Chapter 252 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (3)
Many people have a thought: Darling! This is so powerful!
Two kilos of grain would cost even these strong men some effort.
Not to mention women. Among the capable women in the village, who didn’t grit their teeth and blush while picking up the grains while shouldering the burden?
Who is like this little lady, it seems that what she is carrying is not food, but two empty baskets.
Uncle Li and Aunt Li were also stunned.
Aunt Li couldn't help but touch the back of her neck, feeling a little cold.
She said in her heart that luckily there was no fight. With her strength, let alone her own, her son might not be her match even if he came!
Someone whispered: "No wonder her brother and sister-in-law are in a hurry to marry her off. She must be very good at eating. How much does she need to eat every day with such great effort..."
Xu Yin acted as if she hadn't heard anything. She carried two baskets of grain steadily and still had time to lead her third sister away by the hand.
She showed off her powers on purpose.
There was no mature man in the family, just her and the two carrots. People with ulterior motives might come to the door to steal and rob. I can't say that it would be 100% preventable, but it would serve as a deterrent to some extent.
When Xu Yin got home, she saw Erlang and her third sister looked at her with adoring eyes and rubbed their heads in a funny way:
"Go in, Erlang, do you know how to remove the chaff? I'll return the baskets and poles and come back to cook some dry rice for you."
When they heard that there was dry rice to eat, the two carrot heads were very happy. They worked together to wash and dry the pestle and mortar. One took the pestle and stick, the other scooped out the millet, and pounded the rice with a bang.
Xu Yin left quickly and returned quickly. When she came back, she took over the work from the two children and pounded the rice for today's meal in three strokes.
Then Erlang lit the fire and she cooked.
It was said to be dry rice, but considering that the three of them had not eaten dry rice for a long time, their stomachs were accustomed to clear soups with less water, so they might not be used to it if they were filled with dry rice all at once, so they added more water and simmered soft rice that was thicker than porridge.
When I went to return my things just now, I took a handful of brown sugar and exchanged it for six eggs with the enthusiastic village woman.
Four were collected, two were scattered, and stir-fried together with the leeks picked in the shade behind the house that had shriveled due to lack of water.
There was no oil at home, but the scrambled eggs didn't taste good without oil, so she secretly added some walnut oil stored in the system warehouse.
Scrambled eggs with leeks and soft rice were a simple peasant meal in Xu Yin's opinion, but the two children were extremely satisfied with it.
After eating, Xu Yin took a pole and a bucket and went to the river to pick up a few buckets of water. She filled the water tank at home with water and boiled the extra water for the two children to bathe.
There is not much water in the river, and the bottom stepping stones are exposed at the river pier.
Lijia Village is located near a mountain. There used to be streams flowing into the river all year round, and even the riverbanks would overflow during the rainy season.
There has been little rain this year. It has not rained since the beginning of spring. Not to mention that the streams have been cut off and the rivers are almost dry.
The water Xu Yin picked up was turbid and had to be clarified before drinking.
Erlang and Third Sister looked at her with emotion.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law!"
"Are you tired, sister-in-law? Let me give you a good beating."
The caring third sister in a cotton-padded jacket held her soft little fists and beat Xu Yin's shoulders.
Xu Yin lamented that children from farm families mature early.
"Thank you, third sister, but my sister-in-law is not tired. She is very strong."
"Sister-in-law, is the water in the river drying up soon?" Erlang asked worriedly. He began to worry about his livelihood at a young age.
Xu Yin looked at the clear blue sky with no trace of haze in the distance. Thinking of the drought mentioned in the plot, she sighed in her heart.
In ancient times, there was no artificial rainfall, and human power could not resist the weather.
She has seen it, and [Floating Light and Misty Rain] still cannot be used in this world.
It can't be used in modern times, it can't be used in the world of cultivation, it can't be used in ancient times, and I can't think of any other world where it can be used.
Fortunately, there is no lag in the system this time. It is online, the system warehouse is available, and the settlement rewards from the previous small world have also been received.
She logs in to see:
Energy point balance:.
Task progress bar: 11%.
Maximum time ratio: 1100:1
Random skill: [Universal Voice Actor], which can simulate all sounds of people and nature.
Xu Yin was a little confused after reading:
Didn’t the task of the movie queen control group be completed well? Why were the rewards so much less than those in the previous small world?
As a patient, she has to be so careful, and during this period she is also running around filming and recording variety shows, how easy is it for her!
System, come out! Let’s chat!
But having said that, there are actually a lot of energy points, but who makes it difficult to switch from luxury to frugality.
After tasting the sweetness brought by the World Champion World Energy Points, when I saw that the first number was a matchstick number 1, I felt it was no longer delicious.
Let’s look at the random skill [Universal Voice Actor], what is this? Simulate various voices?
She's not a ventriloquist, so what's the use?
It's better to give him a useful skill similar to [Permanent Divine Power]. For example, he can run fast and walk as if he has used Lingbo Weibu.
It's a pity that I don't have a choice.
Xu Yin threw the seemingly useless [Universal Voice Actor] into the skill warehouse.
Looking up at the cloudless sky, I am once again worried about the drought described in the plot and the subsequent locust plague. How can I solve it?
The high technology available in the system mall does include equipment for digging deep underground water or making artificial rainfall, but the cost may be prohibitive.
Is escape really the only option left?
But even if he escapes, where to escape is a question.
Xu Yin was giving her third sister a bath while she was thinking.
Erlang can wash himself, Xu Yin only needs to wash his hair for him.
After the two children had taken a bath, Xu Yin helped them dry their hair and put on clean clothes. She found that their clothes and pants were either short or torn.
Nowadays, even if she has a lot of thick cotton cloth in her warehouse, she can't use it at will. Fortunately, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, so keep it short, so you can make do with it first.
As for the worn areas, she picked a few rags of similar colors and made a few patches.
But she is very handy, and the patches she makes look like embroidery.
For example, Erlang's ripped trousers were embroidered with a cat on the knee; Third Sister's cuffs that were starched to the point of splitting were embroidered with green bamboo.
The brother and sister were so happy that their eyes narrowed with laughter.
Xu Yin found a dark hairband that was not eye-catching, and gave her third sister two little buns, which was cute and refreshing.
"Erlang, I'm going to wash clothes downstream and pick up some water to water the vegetable fields. You can take care of Third Sister at home and don't open the door when anyone comes." Xu Yin collected the dirty clothes into a basin and raised a pair of buckets and said to Erlang.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you. I can carry water." Erlang ran over carrying a small bucket.
"I can do that too." Third sister followed out holding a small wooden basin.
Xu Yin's persuasion was useless, and the two carrot heads insisted on going to help.
"Okay, let's go together. But Third Sister, don't carry the basin. Let's carry the bucket with Erlang. Sister-in-law will see what food is in the river and put it in your little bucket."
"Why!"
The two carrot heads responded very simply.
This is the first time their sister-in-law has taken them out since they moved in.
Oh no, this is the second time! The first time was when I went to my uncle’s house at noon to beg for food.
Thinking of the two baskets full of food at home, Erlang couldn't suppress the raised corners of his mouth.
