Nongmen's clever daughter-in-law: hook a general and give birth to a cub

Chapter 59 The Cold War Begins

This dead man dared to fight with him, he was really narrow-minded!
The more you think about it, the more annoyed you become, and the more annoyed you become, the more unhappy you become!

He finished washing the bowl with a clatter, almost crushing the wooden bowl.

"Okay! Don't talk to my old lady now, right? If you have the ability, don't talk about it for the rest of your life, just be a mute!"

Du Yao muttered and complained, the work in hand was done very quickly, and after a while, she put the bowls and chopsticks neatly on the shelf.

"Children, go to bed with mother."

After bathing the three little kids, they carried them one by one to the kang, covered them with quilts, watched them sleeping soundly, and then quietly left the room.

Standing in the empty east room, Zhou Yongnian still didn't come back.

And the few quails that were scattered in the front yard had disappeared. Du Yao was nervous for a while, fearing that a thief would enter the house, so she hurried to the backyard.

The messy yard was neatly tidied up, and the three sheds for livestock were covered with fresh straw.

a horse.

a donkey.

a cow.

Each enjoys a delicious feast of fresh grass in their respective nests.

The twittering of quail came to her ears, and Du Yao looked in the direction of the sound, and there was a poultry enclosure beside the low stone wall.

"My god, didn't he do it all by himself?!"

Covering her mouth that was wide open in shock, she blinked her eyes vigorously to make sure that she didn't have hallucinations, everything was real, and she read it right.

If such a big project is all entrusted to him, even if he is given a full year, Du Yao will not be able to get it done, let alone finish it in one day.

Half an hour ago, the little daughter-in-law who was still angry with Zhou Yongnian suddenly transformed into her own man's little fan girl. Women are really fickle.

She looked around, and the crossbow hanging at the door of the small kitchen was gone. It seemed that he had gone hunting in the mountains.

The forest at night is very dangerous, but for experienced hunters, this is an excellent opportunity to catch the best game and must not be missed.

Du Yao really felt a little guilty, and her expression became more and more lonely.

"Stupid! You work so hard to support your family, why are you acting like a young lady here?!"

He scolded himself hard enough, so he almost didn't come to him directly.

But scolding is scolding, self-blame is self-blame, and the housework that should be done must be done. Zhou Yongnian is busy in the mountains all day long, and as a wife, she is not far behind.

Thinking in his heart, he had already walked into the small kitchen, took out a large chunk of coarse salt from the box, and melted it in a wooden basin beside him.

The people in the village are already very satisfied if they can eat a mouthful of salty dishes. Naturally, they will not be too harsh on the taste, but Du Yao is different.

If a person is not full, how can he have the strength to work? !
These coarse salts are mixed with a lot of impurities, most of which are dirty dust, adults can bear it, but children's stomachs can't bear it.

Therefore, Du Yao wanted to filter the coarse salt at night when he had nothing to do.

When the salt block was completely melted, I took out the gauze brought back by my mother's family from my arms, spread it on another empty wooden basin, and poured the salt on it.

Filtrate bit by bit, the impurities remain on the spun yarn, and the pure brine falls into the basin.

Scoop pure salt water into an iron pot and boil for a while until the water is completely evaporated, and the remaining white crystals are household fine salt, which is very clean.

Pick out the fine salt and put it back into the wooden box.

After finishing everything, Du Yao came out of the small kitchen, stood at the door of the west room, and peeped in through the crack of the door. The children were soundly asleep, and she turned and left.

I walked to the low wall in the backyard and looked at the quails in the pen. There were three males and two females. If they were raised well, they might still be able to lay eggs. The eggs were roasted and eaten. They were beautiful.

"Zhou Yongnian, Zhou Yongnian, are you hanging out? It's still a koi carp. If we follow this rhythm, our family can open a zoo."

In the era of raging wars, whoever has more livestock and poultry will be able to live a prosperous life. Du Yao knows this, and she has more confidence.

It is said that men and women work together without being tired, and that husbands and wives work together, and their profits cut through money. At first, I didn't believe this is a wise saying, but at this moment, Mrs. Zhou really believes it.

After sighing, he grabbed the millet and fed it to the quail.

Seeing that these non-speaking family members had enough to eat and drink, Du Yao went to the front yard to put away the sheets and bedspreads that had been dried on the tree, and spread them neatly back to the bed in the east room.

After working for an entire hour, there was no sign of Zhou Yongnian.

In the past, when he went hunting at night, he would never walk for such a long time. A sense of uneasiness rushed up from the bottom of Du Yao's heart. She took off her apron and wanted to find someone.

however!
With a creak, she just stepped out of the east room with one foot when the courtyard door was pushed open.

Zhou Yongnian walked in with a fourteen or fifteen year old girl on his back, sweating profusely.

And Du Yao saw the girl's face clearly by the moonlight, the corners of her mouth sank suddenly, isn't this the daughter of the aunt and Jiang Yang's thief!
"What happened?!"

Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, he hurried to Zhou Yongnian's side to ask what happened.

"elder sister."

Zhou Xiaofang wiped away her tears pitifully, and said delicately, "Mother asked me to go to the city to buy some household. On the way back, I got lost in the mountains and broke my leg. If my brother-in-law happened to pass by, I'm afraid I'm going to be eaten by wild wolves, I'm really scared to death."

Hearing what she said, it turned out that she acted bravely for a righteous cause, so Du Yao was relieved.

"This is your cousin, take good care of her."

After Zhou Yongnian put these words aside, he went straight into the east room.

After walking a lot in the mountains, I forgot to bring a water bag when I went out, and carried a big living person down the mountain. My mouth was really thirsty, and I urgently needed to find water to drink.

Seeing Zhou Yongnian leaving, Zhou Xiaofang wanted to stop him, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know whether to say it or not, so he glanced at Du Yao, and swallowed it back.

"If you don't go on the official road, what are you doing in the mountains?"

Du Yao stretched out her hand to help her cousin who was put on the ground by Zhou Yongnian.

From the city back to the village, there is a shortcut in the mountains, an official road, and it is enough to enter the mountains during the day, save some distance, so as not to exhaust yourself.

But seeing that the sky is already too dark, how courageous is Zhou Xiaofang?She actually dared to walk the mountain road alone. If she hadn't met Zhou Yongnian, she would have never returned, and she would have given her own life.

"This mountain is not opened by anyone, why can't I go?"

Zhou Xiaofang supported Du Yao's arm, stood up unsteadily, and rolled her eyes by the way.

Can't say good things well, caring about her, and caring about making mistakes? !
