The Spring of the Peasant Woman of Transmigration

Chapter 11

Lu Yumin didn't know when she came back to bed, until Niu Niu and Yaya woke her up, she woke up in a daze, opened her eyes and realized that it was daylight!
After dinner, when she took out the red bayberry to dry, the two children ran over smiling: "Auntie, let's do the drying too!"

The two of them were not as tall as the shelf, so Lu Yumin told Niu Niu: "Niu Niu, go to the kitchen and get some stools."

Niu Niu and Yaya stood on the high bench, using their small hands to push apart the piles of red bayberries, and they asked, "Auntie, when will we be able to eat the red bayberries?"

Lu Yumin said, "You just want to eat?"

Yaya said: "Well, I really want to eat."

Niu Niu said: "Delicious, I just want to eat!"

Yaya pouted and said, "Brother, it's not that I want to eat, but because my mouth wants to eat?"

Lu Yumin smiled and said: "Yes, yes, how can it be delicious? Who told you that this little mouth just wants to eat? After two days, the red bayberry will be dry, and then Auntie will steam it and put sugar on it." I'll eat it for you guys, for a while, Yaya and Niuniu, would you like to go to the vegetable garden with me? There are cucumbers to eat!"

Yaya was so happy that she almost jumped up, and Lu Yumin hurriedly said, "Yaya, be careful, if you fall, you won't have teeth to eat!"

After all, Niu Niu is more than a year older: "I know, I know, just like Grandpa Qing, he has lost all his teeth, and he can't eat anything delicious! Look at how steady I stand!"

Grandpa Qing is Li Zhengqing in this village, he is the older man in the Li family. Lu Yumin praised him: "Niu Niu is such a good brother! He will be a role model for my younger sister!"

Yaya became anxious: "Auntie, I'm standing still!"

Lu Yumin smiled and praised: "Well, Yaya is also a good and obedient boy! Okay, all of you come down, let's go to the vegetable garden!"

Niu Niu looked at the red bayberry on the mat and said, "This is only done with my help!"

Yaya rushed to say: "I also help dry it!"

Lu Yumin felt so happy when she was with the child: "You two are the best babies!"

I was a little tired after coming back from the vegetable garden. Lu Yumin cooked a green vegetable soup for the child, and made a rice ball with shredded cucumber and pickled vegetables for the morning meal.

After a nap, Lu Yumin felt breathless. It was hot and sunny outside, so she went to the utility room to continue weaving her straw sandals. As a shoe maker, she picked up the finished shoes and tried again and again. She felt that the straw sandals were a bit prickly!
Sitting on the shoe rack, she recalled the straw sandals she had seen a long time ago, got up and found a piece of rags, tore them into strips, added them to the straw and began to try weaving.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, where are you?" the elder sister-in-law Li Yuqin called from the yard.

"Here, the eldest sister is back?" Lu Yumin put down the straw sandals and stood up.

Li Yuqin went into the utility room: "I just came back. Is the third sister-in-law playing straw sandals? Hey, why do you use cloth for your straw sandals?"

Lu Yumin said: "I think the straw sandals made of bare straw are pricking my feet! I want to add some cloth to see if it will be better."

Li Yuqin gave a "poof" smile: "How can you have such tender feet!"

Lu Yumin blushed and said, "I haven't worn these straw sandals before, so I'm not used to them. I thought the children's feet are tender, so I wanted to change them to see if they would be more comfortable!"

Li Yuqin said approvingly, "Third sister-in-law is better at using her brain! People who can read are different. Mother always said that third brother married you, and I have to suffer. I don't think so!"

Lu Yumin didn't know how to respond, and Li Yuqin said again: "Sister-in-law, let me try it after you make it. If it's really easy to wear, I'll add some cotton cloth when I make it for Dad and Fifth Brother."

Lu Yumin teased her: "I'll make a few pairs for your husband next year, I'm sure he'll like it very much!"

Li Yuqin said embarrassingly: "Sister-in-law three made fun of me! The marriage has just been settled, what kind of husband and wife are you! Sister-in-law three, can you teach us to drown bayberry?"

Lu Yumin said: "How can this be wrong? Let's go. There are not many half-green bayberries on the mountain!"

Li Yuqin said as he walked, "My third sister and I went to the inner mountain to pick these. The ones in the front mountain are almost lost, and they have all been picked by others."

When I arrived at her mother-in-law's house, she saw that Mrs. Cui was cleaning up the sundries in the yard, and Lu Yumin called out, "Mom! You are busy!"

Cui said "Yes" with a blank face: "Big sister, just came back from the mountain, where did you die? You don't do business all day long, you want to live on grass!"

Li Yuqin wrinkled her nose and said, "Mom, we went to the mountain this morning after finishing our work! I didn't wander around here, I asked my third sister-in-law to come and teach me how to make bayberry."

Cui said coldly: "Can red bayberry fill my stomach? Can it pay money? I don't know how to do practical things all day long. What's the use of doing these vain things! I said it a long time ago, it's not real. Farmers, how can they live a life as a farmer!"

