Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 334: Auntie Shows Good Will

An Yue had no intention of listening to her and went straight into the wooden basin on the bluestone slab to wash off the mud on her hands.

While washing my hands, I looked up inadvertently and saw my grandmother Zhou helping to pass firewood under the stove.

An Yue couldn't help but find it a little ridiculous. She had told the two of them yesterday to go back to their thatched huts early this morning, but not only did they not leave, they also started helping with the work.

After a while, my aunt came out with a basin of warm water and said, "Come on, wash with warm water."

After the aunt-in-law finished speaking, she placed the wooden basin on the bluestone slab, took out the handkerchief from her sleeve pocket, put it into the basin to wet it and wrung it dry, then raised her hand to wipe the mud off An Yue's hair.

An Yue dodged reflexively and took a step back unconsciously.

He said very uncomfortably: "No need to do that, I can clean it myself."

When Aunt Zhang saw that An Yue rejected her, she looked a little disappointed.

She held the handkerchief in the air, paused, and then slowly retracted her hand.

When An Yue saw her stop, she started to wash the mud off her face again.

Aunt Zhang turned around dejectedly and prepared to walk towards the kitchen, but An Yue suddenly stopped her and said, "I explained it very clearly to you yesterday, why aren't you leaving yet?"

After hearing what An Yue said, the aunt-in-law suddenly stopped walking and stood there without saying a word.

At this time, Gu Mingchuan put away the backpack and walked to An Yue with Ba Shi. Seeing that An Yue was still washing her hands, he squatted down and played with Ba Shi.

After An Yue had simply cleaned it, Gu Mingchuan stepped forward to clean it.

......

Soon, everyone gathered in the main hall and started sitting around to eat.

After lunch.

An Yue and Chun Zhi were cleaning up the dishes together. Chun Zhi took the chopsticks from An Yue's hand, smiled and said, "Miss, you should go back to your room and rest!"

I spent the whole morning wandering around the stream, and after lunch I felt really tired.

"Well, okay." After saying that, An Yue went back to her room.

Back in the room, An Yue took off her dirty clothes and lay down on the bed, fanning herself, feeling relaxed.

She turned over and saw her sister-in-law Meng Xiuer walk into the room.

Meng Xiuer untied the apron around her waist and asked casually, "Yueyue is still awake?"

"Not yet! Sister-in-law, please lie down quickly!" An Yue responded.

After Meng Xiuer took off her apron, An Yue looked at her slightly bulging belly and couldn't help but count the days in her mind.

An Yue suddenly asked: "Sister-in-law, when you are about to give birth, it will probably be winter, right?"

"Yes! Why did Yueyue suddenly ask this?"

"Hey, nothing much! I'm just wondering when I can meet Xiaobao again."

Meng Xiuer stroked her belly and said happily, "In the past! I heard from my mother that when a woman goes into labor, it's like a fruit. When it's ripe, she will naturally go into labor."

"Yeah, that's true." An Yue agreed casually, but in her heart she was thinking: [After a woman has been pregnant for ten months, it's time for the fruit to fall into the ground! ]

"Yueyue, I'll take a nap first, you should close your eyes and have a rest too!" After Meng Xiuer said that, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

An Yue couldn't sleep, thinking that her sister-in-law was already four months pregnant, and by the time she gave birth, it would be the coldest time of the year.

Now is the year of natural disasters, all the shops in the town are closed, and no one knows when they will reopen.

It's still summer now, and you can fan yourself when it's hot.

But in winter, except for the warm kitchen, everywhere else is freezing cold.

By then, if you can’t buy thick quilts and cotton clothes, you won’t be able to keep out the cold at all.

I can't help but miss the days in the 21st century when there was air conditioning and it was warm in winter and cool in summer.

But now, people die of heat when it is hot and freeze to death when it is cold.

For a moment, An Yue thought back to last year.

At that time, when she first came here, she opened her eyes to see that her parents had passed away, her grandparents had seized the family property, and had kicked her and her brother out of the house.

At that time, I didn’t know if it was because I was chilled in my heart or because the weather was cold, but anyway, that feeling of being cold from the top of my head to my toes was something I never wanted to experience again.

She turned over and continued fanning herself.

She looked at the bed frame against the wall, and suddenly remembered that in the 21st century, when winter came, the north was covered with ice and snow, but at that time, people's homes in the north were very warm.

In such cold weather, people in the north used to rely on burning earthen kangs to survive the winter.

An Yue suddenly recalled the time when she was watching short videos and saw people building earthen kangs.

She stopped fanning herself, sat up abruptly, and rolled her eyes around.

With a look of surprise, he whispered, "How about I also try to build a brick bed?"

She thought to herself that there was no cement here, so she could only use the most primitive method.

It is understood that the heat preservation properties of earthen kangs made of adobe are better than those made of bricks.

A few days ago, we experienced a storm that lasted for several days and nights.

The sky has been clear these days, and although the rain has fallen into the ground, the soil is still sticky.

The fields are not busy for the time being, and we happen to have some wheat straw at home, so we might as well take advantage of this free time to try making adobe bricks.

She took action as soon as she thought of it. She got out of bed quietly, put on her shoes, and went to the cabinet to get paper and pen.

She wanted to draw down the scenes of making a brick bed in her mind one by one.

If it is reasonable, I will let Danniu and Ale start working on it soon.

She sat on the small stool by the windowsill, painting seriously.

I saw her scratching her head, then holding her chin and staring out the window in a daze.

At this moment, the room was quiet, with only the sound of her pen stroking the paper.

She was immersed in her own world, as if isolated from the outside world.

——Four quarters of an hour later, the sketch of the earthen kang was completed.

She put away the sketch and placed it and the pen in the wooden cabinet.

She stretched lazily, and at this moment, a trace of sleepiness rose to her head, and she felt like she was yawning endlessly.

Then she tiptoed back into bed and began her nap.

The breeze blew gently, bringing a cool feeling and making her gradually fall asleep.

Unconsciously, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

An Yue has become accustomed to life here. This is a home that belongs entirely to her.

......

Time passed by breath by breath, and it was unknown how much time had passed before An Yue woke up.

She stretched, yawned, rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room, and saw Daniu and Ale were already weaving baskets in the yard.

Chunzhi was washing Anyue's coarse cloth clothes which were covered in mud in the morning.

An Yue walked out of the room. Chun Zhi saw her and said with a smile, "Miss, are you awake?"

An Yue narrowed her eyes and nodded at Chunzhi in response.

At this time, Gu Mingchuan and An Nian were discussing knowledge in the room. An Yue smiled warmly and went to the main hall.

She was about to go get some water when her aunt-in-law came running out of the kitchen in a panic.

"Not good, not good."

Meng Xiuer was doing needlework in the main hall. She asked:
