"Aren't we the only six households who come to wash clothes today? Why is there an extra person behind?"
"Oh, I didn't find out if you didn't tell me, is this man a man or a brother?"
"Are you stupid? This is clearly the shabby Li Jin!"
"He's holding a basin and a mallet. Could it be that he's going to do the laundry too?"
"Who knows? Didn't his husband give birth recently? I didn't see it. Li Jin still loves her."
Li Jin followed them neither far nor near, even though he had long legs, each step covered a large distance.
But at this moment, to avoid suspicion between men and women, it is not good to follow too closely.
There is a river at the top of the village, the water depth is about to a grown man's knee.
There are small stones and crabs at the bottom of the water, which is crystal clear. Girls and brothers in the village usually come here to wash clothes.
But people in the village also have a verbal agreement, that is, six families go to wash each time.
After all, it is a river, and there are upstreams and downstreams. Those who wash clothes in the upstream will take advantage of it.
For the sake of fairness, everyone occupies six stone piers and takes turns washing clothes at the most upstream stone piers.
When Li Jin arrived by the river, these people had already taken their positions.
They saw that Li Jin really came to do the laundry, and the daughter-in-law at the end took her basin to the stone pier of the daughter-in-law in front.
"Li Jin, you really came to do the laundry, I'll give you my space!"
After finishing speaking, she said to the woman next to her, "Sister, I don't have any clothes today, so I will squeeze with you. I will finish washing in a while."
"to make."
Li Jin didn't know that there were these customs in the village. Seeing this scene, he could only touch the tip of his nose and thank him.
The daughters-in-law and girls listened to his words, one by one, while doing the laundry quickly, they looked at Li Jin quietly.
In fact, there is Qin Muwen in this laundry place, but not today.
There are so many households in the village, and everyone arranged them in order.
It's just that Li Jin couldn't bear to put the dirty clothes for a long time, so he came to wash them by himself without asking Qin Muwen.
Li Jin has never used a mallet to wash clothes, and the saponins of this era are still a bit different from modern soaps, so when he first started washing, Li Jin's movements were a little clumsy.
The unmarried girls were embarrassed to talk to Li Jin, and each of them only sneaked a glance at Li Jin occasionally.
The married daughters-in-law also started to say hello to Li Jin, but it was inconvenient to say anything later.
After all, under the background of this great era, men and women have to strictly abide by the defense.
This river is on the only way back to the village. The big man who pulled Li Jin back from the town in the morning with a bullock cart is now driving back, and the laundry man by the river looks familiar from a long distance away.
As he got closer, he became more familiar.
He looked more and more like Li Jin.
But he didn't dare to admit that Li Jin would come out to do the laundry?The sun is probably going to come out from the west.
So the ox cart passed by the river, and half a minute later, the big man turned back again.
He shouted loudly: "Li Jin, it's really you!"
Fortunately, Li Jin was not blind and recognized this person as the one who sent him back in the morning.
This person should be a good old man in the village, Li Jin labeled him in his heart.
"En." Li Jin replied.
The man tied the cow to the stone on the side of the road, walked to Li Jin's side by himself, and poked his head for a closer look.
Still doing laundry.
Not to mention, it looks pretty decent after washing.
Li Jin has always been expressionless, and washing clothes is not difficult, but ancient clothes have a lot of fabrics, so it is inconvenient to rub them with hands.
With soap locust and mallet, washing is more labor-saving.
Besides, he also watched costume dramas when he was young, so he just needs to get started slowly.
The big man was happy: "Oh, you really know how to wash clothes, I really hope that an artist can draw it for you, and then I will frame it and give it to your husband.
If you dare to bully him again in the future, let him threaten you with this painting. "
Li Jin: "..." Listen, these are all human words.
The big man looks about 24 to [-], and he is in the middle of his life. According to the urine nature of early marriage and early childbearing in ancient times, the children are probably ready for soy sauce.
Li Jin also used the water to look at his own appearance at first, and it was probably very similar to his appearance in his previous life.
But it is different from the mature and stable 29-year-old...
Just like Qin Muwen, with the vigor of a young man.Li Jin thought, his body is about seventeen or eighteen years old now.
Seeing that Li Jin was still washing clothes, the big man was overjoyed, and planned to appreciate it for a while, anyway, he sprained his ankle before, so he didn't bother to walk at the moment.
"Your husband gave birth? But gave birth to a child with a handle? You are so happy that you came out to wash clothes by yourself."
Li Jin frowned and said, "As long as father and son are safe."
That little doll looks so cute, no matter whether he is a boy or a brother, he is still the child of himself and the boy.
The big man was even happier: "You, Li Jin, have a son now, and you will be a father from now on, and you must be the pillar of the family.
I went to the market to sell firewood in the morning, so I didn't say a few words to you.
It's the same now. Before your mother died, she told her relatives' girl to be my brother's daughter-in-law. The two are married now. Our family will remember this matter. "
Li Jin nodded indistinctly. It turned out that this big man was not a good old man, but because Li Jin's family had a somewhat entangled relationship with his family, he was willing to help him like this.
"Before your mother left, she was most worried about you, so let me take care of you more.
But I can't chase after your ass all day long. Originally, I was thinking about your husband having a baby today and you still drinking outside. This is too much.
When I come back from the market, I must teach you a lesson.
Now it seems that you are much more sensible after becoming a father. "
Just at this moment, Li Jin also finished washing his clothes. He wrung out the water and put the clothes in the basin.
"Thank you for taking care of me before, I won't mess up again in the future."
The two walked back together, and the girl who had given up her seat to Li Jin had also finished her laundry.
