Chapter 181

The whole fish competition was less than an hour old, but it added a very happy time to the whole village.

After the game, the two big drums were withdrawn, and Ah Fu Aman also cheered, and the little face with a red flutter was returned by Qin Yong and Qin Xiao.

Before entering the pavilion, the two children waved their little hands and cheered at their mothers: "Mother, mother......"

Qiu Chen got up to meet him, Qin Xiao and Qin Yong put the two children off their shoulders, and Ah Fu Aman immediately screamed and threw himself into Qiu Chen's arms, chirping to tell his mother about the feeling of beating the drum, and watching the fish competition up close, rushing to share his feelings and happiness with his mother.

Qiu Chen squatted, hugged the two children, listened to them chirp for a while, hugged the two children and kissed each other, "Mother's filial piety and filial piety are all good!" ”

Affirmed by the mother's parents, the little faces of the two children bloomed with brilliant brilliance, their faces were flushed, their eyes were shining, their little bodies were full of joy and joy, and there was pride and pride that they tried to hide but still bubbled out.

Qiu Chen kissed the two children again, and smiled and seduced: "Mother's filial piety and filial piety play the drums well, and they are happy to see the fish, then, you can play the drums for the competition, who took you there?" Who taught you how to play the drums? What should filial piety and filial piety do? ”

Ah Fu Aman blinked his eyes and pursed his lips, Ah Fu looked at Ah Man, Ah Man said with a slight surprise: "It was Master Xiao and Master Yong who taught us to play the drum...... We should ......"

Aman didn't finish speaking, he reached out and took his brother's hand, and ran to Qin Xiao and Qin Yong outside the pavilion with a snap, respectfully bowed and blessed himself, and thanked the two masters. Qin Xiao and Qin Yong tied his hands a little stiffly, and without waiting for the two children to salute, he was about to help, Qiu Chen smiled beside him and said, "You two don't have to be polite, this is what their brother and sister should do." ”

As he spoke, Aman Aman had already saluted respectfully, and then Aman Aman smiled happily, pounced on Qin Xiao and Qin Yong, raised his little face, bent his eyes, and pulled the two new masters to ask, when will they teach them to play the drum again.

Qin Zheng pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, these two children really didn't suffer at all, and they really responded to the sentence 'whose child follows whom'.

There was a fish grabbing competition, the fish were grabbed in the village, and the people who didn't grab the fish gradually dispersed, Qin Li and Qin Yi took four guards, as well as four or five men such as Man Hoard, and continued to fish on the ice together. The fish caught this time should be kept by the Lin family for the New Year, and Yang Shumeng should bring some back to the Yang family for the New Year, and some should be sent to some old people in the village...... It's a little bit more numerous. A few young men took turns to go down the net, and they were busy until the end of the afternoon, and in the afternoon they changed places, made new ice caves, and caught them for another hour, and then they gave up and filled both ice caves again.

The fish was not collected for the time being, and was thrown directly on the ice. The wet fish struggled on the ice for a while, and soon it would freeze, and then it would directly become a frozen fish wrapped in a thin layer of ice.

After catching the fish, Qiu Chen arranged for Lin Xu and Ah Fu to take Daxing to give New Year's gifts to Cun Zheng and a dozen or so village elders over sixty years old, a family of two big fish, five catties of meat, two catties of snacks, twenty catties of white flour, and a zhang of black three-shuttle cloth.

Junwen Junshu took Shunzi and Qingjiang respectively, and went to the third grandmother's house and other people who had close contacts to give New Year's gifts, and the gifts were the same as those of the village elders, with an additional twenty catties of white rice and two catties of sugar.

Junyan Junzhang was a little too strong in the morning and morning, and he was still excited when he had lunch, but it didn't take long for him to fall asleep on Qiu Chen's kang. Chengzi also participated in the fish competition in the morning, and Qiu Chen also drove him back to his room to rest.

