"Okay, let's all take a break. Jingxiu, you will have to be independent in the future, so you must work hard. If you have any problems, tell your brother or Xiaojin in time. You must work hard.
We all want to make a career here in the future."
Gu Jingqi and Lin Min were not worried. This boy had a cheerful personality and strong adaptability. If he could be admitted to university, he would definitely have a bright future.
Although Gu Jingxiu is down-to-earth, he is too introverted and not good at getting along with others. He needs to train himself well.
Gu Jingxiu nodded, "Sister-in-law, I will try my best."
"I'm going to do my homework." Gu Jingqi got up and went into the house.
Gu Jingxiu also planned to change clothes and go to work. "I'll wash our clothes in the afternoon. I'll be busy in the future and won't have time to take care of the house. When the weather gets warmer, I'll go to work."
I might as well buy a jar and make some rice water myself. In the future, when my brother drinks, we can have some rice water noodles, which is light. "
Making rice water?
When Lin Min heard this, she thought it was a good idea. Jiangshui noodles are a specialty of Qingshui County. They can quench thirst and relieve heat in the summer.
She grew up there and probably grew up eating rice noodles.
After coming to Bincheng, I don’t feel anything about winter. Now that the weather is warmer, I really miss the rice water.
"Jingxiu, do you want to make rice water?" Lin Min agreed, "Sure, we'll buy pots and vegetables this afternoon."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll wash the clothes first."
"Jingxiu, I'll wash our clothes, you don't have to worry about it."
Ever since Gu Jingxiu came here, she would wash and hang all of their clothes in the yard as soon as they took them off.
Lin Min felt really embarrassed about this.
She bought a washing machine, but Gu Jingxiu didn't use it much. She was just used to scrubbing.
"Sister-in-law, why are you being so polite to me? I'm just sitting around doing nothing, isn't it just washing a few pieces of clothes? Besides, we all have washing machines at home, didn't I wash clothes by hand when I was in my hometown?
We country folk are not that pampered. Don't spoil us all the time. The more you spoil us, the lazier we become."
After Gu Jingxiu finished speaking, he went into the house to change into the new clothes he was wearing today, and ran to the yard to move the washing machine to wash clothes.
Lin Min also followed to help fetch water, "Whoever marries our Jingxiu in the future will be blessed."
This girl is so virtuous.
"Sister-in-law, I'm still young, please don't keep asking questions like this."
Every time when the subject of dating was mentioned, Gu Jingxiu's face would unconsciously turn red.
Rural girls are always shy about these topics.
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more."
Lin Min helped fill the washing machine with water and put the clothes in.
She ran into the house again, stripped Gu Jingchuan's trousers from the sleeping body like a dead pig, and took out his suit.
The clothes that Gu Jingchuan was wearing were brand-name clothes that she bought for him. Lin Min didn't dare to wash them in the washing basin, so she put them in the washing basin and rubbed them with her hands.
Gu Jingxiu wanted to wash, but she didn't let him.
"Jingxiu, I'll wash your brother's clothes. If I'm busy in the future, you can help me share the work. Don't always rush to do the work."
"Sister-in-law, if you don't let me work, how can I stay at home?"
Doing housework and cooking, these are what Gu Jingxiu is good at and she enjoys them.
After washing the clothes, Gu Jingxiu had to run to the market to buy a barrel for making starch water.
There are four people in their family now. To use the rural slang, they are all strong laborers with big appetites.
Therefore, the jar for making rice water cannot be too small. It should be as big as a kimchi jar, and you can only eat it for a few meals.
Gu Jingxiu plans to buy a bigger jar.
Lin Min asked her how she transported it, and Gu Jingxiu thought about it and said she would carry it.
She originally wanted to ask Gu Jingqi to come with her to carry the baby, but she was afraid of disturbing Gu Jingqi from doing his homework.
When Lin Min heard what Gu Jingxiu said, she angrily glared at her and criticized her for being inflexible and destined to be a hard worker.
She went to Uncle Zhang's house and borrowed a small cart.
This is the tool Uncle Zhang bought for pushing coal in the winter.
Very convenient.
Lin Min borrowed a car and went to the vegetable market with Gu Jingxiu.
I spent ten dollars to buy a kimchi jar that was about ten centimeters in diameter and sixty centimeters high.
I also bought some mustard greens and cabbage for making rice wine.
Then I bought some fresh vegetables for cooking and pushed the cart home.
Then we started to make the starch water.
Lin Min can also do this job.
In the past, when she was in the Lin family, she was the one who made the rice water for the family.
The processing of rice water requires fermentation.
If you are in your hometown, when making rice water, you first make the rice water before putting some in the jar, then you don't need yeast.
However, in Bincheng, there is naturally no fresh rice water as the base, so we can only add some yeast to make steamed buns.
Ever since Gu Jingxiu came, she no longer bought steamed buns from outside. Instead, she bought a small steamer to steam the buns herself, so she has yeast at home.
At this moment, the two of them had a clear division of labor.
Lin Min was responsible for washing the newly bought tub.
Gu Jingxiu cuts and washes vegetables.
Wash and cut the mustard greens and cabbage, blanch them in boiling water, put them into a jar, mix them with a small amount of flour, ferment them with yeast, and then pour in boiling water.
The temperature is not very high now. In order to ferment as quickly as possible, you need to cover the tank with a quilt or something like that.
Two days later, when the lid was opened, there was a jar of fragrant rice water.
The rice water is pale white and slightly sour. It can be scooped out and drunk directly in summer. It is rich in nutrients and can relieve heat and quench thirst.
Making jiangshui dishes is also delicious. After sautéing jiangshui, sauerkraut and other onions in oil, pour them in, bring to a boil, and then add rolled noodles to make a bowl of authentic jiangshui noodles.
The two of them were busy for nearly an hour before they finished. They covered the vat with a thin blanket, and then it was time to make dinner.
Gu Jingqi said that he ate too much at the restaurant at noon and ate less at night. Gu Jingchuan is still unconscious in a deep sleep.
Lin Min suggested making some porridge.
When the porridge was ready, she called Gu Jingchuan, but he was snoring loudly.
I'm afraid even thunder won't wake him up.
Lin Min had no choice but to give up. She went out and sat with Gu Jingxiu and the others to drink the porridge, leaving some in the pot for Gu Jingchuan.
In the evening, when everything was done, she went home and finally had time to take out her bag of money, open it, and start counting the money.
She first counted the number of red envelopes and found there were eight.
Gu Jingchuan marked each red envelope.
He said that when the other party needs a gift in the future, he should return it double the amount.
Lin Min opened the one her uncle gave her, and as expected, there was a stack of big unity notes inside.
She counted it, ten thousand yuan!
My goodness, ordinary people earn several dou of that.
She counted the money Uncle Chen gave her again.
Twenty thousand yuan.
He is indeed a rich man.
My grandfather and uncle also gave two thousand yuan.
They are working class, and this is probably one pound of retirement savings for my grandfather.
Lin Min looked at the stack of money on the table and felt deeply touched.
It's not about the money, but about the love they have for her.
Lin Minxian knew that it was impossible for them to be so generous when giving red envelopes to others.
They gave her and Gu Jingchuan such a big red envelope to help them in this way.
