Another World Baixin

On a cold winter morning, the crowing rooster sleeps late.Bai Xin got up, put on her clothes and shoes, opened the main door of the kitchen, and a gust of cold wind came in.Looking up at the sky, the sky does not look gloomy, and the possibility of rain today is relatively small.The water was drawn from the well, and the water was warm. I wiped my teeth with green salt, rinsed my mouth, washed my face, and my whole body was refreshed.

Bai Xin took a rake, a rope, a sickle and a basket, and went to the back mountain.Looking for a mountain top with many pine trees, you will see fallen leaves and dead branches all over the place. With a light brush with a nail and rake, a thick layer will be formed.It was also because Bai Xin came early that he could quickly get a large bundle of firewood.Villagers often have to go up the mountain to cut firewood, collect dead leaves and branches to go back to the fire, and they are reluctant to use large pieces of dead wood—one can burn for a long time, so the focus of collection is what falls on the ground.

The straw harvested by the Bai family is basically used to make beds in winter—whether it is used for sleeping people or for domestic animals. The sweet potato vines are usually freshly harvested and then chopped up and mixed with other materials to feed the animals. The main thing is to burn more potato stalks, but cattle like to eat bean stalks, so some of them should be left for cattle to eat (the cows in the village are raised and used by several families in turn).Ever since Zheng discovered that Bai Xin's hands and feet had become more diligent, she began to work early every day, so she entrusted him with the task of collecting firewood.When the weather is hot, cut off the shrubs, dry them, and burn them—although it’s a bit troublesome, but you can get a lot at one time; downhill.

Carrying firewood down, Bai Xin collected food to feed the chickens and ducks while walking. He was quite leisurely alone. He actually remembered something he heard in his previous life: it was said that there was a middle-aged woman in his hometown who had a bad lumbar spine or a bad back. I went to the hospital, but the doctor at the time told her: "You are lack of exercise, you need to exercise more." Yi sprayed on the spot: "I am a farmer, I am so busy farming at home every day, this is not enough exercise Ah?! I think it’s overexercising!”

Because of getting up early every day and having a lot of things to do, Bai Xin didn't twist her body and make gestures blindly for a while, and would laugh at herself: Doing so much work is not considered excessive exercise.

Bai Xin went back to Bai's house first, the firewood on his back was tightly tied, and when he loosened the rope, there was a pile of firewood, and his heart was full when he saw it.Afterwards, I rushed to Lin's house to feed the chickens and ducks, cleaned the chicken coop, added soil, and replaced the grass nest. After a good meal, I returned to Bai's house, just in time for dinner.

The winter breakfast has hot sweet potato porridge. The newly dug sweet potatoes are cut into random pieces, and a few handfuls of rice are added to cook the porridge. There is a pot of rice soup, and the sweet potatoes and rice sink to the bottom of the pot.In order to prevent Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Jiang from secretly scooping up the rice at the bottom of the pot, after the porridge was cooked, she kept stirring it with a large iron spoon until the water, sweet potatoes and rice were evenly mixed together, and no one could get out the dry food. .

In Huanyang Town, there is neither snow nor ice in winter.What did you hear, huh?It would be great if it wasn't cold in winter; but the cold wind blows on the sea from time to time, the sky is as warm as spring if there is no wind, and the sky is as cold as frost and snow when the wind blows.I don't sweat much at this time, and I have to go to the hut several times after drinking a big bowl of sweet potato and rice soup.

Zheng thinks that no one can fish out the thick porridge, because he has not met the current Bai Xin.In his previous life, he went to a construction site to carry large bags of cement and paint, and he did hard work; the contractor asked his wife to cook for the workers, and the woman was very stingy and reluctant to use the ingredients. Steamed buns are not hungry either.Bai Xin found a way by himself: slowly scoop a spoonful of porridge from the bottom of the pot, stick the iron spoon tightly to the side of the pot, carefully tilt it to let the soup flow down, and quickly buckle the spoon when there is not much soup left. To the side of the pot, the rice soup is squeezed out along the gap between the spoon and the side of the pot, leaving rice in the spoon and a pot of bland porridge.Bai Xin was complacent for a long time, until she was discovered by the woman; the woman was also ruthless, and it was enough to stir the rice for about ten minutes, but she was stunned for more than half an hour, and she stayed on the sidelines, staring at Ren Sheng. meal.

In such a comparison, the Zheng family is not bad, and Bai Xin took advantage of the loophole.He was the only one like this, so everyone can still eat well.As a result, Bai Baohua never gave him a good face, every time he saw him, it seemed that he had done something to sorry her.Bai Xin was annoyed, so she told Jiang's method.Jiang's was obedient, and quietly fed the children, but she herself ate the same as Zheng's and Fu's.Because of the high status of the old man, the boss, and Wan Chunhui (Bai Baoyuan went out to work again after the full moon banquet), the Zheng family served them as soon as the rice was cooked; Hua these four people eat a lot of water every morning.One day, Mrs. Zheng saw that it was still the same, so she scolded Mrs. Fu for not being able to cook (Ms. Fu is a good cook, and the Bai family has always let her cook, and Mrs. Jiang cooks the fire); My stomach is angry.

Today, after breakfast, we have to clean up. It's the Chinese New Year soon.Although the Bai family has many rooms and the front and back yards are quite large, it is not a big problem if there are many people in the family.Mrs. Zheng ordered in the middle, hugging Ah Fu Bai Hexing who liked to sleep, and put on a posture like an official, whoever called to wash it had to go - of course, the well water was not very cold.Mrs. Zheng sat in the lobby and ordered the juniors around, but she couldn't stand it after sitting for a while.why?Going to pee!It's all about breakfast.

