Chapter 27 The Troubles Begin After Marriage
Ordinary people like Lin Yiyi would have a hard time making enough food to eat after traveling through time.
There are also black market transactions everywhere. She went to the town twice. To put it bluntly, there is only one street that runs through the entire Zhaojia Town, but she didn't see any people wandering around in the alleys soliciting customers and asking if you want to buy anything. They are all scammers.
It is wrong to engage in speculation and undermine capitalism.
High risk, high return, high confidentiality. Unless a person is forced into a desperate situation with no other options, or a person who wants to feed the whole family, it is impossible for a normal person to do this.
Just like the bad things written into laws in modern times, who in normal circumstances would dare to break the law?
Who is tired of living and wants to suffer as a guard?
Once caught, they will be hung with a sign around their necks and made to squat on the street as a warning to others.
If the case continues, he will be sentenced to several more years in prison, or even executed by firing squad in serious cases.
When she read novels before, she thought the heroine and supporting characters were courageous, and they easily achieved a well-off life, managed both money and studies, and got married and raised three children, which made her blood boil.
Now it's her turn. Sorry, I have to say no three times in a row: I dare not, I can't, and I won't go.
As the saying goes, if a child is quiet, he is definitely up to something.
After half a day, Tiedan was unusually quiet. Not only did this little guy not like to talk to people, but he also spoke only a few words at a time.
But he is definitely not someone who can keep quiet. He is either picking or touching everywhere and dares to do anything bold. After a while, his little hands will definitely be covered in black.
Lin Yiyi took the notebook in front of him. Except for a few crooked numbers on the first page, the notebook was filled with various black circles.
I guess he just started writing and he didn't control his hand strength well, so there are holes in some places on the notebook. I also saw his little hands were covered with black pencil marks, and the corners of his mouth were rubbed with them. Did he eat the pencil tips or something?
I picked up a broken pencil from under the table. Both ends were covered with teeth marks from his chewing. He really ate it.
“Tiedan, are you hungry? You can’t eat pencils, they’re poisonous.” Lin Yiyi lifted the jacket by the back of his neck and put him on the ground. She was afraid that something might happen to him if he ate it, but she also thought that he probably wouldn’t understand whether it was poisonous or not, so she changed her words.
He showed the pencil to Tiedan and threatened him, "Eating this is like eating shit from the toilet. Don't chew this anymore. Do you understand?"
Tiedan didn’t know what was poisonous, but he knew what shit was, so he nodded quickly. He didn’t want to be a shit-eating baby. Tiedan thought this new sister smelled good and even gave him candy, so he reached out for her to hug him.
When Lin Yiyi saw Tiedan was about to pounce on her, she was afraid that he would stain her clothes, so she immediately raised her hand to press on Tiedan's forehead to prevent him from getting close.
"Don't come over here. You're all dirty and will stain your sister's clothes. You can only hug me after you're clean."
Tiedan looked down at his hands, was stunned for a moment, sniffed, and said in a baby voice: "Oh."
Lin Yiyi carried him to the kitchen, boiled some hot water for him to wash his hands and face, then carried him back to the house and gave him a piece of peach cake. Tiedan's eyes lit up and he was very happy. He took it with both hands and began to chew it carefully.
Seeing his little look, Lin Yiyi touched his face and took the opportunity to teach him, "Only clean children can have delicious food. You must be a good and obedient child in the future."
While eating the delicious peach cakes, although Tiedan was still young, he was a little shy and became more well-behaved and sensible when Lin Yiyi touched him so gently.
Tiedan leaned in Lin Yiyi's arms and sniffed the pleasant scent on her body. He felt very happy. He liked this sister holding him and talking to him like this.
He knew that this sister was his mother. His grandmother had taught him that if he was more well-behaved in the future, his sister would definitely be willing to be his mother.
He was no longer a wild child.
