"Sister-in-law, we're off."
The children quickly finished their breakfast and went out, not forgetting to say hello to Wei Yuyan.
"Okay, come back early for lunch."
Wei Yuyan was worried that the children would go to play in the pond halfway there.
Taking advantage of her free time today, Wei Yuyan gave the house a thorough cleaning.
That's when I discovered we had a lot of stored food at home; dried green beans and dried eggplant peels weighed a total of seventy or eighty pounds.
There were also several dried fish and sausages that had been dried before, which Wei Yuyan is now reluctant to eat.
She plans to wait until the weather gets cold so she won't want to go out to buy groceries, and then she'll eat the food stored at home.
Find all the dirty clothes in the house and wash them clean, and wipe everything clean as well.
After wiping away the sweat, Wei Yuyan decided to take another shower.
Then they started making new clothes, using the new fabric to make autumn outfits for the children.
You might wear summer clothes for this month, but then you won't be able to wear them anymore, because it will be cooler in the mornings and evenings next month.
Wei Yuyan wanted to make herself a set of autumn clothes, but she couldn't bear to part with them if the family was short of money.
The family now has quite a bit of money, so Wei Yuyan doesn't want to be too frugal anymore.
At noon, Wei Yuyan stir-fried water spinach stems with pork cracklings, water spinach leaves, and dry-fried green beans.
I don’t know what time the children get out of school, but Wei Yuyan has already served the food and put it on the table to cool.
"Sister-in-law, we're back."
Xiao Lei and Qian Qian returned quickly, their foreheads still covered in sweat.
"Have a drink of water and rest before eating. How long is your lunch break?"
Wei Yuyan also picked up her bowl and began to eat.
"You must be at school by the end of the afternoon."
Xiao Lei replied.
"Okay, then you can eat and take a nap before going over. I'll keep track of the time for you."
Wei Yuyan wasn't planning to sleep; she wasn't sleepy today.
"good".
Xiao Lei ate his meal in big mouthfuls; he was starving after studying at school for so long today.
"Qianqian, are there any girls with you?"
Wei Yuyan was still quite worried about this issue, after all, Master Wei had said that he would not agree if there was only one female student.
"There's one who's even younger than me. Her name is Jiaojiao, and we've become best friends."
It's a pity she's not from our village; she brings her own lunch to school every day.
Qianqian was in a good mood.
"That's great. If you get along well in the future, you can bring her back for lunch and a rest."
Wei Yuyan thought that since the other person brought their own food, she didn't need to pay for it. It didn't matter if the child ate some vegetables; the main thing was that the child had company.
"good".
Qianqian nodded; she has become much more sensible now.
The next day, Wei Yuyan went out with the children; she was going to town.
Today is market day, and she's going to help out to see how business is going at the town market lately.
Wei Yuyan walked to the town and saw that a lot of people had already gathered in front of the steamed bun shop, so business must be good.
Wei Yuyan quickly squeezed in and began to assist Sister-in-law Xiuhua and the others.
"Oh, sister-in-law, business is exceptionally good today. We must add meat pies next time we go to the market."
After finishing her work, Sister-in-law Xiuhua finally sat down to have a drink of water.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, I also noticed that the mushroom buns are selling particularly fast today."
Looks like we can add more mushroom and meat buns next time we go to the market.
Wei Yuyan was quite happy; the steamed buns and meat pies sold out faster than before, and she finished work earlier.
"Hmm, then next time we go to the market, should we add thirty more to each?"
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua asked."
"Yeah, that's great. You guys are here every day, so you probably know more about the market than I do now."
Wei Yuyan smiled as she looked at them. They weren't stupid; they just hadn't been guided to think about these issues.
With the help of these past few months of practice, Sister-in-law Xiuhua and Brother Lifu have made a qualitative leap.
They are no longer the same people who would move or tug at the slightest provocation.
“No, you know more than us. Are you going back now? If you’re in a hurry to go back, let Lifu take you back first. I’ll go back with my older brother later.”
The steamed bun shop is almost sold out, and the vegetable market should be sold out too.
"Okay, then Lifu and I will go back first, in case the children come back late and there's no food."
Wei Yuyan picked up the hat and put it on her head. It was already August, and it was still so hot.
Back home, Wei Yuyan put the rice in the pot, then stir-fried some tomatoes and eggs, and also stir-fried some loofah.
The children came back as soon as the food was cooked.
"Sister-in-law, you're back so soon."
Xiao Lei was worried that his sister-in-law hadn't returned, so he didn't dare stop on the way back, thinking he would cook when he got back.
"Yes, come back early so I can cook for you. How was your day?"
Have you adapted yet? Have you learned all the characters that Master Wei taught you?
Wei Yuyan was too hot to eat, so she just picked up a bowl of porridge and started drinking it.
"I've learned it; my brother learns faster than me."
Qianqian was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, Qianqian. Your brother is older than you, so of course he learns faster than you. Others who are younger than you, do they learn slower than you?"
Wei Yuyan comforted her, saying that even though they were in the same class, people of different ages would definitely have different abilities.
"Yes, Jiaojiao learns slower than me."
Qianqian nodded happily.
"It doesn't matter if you learn slowly or quickly. As long as you study hard, you will learn it."
"My sister-in-law also bought you candied hawthorns today, you can eat them this afternoon."
When Wei Yuyan returned and was almost at the town gate, she happened to see a vendor selling candied hawthorns, so she bought two.
"Yay!"
When Qianqian heard that there were candied hawthorns, she ate her food excitedly, thinking that she would take the candied hawthorns to school in the afternoon and everyone would be envious.
In the afternoon, Wei Yuyan stayed at home making new clothes. When she got tired, she took a nap, enjoying herself immensely.
That afternoon, Wei Yuyan returned from picking grapes at Sister Xiuhua's house and felt that the weather was unusually hot and humid.
"Is it going to rain heavily?"
Wei Yuyan looked worriedly at the thatched roof of her house. She had said that she would ask her two older brothers to help repair the roof after the harvest, but she had forgotten about it.
If there's a heavy downpour, it'll probably leak again, right?
Wei Yuyan thought for a moment and decided to ask her two older brothers to come and renovate the thatched roof tomorrow, as it was too late today.
That night, Wei Yuyan was still reading when she heard a torrential downpour outside.
Wei Yuyan stood up to check the leak. In just a short while, there was already a leak in her room.
Wei Yuyan looked at the grain in the corner with some worry, so she could only move the grain to the stool.
Then they covered it with extra straw mats and thatch, since it was raining and it wouldn't be convenient to move it out.
After tidying up my own room, I went to check out the other rooms.
It was discovered that Qianqian's room was also leaking. Wei Yuyan used a basin to catch the water. Xiaolei's room was okay, and the kitchen was fine as well.
After covering all the grain, Wei Yuyan finally felt relieved and lay down to go to sleep.
However, Wei Yuyan, lying in bed, felt no sleepiness at all; instead, she had a bad feeling.
