Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Chapter 21 Familiar Sour Smell

Make two pairs of underwear and wear them inside. No one should notice it! Winter is coming soon, so she needs to wear thick clothes. She sleeps alone, so even her grandmother won't notice it as long as she doesn't go to the bathhouse with her.

She did it as soon as she thought of it. It happened that she had put the electric sewing machine she often used into the warehouse. With the cloth and the machine, it was very easy to make a few pairs of panties.

After putting away all the bedding on the bed, Han Zhaozhao went to the warehouse and found a piece of fine cotton cloth.

This kind of cotton cloth has good elasticity and is specially used for making underwear. In order to prepare for the end of the world, Han Zhaozhao prepared fifty pieces of it in the space, ten pieces of each of the five colors of red, white, green, blue and gray, all of which were wide-width, enough to cope with the family's wear for decades.

Han Zhaozhao chose a white piece of cloth, cut two meters of it, and made himself four pairs of boxer briefs of the same size at one time.

It’s quick with a sewing machine. Han Zhaozhao finished making the underwear in just one hour by cutting and sewing.

After cutting, you can’t wear it yet, you have to wash it in water!

There is a special washing machine for washing underwear in the bathroom, and there is also special laundry detergent. After washing, Han Zhaozhao hung the underwear to dry on the wooden fence in the yard.

Remembering that the space was still missing a clothes drying rack, Han Zhaozhao ran into the warehouse, found a six-meter-long stainless steel pipe, cut it in two with an electric tool, and used wooden planks as supports to make two clothes drying racks.

It was difficult for her to collect stainless steel pipes, and there were not many left, only one bundle. She was reluctant to use more, so she tried to replace them with wood whenever possible.

After all, in this age of material scarcity, there was no place to buy stainless steel, so she had to use it sparingly.

Before he finished, Han Zhaozhao couldn't stand it anymore! His arms, waist, and neck hurt.

Although she had the skills and tools, her body was still too small, she had no exercise, and after a day's work and poor eating, she really couldn't take it anymore!

Can't hurt your body by overworking yourself! Han Zhaozhao threw his tools on the ground and said he was done with work. He drank some water and went to bed to rest!

Holding the clothes he had just changed into, Han Zhaozhao slipped out of the space and drank the river water in the space. He felt comfortable all over, and even the discomfort of the vacuum was no longer unbearable.

Besides, she is still a child and has gotten used to it after working for several hours!

Haha, she now felt that she could adapt to the liberation of her nature, so she crawled into bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, Han Zhaozhao woke up early. She was woken up by her own smell.

He slept soundly and dreamlessly that night. When it was almost dawn, Han Zhaozhao suddenly smelled a familiar sour odor.

These are the impurities forced out of the human body by drinking space water. She has smelled them on her loved ones more than once!

"With such a strong smell, please don't dirty the bedding." Han Zhaozhao's thoughts seemed to have changed after traveling to this era. Now, instead of considering his physical condition, he was worried about whether he would dirty the bedding.

Through the curtains, it seemed as if it was still dark outside. She didn't bother to check if the bedding was dirty, she had to wash herself first.

With a thought, she appeared in the bathroom of the living room of the space, took off her T-shirt, turned on the shower to wash her body first.

He used shampoo and shower gel and rubbed his body for a full half hour to remove the greasiness. As the black mud left his body and washed off to the ground, Han Zhaozhao felt the long-lost comfort and relaxation again.

Wrapped in a bath towel, scrubbed the bathroom floor tiles, threw the T-shirt into the laundry basket, Han Zhaozhao grabbed a pair of underwear in the yard and put it on, then hurried out of the space.

I went to the closet to find my long johns and put them on, then put on yesterday's overcoat, woolen waistcoat and trousers, opened the door and walked out of the house.

Her grandmother was cooking in the kitchen, the bellows made a "clacking" sound, and the whole yard was filled with the smell of human life.

"Grandma, what time do you go to work today and what do you bring for lunch?"

"Why are you getting up so early? It's only half past six. When it gets colder, you can sleep in in the morning. You don't have to get up early with me.