Qiu Chen himself took Aman, Qingxing and Yufeng followed, and sent ten big fish to Lan Ying's family and five fish to Erkui's family. also sent twenty catties of japonica rice to Erkui's family. Little October has been more than two months, twice as heavy as when she was born, no longer red and wrinkled, her little face is fat, bulging, moisturizing, and her energy is much better than when she was born, no longer falling asleep all day and night, the time between sleeps is getting longer and longer, the range of hands and feet is getting bigger and bigger, and sometimes she makes an ah-ah-ah-yaa-yaa-yah, expressing the meaning that only she understands.

Aman is very fond of this younger sister than himself, every time he comes to Erkui's house, he will always lie on the kang, guard Xiao October and study it carefully, sometimes he can't help but poke Xiao October's hands and feet, touch Xiao October's face, and even mumble something to Xiao October, which is mysterious and mysterious, which makes Qiu Chen funny. She doesn't care, she just aims at Aman, and doesn't hurt Little October.

Erkui's family has fully recovered, a little thinner than when he was pregnant, but his complexion is better.

Qiu Chen arrived at Lan Ying's house first, and then came to Erkui's house together. Lingzhi and Plug followed Aman and muttered quietly around Xiao October, Qiu Chen, Lan Ying, and Erkui's family sat on the kang, surrounded by a small basket, which contained peanuts and pecans fried by Erkui's family, and talked.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, I'm fat again in October, and I'm getting better and better, look at this dark eye, it's really godly!" Qiu Chen sat behind Aman, always paying attention to the small movements of Aman and the plugs, lingzhi, and stones, while paying attention to every movement of Xiao October, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Erkui's family smiled: "This girl is blessed, with the delicious food you send from time to time, my milk is more than the first two boys, the little girl is full, and naturally grows faster." ”

Lan Ying also helped beside her: "It's not just about eating well, now Erkui works hard and earns a lot of monthly money, so you don't have to go to the field to suffer, just take care of the children...... This child is just like a crop, he has no intentions, he can't fake it at all, look at how clean this girl is, and how sensible she is, usually the children in our family are thrown on the kang, and they can't take care of it for a long time...... When I'm sick, I can't afford to ask Lang Zhong to take medicine, and some children don't just look like that...... Come to think of it, it was a ...... day."

As they spoke, Lan Ying and Er Kui's emotions were touched by the memories of the past, and they couldn't help but feel low and sad.

The Erkui family also sighed and said: "Yes, the two of us are okay, we haven't rubbed that heart, Qinghe's sister-in-law has injured two, and the other women, who hasn't hurt the child...... I can't pull any work on my body, so I still have to go uphill and down to the fields, and I have to cook, feed pigs and chickens...... A lot of kids were hurt like that......"

Speaking of this, the Erkui family looked happy, touched Xiao October's little feet with palpitations, and sighed: "If it weren't for the begonias, maybe there would be one......

Seeing that the more the two of them talked, the more sad they became, Qiu Chen hurriedly smiled and changed the topic: "You two are really, those are over, what are you still thinking, let's think about how to live a good life in the future, let's buy silver hairpins this year, we should be thinking about what kind of gold jewelry to pick next year...... Gold hairpins, gold earrings, gold bracelets...... By the year after tomorrow, maybe we'll be able to wear a full set of gold-headed noodles......"

When Qiu Chen said this, Lan Ying and Erkui's family laughed, this year, both of them got silver hairpins, and they had such a rich fish, meat, white rice and white noodles, and such a sumptuous New Year's goods, which they couldn't have imagined and didn't dare to think of a year ago.

