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

Yun Xi comforted him, "Silly boy, what does it have to do with us whether other families are rich or not? Everyone has their own way of living, and we must accept the differences between individuals. This time, your mother brought you a lot of mountain products, so you should eat more to nourish your body."

"Differences between individuals?"

"what!"

"who is it?!"

Li Meizi was frightened and looked at the door, where she saw a tall man.

Yun Xi immediately looked at Li Chunsheng, "Chunsheng, who is this?"

"It's the top student in the class, Wei Yuan." Li Chunsheng was surprised. "Student Wei, did we disturb you?"

Wei Yuan said a little excitedly, "No, no, it was my fault. We must accept the differences between individuals. We must accept the differences between individuals. So that's how it is."

"Accepting individual differences and retaining one's own differences, what's wrong with that?" Yun Xi didn't understand.

No one noticed the light in Wei Yuan's eyes. At this moment, he kept repeating what Yun Xi had said, rushed to Chen Xiucai's room, and shouted loudly: "Master, I want to take the imperial examination this year!"

"What? You're going to go down, that's great! That's great!"

Chen Xiucai's voice sounded very excited.

Yun Xi and Li Chunsheng looked at each other in confusion. "Why are you looking at me? Isn't he your classmate? Don't you know his situation?"

Li Chunsheng was embarrassed. "I'm new here and I'm not familiar with him." How could a poor student like him possibly get along with top students?

Li Yanran shook her head, "Mom, I know. Uncle Wei gave me some snacks. He's twenty-five this year. He was once a genius in Chengdu. He could speak eloquently at the age of three and started studying the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of six. He was extremely intelligent and had a high level of understanding. Everyone had high hopes for him. He was supposed to take the exam when he was twelve, but for some reason, he didn't go, and he hasn't been able to do so until now."

Yun Xi looked at her, only concerned, "Did you brush your teeth properly after eating snacks?"

"Yes, Mom, I will brush my teeth after eating snacks." Li Yanran said obediently.

Yun Xi was relieved that the child had adapted well. "Remember, don't eat food given by strangers. Don't leave the school for any reason. Unless your mother comes to find you, find an adult if you encounter any problems. Do you understand?" Yun Xi reminded him again.

"it is good."

Afraid that Chunsheng would feel inferior, Yun Xi left two taels of silver for each of them as pocket money and gave it to Chunsheng for safekeeping. The two children could just ask Chunsheng for money when they needed it.

Before leaving, Li Meizi whispered softly and gently to Li Chunsheng, "We sold 4,000 catties of cotton, and each catty fetched 380 coins. So we won't be short of money anymore. Brother Chunsheng, you can focus on your studies."

After leaving the dormitory, when I was about to reach the door, I was blocked by Chen Xiucai, "Madam Yun, please wait."

Yun Xi suppressed the urge to scream and frowned as she looked at Mr. Chen who was holding the lantern, "Master Chen, is there something wrong?" It was really scary so late at night.

Chen Xiucai thanked her, "I came here to thank Madam Yun. If it weren't for Madam Yun's words, Wei Yuan might have been confused for the rest of his life. I heard that Madam Yun's father was once a scholar."

Yun Xi frowned, "It has nothing to do with my father, and those words didn't come from his mouth. I overheard them and said them out loud when I was there."

Chen Xiucai was slightly stunned. "I was mistaken. Sorry."

"It's okay. People always have stereotypes." After Yun Xi finished speaking, she pulled Mei Zi away and returned to the inn to rest immediately.

Li Meizi clearly noticed that her mother was unhappy.

But they didn't know that Chen Xiucai stood there in the dark night, thinking for a long time.

When Yun Xi woke up early in the morning and checked the system, it was already five o'clock in the morning. She was no longer in any mood. She woke up Mei Zi and started to get dressed. When she checked out, she saw that her livestock and the patriarch's donkey were well fed and washed. Yun Xi looked up and remembered this "Auspicious Inn". The service was good and she would come again next time.

We bought some vegetarian buns on the street and gave one to each of us to try. Then we all hurried on our way.

It was already the sixth day of October when I returned home, and in a dozen days we would start harvesting the regenerated rice.

A drizzle fell from the sky, making people's faces itchy and cold, and the entire Beishan Mountain was shrouded in fog.

The two men settled the livestock and cleaned the house.

On the other side, Li Daniu, who had returned home, quietly told his wife about Yun Xi's cotton sales, his tone inevitably filled with envy and jealousy, "Three hundred and eighty coins per catty, four thousand catties, that's more than one thousand taels of silver."

Yu Qian'er clutched his chest and said, "Next year, we'll plant five mu of land and take good care of it. Even if one jin can only fetch two hundred coins, we can still sell it. Sell it, how much is it going to fetch?"

Li Daniu was overwhelmed with emotion. "One mu of land has two thousand catties, five mu of land has ten thousand catties, two thousand taels. Next year, I won't plant any other crops on the dry land. I'll plant all five mu of land with cotton."

Yu Qianer covered his chest and said, "My third sister-in-law's cotton is whiter and softer than the cotton we harvested this year. She is so lucky to have bought such good cotton seeds."

"Yes, by the way, are the beddings and other things ready for the house? Rumor has it in Chengdu that this winter will be cold. My eldest granddaughter is still young, and my second, third, fourth, and fifth daughters-in-law are about to give birth one after another. We can't do without cotton."

That's why his family and his tribe didn't go to sell cotton.

Last winter, we were still wearing the cotton quilts and clothes left over from before the disaster. We couldn't bear to throw them away, and there was still a kang burning, so we weren't cold. Last year, there was only one heavy snowfall that lasted for several days, but this year it might snow continuously, and the temperature might drop even lower. Adults can survive it, but children can't.

"It's done. It's almost finished. It has been dried in the sun and is ready to be covered in winter." Yu Qianer said.

Li Daniu pressed on, "How thick is the quilt?"

"The mattresses weigh two kilograms each, and the quilts are five kilograms each. Each family received two sets of quilts. One set of cotton-padded clothes uses more than a kilogram of cotton, so each person gets two sets. Each family also gets ten kilograms of cotton and a few feet of cloth for the daughters-in-law to make clothes and quilts for the children." Yu Qian'er said unhappily, "Is this enough for the winter? We still have forty kilograms of cotton left as a backup."

"That's enough, thank you for your hard work, daughter-in-law."

This kind of thing happened to every household in Lijia Village, but there was not so much cotton in Xiaowangzhuang. There was nothing they could do about it, so they could only build the kang as soon as possible.

After Yun Xi cleaned up the house, she went to Siniu's house and bought a bag of millet. That's right, Siniu's family was the largest in the whole village, with a lot of dry land and several acres of millet planted.

Millet is a good thing. It is good for the stomach. I will buy it even at eight cents per pound. I will save a bag of 100 pounds to eat slowly.

Li Meizi has become completely accustomed to it. It seems that in her mother's eyes, health comes first and money comes second. She cooks millet and red date porridge to drink in the evening.

When Yun Xi woke up in the morning, the rain stopped and the wind started to blow. A layer of frost fell in the yard. When she opened the door, the cold wind gave her goose bumps. She had no choice but to go back to the house and put on her autumn clothes.

"Meizi, the temperature has dropped, remember to wear long-sleeved shirts and long johns. Oh, and have Chunsheng and the others given away their autumn coats and padded jackets?"

"Sent it to my mother."

"it is good."
