Chapter 253 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (3)
Many people have a thought: Be good! This is so powerful!
Two stones of grain, even for them in their prime, required some effort.
Don’t talk about women. Which of the capable women in the village does not grit her teeth and blush while picking up the grain?
Who is like this little lady? It seems that what she is carrying is not food, but two empty baskets.
Uncle Li and Aunt Li were also stunned.
Aunt Li couldn't help but touch the back of her neck, which felt a little chilly.
He said in his heart that luckily there was no fight. With this strength, let alone her own, even if her son comes, he may not be her match!
Someone whispered: "No wonder her brother and sister-in-law are in a hurry to marry her off. She must be very good at eating. How much does she need to eat every day for such a strong effort..."
Xu Yin acted as if she hadn't heard anything. She carried two baskets of grain steadily and still had time to lead her third sister by the hand.
She showed off her divine power on purpose.
There is no mature man in the family, just her and the two carrots. People with ulterior motives may come to the door to steal and rob. I can't say that it can be prevented 100%, but it can act as a deterrent to some extent.
When Xu Yin got home, she saw Erlang and Sanmei looking at her with admiring eyes, and rubbed their heads in a funny way:
"Go in, Erlang, do you know how to remove the chaff? I'll return the baskets and poles and come back to cook some dry rice for you."
When they heard that there was dry rice to eat, the two carrot heads were very happy. They worked together to wash and dry the pestle and mortar. One took the pestle and stick, the other scooped out the millet, and pounded the rice with a bang.
Xu Yin left and came back quickly. When she came back, she took over the work from the two children and pounded the rice for today's meal in three strokes, five divisions and two divisions.
Then Erlang lit the fire and she cooked.
It was said to be dry rice, but considering that the three of them had not eaten dry rice for a long time, their stomachs were accustomed to clear soups with less water, so they might not be used to it if they were filled with dry rice all at once, so they added more water and simmered a pot of soft rice that was thicker than porridge.
When I went to return something just now, I took a handful of brown sugar and exchanged it for six eggs with the enthusiastic village woman just now.
Four were collected, two were scattered, and stir-fried together with the leeks picked in the shade behind the house that had shriveled due to lack of water.
There was no oil at home, but scrambled eggs didn’t taste good without oil, so she secretly added some walnut oil stored in the system warehouse.
Scrambled eggs with leeks and soft rice, Xu Yin thought it was a simple farm meal, but the two children were extremely satisfied with it.
After eating, Xu Yin took a pole and a bucket and went to the river to pick up a few buckets of water. She filled the water tank at home with water and boiled the extra water for the two children to bathe.
There is not much water in the river, and the bottom stepping stones are exposed at the river pier.
Lijiacun is located near a mountain. There used to be streams flowing into the river all year round, and even the riverbanks would overflow during the rainy season.
There has been little rain this year. It has not rained since the beginning of spring. Not to mention that the streams have been cut off and the rivers are almost dry.
The water Xu Yin picked up was turbid and had to be clarified before drinking.
Erlang and Sanmei looked at her movedly.
“Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work!”
“Sister-in-law, are you tired? I’ll give you a good beating.”
Three sisters in sweet cotton-padded jackets held Xu Yin’s shoulders with her soft little fists.
Xu Yin lamented that children from farm families mature early.
“Thank you, third sister, but I’m not tired. I’m very strong.”
“Sister-in-law, is the water in the river drying up soon?” Erlang asked worriedly. He began to worry about his livelihood at a young age.
Xu Yin looked at the clear blue sky without a trace of haze in the distance. Thinking of the drought mentioned in the plot, she sighed in her heart.
In ancient times, there was no artificial rainfall, and human power could not resist the weather.
She has seen it, and [Floating Light and Misty Rain] still cannot be used in this world.
It can’t be used in modern times, in the world of cultivation, or in ancient times. I can’t think of any other world where it can be used.
Energy point balance: 10,000.
Task progress bar: 11%.
Maximum time ratio: 1100:1
Random skill: [Universal Voice Actor], which can simulate all sounds of people and nature.
Xu Yin was a little confused after reading:
Did the post-film control group complete the task poorly? Why are the rewards so much less than in the previous small world?
As a patient, she has to be so careful, and during this period she is also running around filming movies and recording variety shows. How easy is it for her!
System, come out! Let’s chat!
But having said that, 10,000 energy points is actually a lot, but who makes it difficult to switch from luxury to frugality.
After having tasted the sweetness brought by the 50,000 energy points of the World Championship, I suddenly felt that it was not delicious when I saw that the first number was a match stick 1.
Looking at the random skill [Universal Voice Actor] again, what is this? Simulate various sounds?
She's not a ventriloquist, so what's the use?
It’s better to give him a useful skill similar to [Permanent Divine Power]. For example, if you run fast, you can walk as if you have used Lingbo Weibu.
It’s a pity that I have no choice.
Xu Yin threw the seemingly useless [universal voice actor] into the skill warehouse.
Looking up at the cloudless sky, I am once again worried about the drought described in the plot and the subsequent locust plague. How can I solve it?
The high-tech products available in the system mall do include equipment for digging deep underground water or making artificial rainfall, but the quantity may be prohibitive.
Is escape really the only option left?
But even if he escapes, where to escape is a question.
Xu Yin was giving Sanmei a bath while she was thinking.
Erlang can wash himself, Xu Yin only needs to wash his hair for him.
After the two children had taken a bath, Xu Yin helped them dry their hair and put on clean clothes. She found that their clothes and pants were either short or torn.
In this current situation, even if she has a lot of thick cotton cloth in the warehouse, she cannot use it at will. Fortunately, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, so keep it short and make do with it for now.
As for the frayed areas, she picked out a few rags of similar colors and made a few patches.
But she is very skillful with her hands, and the patches she makes look like embroidery.
For example, Erlang’s ripped trousers were embroidered with a cat on the knee; Third Sister’s cuffs, which were starched to the point of splitting, were embroidered with clumps of green bamboo.
The two brothers and sisters were so happy that their eyes narrowed with laughter.
Xu Yin found an inconspicuous dark hair tie and gave her third sister two small buns, which was cute and refreshing.
"Erlang, I'm going to wash clothes downstream and pick up some water to water the vegetable field. You can take care of Third Sister at home and don't open the door for anyone to come." Xu Yin collected the dirty clothes into a basin and raised a pair of buckets and said to Erlang.
“Sister-in-law, I’ll go with you. I can carry water.” Erlang ran over carrying a small bucket.
“I can do that too.” Third sister followed out holding a small wooden basin.
Xu Yin tried to persuade her to no avail, and the two carrot heads insisted on going to help.
"Okay, let's go together. But Third Sister, don't carry the basin. Come and carry the bucket with Erlang. Later, sister-in-law will see what food is in the river and put it in your small bucket."
"Why!"
The two carrot heads responded very simply.
This is the first time their sister-in-law has taken them out since they entered the house.
Oh no, it’s the second time! The first time was at noon when I went to my uncle’s house to ask for food.
Thinking of two baskets full of food at home, Erlang couldn't suppress the raised corners of his mouth.
