Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 19 No Water
After returning home, Mother Yan became angrier as she thought about it, and said, "What kind of mess is this old family doing again? I thought she had stopped a few days ago."

As far as Yanmu is concerned, it is typical that she can talk behind her back, but outsiders are not allowed to talk about their Yan family.

Sister Yan smiled kindly, "The third sibling should have their own ideas."

Mother Yan glanced at her, and didn't bother with this matter anymore.

There are still a few months before winter, but every household is busy, because once winter comes, there will be no food.Usually there are shops selling grain on the streets, but when winter comes, all the shops are closed.

The food in every household is not enough to eat, not to mention the shortage of food in the Great Zhou Kingdom, even the neighboring countries are short of food.This is also the reason why several countries have continued to have small wars and small frictions before, but they have never really started a war.

People in a country can't even eat enough to eat, and if the problem of food and clothing is not solved, how can they have the energy to fight a war.Fighting a war is a job that consumes energy and materials.Even if several countries are not very friendly and have the urge to occupy each other, the military rations and economy do not allow it.

The men of the Yan family are still working in the fields, and this year's harvest is still not good, but self-sufficiency is still no problem.

In the past winters, the third daughter-in-law would go to the town to buy food in advance, but this year she has wasted money on chickens. Could it be that she still expects to eat those chickens in winter?

Mother Yan is someone who has experienced it, so she naturally knows how hard it is to raise a chicken. Their chickens are always raised, at least for two years.

The chickens in the countryside are all free-range. They let the chickens find their own food, and sometimes they catch some worms and throw them to the chickens. The chickens are not balanced in nutrition, so they grow very slowly.They prefer hens to develop their ability to lay eggs.

If there is a hen that is good at laying eggs in the family, it will be precious.

It's hard to say whether those chickens of the third daughter-in-law can survive this winter.

Just as Mother Yan was thinking, Father Yan and Brother Yan came back with a hoe on their shoulders, both covered in sweat.

Aunt Yan immediately went to the house to fetch hot water, wet the handkerchief, and handed it over: "Father, the child's father, you all wipe your face."

Brother Yan blushed and responded. He has dark skin and an honest look.

Father Yan also washed his face and sat in front of the hall to rest. He was old and felt tired after doing some work. Fortunately, he still had cigarettes to smoke, which could relieve his fatigue.

In the evening, Mrs. Yan started to cook. This time, she spread out a pile of coarse grain pancakes, served with dried pickles, and fried a blood-skin vegetable, because a handful of lard residue was added, which was fragrant.

After a few people finished their meal in silence, Mrs. Yan went to wash the dishes again.

The corner of the clothes behind her was suddenly pulled, she was taken aback, and saw Yan Yuan looking up at her innocently: "Mother, when will I have new clothes?"

Aunt Yan was taken aback, and her subordinates did not stop, she quickly cleaned a few dishes: "What's the matter, do you have no clothes to wear? Why do you ask this?"

Yan Yuan then said: "I saw that Yan Hen and brother Yan Chu were wearing new clothes. They said that the third aunt also bought a few sets."

Yan Cai's ears twitched, and he immediately ran in: "Yes, brother Yan Chu said last time that their family eats meat every day."

Mrs. Yan paused while washing the dishes, and said nonchalantly, "Go, go, I'm short of food and clothing for you?"

Seeing that Mother was about to get angry, Yan Cai rolled his eyes and ran away quickly, pulling Yan Yuan.

They are just two children who don't understand the thoughts of adults. As long as they have food and clothing, they feel happy. The world of children is so simple.

Speaking without intention, the listener is intentional.

When going to bed at night, Mrs. Yan felt a little uncomfortable. She pushed Brother Yan next to her and said, "I heard from Yan Cai that the third younger siblings are doing pretty well, and they eat meat every day. Her flower method , and don’t empty out the family.”

This is not the first time they have talked about it, but before, it was Mother Yan who talked about it, and Sister Yan usually made a lot of money.

Brother Yan was very tired after working all day, so he responded casually, "Yes."

He is seldom talkative and sincere. He rarely gets along with Yun Yiyi, and he has no idea about the evaluation of her from the outside world.After all, a single-minded person only knows how to work, and can't hold so many things in his mind.

Sister-in-law Yan was encouraged, she pursed her lips and continued: "And mother also said that she bought a few sets of new clothes for the children, and they bought them at the clothes shop."

Big Brother Yan snorted, "The third sibling is indeed living a more refined life."

When the family lived together, the third sibling often spent money to buy new clothes for themselves, and my mother told her about it several times.

Mrs. Yan said: "Yes..." She turned her head and was about to say something more when she found that Brother Yan had fallen asleep.

After a few minutes, there was a snoring sound.

Sister Yan looked at her head in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

The next day, Sister-in-law Yan kneaded whole grains and white flour together for the first time, and made a meal of steamed buns. The steamed buns were filled with salt, which was slightly salty to the bite.

A few children liked it very much. It has a delicate texture and taste. They ate a lot of porridge and water.

Sister-in-law Yan has always been stingy and frugal, but she even used white flour early this morning.

