If the villagers found out that my family and Sister Xiuhua's family were feeding their dogs with grain, they would be in for a long time to make trouble.
"I've been starving all day."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua thought there might be some leftovers at home from last night, so she went back to give them to Xiaobai.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, bring your little white dog next time you come."
Firstly, it wouldn't go hungry, and secondly, the three siblings rarely got together to play.
Wei Yuyan guessed that they probably still remembered each other.
"Okay, sure."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua nodded. The little white dog must be lonely at home, so it's good for it to come here.
After they finished eating, Brother Zhang and his wife went home. Wei Yuyan counted the money, and it was just right.
I checked the mushrooms at home; we have enough for this month, but not enough for next month.
It's unlikely to rain in this weather, looks like I'll have to buy mushrooms next month.
Wei Yuyan didn't sleep; she cleaned the whole house and did some laundry.
With Xiao Lei and Xiao Qian both out of the house, Wei Yuyan took advantage of the free time to go to Gao the carpenter's house.
We agreed to provide a food bowl for the puppy, so don't forget, it won't cost much.
Having just reached the middle of the village, Wei Yuyan encountered her nemesis, Liu Cuifang, and felt utterly mortified.
She pretended not to see her, but Liu Cuifang had no intention of letting her go.
"Wei Yuyan~ Don't you have anything to explain to me?"
Liu Cuifang looked at her coldly.
"You don't deserve it."
Wei Yuyan wanted to leave after she finished speaking, but Liu Cuifang stopped her.
"Hey, what's the rush? What's wrong, feeling guilty? I was too impulsive that day."
Since you've taken a liking to Young Master Zhang, I'll give him to you. I already have someone better than him.
"I'll marry into the town and become a lady, and you can stay here and do farm work."
Liu Cuifang's inexplicably confident speech was smug in front of Wei Yuyan, as if she wanted everyone to know that she had climbed up a social ladder.
"That's inexplicable."
Wei Yuyan ignored her; talking to her was simply a waste of breath.
"Hey~".
Liu Cuifang couldn't understand why Wei Yuyan always refused to listen to her; whenever she tried to talk to her, Wei Yuyan would walk away.
Liu Cuifang stomped her foot angrily as she watched Wei Yuyan's retreating figure, still not having had enough of showing off. She decided to go find Xiaocao instead.
"Carpenter Gao, are you busy?"
Wei Yuyan arrived at Gao the carpenter's house, but Gao the carpenter was not in the yard.
"Hey, Wu Chen's wife is here. What do we need to do this time?"
Carpenter Gao held a bowl of oil in his hand; he had some furniture that needed oiling.
"I just wanted to make a few wooden plates."
Wei Yuyan regretted not drawing it; describing it might not be enough to capture its essence.
"Tell me what kind you want, and how big."
Takagi put down the oil and listened attentively to Wei Yuyan's description.
"I want a one-piece plate, with the left side being the size of a vegetable plate and a little deeper, and the right side being the size and depth of a rice bowl."
Wei Yuyan thought it would be much more convenient to fill up her water bottle while eating.
"Okay, I think I understand. No problem, it can be done by tomorrow afternoon. How many do you want?"
Carpenter Gao thought it was quite simple and he could finish it in one day tomorrow.
"Three, how much do you want?"
Wei Yuyan took out her money bag to pay.
"Just give me twenty-five coins, we're all neighbors."
Carpenter Gao originally wanted thirty coins, but considering that she was a woman and it wasn't easy for her, he decided not to charge such a high price and only asked for twenty-five coins, which was a fair price.
"Thank you~".
Wei Yuyan readily took out twenty-five coins and handed them over.
"Oh, right, you don't need to send it over tomorrow, Wu Lei will come and pick it up."
This is such a small thing, we don't need anyone to give it to us. I'm afraid the whole village will know that the Wu family spent twenty-five coins to make a dog bowl.
"good"
Carpenter Gao counted the money, put it back in his room, and prepared to get to work.
Wei Yuyan went for a walk by the river. She had been craving fish lately, so she thought she might as well go up the mountain tomorrow and catch some small fish if she couldn't catch any big ones.
"Sister-in-law"
"Sister-in-law".
When Wei Yuyan heard "sister-in-law" twice, she turned around and saw Xiao Pang and Xiao Lei.
Little Fatty was carrying a schoolbag, and it looked like he had just finished school. Little Lei went to greet him.
"Little Fatty, school's over. Do you want to practice your writing and read books when you get home? Will Xiao Lei's invitation to play interfere with your reading?"
Wei Yuyan only realized she had overlooked this issue when she saw Xiao Pang.
Will Xiaopang's parents allow Xiaolei to play with him? Will they think that Xiaolei is affecting Xiaopang's studies?
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. The teacher only assigns homework on our days off. He doesn't do it on other days."
Little Fatty responded with a smile.
"That's good. In a little over two months, Xiao Lei will go to school with you, okay?"
Wei Yuyan wished she could send Xiao Lei there right now, but Xiao Lei wouldn't be able to keep up.
"Yay! I've been looking forward to this for so long, sister-in-law, it can finally happen."
Little Fatty had heard Little Lei say this before and thought Little Lei was just trying to comfort himself.
Hearing Wei Yuyan say this today, he finally understood that Xiao Lei wasn't just daydreaming.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know, he always thought I was just kidding him. He didn't believe I could go to school."
Xiao Lei happily showed off his little tiger teeth.
"Is Little Fatty taking a break tomorrow?"
Wei Yuyan thought that the two of them had a good relationship and could visit each other more often, so she asked Xiao Pang to go fishing with them tomorrow.
"Okay, I'll rest tomorrow."
Little Fatty nodded.
"I want to go fishing in the mountains tomorrow. Do you two want to come with me? We can eat at my house after we catch some fish. You can have dinner at my house then."
Wei Yuyan thought that no matter if the fish were small or big, she would definitely turn them into delicious dishes.
"Really, sister-in-law? I love your cooking! I'll definitely come tomorrow. What time?"
Little Fatty was already hungry thinking about the delicious food he would have tomorrow.
"Okay, I'll go after breakfast."
Wei Yuyan thought that since the weather was so hot, she should go early and come back early, as she would definitely get much darker if she went in the afternoon.
"I'm going home to do my homework now, Xiao Lei, see you tomorrow, sister-in-law."
Little Fatty just wanted to finish his homework quickly today so he could go play tomorrow, to play in the mountains.
"Hey~".
Xiao Lei was ashamed; Xiao Pang really didn't care about anything else once he heard there was something delicious to eat.
"Xiao Lei, I just went to Gao the carpenter's house and asked him to make food bowls for the puppies. Go pick them up tomorrow afternoon around this time."
Wei Yuyan was afraid she would forget about it herself, so she told Xiao Lei first, since Xiao Lei's memory was much better than hers.
"Let's go to Sister Xiuhua's house and get some kimchi to take back. We'll cook it with the fish tomorrow; it'll be especially delicious."
Wei Yuyan actually wanted to eat sauerkraut fish, but the sauerkraut would ferment for several days.
Wei Yuyan didn't want to wait any longer, so she decided to go and get some pickled radishes and pickled chili peppers to take home and cook with fish tomorrow.
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Xiao Lei obediently followed behind Wei Yuyan.
