With ten taels of silver in his pocket, Yunfei went to the grain store, first bought seasonings, then ten jins of rice and ten jins of soybeans.
He also drank some alcohol of this era. Because he only had one pair of hands and no car, he didn't buy anything else and just went home.
It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when we got home, and it wasn't time to make dinner yet.
In the yard, Zhao Baozhu was chopping firewood, sweating profusely.
To be honest, given her body shape, doing these jobs is really tiring. Although she is fat, she is actually weak on the inside, just an empty shell.
You can tell by looking at her little fat hands that are shaking a little, they are probably holding on.
Yun flew over, but the ax in her hand told her to take the meat to the kitchen, "I don't need you to chop wood, let's go make a fire and fry the lard, okay?"
Of course Zhao Baozhu knows how to do it. Their family is a butcher and they often need fried lard.
The young lady usually rests in the room, while her mother does the work, and then she is responsible for helping her mother light the fire.
So she happily carried the meat and left. This job was much easier than chopping firewood.
At home, her mother split firewood, but after coming here, she was basically the one doing the splitting.
Because no one else could do it, only Zhang Dujuan could take turns doing it with her.
Click~~
Bang.
Then there were several more clicks, and Yunfei had already chopped many of them, as fast as cutting tofu.
Du Qingliu was sitting in the yard washing clothes while secretly shocked.
I didn’t expect that such a thin and weak man could be quite strong at work?
The original body that has been connotated can no longer even pretend to be a corpse.
Du Qingliu was accustomed to calling him Zhang, Zhao, and Du. He didn't react for a while, but then he remembered that he should be asking about Zhang.
He replied: "Sister Zhang should still be collecting firewood on the mountain."
After all, since she became pregnant, she has been reluctant to do the work of moving goods at the dock. Of course, there is no shortage of people recently.
So she needs to collect more firewood to sell.
A load of firewood can be sold for two cents, or three cents if you are lucky...
The price is low because there are so many people collecting firewood and selling it, and there is no shortage of this stuff.
But there are only so many people in the town who need to buy firewood.
Yunfei nodded and shouted in the yard, "Osmanthus, go to the mountain and call your sister-in-law. The sun is too strong, so let her go home and rest."
"Okay." The girl's crisp response sounded in the room.
She put down the purse she was embroidering in her hand and hurried up the mountain, fearing that her brother would be displeased if she was delayed.
After all, in this family, she can only rely on her brother.
……..…
The lard in the kitchen was already fragrant, and the rich smell made Zhao Baozhu, who was in charge of lighting the fire, unable to stop swallowing.
Du Qingliu, who was washing wild vegetables outside the door, was no better.
As for the clothes she was washing just now, they were already in Yunfei's hands.
It was so sunny that he had to fetch water and a pregnant woman was squatting here to wash clothes. He felt that he couldn't stand it.
Just let Du Qingliu wash the wild vegetables and wash them yourself.
In the basin were the clothes of the three women and Yunfei. As for the white osmanthus, she washed it herself and did not ask her sister-in-law to wash it for her.
Of course, this move aroused suspicion again, and no one knew what tricks he was holding back.
Du Qingliu had thought about whether her husband was concerned about the dowry money in Zhao Baozhu's hands.
But I think it doesn't make sense. After all, if that's the case, then why not just dote on Zhao Baozhu alone? There's no need to treat her so considerately.
Especially those who in the past wanted to let Ms. Zhang work from morning to night without sleeping, today actually said that the sun was shining brightly and asked her to go home and rest.
After confirming that the sun was indeed rising from the east, she felt relieved.
It turns out that the sun didn't come out in the west.
No one had a full breakfast, and there was no lunch, so the smell of the food made everyone feel hungry.
Even Yunfei's stomach started growling because he didn't think of buying something to eat in town.
After washing the clothes, Yunfei called Zhao Baozhu to come out to dry them, and then took over the work in the kitchen.
When Zhao Baozhu left the kitchen, he was still a little reluctant to leave. He couldn't eat the meat, so it would be nice to smell it.
The last time their family ate meat was at the beginning of the year, because the meat was smelly and they didn't sell it.
But even if it was spoiled meat, she and her mother only got two pieces, and her father and mother ate the rest.
Even though their family is a butcher of pigs, in addition to not being able to sell the spoiled meat, they only sell some pigs for tooth-beating sacrifices.
She couldn't get used to eating those pigs in the water and always vomited.
After Du Qingliu finished washing the vegetables and didn't know what to do, he simply walked into the kitchen and asked, "Ahem, husband, do you need my help?"
"No, there's a lot of fumes here. If you cough, go back to your room and rest!"
Just staying with them this afternoon, Yunfei heard dozens of coughs. No wonder her voice was always hoarse.
There seems to be some cough drops in the space, and I can take her pulse later to see what's wrong.
Yunfei put some sugar in the oil residue he fished out and let it dry.
Then I cut lean meat and wild vegetables, made a soup, and fried an omelette with chopped green onions.
If Du Qingliu hadn't already returned to his room, he would probably be so distressed.
For example, Zhao Baozhu was hanging on the door frame. She was swallowing saliva while peeking.
I feel so bad for that small spoonful of oil.
My husband is such a prodigal. Their family never uses so much oil for cooking. Just frying an egg requires so much oil.
It's great to cook with water. Water doesn't cost anything, and firewood doesn't cost anything either.
The rice that was simmering in the pot was not ready yet, so Yunfei warmed the food in another pot and asked Zhao Baozhu to come in and watch the fire.
Seeing that there was still rice in the pot, Zhao Baozhu's eyes almost popped out of his head.
It's over. Could it be that my husband is not ready to live anymore and wants to divorce them?
Such a good meal doesn't look like it's for them.
The portion is so large, is there a guest?
She was very confused, but she didn't dare to ask because Bai Yongming hated women like them who asked questions and couldn't clearly see their own status.
In a word, they are not worthy of asking anything he does.
Soon Bai Guihua and Zhang Dujuan came back carrying firewood.
It is true that there is sunshine today, but the wind is quite strong. In fact, it is not too hot compared to summer.
So both of them were a little confused. Is the sun very strong today?
I'm just used to being obedient and going home when I'm told.
The house was filled with the aroma of lard, making the two people who returned home salivate.
He could only hide his greed by drinking water, and ignored his growling stomach.
After pregnancy, except for Du Qingliu who had some morning sickness and couldn't eat, the other two people didn't feel anything. They vomited and vomited, but they also got hungry quickly and always felt like they didn't have enough to eat.
