Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

Snowy days are suitable for sleeping. Li Yunshan hasn't gotten out of bed since he fed the chickens and swept the snow in the morning.

Mao Xiaosui was taking off the patches on her clothes by the clay stove. When Heizi came in with a series of snowy footprints, she asked, "Last time you said you would use rabbit fur to make shoes. Do you need to treat the rabbit fur, or just make it directly?" ?”

"I'll take care of it this afternoon." Li Yunshan turned over to face her and asked, "Do you have a lot of cloth left? Next year, save the eggs and sell them to buy some cotton to make cotton-padded clothes for you and your children."

"I don't need it. When the time comes, I'll take apart your two old cotton-padded clothes and make a thin one for us two, and a new, thicker one for you."

"I'm not cold." Li Yunshan sat up and got out of bed and said, "I'll make them for you two. Grandma took away the old rabbit skins, and there are only four left at home. "I'll just make shoes for you and the children. My feet are hot, so I'll wear cotton shoes. That’s it. "

Mao Xiaosui stared at his strong physique and thought to himself, how would other people survive if you have a physique like yours and are afraid of the cold?

So he nodded, "I'm short of a thin cotton-padded coat. I can make one next year with some extra chicken feathers. Let's talk about it after the baby's... is born."

She asked tentatively, "Do you like boys or girls?"

Li Yunshan stared at her and kept smiling. Seeing that she was annoyed by the laughter, he said, "It's okay."

Mao Xiaosui rolled his eyes, "You're not honest at all. You just want a boy."

Li Yunshan did not deny that "Girls are pretty good too. After you get married, you must have a man who can support you, otherwise it will be difficult for you to live in your husband's family."

"The women who are married in the village are not supported by their brothers..."

"This is how parents don't love their daughters. If you want to give birth to a daughter in the future, then naturally we can't be like them. Naturally, we have to hold her in our hands and feel pain."

"Same as Ping An?"

"Yes." Li Yunshan laughed, "Just like the Ding family loves Ping An."

Mao Xiaosui was satisfied and said with a smile, "I want to eat white rice."

"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to make some fish soup later. Just cook your portion with white rice. I'll just stir-fry your portion later. I'll make rice with the fish soup."

Mao Xiaosui only had two or three bites to eat, so he said, "Then I'll just steam an egg."

"Anything is fine." Li Yunshan brought rice and eggs, steamed them, and then went to the yard to smash ice and kill fish.

When the pot comes to a boil and the rice milk overflows, cover the lid of the tandoor, place the pot on the lid and let it cook.

Before the meal was ready, she heard another quarrel in the village, and she went to listen to it while going to the hut.

What a heartless woman, you want it when you want it, but you don’t want it when you don’t want it, your father is partial...

Mao Xiaosui was afraid that Li Yunshan would say that she was having fun again, so she hurried back to the house. When she turned around, she saw Heizi behind her, listening with his ears pricked up.

After entering the house, Li Yunshan was already sitting in the room and asked, "Is this the Fourth Master's house again?"

"It seems it's still Li Zhuo's business. Neither the second uncle nor the third uncle want him."

Li Yunshan nodded, "It's not appropriate for Fourth Master to do this in the first place, but most of the old people in the village want to separate their families when they are about to die. If Third Uncle and the others don't want Li Zhuo, Fourth Master should split up two more families." Give them something."

"Where will we live if we are divided? There is no room to build in the village, right?"

"In other villages, the Lu family, the Chen family, the Yang family... you can build anywhere as long as you buy the land, and then the households will be divided there."

"Wouldn't that mean we are separated from the Li family?"

"It depends on the attitude of the people in their village. If they don't mind, they won't have to worry about it. If they do, they may have to move it."

"The Li family is only divided between us and the Li Yunqiang family."

He nodded, "Old people with a large family cannot live together even if they die. The family separation is inevitable. As for where to settle, the elders in the village may also discuss with each other."

"You still don't want everyone to disperse, right? It's like a small village relocation."

"With fewer people in the family, it's easy to get bullied, and it's the same in the village. It just depends on whether we can work together."

After a bowl of steamed rice, Mao Xiaosui only ate less than half of the bowl and a few bites of steamed eggs, and put the rest in the kitchen to heat it up and eat it in the evening.

After washing the pot and pouring the swill, they both blocked the door and planned to take a nap, but the noise in the village hadn't stopped yet.

Mao Xiaosui has been prone to sleepiness lately, and he doesn't know whether it's because of his pregnancy or because he's been in the house for too long.

I lay on the bed and listened to the gossip for a while, then fell asleep without realizing it.

In the afternoon, the snow continued to fall. Li Yunshan took out the rabbit skin, boiled a pot of boiling water, and mixed it with some cold water. When he felt that it was no longer hot, he put the rabbit skin in to soak, and then found a big stone to weigh it down. .

Add water to a small pot, throw in a handful of pitted soap nuts and cook.

Mao Xiaosui didn't know how to deal with this thing, so he saw him go to bed again after soaking, lie down for an hour and then get up again.

Place the rabbit skin on the snow and brush it with a shoe brush dipped in soapy water.

The rabbit skin that had been soaked in hot water smelled a little disgusting, and she vomited unconsciously.

Li Yunshan said, "Go inside and stop blowing."

Mao Xiaosui didn't move, covering his nose and watching him brush it over and over again. It was not completed until the layer of skin inside the rabbit skin was whitened and smooth to the touch.

Seeing that his hands were wet, Mao Xiaosui felt cold and reminded him, "Go inside and brush. I'll get a basin and throw up if I feel sick."

"It'll be fine in a moment." Li Yunshan urged again, "Go inside and don't keep blowing the wind."

She stood motionless until Li Yunshan looked up at her with a frown, and suddenly said forcefully, "Go inside."

She said "Oh" and left.

Take off your shoes, pull over the small bench and put your feet on it to bake.

Li Yunshan was busy outside for a long time before he came in. His hands were red with cold. He washed the treated rabbit skin twice with water before taking it in and putting it on a stool to bake.
