"These books were given to Yu'er by Aunt Wan, let Yu'er use them in the school, and when Yu'er is two years older, she will be able to go to school." Lan Yi said with a smile.

When Yu'er heard that it was for him, she looked up at Lan Yi, and after getting the confirmation, she held the book in her arms and grinned happily.

"Mother first teaches Yu'er to read at home, so that Yu'er can know more words than other children when she goes to school, and the children will think that Yu'er is very powerful, and when Yu'er learns, she will teach her younger brother, okay?" Lan Yi said again.

"Okay." He nodded heavily, although he hadn't called Lan Yi his mother yet, but in his heart he had already decided that Lan Yi was his mother, and the baby was his younger brother.

In the past few days, he has been busy with Lin Shan's funeral, the baby is not good in terms of diet or rest, some diarrhea, and his spirit is not good, Lan Yi cooked him millet porridge to remove the fire, and his diet has also been adjusted to be light and easy to digest. Within seven days of Wang Wenshan's burial, the family wanted to be vegetarian to express their grief, and Lan Yi also happened to clear the stomach of Yu'er and the baby, the diet of these three days was a fat broth stew with thick noodles and steamed buns every day, Lan Yi felt that she was also on fire, and only in the eyes of villagers in the countryside who usually have less meat and more vegetables, will they think that such stews are good things.

This morning, Lan Yi got up as usual to get busy with trivial matters, and heard someone knocking on the door. Liu stood in front of the door with a basket on his back, and when he saw Lan Yi, he greeted with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid you won't be able to get up so early." ”

Lan Yi saw the smile on her face, and intuitively felt that nothing good happened. Although Liu is not a top relative, he doesn't have too many bad intentions, but he has a broken mouth and loves to take advantage of it. In the past three days, Lan Yi has been busy in and out, and Lan Yi has seen that she is no worse than Chen's in doing things, and even better than Chen's in the field.

"Third brother and sister, what's wrong with coming here so early?" Lan Yi asked with a smile.

Liu glanced at the courtyard, of course, he couldn't see anything through the shadow wall, "Isn't the family going to build a house, this silver is still a lot short, I came over and pulled out the vegetables and sold them in the market to make up for a few dollars." Let's not compare with my sister-in-law, the eldest brother's funeral can cost more than eight taels, and the Xia family will come over to give you a salute, tsk, that big cart of things, we can see that our eyes are straight! ”

Lan Yi secretly rolled her eyes and led her to the edge of the vegetable garden. In the past few days, the family has been entertaining, and the vegetables are picked from the vegetable garden and the vegetable field of the second uncle's house, so less than half of the vegetables are left, and the vegetables planted by Lan Yi herself have not yet broken the ground and sprouted, and the vegetable field looks a lot more desolate.

"Alas, the family has been coming and going these days, and the dishes have almost been pulled. I don't know how much more I can sell! Liu muttered.

"Third brother and sister, these days at home to entertain guests, thanks to you and the second brother did not help, and also thanks to the vegetables in this vegetable garden, I can save myself from going out to buy. In this way, you sell these vegetables left and right, plus the original ones, you see how much it is worth, I will buy them all, and it will save my younger siblings from going to the market again. Lan Yi really didn't want to take advantage of her, and besides, buying these vegetables would save a lot of trouble.

"Three hundred, what does my sister-in-law think? I didn't ask for much. This was exactly what Liu was thinking, and she hurriedly spoke.

Lan Yi sneered, this person really kicked her nose in the face, and she didn't want to do this wronged thing in vain: "If the third brother and sister think that these dishes are worth three hundred yuan, they will pick them and sell them." "There are only common vegetables such as leeks, shallots, spinach, lettuce and bok choy in this garden, which are worth three hundred dollars.

Seeing that Liu couldn't see it, he quickly grabbed Lan Yi's sleeve and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you see your temperament remember, I haven't finished my words yet." Selling to others is these, and the sister-in-law is a family, of course, not at this price. One hundred and fifty wen, plus the ones that have been removed in the past few days and so many leftovers, this is cheap enough, right? Besides, I also serve this vegetable garden, turning the soil, watering and pulling weeds, and I don't think much about it. ”

Lan Yi nodded, although the price was still a little higher, it was not outrageous, so she went into the house and counted the copper coins for her. Liu happily took them one by one and counted them one by one before putting them in his arms.

After Yu'er and the baby woke up, Lan Yi took them to have breakfast, and then set off to Zhoujia Village to buy some things on the market day. The baby is much better today than yesterday, and began to twist his little body to go by himself, Yu'er read a few ancient poems such as the newly learned grass on the plain, full of joy.

"Brother and sister, are you going out with the child?" After the funeral, the people in the village knew Lan Yi's mother and son, and some people took the initiative to greet her when they went out. Lan Yi paid for Wang Linshan's funeral this time, and under the deliberate publicity of Second Uncle Wang, everyone in the village knew about it, and they also thought a little higher of Lan Yi.

Lan Yi looked up and saw that it was Sister-in-law Niu who lived next door to her: "Sister-in-law Niu, you plan to go to the market to buy something, are you going to the ground?" Sister-in-law Niu carried a hoe and wore a scarf on her head, and she looked like she was about to go to the ground.

