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

Seeing porridge being distributed at the city gate from afar, Yun Xi quickly changed to a sled and went over. She took out her household registration pass and easily entered the city.

Because of the cold, there were not many people walking around in the city. Yun Xi turned and headed towards East City, where a large number of rich and powerful people lived. Sure enough, she saw many people here still eating out and shopping, which was the opposite of the silent North City.

Yun Xi cleared her throat and began to shout, "Selling vegetables! Sweet and refreshing cabbage, red radish that can cure night blindness, and white radish that is super delicious for stewing soup. Oh, and there's also a big fat pig, estimated to be 160 kilograms. You won't be cheated if you buy it, so come and take a look."

After shouting from one end of the street to the other, Yun Xi was called away by Haoweilou, the largest restaurant in Chengdu. After checking the quality, the other party weighed the food and paid for it very readily. The cabbage was two cents per pound, the red and white radishes were one cent per pound, and the big fat pigs that had not been slaughtered were fifteen cents per pound.

After receiving three taels and one hundred coins, the other party also brought her a pot of hot tea. After drinking the hot tea, Yun Xi felt better. After thanking them, she politely left.

It took nearly half an hour to walk from East City to South City. The road was slippery in winter and difficult to walk on. When we arrived at the school, Yun Xi called out from outside, "Is anyone there? Open the door!"

"Who is it, mother? Why are you here?"

Li Chunsheng opened the door and saw Yun Xi's eyes were red.

"What's wrong? Who bullied you? Mom will help you beat him up."

Yun Xi was startled.

Li Chunsheng led the cow to welcome Yun Xi in and said aggrievedly, "No mother, it's the master's wife who is ill and she's not getting better."

Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. "What kind of illness is this?"

"It's a cold. I've been making medicine but it hasn't gotten better."

When Yun Xi arrived at the school, she found that the school had already been closed for vacation, leaving only her own children there. Chen Xiucai and his wife Bai Yu were sick with a fever.

"My dear, your fever is so severe? Isn't it useful to boil medicine? Mom has medicine here, go and boil some hot water." Yun Xi touched Bai Yu's forehead and retracted her hand because of the heat.

The two little ones snuggled up to her and didn't want to move.

System: "It's a viral cold, a cold. People here haven't taken Western medicine, so you can just give me half the dose."

Yun Xi didn't care about the child. She bought the appropriate antipyretic and cold medicine from the system. After the hot water came, she dissolved it and fed it to the two patients.

About an hour later, the two patients regained consciousness. Bai Yu saw Yun Xi and said guiltily, "Thank you, Chunsheng mother."

The twins looked up at Yun Xi in admiration, "Mom is so amazing."

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. I spent a lot of money on this medicine, it will definitely cure you. Just take good care of yourself, I'll go cook for you."

Yun Xi tied Bai Yu up and cooked some red date millet porridge. She fed him medicine again at noon, and Bai Yu's fever completely subsided. After drinking the millet porridge, he regained some strength and got up to take care of Chen Xiucai.

Yun Xi found some paper to wrap the medicine. "Lady Bai, I'll leave you some of my family's regular medicine. There are cold medicines for hot and colds, as well as medicine for stomachaches and coughs... I've written down the symptoms so you can prescribe the right medicine when the time comes. These medicines don't need to be boiled. Just take them three times a day in hot water. Lady Bai, you need to take one more meal to consolidate your intake, and Mr. Chen needs to take them for two more days."

Before leaving, Yun Xi quietly left behind some New Year gifts: ten kilograms of cabbage, ten kilograms of radishes, ten kilograms of spinach, a rooster, a goose and a basket of eggs.

Yun Xi spent a night here and confirmed that Bai Yu's symptoms had all disappeared and Chen Xiucai's condition had improved. Then she took the children to find Lu Ya Ren. Lu Ya Ren had been locked in the house warming himself by the fire, but when he saw her, he quickly took out the contract.

"Madam Yun, this is the lease contract. The rent for the shop is one string of coins per month, and the rent for the house is two hundred strings of coins per month. The deposit is three and the payment is one." Lu Yaren was very conscientious.

The Yun shop was rented out in October, and we have just received the third month's rent, a total of 29 taels and 4 silver coins. The deposit is kept in the pawnshop. Each contract is signed for two years.

Yun Xi was very satisfied and handed the other party two boxes of snacks. "Mr. Lu Ya, you are very considerate. This is the honey three-knife I bought. I heard that the method was introduced from the Central Plains. It tastes very good."

"Thank you, Madam Yun." Lu Yaren smiled so hard that his teeth were visible.

After leaving the dental clinic, Yun Xi was followed by a middle-aged mute woman. She was a cook named Wang Xiaohua, also known as Madam Wang. She used to be a cook in a high-ranking official's house in the capital. Because of a family feud, she was poisoned and made mute and sold, and Yun Xi took advantage of the situation.

I took the children to see the house where we lived. There was no change. It was just that this house was a bit useless. It didn't feel safe for the children to live here. I decided to let them live in Chengdu. The bedding would get damp and moldy easily if left here, and I couldn't clean it every time I came. How could it be as convenient as staying in an inn?

It should have been rented out originally, so let’s keep it for now.

On the way back, Yun Xi passed by the government office and donated 20 kilograms of cotton and a sack of isatis root before leaving.

After leaving the city, Yun Xi took out down jackets for the children to wear. As for Madam Wang, who had no cotton clothes to wear, Yun Xi gave her the quilt to wrap herself in. Madam Wang gestured to express her gratitude.

"Don't talk when the wind is strong. Let's go home as soon as possible."

Yun Xi only showed her face and drove Da Hei and Xiao Hei on the road. It was very troublesome to light a fire on the road at night, so they tried to find a cave or a sheltered place, and the fire had to burn all night.

Fortunately, after five difficult days, everyone finally returned home.

Mei Zi at home guessed that her mother and others would be back soon, so she cleaned the house and heated the kang very warmly, ensuring that her family could quickly drink hot tea and stay in the warm house when they came back.

Li Meizi was very surprised by Madam Wang's arrival. There were three kangs in the house. Yun Xi arranged for the two boys to live together, and she lived with Meizi Yanran. Madam Wang would live in Meizi's room first, but she definitely couldn't live like this forever.

Yun Xi went to find someone to build a kang. After the money was in place, it was completed in one day. It could be lived in after being burned for three days. Madam Wang moved in. During these four days, Madam Wang received a piece of cotton cloth and ten kilograms of cotton. Madam Wang was very moved and made herself a set of bedding, two sets of cotton clothes and two sets of single clothes.

From then on, Madam Wang worked even harder.

Carrying water, cooking, cleaning, raising livestock...

With Lady Wang at home, Yun Xi felt much more relaxed. She only had to take the children to study and read every day.

After all, Li Chunsheng was old, so Chen Xiucai taught him for three months. He not only went through the Three Hundred Thousand but also taught him half of the Analects of Confucius. In addition, Li Chunsheng had already mastered arithmetic.

Chen Xiucai taught Li Chunsheng completely according to his needs, including recognizing words, explaining their meanings, practicing calligraphy, and doing accounting, etc. He was not strict. Fortunately, Li Chunsheng remembered Yun Xi's advice that if the tuition was expensive, he should learn to make up for it, and not give up studying because of the high tuition, so he mastered the knowledge very well.

As for Yanran, this child is open-minded and is quite liked by Baiyu. She does not have much pressure in studying. Chen Xiucai teaches her reading and math just like he teaches boys. Baiyu will teach her cooking, embroidery and how to behave in society.

Only Xia Qing was somewhat confused, especially in comparison.
