Where's my soap? Where's my four big bars of soap?

Yu Hongdou stared at the empty box in disbelief, raised her head and looked around, then opened her mouth and howled: "Mom~"

This definitely wasn't taken away by birds or animals. Soapberries are poisonous and most birds and animals won't eat them.

"What's wrong? Oh, you're looking for this." Xu looked at the empty box and cautiously peeked at her daughter's face.

"Your brother and your father came to see it before daybreak. Seeing that it was sticky and hadn't solidified, your brother said he would take some of it away to ask his teacher if there was any solution. Your father took the rest to ask your grandfather."

Seeing that her daughter seemed really angry, Xu hurriedly explained.

What she didn't say was that when her husband and son tried the paste, they found it actually resembled soap and had a refreshing and pleasant smell.

Then the father and son washed their hair and took a bath early in the morning, and there was not much paste left, which was not much to begin with.

Afraid that their daughter would be angry when she woke up, the father and son made the excuse that the soap was not made, and hurriedly took the remaining porridge to seek a remedy.

Yu Hongdou took a deep breath and told herself that her father and brother definitely meant well. But she was still very angry. How could they not let her take a look!

"Okay, don't be angry. Your father said he would customize a set of small cookware just for you. Your brother said he would go to the shops in the city to find a few molds for you." Mrs. Xu could see her daughter's emotions and hurried to comfort her.

She was annoyed at her husband and son's behavior, as they were so grown up yet still so childish. But the most important thing at the moment was to comfort her daughter.

A mother understands her daughter much better than anyone else. Although Hongdou has never lost her temper, it doesn’t mean she won’t lose her temper. But as long as you find the crux of the problem, she is easy to coax.

Yu Hongdou looked at the empty wooden box, went over the promises made by her father and brother in her mind, and confirmed with her mother: "Are you really going to customize small pots and molds for me? You are not kidding me!"

Xu promised immediately: "I will definitely buy it. If you don't want to buy it, I will take you to buy it myself."

In fact, she knew that her mother must have concealed something. Even without her saying it, she knew that her father and brother must have gone crazy and secretly used her soapnut soap.

It was worth it to exchange a box of unsuccessful porridge for these benefits. Yu Hongdou felt relieved.

In order to make up for her daughter's broken heart, Xu decided to take her daughter up the mountain to dig up the silver dan grass and hopanax that her daughter wanted and transplant it into the yard, and also to dig up some wild vegetables and chop them up to feed the chickens.

When she heard that she was going out, Yu Hongdou became even happier. In addition to mint, walnut and mugwort, she also wanted to move some flowers and plants that could be used to make essential oils.

Well, when dad and brother come back, I have to ask them to compensate her with some tea oil, or better yet, some other oil.

It would be great if there was coconut oil. I don’t know if I’ll ever see coconut again in this life.

The mother and daughter each carried a backpack. They left Wangwang at home to look after the house, said something to Yu Erlang and Yu Li next door, and went to the Nanshan Mountain behind.

"Mom, where is Dad doing?" Yu Hongdou was curious. Her dad should be helping her second uncle's family at the moment.

"Go to your grandfather's house to ask for some rapeseed, and then go to the village chief's house. I heard that the village chief's eldest son Hongyang is back, and seems to be looking for your father for some news." This is what Xu heard from Sun in the morning.

Every morning, Sun delivered meals to Yu Erlang and Yu Li next door. She happened to pass by the village chief's house and was stopped by the village chief, who asked her to give a message to Yu Sanlang.

Yu Hongdou had no memory of the village chief's eldest son. After he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he moved to the county town.

It is said that his grandfather from the Yue family was originally an official, but later died of illness, so the whole family moved back to their hometown.

Because they were originally the wife of an official, their family was very particular. The second cousin once said that Gao Xiulan complained that her eldest sister-in-law looked down on the country people and that was why she didn't ask her eldest brother to return to the village.

Yu Hongdou asked her mother when she remembered it, after all, the village chief's son was of the same generation as his parents, so his parents should know more.

"I only met Hongyang's wife once. She was indeed a bit arrogant, but I heard that her grandfather was a fifth-rank official. No wonder she was so confident." Xu recalled the only time they met.

The so-called young lady didn't appear in public for even an incense stick of time, and she kept covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief the whole time. If she hadn't put it down when she bowed, others would have thought she had a mouth disease.

"If you really had the confidence, you wouldn't have returned to this remote place." Yu Hongdou disagreed.

If the other party's fifth-rank grandfather were still alive, she might have the confidence to be proud, but her grandfather was dead.

Her father had never been an official, and she married a scholar from the village. Such a marriage was an implicit indication that the other party's family was of poor origin.

"Your uncle Hongyang is a good person. When villagers have problems in the city, they go to the city to find him. Regardless of whether he can help or not, he will always show up." This is what Xu heard from her husband and the villagers.

Yu Hongdou couldn't deny it. She noticed a few wild roses and asked Xu to help her dig them up.

Wild roses have bright flowers and pleasant fragrance, and there are thorns on the branches. Yu Hongdou plans to plant them behind the house so that people can smell the fragrance and serve as a defense.

Xu might have thought of this, so in addition to wild roses, she also dug up a few jujube trees.

The wild jujubes on the mountain are round and look like sheep dung balls. The jujube trees are not tall and their branches are covered with thorns. They are most suitable for planting at the foot of walls or piercing walls after drying.

Yu Hongdou followed her mother as they walked and dug, her eyes sweeping across the green light in the grass, and she spent one point to exchange for a fat rabbit.

The fat rabbit was bulging and looked like it was pregnant, which reminded Yu Hongdou of her breeding business.

Rabbits are great, they are full of treasures, they reproduce quickly, and they are delicious! She decided to find an opportunity to take out this fat rabbit and raise it.

In the industrial, agricultural and breeding industries, we must not leave any one behind.

The mother and daughter were exhausted, so they walked back and dug up some wild vegetables on the way, which were enough for the chickens to eat for a day.

When I got home, Yu Sanlang had already returned. He was planting something behind the house. He felt a little guilty when he saw his daughter.

"Hongdou, Daddy has asked for a soapberry tree for you. I heard that it produced soapberries last year. After I'm done with this busy work, Daddy will go and dig some for you." Yu Sanlang smiled ingratiatingly at his daughter.

There was clearly some soap bean paste left in the morning, and he took it to show off to his father, but his father confiscated it.

Now there was nothing left. One could imagine how angry his daughter must be, so Yu Sanlang hurriedly looked for remedies.

When I went to the village chief's house, I asked casually and found out that there were seven or eight soapberry trees at the village chief's son-in-law's house, which was Wangzhuangtou next to Xingwang Town. The village chief agreed to give him one.

Yu Hongdou raised her chin and nodded proudly. She was extremely surprised. She didn't expect that her father would directly provide her with the raw materials.

But this doesn't make up for his fault of taking the baby without permission. Even if parents have natural rights, they have to respect their children, right?

So Yu Hongdou pouted and complained about how her father's evil deeds hurt her fragile heart and made her feel lost and sad.

In the end, Yu Sanlang ceded land and paid compensation. Not only did he have to pay a set of customized small cookware, but he also had to find various oils and materials for his daughter.

Xu watched the father and daughter making a fuss from the side, with a helpless yet satisfied smile on her face, until the village chief came again and broke this harmonious family happiness.