"yes. If you don't go to the garden again, it will be deserted. "Sister-in-law Niu is a little fat, she is a cool person, she has been to Lan Yi's house to help in the past few days, and she is familiar with Lan Yi.

After saying goodbye to Sister-in-law Niu, a few more people said hello, Lan Yi responded reasonably, and soon arrived at Zhoujia Village all the way.

In the morning, it was the main market, and the market was full of people, much more lively than the last time Lan Yi came, selling things on both sides one by one, and the shops were all open. Lan Yi held the baby, took Yu'er's hand, and began to look for the small back basket. This is Yu'er's initiative to ask, he wants to baa grass himself in the future, Lan Yi's back basket is too big, about the same size as him, naturally it can't be used.

There are a lot of back baskets sold, Lan Yi saw an old man selling back baskets made of bamboo, the handiwork is good, and the emerald green bamboo pieces look very gratifying. Lan Yi picked a small basket for Yu'er, and bought two wicker dustpans and a small basket for needlework.

Yu'er carried the small back basket on her back, and looked at Lan Yi's big back basket again, with a strong sense of spring on her little face. The treatment of this child since he was a child makes him very demanding in life, and a little kindness to him can make him very happy.

The three of them found a seed shop, Lan Yi bought three liters of soybeans and a bucket of mung beans, and the two acres of land that were recovered were suitable for sowing soybeans and mung beans this season, and Lan Yi planned to use some of them. Mung beans are a good thing to cool off the heat and dispel fire, and soybeans can be ground into soybean milk to drink, which is very nutritious.

Lan Yi searched for it, bought fifteen more chickens, five little geese, according to Yu'er's request, the chicks were placed in his back basket, and the little geese were placed in the small basket for him to hold. Lan Yi originally wanted to buy a few hens that were laying eggs, so that she could boil eggs for the children directly. But in this country, hens that can lay eggs are very expensive, and they are reluctant to sell them. Buy five little geese, Lan Yi also has her own plans, now the three of them live in a big yard, Lan Yi always feels unsafe, the white goose is big enough to watch the house, at least the sound of people and geese is also a reminder. Although no one has come to the door in the past few days, Lan Yi is always on guard and prepared.

Lan Yi bought some necessary supplies again, and did not stop until her back basket was full, so Lan Yi also felt that she had bought too little, after all, there was still a lot of necessary things at home.

The carpenter of the tub ordered on the last day has been done, and the primary paint on the brush has dried. Lan Yi made an appointment with Carpenter Zhou to send it home in the afternoon, and with the bath barrel, she could take a bath happily.

On the way home, there are more chickens and geese, and it is a lot more lively. The baby looked at the little goose in Yu'er's arms, called out to his brother indistinctly, and reached out to him to hug it, so as to look at the little thing in his arms closely. Lan Yi later put the goose into his small basket and washed his hands by the stream for the two children to eat snacks.

When he arrived at home, Yu'er was in a hurry to go out to baa and beat grass, Lan Yi was not at ease, afraid that he would be cut by a knife, so he put the chickens and geese in the firewood room, prepared water and chopped vegetable leaves for them, and soaked some millet before taking the two children out to grass.

To Lan Yi's surprise, Yu'er was very skilled in beating grass, and she was used to doing it at a glance. When Lan Yi asked, he realized that he often had to grass the pigs at home, Lan Yi really couldn't imagine when he started talking about "often", how strong a five-year-old child could be?!

Yu'er's small basket was very small, and it was full of grass, so Lan Yi quickly put a lot of it into her basket and took the two children home.

From today onwards, the leeks, greens and shallots in the yard are all homemade, so you don't have to worry about eating anything. Lan Yi beat two eggs at noon, made green onion egg cakes, and boiled millet spinach porridge, and the family had lunch and took a nap.

Now that she has the fabric, Lan Yi began to think about making clothes, after all, the weather is getting hotter day by day, Yu'er and the baby should also change into short-sleeved or sleeveless clothes, and their own clothes should also be changed to be lighter and more breathable. The women's clothes here are tightly wrapped all year round, just the difference in thickness and thickness, and Lan Yi has to follow the local customs, preparing to make underwear and outerwear for summer.

After repeatedly studying the few existing clothes at home, Lan Yi found that as long as the cloth is cut into several pieces and sewn together, it can be made into clothes, which is simple and complicated, after all, it takes a lot of effort to sew this fabric one by one, especially for people like her who can only sew buttons and embroider cross-stitch, the difficulty is much higher than writing a thesis.

Roll the bath bucket sent by Carpenter Zhou into the West House, and the three of them, mother and son, sleep in the East House, and the West House is empty and used as a bathroom. Lan Yi saw that Zhou Carpenter was real and had a good job, so he ordered two more four-screen shelves, paid a deposit and asked him to do a good job and send them over directly.

Later, Lan Yi took out the sky blue fabric given to her by Xia Wan and cut it about four meters long, took some of the white cloth left over from making filial piety clothes a few days ago, and rushed to Uncle Wang's house with her two children.

Although it is a family, the second uncle's family ran forward and backward for Wang Linshan's funeral, and they did their best. Lan Yi took the fabric over, firstly, to express her gratitude, and secondly, to learn how to make clothes from Chen.
