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

"Rice is five cents a pound now. Each of you has worked for me for thirteen days, so you should each be paid two hundred and sixty cents, which translates to fifty-two pounds of grain. I've seen how hard you've been working lately, so I'll round it up to fifty-five pounds each."

"I am just like this. If you are sincere to me, I won't be mean to you."

Yun Xi added.

The village chief of the nearby Xiaowangzhuang and the clan leader Li served as witnesses, and they all showed appreciation when they heard the words.

A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have surplus food.

More than 700 kilograms of grain have been distributed, and there is still a lot left.

"Does anyone want to buy anything else?"

That's right, the price of rice in the city has now dropped to five cents per catty, mainly because the autumn grain has arrived, and there are more varieties to choose from in the market, so people are not limited to rice, so the price of grain naturally drops.

Since none of the ten people bought food, Yun Xi kept it all for herself.

The family now has 2,600 taels of cash, which means they have barely entered the landlord class.

At the beginning of November, there was no sign of a severe winter. There was occasional drizzle and snow was rare. But in the second half of the month, it suddenly started snowing, and the heavy snow did not stop. The roads were blocked by the snow, and the temperature dropped sharply. No one went out, and even if the kang was heated, it would still feel cold in the middle of the night.

After hurriedly harvesting the winter vegetables, Yun Xi didn't dare to relax. She took out the newly made bedding, laid two layers of mattress, and covered herself with two layers of quilt, so that she would definitely not be cold.

Cooking in the winter is a hassle, so Yun Xi and Mei Zi simply made a lot of dumplings, wontons, buns and steamed buns and froze them. They also killed a little rooster and made meat sauce with dried mushrooms, so they didn't have to stir-fry. In short, they did whatever they could to save trouble.

Li Meizi sat in front of the brazier in the main hall, holding the Three Hundred Thousand Characters. Seeing her mother weaving bamboo baskets, she couldn't help but worry, "I wonder if Brother Chunsheng and his brothers and sisters are cold?"

Yun Xi didn't care much. "It's okay. I left six taels of silver. I can buy cotton clothes when it's cold."

As long as you're not stupid, you'll be fine.

So what was Li Chunsheng doing at this time? He was sewing gloves. As the weather grew colder, writing became more and more painful.

The teacher's wife who was in charge of cooking in the school prepared enough food and firewood, so we had a full meal every time. There was also a brazier in the school, but we could not bear the cold if we were far away from the brazier.

I put on the two sets of cotton-padded clothes and vest sent by my family, two layers of thick cotton socks and rabbit fur boots, which were very warm.

At night, there was a kang (kang) with three sets of bedding. Two quilts were laid out. He and his younger brother slept together, saving a mattress and covering it with two quilts. His younger sister slept on one side, covered with a quilt, a mattress and everyone's cotton-padded clothes, which was enough to keep them warm.

Only his hands, which were exposed outside, could not withstand the cold. Seeing that his rich classmates were wearing fur gloves, Li Chunsheng bought some cotton cloth and started making them. He made three pairs according to his size, and finally he felt better.

He had not spent all the money his mother left him the first time, so he bought two bags of snacks and a teapot set so that he could have water to drink at night. He was reluctant to spend the money his mother left him the second time, but seeing that the day was likely to turn into a snowstorm, he knew he dared not save any more. On his day off, he went out with his husband to buy 200 kilograms of rice just in case.

The scene on the street made him feel a little relieved. Although the snow was heavy, the government office still called everyone out to clear the snow. Officials were sent to the civilian area in the north city to provide disaster relief. Although the government office did not collect taxes this year, it had stockpiled a lot of food and medicinal materials with money from somewhere, and the people were not unprepared, so disaster relief was not too difficult.

Yun Xi didn't know what was happening in Rongcheng. At this time, Lijia Village was living in peace and tranquility. She stayed at home every day, sweeping the snow and feeding the livestock, and didn't have to do anything else.

One of the two big fat pigs will be slaughtered before the Chinese New Year and made into cured meat, and the other one will be taken to Chengdu and sold.

That day, Yun Xi was reading a novel when she heard a knock on the door. When she opened it, she saw it was her second sister-in-law Wang Xing.

"Second sister-in-law, why are you here in such a cold weather?"

Wang Xing hunched her neck and stated her purpose. "Hey, I came to buy some things from you. Do you have any cotton cloth? And eggs? You know we have three little ones at home, so my wife and I need to eat more nutritious food to make milk. Our chickens don't lay eggs in winter, and we've eaten all the eggs we saved. I'm worried."

This was exactly what Yun Xi wanted. She had spread the word in the village before, asking people to come to her to buy anything they needed, but it seemed to have little effect and no one came. Unexpectedly, the first person to come was her second sister-in-law.

"Okay, come here, how much cotton cloth do you want? I have another piece of cotton cloth at home, I'll give it to you at the original price, and I have a big jar of eggs, two cents each, which is more than enough to eat."

Yun Xi smiled and led people into the main room.

Wang Xing was overjoyed and handed over two baskets. "Give me all the cotton cloth, and I want two baskets of eggs."

In this way, Wang Xing spent six hundred coins and left contentedly.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xing's arrival seemed to turn on some kind of switch. People from the village came to buy vinegar and soy sauce, and most of them came to buy sugar and eggs and duck eggs. There were also people from the neighboring Xiaowangzhuang Village who came to buy food, cotton and cloth. I guess they really couldn't hold on any longer, otherwise why would they be willing to spend money?

Since there were people buying things in the store, Yun Xi put some common commodities on the surface. Mei Zi didn't pay much attention to these things, so she naturally didn't know that some of them were products she bought from the system.

I had wanted to go to Chengdu before the New Year, but seeing the heavy snow and the fact that I could buy daily necessities from Yun Xi, I was a little discouraged.

Yun Xi didn't know what everyone was thinking. At this time, under her teaching, Li Ba Niu made the sled. Yun Xi wanted to buy it. It happened that she had a donkey at home to pull it. A dog would be best, but no one had a dog, so she could only try with a cow or a donkey.

It was a pretty steady walk, but keeping warm was a problem. Yun Xi tied some dry firewood to the sled and covered it, and they should be ready to go. This time, she didn't let Mei Zi go with her. "We still need you to take care of the house, and you have a cold body, so it's not good to go out in the wind. Mother is still waiting for you to give birth to a big fat boy for me. Stay at home and lock the door. If you need anything, ask the tribe members for help."

Li Meizi watched her mother leave with eager eyes, then turned around and went home.

Yun Xi left quietly, and the villagers didn't know that the sled was loaded with firewood, fodder, a pig, 200 kilograms of cabbage and 300 kilograms of radishes. It was quite a lot, and it was difficult for Big Black and Little Black to pull it.

After leaving the village, Yun Xi put the things into the space disk, and put Dahei and Xiaohei into the system space that can store living things.

System: "They don't poop, do they?"

Yun Xi was buying a snowmobile and rolled her eyes when she heard that. "Of course I will. Don't worry, I'll clean it up for you when the time comes."

The system shuts down, "Oh right, I can put them into a static space."

"It's up to you. Just be nice to my cows."

Yun Xi bought a snowmobile and several down jackets, put them on and set off quickly. The snowmobile was much faster than a sled, and they arrived at the gate of Chengdu in less than three days.