Lan Ying said with a smile: "Well, I'm my age, and I don't know how to arch my fingers in the golden head or anything, so I thought about it, in the next year, we will turn over the house and build a backyard, Zhi'er, Xiang'er and the bolt are bigger, and they can also have their own houses to live in, and then I will start saving money, Zhi'er will be ten years old after the New Year, and it is time to save her dowry, and the rest is good to say, the wood for the family has to be saved early, otherwise when the time comes, I will buy so much wood at once, and sometimes I haven't changed it!" ”

The ten-year-old girl began to save for the dowry, Qiu Chen felt a little funny, and was about to say something, but the Erkui family had already nodded in agreement: "Well, ten years old is not young." Leave it in a good family, and the girls will start to save dowries in the next life, and the things that others save are more difficult to get, so they naturally have to lay out early...... Although we have a better life like this, after all, it is not like those people, when the time comes, we will make a good house, and then we will be able to accompany and send more pressure to the bottom of the box. ”

Qiu Chen's eyebrows slowly raised, and then gradually fell. Lan Ying and Erkui's words really reminded her that her little Aman would be two years old after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, shouldn't she also be planning to save a dowry for Aman?

In addition, more importantly, it is necessary to buy some dowries to ensure the quality of life...... And in this era, the most worry-free and the most valuable one is nothing better than good land. Buying more than 2,000 acres of fertile land, only collecting rent every year can ensure a leisurely and wealthy life. In addition, Qiu Chen had an idea for a long time, that is, to buy barren mountains and plant economic trees and medicinal materials, the price of barren mountains is much cheaper than that of fertile land, but after planning and serving, the income of barren mountains is no worse than that of fertile land.

Barren mountains are easy to do, and now there are very few people who consciously buy barren mountains, and it is not difficult to buy. However, the large area of fertile land and the abundant Zhuangzi are very sought-after and absolutely unavoidable...... Well, when I think about it, this dowry really can't be purchased under the eyes, and it's really - saving a dowry!

As the Chinese New Year approached, everyone was very busy, and after talking for a while, Qiu Chen and Lan Ying took their children to say goodbye and go home.

When they got home, before Lin Xu and the others came back, Qiu Chen took Aman, mother and daughter together, and began to prepare the items that the second brother Yang Shumeng would bring home.

Last time, Yang Shuyong went home and had already brought back the cloth and silver that he had prepared to bring home, and this time it was a supplement to the last time. Fish are indispensable, and Qiu Chen prepared a basket full of big fish. In addition to the meat, rice and noodles from the last time, Qiu Chen packed up ten catties of white sugar, ten catties of brown sugar, two catties of good tea leaves and five catties of large-leaf tea......

The mother and daughter were packing up, Qin Li and Qin Yong passed the word from the second gate, and Qiu Chen hurriedly led Ah Man to greet him.

Qin Li is one of the eight people who loves to laugh and talk, as soon as he saw Qiu Chen's mother and daughter come out, he smiled and bowed, holding a gold-sprinkled list with both hands.

Qiu Chen took the order ignorantly, and then listened to Qin Lidao: "Madam, our master said, this is the New Year, this is a little bit of our heart, and please don't dislike the rudeness!" ”

Saying that, Qin Li waved his hand, Qin Yi and Qin Xiao nodded behind him, and carried more than ten large wooden boxes with four guards to rush in, and before Qiu Chen could react, Qin Li smiled and said: "Madam, our master said, it will be a good weather tomorrow, so I will take someone up the mountain, and let the little one tell Madame that Madame and Xiaoyu Xiaojie can also go together, with us taking care of it, Madame don't have to worry!" ”

As soon as he mentioned going up the mountain to hunt, Qiu Chen really showed a touch of excitement.

And what made her excited was that she had thought that Afu Aman could follow, but she never dared to think that she could follow herself...... Since she came to this world, when she went to northern Xinjiang in men's clothes, it was rare to have a few days of freedom, but whether she was at home or out on weekdays, she could only restrain herself, suppress her temperament, and try not to be too out of line...... This kind of life is used to women in this era, but only she knows how aggrieved and depressed she is.

If you can go up to the mountains to hunt, get away from this closed-minded society for a short time, avoid the eyes of so many bright and dark places, wander in the mountains and forests, and breathe the quiet and free air, how desirable it would be.

