After the meal, Liu Tangxi took the initiative to take on the work of washing pots and dishes.
Originally, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhou took turns to cook, and Mrs. Li would do it once in a while. However, since Zhou's month got older, things have been handed over to Zhang's.
After Zhang's body was born, her mother-in-law Li didn't let her do heavy work, so Zhang didn't complain about it.
Moreover, because the third child Wei's condition worsened, Mrs. Li couldn't help her.
Not only that, but when he was done, Mrs Zhang would occasionally go to work with the men in the fields.
Zhou Shi was a little dissatisfied with Liu Tangxi's lazy behavior before, and now that she is a month old, it is very inconvenient to squat down to wash dishes and cook pots.
Now that Liu Tangxi took the initiative to do it, he glanced at Liu Tangxi.
Not long after the meal, Wei Daniel and Wei Erhu went to the ground again. There is not much work in the field now, just pulling the weeds will do.
Seeing that there was nothing in the yard, Mrs. Li went to the mountain not far behind the house with Mrs. Zhang.
In order for Wei Hanzhou to study, the family not only planted land, but also planted a lot of fruit on the mountain. Although the money is not much, it is not bad because of the proximity and the water source on the mountain, which is easy to take care of.
Liu Tangxi is not a lazy person. After washing the dishes and pots, he went to sweep the yard.
After sweeping the yard, Liu Tangxi glanced at the pigsty and chickensty by the west wall, and walked over.
It was early summer now, and from the day she woke up, she had smelled a strange smell in the room. Although the smell has not been smelled for many years, it is very familiar.
The unique taste of the farmhouse.
After three days of forbearance, Liu Tangxi finally couldn't take it anymore today.
First, he glanced at the environment in the pigsty and chickensty. Then, Liu Tangxi ran into the house and took out a cloth to cover his nose and mouth. Then, he picked up the broom and went to the chickensty.
At this time, Zhou Shi came out of the room.
The chicken pen was right next to the wing where Zhou lived, and she had heard the movement long ago, but she had been embroidering in the house and never came out. When he opened the window and saw Liu Tangxi's intention, Zhou had to come out.
After her window was opened, there was a chicken coop. Now that the weather is getting hot, she almost never opens the window because of the strong smell.
Although she was used to these smells, she felt a little uncomfortable because she was pregnant.
She thought Liu Tangxi was a squeamish person. After all, when she came on the first day, she personally brought Liu Tangxi a bowl of noodles with a poached egg lying in it, but the other party glanced in disgust and didn't eat a single bite.
She was very angry at the time.
She personally cooks for people with a seven-month belly, and puts an egg extravagantly, but she is disliked by others.
Therefore, in recent days, she has seen nothing pleasing to Liu Tangxi's eyes.
If it wasn't for the fact that her father-in-law's illness had really improved, and her mother-in-law was polite to her, she would have been scolding Liu Tangxi long ago.
However, she is not one to hold grudges. Although Liu Tangxi disliked her cooking that day, but today Liu Tangxi did help her a lot, so the Zhou family also showed goodwill to Liu Tangxi.
"I'll help you." Zhou Shi said.
Even though she is seven months pregnant, it is not impossible to do anything. In the farmhouse, there are still people who go to the field with a big belly.
Liu Tangxi glanced at Zhou's stomach and said, "No need, second sister-in-law, go back to the house to rest. It smells bad outside, and these chickens will peck people, so it's not good to meet sister-in-law."
Zhou Shi wanted to say something else, but Liu Tangxi didn't let her say, "Second sister-in-law, go back quickly, it's really not necessary."
Liu Tangxi was not a virgin either. She knew that the Zhou family didn't like her, and she didn't expect a hot face to stick to a cold butt.
But she didn't know why Zhou Shi didn't like her. In the book, Liu Tangxi is a supporting role, and Zhou Shi is a small role that he didn't even mention. The author did not describe this farm life, so she didn't know the reason for Zhou's dissatisfaction with her at all.
However, Zhou Shi is now seven months old, and seeing that she will give birth in a few months, she does not dare to call her.
In the environment where she lived, even in the countryside, there was no reason for a seven-month-old pregnant woman to work.
Seeing that Liu Tangxi insisted on doing this, Zhou Shi didn't insist anymore after he lowered his head and touched his stomach.
Seeing Zhou's entering the house, Liu Tangxi was relieved.
Wan Zhoushi bumped into each other for a while, but she couldn't afford it, and no one was watching, she could use her fists and feet to work.
Liu Tangxi found that the pigs and chickens of the Wei family were very obedient. Although she also raised chickens and pigs when she was a child, she had never encountered such obedient ones. When she went to clean inside, these beasts seemed to understand human words and cooperated very well.
This saved Liu Tangxi a lot of effort.
After sweeping the dirty things together, Liu Tangxi took the basket and carried these things out again. When walking out, Liu Tangxi glanced at the direction of the study subconsciously.
Wei Hanzhou's threat was still in his ears that day. If she went out at this time, would Wei Hanzhou stop her
Standing on the spot and watching for a while, seeing that there was no movement in the study room, Liu Tangxi carried a basket and walked outside.
When he came back, Liu Tangxi felt a pair of eyes staring at her.
Looking up, there seems to be no movement in the study.
Liu Tangxi stared at it for a while, then turned around and continued cleaning.
After finishing, I brushed the trough where the chickens and pigs eat with water, and arranged everything in it neatly.
Looking at the chicken and pig sties that he spent most of an hour cleaning up, Liu Tangxi breathed a sigh of relief, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Although I don't know how long I will stay here, I have to stay clean for one day.
