Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Since meeting Xi Jiangyue that day, Mu Xianyun has not left his home. When the villagers learned of this, they all said that he was going to change his ways.

Li Yinyin only heard it briefly and didn't take it to heart. But she was quite satisfied that no one would suddenly come out to disturb her when she went to play with her girlfriends.

Li Niu Niu was two years older than her and was being confined to the house making purses. After sewing two stitches, she leaned against Li Yin Yin and said, "Yin Yin, lend me your skillful hands!"

“You can embroider a couple of stitches and the mandarin ducks are mandarin ducks, and the flowers are flowers. I can put my heart into it for half a day and my father still thinks it is a stone.”

"I told my mother I didn't have the talent, but she wouldn't agree. She insisted that I at least make a purse and a pair of shoes. How long would that take me?"

Li Yinyin held the purse she had made and examined it carefully, saying, "Don't think about embroidering first. Practice making neat stitches, and then choose a nice piece of fabric. That will impress people just the same."

Li Niu Niu's eyes lit up: "Yin Yin, you're right! That's how I'll practice. It's easier than embroidery, and I can explain it to my mother. You're so smart!"

After Li Niu Niu finished speaking, she quickly dismantled the messy embroidery and tried her best to fix the edges.

Before long, she didn't want to continue. She looked at the weather outside and asked, "Yinyin, when do you think my second cousin and the others will be back? They said they would be back during the busy farming season, but the rice is almost ready to be harvested. Will they be able to make it in time?"

Li Yinyin also missed her brother a little. She rested her chin on her hand and thought about it seriously: "My brother said he can come back now, and he definitely can. It will be in the next few days at most."

Hearing her say that, Li Niu Niu became expectant again: "Before my older brother left, he said that when he came back he would bring me a pretty new hair tie and buy me some pretty floral fabric so that Mom could make me new clothes."

"Yinyin, did your second cousin say what he brought you?"

Li Yinyin was silent for a moment, then said, "Can I say that my brother has already sent the things back, and then I asked for a lot more?"

"He didn't say, but there will definitely be lots of good food. I'll definitely bring some to eat with you!"

“Great!” Li Niuniu was overjoyed. “Thank you, Yinyin. Now I’m in for a treat!”

As soon as she finished speaking, a commotion arose outside, sounding like quite a few people were talking.

At first, Li Yinyin thought it was just some problem in the village and they were coming to the village chief for mediation, so she didn't pay much attention. But then the voices got closer and closer, and she suddenly stood up.

"I think I heard my brother talking!"

Li Niu Niu listened carefully and asked, "It sounds like my brother is here too?"

One person might mishear, but when two people are together, there's definitely no other choice.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly ran out together.

"elder brother!"

"Yinyin?" Li Chengming turned his head and saw his younger sister. His serious face broke into a smile. He opened his arms and picked her up. "Did you come to play with Niu Niu?"

Li Yinyin quickly nodded: "Brother, your hair is dirty."

“Everyone was in a hurry to get back and harvest the crops, so they rushed on the way,” Li Chengming said, as he was about to put her down.

Li Yinyin quickly hugged his neck: "I don't mind, brother."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengming couldn't help but laugh even harder, then turned to say goodbye to the village chief.

"Uncle, I'll take Yinyin back first, and we'll discuss which family to start with tomorrow."

The village chief felt sorry for his son, whom he hadn't seen for several months, and knew that he still wanted to take his sister back to see his wife, so he announced directly, "Go back, everyone. You came back early, so resting for a couple more days is just right."

Li Chengming and a group of strong young men from the village came out together, and soon they all went home.

Li Chengming adjusted his posture and placed Li Yinyin on his shoulder: "Yinyin, sit tight, we're about to set off!"

Li Yinyin's eyes lit up, and she hugged his head tightly: "I'm ready!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengming immediately sped up and started running.

"Let's go!"

Li Yinyin was pulled back slightly, but quickly regained her balance, leaving behind a string of crisp laughter.

Mu Xianyun, who was washing her hands in the yard, heard the sound and looked up to see the identical cheerful smiles on the faces of the brother and sister.

He was momentarily stunned. The Li Chengming he remembered was always gloomy, cold, and devoid of warmth. So this was what Li Chengming was like when his wife and sister were still alive.

Mu's son stood frozen in the yard and asked, "Xianyun, why didn't you come in after washing your hands? Did you think of something to write?"

Mu Xianyun snapped out of her reverie and nodded in response, "I have some ideas for solving the problem. Mother, you two eat first, I'll go write it down."

Mother Mu's eyes lit up: "Alright, alright, go ahead, I'll tell Father and Mother to save some vegetables just for you."

“No need,” Mu Xianyun said, “I’m just jotting down the idea; I’ll be there in a bit.”

Li Yinyin didn't care at all what had happened at the Mu family's house. At this moment, she and her older brother had quickly entered the house and saw Yu Qiaoyun directing the servants to pack up their things.

This time, when her older brother put Li Yinyin down, she didn't complain at all. She saw him pick her up and spin her around twice.

It's great, I love watching it, please come back often!

Li Yinyin's eyes were bright, and she covered her mouth with both hands, afraid of making the slightest sound and disturbing her older brother and sister-in-law.

Wow, their eyes are practically drooling! The live performance was so sweet!

After spending some time being close to her brother, the sister-in-law noticed Li Yinyin standing to the side and couldn't help but blush.

"Put me down quickly, Yinyin is here!"

Lin Yinyin shrank back. Why can't I become invisible? I'm just being superfluous!

Li Chengming glanced at his sister, then turned to comfort his wife: "You know perfectly well that Yinyin loves to see us get along well."

Li Yinyin nodded frantically beside her: "Yes, yes, yes, Big Brother is right!"

Yu Qiaoyun glared at her husband and nudged him, saying, "The water is ready. Wash up first before you eat."

As soon as Li Chengming left, Yu Qiaoyun quickly said, "Yinyin, come and see, do you like this piece of cloth?"

"Your older brother said it's lace from the Western Regions. It does look very fresh to me. How about we have someone make you two aprons?"

Lace?

Li Yinyin went closer and found that it really was; such a large piece would be quite valuable in these days.

She touched the pattern, studied it for a moment, and suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, I think I know how to make this!"

Yu Qiaoyun was stunned for a moment: "Yinyin?"

“It’s like this first, then that, and then use a crochet hook,” Li Yinyin gestured for a long time but still couldn’t make her sister-in-law understand, so she simply said, “Later, let’s see if there’s a crochet hook among the things my brother brought back. If there is, I’ll make sure to crochet it for you, sister-in-law.”

"Such a large area needs further study, but outlining a lace-like pattern should be feasible."

"Yinyin," Yu Qiaoyun hugged her tightly, her face full of surprise, "My sister is really amazing. She only took one look and she already figured out how to crochet these patterns."

"When the time comes, have your brother bring people to learn, arrange for people to make it, and have your brother sell it all to the Western Regions."

"They sell us things at increasingly higher prices, so let's find a way to make some money off them!"
