Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 34 Paving the Way
"I want you to take care of it. Did the master teach you to contradict your elders in the school? Haven't you heard of the word respecting the old and loving the young? I'm your second brother."

He would use what he learned now, and took Liu Man'er to teach him what he said. He revised it and applied it to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng immediately turned red-eyed, "If I know you're wrong but don't tell you, is that respecting you? I'm not contradicting you, I just hope you can study hard in the school."

"It's not my turn to teach you. You just studied a few years before me. What's the big deal?"

The two brothers were about to quarrel, and Fang came in with a bowl of rice, and when she heard the quarrel between the two brothers, she put the rice on the table, then turned her head and said, "What are you two brothers arguing about? .”

"Hmph!" Ye Qing snorted coldly, and sat down on the stool.

Liu Man'er patted Ye Feng's head, and said: "You are a good boy, anyway, my sister-in-law supports you, but in the future, you can't be distracted in class. If you don't, how do you know that your second brother is distracted?" Woolen cloth?"

"It's my fault, I will remember it, and I will be more serious in the future." Ye Feng replied.

"This is a good boy." Liu Man'er patted his head, signaling him to eat.

……

The next day when the weather was cooler, Liu Man'er brought two big bowls.

And she led the two children to dig mud in the field, which she had promised before, to help the two children make two sand basins.

Although there is a river here, but this is the rainy season, and I can't find the fine sand that Liu Man'er wanted, so Liu Man'er planned to use mud instead.

The mud has always been soft, and Liu Man'er thought that after putting it in a basin, as long as it was kept moist, she could write on it.

Before, when she saw Ye He and Liu Fusheng writing on the ground, and rubbing them off vigorously with their shoes after they finished writing, she remembered that when she was a child, her family was also poor. At that time, her father helped her make a sand table.

She used branches to write on the sand table, and after she finished writing, the branches swept away, and the sand table was intact again.

Now she draws a ladle from a gourd to make this clay bowl, they can use tiny branches to write on the clay in the future, and after scraping it off, it will be as good as before.

However, the mud used is particular. It must use the mud from the field. As for the ordinary loess, it is too sticky. There is no doubt about it. It has been raining for the past few days. I'm bored to death.

So when the weather is fine this day, she will ask Ye Yuan to go out and find a few flat stones to use as a stepping stone, if it's not possible, cobblestones are also fine, it's better than stepping on mud every day.

Ye Yuan got Liu Man'er's order, so he went to the mountain to look for stones. In this countryside, everything is lacking, but there is no shortage of stones.

When Liu Man'er took the two children to practice calligraphy, he was carrying a load of pebbles into the yard.

"Are you back?" Liu Man'er hurried up to meet him. She carefully wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, went to the kitchen to scoop up a bowl of water, and handed it to him.

Ye Yuan took the water that Liu Man'er handed him very subtly in his heart, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he handed the bowl to Liu Man'er and asked, "Tell me, is there anything else you want me to do?"

Uh……

Liu Man'er couldn't help choking, and after giving him a blank look, she said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with it, I just want you to strike while the iron is hot, and pave the road quickly."

"I'll do it well, you don't need to be so diligent." Ye Yuan replied seriously.

"How can you be courteous? It's perfectly normal for me to wipe your sweat and scoop up a bowl of water for you when I watch you work hard." Liu Man'er said with a smile, "Shouldn't this husband and wife treat each other with respect? "

Respect each other as guests!

When Ye Yuan thought of this word, he thought of what happened last night.

Originally, Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan took Liu Fusheng to sleep together because of Liu Fusheng's clamor to go home. In the past few days, Liu Fusheng and Ye Feng slept together, and the relationship between Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan There are no more obstacles.

After half a month of recuperation, Liu Man'er's complexion has improved a lot, her face has gained a lot of flesh, and her hair looks darker, at least not as sallow and thin as before.

Last night, I just wanted to kiss her, but she kicked me out of bed!Liu Man'er said that husband and wife should respect each other as guests, you haven't seen guests hug each other, have you?
Let him coax her in every possible way, she seemed to have committed a foolish crime at that time, and she accepted this deadly reason.

Alas, who, exactly who said it, husband and wife should respect each other as guests!

Presumably today, she felt a little guilty in her heart, so she wanted to use this to compensate herself, but she was also a clever little guy.

"I'm going to lay the floor, you can go and do your work." After all, he couldn't explain her nonsense, so Ye Yuan buried himself in his work.

He brought the hammer from the house, spread the pebbles on the ground, and then used the hammer to hammer them into the mud one by one, until it was three parts like mud, Ye Yuan didn't stop.

