For a while afterward, Wei Yuyan became busy going to the market day.
Because Sister-in-law Xiuhua can no longer help at the steamed bun shop, even if she doesn't go to the steamed bun shop to help make steamed buns.
I also had to help sell steamed buns at the steamed bun shop on market days.
She would get up before dawn, prepare breakfast and keep it warm in the pot, and then set off to town to help sell steamed buns when it was almost dusk.
"Is Xiuhua still experiencing morning sickness?"
Wei Yuyan and Zhang Dasao asked Zhang Lifu.
"Much better, I can eat now, but my appetite is smaller and I've lost weight."
Li Fu frowned; this pregnancy was too much of a torment.
"It's okay, things should get better. Tomorrow, ask her what she wants to eat and cook it for her. She'll naturally eat more."
Sister-in-law Zhang replied.
"Yes, of course."
As Zhang Lifu spoke, he carried the steamed buns onto the carriage. Today, he would have his two brothers sell them at the market, while his wife and Wei Yuyan would sell them at the shop.
Since the shop started selling meat pies, it has become as popular as the vegetable market, with a lot of people buying them.
When things get busy, there's not even time to drink water.
After selling out, Zhang Dasao and Wei Yuyan hurried home to cook.
Wei Yuyan returned home, and with less than fifteen minutes left before school ended, she had no choice but to cook a tomato, egg, and minced meat dumpling soup.
"Sister-in-law, how come you're back so soon? My brother said you might not be back this quickly."
Qianqian came to the kitchen to help start the fire.
"My sister-in-law will be back once the steamed buns are sold out."
Wei Yuyan chopped the greens and put them in; it was almost ready to serve.
“Sister-in-law, you don’t need to rush in the future. If you are late, it’s okay. I can cook at home.”
Xiao Lei knew that his sister-in-law must have rushed back as fast as she could.
“If you’re not in school, your sister-in-law will feel more at ease cooking for you.”
When you get to school, you might be worried that the time is almost up and become anxious.
My sister-in-law walked back today. If she had taken the oxcart, you would have been able to eat as soon as you got back.
As Wei Yuyan spoke, she ladled out three bowls of dumpling soup and carried them to the courtyard.
Now that winter is here, there's not much time to rest at noon. Basically, after eating, we rest for about fifteen minutes before heading to school.
"We still have a month before our annual leave starts."
Xiao Lei talked as he ate his dumpling soup.
"Yes, that's about right."
Wei Yuyan nodded, hoping that this winter wouldn't be too cold, since there was no air conditioning or thick blankets here.
Speaking of thick blankets, Wei Yuyan genuinely felt that the blankets at home were too thin, and she couldn't quite bear the weight while sleeping.
If I have time tomorrow, I'll go to town to order three thick quilts and buy some cotton to make winter clothes for the children, as last year's clothes are already too short.
In the afternoon, after waking up, Wei Yuyan first went to the carpenter Gao's house.
"Carpenter Gao, how's the furniture coming along?"
Wei Yuyan came to check if the furniture could be completed on time.
"You've come at the perfect time. Look, the wardrobe and cupboard are finished. I was just wondering where to put them. Why don't you put them in your new house?"
Carpenter Gao's house wasn't big, and the finished furniture couldn't be piled up outside to be exposed to the wind and sun; it was getting too crowded to fit everything.
“Okay, why don’t you deliver it tomorrow morning? I’ll wait for you at the new house tomorrow morning, and I’ll go over there in advance to clean it up.”
Wei Yuyan nodded. The progress was quite fast. Wei Yuyan also checked the details and they were all good. Although the time was tight, the craftsmanship was still up to par.
"good".
Carpenter Gao agreed, continuing to work quickly with his hands.
Wei Yuyan wandered around and eventually arrived at the new house. The second floor of the new house was already half completed, and it would be finished in about half a month.
"Hey girl, you're here. Was it true or false that you said you were going to pave the front yard with bricks? If it's true, I'll buy the bricks in advance."
Master Huang had heard Wei Yuyan mention it before, but he wasn't sure, so he asked again.
"Of course it's true. Just add one tael of silver, it's fine. Here you go."
Wei Yuyan nodded, confirming that she wanted to pave the front yard with bricks.
“Okay, no problem. By the way, we’ve also dug the puddle in the backyard.”
Take a look and see if it works. If not, we can process it a bit more.
Master Huang led Wei Yuyan to the backyard to look at the two pits.
"Hmm, not bad, pretty good. Hey, did you guys water these vegetables for me?"
Wei Yuyan was curious about how the vegetable had grown so big all of a sudden.
"Sister, we're sorry, we not only watered your vegetable garden, but also fertilized it."
However, we haven't been fertilizing lately. We know you'll be moving in soon, so we've stopped fertilizing.
Master Huang was a little embarrassed when he talked about it, and he scratched his head.
"It's alright. We really can't use fertilizer anymore. Once we move in, we'll be eating the vegetables here."
Wei Yuyan looked at the white radishes, red radishes, Chinese cabbages, and shepherd's purse, and they all looked really good. She wouldn't have to worry about not having enough vegetables to eat during the New Year.
"Okay, I promise to remind them."
Master Huang immediately stated that he would not do it again.
"Okay, some furniture will be moved in tomorrow. I'll clean up, you can go and get busy."
Wei Yuyan looked around the room and found it wasn't too dirty. She would go to Sister Xiuhua's house later to get a broom and sweep it up.
"good".
Master Huang nodded and ran upstairs to help.
Wei Yuyan went to the kitchen and saw that it was indeed very spacious. The storage room had been partitioned off, which was equivalent to having an extra room downstairs.
It's not small; you can fit a bed, a cabinet, and a table in it.
The bathroom and outhouse were built in the backyard. Originally, Wei Yuyan felt that it was unnecessary to build a bathroom.
However, in this design, all the rooms were on the second floor, making it inconvenient to shower and fetch water, so they simply built one.
The bathroom is next to the kitchen, with a door for easy access.
After cleaning the kitchen and storage room, Wei Yuyan returned the broom to Sister-in-law Xiuhua's house.
"Brother Lifu, you probably won't have time tomorrow or the day after, you're going to town to sell steamed buns. How about I ask Brother Licai to build the stove for me?"
Wei Yuyan had previously told Li Fu that he would build it, but now he didn't have time to build it for her.
"Yes, my brother is also a good cook, he'll make sure you get it all right."
Li Fu nodded. He was indeed extremely busy right now, taking care of his wife and running the steamed bun shop.
"Okay, I'll go talk to him."
Wei Yuyan left Xiuhua's house and went to Zhang Licai's house, where she saw Xiaoru feeding the chickens alone in the yard.
"Xiaoru, where are your parents?"
Wei Yuyan walked straight in.
"Aunt Yuyan, my father isn't home. I don't know if he went to chop firewood. My mother is in the outhouse."
Xiaoru answered with a smile.
"Oh, okay, by the way, was the white fungus soup you made last time delicious?"
Wei Yuyan thought that now that Sister-in-law Xiuhua's appetite had improved, she could cook for her three or four times a month.
"It tastes great."
Xiaoru's tone was very gentle.
"Did you finish it all by yourself or leave some for your younger brother?"