When the Nie family built this house, their family was in a good position and they had enough money. After the soil layer on the ground was compacted, a layer of stone slabs was laid on it.Now it's cheaper for the Bai family, and it's very convenient to clean the floor.There are two or three small stone pillars standing in the middle of each window to prevent people from climbing in, and a wooden window panel is opened outward, which can be directly poured into the window for washing without dismantling.

Bai Baoli and the girls were dismantling the bed, and the treasure money sleeping alone was also being dismantled, so Bai Xin went to help Bao Qian.The bed was taken out to dry first, and the bed board underneath was exposed. It was made up of several long wooden boards of similar length and width. They were not nailed together and could be taken out for cleaning at any time.

This kind of bed is to make a large frame with four-legged support pillars, and evenly embed several crossbars in the middle, and finally put the cut planks along the longitudinal direction on the crossbars and snap them into the grooves at the head and tail of the bed.A long strip of wood does not need to be provided by a thick and old tree, it can be cut out after a few years of growth.It's just that if there is no thick cushion on it, it will make a "squeak" sound when you turn over while sleeping.Imagine, on a summer night, a young couple watched the stars and the moon after dinner, and were about to have a child-making exercise, and the result...

One morning, the Bai family was busy coming in and out, the yard was full of washed items, and the water in the two wells in the front patio was greatly reduced.After washing the wooden boards with the well water in the front yard, and waiting for the boards to dry, there is a white layer of salt stains on the top. It is really salty after a taste, but the salt produced in this way is not edible.When she first lived here in the early years, Mrs. Zheng used the salt from the well water to cook. After eating, Mr. Bai was the first to fall down, so scared that Mrs. Zheng almost fell after him.

The whole family has been busy for a long time, and they have food at noon.It's better than the morning. There are steamed sweet potatoes.Otherwise, adding sauerkraut to porridge is equivalent to losing weight plus losing weight. This is one of the reasons why Bai Xin likes to go to Lin's house. There are extra meals!

Speaking of Lin's house, seeing that the Bai's house was almost cleaned up, Bai Xin sneaked to the Lin's house. Although Uncle Lin would not come back for the New Year, he had to help him clean up the house, otherwise I would be really sorry for the various benefits that Uncle Lin provided. .The main residence of the Lin family has the same style as the Chang's house, with two rooms at the back, two rooms on the left and one on the left, and a long hall at the front.Lin Xun lived in only two rooms by himself, and the other two rooms were empty, so there was no need to clean them.

One of the two rooms, which Bai Xin had entered, was a reception room, a bit like a study room, with no books but a desk.Before entering Lin Xun's bedroom, Bai Xin hesitated.Even if the bedroom is unlocked, and Uncle Lin entrusts him with the care of the house, it is always inappropriate to enter the room of a grown man without consent.Therefore, Bai Xin didn't go in in the end, and he didn't find a list that the author prepared for him recording Bai Xin's birth to the present!Pity.

After the cleaning comes the big shopping.I live frugally on weekdays, and just waiting for the New Year, I must make a few meals.The villagers picked up the food early to pay taxes and sell the food, and calculated how much money they had on hand, and waited until December 27 to go to the town to buy new year's goods.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Bai Laoer, Bai Baoyuan, Qin Jian, and Mei Ziyuan went home to celebrate the New Year.Compared with Bai Baoyuan's robust spirit, Bai Laoer's black and thin body is wrapped in a shabby and messy cotton robe, and he can go begging directly!Baoshu was so scared that he hid behind Bai Xin, and the Erfang family was heartbroken to see it.

Mrs. Zheng also felt uncomfortable, so she hurriedly asked people to cook food and boil water for bathing, and the family moved to the backyard.However, while Chef Fu was going to the kitchen, he couldn't help saying sourly: "Second brother is so busy, the clothes are so dirty that he doesn't wash them, it frightens the child."

At this time, Bai Xin was already obediently squatting in the courtyard to cut the cauliflower, cutting it into small pieces first and then washing it; Zheng looked left and right and didn't find anything convenient, so he picked up a small cauliflower and threw it on Fu's head: " Hurry up and cook! I'm so hungry, I want to starve my son or your son!"

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Bai Baoyuan quickly stopped Mrs. Fu, complaining, "Hurry up, Mu, son, I'm so hungry."

While eating, Bai Er Er had already taken a shower and changed into clean clothes. Bai Xin secretly opened his sleeves curiously and touched them. There was only a layer of skin left on the outside of the bones.Bai Xin blushed and covered his sleeves back, but the person involved didn't mind.

After the meal, Bai Laoer handed Zheng eight hundred copper coins on the spot, and Zheng accepted it with a calm face.When he returned to his room, he took out another 650 yuan and gave it to Jiang.After receiving the money in surprise, Jiang asked him, "So much? I thought it would be nice if you could save three hundred."

Bai Qishun smiled smugly and said: "Bao Yuan is lazy and does little work. The foreman wouldn't let him continue to do it. I asked the foreman to hand over the unfinished work to me. The foreman is very good. Tell me, the wages I get for the things I do for Baoyuan are also counted on my head! If it hadn’t been for Baoyuan to come back for a long time in the middle, I could still get a few more money.”

When Jiang heard the words, she couldn't hold back and cried loudly, and was afraid of being heard outside, so she tightly covered her mouth.Bai Lao Er hurriedly comforted her and kept silent.
