As the eldest sister-in-law, she doesn't need to worry about giving gifts or looking after her sisters-in-law.
Chi Yu didn't linger on her meal. She finished eating in a few bites, washed the bowl, and went back to her room with her sister.
In the main room, Zhuangzhuang was still sleeping soundly. After making sure the door was latched, she picked up her son and went into the room with her sister.
As soon as she entered, she saw her third brother eating.
Chi Sanbao was drenched in sweat. Afraid of getting the tables, chairs, and sofas dirty, he sat on the floor with a half-eaten bun in his hand.
Of course, there was a stool in front of him with two bowls on it.
One bowl contained two steamed buns, while the other bowl contained rice porridge.
Upon seeing the fish in the pond, he quickly swallowed the bun in his mouth and said, "Little fish, there are still two acres of land left."
My second brother said that we'll take turns tonight to harvest the land and then plow it out.
Go out and bring in the potatoes and sweet potatoes that have sprouted a little.
We'll work through the night, doing as much as we can.
Also, once the wooden bridge is built, we'll go to the other side to clear land.
"That might take a little longer. After all, your nephews' marriages are the priority right now."
Chi Yu nodded: "Okay, I understand. Third Brother, you eat first, I'll go out and bring the food in."
After saying that, she looked at Chi Qiao: "Sister-in-law, the things are all under my bed. Please put Zhuangzhuang back on the bed and take a look."
As Chi Qiao took Zhuangzhuang from her, she saw her preparing to leave and called her back:
"Little Fish, bring the mule in too."
Chi Yu looked at her sister, puzzled: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
If the mule helps plow the field all night, A-Ye and the others might think it's sick when they see it tomorrow.
"No, we'll find an excuse, like we lent the mule out or something."
Chi Qiao paused for a moment and then said, "How about I go and help A Kang buy stones for everyone tomorrow, and then A Kang can stay here and work?"
When A-Ye and the others asked later, they said that A-Kang had something to do and had driven his mule cart down the mountain before dawn.
"He doesn't need to worry about this marriage anyway. Aqing, Aping, and Qiaoya are all taking care of things at home, so there's nothing for him to do."
"Alright!"
After saying this, Chi Yu left.
When she came back in, she appeared directly in the open space outside.
There were several baskets of sprouted potatoes around me, and half a basket of chopped sprout pieces.
As for the sweet potatoes, because they were harvested so recently, even though she tried to get them to sprout as quickly as possible, they only showed faint signs of sprouting.
At the same time, a mule appeared beside her.
Noticing the commotion, Chi Kang put down his sickle and jogged over.
Upon seeing the sweet potatoes, she said, "Auntie, after the land is plowed, plant these first."
After all, it will take several days for the vines to grow properly.
"Okay, everything's here. You guys handle it. I'm going back inside for a bit, I'll come back to help later."
There were too many potatoes, and the sprouts hadn't been cut off yet, so she had to come and help.
In addition, starting tomorrow, she will be collecting wood ash from the villagers.
In addition, the fat from wild animals must also be collected.
Thinking of wood ash, Chi Yu recalled the ashes left behind after the volcano was extinguished, and immediately left in a hurry.
At that time, after a long journey, everyone in Beishan was finally allowed to stay here, so they felt relieved and went to sleep early.
Listening to the snoring all around him, Song Chongjin glanced at his niece nestled beside his wife in the dim firelight.
The girl was only thirteen years old, but she was growing more and more beautiful.
Thinking that this was the bloodline his sister had risked her life to preserve, his gaze couldn't help but turn to the village a few hundred meters away.
