Thinking of this, Fang Tianlin's stomach began to churn, and he suppressed it only after suppressing the discomfort.Food is hard to come by, so he is not allowed to spoil it.It's hard to eat, but I have to eat.Fang Tianlin no longer chewed slowly, and just like the others, he swallowed the food without chewing much.It's just that the mentality of the two sides is completely different. Fang Tianlin can't eat, and the others can't wait to put their heads on the plate.

Fang Tianlin was very surprised. He obviously didn't wear the clothes, so why didn't he inherit the physical response of the original owner, instead he brought all of his original habits to ten percent. Even with the original owner's body neutralizing it, it didn't get much better.This is a great burden for a farmer, and he would rather not have it.

However, when he thought that his skills had also been brought over, he was sincerely grateful.Otherwise, with the original owner's long-term lack of food and clothing, his sallow and emaciated body, how could he knock down a strong man?He was really taken care of by others, and he had no place to cry.

Considering this point, Fang Tianlin could only admit that he was not used to eating.

Seeing the last person put down the bowls and chopsticks, Mrs. Chen started to clear the table. Her eldest daughter also stepped forward to help, but no one else moved.Fang Tianlin extended his hand halfway, then turned back.He has just arrived here and doesn't know the situation of this house, so it's better to listen more, watch more, talk less and move less, so as not to make too many mistakes.

"Fourth daughter-in-law, tell the third daughter-in-law about the rules of our family, so as not to conflict with each other." Father Shen went out after speaking, and several adult men in the family walked slowly to the edge of the field.This section of the road is considered to be a walk, just to digest food, so as not to feel uncomfortable in the stomach when working.

Liu Cheng enthusiastically tugged at Fang Tianlin, and while he was not paying attention, she even winked at him: "Sister-in-law San, I'll go to the pier with you to wash clothes, just in time to tell you about our family's rules." At the end, she added a sentence , "I brought the saponins, you don't need to take any more."

Fang Tianlin is helpless, it's okay for others to sneer at him, but he can't put down face if he treats him nicely, right?I had to go back to the room, take off the bed sheet, and replace it with another one from the cabinet.As soon as he spread it out, he noticed the big difference between the two sheets.The one just replaced was obviously specially made for the newlyweds. It was new and brightly colored.The newly replaced one was obviously old and faded after being used for a long time.

Fang Tianlin had nothing to complain about, the original owner's family was even poorer, and the whole family lived in two thatched huts, without even a room of their own.The Shen family is already very good in this area, at least they can be regarded as a middle-level farmer.

Seeing that Shen Jiahe couldn't be woken up after all this tossing, Fang Tianlin checked again worriedly, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, he closed the door, followed Liu Cheng with a large basin of clothes, and walked out of the village.

Father Shen has four sons and two daughters. Brothers Shen Jiahe and Shen Jiaxi are fraternal twins, and they don't look as similar as identical twins.The two brothers had a good relationship since they were young, Shen Jiahe was a little slow to react, it wasn't obvious when they were young, but as they got older, they would be able to see it after getting along for a while.

Shen Jiahe's appearance was naturally disliked by others.Most people's children are not willing to marry, and the Shen family doesn't like those widows.Such delays come and go, even Shen Jiaxi has been married for two years, and Shen Jiahe didn't find a suitable one.

Until this year, Shen Jiahe entered the twentieth mark, and he was still not a daughter-in-law, which made Father Shen and Mrs. Zhang so anxious that their mouths were blistering.It was not easy to talk about Fang Tianlin, a capable daughter-in-law who looks honest and won't bully his slow-tempered third son.Who would have imagined that there would be such a big difference between what I heard and what I saw with my own eyes.

The hearts of the two elders are hanging, this daughter-in-law is not easy to control at first sight.In the early morning, he even yelled at them, which shocked the two elders.They had never even heard of such a bold new daughter-in-law.Let the third son pay attention later, and don't let his wife manipulate him. Doing this would be contrary to their original intention.

Mrs. Zhang's two daughters were married long ago. Among the four daughter-in-laws, the first two are female, and the last two are, by coincidence, male.The same is a daughter-in-law, there are still other differences between men and women.It's not easy for Liu Cheng to pull two sister-in-laws casually, but when facing Fang Tianlin, she doesn't have to be so particular.

Along the way, Fang Tianlin was surprised at everything.It's just that after the freshness wears off, I feel sad.There are houses with mud walls and thatched roofs everywhere, and a small number of them live directly in thatched houses. There are only a handful of mud and tile houses that can live in them, let alone blue brick and tile houses, which can only be enjoyed by landlords and wealthy landlords.

Fang Tianlin doesn't know about other places, at least Guangyan Village where the Shen family is located has no real landlords.Even the richest households have to go to the fields in person when they are busy.

Fang Tianlin is from the south and has never lived in the north.Seeing that the mud wall and the ground are all yellow, he is not used to it.I thought to myself, shouldn't this be the Loess Plateau?

Along the way, Liu Cheng was talking and Fang Tianlin was listening.Fang Tianlin accepted what Liu Cheng thought of and said, and he was not in a hurry to deal with it.

