Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 337 Reluctant and Helpless

"Everyone has seen it today. It all depends on how they act in the future."

Everyone in the kitchen nodded.

"I hope you won't let us down again." After An Yue finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

Zhang nodded repeatedly. She looked at An Yue's back and said happily, "Okay, okay, Yueyue, just wait and see how we perform in the future!"

After An Yue walked out of the kitchen, everyone followed her out.

After she came out of the kitchen, she went straight to her room.

I went back to the room, sat on the small stool by the window, and leaned over the small table.

Meng Xiuer walked into the room, came to An Yue, and comforted her: "Yueyue, thank you, you are amazing."

An Yue hugged Meng Xiuer's waist and she cried.

At this moment, her emotions were extremely complicated.

She is trying to reconcile with her past self.

Because, thinking about the suffering she had experienced in the past, she felt suffocated.

However, looking back at the reality, it is full of reluctance and helplessness.

Meng Xiu'er let An Yue hold her. She hugged An Yue with one hand and gently stroked An Yue's head with the other hand.

She didn't say anything, but just quietly accompanied An Yue.

——After a long time.

An Yue's mood eased a little.

Seeing that An Yue had gotten over the stress, Meng Xiuer raised her hand to help An Yue tidy up the hair stuck on her face and asked, "Do you feel better, Yueyue?"

An Yue cleared her throat, nodded, and tried her best to force a smile and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

At this moment, Meng Xiuer seemed to have a maternal glow. She held An Yue's face with both hands and smiled softly, "Hey! Girl, why are you still so polite to me!"

After saying that, Meng Xiuer couldn't help but sigh and continued, "Alas! It's a pity that I can't help you at all. In the future, this family will have two more mouths to feed, and Yueyue may have to worry more about everything."

An Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. With Yueyue here, we won't starve."

"Well, if grandma and the others make Yueyue feel uncomfortable in the future, you can tell me. Although I can't help Yueyue a lot, I hope I can share your worries."

"Yeah, okay." An Yue responded, then raised her hand and gently stroked Meng Xiu'er's belly twice.

She smiled and said, "In the future, my sister-in-law's belly will gradually grow bigger, and she will definitely have difficulty moving. It would be great if my aunt and the others could help share some of the chores at home."

Meng Xiuer smiled warmly, hugged An Yue into her arms, and said with emotion: "Xiaobao is blessed to have an aunt like you!"

The aunt and sister-in-law sat together and talked to each other, and An Yue's mood gradually improved.

......

At this time, it was almost the evening hour.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto the faces of the aunt and sister-in-law, as if adding a touch of light makeup to their delicate faces, making them look particularly beautiful and charming.

Meng Xiuer tied on an apron and said, "Yueyue, you rest in the room. I'll go wash some taro."

After saying that, Meng Xiuer walked out of the room and went to the cellar with a dustpan to pick up taro.

An Yue raised her hands and patted her face to cheer herself up.

She remembered the sketch she had drawn at noon, and she stood up and walked towards the cabinet.

I took a closer look at the sketch, but couldn't see any problems for the time being.

She took the sketch to the yard and said to the big ox Ale who was weaving a basket: "Uncle Ale, stop what you are doing first."

After hearing this, they quickly put down what they were holding, stood up and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?"

"I want to make a brick bed, but first we need to make adobe bricks. You guys finish your work today, and we'll start making adobe bricks tomorrow."

Daniu scratched his head and asked, "Miss, what is this earthen... earthen bed used for?"

"A kang is a bed built with adobe bricks. It is very warm in winter!" An Yue gave them a general explanation.

Seeing that they both still looked confused, An Yue walked up to them with the sketch.

He explained to them in detail: "The earthen kang is hollow underneath, and we use fire to keep warm. There is also a chimney, which is like a big stove, but the stove is for cooking, while our earthen kang is for heating."

Daniu asked anxiously, "What if it's too hot, won't it burn people...burn them to death?"

When An Yue heard what Daniu said, she couldn't help but covered her mouth, smiled and shook her head and said, "Of course it can't be burned all the time. When it gets a little warm, you have to put out the fire."

Ale stared at the sketch carefully and asked, "Miss, has this method of yours been accomplished before?"

An Yue nodded and said, "Of course. Don't worry! With this kang, no matter how cold it is in winter, you will feel comfortable just lying on it."

After listening to this, Daniu and Ale looked at each other and nodded to express their belief.

Ale asked, "Well, okay, whatever the lady wants to do, we will listen to her."

Daniu pointed at the sketch, scratched his head and asked, "Then...then how do we make a kang?"

An Yue smiled and asked, "Have you ever seen others make adobe bricks before?"

Daniu Aldu shook his head.

Yes, they used to be slaves in rich families, so naturally they had never seen it.

An Yue pointed to the kitchen and said, "It's very simple. Look! The adobe wall of our kitchen is built one by one with adobe bricks."

They listened very carefully, and in order to help them get started quickly, An Yue decided to give them a general explanation first.

An Yue patiently explained: "This adobe brick is made by cutting rice straw or wheat straw into small pieces and mixing them evenly with an appropriate amount of soil."

"After the grass and soil are mixed evenly, water is added to the soil and stirred thoroughly until it becomes viscous. Then it is made into blocks and dried in the sun for three to five days before the adobe is ready."

Ah Le smiled and scratched his head, saying, "Yeah, I roughly understand it. But I'll have to ask Miss to teach me in detail when the time comes."

"Okay, no problem! Just finish the work you have on hand. We'll start preparing the materials tomorrow."

"Okay, miss." Daniu responded readily.

After saying that, the two of them continued to work.

An Yue looked at their busy figures and thought to herself that if the earthen kang was successful, she would build another one.

In this way, in the winter months, men and women each have an earthen kang bed, and even if there are fewer cotton-padded jackets and quilts, the whole family will not suffer from the cold.

An Yue sat in a chair in the yard, watching the sunset slowly disappear into the mountains and forests.

......

The next day, early morning.

Ale and Daniu got up early to clean the yard.

After the family had breakfast, Chunzhi and her aunt went out to cut grass for the pigs, while Meng Xiuer and her grandmother washed the dishes at home.

Gu Mingchuan was in An Nian's room, teaching An Nian how to read and write.

An Yue looked at it and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
