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

For breakfast, Yunxi cooked a salty soup with tomatoes, eggs, lean pork and mushrooms, and steamed two baskets of black fungus and lean pork buns. After the temperature dropped, the buns could be kept for a few days and eaten slowly.

Li Meizi took care of the livestock as usual, while Yun Xi took over Chunsheng's work. She took the time to fill the yard with water and clean it, then had breakfast with Meizi. After the meal, the work continued.

The most important thing is to chop firewood and prepare firewood. The firewood prepared last year could last for two months, but it is not enough. The amount of firewood consumed in winter is high, so I feel at ease to prepare more.

Yun Xi and Mei Zi each pulled an ox cart up the mountain to chop firewood. When they passed by the mulberry tree, they took a look and seemed to have forgotten to pick the mulberries. They must have been picked and eaten by someone else before. Forget it, she was too lazy to care. She didn't have time to pick them. As long as the tree grew well and didn't affect her silkworm breeding next year, it would be fine.

More than a year after the disaster, the mountain has gradually regained vitality. The recovery of vegetation has attracted some small animals. Although there are not many, the ecology is indeed constantly improving.

There are a lot of dead trees in my forest. Some died during droughts, some were knocked down by floods, and some were knocked down by earthquakes...

In short, no one was a winner in that natural disaster.

Various dead trees fell in different ways, making the forest a little messy. We will clean up the dead trees in the forest this year, and we must buy some saplings to supplement the stock next year. It takes ten years to grow a tree, so it’s better to plant trees early.

She tied Dahei and Erhei to the side of a tree and let them graze on their own. She and Mei Zi took axes to chop firewood. After chopping the firewood into small pieces, they placed them neatly on the ox cart. They could pull back eight carts a day.

"System, I don't feel that tired at work this year. Look, I only felt tired after chopping wood for so long."

System: "Don't forget that you are in your prime. How could you not have made any progress with your high-intensity exercise since last year? And the physical enhancement fluid is also helping."

"Oh, yeah, I completed my last mission perfectly. Shouldn't I get the missing rewards?"

Yun Xi wanted to give everyone in her family a drink of physical fitness enhancement liquid.

System: "?? Can it be supplemented? I'll apply."

Soon, the system prompted that the rewards had been replenished.

Yun Xi took a look and confirmed that there was no problem, so she took out a tube of physical enhancement liquid, poured it into a bamboo tube and gave it to Mei Zi. Mei Zi took it and drank it all, and didn't find anything different. She had been drinking mint-flavored water frequently recently.

But why does it feel like my strength has increased a little?

The system chuckled, "Mei Zi didn't doubt you."

"That's good."

For ten consecutive days, the firewood the two men brought back filled the utility room and the gaps in the yard, and it was expected to last for more than a year.

After the firewood is stored, it's time to prepare livestock feed. Some wild grass is cut, chopped, dried, and piled in the second empty room in the east house. There is also straw, so there is no need to worry too much about it.

At night, Li Meizi was suddenly awakened by the pain.

The system alerted Yun Xi. She woke up in a daze and went to Mei Zi to ask about the situation. Mei Zi, who had always been strong and introverted, cried, "Mom, my legs hurt and I'm cramping. My period has come and my stomach hurts."

The crying sound is so cautious...

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Mommy has some painkillers here. Take one. Your legs hurt because you're growing taller and lack calcium. I'll kill a goose tomorrow and stew it for you to replenish your body. Take the medicine. Mommy will go and make your menstrual belt for you now." Yun Xi was so soft-hearted that she found the medicine she had prepared from the space disk, one calcium tablet and one painkiller, and then boiled a pot of hot water for the child to drink.

After taking the medicine, Mei Zi, who was in so much pain that she was sweating coldly, felt much better. However, she didn't dare to sit on the bed. She sat on a stool and drank hot water from a bamboo cup in small sips.

Yun Xi lit the oil lamp, found some clean cotton cloth and cotton, and did the work for Mei Zi for ten months in one go.

"Meizi, you use it first. Mom will go wash the mattress. It just so happens that we need to take apart and wash the bedding tomorrow as well." Yun Xi comforted her.

Li Meizi nodded embarrassedly.

So shameful.

Yun Xi didn't think anything of it. She didn't know if it was because she hadn't taken good care of her body or what, but her period didn't come very often. She completely forgot that Mei Zi should have her period at her age.

I used cold water to rinse off the bloodstain on the mattress, secretly took out some soap and washed that area thoroughly and hung it up to dry. I didn't wash the entire mattress, as that would be bad for the cotton.

As for saying that the bedding will be washed and unpacked tomorrow, it is to comfort the child. The bedding was washed and unpacked a month ago when the weather was fine. The next time it will be washed and unpacked and dried will be in spring.

At night, Yun Xi and Mei Zi slept together. When she woke up in the morning, Mei Zi was still sleeping. She got up quietly and sharpened her knife to go to the big goose.

The goose is not big yet, but the meat is tender. Anyone who has eaten it knows the taste of a goose stewed in an iron pot. It is a delicious dish when paired with steamed buns. Yun Xi and Mei Zi shared the goose and ate it until their mouths were full of oil.

Big goose: tie q.

Yun Xi gave Mei Zi another packet of calcium tablets and told her to go and rest. "Take one tablet a day. I'll also make you a bowl of brown sugar and egg tea. Drink it and have a good rest. There's nothing to do at home right now, so don't worry. We'll have someone come harvest the regenerated rice when the time comes."

"Thank you, mother."

This time Li Meizi went back to sleep in her own room.

As for Yun Xi, seeing that there was enough firewood and fodder, she took out some cotton and made fifty months' worth of maternity belts as a backup, then began to cut the cloth. She cut six sheets, locked the edges, and put them aside.

This year there was enough cotton, so she didn't hesitate. She made six six-pound quilts, six matching quilt covers, and six three-pound mattresses. In addition, she also made a set of cotton clothes for each person. Such a large workload took her almost ten days. Mei Zi also came to help after her period was over.

After finishing and drying, put it in the cupboard. Let’s see if this year will really be a cold winter.

After finishing her work, Yun Xi ran to Chief Li like a spinning top to recruit people from Xiaowangzhuang Village to harvest rice. As for why the people from Xiaowangzhuang had so much land and had time to work, it was because they didn't have enough crops to grow.

"Okay, how many people do you want to recruit?"

"Ten, the same old rules, twenty cents a day, including lunch. By the way, it's getting colder now, they have no place to live, right, Chief?" Yun Xi thought about this problem.

Chief Li waved his hand and said, "It's okay. There's a vacant room in the ancestral hall. You can stay there."

On October 15th, the weather looked like it was going to change, and it was a bit cold to wear a vest. Yun Xi changed into cotton clothes and quickly led people to start harvesting rice. The yield of regenerated rice was small, but the process of collecting rice straw was added, and the workload was quite heavy.

Mei Zi focused on cooking at home. Every meal was either eggs or salted fish. She also killed a goose. In short, she never let anyone complain.

This time, the harvest of regenerated rice was about 4,500 kilograms, which could no longer be stored in the house. Some of it was piled up in the main room and bedroom. The straw was bundled and placed in the empty house next door. It could be used to feed cows and burn firewood.

It rained twice while the rice was drying. Fortunately, it was cleaned up in time. It was rare to see strong sunshine in early November, so the rice was dried again before being stored.

There was more rice at home than we could eat, and even after working hard all day, there was still some left. But when it came time to get paid, none of the ten workers wanted any money. What did they want? Food.

Yes, Xiaowangzhuang is short of food.