Seeing that he was about to leave the village, Fang Tianlin wondered why he was not there yet.Is it too far to walk for so long to do laundry?There is a well in the center of Mingming Village, but no one is seen washing there. Could it be that the well is just for drinking water?

Fang Tianlin was new here, so he didn't speak easily.

"Here we are, sister-in-law three, let's hurry up, we're late today, and I don't know if there is any room left." Liu Cheng and Fang Tianlin greeted each other, then ran towards the pier with a big basin of dirty clothes in their arms.

Basin and clothes are not light, and Liu Cheng can't run fast at all, Fang Tianlin can catch up with a little speed.

"This is the port?" Fang Tianlin's face was full of doubts.

He thought that if it wasn't a river, it should at least be a ditch with a lot of water.What is the situation now?Not to mention the amount of water, the color of the water alone made him lose interest in doing laundry.There is no industrial pollution here, shouldn't the water be crystal clear?Why does the water here have a muddy color?Although it is not as muddy as muddy water, it looks dirty!Clothes are washed in such water, how much difference is there between washing them and not washing them?

Fang Tianlin looked around and finally let him find the answer.Many girls and daughters-in-law wash on this pier first, and then go to a smaller pier upstream to rinse.It is estimated that some measures were taken there to settle the water, at least at a glance from a distance, at least there is no earth color.

"Sister-in-law three, come here quickly, there is still a place here." Liu Cheng put down the big wooden basin, seeing Fang Tianlin still standing there, hurriedly beckoned him over.

Fang Tianlin no longer hesitated, stepped down the steps, and walked to Liu Cheng's side.

Although they are all daughters-in-law, there are still other differences between men and women.Under normal circumstances, each is based on one side of the port and does not touch each other. Only when there is really no place, will they cross the boundary.

When the people around saw a new daughter-in-law coming, they wanted to make a few jokes and booed and laughed a few times.Unexpectedly, Fang Tianlin was not at all shy and overwhelmed like a new daughter-in-law, he didn't say anything openly, but also straightened his back, quite majestic.Looking at the skinny person, for some reason, it makes people feel that this person is stronger than the strong laborer at home.The big guy didn't say a few words, then automatically quieted down and started whispering to his companions.

Liu Cheng took out the saponins and handed them to Fang Tianlin: "Sister-in-law, I don't have much saponins on hand, so you can use them sparingly." After that, he grabbed a handful of plant ash and sprinkled it on the clothes that needed to be washed, and began to rub, If it is too dirty, just use a little soap locust to clean it.

This is Fang Tianlin's real understanding of the Shen family's situation. Even the saponins are used in calculations, and the family is considered poor to a certain extent.However, the Shen family like this belongs to the middle-level peasant household in Guangyan Village, and there are not a few people who are poorer than their family.

Fang Tianlin was lucky that he could do the laundry by himself, otherwise, if he was a man who was spoiled by his family since he was a child, he would be caught blind.

It’s just that there used to be soap and washing powder, and he only dealt with it for a few years when he was a soldier.After retiring from the army, except for washing underwear, I rely on the washing machine for everything else. It is a bit unfamiliar to use the sticky locust at first.He watched Liu Cheng and the skilled movements of the people nearby for a while, and then he started to toss by himself.

The main thing is to understand the usage of saponins. There is no need to be taught by plant ash, just sprinkle it on and rub it a few times to remove the contaminated dust.

This is also because the farmhouse is hardly stained with oily fish, and it can be washed clean without strong decontamination products. In modern times, such simple methods are difficult to work.

Everything else is fine, the sheets were stained with that thing, and they were washed in public, even the thick-skinned Fang Tianlin felt a little awkward.He glanced around calmly, and when no one was paying attention to him, he smeared soap locusts to quickly remove the traces left by last night.

Although Liu Cheng didn't see any evidence, she didn't have to guess. If she brought new sheets to wash, it must be what happened last night.Not only him, but also the other people who came here were like a mirror in their hearts, winking and talking and laughing in low voices.

Fang Tianlin was not annoyed either, this level of jokes did not affect him at all.He thought for a while, and called Liu Cheng awkwardly: "Fourth brother and sister, this is the only place in the village where you can wash clothes, is there any other place?"

"Well, there are two wells in the village, and one of them is almost out of water. Even if there is water, it is very mixed and can only be used for watering vegetables. Only the well in the middle of the village is drinkable, and the whole village depends on it for drinking water. , the village head and the elders have all said that even if the well water is surplus, it cannot be used to wash clothes." Speaking of this, Liu Cheng looked melancholy, "Every family supplies water according to the population, and there are special people to look at it. That’s it, I don’t worry about having an extra bucket, I haven’t showered for a few days, so I can only wipe myself with a damp cloth.”

"Third sister-in-law, don't mind the attitude of the second sister-in-law. They feel sorry for the big basin of water. The water at home is used up, so they have to go all the way to pick it up. You have also seen the water in this river. It is not very clean. Long-term drinking is not good for your health, and people will not draw water here unless it is absolutely necessary."
