Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 161 Unguessable

The two dead trees were successfully dragged back to the Wei family yard. As soon as Tao Qiuyi put down the dead trees, Li Zi came out to greet him.

"Sister-in-law, you're back." Li Zi first saw her sister-in-law, and then the two dead trees she brought back. She turned back to the house and came out with a knife for chopping wood, "Sister-in-law, you've worked hard."

"Go back inside and drink some water to warm yourself up. I'll chop these two dead trees into firewood."

"You come and chop wood." Tao Qiuyi's tone was a little unstable. He looked at Li Zi's still thin body, and then looked at the two dead trees he dragged back.

Li Zi was holding the handle of the axe with both hands, looking at the branches with difficulty.

With that little bit of strength, it will take forever to chop the wood!

"Yes, I'll chop them down." Li Zi's tone was full of excitement, and she even stopped and waved to Tao Qiuyi. "Sister-in-law, don't worry, go back to the house and drink some water. I'll chop these two dead trees into firewood soon."

Ambitious, Tao Qiuyi reached out and took the axe from Li Zi's hand, "Axe is not as sharp as an axe. Although these two dead trees are not big, you are too weak to chop them down."

When the axe was taken away, Li Zi looked reluctant and said weakly, "I can chop slowly."

"Okay, chopping wood is something adults do. Why would a child chop wood?" Hearing voices in the house, Tao Qiuyi asked Li Zi, "Are there any guests at home?"

Li Zi replied, "It's Uncle Chen and his son. They're bringing us the desk you ordered."

"How long have Uncle Chen and the others been here?" Tao Qiuyi asked again.

Li Zi thought for a moment before saying, "A little earlier than you, sister-in-law."

"Okay, got it." Tao Qiuyi changed the subject, "What are we having for lunch today?"

"We still have some braised pork trotters from last night, and I've already mixed the flour. I'll make noodles with the pork trotters and mix them together to make pork trotter noodles." Li Zi expressed her thoughts.

Then he asked Tao Qiuyi, "Sister-in-law, do you think it's good?"

"Okay, let's eat pig's trotter noodles." Tao Qiuyi made the final decision.

"Sister-in-law, please put the backpack down and I'll take it into the house." Li Zi walked around behind Tao Qiuyi, holding the backpack with both hands.

"Okay." Tao Qiuyi handed the backpack to her.

Li Zi saw the two pheasants in the basket and shouted excitedly, "Oh, sister-in-law, you are so amazing. You caught two more pheasants. That's amazing."

The elder sister-in-law is so powerful, she must follow her closely and never leave.

Tao Qiuyi poked Li Zi on the forehead with his finger and said, "You are useless! You are so happy that you are laughing like a chicken."

"I'm happy." Li Zi smiled so hard that her teeth were visible. Her sister-in-law was the best. She never came back empty-handed from the mountains. Pheasants were meat, too. Two pheasants at that.

"You're too happy too early. These two pheasants are not for us to eat. I have other uses for them." Tao Qiuyi poured cold water on her.

When Li Zi heard that it was not for her, she was not disappointed, but just responded to show that she knew.

"Are you disappointed that you can't eat pheasant?" Tao Qiuyi asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No," Li Zi retorted, "Ever since my sister-in-law and my brother got married, Xiao Huai, my brother, and I haven't been hungry since. We've eaten so much meat and other delicious food we've never had before."

“Even if I ate at a state-owned restaurant, I wouldn’t be disappointed unless I ate two pheasants.”

Tao Qiuyi never expected that Li Zi would remember these things so clearly. "Look at what you can do." Tao Qiuyi teased Li Zi with a smile, and seeing that her little face had grown some flesh, her smile became even brighter. "Be good, take the backpack to the kitchen and put it away. Come back and collect firewood."

"Okay." Li Zi carried the backpack to the kitchen.

Tao Qiuyi wielded her axe, and in less than ten minutes, she had chopped the two dead trees into firewood. Li Zi gathered the firewood and tied it together, making more than ten bundles from the two dead trees.

After moving the bundled firewood to the kitchen and piling them together, Tao Qiuyi and Li Zi washed their hands before returning to the house.

First, we went to Wei Jingyuan's room. A little over a meter away from the fireplace, we found a desk large enough for two people to sit on, and four stools.

"Sister-in-law, how did you come up with the idea of making such a long desk?" Li Zi asked curiously. She fell in love with the desk at the first sight.

Tao Qiuyi looked at Li Zi and said, "It's great that you and Xiao Huai study together and sit at the same table, just like you're deskmates. Most importantly, it's convenient for you to ask Xiao Huai if you encounter a word you don't know or a math problem you can't solve."

"Sister-in-law, you are so thoughtful. Thank you, thank you so much." Li Zi happily hugged Tao Qiuyi, feeling extremely happy.

Pulling the pear off himself, Tao Qiuyi said, "Alright, alright, has the wardrobe for our room also been delivered? Let's go and take a look."

After saying that, Tao Qiuyi walked towards the next room first.

She had previously ordered two desks and four stools from Uncle Chen. She quietly placed the first completed desk into her ring's space.

The wardrobe was ordered later, but it was delivered today. She only gave Uncle Chen a rough idea of the wardrobe's style, and she couldn't wait to see what it looked like.

In the next room, Wei Jingyuan and Xiao Huai were standing by the bed with a cane. When they saw Tao Qiuyi come in, the two brothers' eyes lit up.

"came back."

"Sister-in-law, you're back." The Wei Jingyuan brothers said in unison.

"Hmm." Tao Qiuyi replied softly and walked over to Wei Jingyuan. She lowered her eyes to glance at the cane he was leaning on, and raised her eyebrows.

Without asking anything, Tao Qiuyi looked towards the wall at the end of the bed. There was a double-door wardrobe there, and Uncle Chen and his son were leveling it.

Hearing the voice, the busy Uncle Chen and his son looked over here, and the father and son greeted Tao Qiuyi.

Tao Qiuyi responded with a smile and glanced at Xiao Huai and Li Zi. Xiao Huai and Li Zi were very tactful and went to study next door.

"How was the harvest today?" Wei Jingyuan chatted with Tao Qiuyi in a low voice.

"As long as I'm on the mountain, I'll reap what I sow. It's just the length of time I spend there that determines how much I reap." Glancing at Wei Jingyuan with a proud expression, Tao Qiuyi suddenly asked mysteriously, "Guess who I ran into on the mountain today?"

"I can't guess." Wei Jingyuan shook his head, not wanting to be embarrassed.

"You say you can't guess without even trying. You have no patience." Tao Qiuyi rolled his eyes at Wei Jingyuan.

At this time, Uncle Chen and his son finished their work and called Tao Qiuyi over to try opening and closing the door.

Tao Qiuyi walked over and tried to open and close the door, and it stopped smoothly.

Looking at the layout inside, I am satisfied, very satisfied.

Tao Qiuyi said, "Uncle Chen, Brother Chen, thank you for your hard work. The wardrobe is very well made and I am very satisfied. Please come to the next room and sit down for a while and have a cup of tea."

"No, you don't have to be so polite." Uncle Chen waved his hands repeatedly and said awkwardly, "Forget about the tea. It's embarrassing to say this. We are making furniture for you for money, not for free."