Lu Yumin stood in the yard, her face flushed red, saying nothing, and it was not easy to leave. Finally, Li Yuqin said: "Mother always talks nonsense! How can the third sister-in-law not live? You haven't been there yet." Look, the third brother's house is so clean and tidy, there is no family in our village that can compare!"

Cui looked at Lu Yumin in surprise: "Since you are married, you have to live a good life. If you help Sanlin a little more, it's not in vain for him to marry you!"

Lu Yumin brightly agreed: "Yes, mother-in-law is right, daughter-in-law will definitely listen to her mother-in-law in the future."

Li Yuqin dragged Lu Yumin and said, "Sister-in-law three, let's go to the backyard, my little sister may have already washed the red bayberries, let's go! Mom, let's go in!"

Cui Shi still gave a cold "hmm" and agreed!Li Yuqin whispered in Lu Yumin's ear: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid of your mother, she just loves to talk! In the past two years, she likes to teach people even more!"

Lu Yumin grinned: "I won't care anymore! It's normal for my mother to teach people a lesson at her age, and I won't take it to heart." She said inwardly: Your mother is so new!
Lu Yumin was making straw sandals. The shoes made with a cotton towel the day before yesterday were indeed more comfortable than those made of bare straw. She had already made a pair of Niu Niu and Yaya, and she got a whimsy and made a pair of straw slippers for each of them, and washed them in the evening The bath just dragged on.

"Auntie, auntie, it's raining! Our red bayberry is about to get wet!" Niu Niu ran in sweating profusely.

Lu Yumin hurriedly said: "Niu Niu, quickly bring the basket, Auntie goes to wrap up the mat first!"

The summer rain was so heavy that it was too late. The two of them had just harvested the red bayberry, when the big raindrops fell from the sky, covering both of their heads with water!
Lu Yumin didn't see Yaya: "Niu Niu, didn't you see my sister?"

Niu Niu said, "When I came back, they were still playing under the big tree."

Lu Yumin asked anxiously, "Where are you playing?"

Niu Niu said, "Under the big tree at the head of the village."

Lu Yumin became anxious: "Niu Niu, don't run around at home, Auntie, go and call Yaya back."

Niu Niu said: "Auntie, you don't have to go, you won't get wet under the big tree."

Lu Yumin said, "No, I'll be right back!"

Before Niu Niu could say anything, Lu Yumin ran out wearing cloth shoes. Sure enough, several children were hiding under the big tree from the rain. Called: "Auntie, come and hide from the rain!"

Lu Yumin took her away and said, "Honey, it's not raining under this big tree, let's go home quickly."

Yaya said: "Everyone is lying here in the rain!"

Lu Yumin said to the children in front of her: "Everyone dare to run home quickly. If Grandpa Lei gets angry here, he will break this tree!" Then he ran back with the children.

As soon as he entered the yard, he met Li Sanlin who was going out. He caught Yaya and said to Lu Yumin, "Will she come back when the rain stops? What are you doing to pick her up in the rain?"

Lu Yumin went into the kitchen, took a cotton towel and wiped Yaya with water before saying, "When there is thunder or lightning, you must remember that you can't stand under a big tree!"

Li Sanlin asked: "Why? It won't rain all at once under the big tree."

Why?Lu Yumin thought, I can't tell you that when it rains, protruding objects on the ground are prone to discharge and lightning strikes, so it is very dangerous under the tree.But facing the three puzzled faces, she said: "The big tree is big and it is easy to block the thunder and lightning, so it is easy to be struck by lightning. Something will happen under the tree."

Niu Niu said in fear: "If the big tree catches fire, people will be burned to death!"

Lu Yumin patted Niuniu's head and said, "Niuniu, don't be afraid. When it rains, it doesn't matter if you get wet. When you come back, Auntie will make ginger soup for you to drink, but remember not to stand under a big tree to hide from the rain!"

Li Sanlin brought her and Yaya's clothes from the room: "I'll change Yaya's clothes, you go and comb them."

Lu Yumin brought two pairs of new-style straw slippers from the utility room: "Niu Niu and Yaya first changed the straw sandals under their feet, and gave me the dirty ones."

Li Sanlin looked at the weird straw sandals and asked, "What kind of shoes are these?"

Lu Yumin smiled and said, "I made these for them to wear at night at home. It's easier to get up at night. I added a few tampons so that they don't prick their feet."

Li Sanlin asked again: "What about mine?"

Lu Yumin was taken aback: "Your? I haven't had time to fight yet."

Li Sanlin said unhappily: "Call me right then!"

Lu Yumin said "ah", and Li Sanlin said impatiently, "Ah, what? Why do you have children, but not me? Shouldn't I say that?"

Lu Yumin had never heard Li Sanlin speak in such a tone. She didn't know that this man was acting like a baby?Still stuck?

With an inexplicable mood, Lu Yumin looked at Li Sanlin with weird eyes, but he was expressionless, and no one could guess what he was thinking!Lu Yumin had no choice but to go to the bathroom by herself to change out of her wet clothes.

Li Sanlin knew that this woman was looking at him, but he couldn't figure out what he was feeling just now, anyway, he was upset that she didn't take him seriously!Brother Jin often said to him: Bedside godwife!This girl is always bad at learning, it seems that he has to teach her well!
