Chapter 291: Vicious Female Companion Flees from the Famine and Farms (42)
After a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the family sat around the charcoal basin and kept vigil while roasting the fire.
Since charcoal is needed to burn bricks and tiles, Xu Yin burned some smokeless bamboo charcoal by the way.
However, it is said to be smokeless, that is, it has less smoke and dust than charcoal, and the carbon monoxide emitted when it is not burned sufficiently will not be reduced.
Therefore, every time before using charcoal, she will repeatedly explain to the two small ones: be sure to open a window, or leave a crack in the door.
She also told other families in the village one by one.
"Sister-in-law, last time you asked the old man to bring the bamboo charcoal to the master's house, so that the master could praise it!" Speaking of charcoal, Erlang said in a loud voice, "The master also said that after accepting me as a student, it's time to run!" ”
Xu Yin flicked the roasted sweet potatoes in the charcoal basin and couldn't help laughing: "Master, that's a kind word." ”
"Not really!" Erlang's chest was straight, and he wanted to list a few of the significant changes he brought to the master's family after he became a student of the master, and he didn't want to be picked up by his eldest brother.
"Big brother, what are you doing!"
"It's not too early, you and the third sister should go to bed!"
"I'm not sleepy yet."
"You're sleepy."
"I'm not sleepy."
"You're sleepy!
...... "Big brother, you're so unreasonable!"
Li Yuanjin waited for the two cubs to let out a long breathing sound, and then gently closed the door of the cubs' room and tiptoed back to the hall.
saw his wife holding her chin and looking at him with a smile, as if she had seen through his intentions.
The blood all over his body seemed to be boiling at this moment, and even his ears were frighteningly hot.
"Ahem." He clenched his fists over his lips, cleared his throat, and sat down next to her, "They're asleep." ”
"Oh." Xu Yin still looked at him with a smile, and suddenly called his name, "Li Yuanjin." ”
The tips of his ears quivered, and his Adam's apple rolled visibly, as if a response came from deep in his throat: "Huh? ”
Xu Yin chuckled, stopped teasing him, and pinched out a sweet potato: "It's so fragrant!" Want to eat? ”
As soon as the words fell, he was beaten and hugged by him.
Xu Yin didn't notice it for a while, and as soon as she let go of her hand, the tongs fell to the ground, and she had subconsciously wrapped her hands around his neck.
"What are you doing!"
After the panic, the tone was a little unangry and delicate.
Li Yuanjin chuckled a few times, as if in response to her previous inquiry: "It's really fragrant!" I really want to eat it! ”
“……”
Chinese New Year's Eve is a day of reunion.
Well, he really practiced and implemented it.
Xu Yin vowed: I will never tease people casually in the future.
The cost is too great to bear.
On the first day of the first lunar month, the sun is shining.
Xu Yin stretched out in the quilt, and her whole body was so sore that she bared her teeth.
A man's chuckle came from above.
"Didn't you wake up early?"
"Well, after boiling the water, do you want to wash it? Or, I'll carry you to Dongshan Pass to soak in warm soup? ”
"Forget it." Xu Yin shook her head.
It's all at this point, and the chances of being bumped into are too great.
"Wow! Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, is this my New Year's bag? ”
"Second brother, I also have it."
"Wow wow! That's a lot of money! ”
"Second brother, mine is a little hairpin."
"I'm definitely hoping for the biggest New Year's bag in the village!"
"Second brother and me!"
“……”
There was a conversation between the brother and sister outside the house, and after a while, the footsteps gradually faded away, as if they had gone out to find their respective friends.
Li Yuanjin lowered her eyes and looked into her smiling eyes: "You hid in the room yesterday afternoon to seal the New Year's bag for the two of them?" ”
"I didn't put a few pennies, I'm happy!"
"Then why didn't I? Lady, you are eccentric! ”
“…… So I'll wrap one for you? ”
"Well, it's up to me to decide how much to pack."
“…… How much do you want to pack? ”
"You. I want to wrap a lady, a whole lady. ”
Xu Yin: "......"
Say for a long time, are you kidding me?
In ancient times, there was no winter vacation, and after the first day of the first lunar month, Li Yuanjin returned to the barracks, and took Erlang to Wenfuzi by the way.
Xu Yin packed a bag of food for each of them, and prepared a New Year's gift for Master Wen.
Sending away one big and one small, Xu Yin began to prepare for spring ploughing.
When a flood comes, you need to take precautions, and if it doesn't come, you can farm normally.
Other families do the same, and they do whatever she does.
Especially those households that did not have an ideal harvest last autumn almost followed suit, for fear that they would miss the harvest if they made a mistake.
When the people of Yamashita Village met them, they pointed and laughed: "Hey! What about floods? Why is there no shadow? ”
"I heard that you threw yourself on the river for a month in order to prevent water? It's a pity, it's been a month in vain! ”
"Tsk, how nice it is that there are so many bricks wasted, and there is no land to send us to build a house!"
Cuilan came to Xu Yin angrily to complain: "They are too much!" He even scolded us for being a bad breed who escaped from the famine, and said that we escaped from the famine and got addicted! Everything looks like a famine...... I'm! I'm! ”
"Whatever they do! As long as we feel that the month was not in vain. Xu Yin enlightened her.
"That's what that sounds annoying!"
"It means you're too idle, come! Help me cut the vegetables together, and I'll give you two later, this dish tastes good! I am reluctant to give it to ordinary people. ”
Xu Yin was busy picking up winter cabbage, and simply pulled Cuilan to be a strong man.
“……”
Just when Xu Yin put two acres of winter cabbage into the house, picked out the good ones and hoarded them in the system warehouse, and the rest were neatly stacked in the corner of the stove room to find a time to pickle sauerkraut, the spring thunder started.
"Wow-"
"Boom—"
An extremely strong lightning bolt tore through the sky, and the muffled thunder rolled and shook the sky.
The bean-sized raindrops crackled and fell, and soon it became a downpour.
The rain poured down from the sky.
Xu Yin put on a coat and a hat, ran from her house to Lihua's house to pick up the third sister, and when she picked up the third sister and returned home, the two of them were still drenched in soup while wearing rain gear, and their embroidered shoes were filled with a lot of muddy water.
Fortunately, there was hot water in the pot, so I first soaked the third sister in a hot bath, dried it and wrapped it in a cotton robe to let her sit in the quilt and read the homemade comic books, and it was her turn to wash it herself.
After taking a shower, drying your long hair, and starting to make dinner.
Outside the house, except for the sound of rain, all noise cannot be heard, giving people a feeling of isolation.
This made Xu Yin's heart more and more uneasy.
The people of Hope Village are extremely fortunate to live in a brick house at this moment.
If it is still the small cabin with a straw roof when I first arrived, I am afraid that it has been chiseled through the roof by the rain, and there is no way to hide.
"Good boy! I've never seen such a heavy rain in my life. ”
"God may feel that he owes us a few rains, so he will compensate us at one time today, right?"
"I don't know if there is a lower line in my hometown, if only it was so big, the drought has finally passed."
"It's hard to say! I'm afraid that Tongxing Mansion is not down, and it's all in this area! ”
The rain lasted from the evening until the early morning of the next day, and after a while, everyone thought it was time to stop, and when there was no rain, they looked forward to the rain, and they kept worrying about the crops in the fields.
However, after breakfast, the rain not only did not stop, but became heavier again.
