Chapter 82
"Cousin, do you know the postcard?" Tang Xiaonan asked.
"What postcard?"
Chai Yuxiang asked perfunctorily, but she didn't even focus on chatting with her little cousin, and she didn't even have time to work.
After washing clothes, I had to sweep the floor and clean the furniture, decoct medicine for my grandfather, and I had to go to the vegetable market to pick up some vegetables and feed the chickens. Tang Laifeng raised a few chickens in the yard, which saved a lot of egg money every month. Most of the chicken food was picked up by Chai Yuxiang at the vegetable market.
Her father Chai Boliang does market management work, and the vegetable market is under the jurisdiction of Chai Boliang, so Chai Yuxiang can pick up a lot of vegetable leaves every time, enough for the chicken at home.
Chai Yuxiang, who is only eight years old, is already a good helper for Tang Laifeng. She is busy every day and has no time to care about postcards, such as petty bourgeoisie. She has never even heard of it.
Tang Xiaonan asked again, and then Chai Yuxiang realized, shook her head, "I haven't heard of it, what's the use of it? Can you eat it?"
While asking, Chai Yuxiang's hands did not stop and rubbed the clothes hard. The white foam became more and more rubbed, and some of them splashed on her body. Her small hands were frozen red and covered with frostbite. Chai Yuxiang seemed to have no idea of the pain, soaking in cold water without feeling, rubbing it quickly.
Tang Xiaonan was attracted by her swollen hands and couldn't help asking: "Cousin, why don't you burn hot water to wash clothes? How cold."
Chai Yuxiang widened her eyes as if she heard a fantasy, "Burn hot water? Xiaonan, what do you know? How can you use hot water to wash clothes? Washing your face and feet is not enough."
"Burn again after using it."
Tang Xiaonan didn't understand even more. Why didn't you burn it if you didn't have enough?
"You said it easy. Don't boil water and don't boil coal cakes? One coal cake can cook five bottles of water, and you can also boil a bowl of medicine. Five bottles of water are just enough for our family to use for a day. One coal cake a day is just right."
Chai Yuxiang settled the accounts with her little mouth, but fortunately Tang Xiaonan was an adult, otherwise she would have been confused. She didn't expect that Tang Laifeng's family would have to make plans for cooking coal cakes.
"What should I do if I cook?"
"Burn firewood, there are mountains nearby. My brother and I went to pick up firewood after school."
Chai Yuxiang washed her clothes and struggled to lift the wooden basin that was bigger than hers. Tang Xiaonan quickly helped, but was blocked by Chai Yuxiang, "You don't need to do it."
My cousin is very cute and is my uncle's dear, so how can I let my cousin work? Moreover, my cousin doesn't know anything, so it will only help you.
Tang Xiaonan looked at her eight-year-old cousin in shock, carried a large basin of clothes, staggered and walked a few steps, and got under the faucet, and began to clean the clothes. The movement was done in one go, which was more nimble than the adults.
She is only two years older than her.
But she is more capable than she was twenty-six years old in her previous life.
Tang Xiaonan felt a little ashamed.
I couldn't find out anything from Chai Yuxiang, so Tang Xiaonan went to pester her cousin Chai Wenhao again.
Chai Wenhao is ten years old and doesn't look like Tang Laifeng. Chai Yuxiang and Tang Laifeng can't help but look like each other, and they are very excited when speaking and doing things. Chai Wenhao is a little dull and smiles shyly when he sees people.
"What are you going to do, cousin?"
Chai Wenhao carried a basket and was about to go out. He smiled honestly, "Go and pick up some firewood."
The firewood at home is worth the most. When the customer comes today, my mother must cook more dishes, so he has to pick up some more.
"I'll go, too."
