After making dumplings for the first time, there must be room for improvement. Shi Xiaorui decided not to say anything about it. She had to encourage her to practice more.

After a hot and noisy meal of dumplings, the winter solstice is a complete past.

However, although Shi Xiaorui is successful here, the winter solstice of this year in his father's family is very lonely.

No way. Shi Qing hasn't come back yet. Shi's father and Wang's mood is as cold as the north wind outside. Shi Qianqian's symptoms haven't improved. Even with a spoon, they still eat a bowl of dumplings. Liuxuxu sits at the next table, watching their old couple's faces eat with fear.

A meal seemed to be a punishment. After finishing the dumpling, catkins quickly stood up, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and took the opportunity to hide in the kitchen.

While Shi Wang did not come to the kitchen, catkins secretly scooped out a ladle of hot water from the pot and mixed it into the dishwashing water.

At this time, the water is freezing to the bone, but in order not to let Shi Wang find an excuse to scold, liuxuxu can only endure the cold and wash dishes with ice water. Before winter, her hands are often red with cold. If this goes on, she will definitely have frostbite this year.

Liuxuxu was in a hurry. She finally washed the dishes and set them up before Shi Wang came in. Shi Wang looked at her suspiciously and always felt that something was wrong. However, because she didn't see anything, liuxuxu escaped.

Shi Wang came to inform LiuXu of another job: "all the dishes have been washed? Just in time, you go to wash the clothes that Qian Qian changed yesterday, so you don't have to pile them up. After that, you don't have to change the clothes that are dirty. "

Catkins simply want to pour hot water in the pot on Shi Wang's face.

However, after Shi Qing left, her life has been difficult. She has been patient with her temper. After enduring it, she squeezed out a word from her throat: "good."

Shi Wang's work for catkins was finished, and he left with high spirit.

Liuxuxu went to Shi Qianqian's room. Fortunately, Shi Wang was very diligent, so Shi Qianqian didn't save much dirty clothes. Liuxuxu was taken away. So many clothes can't be washed at home, only by the stream near the village.

By this time, it was late, almost dark, and the wind was cold. We could only see the lights of every family in the village from a distance. No one came out to wash clothes at this time.

Catkins hold the basin and soak the dirty clothes one by one into the cold water. Even if she doesn't touch the water directly, her hands soon lose their temperature and become cold.

She certainly can't wash the clothes. After soaking them in the stream one by one, she lingered for a while beside the stream. Feeling that she had rubbed enough time, she went back with the basin.

The clothes soaked in water became more and more heavy. Catkins were deep and shallow. Because she wanted to go back quickly, she walked in a hurry. As a result, when she was about to enter the house, she stepped into the pit and fell to the ground.

More than that, a basin of wet clothes also spilled half on the ground.

You don't have to look at the catkins to make sure that the clothes are covered with dust.

With such clothes, she must not be able to pass the Shi Wang's pass. She may not be able to see the stains clearly, but such obvious dust must be accurate.

Catkin's reason broke down.

She simply threw away her hand and threw the whole basin of clothes on the ground. She chopped a few feet on it, but she didn't get rid of her breath. She just jumped up and jumped on the clothes for a long time, almost sprained her feet.

Waiting for this anger to vent, the clothes are also trampled out of shape. If you don't rub them properly, you can't wash them clean.

Liuxuxu looks at the dirty clothes on the ground. Without doing anything, she shoves the clothes back into the basin, runs back to the stream, and pours them all in.

Looking at the clothes drifting slowly along the current, catkins calmed down and went home with an empty basin.

When she got home, there was no doubt that her own room and Shi Qianqian's room were dark. Only Shi's father's and Shi Wang's rooms were still lighted by candlelight.

It's not that the poor family can't afford to light candles. It's just a small way for Shi Wang to vent his depression.

A few days ago, a craftsman came to his home. He said that he was entrusted by Shi Xiaorui to make something called huokang for his family. He said that he had agreed with Shi Xiaorui that he would not charge them any money and would install it for free.

Then, after hearing that only one can be made for free, but if it is cheaper to make another one, Shi Wang decided to let the craftsman make one in his own room and his father's room, but did not mention Shi Qianqian and catkins.

When the hot Kang is ready, the catkins are filled with firewood. Although it looks like it's going to cook the people on it, I don't know how to design it. The people sitting on the hot Kang just feel warm, and they don't look like they will be cooked beyond the temperature.

After one attempt, father Shi hardly gets out of bed except for his work. He also sets a small table on the hot Kang, which he can't wait to eat all day.

Shi Wang, of course, was also touched by Shi's father's light and enjoyed this treatment together.

Although she felt the benefits of the hot Kang, she wanted to make one for Shi Qianqian, but the hot Kang was too expensive. Shi Wang thought about it for a long time, but she gave it up. Anyway, when there was no hot Kang before, didn't winter pass like this?

However, in order to compensate her daughter, she and father Shi now have a hot Kang. They don't need to cover so many quilts. The extra quilts are distributed to Shi Qianqian.

As for catkins, of course, there is nothing. All the treatment is the same. If she can be promoted, it is estimated that Wang Shi's brain is burnt out.

Not only did not improve the treatment at all, but as Shi Qing disappeared for more and more time, Shi Wang's patience with her became less and less. Although Shi's father didn't say it, he obviously didn't like her.

Liuxuxu of course knows that no one in the family welcomes her, but she has no choice, because her own family has no place for her.

When she goes home now, not only does she have to have an extra mouth to eat at home, but also she has to make room for him since she got married. The more people in her family, the less chance she will be able to go back.

What's more, in the eyes of the villagers, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. How many mothers-in-law really like their daughter-in-law? Even if the stone Wang's how to toss her, it can also be considered in reason, after so many years, and so on oneself also when the mother-in-law is not OK?

Catkins throw the basin on the ground, the wooden basin is still a bit heavy, and it makes a light sound when it hits the ground.