Mother Yan was a little surprised and asked, "Is there a happy event today?"

Aunt Yan smiled, "I see Dad and the others are so busy every day, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep up with nutrition."

This reasoning also makes sense, Mother Yan glanced at her, but didn't speak, she ate a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge, and she was full, and put away the bowls by the way.

Yancai was very happy. In the past, steamed buns made during the Chinese New Year were tasteless, but this salty steamed bun was eaten with vegetables, and it had a special flavor.

He took a bite of the steamed bun and said vaguely, "Mother, why are you willing to put salt in the steamed bun today?"

Usually, even when cooking, my mother would not be willing to put oil and salt. The clear soup with little water can't be said to be delicious.

Sister Yan lowered her eyes, but did not speak yet.

Mother Yan said in a nonchalant manner, "Yancai, you have to remember that this is the salt sent by your third aunt, you know?"

Yan Cai was short, but he was seven years old, and he knew a lot of things. Although he didn't know how much salt his third aunt sent last time, he knew a lot.

Hearing what grandma said at this time, he nodded.

Sister Yan felt a little sad when she heard that.

The little girl who was only over one year old suddenly started crying, probably peed again, and Mrs. Yan also hurriedly picked her up and carried her to the latrine, forgetting the previous unhappiness.

Mother Yan has been with her for so long, so she doesn't know what's on her mind.

But Mrs. Yan likes to think more in her heart, and she won't cause trouble, so she let her go.

Yun Yiyi's temperament is really strange. When she was in Yan's family, she often gave Yan's sister-in-law supercilious and refused to obey her discipline.But Sister Yan, as an elder, must give in to Yun Yiyi and maintain a tolerant attitude.It would be a lie to say that she had no resentment in her heart.

But they couldn't control Yun Yiyi before, and now they have no reason to control her.

Since she wants to live a luxurious life, they can't stop her from buying things.

Not to mention that Mrs. Yan was feeling uncomfortable, even the women in the village were jealous of Yun Yiyi.This is all human nature.

Yun Yiyi on the other side found that the water in the tank was gone.

There is a large stone jar in the kitchen. When she came, it was filled with water. It looked full and could be used for a long time, but she couldn't stop her from using too much water.

She loves to be clean and has to bathe every day, and the two cubs also have to take a bath, not to mention washing vegetables and cooking every day, and using water to cool down the chicks.

Even water resources are scarce in this era, and every household does not have a well, and they fetch water from the small river, which is far away and very inconvenient.

What's more, with her small body, she can only fetch one bucket of water at a time, which will take a long time.

To say that although the protagonist is lazy, she is still very kind to herself. At least for her own convenience, she will go to distant places to fetch water to drink, and she will cook delicious food to reward herself when she is hungry.

But as a modern person, Yun Yiyi naturally couldn't understand this kind of backwardness.

She had never done this kind of physical work before, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh when she saw the water tank bottoming out.

The water problem must be solved.

If she had to fetch water from a distance every time, she would definitely collapse.

Of course Yun Yiyi didn't know that in winter, the village was really cold. Unfortunately, in bad weather, the river would be covered with ice, making it extremely troublesome to fetch water.When there was a flood, the water was so cloudy that even dogs wouldn't drink it.So everyone has developed a habit of saving water, even if there is no water to drink one day, what should we do?
It can be said that there is only one person like Yun Yiyi who pours water on the ground to cool down the chicken.

Yun Yiyi dug out two buckets, carried them on her shoulders, and asked the two cubs to stand in the buckets to test her physical strength.

After walking for more than ten minutes, she saw a pool of spring water. The water was indeed quite clear, and it was the spring water born in this mountain.

People in the village also know that this is drinking water and has not been polluted.

When she got here, Yun Yiyi found that it was not very far. The road was all uphill. She felt tired after walking too hard. She hurriedly filled two buckets with water to [-]% full before she walked back.

This time it was a downhill road, Yun Yiyi found that walking was much smoother, and she arrived home in a short while.

Pour two buckets of water into the tank, just to the bottom.

Yun Yiyi frowned, but didn't move for a long time.

She carried the two cubs there, Yan Dashuang was still immersed in the joy of being a free rickshaw just now, and hurriedly asked: "Mom, shall we still carry water?"

Naturally, this little water is not enough, probably only enough for cooking today, but Yun Yiyi didn't want to run away.

She shook her head and glared at Yan Dashuang, "Do you think your mother is Dali Vajra? I won't be going today."

Yan Dashuang felt a little regretful.

Yan Xiaoshuang puffed out her cheeks, and stood in front of the bucket seriously for comparison. When she found that she was taller than the bucket, she was immediately full of confidence, "Mom, I'm going to carry water."

Yun Yiyi took a funny look at Routuanzi, pinched his cheek, "You, you have to wait ten years."

Yan Dashuang and Yan Xiaoshuang have gained weight recently, and they are round and round, which is quite different from before.

The most obvious thing is that the cheeks of both of them are swollen, their flesh is thick, their skin is also white, their lips are red and their teeth are white, they look like two buns.
