It was totally unnecessary to have so many seasonings for a pot of fish. Even if they wanted to make it taste better, they could just give less.
It hurts, so much.
If it were a family that likes to take advantage, they would definitely not feel bad, because it is not their own money being spent. Zeng Youhuo and his wife feel bad because they treat Zeng Wangcai as their own family member.
"Wife, don't tell me when you go out. This is Wangcai's gift." Zeng Youhuo sighed, "Just tell him that these things are enough for a year and ask him not to buy more. Don't put the sugar in the kitchen. Put it away. When mother can't eat, melt it into water for her to drink. Put it here and I'm sure they'll make little tigers and little leopards for you."
Ma Ping nodded and put away the bowl of sugar and half a bag left by Zeng Wangcai.
Zeng Wangcai was fiddling with guns with Xiaohu and Xiaobao in the yard. The two brothers were thinking about tomorrow's hunting and were worried that their eldest brother would not have a gun, so they used their connections to get him an extra gun, and plenty of bullets.
The Type 53 is an imitation of the water-breathing rifle. There are many water-breathing rifles in the private sector nowadays. The appearance of the two is not very different, at least Zeng Wangcai cannot tell the difference.
This was the first time in Zeng Wangcai’s two lifetimes that he came into contact with a real gun. He couldn’t let it go. Guns, which were later called fair weapons, were not accessible to ordinary people.
"A five-round magazine, single shot, effective range of 400 meters. But brother, wild boars have thick skin and tough flesh, and we are not good at shooting, so don't shoot from a distance. It's no big deal if we scare the wild boar away, but if we piss off the beast and it rushes towards us, we will be in big trouble..."
"Don't worry, big brother will make sure I can hit the target!"
The three brothers discussed the guns and talked about tomorrow's operation for a while. In the house, Zhang Xiuzhi finished taking a shower and came out wearing clothes that were patched but clean, her hair still dripping with water.
"Sister Xiuzhi, you smell so good..." Xiaohuan said with her head raised after smelling the scent of soap.
The eldest sister Jinhuan went over and sniffed it: "Sister Xiuzhi, are you using the soap from home? No, the soap from home doesn't smell like this."
"Your eldest brother gave you the soap. Go ask him."
"Brother, what kind of soap does my sister Xiuzhi use?"
Here you are!
Zeng Wangcai walked into the house and took out several bars of soap on the table. He gave one to each of his three younger sisters and two younger brothers.
Zeng Hu took a sniff and was intoxicated: "What a nice smell, really nice, just like the smell of girls in the city."
"Brother, where did you buy this pancreas? I didn't see it when I came to the city."
“It’s made by foreigners, and ordinary stores don’t have it.”
Wow, a piece of pancreas, do you want a foreigner to make it?
Ma Ping took action and collected all the soaps, leaving one piece outside: "Xiao Hu and Xiao Bao, you two are not allowed to use this soap."
It's not that Ma Ping is stingy. As a mother, she has her considerations. This kind of rare thing cannot be bought with money. It's enough to use it yourself to try it out. If you use it all, it would be a real waste. This thing can play a big role in finding a marriage for her son in the future.
