Chapter 124: Original Ecology and Naturalness (Page 2/2)
Fine grains are not expensive, and coarse grains are even cheaper, such as corn flour, sweet potato flour, and bean flour, which are all very cheap.
The family eats with other food, so even if she eats a lot, her family can afford it.
"Don't be restrained." Han Shiguo also said.
"Can your uncle and aunt still treat you, their niece, badly? You eat whatever is eaten at home. It's not right that we eat better while you eat worse. Then what are we? Really." Han's mother said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaozhen felt a little embarrassed, but seeing that her grandma had finished eating, she quickly took the dishes and washed them.
Jiang Qian followed in and told Zhang Xiaozhen about the use of soda ash for washing, and what each rag was used for, and how they were used separately for wiping the table and stove and for washing dishes.
Zhang Xiaozhen nodded, "Aunt, I've got it. If there are other things that need attention, please tell me and I'll write them down."
"Okay." Jiang Qian smiled.
This job was given to Zhang Xiaozhen, who cleaned the kitchen quickly and tidy.
I'm used to doing these chores at home.
When Han Shiguo took them to the bathhouse to take a bath, Jiang Qian also came in to take a look. The hygiene was very good, and the rags were used separately according to her requirements, and then put back and hung in their original places after use.
But the time is still short, and I don’t know whether I can stay or not. I have to wait and see.

Han Shiguo took his mother and niece out.
Naturally, he also met many military wives. When they greeted him, Han Shiguo would greet them again and introduce them to each other: "This is my mother, and this is my niece Zhang Xiaozhen."
Han's mother also exchanged a few pleasantries with the other party cheerfully. After watching the whole process, she couldn't help but praise in a low voice, "This place is really nice, don't you think so, Xiaozhen?"
"Yeah." Zhang Xiaozhen had been out of the village only a few times and had never been to the county town. The busiest place she had ever seen was the market. It was really the first time she saw such a nice place.
When they came to the bathhouse, Han Shiguo bought tickets for them and took them to buy them. Later, they could come and buy tickets to take a bath themselves.
More than an hour later, Han's mother Zhang Xiaozhen came back with Han Shiguo.
"Mom, is the bathhouse comfortable?" Jiang Qian said with a smile.
Mother Han couldn't help but praise: "It's comfortable, so comfortable. This is the first time I've taken such a comfortable bath at my age!"
"It's just too expensive. A bath ticket costs 30 cents." Zhang Xiaozhen also felt that it was really comfortable. She felt like she had peeled off a layer of skin after taking a bath.
But the bath ticket costs 30 cents, which is really too expensive.
That's true. Han's mother also thinks it's expensive. But you don't have to wash it every day. Just wash it a few times a month and clean it at home the rest of the time. It's not a big problem.
Zhang Xiaozhen took out the clothes to wash.
The faucet was very convenient to use. Jiang Qian taught her how to use soap to wash, and also taught her how to put on underwear. However, seeing that Zhang Xiaozhen was fifteen years old, she didn't have any underwear.
Zhang Xiaozhen was a little embarrassed, but Jiang Qian didn't show any contempt, and asked in a low voice: "Are you having sex?"
"Not yet." Zhang Xiaozhen has an older sister who is married, so she understands what it means to have trouble.
Jiang Qian knew that because the food they ate at that time was all original and natural, they were not like girls in later generations who would have their period at the age of eleven or twelve.
Some come as late as fifteen or sixteen years old.
"I'm going out with my aunt later. Last year at my sister-in-law's house, I asked my sister-in-law to make two sets for you to keep as a replacement. If you have your period in the future and don't know what to do, you can ask me or your grandma. Don't be embarrassed." Jiang Qian said in a gentle voice.
"Okay." Zhang Xiaozhen nodded.
