Chapter 59: The body and skin are affected by the parents
When she heard her daughter's heart-wrenching cry, she regretted it in her heart. She shouldn't have used so much strength. No, she shouldn't have hit her. She was still so young.
She stood up and was about to go out to see her daughter, but Old Mrs. Zhou motioned for her to sit down while she went to see what was going on.
Old Mrs. Zhou looked around at the door and saw San Ya holding Si Ya sitting on a rock by the river and talking.
Seeing grandma coming over, Zhou Mingshu carefully reminded her, "Remember our little secret."
Zhou Minghua nodded to show that she understood.
Old Mrs. Zhou walked over, hugged her little granddaughter into her arms, and coaxed her softly, "My dear, does it still hurt?"
Zhou Minghua had tears in his eyes, but he was shaking his head like a rattle.
"Come on, your mother is no longer angry, let's go home."
Zhou Mingshu followed behind, and Xiao Minghua leaned over and gave her a big smile.
After returning home, Feng took her daughter to look around, and finally couldn't help but take off her pants to look at her buttocks. The red handprints were clearly visible.
"Si Ya, tell me if it still hurts."
Zhou Minghua's head was still shaking like a rattle.
Seeing that her daughter was silent and not as lively as before, she turned her face away, not daring to let her daughter see her tears.
Zhou Minghua ate the candy in her mouth. It became sweeter and sweeter, and her saliva flowed a lot. This candy was so delicious that it seemed to make her forget all her sorrows. As long as she kept the little secret with her third sister, she would have more candy to eat in the future.
Those porcelain bottles have been moved to the middle of the yard by Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi. After they are scalded with hot water and dried, they can be bottled.
Zhou Mingshu was lighting a fire and putting a large pot full of water in it.
The process of hot porcelain bottles is indispensable. Today she returned home early, so she could bottle all the gardenia juice, and then bottle the mugwort juice tomorrow.
Two days is more than enough time to get everything done, so get started!
Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi carried the long table in their home to the yard and placed the washed porcelain bottles on it to dry.
Zhou Minghua stayed in Feng's arms for a while but couldn't stay there any longer. He looked at A Niang's face, slowly left her arms and walked towards the chicken coop.
It’s more interesting to watch the chicks.
After a while, Zhou Minghua forgot the pain he had just felt. He squatted outside the chicken coop, carrying grass to feed the chicks. He was very well behaved.
After watching for a while and seeing that her daughter was so well behaved, Mrs. Feng moved a stool to the wooden basin. She had to scald all the porcelain bottles with hot water and then wipe them dry with hot cotton cloth. It would take a while to do this.
The two large pots in the kitchen were boiling water. Old Mrs. Zhou picked up a few large pieces of firewood from the wall and stuffed them into the stove, so that she didn't have to guard the stove door all the time.
The job of washing the porcelain bottles was given to her granddaughters. She picked up the vegetable basket and started picking vegetables. There were some small fish in the basin, which she would coat with flour and fry later. There was also a bigger one, and she wondered whether she should braise it.
The weather was good today, so they boiled two large pots of hot water. Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi thought about washing their hair together so that it would be easier in the evening.
I asked the young aunt next to me if she wanted to wash.
Feng looked at her daughter and agreed. Even if she didn't wash herself, she would have to wash her daughter later.
She was sweating all over from crying just now, so I'll take this opportunity to give her a bath.
Seeing that several people needed to wash their hair, Zhou Mingqin took a few soap beans from the main room, crushed them, put them into a small ceramic pot, and put it on a small stove to boil water.
The boiled water is the soap water they use to wash their hair, and can also be used to wash clothes. It is pure natural and pollution-free, and has a good cleaning effect.
If it weren't so difficult to cook, they wouldn't beat clothes with a mallet every day.
Half an hour later, the hot water in the two large pots was ready.
Several people in the house each brought a basin and scooped water to wash their hair.
Pour the remaining water in the pot into a wooden basin, add cold water and continue to boil.
Zhou Mingqin took a filter cloth, filtered out the soapnut water, gave some to each person, and started washing their hair.
In ancient times, women had longer hair, which was more difficult to wash, so Old Mrs. Zhou put down her work and came over to help.
The hair soaked in soapnut water looked black and shiny, filling a whole basin.
A group of people were busy washing their hair. Zhou Mingshu was watching from the side and found it very interesting. There were some remaining soapberry peels on the table.
She remembered that not only soap beans have a cleansing effect, but there is also something called soapberry, which also has a cleansing effect.
It is impossible to use only lard to make soap, as the cost would be very high. You can try finding more soap beans and soapberries. These things are pure natural plants without any side effects, and are perfect for making soap.
"Don't just stand there, go get some water and wash your hair. You'll be busy these past two days, and you'll have to harvest the crops in a few days. You won't have time to tidy yourself up by then."
After Old Lady Zhou said this, Zhou Mingshu finally realized that when she went to the town these two days, she noticed that the rice on the roadside was time to be harvested, and those who planted it earlier were already harvesting it.
"Okay, I'll wash it now."
The water in the pot is warm, just right for adding soapnut water.
After untying his braids, Zhou Mingshu immersed all his hair in it and rubbed it. After a while, a lot of foam appeared.
It's a completely different feeling compared to shampoo.
If it weren't for the trouble of boiling soapnut water in advance, she would want to wash her hair every day.
Her entire head was immersed in the water, and the warm water wrapped around her scalp, sweeping away the fatigue of several days.
The faint smell of soapberries in the water is also very pleasant.
After washing his hair and drying it, Zhou Mingshu returned to the room, took out a small mirror and looked at his forehead. The scab there had fallen off, revealing pink new flesh. It felt like a scar was about to form!
She quickly applied the growth factor.
"Grandma, I might get a scar on my forehead, can you give me a bangs cut?"
Old Mrs. Zhou helped Zhou Mingqi wring out his hair, then dried her hands and came over to take a look.
She brushed Zhou Mingshu's forehead with her rough fingers, her eyes dark, and then she sighed, "Okay, I'll get the scissors."
Zhou Mingshu certainly doesn't want to get scars, but this tender new flesh can't stand the sun's exposure. It's also good to have bangs so that when the scar is covered with a patch, others won't be able to see it.
Old Mrs. Zhou combed her granddaughter's hair, selected some long hair, aligned it with her eyebrows, cut it off little by little, and trimmed it at the end.
Zhou Mingqi, who was watching from the side, had red eyes, as if it would hurt to have his hair cut.
"Second sister, why are you crying? It doesn't hurt to get your hair cut. It's a good opportunity to change your outfit. I feel like I'm cuter."
"Huh, you silly girl."
Zhou Mingqi sniffed. San Ya didn't understand anything, but he really felt sorry for her. Her body and hair were given by her parents, and she was hit on the head by someone and got a scar. In the end, she needed to cut her hair to cover the scar. It was really miserable.
However, the perpetrator was no longer around, so she couldn't make any comments.
