Anyway, everyone in the family has been wondering why, these days, the rice, flour and oil at home are being used up so quickly. We use a lot every day, but there's still a lot left over.

They probably racked their brains but couldn't figure out why.

You'll be amazed at how durable this stuff really is!

Outside, Liu Jing was already sitting, and some other families' children were arriving one after another.

Yin Lan looked at the hoe, then at the dawdling Erwa.

"Mother~ Is the teacher going to teach reading today?" Erwa asked first.

"Of course, you have to do it every day. You're going to farm, so hurry up and change into that old coarse cloth coat. You'll be going to the fields to pull weeds in a bit."

Erwa's eyes darted around, and he asked in a pretentious manner, "Oh dear, what is farming? What is weeding? I don't know, Mom, I want to study with my older brother!"

Yin Lan was surprised and then amused. This Erwa was quite the proud fellow.

What are you pretending to be, all naive and innocent? You don't even know what farming is.

Of course, Yin Lan was too lazy to call him out. She originally thought this kid wouldn't last even half a day, but yesterday he really did work hard all day by himself. Such tenacity is actually quite rare.

Now that the child has come to his senses, Yin Lan is naturally delighted.

"Grab a stool and go outside."

Erwa thought his mother would make things difficult for him, after all, he hadn't done anything wrong yesterday but still got a spanking, but nothing happened today?

He happily went to get the stool. As for Erwa's sandboard, his father had already made two of them yesterday.

Yin Lan actually asked Chen Yourun to make two more in private.

He didn't know why, but since his wife said it was just something he could do, he did it anyway.

Erwa happily took the stool and sandboard and went outside.

It's so nice to be with everyone without having to pull weeds, Erwa's lips curled up in a big smile.

The kids outside have started their classes.

The men also got to work with great enthusiasm.

Yin Lan herself also had many things to do. The pigskin had been dried almost completely, and now the fur was clean and smooth, so it was considered to be in the initial stage. Next, she needed to cut the whole piece of pigskin into clothes.

Yin Lan then hid in the inner room. She really didn't know what to do, so she found a book in the system to learn about cutting techniques.

Then I plan to make two small leather jackets first, and then make one for myself.

Having learned enough, Yin Lan started to operate the system. She didn't have time to make needles anymore, so she took the needles and thread directly from the system. However, she chose things that looked like they were from this era, so that even if someone saw them, she could fool them.

Before, she could blame it on her cheap husband, but now... it's like she was taken back from her parents' home, and anyway, no one will actually investigate.

Moreover, she had already planned to take advantage of the situation every now and then. Anything extra in the house would be taken from her parents' family, and no one would dare to say anything about it.

The thread used was very thick hemp thread, and the needle was also quite thick. After Yin Lan cut it out, she carefully sewed it according to the diagram.

Um....

The stitches were a bit crooked, and the workmanship couldn't compare to the mechanical products she made in her previous life, but it was genuine pigskin and looked quite good.

The coat was quite simple; Yin Lan finished it in an hour.

She didn't call Erwa in to try directly, since there were so many children outside.

These days, Yin Lan has been eating too well and has taken so much pork, which has already attracted a lot of attention. So now she needs to keep a low profile. Moreover, if people find out that pigskin is used to make clothes, it won't be so easy for her to take more pigskin in the future.

After finishing one task, Yin Lan would rest for a while.

It was great in ancient times. Although people had to work, there were no KPIs, no one to supervise them, no deadlines, and everything was made from readily available materials with no cost. If they got tired, they could rest for a while, and if they didn't want to work, they could just stop.

Stepping outside, I was greeted by beautiful mountain scenery shrouded in mist, fresh air, and sweet spring water, which made me feel refreshed and invigorated.

Outside, thanks to the help of the "stone roller," the construction period has been much faster, and all the sifting has now been completed.

Next, we'll practice.

Mix clay and water together to form a slurry, then repeatedly tread, pound, and slam it to make the soil particles more compact, which will improve the strength and durability of the clay bricks.

This is also a physically demanding job.

Even in the dead of winter, you'll sweat if you work for a while.

The men over there took off their coats.

Chen Yourun worked for his own family, so he put in the most effort. He would tell others to take a break, but he himself seemed to have inexhaustible strength. His endurance and stamina were astonishing. He didn't rest at all and didn't look tired at all.

But the sweat covering his head still showed that he had done the most.

He probably didn't want his clothes to smell of sweat; he knew firsthand how clean his wife was.

So not only did I take off my coat, but I also took off an old sweater underneath, leaving me with only a single layer of clothing underneath.

Yin Lan first noticed his sweater, and although his coat was old, it had no patches and looked fairly clean.

But the sweater hidden inside is different.

There were many loose knots in the thread, and it looked older. Countless loose threads were undone and mixed together, but for this era, it wasn't considered too worn out.

But it's still broken.

If the wife in the family were more virtuous, she would have re-knitted the garment long ago. But the original owner of this body was definitely not that kind of person.

Moreover, Chen Yourun had brought back so much silver that he could have easily bought a new piece of clothing, yet he was still wearing tattered clothes, which shows that he was actually quite frugal.

Such a person, watching her eat lavish meals of fish, meat, rice, and oil every day, doesn't utter a single word, and shows absolutely no displeasure.

Hmm... Yin Lan's feelings were somewhat complicated.

Then, her gaze fell on him.

As if her eyes had been suddenly burned, Yin Lan quickly looked away, her heart pounding rapidly as she felt the heat on her cheeks.

Yin Lan couldn't help but look over again.

Tsk tsk tsk...

Because Chen Yourun returned in winter, Yin Lan only knew that he was very tall, had thick arms, and must be very strong. But seeing his muscles for the first time still made her blush and her heart race.

Yin Lan felt her breath getting warmer.
