After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 256 Adding Glutinous Rice

Xia Wanniang walked over to her and took the broom from her hand: "Mom, let me do it. I've already watered the vegetables in the backyard."

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Aunt Xiao simply sat on a stool in the yard, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan.

When the children came out of the bath, she took a towel and wiped their hair.

Today, several children have started to doze off while sitting on the stools, their little heads nodding.

Seeing that their hair was dry, Xia Wanniang told them to go back to their rooms and sleep. They fell asleep as soon as they touched the pillow.

It seems that they are exhausted today.

Xiao Chiye saw her coming out: "Are you all asleep?"

Xia Wanniang sat next to him and asked, "Why are you suddenly asking them to exercise at night?"

Xiao Chiye: "Didn't you say you wanted to add more classes?"

Xia Wanniang was suddenly speechless and simply changed the subject: "Do you have enough materials?"

“It’s not very useful now, but I’ll need it more in the future.” Xiao Chiye thought for a while.

Xia Wanniang thought of something: "Does glutinous rice get added to the bricks here?"

Xiao Chiye was a little confused: "Add glutinous rice?"

Xia Wanniang nodded: "Adding glutinous rice paste to the aged lime paste can increase the bonding strength, surface hardness, toughness and impermeability of the mortar, and improve the firmness and durability of the masonry."

Xiao Chiye: "Can you do it?"

Xia Wanniang: "The other one is cement."

Xiao Chiye: "What is cement?"

Xia Wanniang: "A material for bricklaying, it is also very strong."

Xiao Chiye thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we prepare some of both materials tomorrow and I'll discuss it with Master Fang."

Xia Wanniang thought it was feasible, so she pulled Xiao Chiye out of the courtyard.

Aunt Xiao came out of the bathroom and saw the two people's backs. She just smiled and shook her head.

Xia Wanniang went to the place where the materials were piled, took out the cooked glutinous rice, and added it to the lime paste.

She also taught Xiao Chiye the mix ratio of cement, and he could tell Fangzhan directly tomorrow.

Xiao Chiye looked at the two bricks stuck together and said, "I'll show it to Master Fang tomorrow. I'm afraid it will be hard to smooth over the cement issue. To be on the safe side, I still recommend Nuomi."

Xia Wanniang thought about it and realized that many ancient buildings had stood for thousands of years. Adding glutinous rice would not necessarily be worse than cement: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xiao Chiye watched her put away the cement.

On the way, Xia Wanniang told him about their plan to go into the mountains tomorrow.

Xiao Chiye frowned slightly: "I'll go with you tomorrow."

"No need. There are a lot of things going on at home. It won't be dangerous for me to go up the mountain alone." Xia Wanniang still had some confidence in this.

Xiao Chiye: "Be careful tomorrow. I don't know where Lai Fu has gone."

Xia Wanniang nodded: "I know."

The next day.

Looking at the forest on the back mountain, it seems that some animals have returned here, and I can hear some insects and birds chirping.

Xia Wanniang walked towards the back mountain and first went to the cave they had been to before. It was the same here as before, except that there was a series of animal footprints at the entrance and inside the cave.

It seems that the animals in the mountains have returned.

She continued walking into the forest and first went to where the monkeys gathered, where the monkey wine was stored.

Before she got close, she felt something flying towards her from the tree.

She quickly dodged and saw a little monkey staring at her with wide eyes.

The man and the monkey just faced each other like this, neither of them moved.

Xia Wanniang felt something flying towards her from behind, so she squatted down to avoid a fruit core. She turned around and saw several monkeys jumping around in the tree, squeaking.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at the monkeys, not knowing whether they were the same monkey group that had left before.

Before she could figure out what was going on, the monkeys in the tree started attacking her again, picking wild fruits from the tree and throwing them at her.

Xia Wanniang reached out and grabbed a fruit that was flying towards her face. She took it in her hand and looked at it. She had no idea what kind of fruit it was, but it looked quite good.

She just threw it into the space.

The monkey in the tree squeaked angrily and picked fruits to hit her even faster.

Xia Wanniang dodged and shouted, "If you guys are hitting me, I will fight back."

The monkey in the tree didn't care about her and played even more happily.

A small figure ran towards her not far away: Go quickly, these monkeys are angry!
