“My mom used to like washing like this,” Xie Zhuo said. “She said it cleans the clothes this way.”
“Oh,” Xu Yan nodded.
Xie Zhuo glanced at her a few more times and noticed that she seemed a little absent-minded. He wanted to ask her something, but Da Bao and Xiao Bao were frowning because they had grabbed some bayberries from the basin and found them too salty, so they went to grab some from the basket.
Xie Zhuo quickly poured out the water in the basin, rinsed it several times with clean water, and then filled each of them with half a bowl of water in a small bowl.
I had no chance to ask the question after being interrupted like that.
Liu Mancang and Zhao Jisheng were eager to go up the mountain, so they hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food and ran over, their baskets filled with hunting gear.
Qingping County has not explicitly prohibited villagers from hunting in the mountains.
The Qingshan Production Brigade has always turned a blind eye to this matter. As long as you have the ability to get in and out, then you can go.

"Third sister-in-law, you don't know how skilled Third Brother is," Liu Mancang immediately replied upon hearing Xu Yan's words, "Third Brother's slingshot accuracy, if not 100%, is at least 100 paces and 100 mph!"
"You're good at using idioms," Xie Zhuo glanced at him, then looked at Xu Yan, "It's okay, we won't go too deep."
Xu Yan's expression was still not very good.
"I'll be back before lunch," Xie Zhuo said. "I won't stay out too late."
