Chapter 376 Everything goes smoothly
The next morning, two teams set out quietly from the village, one team heading west and the other heading east, each with their own mission objectives.
Life in the village returned to its usual rhythm. Ling Wuxin left Xiaoba to look after the baby and wait for his wife to wake up. He took the geomancy map and led his personal guards to visit Yang Shangshu, the Minister of Industry, who retired to his hometown and lived in seclusion in Jinsha Village, Xicheng, many years ago. Although a new emperor appoints new ministers, even if he is a retired Shangshu, he still has certain natural resources and human resources in his hands. Ling Wuxin kept in mind the mining resources proposed by his wife Yiyi. It is related to the great cause of strengthening the country and enriching the people. His previous idea was to take it step by step, but now it seems urgent. Since it can improve combat effectiveness and productivity, every step of delay is a loss. Ling Wuxin has already figured out the starting point from the perspective of ensuring that the people have enough food, and hopes that today's trip can successfully persuade the old Shangshu to help.
When Yiyi woke up, it was already noon. She stretched her arms out from under the quilt, then sat up and yawned. Then she looked around. This was Amuge's room. Coupled with the messy scene, the crazy scene of last night's lovemaking flashed through her mind. Yiyi couldn't help covering her face with shame and sobbing... It was all her fault. She was too indulgent to men. She must change in the future!
The giggling sound from the yard made Yiyi speed up the pace of cleaning up the scene. She changed all the sheets and quilt covers and put them in the wooden basin, washing and drying them later, and changing them when Amu Ge finished training and came home. After finishing all this, Yiyi looked down at her white bellyband with one of the straps broken, exhaled deeply, and thought it would be more appropriate to sneak back to her room through the back door to soak in the hot spring, take a bath and change clothes before going to see the baby. The dignity of an old mother needs to be maintained, alas...
Two quarters of an hour later, Yiyi finally appeared in the yard with a radiant face and a fresh outfit. Xinxin Niannian was very sharp-eyed, and the moment she saw their mother appear, she used her hands and feet to move her butt towards her.
"My baby! Slow down, mommy is here!" Yiyi hurriedly took a few steps to greet Xinxin Niannian. Xiaoba watched with a smile on his face as the three of them hugged each other tightly, kissing each other.
"Madam, you haven't eaten yet, I'll go to the kitchen and bring the meal to the dining room for you." Xiao Ba got up and went to the kitchen.
"Okay, thank you Brother Xu!" Yiyi nodded at him and smiled shyly. She felt a little embarrassed to trouble him to take care of her after getting up late.
Yiyi took Xinxin and Niannian to practice crawling on the mat in the yard. Just after they crawled around, Xiaoba came over and asked them to go back to the dining room for dinner.
"Eldest brother went out to visit guests, and seventh brother set out for West Camp early in the morning. Xiaojiu brought more than 30 tanned rabbit skins to Xinxin Niannian this morning, all of which were pure white. I will make fur coats and boots for Xinxin Niannian when I have time." Xiaoba held Xinxin Niannian in his arms and sat at the dining table while they ate and chatted with Yiyi.
"Oh, my husband will be home at night, right?" Yiyi paused for a moment and asked with concern.
"Yes, the village is organizing a hunting trip in two days. The climate change in Shu this year is normal, with good weather and good harvests. I estimate that this autumn hunting will yield a good harvest." Xiao Qi continued.
"Yeah, I feel good too. The climate is pleasant. If we can catch them alive, we can raise them in Xiaoyao Garden. Xiaoyao Garden is large, and now we have rabbits, cows, sheep, horses, and some deer, wild boars and so on. It's almost like a zoo! We don't want carnivores, they are too dangerous!" Yiyi and the other ten agreed. Life has been going smoothly this year, and there have been few natural disasters, which is very beneficial for the growth of animals in nature.
"Ah? Giggles... " When Xinxin Niannian heard what the zoo said, they both giggled, revealing their little teeth the size of rice grains on their lower gums.
"Hey, the tooth I've been longing for has finally come out. I felt it was hard before, and it seemed like it was about to break through the gums. Brother Xu, do you see that their first tooth has come out?" Yiyi was surprised to find that her babies had grown teeth. These two guys loved to kick their legs and play at a very young age. They started crawling after learning to sit at six months old, and now they are just seven months old and have grown teeth!
"Yes, the first one has grown out, and the second one next to it has also shown a tooth germ. It will probably come out soon. Hmm? Will it hurt when my wife is bitten while breastfeeding?" Xiao Ba asked with concern.
"They didn't bite me before, and I don't know if they will bite me in the future. They may want to bite me when their teeth itch. Let me think about making some teething biscuits for them. I will find time to discuss this with my sisters. By the way, you said before that rabbit fur can be used to make hats, gloves, boots and vests. Now is the period when they like to move around, so they don't need to wear too heavy clothes, just enough to keep warm." Yiyi suggested.
"Yes, yes, I'll listen to my wife!" Xiao Ba looked like he had no objection to his wife making the decision.
"Then let's see what winter items our family needs, and get them done during this slack season!" Yiyi was not surprised at Xiaoba's attitude. She and her three husbands seldom had disagreements, especially on such trivial matters in daily life. There was no need for any arguments. Of course, she seldom got involved in major events!
Compared to the many couples in the world who quarrel over trivial matters, there are also many men who are incompetent but bully at home. What's worse, some of them slam the table and yell at their wives and children when they are drunk, making people want to kill them.
Yiyi feels that her life is going smoothly and she is more satisfied than she expected!
