"As long as you leave me a chicken leg later, I won't feel tired at all."
Su Qiao wanted to roll his eyes.
He always eats no matter what he does. That's how he got so fat.
Although Su Qiao wanted to complain, she held back in order to encourage her to work.
He agreed immediately: "Okay, I'll leave one for you if I have one."
Zhou Lihua smiled happily, with her double chin showing, and waved her hand: "Then go back to your room quickly. When you wake up, I will wash you clean."
Su Qiao nodded and walked towards the west room obediently.
She had to go back and think carefully about how to make the straw paper, and then think about other ideas to make money.
However, before she entered her room, she heard her mother shouting behind her.
"Er Ni! Er Ni!"
"Where did this damn girl go to play?"
Liu came out of the kitchen, holding a few dripping sweet potatoes in her hands: "His aunt, Erni went to the backyard to help me clean up the chicken intestines. Do you have anything to do with Erni?"
"I... ... "
Zhou Lihua was just about to tell Erni to stop cleaning up the chicken intestines and come over to help her wash the clothes when Su Qiao's voice rang out from the west room.
"Mom, remember our agreement. You can't be lazy and let others do it for you."
"Also, I have to wash my clothes with soapberry, so that they are clean and smell good."
“…” Zhou Lihua felt a breath stuck in her throat and she almost choked to death.
After a long while, she reluctantly went to the windowsill under the eaves to get the soapberry.
"Where does this damn girl come from with so many different styles?" She even has to use soapberry to wash it, and it has to smell good.
The corners of Liu's mouth twitched.
When washing clothes, who in the village doesn’t use soapberry
Who would just wash it with water and then hang it on the rope? Isn't that the same as washing clothes
"Ahem, his aunt, Dani has grown up and knows the etiquette. It is indeed cleaner and easier to wash the soapberry."
After hearing this, Zhou Lihua realized that her daughter was indeed not a child anymore and it was time to be more respectful. Otherwise, how could she marry into a wealthy family in the future

In the west room, Su Qiao was scratching the ground near the window with a half-burned charcoal stick in his hand.
After studying for a long time, I finally had some idea in my mind.
After she finished scratching, she studied it with Xiao Si for a while, and it was almost dark.
That afternoon, Zhou Lihua was unusually serious. She washed her daughter's clothes and quilts cleanly and hung them on the rope, which attracted several glances from an old lady passing by.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Su Qiao was about to go upstairs to eat, but Zhou Lihua pushed the door open.
"It's dark here, where are you going?"
Su Qiao blinked: "Isn't it time to eat?"
The Su family usually eats in the main house, and the food is distributed by the old lady.
"You are stupid. You are still sick. Of course I will bring your food to your room to eat."
Zhou Lihua proudly pushed the big bowl of food in front of her and said, "Look what mom made for you."
"drumstick?"
There was no oil lamp in the room, and the only light came from the door and the window. As it was getting dark outside, Su Qiao could only vaguely see an outline.
But the smell of meat lingering in her nose was enough for her to guess what it was.
"Both chicken legs were brought to mother."
Zhou Lihua happily pushed her away and walked into the house.
"You don't know, your grandma's eyes were so wide that she almost scared mom to death."
"But for my daughter, I gritted my teeth and got both chicken legs for you. What do you think? Am I good enough to you?"