Seeing Tiedan's red little face and not knowing what he was thinking, Lin Yiyi fed him two sips of boiled water and put him down. Tiedan stayed in the house for a while and then ran out. Thinking that children in the countryside are raised freely, Lin Yiyi did not restrain him, and he was probably going to play with his friends.
Zhao's mother was making kimchi in the yard. Lin Yiyi looked through the window and saw that the rest of the work didn't require touching cold water, so she went out to help.
"Mom, I'll help you with the rest of the work. What do you think needs to be done?" Lin Yiyi rolled up her sleeves, walked to Zhao's mother, and asked.
After all the spicy cabbages were rubbed with seasoning and placed in a wooden basin, the daughter-in-law came to help. Wang Caihong frowned and said unhappily, "Put these two large basins of spicy cabbages rubbed with chili powder into the jars one by one and press them tightly. The rest of the work is left to you."
After making kimchi for almost a whole day, Wang Caihong's waist was sore that she couldn't bear it anymore. After giving the instructions, she started muttering about how miserable her life was, how her daughters-in-law were lazy, and how she would have no one to look forward to when she got old.
Knowing that she was unhappy, Lin Yiyi let her grumble for a few words. It wouldn't cost her anything anyway, so she just pretended not to hear anything.
As soon as she put all the kimchi into the kimchi jar, something went wrong and her hands started to feel burning.
She touched the chili pepper directly without wearing gloves, and the taste was extremely sour. Her relatives were coming over, and she couldn't soak her hands in cold water. She had to endure it until bedtime at night, when the burning feeling finally got better.
She can’t pretend to be virtuous. She will never make spicy kimchi again next time!
Oh, no, she was just pretending to be pickled.
…
When it was time to cook dinner, the little follower Tiedan came back from somewhere, rushed into the kitchen, sat obediently on the bench to help watch the firewood, pursed his lips and looked up from time to time at Lin Yiyi who was cooking.
This little guy is very accurate in calculating time. Ever since she first brought him into the kitchen and asked him to watch the fire, he has consciously stayed at his post and acted as a fire-burning boy every time she cooked.
Lin Yiyi thought that the baby should be raised from a young age and should not be spoiled blindly, so she ordered the little guy around.
"Tiedan, go to the backyard and pull a carrot. Sister is waiting for it."
"oh."
Tiedan knew that there were radishes in the backyard, and he usually went outside with his two brothers to cut grass for the pigs. He knew that when he grew up he would help with housework. Asking him to pick radishes was definitely a recognition that he was a big boy and he had to behave well.
Lin Yiyi took out some brown sugar from the cupboard and made a bowl of brown sugar water. The temperature was a little hot, so she blew on it before taking two sips. Then she saw Zhao's mother, Wang Caihong, standing at the kitchen door staring at her.
"Second daughter-in-law, is the meal ready? Are you just going to eat it first?"
When Wang Caihong saw the brown sugar water in her hand, she felt unhappy. It seemed that asking her to cook was like stealing food.
"I'm not scolding you, but we don't have the habit of eating alone in our family. You have to change your ways in the future if you are so greedy. And what about Tiedan? How do you take care of him? He's nowhere to be seen at this hour."
Mother Zhao scolded Lin Yiyi and snatched the bowl from her hand. She poured the brown sugar water into the enamel pot and left a few sips. "If you drink too much of this, you will feel choked. Share some with your three older grandchildren."
Lin Yiyi looked at Zhao's mother speechlessly. Drinking some brown sugar water during menstruation could be considered as being greedy. She was too lazy to care about Zhao's mother's behavior. After all, she came to live in someone else's house just to get a meal ticket.
Besides, if she wants to cheat, how can she be discovered?
No, anyone who steals the brown sugar water is too pathetic.
Lin Yiyi drank the remaining brown sugar water in a few gulps and said calmly, "Tiedan is picking radishes in the backyard. He will be here soon."
When Zhao's mother heard this, she was like a pheasant with its feathers blown off. "What? He is only a little old and you let him pull carrots. It turns out that if he is not your own child, you don't care about him."
After saying this, he glared at her indignantly.
