Listening to Li's tone, Bai Yunxi nodded appreciatively,
"What your second sister-in-law said is right. It's useless for you to go to them and argue with them. They don't have to admit it and accuse you of bullying others. What can you do to them?"
"As for the scoundrels, the more you confront them, the more likely you are to get what they want. They are worried that they won't have a chance to come over. Besides, they are walking in the woods opposite and have not come to our house. How can you argue with them?"
Xiao Wu took the handkerchief and wiped his hands while looking outside.
"We're not going out today anyway, so don't worry about it."
Bai Anyi looked at Xiao Wu, then looked outside, and retorted unconvinced, "If we don't go out today, what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? Can't we just keep it at home?"
"If we can't finish grinding the kudzu in the backyard today, we will have to waste another half day tomorrow. As long as we are not idle, they can keep an eye on them as much as they like. Tomorrow afternoon, we will go into the mountain through the back door to chop firewood with my second brother, and strive to
Prepare enough firewood for the winter in two days."
Xiao Wu said, a cold look flashed in his eyes,
"My mother and sister-in-law wander around the yard from time to time. They are willing to waste time. Can we stop them?"
Even a three-year-old child understands how important it is to prepare firewood before winter.
Bai Yunxi looked at Xiao Wu, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but curl her lips. This kid wanted to confuse him.
"Xiaowu wants to hide the truth from them?"
"Yes, if they really think they can take advantage by keeping an eye on our movements, then they are stupid."
Xiao Wu had a cold face and a look of disdain. Those people took the initiative to provoke them, so don't blame him for being naughty.
Everyone looked at Xiao Wu's indifferent eyes and looked at each other. Sure enough, you don't want to offend anyone who is a scholar. He is a bad guy.
After lunch, the family went to the backyard again and continued filtering kudzu powder. During this period, they took a walk in the front yard while drinking water and going to the hut, and then continued working in the backyard.
When the sun went down, there was still a small part of the kudzu left to finish. Just as Xiao Wu had estimated, he would have to work all morning tomorrow.
Baiyunxi looked at the two grates of kudzu powder that had been dried out, and there were still two tanks of kudzu water on the ground that needed to settle.
"Okay, it's been a tiring day today. Let's take a shower after dinner and go straight to rest. Tomorrow morning, we'll dig out the starch from the tank and dry it. The rest of the kudzu will be done in the morning."
Baiyunxi rubbed his waist and looked at the results of a day's work. He estimated that there were more than 20 kilograms of kudzu powder.
After a tiring day, everyone's physical strength was exhausted. After dinner, they went to rest.
The next day, they continued their work, crushing and filtering the remaining kudzu root, and taking out the precipitated kudzu root powder to dry.
After processing the kudzu, we started to cut firewood as planned and store firewood for the winter.
Just as Xiao Wu guessed, there were people pretending to be passing by their house all the time. When they saw someone in the yard, they kept leaving.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Baiyunxi sat under the eaves and used his own underwear to change Yaya into a small pajama, which was soft and comfortable to wear when sleeping.
After bowing his head for a long time, he got up and walked around the yard.
Baiyunxi looked through the fence and looked at the forest on the other side of the road. The fallen leaves in the poplar trees had long been swept away, and they were so bare that they could be seen as far as the eye could see.
Not to mention Tibetans, even a mouse passing by in this kind of forest can clearly see whether it has lost its hair.
