People in the village usually use soapberry when taking baths, while wealthy families use pigpy. Spices are added to the pigpyberry, which can deodorize and leave fragrance after use.

The Zhang family also uses soapberry, and the fruits picked from the soapberry tree are made. It is not very common to use it in early summer, but it is better to have it than not.

I took a comfortable shower and changed my clothes. Although there were a lot of patches on the clothes, they had to be quite clean.

The evenings in the countryside are much cooler than during the day, and the heat dissipates. After taking a shower in early summer, I entered the room of Liu and Zhang Anmin on the right. At this time, Liu was lighting a kerosene lamp and sucking shoes.

"Are you finished taking a shower?" Liu said as he looked up, stretched out his hand to tidy up Chuxia's rolled-up clothes.

"Well, I've already put the dirty clothes in a bucket. Mom, are you making shoes for dad?" Chu Xia asked as she looked at the big soles in Liu's hand, and her little body flipped and climbed onto the bed.

"No, these shoes need to be made well and sold at the market in the town."

When Chu Xia saw that there were several pairs of soles that had not started working next to her.

In addition to taking care of the elderly and children, the heroes were the heroines. After living here for a while in the early summer, I realized how difficult it was for women in ancient times. In addition to taking care of the elderly and children, they also had to engage in a lot of housework, cooking, feeding chickens, picking mulberry leaves, weaving cloth, sucking shoes, etc., and also engaged in field labor with men.

Just like Liu, in addition to washing, cooking and cleaning, he also needs to weave cloth and embroidery during the day. The woven cloth not only sews clothes for his own home, but the rest are sold to the family to increase income, and at night, he has to make shoes and sew clothes.

The new pair of shoes worn by Liu's feet a few days ago. When I happened to see the production process in the early summer, I first had to build a bun. The bun was made of thick pieces made of rags or old cloth. Choose a flat wooden board, paste a layer of paper with paste, then paste the rags or old cloth layer by layer, paste four or five layers, remove the shade dry, draw the soles and uppers on the bun, cut them with scissors, put the soles and uppers, use awls, needles, etc. as tools to fix the buns together, put them into a sole known as a thousand-layer sole, put them on the uppers, and make a pair of shoes.

Liu made the shoes on her feet for several days before she finished them. Now, it will definitely take more time and effort to make shoes for adults.

"Mom, how much can a pair of shoes cost?"

"The shoes collected by our farmers can be sold for twenty cents per pair at the usual market price."

"That's the point?"

Liu speeds up his work, and he can consume less kerosene lamps after finishing it early. "It's already a lot, and sometimes the price is even lower."

This is obviously because the labor paid is not proportional to the harvest, Chu Xia thought to herself.

The sound of footsteps sounded outside the house. The two of them looked out at the same time and saw Zhang Anmin entering the house, bringing the door with his backhand, making a silence move, and taking out something from his arms. A fragrance swelled up.

"Wow, it's roasted sweet potatoes!"

"Look at what this is?" Zhang Anmin said as he took out two boiled eggs from his pocket.

Before Chuxia could scream, Liu pulled Zhang Anmin in his direction, "Did you get the eggs from home? These eggs are to be sold, and my mother counts them every day. If my mother knows, she won't say we."

"Don't worry, this is not our egg," Zhang Anmin replied.

"Where did you get the egg?"

"My sister Li's son is not going to marry a wife, and I didn't ask me to help make two cabinets. I just finished my meal and went to the village chief's house. When I came back, I passed by their house. In order to thank me, Sister Li insisted on giving it to me and asked me to bring it back for the girl to taste. I refused but accepted it." Zhang Anmin handed the two eggs to Chuxia, and then put the roasted sweet potatoes on the small table.

Early summer took the egg, swallowed, and before she could peel it, she seemed to have tasted the delicious taste of the egg. This egg is unusual in the farmhouse. Ordinary farmhouses are reluctant to eat eggs even if they raise chickens at home. After eating braised vegetables during this period, the egg is really mouth-watering, but she still looked at Liu, "Mom, can I eat this egg?"

"Eat, eat, eat," Liu looked at her eagerly and smiled.

Chu Xia picked up an egg and knocked it to the corner of the table. He peeled the eggshell with his hands three times and five times, revealing the smooth and tempting egg white. After biting it, the fragrance filled his mouth and felt full of happiness.

After Chuxia finished eating an egg and patted her belly with satisfaction, Zhang Anmin brought a glass of water. Seeing Chuxia enjoying her eating, a smile appeared on her honest face, "Eat slowly and don't choke, there is another one."

"I've eaten it, another egg girl, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes." In early summer, he handed the egg to Liu, hoping that Liu would try it too.

As the least popular daughter-in-law among the three daughters-in-law, Liu was often criticized by the old lady Cai, and her sister-in-law was often tripped by her two aunts. It was not her turn to eat delicious food and use. Chuxia saw it all. In her previous life, she did not realize the love from her parents because of her early death. When she traveled over, everything was so unhappy. But God still favored her and gave her a pair of parents who loved her. She put her heart in her heart. She slowly regarded them as real relatives.

"Mom won't eat it, I'll leave this egg for you to eat tomorrow."

"It won't be delicious tomorrow. Mom, you should eat it."

"Mom is not hungry."

"Or, you can eat this egg, Chuntao," Zhang Anmin said to Liu.

"What are my adults doing for eating this? The child is just when he grows up, so he will keep it for the child."

The remaining egg was finally left by Liu until the next day. Chuxia knew that Liu had eaten less supper, so she shouted that she couldn't finish roasting sweet potatoes. Liu finally ate the remaining half and took the eggs and the remaining sweet potatoes into the cupboard.

After eating sweet potatoes, I felt sleepy in the early summer. Although I had the mind of an adult, it was a child's body and energy was limited after all. After saying hello to my parents, I returned to my house.

The walls in the room were tied with ropes and hung with mugwort. The mugwort had a special smell and could be dewormed. In the early summer, he climbed onto the bed and lie down with his clothes. In the room next to him, Liu was still talking to Zhang Anmin while doing his life.

Liu looked at the shoes in his hand and must have been unable to finish tonight, so he put the shoes in the bamboo weaving with needles and threads and scissors, "Children's father, is your back better? Does it hurt? Why don't I go to the doctor's place to get some medicine tomorrow?"

He was injured in his back and did not have a good rest. He was still working these days, so where could he be better? However, Zhang Anmin didn't want to worry Liu, so he comforted him and said, "It's much better. Just wait until the busy days are over, and you'll have a rest."

"You lie down and lift your clothes and I'll look at your back."

"No need, nothing is good to look at."

Liu knew Zhang Anmin's temperament. Even if there was something wrong, he wouldn't say anything, so he just started to lift his clothes. When the clothes were lifted, it turned out to be a shocking piece of red, even a little more serious than before, "Children's father, are you?"