The bright light that suddenly burst out in Qiu Chen's eyes made Qin Li secretly happy in his heart, and secretly praised his Hou Ye for being really powerful, and he could always grasp it so accurately, as long as Lin Niangzi likes to go up the mountain and like hunting, the biggest purpose of hunting this time has been achieved, and it doesn't matter if it's big or not. Moreover, they believe that as long as there is prey on the mountain, they will not return empty-handed.

After hearing Qin Li's invitation, in a short period of time, Qiu Chen went through the things he needed to do, the New Year's gifts in the county and towns, and even the prefecture were all gone, and the gifts prepared for the children and the elderly in the village were also sent, and the New Year's goods at home were already very rich...... It seems that she did not find any reason why she had to stay at home and not go hunting.

After going through it and confirming it, Qiu Chen quickly made a decision that followed his heart, followed and went hunting!

"Okay, I'll prepare, and I'll take Afu Aman with me tomorrow! However, if we keep up, I'm afraid it will make you suffer a lot! Letting go of all kinds of scruples, Qiu Chen's smile bloomed, and the brightness made Qin Li feel slightly dazzling, his heart jumped, and he quickly turned his gaze away.

As soon as he heard Qiu Chen agree, Qin Li said with a happy face: "Madame can go, it's too late for us to be happy, I've heard a long time ago, Madame's barbecue is a must, I cheekily ask Madame to wear the barbecue seasoning, and tomorrow I will use the things I hunted on the mountain to roast back the meat for our brothers to satisfy their hunger!" ”

I have to say that Qin Li is really good at talking, and when he said this, he completely lost the feeling that Qiu Chen's mother and son were dragging down the hunting, but they asked Qiu Chen for something.

Qiu Chen was quite rational and clear, so he could naturally hear that Qin Li was a kind remark, and he said it in order to dispel her concerns, and he couldn't help but secretly praise Qin Li for being really sociable and good at talking. I understood it in my heart, but Qiu Chen was still inevitably in a good mood, and promised again and again: "Don't worry, Ming'er will definitely let you eat the most delicious barbecue!" ”

Qin Li and Qin Yong bowed down at the same time and thanked him: "We have to go back quickly and say it, our brother is really blessed this time." Madam, I'll leave first, if there's anything we need to do, just go over and give me an order. ”

"Good!" Qiu Chen readily agreed, only then did he suddenly remember the big boxes just now, choked up, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for me, let him break the bank." ”

"Madame is gracious. Madame's words, we will definitely bring it, and leave! Qin Li and Qin Yong hurriedly agreed, and once again said goodbye, and then turned back to the front yard with a few guards.

Seeing off Qin Yong and Qin Li, Qiu Chen didn't have the heart to look at the gift sent by Qin Zheng, so he pulled Ah Man, who was still a little ignorant, and began to prepare for tomorrow's mountain hunting.

Since you have to go up the mountain, you need to be warm and convenient in your clothing.

Qiu Chen has two sets of men's clothing in the summer, but not in the winter. However, fortunately, her cotton pants are all improved, not the kind of bulky crotchless pants, the fit is neat, the trousers are also closed, or the inner tank is added, just like the down pants worn outside the modern outside, taking into account the beauty and warmth. All you need to do is put on tall moccasin boots. Wear a well-fitting cotton jacket on the upper body, and then wear a pearl skin gown, the gown is cinched at the waist, the hem Qiu Chen's nursery rhyme has been improved, for the convenience of movement, both sides have been slit, this set is matched, and then wrapped in a fur cloak, it is more similar to a set of riding clothes. It's just that her cotton pants are all light colors, tooth white, sunny weather, and other colors, and when she comes back from a trip up the mountain, it is estimated that a pair of pants will not be washed again.

The clothes he used were cleaned up with leather, and Qiu Chen packed up the clothes and pants for Afu Aman, and then he felt confident in his heart.

Turning his head and looking at the dozen or so large boxes in the hall, Qiu Chen frowned slightly. What does this do? Use these things to repay her for healing?

