"Time to eat."
Wu Lei simply reheated the food and it was ready to eat. The family of three finished a simple yet delicious dinner before dark.
"Sister-in-law, the hot water is here, you can wash your face."
Wu Qian brought a basin of water and placed it on the dressing table.
"Okay, wet that towel and hand it to your sister-in-law."
Wei Yuyan pointed to the towel draped over the dressing table.
Wu Qian obediently wet and wrung out the towel and handed it to Wei Yuyan.
Wei Yuyan took it and wiped her face and hands, then wiped her feet, but dared not wipe her injured feet.
"Okay, Qianqian, just rub the towel and hang it up, that's all."
Wei Yuyan quickly washed up and went to bed. Although she hadn't done much that day, her mouth felt a little tired because she had talked a lot.
"Sister-in-law, this is a spittoon. It will be more convenient if you need to get up at night. I will empty it for you tomorrow morning."
Wu Qian had just gone out when her brother instructed her to come back and deliver a spittoon.
"Oh, okay, that's true, thank you Qianqian."
Wei Yuyan knew she was a patient and should behave herself; she would accept the spittoon if she was to be used.
"Sister-in-law, what would you like to eat for breakfast tomorrow?"
Wu Qian remembered the question her brother had asked her to ask earlier.
"I want to eat roasted sweet potato~".
Wei Yuyan thought about it and decided she still wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
"Okay~".
Wu Qian closed the door and left only after receiving an answer.
The next morning, Wei Yuyan woke up and stayed in bed, mainly because there was nothing to do after getting up. She stayed in bed for about fifteen minutes before she couldn't fall back asleep and finally got up.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down, I'll get you some water to wash your face."
Wu Qian was picking out vegetable leaves to feed the rabbits when she saw Wei Yuyan come out, so she quickly washed her hands and went to fetch water.
"Thank you for your hard work, Qianqian."
After washing up, Wei Yuyan combed her hair and also combed Qianqian's hair.
I think Qianqian just needs a hair tie, so I'll definitely buy her some pretty hair accessories and hair ties next time I go to the market.
"Sister-in-law, my brother roasted some sweet potatoes this morning. I ate one, and it was delicious."
After Wu Qian finished speaking, she went to the kitchen and brought over the two roasted sweet potatoes that she had left for Wei Yuyan.
Its exterior is black and yellow, but when you peel it open, you'll find orange-yellow sweet potato flesh inside, emitting an enticing sweet aroma.
"Where did Wu Lei go? His roasted sweet potatoes were really delicious."
Wei Yuyan ate both of them and felt a little full.
"Uh... he went out to play with Little Fatty. Sister-in-law, tell me what you need."
Wu Qian was embarrassed to say that Wu Lei had accidentally burned two of them, and Wu Lei ate them himself, as it would have been a waste to throw them away.
"Oh, Little Fatty is off again today. He's fine. Go feed the animals."
Wei Yuyan felt a little bored, but unfortunately there was no fabric or anything at home.
Otherwise, you can use this time to make clothes, underwear, shoes, socks, etc. to pass the time.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here! Guess what I brought you."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua came over, but put her hands behind her back and asked Wei Yuyan to guess.
"I guess it'll taste good."
Wei Yuyan made a guess on the spot.
"Oh dear, all you know is how to eat, ta-da~."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law pulled a gray rabbit out from behind her back in a bad mood.
"Wow, a rabbit! Brother Zhang actually caught one?"
Wei Yuyan was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, it was dark when he got home last night, so I didn't come over."
Do you have a rabbit hutch? Shouldn't you build one?
Sister-in-law Xiuhua looked around the yard and began to think about where would be a suitable place to build the rabbit hutch.
"Yes, I do want to build one, but my foot is injured right now. I'll build one after my foot heals."
The wild rabbits are fine in one cage, but it would be a bit crowded if there were two.
“I’ll help with the setup. My husband went to town to find work today. He and I will help with the setup this afternoon.”
Xiuhua's sister-in-law stuffed the wild rabbit into the cage.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, can you tell if the rabbit is male or female?"
Wei Yuyan then realized that a male and a female are needed for rabbits to have offspring.
"Oh, let me see, oh dear, these are two male rabbits~~~."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law was both amused and exasperated.
"Hahaha~~, well, looks like I still have to catch rabbits."
Wei Yuyan was really unlucky; it was the two brothers who came.
"It's alright, I'll have your brother Zhang go catch some more this afternoon. I refuse to believe we can't catch a female rabbit."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law thought she would definitely be able to catch the female rabbit.
“Brother Zhang has been busy these past few days, either hunting in the mountains or chopping wood.”
Wei Yuyan thought to herself that Brother Zhang was really diligent.
"Yeah, he's used to it. He's a restless person. Even when it's raining, he'll stay home and fix things up, like broken stool legs, chairs, or the roof."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua also sat down to rest for a while.
"I have to be free now, sister-in-law. If Brother Zhang goes to town these days, could you ask him to bring me some fabric?"
I was bored at home, so I decided to make some clothes, shoes, socks, and other things for the kids.
Wei Yuyan thought that since it was springtime, she wouldn't make a spring coat, but a long-sleeved one instead, so she could probably wear long sleeves in about a month.
"Okay, let's see if he can find a helper today. If he can't, we'll have to buy more tomorrow. I'll go to town with him to buy some tomorrow."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua readily agreed.
"Tell me, how long will it take before I can walk again?"
Wei Yuyan looked at her swollen ankle.
"It should take about half a month, or about seven or eight days, for the swelling to go down, but it will still hurt when you walk, and it will get worse the more you walk."
It's best not to walk at all. You'll be able to walk without pain in about two weeks, but you still can't walk too far or do heavy work. You'll get better slowly.
Sister-in-law Xiuhua remembered that her mother had twisted her ankle and it had taken her about this long to recover.
"Okay, oh dear, it's going to take this long. I should have known better than to linger on the mountain so late."
Looking back, Wei Yuyan realized that she should have gone home earlier instead of rushing around like this and twisting her ankle. It was a bad thing.
However, it would be a shame not to harvest such good saffron.
"It's alright, sister-in-law, taking a month off is a good thing, there's no work to be done in the fields right now."
There's not much going on at home, so Wu Lei can cook and Xiao Qian can feed the chickens.
Xiuhua comforted Wei Yuyan.
"Yeah, I've gained weight these past few days."
Wei Yuyan looked at the excess fat on her waist.
"With your small frame, where are you fat? Let me tell you, men like chubby girls. You need to gain at least 20 pounds to look good."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law has a standard slightly plump figure, with a bust and a butt.
"Yes, my sister-in-law's figure is just right."
Wei Yuyan joked.
"This is nothing, you'll gain weight during pregnancy."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua remembers that her sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law would gain at least twenty pounds when they got pregnant.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, I have to remind you that you can't eat too much when you're pregnant."
I had a sister-in-law on my mother's side who got pregnant and kept eating nourishing foods, gaining tens of pounds. She had a difficult childbirth and suffered a lot.
