Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

It was past the hour of Hai [11pm], the three brothers went to the west room and looked around to see who was home except dad. The women, old people and children were all there. Little Milk Boy waved his little hands and shouted, "Ahhh, get out of the way!", waving his little hands. Little Milk Boy went to the supermarket to buy something for the family again. , Boom, a bucket of peanut oil for grandma to make pancakes. , Pa pa pa, three more buckets, everyone still felt it was magical, but not scared anymore. Old Lady Li put down her work and went out to close the gate. Old Man Chai hadn't come back yet, so Old Lady Li also closed the door and locked it. When Old Man Chai came back, he gently pushed the door, but it didn't open. He felt confused and kept a vigilant eye on the movements around him! He quietly went to the back of the house, squatted down, and listened!

Little Milkbag swiped out five barrels of corn oil. He also bought children's underwear for his two older brothers, and some for the adults. Ten sets of warm clothes for women, and one for men. Little Milkbag thought, Uncle, Daddy, and Grandpa, working takes a lot of clothes. Buy more sets. Forty sets, all in large sizes! He swiped out some more fabric: cotton, a quilt cover, pure cotton with small floral patterns in a dark color, and a few sheets. That's enough, it'll get us through the winter! He also found a few bags of seeds for Grandpa to plant next year. Grandpa won't have to worry anymore! Little Milkbag thought, when I grow up, I'll help Grandpa with work and never let him go hungry! Little Milkbag smiled and said, "Ahhh, Grandma, put it away!" He waved his little hands.

Old Lady Li said, "First, fetch the oil and put it under the kang in my room." The three brothers and their wives went together. Old Lady Li went back in and sorted things out. There was still some space, so she said, "Wang Min, go find a sheet and bring the cloth. Fourth Brother, you go get it. We don't have any boxes at home, so put it here first." She put the cloth at the edge of the kang. Old Lady Li put it away and left. Everyone returned to Fourth Brother's room and opened the plastic bags. They were men's clothes, forty bags. Old Lady Li took one out and compared it with Fourth Brother. It was about right, so she gave it to him. She took out another one for the eldest brother to compare, too, and gave it to the eldest. She took another one for the second brother. Old Lady Li found a sack and put the rest in it. She carried it to her room and put it in the kang hole. Old Lady Li took out the two women's clothes and divided them up, then went to put them away before coming back. Old Lady Li also took her own clothes and put them back in her room. She put them under the pillow and covered them up. Back to Fourth Brother's room, Old Lady Li took the child's clothes back to her room, and her grandson slept with her. Also put it under the pillow.

Old Lady Li asked her sons to open the cloth bags. They were overjoyed to see that they were filled with unknown seeds. Old Lady Li said that they would know the answer after planting them next year. She asked her three sons to carry them on their backs. Old Lady Li took the key to the warehouse and put it in the warehouse where it was cool and dry. After entering, Old Lady Li found a corner to put the bags of seeds away and found some rags to cover them. The warehouse was behind the eldest and second sons' houses. They were leaning against each other. Old Lady Li locked the door and put the key in place. The third son went to the fourth son's house while Old Lady Li went to open the gate. Old Man Chai was squatting at the door, watching the gate. Old Man Chai came in and Old Lady Li locked the door again. Then she went to the fourth son's house.

The two wives were looking at a large piece of cloth, a double layer with edges that could be pulled apart. It was about the same size as a quilt. Li Ru said, "Try putting the quilt on." Li Ru picked up the child, and the three women put the quilt in. It was just right, a large quilt, so the inside wouldn't get dirty. When washing, they could just take it off and wash the outer cover, saving effort. It was nice and durable. Old Lady Li asked the two wives to sew the four edges with needles and thread. This way, the quilt inside wouldn't curl up. The rest was all women's work. The fourth brother said to his father, "We still want to go pull up hemp stalks. Dad, do you want to go?" Old Man Chai said, "Yes." It was midnight now. It was a good time to go. The three brothers went to find strips of cloth. Old Man Chai said, "What for?" The fourth brother said, "Pull up hemp stalks. There are many thorns on the stalks, which prick your hands. There are no thorns at the roots. Pull them out!" The little kid was almost asleep when he heard what his father said. He quickly bought him some gloves. With two swishes, a strange object fell to the ground. The little kid stretched out his little hands and shook them, "Daddy, hands." The fourth child took out one and put it on his hand, but it was not tight, so he changed to the other hand. Oh, it was just right, he pulled it up and it was just right, so he went to find another one and looked at a pair. It was made of leather, which was better than wrapping cloth. There is also a kind of hard cloth, which is even more thorn-proof. That's it, the fourth child put on a pair. Haha, there are so many, the leather can block the wind, keep it, the other three people took a look and went to look for it too. There were canvas, wool and leather gloves, for men and women. Old lady Li wrapped up the rest and put them back in her room, on the kang! The eldest daughter-in-law followed and watched the family go away. Close the door and lock it. Go back and continue to sew the quilt. Old lady Li took the quilts of the two daughters-in-law and sewed quilt covers on them.

After tidying up the kang, let Li Ru and the children sleep there. Let Huanhuan and Hengheng sleep here tonight, too. Old Lady Li and her wife bundled the flowers into two bags and put them in the storage room. Old Lady Li locked the door! Old Lady Li carried the remaining quilt covers to her room and placed them under the kang. She blocked the area with wooden planks and laid out the kang sheet. She covered them up. She closed the door and went to Old Four's room. Let the children sleep well tonight!

After a while, the eldest son's wife went to the door to listen for any movement, waiting for the men to return. Then, a faint sound approached from afar. Wang Min gently opened the door, took a closer look, and then opened it wider. She let the men in. They went to the east end of the yard, unloaded, and left. The eldest son said, "Close the door securely."

He didn't go until after the Yin hour and almost dawn. Ten trips. The house is almost piled up like a mountain. Tomorrow, we will dig a longer ditch. Wang Min locked the door and put a stick on it. He went back to his room to sleep. The second son's wife and Old Lady Li boiled hot water for the men to take a bath and change into clean clothes. The eldest son even smelled himself. There was no odor, that was good! In fact, it was just the smell of sweat and dirt. Wait until the hemp straw is soaked and scooped up, then it will be smelly. The eldest son went back to the room and closed the door. He didn't take his own quilt. He directly lifted his wife's quilt and went in to sleep. He didn't even clean the bathtub. Everyone rested. The sound of chickens could be heard. Tired but happy!
