Seeing her eyes turn red, Lin Xushi knew what she was thinking about and patted her hand gently, comforting her, "It's okay, it'll be better after a while."
"Mmm." Mrs. Lin Wu nodded.
Li Guifen carried a wooden basin into the main room and saw her two daughters-in-law making clothes, "Stop that, it's freezing your hands."
Lin Xushi shook her head, smiling, "Warming by the fire, there's nothing much to do today, just the right time to make some clothes for Shengzi and the others."
"They've already got enough clothes, you should make some for yourselves." Li Guifen was always quite kind to her two daughters-in-law.
Then she continued, "Where did your father go?"
Just a moment ago, she saw him in the courtyard fiddling with his meal tools—a hoe.
Mrs. Lin Wu looked around, indeed not seeing her father-in-law's figure, "Didn't see him."
"Father-in-law said earlier he'd go drink with Grandpa Wang," Lin Xu said.
