Having rejected Li Guangda's invitation to go together, An Hongdou now just wanted to go home and change clothes.
When they were in the mountains, they either hunted wild wolves or wild boars, and carried Shen Xiangzhi on her back for a long distance. She didn't feel cold even without a cotton jacket.
But after coming down the mountain, the slight breeze made her so cold that she almost had snot bubbles.
Li Guangda also looked at An Hongdou disapprovingly, "Niece Hongdou, although you are strong and healthy, you still need to wear more clothes when you go out in the future. Don't rely on your youth to freeze yourself. Otherwise, when you are a little older, you will know that the old cold legs will be very uncomfortable..."
"I understand. Thanks for the reminder, Uncle Li. I'll go home first." An Hongdou twitched her lips and turned away.
When I got home, I just saw Brother An Si holding something in his hand and about to go out.
She quickly asked, "Fourth brother, where are you going?"
"Go and send some medicine to your brother-in-law. I don't know how he injured his foot, but half of his toe cap is broken off. I asked him what happened but he wouldn't tell me. This is the medicine you got from the town last time you broke your fingernail out of mischief. It's been a year or two, and I don't know if it's still useful. I'll send him some medicine to bandage it first." said Fourth Brother An.
An Hongdou suddenly felt a little guilty.
Looking at the medicine in Fourth Brother An's hand, An Hongdou reached out and took it, saying, "Don't use it after such a long time. I got some medicine from the hospital last time. Wait for me, I'll go back to the room and get it."
Back in the room, Mrs. An was sewing shoe soles. An Hongdou said, "Mom, we brought back seven wolves and a wild boar from the mountains this time. Shen Xiangzhi and I killed all seven wolves. I guess the villagers are all waiting under the big locust tree to divide the meat. Why don't you go?"
"What?" Mrs. An put down her work instantly, stood up and walked away while saying, "Then I must go. My daughter and son-in-law beat them, so we have to choose first."
"Mom, it's okay if you don't have enough meat, but don't forget to bring back a wolf skin." There were sixteen wolf skins and wolf meat in her space, but she lacked a cover so that she could bring them out in the open.
"I got it." Old Mrs. An shouted. She didn't even have time to care why her own daughter was not wearing a cotton jacket. She called her three daughters-in-law and went out.
When no one was in the room, An Hongdou took out a small bottle of Yunnan Baiyao from the space without any disguise, poured out all the medicine and wrapped it in paper, then took out a box of anti-inflammatory medicine, opened it, and wrapped it in white paper as well, then walked out and handed it to An Sige, "Si Ge, let him apply this packet of powder on the wound, and as for the pills, take two at a time, twice a day is enough."
Brother An nodded, took the medicine and said to An Hongdou, "Little sister, go back to the room and put on some clothes. It's very cold."
He had just seen An Hongdou on the mountain without her cotton-padded jacket, but at least she was wearing a small jacket underneath. He wanted to give her his cotton-padded jacket, but he was so miserable that he didn't even have a small jacket. If he took off the cotton-padded jacket, he would only be left with a shirt underneath, and she would probably be frozen into an ice stick if she wore it.
An Hongdou nodded, "I understand, you can go quickly."
An Hongdou returned to the room, found a cotton jacket with several patches on it from the bedside table, and simply put it on.
This is still Mrs. An's clothes.
She only had one cotton jacket, and she didn't even have a change of it, and it had already been scrapped in the mountains.
There was no way. Her situation was still considered good. In those days, you needed cloth coupons to buy cloth, and cotton coupons to buy cotton. All the produce from the fields had to be handed over to the government. Life was really difficult.
No way.
She had to find a way to get some cloth and cotton.
Otherwise, if you continue like this, even if you take a shower frequently, you will probably get lice if you keep wearing the same clothes like this for the whole winter.
Thinking about this, An Hongdou called out to the outside, "Changyue, are you home?"
"I'm here. Is there anything you want to talk to me about, aunt?" An Changyue's voice came from the next room.
"Go and boil some water for me to take a bath." An Hongdou said.
"Alas." An Changyue responded.
Taking advantage of this time, An Hongdou sat there, his consciousness sinking into the space, and skinned all the sixteen wolves in the space. Together with the twelve goats from last time and some wild animals he had caught in the mountains during this period, he had a whole pile of meat.
He sighed, frustrated with his poor cooking skills.
It would be great if she had good cooking skills, and could make whatever she wanted, instead of having to just sigh at the sight of meat.
An Hongdou didn't know what was wrong with her. She was nimble and strong when fighting zombies, but she was helpless when it came to the kitchen.
Same dish, same steps, but the one she made wasn't as delicious as others, which was frustrating enough.
While An Changyue was boiling the water, she had almost finished everything. When An Changyue called her, she walked into the kitchen, carried the water to the bathroom and poured it into the bathtub.
An Changyue was still boiling water outside.
It is too cold in winter to take a bath. In addition, rural girls generally have long hair, which makes washing more water-consuming.
When she was halfway through washing, An Changyue asked her, "Aunt, do you want to wash your hair? Do you want me to bring you some alkaline noodles?"
There was no shampoo at that time, so they used alkaline powder to remove oil when washing their hair.
An Hongdou quickly refused, "No thanks."
The shampoo stored in her space would not be enough to use up in her lifetime, and it was even more unimaginable what it would feel like to wash her hair with alkaline flour!
As An Hongdou was thinking about it, the hair of the three girls in her family appeared in her mind.
They are all dry, yellow and frizzy, and because it's cold and I don't wash them often, they look like weeds.
The boys are better off, they all have a buzz cut, and the younger ones are even bald, which is easier to take care of.
When An Hongdou first came here, her hair was dry, yellow and frizzy. After she took care of it over the past two months, it now looks a little more normal.
After An Hongdou finished washing, she poured out the water. When she came out, she heard An Changyue say that she also wanted to wash, so An Hongdou went over to boil water for her.
Looking at the firewood burning under the pot, An Hongdou walked to the main room, took out a wine bottle that they had emptied yesterday from under the table, washed it with water, and then took out a bottle of shampoo from the space and secretly poured it in.
When delivering water to An Changyue, An Hongdou handed her the shampoo in her hand and said, "This is made from soap beans I found on the mountain. I also added some other things to it. It will make your hair cleaner and your hair quality will gradually improve. Just keep it for yourself and don't show it to others."
As the younger generations in the family respect her, An Hongdou naturally loves them too.
But the sisters-in-law all have their own thoughts, and An Hongdou is not stupid, and she is very open-hearted to them.