After doing this, Liu Tangxi sniffed the smell on his body, hurriedly went to boil some hot water, went to his room to scrub briefly, and changed into clean clothes.
Then she went to the well to fetch water and washed the clothes she had changed.
Li and Zhang, who had just dried their clothes on the ropes and went to the mountain to see the fruit trees, came back.
Not only came back, but also picked a basket of apples.
"Mother, sister-in-law, you are back." Liu Tangxi went over to say hello.
"Well, I'm back, I picked some apples grown at home, you can taste it."
Looking at the apples in the basket, Liu Tangxi swallowed. Although she was not short of fruit, she hadn't eaten it for several days. When she saw the red apple, she really wanted to eat it.
However, even so, Liu Tangxi refused: "No, let's keep the fruit for money."
She heard it during dinner in the morning. Mrs. Li said that the apples on the mountain were about to ripen, and they would be brought to the town to sell.
The third child Wei has been ill for so long, and the family's savings have almost been spent. The reason why there was still twenty taels of silver to buy her was that it was also the money left for Wei Hanzhou to go to the scientific examination. Now the Wei family's property must be empty.
Although she was afraid of Wei Hanzhou, and because he was about to become a generation of courtiers, she had a bad impression, but these people in front of her were all real people, and she couldn't do anything to steal people's food.
Seeing that her youngest daughter-in-law had already thought about her family in just a few days, Mrs. Li was very worried.
At first, she listened to the fortune teller's words, and in order to save her own man, she secretly took all the savings of the family and married this daughter-in-law back.
Because of this, her man was very angry. Although the younger son didn't say it, she could tell that she didn't agree with her approach.
But now, his man's illness is gradually getting better, and his daughter-in-law is also generous, sensible and obedient.
Li Shi felt more and more that he did nothing wrong in this matter, and looked at Liu Tangxi with kindness in his eyes: "It's alright, there are so many fruits on the mountain, enough for the family to eat. And these are all fallen down, and the appearance is not good. Well, it can't be sold for a few cents, so it's better to eat it yourself."
Hearing what Mr. Li said, Liu Tangxi looked at the apples in the basket, and they were indeed of bad quality, and some had large scars, so he did not refuse any more, and took out an apple from the basket to wash.
At this time, Mrs. Li glanced at the closed door of the study and reminded: "I also wash one for the third one. He is tired of reading. I heard that eating more apples is good for the health."
Liu Tangxi was startled for a moment, but still took one from it obediently.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang saw the changes in the yard and asked in surprise, "Huh? Why are the chicken and pigsties so clean?"
Zhou Shi heard the movement and came out of the room.
"Second brother and sister, did you clean? It's not that my sister-in-law told you that you are a month old, so don't do such a thing. Besides, there is no need to clean the place where these beasts live. If you feel that the smell is heavy, tell your sister-in-law, sister-in-law. Come clean." Mrs. Zhang scolded Mrs. Zhou.
Zhou Shi glanced at Liu Tangxi's back in the kitchen and said, "It's not me, it's the third sibling."
After hearing this, Li also walked over and looked at the pigsty and chickensty by the west wall.
Although they cleaned the inside every once in a while, they had never cleaned it as cleanly as Liu Tangxi.
Liu Tangxi first carefully cleaned the two apples in his hands, and then took a knife to cut off the scars on them. After cutting them, he washed them again.
After doing this, Liu Tangxi stared at the two apples carefully. I wanted to keep the slightly red apple with a relatively better appearance for myself, but thinking of Wei Hanzhou's cold eyes, Liu Tangxi still gave up.
In the end, she took a heavy bite of the small blue apple all over her body.
Listening to that voice, it's not like eating an apple, but treating an enemy.
However, in the next instant, Liu Tangxi's eyes lit up.
This does not add any preservatives, no chemical fertilizers and pesticides have been applied, and the pure natural apples are delicious.
Crispy and sweet.
After two bites, Liu Tangxi came out of the kitchen.
Seeing Mrs. Li and others looking at the chicken sties and pig sties, Liu Tangxi thought about it and said, "Mother, I think the smell is too strong, so I dumped the pig manure and chicken manure in the pit at the back of the house, if needed in the field. Just go there."
Li said with a smile, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Liu Tangxi smiled and walked towards the study.
Thinking of the sight just now, when he walked to the door, Liu Tangxi deliberately took a bite of the apple and made a little noise.
Seeing Wei Hanzhou looking over, Liu Tangxi reluctantly handed him the apple with a stern face.
Wei Hanzhou glanced at the apple in Liu Tangxi's hand and took it silently.
Liu Tangxi stopped looking at him, turned and left, deliberately biting the apple in his hand as he left.
Wei Hanzhou raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Tangxi's back, and then looked at the apple in front of him.
The family has been in the apple for five years, and the variety has not been changed. He has long known the taste of this apple. Ripe apples still taste average, and these drops are even more common.
However, thinking of Liu Tangxi eating apples with contentment just now, Wei Hanzhou suddenly felt that the apples in his hands seemed to taste good, just as he was a little thirsty.
Then, the ghost took a bite.
Sure enough, it was sweet.
Just as he was about to take a second bite, Liu Tangxi suddenly turned his head and said nervously and cautiously, "Xiang... Xianggong, I just made chicken shit and forgot to wash my hands, you won't blame me, will you?"
Wei Hanzhou paused for a moment while chewing, then looked at Liu Tangxi blankly, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Seeing that Wei Hanzhou was finally not that dead face, Liu Tangxi smiled and said, "I lied to you~"
As he said that, he took a bite of the apple in front of him and left with brisk steps humming an out-of-tune little song.
