【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

I heard the pigs squealing outside, it's time to feed them.

After getting up, Yun Xi carried Xia Qing to the bathroom. When she heard noises coming from the two main rooms to the west, she shouted, "Don't worry about getting up. You guys can sleep a little longer."

Soon Li Chunsheng came out with his clothes on, "Mom, I've had enough sleep. I can't sleep anymore. I'll go get some water and cook."

There was no water tank at home, only two wooden barrels left over from the past, making it very inconvenient to use water. Fortunately, there was a stream flowing from north to south in the wasteland to the east of the door, making it convenient to fetch water.

In fact, the house lacked everything. Li Chunsheng built a simple toilet with wooden boards in the backyard, and built a pigpen next to it with a simple fence. Fortunately, the wall was made of blue bricks, so the pigs couldn't run away.

"Go ahead, but don't mention it too much, or you'll be weighed down and won't grow taller."

Li Meizi couldn't stay idle either, so she followed closely behind, "I'm going to feed the pigs and cows, as well as the chickens, ducks and geese."

"Row."

After Xia Qing finished urinating, Yun Xi put him on the bed to continue sleeping. After she went to wash up, she took out the rabbit skin and gray mouse skin and put them away.

Li Chunsheng ran back at this time and said happily: "Mom, the clan leader has someone making a stone mill and placed it in the courtyard of the ancestral hall. Anyone can use it."

"I know. A millstone is convenient."

"Yes." Li Chunsheng smiled and continued to go out to fetch water.

"Mom, I think the fence of the pigpen is not strong. Should we ask someone to build one? And the cowshed and chicken coop will freeze to death in the winter because it's too cold." After feeding the small animals, Li Meizi ran over and said worriedly.

"I was just about to find someone to do this. There are a lot of blue bricks left in the village, so we can build it with blue bricks."

After drinking a bowl of rice porridge for breakfast, Yun Xi went back to the house and packed two taels of brown sugar to look for Li Daniu. Li Daniu's house was in the first house on the west side, and it was there after passing through more than ten houses. She heard laughter from inside the door and reached out to knock on it.

"Coming."

Yu Qianer opened the door, "Oh, my third brother's wife is here, come in quickly."

Yun Xi smiled and greeted, "Good morning, sister-in-law. What makes you so happy?"

"Hahaha, it's early for you too. The eldest brother's wife is pregnant. How can I not be happy?" Yu Qian'er smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

"What? She's pregnant! This is such great news! It's adding a new member to our Li family. I just happened to bring two taels of brown sugar. Please use it to nourish the child. Don't let our eldest grandson of the Li family suffer!"

But in my heart I thought, wow, I got pregnant before my body has recovered, how unrestrained I am.

Yu Qian'er paused and nodded, "Then I won't be polite with you. Why didn't I think of buying brown sugar last time?"

"Life is unpredictable. How can I know everything?"

"By the way, sister-in-law, do you have something to do this time?" Yu Qian'er put the brown sugar away, and then he remembered that she must have come here for something.

"Third sister-in-law, are you having difficulties at home?"

Under the eaves, Li Daniu looked at her curiously.

"No, life couldn't be better now. But the weather is getting colder and I have no place to keep the livestock. I would like to ask my eldest brother and some nephews to help me build a few small sheds. The wages are negotiable." Yun Xi explained her purpose.

"I thought it was nothing. It's a small matter. Leave it to them and they will definitely take care of it for you. Why ask for any wages?" Yu Qian'er agreed immediately.

"You can't say that. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. How can we ask people to work for free? I plan to build thatched huts in the backyards of the three houses, a cowshed, a pigsty and a chicken coop. It's a big project, and I'm bound to have to work hard on my eldest brother and nephews. I must pay them for their work, just like before the disaster year, thirty cents a day." Yun Xi explained with disapproval.

Li Daniu stopped the woman from pulling and said, "Okay, let's do it. The tribe left behind a lot of bricks, tiles, and lime. Let's go and finish the building in two days."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Li Daniu and his five sons worked very quickly. Yun Xi took the children and Mei Zi to the front yard to sew shoes. Li Chunsheng followed his uncle to help. They built the house in the backyard in the morning and went to the next yard in the afternoon.

Li Meizi was very happy and took a broom to clean the blue brick livestock house in the backyard very cleanly.

There was no rice included for lunch, so Yunxi steamed rice and cooked seafood soup and had a delicious meal.

On the afternoon of the second day, after the inspection was passed, Yun Xi paid three hundred yuan to Li Daniu and asked casually, "Brother, what do you say about the ancestor worship this year?"

"According to the clan leader, we will go to Rongcheng to buy some chickens and ducks. As for us, my family will go to the mountains to hunt wild boars and get the pig heads, and your family and the second brother will get the chickens and rabbits." Li Daniu said.

"I got it."

Yun Xi was going to buy a chicken from the system before the ancestral worship. Li Chunsheng was worried because she didn't know she had a solution. "Mom, I haven't seen many prey in the mountains recently. Pheasants might be hard to hunt. The traps I set didn't catch a single one."

"It's okay, don't think too much. I'll find a way. I'm here. At worst, I can ask the clan leader to help buy a chicken." Yun Xi comforted him, "Okay, let's go make shoes together. Let's finish these today, and you can do whatever you want in the future."

Making shoes is very laborious, and Yun Xi's hands were hurt by the prickles. Oh, life is so hard.

In the evening, after finally finishing, Yun Xi really didn't want to do anything. She just wanted to lie in bed every day and recuperate.

There is a kang on the east side of the room, and a bed opposite the kang. She is still sleeping on the bed. She is in a daze, and the two little ones are rolling around and playing on the bed. At this moment, it can be considered a peaceful time.

"Stop making trouble and get ready for bed."

The stars were dim and the moon was without brilliance. As expected, it rained the next day. The rain was icy cold and froze my hands.

"The temperature will drop sharply in the next few days. Just rest inside after dinner and don't run around." At the dinner table, Yun Xi glanced at the weather forecast on the system and said to the children.

Li Chunsheng: "I light up the kang. It's too late to let it dry naturally."

Li Meizi: "I'll cook and grind flour at the same time."

"Okay, go to bed and rest when you're done. There's nothing else to do."

After that, Yun Xi stayed in bed, teaching the four children ten words a day. She spent the rest of the time watching TV shows and playing games. This was very hard for the children, as learning to read was so difficult.

"Mom, can I not learn to read?" Xia Qing pouted and said coquettishly.

Yun Xi pulled herself away from the TV series and glanced at him, "If you don't want to learn, go out to the mountains and chop firewood now."

Li Xiaqing was incredulous, "But it's raining."

"It's raining! Didn't you see that everyone else has gone out? If you don't want to study, then go out." Yun Xi snorted, "I hope you will learn to read well so that you won't be blind in the future. Don't let yourself be unable to understand the imperial court notices."

Li Yanran glared at her brother, "If you don't learn, you'll be a farmer in the future. If I learn, I'll find a scholar husband."

Yun Xi:......

What did the little brat say about getting married?

After being scolded by his sister, Li Xiaqing had no choice but to continue learning to read. Yun Xi ignored their lawsuit, and the rain outside seemed to have stopped.

System: "Stopped, the temperature is still low."

"Normally, it'll be November soon, and it'll snow then."