Grandma will go to work at 8 o'clock, so it's not too late to go out at 7:30. I'll make breakfast and take it with me when I leave. I'll call you when I leave.

Zhao Zhao, go back and sleep a little longer. There is nothing to do in the morning, just get up at 7:30."

Han Zhaozhao saw that grandma hadn't combed her hair yet, so he took the poker and said, "Grandma, I know what's in the pot? I'll light the fire, and you go comb your hair and wash your face!"

Han Zhao stood up from the stove and said, "Okay, you cook it. I've steamed some steamed bread and cakes, and also steamed two sweet potatoes. Call me when they're done. I'll also add some cornmeal to make some corn porridge.

I'm going to wash my face and comb my hair. Zhaozhao, do you think it's okay for grandma to cut her hair?

It’s too troublesome to comb long hair. It’s hard to wash your hair when it’s cold, and it doesn’t dry even after washing. It takes too much time.”

Han Zhaozhao agreed with this, and she also thought short hair looked good. "Why not? Grandma, you have a good face shape, you will look good with short hair.

She is clean, neat and youthful, and at first glance she is a female worker in the new society.

You should have cut your hair a long time ago. With this kind of bun, you look like an old lady from the old society, lifeless. It’s troublesome to wash your hair in winter, and it’s easy to catch a cold.”

"Really? Then I'll go to the recycling station and cut it off. I can just sell it for a few dollars!"

The old lady excitedly went back to the main room to wash her face and comb her hair. Han Zhaozhao sat in front of the stove and continued to pull the bellows to make a fire.

Before the dry food was steamed, the old lady came back after washing up. She took out the dry food sieve, put cornmeal in a ladle and diluted it with water, then put it into the pot to make thin corn porridge.

I picked up some cucumbers and pickled beans from the pickle jar, cut them up, and served them on the table with porridge. It was a side dish.

Each person had a bowl of corn porridge, Han Zhaoshi ate a pancake and a sweet potato, and Han Zhaozhao drank a bowl of porridge and ate a pancake.

After dinner, Han Zhaozhao took on the task of washing the dishes and wiping the table, and asked his grandmother to prepare lunch to take away.

The old lady put two steamed buns, a sweet potato and two chopsticks of pickles in an aluminum lunch box.

He wrapped a pair of chopsticks in a towel, took an enamel pot, put them all in a cloth bag, and prepared to go out.

"Zhao Zhao, I've hung the key behind the main room door for you. Don't forget to lock the door after you take whatever you want.

By the way, there is a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns left in the pot. If you don’t want to cook at noon, you can heat them up and eat them.

Grandma has gone to work, so you stay at home to take care of the house and try not to go out. If there are children who come to see you, let them come to your house to play.

Don't forget to lock the door when you go in and out. If you really have something important to ask grandma, find someone to accompany you to the purchasing station, remember?"

Han Zhao was always worried before leaving, as she always felt that there were some things she had not told him.

"Grandma, if you don't go out now, you'll be late! Don't worry! I'm seven years old, not a child anymore, leave the house to me, you can go now!"

After seeing off his grandmother who looked back after a few steps, Han Zhaozhao slammed the door shut, locked the door, and went back to the house to clean.

I checked the bedding in my room and found that it was not dirty, but it had a sour smell. I wanted to dry the quilt, and there were cabbage leaves hanging on the clothesline in the yard.

If she doesn't get exposed to the sun, she won't be able to get into bed and sleep at night. Her clean body and the smelly blanket will pollute each other repeatedly. I can't stand the thought!

She had no choice but to put the bedding into the space to dry. Since she had to go in there anyway, Han Zhaozhao decided to collect some seeds and plant them in the space first.

After getting the key, Han Zhaozhao ran excitedly to the kitchen. With a "click" sound, he opened the big lock of the cupboard.

Han Zhaozhao weighed the big copper lock in his hand and smiled. Wow! It's still an old-fashioned one! I don't know what era it is from. Is it an antique?
