Chapter 46 Provisional

After a while, a little boy in his teens, dressed in a heavy cotton jacket with patches and a dogskin felt hat, with dry and cracked skin, came to their house and asked them without recognizing it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Are you going to my uncle's house to buy firewood?"

Seeing this, Li Yunbao approached him with a smile, first grabbed a handful of candy for him to buy on the road to coax Brother An, and then took his hand and spoke: "Yes, are you taking us there, little friend?"

"What's a kid? You can call me a big tree, and everyone will call me that. The child responded with a heartfelt voice.

Li Yunbao didn't say much, delayed his efforts, still picked up the child and put on the cloak, and after everything was in order, he went out with Dashu to buy firewood.

After walking for almost a quarter of an hour, the group came to a small village, there was a small stream at the mouth of the village, and the stream was flowing and did not freeze, which made Li Yunbao very surprised and hurriedly showed Brother An in his arms.

Seeing Li Yunbao making such a fuss, Da Shu opened his mouth and said.

"What's so strange about this, this stream has been flowing down from our Donglong Mountain all year round without freezing, and we often go there in the summer at the foot of the mountain east of our pass." The little kid probably thought of the joy of playing by himself in the summer, and said with great yearning in his tone.

When they entered the village, the big tree led them to the third family at the east end of the village, and they walked in, and when they entered the courtyard house, a dark-skinned man in his thirties came out, and led several people into the house.

Shen Xingnan didn't hesitate when he entered the house, and immediately agreed with this man to buy a large cart of firewood for one hundred and twenty wen, which was enough for their family to burn for several months.

After agreeing, a few people went out of the house, Shen Xingnan saw that there was a mule cart in his yard, Shen Xingnan immediately asked the master's family to rent it and promised to give him twenty yuan as a thank you, and the other party agreed without saying a word.

Li Yunbao asked him suspiciously, "Anan, why are we renting this car?"

"Silly Bao, our things have been put away by you, this person hasn't seen us bring things, if you don't pretend to run this trip, then how should we explain when we use things?"

After listening to Shen Xingnan's words, Li Yunbao gave him a thumbs up, I can't see that this man is quite thoughtful, she originally wanted to pretend to run a few times to Renjiang Town from tomorrow onwards, and then slowly empty things upside down, and now he can save herself a lot of things.

"But what about the firewood when you take the cart away? If you can't get it today, you'll have to freeze at night?" Li Yunbao opened his mouth with some doubts.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll borrow an ox cart from the house next door so that I won't delay."

Wang Xiaoqi's wife and brother were walking over at this time, and they happened to hear Li Yunbao's words and hurriedly interjected, as if they were afraid that they would not use his mule cart to make him earn twenty yuan less.

That being the case, Shen Xingnan asked Li Yunbao to take the children and them to send the firewood back first, while he himself set up a mule cart and headed in the direction of Renjiang Town.

When he arrived in Renjiang Town, he bought a large iron pot, a large water tank, two kang tables, a few small Mazha and other miscellaneous things that could not be purchased in advance, and when he passed by a woodware store, he went to order two kang cabinets and a kitchen cabinet for them to deliver to his home tomorrow.

It was already dark, and the firewood had already been neatly stacked by the big tree and his uncle under the grass shed on the right side of the yard, Li Yunbao settled the account with him, and borrowed Wang Xiaoqi's wooden bucket and wooden basin to carry water and wipe the house inside and out.

Seeing that Shen Xingnan had not returned, Li Yunbao took out the red peat stove and silver frost charcoal that he had collected in the small kitchen of the mansion before and made a fire, took out a small pot and poured clean water on the square table in the middle room, took out some polished rice, washed it and boiled the porridge. At the same time, he also burned a large stove, and the pot on it was full of water and ready to be heated for a while to wash.

But the left and right waited and even the porridge was almost ready, and Shen Xingnan didn't return, so Li Yunbao left a little fire and warmed the porridge, and his son was ready to go to the intersection to greet Shen Xingnan.

Although it was dark, the snow all over the world reflected the snow light, Li Yunbao could still see the situation around her clearly, and after waiting for some time, she heard the sound of wheels and the clatter of mules walking in the distance.

Li Yunbao hugged his son and walked a few steps forward and hurriedly shouted: "Anan, is it you?"

She had never felt that time was so difficult before, it turned out that before she knew it, this man had become her dependence, a person she trusted, and a member of her family.

"Bao, why are you here so cold? How long have you been here and have you been freezing?"

Shen Xingnan approached and saw their mother and son standing in the cold wind, and he was a little angry, angry that she didn't cherish herself and her children.

Li Yunbao cowardly pleaded: "I only came out for a while, and I wrapped Brother An tightly and definitely couldn't freeze him, hehe, I'm not cold, I'm just a little worried about you."

Seeing his wife explain to himself, Shen Xingnan sighed but still instructed: "Don't do this in the future, otherwise I won't punish you."

Drove the donkey cart into the yard Li Yunbao hurriedly entered the house and lit the oil lamp first, which was newly bought in Tongshun, and when Shen Xingnan started to move things outside in the dark, she made a basin of hot water and prepared to wash him after Shen Xingnan finished moving things.

"I obviously have buckets and basins, but I still asked Wang Xiaoqi's family to borrow his family's envoy, hehe, I'm smart, right?" Li Yunbao boasted to Shen Xingnan.

"Well, my Po is the smartest." Shen Xingnan praised him very cooperatively.

"Today we will eat the rice porridge I boiled and serve it with big meat buns?" As he spoke, he took out ten large meat buns from the space.

This is still the one that Gu's mother ordered last time, because she made a mistake in estimating, she bought too much, but fortunately, the space can be kept fresh, otherwise it would have to be broken, and I also bought other food to eat on the road, so there are still a lot of left, and there are still hundreds of meat buns, she thought.

After the family of three finished eating, Li Yunbao first brushed the other iron pot and then put it on the stove, and also poured a full amount of water on both sides and boiled it at the same time, preparing a family of three to wash it well, so that the kang could also be heated by the way.

Shen Xingnan drove the car to Wang Xiaoqi's house, and Wang Xiaoqi's brother-in-law, whom they had already made an appointment, would come to pick up the car tomorrow.

I didn't tidy up much tonight, but I just put out all the things that I used now in the space, and when Shen Xingnan came back, he saw that his wife wanted to take a bath and hurriedly picked up a wooden bucket to fetch water until the newly bought tank was filled.

On the stove on the fire, a family of three took a hot shower, although it was still a little cold, but it was worth the fatigue and running along the way.

It is worth mentioning that when he was taking a bath, Li Yunbao also drove his father and son to the innermost room to stay, in order to prevent them from peeking and closed the door upside down, and when he took a bath, he still wanted to come out of the outermost kitchen next to the bathroom, anyway, the kitchen is not spacious.

After a lot of tidying up, the family of three finally fell asleep.

Before dawn on the second day, I heard the sound of drums, and the men around me got up lightly.
