Chapter 10: The Young Daughter-in-law of the Yang Family
Yang Daya’s younger brother is named Yang Guodong, and his name reflects the Yang family’s expectations for him.
But usually at Old Yang's house, everyone is still used to calling him Xiaodong.
"Then when will your brother come back? I haven't seen him yet!"
Speaking of Yang Guodong, Lin Wanwan became a little curious. He is the only male in the Yang family and should be very favored!
"On market day, my brother will be back!"
"When the time comes, we'll meet up with grandma and grandpa at the market and bring my brother back directly."
In this day and age, even relatives would not visit each other easily unless it was a festival or an urgent matter.
After all, everyone's life is not easy. Ordinary people can only rely on work points from the fields. Whether they can have enough to eat depends entirely on the ability of their family members to earn work points.
In this era, the more you do, the more you get, and the less you do, the less you get, but there is no special treatment.
Even children who could walk knew to pick grass for pigs in exchange for work points, not to mention the older children.
"Then can I go with you to the next big gathering?"
Lin Wanwan was naturally curious about the market here, and 3628 explained to her that direct buying and selling was not allowed in this era.
Although there was no buying or selling on the wasteland planet, 3628 still explained to her the significance of trading.
As everyone knows, in this era, it is not just bartering, you can also use money to buy things.
Of course, this era was quite special. Not only did you need money, you also needed tickets to buy the supplies you wanted.
Moreover, there are many ways for everyone to make money, unlike her world where they can only exchange food for money.
Although she didn't remember a lot of what 3628 said because she wasn't focused, the key points were still temporarily stored in her mind, waiting to be digested slowly later.
After all, the system does not transmit information like humans do, which requires describing it sentence by sentence.
Sometimes, 3628 would directly instill a whole paragraph of content into Lin Wanwan's mind, as if it were a sudden enlightenment, and it would take only a few seconds for her to understand it.
When Cai Guifen returned with her female relatives in the evening, she found a lot of mushrooms drying in the yard.
Of course, these mushrooms are not blanched, but simply washed and placed in bamboo strips with holes to control the water.
"Oh my god, why are there so many mushrooms?"
"Third sister-in-law, did you go to the mountains again?"
Liu Huazhen looked at the mushrooms all over the yard and the wild vegetables that were almost dried and had been collected by Yang Daya.
These things are piled in different directions.
Although the wild vegetables are almost dry, they still need to be dried for a day before they can be stored.
If it is stored before being dried thoroughly, it will soon become moldy and deteriorate.
"Third sister-in-law, these mushrooms must weigh over a hundred kilograms, right?"
"You guys are incredibly lucky! You killed a wild boar this morning and found so many mushrooms this afternoon!"
"Mom, don't you think my third sister-in-law is a little too lucky?"
Wang Baomei carefully checked the mushrooms in the bamboo strips. The mushrooms, big and small, were separated and hung out to dry.
Lin Wanwan heard from Yang Daya that mushrooms that are too big are not suitable for pickling, and only small and tender ones can be selected.
The big ones are dried into mushrooms and kept as a side dish in winter.
In the past, when she had food, she would eat it immediately or hide it secretly, and she never kept it for long.
Now that I know more about how to store food, I am of course happy to learn from the Yang family’s wives.
"My third daughter-in-law, this is really lucky. Just keep this matter within your family and don't spread it around!"
Cai Guifen looked at the things drying in the yard, and then looked at Lin Wanwan who was washing clothes.
After running around the woods twice in the morning and afternoon, she felt a little itchy. Plus, there was no shortage of water in this world, so Lin Wanwan generously took a bath and changed her clothes, preparing to wash them and hang them up to dry.
She didn't have many clothes. The original owner had fled and had no luggage at all.
Apart from the clothes he was wearing, he only had one set of clothes left.
When the original owner came to Yangjia Village, his whole body was rotten.
If the smell wasn't so unbearable and the people being tortured were not unbearable to watch, how could such a beautiful woman like her walk to Yangjia Village in one piece?
The newer clothes she was wearing before were found by Cai Guifen when her daughter was at home.
"Second brother's wife, stop standing there and go find the seasonings. These tender mushrooms next to you should be pickled."
Cai Guifen was stunned for only a moment, and soon began to direct the women in the house to work.
Every day, the women of the Yang family would come home a little earlier than the men.
It’s not that the women work so fast, but that after work, the men will go to the foot of the mountain to chop some firewood and bring it back.
There is no lazy person in the Yang family.
From men to women, from old to young, each one of them is a hardworking person.
Therefore, there has never been any disagreement in the Yang family when it comes to doing housework.
Everyone works, everyone contributes, and everyone feels balanced, only then can we live together for a long time.
"Mom, do you need me to do anything?"
Lin Wanwan saw that everyone in the family was busy, even Yang Daya was sent to make a fire. She hesitated for a moment, looked at the clothes in her hands, then looked at the busy people, and asked Cai Guifen.
"It's none of your business, just wash your clothes!"
"I have a new soapberry in my room. Wait a minute, I'll get it for you."
"If you don't put some soap in your laundry, it won't get clean!"
Cai Guifen felt that Lin Wanwan performed well today, so she wanted to give her something.
The other two families could afford these daily consumables because they had their own private money, so she didn't have to worry.
Only the third brother's family had nothing when they first entered the house.
The third brother is a very honest boy, and he probably didn't even think of buying something for his wife.
What's more, there has never been a market since the third daughter-in-law came into the family, so there is nowhere to buy what she wants.
By the time they get off work in the village and go to the supply and marketing cooperative, it will probably be closed.
Although the soap was brought by her eldest daughter from her husband's family, Cai Guifen was not stingy and directly gave the soap, which was bigger than a palm, to Lin Wanwan.
When Cai Guifen went back to get the soap, 3628 had already explained the purpose of soap in her mind.
So after taking the big piece of soap, Lin Wanwan didn't hesitate and rubbed it directly on the clothes, then rubbed it quickly.
As expected, with soap, washing clothes is cleaner and faster.
"This soap is really useful. Thank you, Mom. I'll return it to you when I have more!"
Lin Wanwan really wanted to thank Cai Guifen.
If 3628 hadn't told her, she would have thought that everyone in the world was as kind as the Yang family.
However, through the gossip on 3628, Lin Wanwan also got a little understanding of Yangjia Village.
Although I don’t know much due to time limitations, I at least know that many villagers bully their family members.
Just like on a wasteland planet, although people in the same family are united on the outside, there are still intrigues inside.
