Chapter 292 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (42)

 After the sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner, the family sat around the charcoal pot and kept vigil by the fire.

Since charcoal is needed to burn bricks and tiles, Xu Yin burned some smokeless bamboo charcoal.

However, it is said to be smokeless, which means there is less smoke and dust compared to charcoal, and the carbon monoxide emitted will not be reduced when the combustion is incomplete.

So every time before using charcoal, she would tell the two little ones again and again: Be sure to open a window or leave a crack in the door.

 She also visited other houses in the village one by one.

"Sister-in-law, last time you asked me to bring the bamboo charcoal from the master's house, so that the master could praise me!" Mentioning the charcoal, Erlang said with a bang, "The master also said that by accepting me as a student, things will turn around! "

Xu Yin poked at the roasted sweet potatoes in the charcoal basin and couldn't help but laugh: "Master, those are polite words."

"No!" Erlang's chest puffed up. He was about to list a few significant changes he had brought to the Confucius family after becoming his disciple, but he didn't want to be picked up by his elder brother.

 “Brother, what are you doing!”

 “It’s getting late, it’s time for you and Third Sister to go to bed!”

 “I’m not sleepy yet.”

"you are tired."

 “I’m really not sleepy.”

"you are tired!

  “…”Brother, you are so unreasonable!

Li Yuanjin waited for the two cubs to let out long breathing sounds, then gently closed the door to their room and tiptoed back to the main room.

He saw his wife holding her chin and looking at him with a half-smile, as if she had seen through his intentions.

 The blood all over his body seemed to be boiling at this moment, and even his ears were frighteningly hot.

“Ahem.” He covered his lips with his fist, cleared his throat, and sat down next to her, “They both fell asleep.”

"Oh." Xu Yin still looked at him with a smile, and suddenly called his name, "Li Yuanjin."

 The tips of his ears trembled, and his Adam's apple rolled obviously, as if a response came from deep in his throat: "Huh?"

Xu Yin chuckled lightly, stopped teasing him, and took out a sweet potato: "It smells so good! Do you want to eat it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he hugged me sideways.

Xu Yin was not aware of it for a moment and was so frightened that she let go of her hand and the tongs fell to the ground. She had subconsciously wrapped her hands around his neck.

 “What are you doing!”

　　After the panic, his tone was a bit irritated and soft.

Li Yuanjin chuckled a few times, as if responding to her previous inquiry: "It really tastes good! My husband really wants to eat it!"

　　　…”

 New Year’s Eve is a day of reunion.

Well, he actually practiced it and implemented it.

Xu Yin vowed: I will never tease anyone casually again.

 The price is too high to bear.

 On the first day of the first lunar month, the sun is shining brightly.

Xu Yin stretched out in bed, her whole body sore that she grinned.

 A man's low laugh came from above his head.

 “Didn’t you get up early?”

“Well, the water has been boiled. Do you want to take a shower? Or should I carry you to Dongshan’ao for a warm bath?”

 “Forget it.” Xu Yin shook her head.

At this point, the chance of being bumped into is too high.

“Wow! Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, is this my New Year’s bag?”

 “I also have a second brother.”

 “Wow wow wow! That’s a lot of money!”

 “Second brother, mine is a small hairpin.”

“I am definitely the one with the biggest New Year’s package in Hope Village!”

 “Second brother and I!”

  “…”     The conversation between the brother and sister could be heard outside the house, and soon the footsteps gradually faded away, as if they had gone out to show off to their respective friends.

Li Yuanjin lowered his eyes and looked into her smiling eyes: "You were hiding in the room yesterday afternoon just to seal the New Year's packages for them?"

 “I didn’t put in a few pennies, just to be happy!”

 “Then why didn’t I? Madam, you are partial!”

　　…"Then I'll pack one for you?"

 “Well, I have the final say on how much to pack.”

 “…How much do you want to pack?”

 “You. I want to take care of my wife and groom her.”

 Xu Yin: “…”

 Having been talking for a long time, are you kidding me?

There was no such thing as winter vacation in ancient times. After the first day of the first lunar month, Li Yuanjin returned to the military camp and took Erlang to Wenfuzi's house.

Xu Yin packed a bag of food for each of them, and also prepared a New Year's gift for Mrs. Wen.

 After seeing off the first child and the second child, Xu Yin began to prepare for spring plowing.

 You need to take precautions when floods come, and farm normally if they don’t come.

 Others followed her example, and whatever she did, they did.

Especially those households whose autumn harvest last year was not ideal, they almost copied every step, fearing that if they made a mistake, they would miss out on a good harvest.

When people from Shanxia Village met them, they pointed and laughed: "Hey! Where's the flood? Why is there no trace?"

“I heard that you spent a month fighting on the river to prevent floods? It’s such a pity, a month’s work was in vain!”

 “Tsk, you’re wasting so many bricks and there’s no land for us to build a house with, how wonderful it would be!”

Cuilan angrily came to Xu Yin to complain: "They went too far! They even called us cowards who were running away from famine, and said we were running away from addiction! Everything looked like we were going to have a famine... They made me so angry! So angry me Got it!"

"It doesn't matter what they do! As long as we feel that our work was not in vain in that month." Xu Yin enlightened her.

“That’s what you say, but it sounds so irritating!”

"It means you are too busy. Come on! Help me cut the vegetables. I will give you two later. This food tastes so good! I would not be willing to give it to ordinary people."

Xu Yin was busy growing winter cabbage, so she just brought Cuilan as a young man.

　　　…”

Just when Xu Yin brought the winter cabbage from the two acres of land into the house, selected the best-selling ones and stored them in the system warehouse, and neatly piled the rest in the corner of the kitchen to find time to pickle sauerkraut, the spring thunder started.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

A powerful bolt of lightning tore through the sky, and thunder rolled through the sky.

The big raindrops fell cracklingly, and soon it became a heavy downpour.

The rain was like pouring down from the sky, and it was pouring incessantly.

 Xu Yin put on a raincoat and a bamboo hat and ran from her home to Lihua's house to pick up her third sister. After picking up her third sister, they returned home. They were still soaked in rain gear, and a lot of muddy water was poured into their embroidered shoes.

 Fortunately, there was hot water in the pot. I gave Sanmei a hot bath first, dried her, wrapped her in a cotton robe, and asked her to sit on the bed and read homemade comics. It was her turn to wash herself.

 After taking a shower, drying my long hair, I started making dinner.

 Besides the sound of rain, no noise can be heard outside the house, giving people a feeling of isolation from the world.

This made Xu Yin increasingly uneasy.

 The people of Hope Village are extremely lucky to live in brick houses at this moment.

If it were still the small wooden house with thatched roof when we first came here, the roof would have been cut through by the rainwater, leaving us with nowhere to hide.

 “Be good! I’ve never seen such heavy rain in my life.”

“Perhaps God thinks he owes us a few rains and will compensate us all at once today?”

“I wonder if there’s been rain over there in my hometown. It would be great if it was this big. The drought is finally over.”

"It's hard to say! I'm just afraid that Tongxing Mansion won't attack, and they will all attack in this area!"

The rain continued from the evening to the next morning, with a brief break in the middle. Everyone thought it should stop. When it didn't rain, they looked forward to rain, but when it kept raining, they worried about the crops in the fields.

However, after breakfast, the rain not only didn’t stop, but got heavier again.
