Chapter 296: The world is calm and peaceful, but the years are long in the mountains
Pinggu suddenly realized what she was thinking now, and a drastic change had taken place without her noticing!
If Jiang Yu was with Old Madam Cao in the past, she would have thought that a good woman should never marry again, so how could she marry again?
They also believe that a divorced woman would cause trouble if she did anything other than work at her parents' home, and that meeting and talking with a man would ruin her reputation.
But what Shen Qing said just now did not contain any blame, only the normal human nature. What she was thinking about was how to help, whether it was suitable, and whether she could be happy.
She hadn't considered a woman's virtues at all, only to discover whether they were shackles. Otherwise, why isn't it said that a good man should never marry again? Those men who are still married and still have their eyes on the pot while eating from their bowls, don't they need more virtuous husbands...
Before, she was still brooding over her divorce, always thinking that divorced women were morally flawed. Now she realized that she was not the stain, but Cao Da was the stain!
After figuring it out, Pinggu felt her body became much lighter, and she joined the lively atmosphere with brisk steps.
The first village dinner in Hulu Village was a great success.
The salty Laba porridge was not as unpalatable as Shen Qing had thought. Instead, it was quite tasty and delicious.
The sweet Laba porridge she cooked was loved by the children who tried it for the first time and they couldn't get enough of it. The women comforted their children by saying that they cooked sweet Laba porridge on Laba Day, but they were also curious whether it was really delicious.
What’s the difference between it and the salty ones? Will it taste good if the salty ones are changed to sweet ones?
With expectations, life becomes much more hopeful.
Shen Qing's family's days were as busy as ever.
Even though Pinggu and the other four people joined us, things didn't get any easier but became even busier!
Because there was an embroidery workshop, Pinggu was responsible for teaching, and the two older sisters followed to learn embroidery. Then the school was successfully opened. The two younger sisters went to school in the morning, but after coming back in the afternoon, they would play with Huahua and her sisters, which invisibly helped Jiang Xiangzhong free up a lot of time.
Huo Bing and Guan Li are becoming more and more skilled in making soap. They don't have much lard or mutton fat, but fortunately they have a lot of sesame oil and other ingredients in stock. They dare not slack off, thinking that the earlier they make it and the longer it can be stored, the gentler it will be on the skin, which will not affect their sale after the spring of next year.
The brush workshop is also in full swing. After all, wages are calculated by the number of brushes, not by the number of days. The more you make, the more money you earn. For the same day's work, who doesn't want to earn more?
Therefore, the younger ones in the village attend school, the older ones work in embroidery workshops, the middle-aged ones work in brush workshops, and the elderly stay at home to take care of daily meals, laundry, cleaning, and other logistical matters, as well as raising livestock such as sheep and rabbits that can generate additional income...
While others are sleeping in, they are up and working.
While others stayed in bed, they went out to work in the workshop or the cattle pen.
Others went to bed early after eating, but they were still working.
It can be said that there are no idle people in the entire village!
Apart from the little kids, there was no one else around.
The benefits are that every household’s savings have increased significantly, and the food has improved significantly.
It was not obvious that the food had been stored up early, but the sheep and rabbits grew up day by day. The rabbits were raised until they grew stronger, and the rams could be slaughtered to sell the sheepskin and sheep oil for Shen Qing, while the mutton was naturally kept for the family to improve their meals;
Although chickens and geese lay fewer eggs in the cold winter, there are still some. You don't have to exchange them for coarse salt, you can just add them to your diet.
Compared with previous winters when people could only eat dried vegetables and cabbage porridge, this winter everyone in the village is full of energy!
The wind and clouds are light outside the world, and the years are long in the mountains.
In a blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching, and Shen Qing is thinking about which day to stop working - after all, the New Year is coming soon, and stopping work early and making good preparations at home will allow him to feel the New Year atmosphere.
"Mom, something bad has happened! Come out and take a look!"