Forget it, Qiu Chen shook his head and shook off the slight discomfort in his heart, took out the red and gold gift list, and began to sort out the things in the box.

Qiu Chen has been here for nearly a year, and he still doesn't understand the gift list here.

'Ruyao Tianqing Tingquan Cup set', four cups can be called a set, six can also be a set, he is marked with a set here, how many are there?

'Old kiln sunflower pattern blue glaze plate two' which kiln is the old kiln? How much is it worth?

In addition, what is the beauty of the dendrobium, what is the garlic bottle, what is the narrow-shouldered plum bottle...... Qiu Chen didn't know what to do, so she had to let Yufeng and Qingxing take the gift list and take out the things one by one to check, and she could also quietly learn from the real thing.

Qin Zheng sent two large boxes of all kinds of fine porcelain, two large boxes of various sizes of furs, two large boxes of all kinds of exquisite silk and satin clothing, a box of books, a box of study, and a box of some kinds of toys, and another box of various kinds of toys, and another box of various colored toys, this box is more miscellaneous, such as two boxes of folding fans, two boxes of pattern yarn palace fans, two boxes of yarn palace flowers, a box of all kinds of jade pendants, a box of all kinds of beads, and a delicate five-layer mahogany carved box, inside a layer of unstrung pearls, a layer of uninlaid rubies, The other three layers are three sets of heads inlaid with good heads, one set of ruby, one set of fat jade, and one set of golden beeswax.

These things, every time they opened a box, Qingxing and Yufeng let out a slight exclamation, Qiu Chen looked at them one by one, and the others were okay, and the most obvious set of chanterelle yellow beeswax jewelry she saw later, which made her like it.

Compared with the coldness of gemstones, compared to the brilliance of diamonds, Qiu Chen prefers jade and jadeite, but unfortunately in this era, jadeite is far from being accepted by the Central Plains people, since she came here, she has not seen many jadeite jewelry. Compared with jade, the warmth and delicacy of beeswax also makes her like it.

In particular, this very high-quality beeswax, the texture is oily and delicate, slightly transparent to light, without the slightest impurity, the color is very rich chanterelle yellow, and the color is also very full and rich, much better than all the collectible beeswax she has seen in modern jewelry stores, and it is rare that there is no difference in the color of the whole set of beeswax jewelry, and the carving is also very delicate and delicate, hairpins, earrings, pendants, bracelets, are carved with hibiscus flowers, beautiful, ingenious.

Qiu Chen took the box, waved his hand, and asked Yufeng and Qingxing to put a dry gift into the warehouse and the kang cabinet respectively, and went back to his room alone with a box of beeswax jewelry.

In front of the mirror, I took the beeswax hairpin and put it in the bun, the delicate and bright yellow, against the towering green silk, seemed to bring the whole person brighter at once, and the hibiscus next to each other, a petal seemed to be about to bloom in the hair......

"Oh, Madame looks so good wearing this hairpin!" Yufeng held all kinds of jewelry and put them in the kang cabinet, and when she turned around and saw the beeswax hibiscus hairpin in Qiu Chen's hair, even if she was as calm as her, she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Qiu Chen looked at himself in the mirror with crooked eyes, reached out and took off the beeswax hibiscus hairpin in his hair, still put it in the box, and handed it to Yufeng: "Put it up!" ”

Yufeng was slightly stunned, and when she thought about her daily dress, she was a little clear, and she took it and put it into the kang cabinet as she said, but she couldn't help but say: "Madam, the fat jade head just now is not bad!" ”

Qiu Chen shook his head: "If you wear such a good thing, if you lose it, or if you fall and fall, it will be too distressing, so let's put it up!" ”

"Madame is really ......" Yufeng wanted to persuade again, but she paused, swallowed back the words behind her, and said with a smile while locking the kang cabinet, "Such a good thing looks better with light summer clothes!" ”

According to the date of Lin Sheng's initial death, it was February and a half in the early spring of the nineteenth year of Invesco, and it was two years after this Spring Festival.

