Upon arriving in the kitchen, the dishes that hadn't been washed before had already been washed, and the kitchen was spotless.
This means the two puppies have been eating food from Brother Licai's house these past two days. I'm really sorry.
Wei Yuyan thought it was too late to do it today, but she would definitely invite everyone over for dinner tomorrow night.
They might not make it in time at noon because they sell steamed buns in the morning and sometimes come back late.
"Sister-in-law, ~".
Xiuhua's sister-in-law's voice could be heard from afar.
“Here I am, Sister-in-law Xiuhua. I haven’t seen you for several days. I’ve missed you so much.”
Wei Yuyan joked.
"Really? You've been staying with your sister these past few days? I heard you were coming back today, and I figured it was about time, so I came to check on you."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua sat down and chatted with Wei Yuyan.
"Yes, I'll go see my sister. I didn't even visit her when she had her baby last year."
At that time, I didn't know where he lived. Now that I know, I can visit him more often.
Wei Yuyan thought that the oxcart was still too slow, and she should earn more money to buy a horse.
That would be much faster; it should take about half an hour to get there, saving half the time.
“My brother said it’s quite far and it’s not easy to go there. Anyway, you don’t have anything to do, so you can let them come over and play.”
Sister-in-law Xiuhua is a little envious of those who have sisters; she only has brothers, no sisters.
"Well, the child is still young, so he probably won't be coming anytime soon. Maybe during the Chinese New Year or next year."
Wei Yuyan wasn't in a hurry; it would be fine if the child came when he was a little older.
"Don't wait too long, what if your sister gets pregnant again?"
Xiuhua's sister-in-law has quite a vivid imagination.
"That's true, what you said makes a lot of sense. By the way, Sister-in-law Xiuhua, your family and Brother Licai's family are all coming over for dinner tomorrow night."
I want to thank you all for taking care of my home, the chickens, and the dogs.
Wei Yuyan knew without even thinking that Sister-in-law Xiuhua must have come uninvited to clean for her.
"You know what, your two puppies are really quite mischievous."
As soon as we arrive at your house and open the door, they run out.
That day, your sister-in-law Zhang and I almost couldn't keep up with them. Luckily, we caught them, otherwise the children would have been unhappy.
Sister-in-law Xiuhua watched Xiaolei and Qianqian holding the puppy, feeling a particularly warm feeling.
"Really? It seems they don't want to stay at home anymore, but I'm a little worried about putting them outside."
I'm just worried that someone might hit it, or that it might bite someone, which would be bad.
Wei Yuyan was very worried.
"They're still too young to understand the rules, so just let them carry you when you go out to play."
Once the puppy is older and more obedient, then let it out on its own.
Xiuhua's sister-in-law suggested.
"Yes, you're right. I need to go check the vegetable garden. I wonder if there are too many vegetables growing there."
Wei Yuyan was worried that if too many beans and other plants were left unpicked, they would cause the vines to collapse.
"It's okay, I've checked, it's fine, I'll head back now."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law was also getting ready to go home and cook.
"Remember, tomorrow night."
Wei Yuyan reminded her.
"knew".
The next morning, Wei Yuyan took the children to town again.
I bought a lot of snacks for the kids today, including candied hawthorns, pastries, and crispy candies.
"Give me two pig's trotters."
Wei Yuyan had said she would cook pig's trotters for her two older brothers a long time ago, and it had been almost a month since then.
Today, it has finally come true.
"Hey girl, we have pig's stomach today."
The butcher happily took out the pig's stomach to show Wei Yuyan.
"Wow, I want it."
Wei Yuyan was surprised to find herself so lucky today; she could have an extra dish for dinner.
After buying the food, Wei Yuyan started wandering around, looking for things in town she had never seen before.
"The cloth is being sold cheaply, it's being sold cheaply."
Passing by a fabric shop, I heard the proprietress shouting that she was having a cheap sale, so I couldn't resist going in to take a look.
"Boss lady, are the fabrics cheap today?"
Wei Yuyan wondered, did they also have clearance sales in ancient times?
"No, it's just that a few pieces of cloth accidentally got dirty with water and have some stains that can't be washed off."
I'm selling it cheap. Here it is, young lady, see how much you need.
The proprietress explained, then pointed to six bolts of cloth placed at the entrance.
When I went over to take a look, it was true that all six pieces of fabric were stained to varying degrees.
"How much does this fabric cost per foot?"
Wei Yuyan decided to ask about the price first.
"These three horses sell for four coins per foot, and the other three sell for three coins per foot."
The proprietress separated the fabric in two, one half heavily soiled and the other moderately soiled.
"Ten feet of this blue color, and twenty feet of this lotus root pink color."
Wei Yuyan touched the stain and thought it could be washed off, which is why she bought so many.
After getting home and washing up, I made autumn clothes for both myself and my child.
"It costs one hundred and twenty coins in total."
The proprietress was delighted that Wei Yuyan had bought so much; she was finally open for business.
"Could you send some cables? We don't have that many cables at home."
Wei Yuyan reminded her.
"Okay, sure."
The proprietress generously took a few threads and fabrics and packed them together.
Wei Yuyan paid the money and took the children home. It was almost August, but it was still so hot.
I was covered in sweat when I got home.
"Qianqian, have you thought it through? Are you going to school or not?"
Wei Yuyan respected Qianqian's own idea. She had inquired before and was told that it was okay for someone her age to spend a year in school, but not if they were older.
"Wow, my brother isn't home, I'm feeling pretty bored too."
Qianqian thought about it and decided to go anyway. Her sister-in-law said that even if she didn't go to school, she would still have to practice calligraphy at home, so it was better to go to school.
"Alright, it's settled then. I'll take you to the school in a few days to pay your tuition to the teacher."
Wei Yuyan opened the fabric she had bought today, thought for a moment, and then smeared some lard on it.
Then soak it in wood ash water, and wash it carefully again in the afternoon.
"Sister-in-law, this hen has laid an egg."
Xiao Lei exclaimed in surprise.
"Really? Then I'll cook it for you guys for lunch today."
Wei Yuyan wasn't surprised, because it was laid by her sister's old hen, not by her own new chicken.
Afternoon~.
Wei Yuyan washed the fabric several times, and there were still a few traces, but not many.
You can't tell unless you look closely. Wei Yuyan was quite satisfied with it; as long as it was clean, that was fine.
Wei Yuyan bought extra fabric on purpose; besides making three sets of clothes, she could also make a handbag for her two children.
You can put books or food inside.
After hanging the fabric up to dry, Wei Yuyan began preparing lunch, as there would be so many people in the evening.
Wei Yuyan prepared to stir-fry two pig trotters, one pig trotter, a few eggs, and two vegetable dishes, which would be enough for her.
"Sister-in-law, you bought fabric again?"
Wei Yuyan was just about to go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables when Sister-in-law Xiuhua arrived.
