This time, Tian Yuzhu finally saw through the character of Shi De and his wife.
She knew everything that happened last night and the whole process, including what the old lady told Shi De about Shi Xiaoli.
But later, she found out that her future father-in-law Shi De was not willing to teach Shi Xiaoli a lesson.
The old lady was right, Shi Xiaoli was both stupid and bad.
With this kind of educational method, Yang Dahua and his wife will be in big trouble in the future.
It was obvious that the old lady thought the same thing, but she was too lazy to mention it the next day.
She had more important things to do, so she asked Su Zhen to teach Yuzhu how to do things.
"Ah Zhen, first teach Yuzhu to boil water, add some water, and then teach her to wash clothes."
The old lady sat on the kang and gave orders.
This morning is busier than ever.
As soon as Su Zhen arrived, the two little ones followed in.
There were five people, big and small, in the cabin, and Su Zhen made a simple noodle dumpling soup for them.
After drinking a bowl of hot soup, I felt much warmer all over.
Next, she taught Tian Yuzhu how to wash clothes. She prepared a basin of warm water. As for what to wash, Su Zhen suggested, "Learn to wash your feet first."
Tian Yuzhu nodded: "Yeah!"
But how do you wash your feet?
You have to pretend you don't know.
She hasn't washed her feet since she came here. Firstly, there is not enough firewood in Old Lady Lu Huanying's house to boil water. Secondly, it is freezing cold and she spends almost the entire day on the kang, so there is no need to pay much attention to hygiene.
Su Zhen smiled good-naturedly: "Sister-in-law will teach you."
After saying this, he took off the old boots on her feet.
Wow, these socks are army green?
Confused, Su Zhen turned to look at the old lady, only to see her smiling warmly as she said, "Yes, Zhentang gave it to her."
"Hey! My second brother is really caring, and he hasn't even gotten married yet!" Su Zhen smiled embarrassedly. Don't look at this second brother as cold as a piece of iron, he really knows how to care for his wife.
"Then wash your socks first." Su Zhen happily taught Tian Yuzhu to take off her socks: "Yuzhu, wait a minute, I'll go get some soap nuts."
Soapberry fruit is a fruit that falls from a tree called soapberry in autumn.
Wet the whole fruit in water and rub it for a while, it will produce some foam similar to laundry detergent, and it also has its own fragrance.
It can not only wash clothes, but also wash hair.
As a person from the New World, Tian Yuzhu had never seen such fruit.
But it’s not difficult to learn, and she will be able to do it in a short while.
Soon, the army green socks were washed clean and hung by the fire to dry.
Then she used soapberry fruits to wash her slender feet, which were originally covered with frostbite.
I don’t know if it’s because the socks are warm, but the chilblains on her feet have almost healed. Now after washing and drying them with soap nuts, she feels much more comfortable.
After washing her socks and feet, Su Zhen thought about washing her hair.
The silly girl is pretty, but her hair is dirty and untidy.
And...the same basin was used.
...Tian Yuzhu closed her eyes silently...and washed.
After washing her hair, let her sit in front of the fire pit and don't move, so that she can get warm and not get cold.
Su Zhen took out the six rabbit skins and started leatherworking.
First flatten it with a wooden board, then clamp the board with a horizontal wooden stick, and tie the two ends tightly with straw ropes to prevent it from moving.
After the initial completion, it is hung on the wall and dried with the residual heat from the fire pit. The whole process takes about ten days. By then, rabbit leather boots and small hats can be made.
This process is not easy to learn. Although Su Zhen teaches very well, she does not expect the silly girl to be able to learn it.
But for Tian Yuzhu, she knew how to do it after just one look.
Once all this is done, the hair is dry.
Lu Huanying asked Tian Yuzhu to get on the kang. The old lady sat behind her and took out an ancient wooden comb from under the pillow to carefully comb her hair.
"Yuzhu has very good hair. It's thick, strong, black and shiny."
The old lady thought it was very beautiful and praised it happily.
"That's right, Yuzhu is pretty. We haven't seen such a pretty girl in this area." Su Zhen said sincerely.
Neither of them noticed that Tian Yuzhu looked at the wooden comb in the old lady's hand...
The finest ebony wood, solid one-piece carving material.
What a good thing! I didn’t expect the old lady to have such a thing.
An antique comb like this would be worth some money in the New World.
On the surface, Tian Yuzhu was just enjoying combing her hair silently, but in fact she estimated the price of the comb in her mind and felt confused at the same time.
Logically speaking, the old lady is just an ordinary person, where did she get such good things?
In his previous life, one of Mr. Tian's greatest interests was to study and collect all kinds of antiques. Since Tian Yuzhu was able to stay by his side, she naturally had a deep knowledge of antiques.
But at the moment, she certainly couldn't ask the old lady directly about the origin of the comb. She would have to wait and see if there would be a chance in the future!
At this moment, Lu Juanjuan suddenly walked into the hut: "Sister-in-law, grandma, you are at home!"
The wind and snow outside were getting stronger today. Shi Weiqiang injured his foot and was recuperating on the kang, while Shi De and his son Shi Weimin hurried to repair the door for the old lady.
At the other end of the kang in the outer room, Yang Dahua was doing needlework.
Shi Xiaoli went to the educated youth site early in the morning to help make farm tools. In order to see Kong Xingbai, she was willing to work half a day.
It didn't matter even if one of her front teeth fell out. The weather was cold, so she used a scarf to cover even the corners of her mouth, so it couldn't be seen unless she smiled.
On the other hand, Lu Juanjuan was on the morning shift and learned that something had happened at the Shi family yesterday, so she asked to come and take a look.
After entering the house, he greeted Yang Dahua and walked straight into the cabin.
