"Aiya, it's only been a few days since I last came back. The house is full of dust. Little Jia, stay in the small courtyard for a while. I'll let out some air before coming in!”
"Oh, Mother, you go ahead. I'll be in the courtyard!”
This small courtyard was the first place I came to in this foreign world. That day, I only took a closer look at that room. I didn't take a closer look at the other places.
Now that I have time, I can take a good look at my home.
The courtyard was not big. Entering from the gate was a small courtyard with a courtyard of more than 30 square meters. There was a well near the wall in the courtyard. There was nothing planted in the courtyard, but the ground was paved with bluestone slabs. It was very clean. Not far from the well, there were piles of sundries, such as axes and brooms.
On the left side of the main door is the master bedroom and the central room. It should have been two rooms, but my parents probably changed it to a small kitchen. There is a stove, a cupboard, and a large tank for water storage. In the corner, there are some firewood and a few earthen jars!
My room should be on the right side of the door. It's a small boudoir with a bed frame and a small desk by the window. There are some toys on the table, a wardrobe, a drawer, and a small bed that looks like a chaise lounge.
Further in should be an embroidery room converted from a utility room. The room was not big, and there were two embroidery racks inside. The embroidery racks were not of the same size. The larger one was rectangular and 1.5 meters long and about one meter wide. The smaller one was about one meter square. There was a embroidery thread rack by the wall. There were three rows of embroidery thread hanging on it from top to bottom. Moreover, the colors were all divided, just like the thread sold in the shop. It made people feel that they were professionals!
"Is my mother that professional?" I thought to myself.
Next to this embroidery room was the woodshed.
There was another cubicle in the woodshed. It seemed to be a toilet bowl because I didn't see a latrine pit here. Moreover, it didn't seem to have a sewer here! When she lived at her grandmother's house, she used the toilet bowl. Every morning and night, there would be someone to collect it.
"Little Jia, are you going to wash things with me at home or go to your grandma's house to play with your cousin?”
"I'll accompany Mother. I won't go to my nanny's house.”
"I don't even know where my grandma's house is. How can I go there? It's safer at home!”I thought to myself.
"Alright, let's take off the bedsheets and wash them. We'll change them to a clean one later. It's dusty after not being at home for a few days!”
"Okay, I'll help Mother shower together!"
...
"Second Brother, you're back?" A woman pushed open the door and entered.
"Sigh! It was Sister-in-law! We're washing things, you can find a stool to sit on!”
"You don't have to worry about me. Did you go back to your mother's house?”The woman found a stool and sat down.
"Yes, I have something to do when I go back. Is our family okay these few days?”
"It's nothing serious!"
Nothing serious? That was a small matter! In short, there was something.
"The one from the second shop, I'll help you wash it. Don't tire yourself out with your board.”As he spoke, he reached out to help.
"Sister-in-law is still the most capable. The two of us can't compare to one of you.”
"Sigh! My life is full of toil, so our Xiaojuan is back!”
"So be it. Didn't he always come back in the past?”
"It's not as simple as coming back to live.”
"He Li? Why did they have to get a divorce? She had only given birth a few months ago!”
"She said it was about her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled. You know Xiaojuan's personality.”
"Xiao Juan is too straightforward. She doesn't know how to turn things around. Then what does her man mean?”
"That Zhao Li only knows how to be a filial son besides studying. Of course, he's on his mother's side.”
"Back then, I already said that this Zhao Li couldn't do it. I don't know what Third Brother's family was thinking, but they even introduced him to our family. That Zhao Li is just a useless person at home who listens to his brother and mother! Then what do our parents mean?"
"What else can I mean? Of course, I don't want to let him leave! He came back yesterday, but he hadn't come up with any results yet! The child is also back."
"Yes, carry her back. What if she doesn't drink milk?”
"Why are you making so much noise? There has to be a reason!"
"I heard from Xiao Juan that she overslept because she was too tired from taking care of the child and didn't prepare dinner! Everyone hasn't eaten yet."
"It's tiring for her to take care of the child, so her sister-in-law can help. Besides, it's not like that old lady can't be touched!”
"Her sister-in-law and her uncle divorced three months ago. They didn't take the child with them.”
"What? Did they get a divorce?"
"Yes, Xiao Juan said that she found it embarrassing and didn't tell us. That old lady always thought that her sister-in-law was from a small county and wasn't worthy of her son, who was an official. Her sister-in-law didn't know how to coax people and looked for trouble every day. Her uncle was the same.”
"Sigh! Her sister-in-law had been living a sullen life. It was good that she had gotten a divorce. She should find another one while she was young!”
"Back then, I thought that the widow was a troublemaker. I told our parents that she didn't believe me.”
"Um, why don't you go back with me to take a look after you're done washing your clothes? Help me make a decision."
My mother didn't answer immediately. She was silent for a while, probably considering whether she should get involved.
"Then I'll go over and take a look after washing my things!”My mother said after thinking for a moment.
"I'll help you wash up quickly. How many more are there? Just these in this basin?"
"Just these two bedsheets. We'll go over after washing and drying them!”
"Alright, we don't have much time to shower. After we're done, we'll go over there for lunch!”
...
"Little Jia, mom is going to your grandma's house. Be good and stay at home!”
"Let the child go!"
"Don't go. It's not good for the child to hear this. Besides, she's still young. If she hears us talking and word gets out, it's better for her to stay at home! I'll have to trouble your Fu Xin to send some food over at noon!”
"That's true. Then let's do it this way!"
"Mother, find me a piece of cloth. I want to embroider.”
"Don't you have the cloth I gave you for practice in your room? The needle is in the needle box in the embroidery room, but you have to be careful!”
"Alright, got it!"
"Let's go!" After that, she went to her grandmother's house.
...
There's cloth in my room? Let's go look for it first.
I entered my little room and scanned the desk. There were a few dolls and two small cabinets under the desk. I opened one to take a look. Most of them were toys. I opened the other one and there was only a cloth bag inside." Is this a cloth head?”I took out the cloth bag.
He placed the cloth bag on the table and opened it. It was really cloth. It was all pure color. There were all sizes. There were hemp, cotton, and even silk and gauze!
I flipped through the clothes and found that there were more cotton ones, less hemp ones, and a lot of silk ones. There wasn't much muslin, but the muslin ones were a little bigger. One piece was almost as big as a modern scarf.
I found a black linen head and a bean-green cotton head. I wrapped the other parts and put them back!
He took the two pieces of cloth and hopped to the embroidery room.
Entering the embroidery room, I went straight to the embroidery thread. I was dazzled by so many embroidery threads because the embroidery thread was divided into three rows. I couldn't reach the top row at all. I could only reach the lowest row with the least colors. However, there were 20 colors in the lowest row. I picked a pearl-white thread and turned around to look for a needle. When I turned around, I found that there was a different world in this room.
As he was looking at the room from the outside, he didn't see the whole room. There was a resting room separated by a bead curtain on the opposite side of the embroidery thread. There was a big bed with a small tea table beside the bed. There were teapots and teacups on it. There was a shelf at the head of the bed with a sewing kit and a dustpan for scissors.
Actually, everything was very ordinary. Only this bead curtain was very beautiful. What was very dreamy was that at the window at the end of the bed, there was an aqua pink light gauze curtain. When the breeze blew, it was very elegant. It was very stunning!
