In the kitchen, Li Yanniang looked at the two remaining pots of food. These two pots of food were not a single dish, but all the leftovers poured together.

When Lin Qingxue came in, she saw Li Yanniang staring at the two pots of food with a sad face. Seeing her coming, Li Yanniang quickly asked, "Qingxue, do you think we should share the leftovers with the villagers? We can't finish them all."

"Let's divide it! Sister-in-law, divide it into thirty bowls and let Xiaoshan and others deliver them to the villagers later," Lin Qingxue said indifferently. Her family didn't lack these dishes, so it would be better to give them away.

"Okay," Li Yanniang nodded with a smile, called Fang Furong to help her divide the dishes, and asked Liu Jiali to call Lin Xiaoshan and others to come over to work.

When Lin Xiaoshan and his two younger brothers returned home after delivering the dishes, Village Chief Lin and several elders who were still drinking had also left the banquet and were sitting in the front hall drinking tea.

Seeing Lin Xiaoshan and the others coming back, Lin Qingming quickly asked them to send Village Chief Lin and several elders home to rest.

When he returned home after sending the person off, it was already dark and a drizzle was falling. Lin Qingxue sat on a chair in the front hall, watching Lin Xiaoshan and his brothers walk in from outside.

He smiled and said, "It's getting cold now, and your uncle hasn't found a college to study at yet. Let him teach you how to read and write at home these few days. Don't neglect the sword skills I taught you."

"I understand, aunt," Lin Xiaoshan looked at each other and responded with a smile. They didn't plan to be idle anyway. They wanted to take a good rest for a few days and then pick it up and continue practicing.

Forget it this time! I'll continue practicing tomorrow, no rest.

"Boss, you guys have some free time these days, so fence off the back of the kitchen. Isn't there a door there? Then you can keep the chickens and ducks there. I think the weather is not right, it might snow in the next few days."

Old Man Lin sat next to Mrs. Lin and said with a serious face. Lin Qingxue's two daughters were held in Mrs. Lin's arms and were fed by her.

"I understand, Master," Lin Qingming responded. He had been busy recently and had forgotten about this matter.

"Brother, remember to use a fishing net to catch the top to prevent the chickens from flying away. You can open up the land at the other end to grow vegetables. Don't plant a vegetable garden outside the outer gate."

Lin Qingxue suggested in a low voice that she planned to let Teacher Lin and Mrs. Lin take care of the vegetable garden at home. After all, the two elders couldn't sit still, and it was better to let them be in charge of the vegetable garden than to let them go out to open up wasteland and farm.

"I understand, Qingxue," Lin Qingming glanced at Teacher Lin and Mrs. Lin, and nodded at Lin Qingxue, indicating that she understood.

The brothers and sisters chatted for a while, and then they heard Li Yan's mother calling them to eat, so they all went to the restaurant to eat.

After dinner, the family took turns taking a hot bath and then went back to their own rooms to rest.

After a busy day, everyone just wants to have a good sleep and recharge their batteries, as there are still many things to do!

Just when everyone was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, heavy snow began to fall from the sky. The snow was very conspicuous when it fell on the ground, and it fell all night accompanied by the cold wind.

When the Lin family woke up the next morning, the ground and the roof were covered with a thick layer of pure white snow.

The temperature change was noticed as soon as we got out of bed. Remembering what Old Man Lin said yesterday about snowing, everyone knew what was going on.

Li Yanniang and her three sisters-in-law were the first to get up. They put on thick cotton coats and trousers and went to the kitchen in the front yard to prepare breakfast for the family.

After Lin Qingxue and the others got up, they washed up and went to the front yard to have breakfast. Seeing that it was still snowing outside, she felt quite uncomfortable. It seemed that she had to go to the city early to buy a maid. Otherwise, it would be too torturous to let her three sisters-in-law do the laundry and cooking in such a cold day.

"Sister-in-law, where are my eldest brother and the others?" Lin Qingxue didn't see Lin Qingming and his brothers after breakfast, so she asked Li Yanniang curiously.

"Your three brothers are building a wall. Didn't grandpa say yesterday that we should fence off the back of the kitchen to raise chickens and ducks?" Li Yan's mother answered with a smile while cleaning up the dishes.

Lin Qingxue nodded, turned to look at Lin Qingyue, and said, "Qingyue, go ask my younger brother and Xiaoshan and the others to help big brother and the others, and ask big brother to come over. I want to go to the city to buy some things. It's snowing now, and I guess we won't be able to go to the city for a while. We should buy the things we need at home while the road is still passable."

"We have to buy some vegetables. We don't have much left at home. Qingxue, Liu Er's wife is about to give birth. Go buy some cotton cloth and cotton so I can make her some small clothes and quilts."

When she heard that they were going to the city to buy things, Liu Jiali quickly spoke up. Everyone knew the Liu family's situation and could understand her.

"Qingxue, you should also buy some cloth for your second sister-in-law, enough to make two sets of thick clothes for your second brother. His cotton coats and trousers are a bit thin, and the cloth is worn out. I want to make him two new sets to change into," Fang Furong also said.

"Okay! Is there any cloth left?" Lin Qingxue nodded and agreed without thinking. Thinking that she had bought a lot of cloth before, she asked again.

"There wasn't much left. I saw that the cotton cloth was very soft, so I used it to make underwear for everyone. I also made a few pairs of pants for the men in the family. The underwear we had worn for several years was all worn out. I also made two sets of clothes for grandparents and parents. The rest was used to make socks for Xiaoshan and his brothers."

Li Yanniang did not hide anything and told the truth about where the cloth had gone. She knew that Lin Qingxue would definitely not tell her.

"Why are you making them for my brother and his family? Sister-in-law, you guys need new clothes too! How about this! There are a lot of people at home, so the three of you can go shopping with me later! Buy whatever we need so we don't have to go to the city every now and then."

Thinking of my sisters-in-law who work hard every day, I have been in the southern suburbs of the imperial city for almost two months and have never had a good time in the city.

Lin Qingxue thought that while the snow was not heavy and the roads were still walkable, she could take a few sisters-in-law to the city for a walk, leaving her grandparents and the children at home. The weather was cold, and she would not feel comfortable with them going with her.

When the weather is better, I will take everyone to the city to go shopping. Now, just take my three sisters-in-law with you.

After hearing Lin Qingxue's words, Li Yanniang and the other two looked at each other, and the excitement that flashed in their eyes was seen by each other.

"Go! Go! There's nothing much to do at home, just prepare food for the whole family. Grandma, Auntie, and Qingyue are all at home, so they can do it. Then call Xiaoshan and Xiaotao over to carry your things. We'll set up two carriages, one for people and one for things."

Lin Qingxue did not miss the excitement in the eyes of her three sisters-in-law. She coaxed them and said that they were very good to her, so she would naturally return the favor.