June is not the season to wear light summer clothes! Yufeng's mind is really fast!

Qiu Chen shook his head with a dark smile, got up and walked on the edge of the kang, looking at Ah Man, who was playing with a pair of Qingyu Nine Chains, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly called Yufeng: "You go and see and help Qingxing receive all the things in the warehouse." Just now I remember that there were two snow rabbit skins and two suede skins in the fur, and you can bring them back! ”

Yufeng was handing over the key to the kang cabinet, and when she heard Qiu Chen's words, she hurriedly agreed.

The ten big boxes outside, Qingxing had already called half of Qingjiang's family and Shunzi's family to go to the warehouse, Yufeng rushed out, saw that the fur box was still there, exhaled softly, and hurriedly opened the box and took out a few skins that Qiu Chen wanted, and let Qingxing send them into the house, and then separated from Qingxing in two places, stared at the box into the warehouse, settled down, and then locked the warehouse and turned back.

Since coming to the Lin family, Yufeng and Qingxing are not tired of their work, and their free time is mostly used to do needlework. On the other hand, Yufeng's needlework is already very decent, and it is no worse than the Qingjiang family, but Qingxing's personality is lively and can't sit still, but she is ingenious, and she has learned to play a good hand.

The two girls turned back, Qiu Chen took two kinds of skins, discussed with the two girls, made a scarf for himself with snow rabbit skin, and then sewed a few pairs of gloves with suede to come out, and they will wear them on the mountain tomorrow, and it is cheap to ride a horse and walk.

These two things are not difficult to do, although Qiu Chen can't do it, but he said it very clearly, Yufeng listened, and handed over the work of the neck to Qingxing, this is simple and easy to do, and it is covered by fur, and the stitches are slightly thicker and not obvious. It was gloves, and she hurriedly called Qingjiang's family to come over and cut and sew with her. Don't look at the gloves are not big, they are extremely noticeable on the hands, and the hands are also heavy, and the lady said again, to make a few more pairs, and to send them to the front, in case there are any stitches that are not fine, or they will break after wearing it for a while, and it will be a big deal to lose face to Mrs.

While a few people were talking, Junyan Junzhang, who had slept all afternoon, finally woke up, the two boys got up, went to the clean room, and when they came back, they were immediately attracted by a bunch of toys sent by Qin Zheng. Not long after, Lin Xu, Junwen Junshu and others also came back one after another.

Qiu Chen beckoned the family to wash up and eat.

After dinner, Qiu Chen listened to Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu talk about going to various families to give gifts, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Then, Qiu Chen drove Brother Junwen and Junshu back to the room to pack up their clothes and rest early. Ming'er, they have to get up early and rush back to Yang's shop! Chengzi also said goodbye and went back to his room with a smile.

After the four Junwen Junshu brothers and Chengzi left, Qiu Chen said something to Yang Shumeng again, explained the things she had prepared to the second brother, and then took out a purse from the kang cabinet and handed it to Yang Shumeng: "Second brother, this is your salary for the past few months." ”

Yang Shumeng didn't shirk it, and took it with a smile and put it in his arms.

Qiu Chen said again: "Second brother, I want to discuss with you, in the next year, we will go to Fucheng to build a workshop, and at that time, the two of us will inevitably be separated, and one person will be in charge of the other." I want to ask you what you mean, would you like to come back here, or would you like to be over there? ”

Yang Shumeng seemed to have thought about this problem for a long time, and said almost without hesitation: "Sister, you don't have to think much about this, second brother, it's okay for me to follow you now, it's not okay to be in charge alone, don't say anything else, you can't write and calculate, and you are also worried about the dealings with those big government households, I'm still here, I'm familiar, and I can take care of the affairs of the family." ”

