Chapter 1011: The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-law of a Blessed Farmer (6)
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Cui said with a trembling heart: "Why don't you stop going up the mountain before your eldest brother comes back?"
"It's okay, mother, I just need to avoid her." Cui Qiaoqiao said disapprovingly, "Ms. Xu is very lazy. Even if she goes up the mountain to grab food, she won't get up very early. I just need to come back before she goes up the mountain."
Mrs. Cui heard that this was indeed the case. The woman was so lazy that she often slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. At this time, all the people who went to work in the fields came back from the fields to have lunch.
“Mom, little brother, eat quickly! I’ll pick it up tomorrow after you finish eating.”
Ms. Cui was so amused that she couldn't help but smile: "You kid! You're talking like those pheasants and hares kiss you so much that they are vying to bump into you."
Cui Jikang burped and said with a smile: "This shows that my little sister is loved by God."
“You can’t say this nonsense.”
Cui Qiaoqiao glanced at the younger brother and said this, but he felt very happy in his heart.
How could she have lived a new life if she hadn't been favored by God? Have you become a lucky person?
In this life, she must live a wonderful life and live a long life!
…
The next day, just after dawn, Xu Yin woke up from the sound of birdsong.
After washing up, I drank a bowl of millet and coix seed porridge to nourish the stomach and remove dampness. I put on long pants and long sleeves, sprayed on mosquito repellent, and went up the mountain when I was ready.
She has a heavy task today - she plans to cut down a few trees to strengthen the thatched house.
If there is any bamboo, cut it down and weave bamboo mats, bamboo curtains, and bamboo baskets and baskets for storing things, so as to make the shelter safer and more comfortable as soon as possible.
The end of the village is at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. Walk straight for fifty meters and turn north to reach the mountain entrance. It is very convenient to go up the mountain.
To the south is the low-lying depression in Dawa Village. Over time, a wild lake and pond were formed, surrounded by reeds.
Because of this, there are almost no homes in this area. They are all afraid of the wild beasts coming down from the mountains to attack. If you live close, you will bear the brunt.
Xu Yin actually thinks that this location is quite good, with mountains on its back and a lake on its back, with a photo in front and a back in the back. It’s a great Feng Shui treasure.
She admired the countryside scenery in the late spring morning all the way, and went up the mountain carrying the broken backpack she had received from her family.
First cut down the trees, pile them together, pull out a clump of soft vines, and braid a rope that is stronger than hemp rope to tie the trees up so that they can be easily transported down the mountain.
After finishing this work, she sat down to rest for a while, drank a few sips of dandelion light bamboo leaf tea that strengthened the spleen and removed dampness to moisten her throat, and then had her second breakfast.
The previous meal was purely to moisten the stomach, and she couldn't eat much so early in the morning.
Now is the time to eat normally.
She ate a shrimp tamales, a cup of cherry and blueberry berries, and drank a glass of soy milk.
After eating and drinking, the sky was getting brighter. She took advantage of the morning light to pick dew-covered mushrooms and fungus in the forest, and also dug out a few plump, white and tender spring bamboo shoots.
It wasn't until the sound of rustling footsteps was heard at the entrance of the mountain, and the basket on the back was full, that the search stopped. The basket was carried on the back, the net bag made of vines and straw was carried in the left hand, and the large bundle of wood was dragged untiedly with the right hand. Slowly descending the mountain.
After walking for a while, he unexpectedly met Cui Qiaoqiao head-on.
Two people: “…”
Xu Yin is relatively calm. She knows that her sister-in-law often runs to the mountains recently, and with the blessing of koi luck, she can find a lot of good things as if she were pretending to be a dog. She would do the same thing in her place.
But Cui Qiaoqiao was extremely surprised.
She didn’t expect that the day after they separated, she would meet the evil and lazy sister-in-law on the mountain.Has this person changed his gender? Normally at this time I would be snoring loudly.
Xu Yin: “…”
With your small body, if I really want to do something to you, would it be useful to hold a hatchet in another hand?
But she won’t do anything. The other party is a reborn heroine with luck in the koi carp. Do you think that your life is too long to fight against the heroine in the koi carp fate?
The two passed by each other calmly, one going down the mountain and the other going up the mountain.
Seeing the distance between them getting longer and longer, Cui Qiaoqiao slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and her small body almost fell to the ground.
She was so nervous that her heart was in her throat just now. She was worried that Mrs. Xu would take advantage of the fact that no one was around to do something dirty to her. With her current small body, she really couldn't resist.
It seems that I will have to get up earlier in the future to avoid running into her again.
Say, Mrs. Xu took the wrong medicine today? Have you become so diligent after the separation?
Cui Qiaoqiao thought he had guessed it right, so he stopped thinking about it and continued to go up the mountain to make money.
On the other side, Xu Yin wiped away her sweat on the way down the mountain and thought about losing weight as soon as possible.
This body is too slow, her walking is not brisk at all, and it also affects her ability to exert her permanent divine power.
Having said that, several village women who came to the foot of the mountain to dig weeds and pick mushrooms with baskets on their backs saw her dragging a bundle of wood that was taller than a person and walking back easily, and their eyes were filled with shock. Stared out.
Be good! Meng Jin’s wife is so strong! She dragged such a big bundle of wood down the mountain at once?
"Speaking of which, isn't he quite diligent? He's not as lazy as Mr. Cui said!" Someone looked at Xu Yin's back and muttered in a low voice.
“How credible can it be for a mother-in-law to criticize her daughter-in-law?” A young daughter-in-law who was suffering under her mother-in-law curled her lips and said.
"I heard that the family was separated not because she was lazy, but because she was such a good eater. She had almost eaten up the Cui family's remaining grain within three months of her marriage, and Aunt Qiuhua couldn't do anything about it."
“It’s not her fault that she can eat because she is so strong!”
“Even my family’s mouth can eat, but who wants him to be the strong laborer in the family? You can’t let the cows work and not let the cows eat grass at the same time!”
Everyone was talking about the truth about the separation of the Cui family.
Xu Yin didn’t go out since she got home. She strengthened the house and dried thatch in the morning, and laid the roof and weaved bamboo curtains in the afternoon.
Put the curtains first.
The windows are solid windows supported by wooden slats. If they are closed during the day, the room will be dark and stuffy. But if they are opened, there will be no obstruction at all, so hang up the braided curtains first.
Then came the door curtains, partition curtains, and finally the bamboo mats on the bed.
When these are all compiled, then organize the household items.
Although she is not in a hurry, she is quick with her hands and knits every day when she has free time. Many new bamboo knitting products have been added to her home one after another -
The big dustpan on the ground in the yard is drying the mushrooms, fungus, and bamboo shoots picked on the mountain;
There are rows of skips lined up under the eaves, with herbs arranged in categories to dry;
Lifting the door curtain and walking into the house, there are a pile of baskets of different sizes stacked in the corner like matryoshka dolls;
There is an extra bowl for leftover rice on the stove;
On the newly beaten log dining table, a shallow small basket holds a plate of fresh wild fruits;
On the old tree stump used as a bedside table in the bedroom, there was a broken teacup in a hollow bamboo vase with a few sprigs of azalea.
