Chapter 5 Something is so wrong!
The other people around looked at her, and Chen Miaomiao felt a little embarrassed and confused.
She hasn't done anything yet, how could Lu Miao hate her?
Even if she hated her, based on her understanding of Lu Miao, Lu Miao would never say such a thing!
Besides, Lu Miao should have slept in the same room with her...
Chen Miaomiao racked her brains but couldn't figure out why this happened. As she was struggling, she suddenly remembered the scene where Ren Bingxin spoke for Lu Miao just now.
In an instant, everything seemed to have an answer.
Ren Bingxin must have said something to Lu Miao!
Why didn’t she find Ren Bingxin so annoying in her previous life?
Chen Miaomiao was so angry that she was shaking. Seeing that Lu Miao and the other two had already walked away, but the eyes of the people around them were still focused on her, she pretended to raise her hand to rub the corner of her eyes, and ran into the room sobbing.
Liang Shao sat on the steps at the door, looking vaguely ahead:
"Lu Zhiqing may be good-looking, but why is he so vicious?"
Yu Hao stood on tiptoe, looking at Lu Miao across the pond through the shadows of the trees. Hearing this, he made an unhappy "tsk" sound.
"How is it poisonous? This is direct, okay? And you're not familiar with it. Can you handle it if it's you?"
Liang Shao shook his head. This was indeed the case.
He and Yu Hao were from the same hometown, so they could understand each other's dialect and chat for a while. If it was someone else, like the guy named Xie Fei, Liang Shao really would feel like he couldn't keep in touch.
In order to make it easier for members to wash clothes, a very long and flat stone slab was laid on the edge of the pond, so that three or five people could squat on it at a time without any problem.
Gu Ying took off her shoes and stepped onto the stone slab first. She scooped up some water and rinsed the stone slab. After she set up the washboard, she asked Lu Miao to bring the basin over.
Seeing Lu Miao and Ren Bingxin about to step onto the stone slab with their shoes on, she hurriedly said:
"You two should take off your shoes when you come up here. It's easy to slip on shoes."
Lu Miao sat on the shore and took off his shoes.
From the shore to the stone slab, one has to go down a small slope, and there are small stones along the way. Her feet curled up restlessly, and she stepped on them tentatively on tiptoe. It felt very prickly, so she put on her shoes and wore them as slippers. She only took her feet out and stepped on the stone slab when she reached the water.
There are fine yellow lines in the middle of the blue stone slab, and the deep color forms a sharp contrast with Lu Miao's snow-white feet.
At first, he felt a little uncomfortable. As the stone slab at the back became completely wet, the matte texture faded a little. Lu Miao felt quite comfortable walking on it barefoot.
Gu Ying fished out the dirty clothes, poured out the water in the basin, rinsed them, and then pressed the dirty clothes into the water twice to soak. She fished out the clothes and pressed them on the washboard. "You know what a washboard is, right?"
Lu Miao nodded hesitantly.
She knew about kneeling on a washboard, but this was the first time she had seen a real washboard.
Gu Ying shook her head helplessly, lifted up her muddy trouser legs and rubbed them while saying:
"Washing clothes is like this. If they're not particularly dirty, you don't need to rub them too hard, and you don't need to wash them too often. Clothes will get damaged if you wash them too much."
"It's so dirty, can it really be washed clean?" Lu Miao frowned. Remembering that she brought soap, she quickly took it out and handed it to Gu Ying, "Why don't you try this?"
Ren Bingxin jokingly said, "Gu Zhiqing is teaching you how to wash clothes. So, are you really expecting her to do it for you?"
Lu Miao thought about it and agreed, and quickly moved the clothes and washboard to his side.
She put soap on the clothes and rubbed them in the same way as Gu Ying, but she was not as smooth as Gu Ying.
It was true that some foam was rubbed out, but the skin on the joints of her index finger and ring finger was also scratched by the washboard, and it hurt a lot when they got on her hands with soapy water.
Lu Miao's delicate face became stern, the corners of her lips drooped slightly as she took two breaths. If Gu Ying and Ren Bingxin hadn't been there, she really wanted to throw the clothes into the water!
"You're using the wrong strength..."
Gu Ying didn't expect that when Lu Miao said he couldn't wash clothes, he really didn't know how to do it at all.
The scene was awkward for a moment, and Ren Bingxin chuckled and suggested:
"How about trying my method?"
Lu Miao and Gu Ying both looked at Ren Bingxin, the difference was that one was frowning and pouting, while the other had a helpless look on her face.
Ren Bingxin took off her shoes and stepped onto the stone slab. She picked up the soap beside her and rubbed it on her clothes twice. Then she splashed some water to wet the clothes a little more. She lifted her trouser legs and stepped on it.
It wasn't enough to just step on it, there was another round of rapid stomping of the feet.
You know what, the black water and foam that came out from stepping on it were much more than what Lu Miao had rubbed out just now.
Lu Miao's lychee eyes lit up in an instant, "I think it's okay!"
Gu Ying scratched her head. She had never been so speechless before. She felt like she was about to be impressed by Lu Miao and Ren Bingxin.
After washing the clothes and walking back, Ren Bingxin asked Lu Miao proudly:
"So what? Washing clothes isn't that hard, right?"
Lu Miao nodded happily: "It's quite simple, next time we can wash clothes together!"
"Okay, hahaha!"
Walking in front with the washboard in her hand, listening to the laughter and playing sounds behind her, Gu Ying felt helpless, but she couldn't help but smile.
Life has been boring and dull for too long, so it’s nice to suddenly add some bright colors.
So enviable...
The newly arrived group of educated youth had not yet gone to the team to collect their advance rations, but precisely because they had just arrived, there was still more or less rations in their luggage, so they did not go hungry for dinner that day.
In the same room, Ren Bingxin brought some noodles and steamed corn bread. In comparison, Lu Miao's suitcase was richer. Apart from two sets of clothes and sheets, every other corner was filled with food and daily necessities.
For example, there were two cans of malted milk, two bags of peach cakes, some fruit candies, a small bag of melon seeds and peanuts, and a glass bottle with a screw cap. Under the candlelight, you could see white powder inside.
Lu Miao opened it and smelled it, it was milk powder.
Lu Miao had never deliberately learned about this period of history, but he roughly knew that during this period, all kinds of supplies were in short supply.
Having lived a wealthy life since childhood, Lu Miao didn't really have any idea what was in the box. But when she was counting the things in the box, she heard constant gasps around her, and she probably guessed that the things in the box were all good things.
If this is the case, given the extreme gap between the rich and the poor, it would be difficult to bring these things out so openly.
Because there is a saying?
Don't show off your wealth.
There was still money in the small pocket of the bamboo box. Lu Miao locked the box and temporarily gave up the idea of counting the money.
Someone blew out the candle and the room fell into darkness.
Lu Miao tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, and Ren Bingxin was probably the same.
In order to take care of the two newcomers, Gu Ying and another old educated youth, Yang Xiaojing, chatted casually about the embarrassing events in the village.
Lu Miao listened very carefully, and occasionally he would laugh out loud.
Although the living environment is not very acceptable, the people around him and the things happening are still interesting so far, which is probably good news for Lu Miao.
Because of these new and interesting things, she felt that time was not so unbearable.
