She bought a piece of slightly flawed handmade essential oil soap from the system. After unpacking it, she went to the backyard to give it to Zhou Mingqi and explained how to use it. She returned without staying long.
After everything was packed up, Zhou Mingshu took off his shoes and lay down on the bed to rest.
Not long after, I heard Old Mrs. Zhou and her two daughters-in-law coming back. The three of them were talking and laughing, and it seemed that they had paid back the money smoothly.
Several people sat down at the dinner table and talked to their sons about what had just happened.
Zhou Mingshu held up his cheeks and leaned against the window to listen to their conversation. It turned out that everyone was quite surprised that the Zhou family could pay back the money so quickly, but now that the lent money had been returned, the villagers were indeed very happy.
She felt thirsty after talking about this, so Mrs. Zhou picked up the teapot, poured some tea and took two sips. She felt that today's tea was really delicious and sweet.
"You guys try it too. What kind of tea is brewed today? It tastes really sweet." Everyone tasted it and found it delicious. They couldn't help but drink two more cups.
"All the money we saved at home has been repaid at once. Everyone, tighten your belts and pay off these debts as soon as possible. Then you can eat whatever you want and as much as you want. It's getting late, so you should pack up and go to bed early."
Old Madam Zhou walked into the house, but turned back halfway. "Didn't I tell you three to drink? Are you not going to work in town tomorrow? Hurry up, bring the table into the house, clean up and go to bed."
Old Mrs. Zhou picked up the pot of wine and brought it to the kitchen. If she didn't care, there was no telling how long the three brothers would stop drinking. After a delicious meal, they forgot their place. The eldest brother's face turned red and he would be drunk if he drank any more.
The second and third sons went to the town to carry heavy bags and earned forty copper coins every day, which was a considerable income for the family.
This is already a huge sum of money for the poor Zhou family. If she gets drunk and is late for work, she will have to take off her shoes and beat her up.
……
Early the next morning, the Zhou family woke up in the warm morning light. While the weather was not yet hot, the eldest brother Zhou carried a hoe and went to the fields to weed.
I haven't taken care of the field for a few days, and the grass has grown very tall.
I also met Wang Youcai on the way. The fields of the two families were not far away, so they were on the same way. They could see each other from the edge of their respective fields. We agreed to go home together for breakfast and then went about our business.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhu were busy making breakfast, while Mrs. Zhou was mending clothes.
A lot of the family’s debts have been paid off, and I feel different inside. Even I sleep more peacefully.
When I woke up early in the morning, my whole body felt lighter and more comfortable.
After some time, the clothes for the three boys in the family will be cut out, and the remaining embroidery work will be handed over to their mothers. As an old woman, she doesn't care about that.
Feng changed the water for the chicks in the chicken coop and was surprised to find that the chicks had grown feathers.
"Mom, mom, come quickly and see, the chicks have grown hair."
Old Mrs. Zhou put down her sewing and came over. "This chick already has hair. Why are you so excited?"
"I know, I was talking about the harder chicken feathers." Feng's words were ambiguous, so he made another excuse.
Of course, Mrs. Zhou knew what her daughter-in-law was talking about, she was just joking.
She took care of these chicks every day, so she was naturally very familiar with their growth. She went forward to take a look, counted them back and forth, and the old woman was very satisfied.
"Yeah, that's good. These chicks have grown a bit bigger. They will be able to lay eggs in another three months."
Thinking about the endless eggs in the future, Mrs. Zhou's face was full of smiles, and Mrs. Feng next to her was also very happy.
"Yeah, chickens lay eggs, and eggs lay chickens. From now on, we will have more chickens and eggs than we can eat."
"Haha, your little mouth is the only one that can speak."
One after another, the children in the family woke up, and the yard of Old Zhou's house gradually became lively.
After dinner, Zhou Mingqi took the lead and rushed to the back of the house carrying a basin of clothes.
She wanted to try out the soap San Ya gave her to see if it was useful.
This soap doesn't smell strange when you hold it in your hand, it can even be considered refreshing and pleasant.
The texture is also very good. If she scratches it lightly with her fingernail, a mark will appear.
Following the instructions San Ya taught her, she soaked the clothes and soap and rubbed them gently on the clothes. The soap block would soften after being soaked in water, leaving soap on the clothes. Then, she rubbed the clothes and foam would appear.
Zhou Mingqi looked at the foam on the clothes. She really felt that this "soap" was magical. After rinsing the foam off the clothes, the original stains disappeared.
"Oh my god, big sister, the soap San Ya makes is really effective, you should try it." Zhou Mingqi's voice was full of excitement, surprise, and impatience...
"Just try it, look how anxious you are." Zhou Mingqin rubbed the soap on the clothes, then kneaded them, and sure enough... the effect was good.
"This... it's clean already?" Zhou Mingqin's voice was filled with more disbelief.
"Yeah, I said it's very useful. Sanya's little brain is really smart. Even if I have ten of them, they won't be as useful as hers. Actually, Sanya told us to use soapberry to wash, but I was afraid that grandma would beat us so I didn't dare to use it."
"Grandma is not as scary as you say. You could ask her in advance, maybe she would agree. Soapberry can be used to wash hair, so it can also be used to wash clothes. So how is this soap made?"
"This... Sanya hasn't taught me everything yet. You can ask her when she comes back. She only taught me half of it last time, and it's been so many days. I've forgotten everything."
Zhou Mingqi was a little annoyed. She really had a pig brain. No, even a pig brain was smarter than her.
She had wanted to remember it well, but once she started doing other things, she forgot it all in the blink of an eye.
"Forget it. If you can't remember something, I may not remember it either. San Ya will teach us when she has time. I see that this soap is quite big and hard. We should be able to wash a lot of clothes. Let's wash the clothes first. We still have to steam the ointment later."
Instead of using a mallet, the two sisters filled a basin with river water and scrubbed their faces with soap bit by bit.
To their surprise once again, the stubborn old stains that had not been cleaned before were now clean.
Looking at each other, both sisters were surprised.
A bold idea came to mind: 'Something more powerful than ointment has appeared!'
It usually takes me an hour to wash clothes, but today it only took less than half an hour, and I rubbed the clothes thoroughly from top to bottom.
When hanging the clothes on bamboo poles to dry, you can clearly see that the color of the clothes is clearer and brighter than before, and all the dark stains are gone.
The contrast is really explosive!
