On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 84: Counting the days, it’s time to sew up this menstrual belt.

(Thanks to Amu for voting for 4 monthly ticket.)
After spending the money, Li Shiyue felt "satisfied" all of a sudden, a kind of empty-handed satisfaction.

She turned off the virtual screen in her mind, feeling relieved, and then her mind cleared and she fell asleep soon after.

When Li Shiyue woke up, it was already noon. As soon as she woke up, her mother, who had been watching over her, called her, "Shiyue, lie down for a while and then get up to eat.

I've already prepared it for you. Lie down and wake yourself up. I'll bring it to you."

With limited ingredients, Zheng Meiniang could only cook thick porridge.

But this porridge was not just porridge like usual. Zheng Meiniang picked vegetables from the yard of the original tenant and also found dried mushrooms in the kitchen.

Therefore, the porridge today tastes better than usual.

Watching Li Shiyue drinking porridge mouthful by mouthful, Li's mother sat on the edge of the kang and mended clothes for the family in the light coming in from outside. At this moment, she was holding Shi Tou's clothes.

Shitou was a big man, and he and Li Wangming were the ones who carried the shoulder pole back and forth along the way, so his shoulders were worn out more, so Li's mother mended his clothes first.

"Your aunt also told me that this place is good because it is close to the mountain. There are a lot of dried mushrooms hanging on the beams of the kitchen.

When it rains later, we can carry baskets up the mountain to pick mushrooms. Not only can we sell them for money, but we can also dry them and keep them for ourselves to eat. They can also add some flavor to the table."

Li Shiyue listened to what Li's mother said and nodded. It was indeed as Liu Laozhang said, living in the mountains, they would never have to worry about having enough food.

The problem is, there is a group of "wolves" on the other side of the mountain, ready to eat people.

"Mother, where are my aunt, sister, and brother?"

Mother Li raised her head and glanced at Li Wangming who was sleeping soundly beside her, then she looked at Li Shiyue and answered her in a low voice.

"When you were sleeping, your aunt Lanhua came to call you and said that Uncle Youfu was calling people over to talk.

You had just fallen asleep for a short time at that time, and I didn't want to wake you up, so I asked your aunt to take Shitou, Qiutian and Xiatian away.

It's been a while. If you're worried, go over and take a look."

Li Shiyue was definitely worried, and she also had an idea that she wanted to talk to Li Shiyang about, so she said something to Li's mother, put the axe on her waist, and went out.

However, before leaving, Li Shiyue went back and asked her mother for an embroidery needle.

Li's mother was still a little confused: "Why do you want this? But the clothes are torn?

Bring it here, I will fix it for you in a moment."

Li Shiyue didn't know how to mend clothes. She could do some simple needlework, but in the past it was Li's mother who took care of the household affairs.

In the past, mending clothes was done by Li's mother or grandmother. Li Shiyue had never been asked to do this.

Therefore, Li Shiyue had to find an excuse: "According to the date, it's time to sew the menstrual belt. Mother, give me a needle, and my sister and I will take off our underwear and make it ourselves."

After hearing what Li Shiyue said, Li's mother's eyes were filled with regret: "It's my mother's fault for forgetting about this matter!

When our land is divided up, your aunt and I will go to the cloth shop in town to buy some white cloth and make some for you, Qiu and Xia!

This woman should be the one who loves cleanliness!

In the past, we didn’t care about this when we were on the road, but now that we have settled down, we have to pay attention to this.

Don't worry about it. Mother has it in mind and will definitely fix it for you.

This cloth needs to be boiled, washed and aired before it can be used. Go and do your thing. I've thought about it and will make it for you as soon as I have time, okay?"

Having said so much, how could Li Shiyue have any reason to ask Li's mother for an embroidery needle?

Li Shiyue thought: "Well, I can't find a reason this time, so I'll find another excuse to ask for a needle next time.

At least give me a provenance for the embroidery needle I bought at such a high price."

Thinking of this, Li Shiyue went out.

When she arrived outside the gate of the courtyard where Li Youfu and Li Shiyang lived, she saw many people from Lijia Village sitting or standing in the courtyard, talking excitedly.

As soon as she entered, the third aunt who was sitting at the door was the first to see her. The thin third aunt saw Li Shiyue and called her, "Shiyue is here?"

When one person called her, another person followed. In front of Third Aunt was Li Wangshui and Zhou Lanhua's family. Zhou Lanhua was still listening to Li Youfu. When she heard Third Aunt's words, she turned her head sharply to look at the door. Seeing that it was Li Shiyue, she quickly stood up and waved to Li Shiyue and shouted, "Shiyue, come quickly, there is a seat here."

Li Shiyue looked towards Zhou Lanhua and saw Zheng Meiniang, Li Qiutian, Li Xiatian and Shitou all sitting there.

After greeting his third aunt, Li Shiyue walked forward. The men who were blocking the doorway also made way for Li Shiyue one by one.

The "seat" that Zhou Lanhua mentioned was actually a relatively flat stone. Li Shiyue first called Zhou Lanhua, and then called "Uncle Wangshui," and then she said hello to her aunt, sister, and brother, and then greeted Li Youfu who was sitting on a wooden bench in the center of the yard, and then she sat down.

As soon as they sat down, Li Qiutian whispered to her, "Grandpa Fu said that before we wait for Tian Cao to come, we have to go and pay our respects to the head of the village first.

But after asking Mr. Liu, I learned that Liujiatun is close to Dahei Mountain. Apart from the hunters on the mountain, there is only one village in this vast area, Liujiatun. The only other village is Sunjiayao, east of Qingsong Town.

Having said this, we started talking about whether we should buy land to build houses or just buy the original houses of the people in Liujiatun to live in. "

Li Qiutian pointed at Li Youfu and then glanced at the people from Lijia Village standing behind him before continuing in a low voice, "But if we buy someone's ready-made house, don't we have to pay for it?

Who should I give this money to?
After all, many families have died out, who will collect the money?

Old Master Liu suggested that he could send a message to the surviving people from Liujiatun living in Qingsong Town to see if they wanted to sell their houses or something.

But after all, this is something that costs money, so everyone started arguing about it.”

Li Shiyue had an idea in mind, and thanks to Li Qiutian, she just kept her mouth shut and listened to the villagers talking.

"We have been running for a long time. In order to survive, we have thrown away all our belongings on the way. Where can we get the money?"

"Come on, I can smell your breakfast!"

"Are you born in the year of the dog? Can you smell what people are eating at home? Your nose is better than a dog's!"

As they talked, the two began to attack each other personally, saying that the words were not strong enough and they were about to start fighting.

At this moment, Li Shiyue suddenly stood up, which scared the two quarreling women.

Li Youfu was already having a headache, and when he saw Li Shiyue standing up, he looked over and asked, "What's wrong with Shiyue?
Is there something you want to say?

Sit down and talk, and tell your aunts to stop talking.

Come on, tell me, you and Shiyang have done a lot for our village along the way, what do you think about our house?"

As soon as Li Youfu spoke, the two women who were arguing stopped, lowered their heads and shut up.

But Li Shiyue shook his head at Li Youfu.

　Really, I have traveled through time, where can I buy sanitary napkins...