After saying goodbye to her sisters, she also took the laundry tub and walked away quickly.
The big man beside him walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, frowning from time to time.
Li Jin stopped in his tracks, thinking that he still didn't know the name of this man.
As a result, a name came to mind - 'Li Zhuzi'.
You Li family name is really random.
Li Daniu, Li Zhuzi...
Li Jin thought that in the future, there might be names like Li Tiezhu.
"Brother Zhuzi, you sprained your ankle."
Li Zhuzi said: "It's okay, I'll clamp it with a wooden board when I go back, and then I can sleep well."
People in the village have a lot of their own earth recipes, which are simple and practical.
But Li Jin said, sit on a quick rock and I'll straighten your bones.
Li Zhuzi originally said that he didn't need to worry about it, but he stepped into the pit with his next foot, and now he gasped in pain.
If you don't straighten your bones, this leg will be useless.
Li Jin held his ankle, Li Daniu looked at Li Jin's knuckle-boned hand, and thought to himself, be good, this scholar is different from their bankers.
This hand looks more delicate than that girl's hand.
It's not feminine, it's just... This hand looks like that handwriting, and it's indescribably beautiful.
Li Zhuzi thought that when the family had money, they had to let their son study.
Look at Li Jin, although he didn't learn much ink, but his temperament is different from ordinary people.
Li Jin didn't have time to look at his hands. To be honest, these hands were the part of Li Jin's body that he was most satisfied with.
The ten fingers are as long as jade, each nail is as round as a shell, and there are no calluses in the palm of the hand. It looks like a pair of pampered hands.
Of course, I didn't practice calligraphy much.
Li Jin didn't say hello to Li Zhuzi, just found the right position, and shook his hands hard.
Li Zhuzi didn't make any mental preparations, and cried out in pain.
The girls who were washing clothes next to her looked up in surprise.
"What are you doing? Don't fight, fights are forbidden in our village!"
Li Zhuzi almost burst into tears, but he still replied with a hoarse voice.
"I didn't fight, I sprained my ankle, Li Jin set my bones."
Li Jin helped him to stand up: "Now step on the ground and walk around."
Li Zhuzi thought that stepping on the ground would cause that heart-wrenching pain.
As a result, Li Jin's bone-setting seemed to have cast a spell on him, and he lost all feeling at all.
Li Jin just looked at his expression and knew it was just right.
So I went back and washed my hands, and then picked up the laundry tub.
Li Zhuzi's bullock cart was next to him, he asked Li Jin to put the basin on it, and he and Li Jin walked beside him.
"What a boy, this bone-setting hand, even the doctors in the town's medical center are not as good as you."
Li Jin didn't say a word. What he is most good at is not bone setting, but surgery.
It's just that he took a half-year rest in surgery that year, and this skill has not been abandoned.
Li Zhuzi was grateful to Li Jin, and there were many words, he said: "Are you still going to take the exam for scholar this year? If you fail the exam, you can go to a medical clinic as an apprentice, so at least you can support your family.
Your husband is so thin and weak, he can't earn a few copper coins for sewing clothes for a day.
I heard that the treatment in the medical center is very good. If you become a doctor there, you can eat every meal in the medical center, and you will still have three taels of silver a month! "
Li Jin thought that he really had to think about making money to support his family.
According to Li Zhuzi, a doctor in this era can earn three taels of silver a month, that is three copper coins, or three thousand wen.
Then this dynasty was probably similar to the Qing Dynasty.
A copper plate is equal to one penny, and a penny is one thousand coins, which is equal to one tael of silver.
Li Jin asked: "Can a chicken be sold for forty yuan?"
Li Zhuzi said: "Yes, this is the price in the town. If you want to buy chickens to raise, you'd better buy them directly in the village. You can buy them from Li Daniu. You can get 35 Wen for free."
Li Jin nodded, then he probably has a certain understanding of the purchasing power of money in this era.
Thinking about the seven or eight pennies left at home, I guess I can only buy ten buns.
It's really too poor to uncover the pot.
The river was not far from the village, and Li Zhuzi and Li Jin were eloquently talking about ways to save money.
Anyway, he felt that Li Jin was enlightened now, and he knew that he felt sorry for Fu Lang, which was a good thing.
It was necessary for Li Jin to no longer be able to use money to buy wine.
If you earn more money, buy tiles and repair the house first.
Otherwise, it would be rainy in summer and windy in winter, how could a child be able to bear it.
By the way, the mortality rate of infants and young children in ancient times was simply too high, and every household had children who could not support them.
Leaving aside smallpox and chickenpox, it is a big problem to eat enough and eat well, and there is also the problem of whether to wear clothes.
Li Jin thought, he really had to pay attention to repairing the house first, otherwise after a period of rainy seasons, everything in the house would be moldy, which would be bad for the children.
Seeing that he listened to it, Li Zhuzi felt quite relieved.
It happened to be time for every family in the village to finish their farm work and eat. Someone just went to the market and knew that Li Zhuzi had hurt his foot. Now, seeing Li Zhuzi walking like flying, how can he look like a sprained foot?
"Li Zhuzi, did you make a lot of money today? Did you go to the medical clinic?"
Li Zhuzi laughed and said, "There is a miracle doctor by our side!"
Everyone: "???"
"Oh, I didn't find out if you didn't tell me, is this man a man or a brother?"
"Are you stupid? This is clearly the shabby Li Jin!"
"He's holding a basin and a mallet. Could it be that he's going to do the laundry too?"
"Who knows? Didn't his husband give birth recently? I didn't see it. Li Jin still loves her."
