Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

105 The Head of the Family

She used her spiritual power to check the other shed and made sure that Li Xiao had returned. Only then did Lin Xiaoyue feel relieved.

She was glad that Li Xiao had built the shed and allowed them to move out of the house. Otherwise, they would not be able to sleep in this heavy rain.

Liu Shi also woke up.

She got out of bed and found some clothes to cover Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Xiaozhi to prevent them from catching a cold due to the rain and the drop in temperature.

!!

“It’s a good thing that Xiao’er set up the shed, otherwise we would be in trouble in this storm,” Liu Shi sighed.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and patted the bed, signaling her mother to come back and continue sleeping.

“The sun is not even out yet, so you can’t cook at this time. Come back and sleep for a while more.”

The stove was built in the open, so it couldn’t be used if the rain didn’t stop.

Fortunately, all the kitchenware had been kept in the shed last night, so she didn’t have to worry about getting wet.

“Yes.” Liu Shi responded.

She got on the bed and leaned against the head of the bed, next to Lin Xiaoyue.

Her sleepiness was gone, so she chatted with her daughter.

“It’s probably not easy to walk in such heavy rain. Are we still going to transport bricks today?” Liu Shi asked.

“Yes. We have to bring them back in advance so as not to affect the construction progress.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at Liu Shi. “Summer rain comes and goes quickly. When the sun comes out, the ground will soon dry up. It won’t be too bad.”

“Only the road out of the village might be muddy. Even if there was a storm on the main road, it would not affect us too much.”

Liu Shi nodded.

“Go to the town today and buy some cloth for me to make two bed sheets and two thin quilts.” Liu Shi looked at Lin Xiaoyue. “The weather looks hot, but it’s still a little cold when it rains at night. Qing’er is still sick after all.”

“Sure.”

It was rare for her mother to say she wanted to buy fabric.

In the shed next door, Li Xiao and Xiao Qing, who were lying on the straw, had also woken up.

Xiao Qing was sleeping beside Li Xiao, so he wasn’t cold. When he heard the voices from next door, his eyes moistened.

Li Xiao’s expression was normal, but his heart felt warm.

Aunt Liu really treated them as family.

The storm finally stopped after daybreak.

Lin Xiaoyue let Liu Shi rest and went out of the shed to start a fire to cook.

Li Xiao checked the condition of the shed and then went to the old house to look at the ox.

After he left Fourth Uncle Lin in the mountains last night, he felt that it was going to rain, so he moved the ox and the cart to the old house.

Therefore, it did not suffer much even though there were pools of water in the house.

When the ox was brought out, Li Xiao was still thinking that he had to build a shed for the ox.

Since she was in a hurry to go to town, Lin Xiaoyue only fried ten eggs and then cooked a pot of noodles.

Each of them had a bowl of noodles with two eggs and Lao Gan Ma seasoning. It was a satisfying meal.

After the meal, Liu Shi cleaned the table and washed the dishes.

Lin Xiaoyue brought her prey with her and rushed to town with Li Xiao on the ox-cart.

After the heavy rain, there was indeed mud on the road.

Fortunately, there weren’t many people leaving yet, so it wasn’t that difficult to pass through.

When they arrived at Qingshi Town, Li Xiao sent Lin Xiaoyue all the way to the back kitchen of Ruyi Restaurant. After he told her that he would pick her up on the last trip in the afternoon, he then went to the brick kiln in the west of the city to transport bricks.

Lin Xiaoyue entered Ruyi Restaurant and exchanged her prey for money.

After that, she greeted Liang Chengcai and went to the street.

She had an appointment with Liang Chengcai at 10 o’clock, so she had more than two hours to walk around town.

Lin Xiaoyue wanted to understand the town more, so she went to the dock this time.