From the courtyard gate to the main hall, two paths lead to the east and west rooms, and from the back door to the kitchen, and the hut, all are neatly paved, so that in rainy days, you will no longer be afraid of getting muddy on your feet.

After the pavement was finished, Liu Man'er stepped on it with great interest, and the two children also stepped on it behind her.

Liu Man'er didn't particularly like children in her previous life, but in this life, it may be because she treats them sincerely. In just over half a month, these two children have grown from being afraid of her, hating her, to clinging to her. .

Liu Man'er has always liked well-behaved children, and she loves the two children very much, and she has truly fulfilled her duty as the elder sister-in-law.

In other words, she never thought that one day she would live such a life, teaching children and farming the fields.

However, on such a day, there is no intrigue, and sometimes it is quite leisurely to think about it.

If so, never have to worry about the problem of not having enough food, and it is best to always have surplus food at home.

In the morning, she taught the children calligraphy, played with them for a while, went to the river to wash clothes, and continued to make silk flowers in the afternoon. She had already made up her mind that she would go to the market tomorrow to earn some pocket money, otherwise she would just sit and eat like this all day long. Absolutely not.

And when the weather was good, Ye Yuan also started his old profession, hunting in the mountains.

In the evening, Lianye Liu Man'er made all these silk flowers, and the next day, she took Ye He and Liu Fusheng to the town to sell the silk flowers.

The old saying is easier said than done, and this is really true.

After finally reaching the town, Liu Man'er walked from the street to the end of the street without even finding a stall.

She wanted to go to other people's shops to display them, but those who opened the shops had filled the corridors with things early on, and seeing Xiaoer's fierce eyes, Liu Man'er decided not to make fun of herself.

"What should I do?" Ye He held Liu Man'er's clothes tightly, looking quite worried.

She was looking forward to selling silk flowers this time, but the reality hit her hard.

Although there is only one street in this town, they are also divided into several sections. Places in different locations sell different things. Naturally, there is a lively street in the middle, with many rouge shops, cloth shops, Clothing stores are set up here.

And the next section sells some snacks, after all, everyone wants to rest when they are tired from walking.

Vegetables, fruits, and poultry and livestock are sold on the streets and at the end of the street.

Liu Man'er naturally wanted to set up a stall in the middle, otherwise, she would put this thing in a place where people sell poultry and livestock, and she wouldn't say anything else, just the smell would scare people away.

Some little girls would never come to this place at all.

And the space outside has already been filled by others.

"Don't be discouraged. It's the first time we sell things, we are inevitably inexperienced. This time we have learned a lesson. Whatever we do, we have to do it early. Even if we don't sell it this time, it will be fine next time. "

Liu Man'er comforted the two little guys.

But in fact, she was very anxious in her heart, she had no money in hand, if she could not sell these things, then she would not be able to eat anymore.

What's more, she made two promises to Ye He and Liu Fusheng today. If they sell them, she will buy a piece of fragrant soap for Ye He and a brush for Liu Fusheng.

Liu Fusheng is now sleeping with Ye Feng. After he writes down the words, he sometimes uses Ye Feng's pen to practice on the paper, but children, after all, want to have their own pen.

Ye Feng and Liu Fusheng are both very frugal people. Liu Man'er went to see it last time. When they practice calligraphy, they first write large characters on a piece of paper, and then write medium-sized characters in the gaps. , and then use a small brush to write lowercase between the gaps.

Ye Feng was reluctant to throw away the densely written paper like this, planning to wait a little longer and reuse it after the ink faded.

Liu Fusheng wanted to buy a small writing brush. He thought there were gaps in the paper, and he could still write on it.

After Liu Man'er saw it, she felt a little inexplicably sad, but she felt that such thrift was a good thing.

What's more, she wants to give them better material conditions, but after all, she still can't afford them now.

If the silk flowers in the basket in her hand could be sold as she imagined, then she would definitely get a lot of money.

But here comes the problem, she can't even find a booth.

This country only goes to the market once every six days, but only five times a month. Everyone cherishes this opportunity to go to the market. Some hardworking women often rummage through the boxes at home to see if there is anything that can be brought to the market. Come to sell, so that you can exchange some money, buy salt and oil, etc.

This era is not like the previous life, everything has to be bought with money, and many things here can be exchanged.

For example, beans can be exchanged for tofu, or eggs can be exchanged for sugar, osmanthus cake, etc.

But salt is a precious commodity in this era, and the store only accepts money to buy it, and the price is frighteningly expensive.

Because this salt shop is opened by the government, barter is not accepted.

Liu Man'er suddenly thought that she had to buy salt for her family. This time, in order to prove her determination to break the boat, she didn't bring any money with her. If she didn't sell these, she wouldn't be able to buy anything.
