Although Zhao Qinghuai said there were no missions recently and it was still just training, she was still a little worried. At least Zhao Qinghuai's words reassured her.
Not long after Zhao Qinghuai left, Li Yue'e arrived.
Seeing Lin Ying return, Li Yue'e was very happy: "Sister, you're finally back! You don't know, while you were away, a lot of people were eyeing your house. Minister Zhang's wife said that several families came to ask if you had moved out."
While helping Er Ya change her clothes, Lin Ying said, "Didn't I say before I left that my husband, Lao Zhao, had some things to take care of back home?"
Li Yue'e waved her hand: "Isn't it because he's jealous of your house? Let's not talk about that. Tell me what happened."
Lin Ying saw Li Yue'e nod to Er Ya, knowing what she was asking, and explained, "My husband's children... In April, something happened in their family, and both parents passed away. I felt sorry for the two children, so I brought them back."
Li Yue'e said irritably, "Sister, you're just too kind. Raising a child isn't like raising a cat or dog, especially one that isn't your own. What if you raise it up and still can't get used to it? Wouldn't you be at a loss? Although you're capable and can get meat at home, this isn't something that can be done in a day or two. What if you have two more children yourself? How heavy will the burden on the family be then?"
Lin Ying smiled and said, "Old Zhao's older brother saved his life when he was a child, and he can't forget to repay that kindness. As for raising the child, even if the child is left in his hometown, Old Zhao has never thought of abandoning him. If he spends a lot of money and the child is still miserable, it's better to just bring him over and have him by his side. He'll feel at ease knowing that the money is being spent effectively."
Li Yue'e understood. From Lin Ying's words, neither of them had ever considered abandoning the two children, whether they were brought to their side or left in their hometown.
It's possible that the elderly in the family aren't easy to get along with. With the child in the hometown, it's uncertain who will ultimately spend the money Zhao Qinghuai sends each month.
"I admire you two. It's almost winter again, and you haven't prepared anything yet. Now you have a child who can't be separated from you. What are you going to do? How about this, if it really comes down to it, you can leave the two children at my house and let Xiaoqiang and the others look after them for you."
After eating so many good things from you, I should at least do some work, right?
Lin Ying refused, saying, "No way, Xiao Qiang is your right-hand man now. With him around, you can collect things up the mountain much faster. Everyone has to make a living. If you really want to help, just have Xiao Shuai take care of Shuanzi. Tell Xiao Shuai that I'll treat him to meat when I get back from the mountain."
Li Yue'e said, "What do you mean by inviting? Okay, I'll go talk to Xiao Shuai and ask him to bring Shuanzi along to play."
With winter approaching, Lin Ying is naturally busier than ever. She can carry Er Ya on her back, but she really can't keep an eye on Shuanzi.
So, Lin Ying put a few pieces of candy in Shuanzi's pocket, and when Xiaoshuai arrived, Lin Ying also gave Xiaoshuai a few pieces: "Xiaoshuai, Auntie is entrusting Shuanzi to you."
Xiao Shuai patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, with me here, I definitely won't let Shuanzi suffer any injustice."
Lin Ying couldn't help but laugh: "Okay."
Then she turned to Shuanzi and said, "Shuanzi, your aunt is going up the mountain to collect food, otherwise we won't have anything to eat in the winter. Why don't you be a good boy and play with Xiaoshuai at his house?"
Shuanzi nodded. He understood that even when he was at home, his mother had to go out to work.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will be a good girl."
After Shuanzi left, Lin Ying didn't go out immediately. Instead, she went back to her carpentry work. She modified the basket she had used on the road, adding a divider in the middle.
The space under the partition can be used to store children's items, while the space on top is perfect for children to sit on.
However, to prevent Er Ya's urine from seeping down there, Lin Ying attached a layer of kraft paper and a layer of soft fur to the seat.
This way, the inside is soft and your bottom won't get cold.
After Lin Ying helped Er Ya urinate, she put her inside the basket, gave her a steamed egg, and hung the basket on the wall. Er Ya sat inside the basket. Even if she moved around, she wouldn't fall off.
Lin Ying started getting busy without having to hold the baby.
Next, she plans to modify a trolley for use in the mountains.
Because she had to take care of her child, Lin Ying spent much less time going up the mountain. She was also busy collecting things and cutting timber needed for the whole winter. Lin Ying was quite busy.
Even though Er Ya is still immature, Lin Ying has no intention of using her spatial ability in front of her.
The best approach is to ensure that every trip up the mountain serves a purpose.
Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting; having a trolley to collect more items and bring them back is also a good idea.