"Well, I got it." When Qiu Chen heard him say this, he didn't say more, and changed the topic, "After the New Year, you don't have to rush back, accompany our father and mother more at home, after the Lantern Festival, follow our eldest brother to pave the Nanmar Lake, please ask the foreman to handle the formula, and come over after the material is set...... Oh, I'll go back to see our father and mother after the New Year, and then we can discuss it later. It's not early, tomorrow has to rush for a day, second brother, you should rest early! ”

Yang Shumeng promised to go out, Qiu Chen got up to send him out, and when he lifted the curtain and went out of the room, he smiled and said to Yang Shu: "Today, General Qin has sent a message to explain that he will go up the mountain to hunt...... Hehe, Ming'er is twenty-two, and the day after tomorrow is young, you can't delay any longer, I didn't keep Junwen a few words. You know the way, so you don't need to tell them! ”

Yang Shumeng also looked regretful when he heard it: "Well, I know what I said." ”

Sending Yang Shumeng away, Qiu Chen turned back and told Lin Xu about the hunting again, looking at Lin Xu with excitement on his face. Qiu Chen instructed Lin Xu a few more words, and then he also went to rest early.

When Qiu Chen turned back, Qingxing had already sewn the snow rabbit scarf, Qiu Chen put it on and tried it, the soft rabbit skin was wrapped around the neck, covering the collar and protecting a small half of the cheeks, and then wrapped in a cloak and put on a hood, so he was not afraid of the howling mountain wind and the cold invading his body.

Yufeng and Qingjiang's family also made peerless gloves and took one of the smaller ones to Qiu Chen to try on. The suede is soft and delicate, and the suede sent by Qin Zheng is not hair-removed, Yufeng and Qingjiang's family turned the fur according to Qiu Chen's instructions, the fur is turned out, the hair is facing the inside and the skin is outside, and it is worn on the hand, the fur is soft and warm on one side, but the appearance is elastic, and the fingers are flexible.

Yufeng and the Qingjiang family also breathed a sigh of relief, and happily continued to make the remaining gloves, while Qingxing waited for Qiu Chen and Afu Aman to wash, and then went to sleep on the kang early.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Lin Xu still came over and called, Qiu Chen took Ah Fu Aman to get up, washed Ah Fu Aman, and sent the two small ones to the usual morning exercises, and she cleaned herself up again.

Yufeng came over with ten pairs of suede gloves, Qiu Chen took them in his hand and looked at them, they were all large, and the workmanship was equally fine, and the stitches were so fine that they were almost invisible. Looking up, I saw that Yufeng's face was slightly haggard, and there was some red in his eyes, so he couldn't help but say, "Stayed up late last night?" I also forgot to tell you, even if you can't finish it, we still have some woven cotton gloves at home, which can also be used. ”

Yufeng shook her head and smiled: "It's not too late, where can I afford to say that from Madame...... Besides, after a while, the lady and the young master will go out, and there will be nothing at home, and the slave and maid can be lazy to make up for sleep. ”

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded: "That's exactly how it should be." Later, I will tell Shunzi and Qingjiang to take care of the door, and you and Qingxing will take care of the house in the backyard and sleep well. ”

Yufeng's eyes were red, she bent her knees and thanked her, and said with a smile: "Madam, I thought that my uncle was in a hurry today, so I made an extra pair, you don't blame the slave and maid for being the master of their own affairs." ”

"It's all you want, how can I blame you." Qiu Chen picked up the cloak and put it on his body, took the gloves and walked out, while instructing Yufeng Qingxing, who came up, "Let Qingxing follow, Yufeng go back and take a look, prepare some preserved fruit snacks and put them in the backpack, and then go to the warehouse to get two jars of steamed wine, put them in the copper wine jug, and I will take them with me later." ”

Yufeng bent her knees and went to prepare according to Qiu Chen's instructions.

Qingxing took the gloves in Qiu Chen's hand and followed Qiu Chen to the front yard.

At the gate, Yang Shumeng had already set up a van car, and Daxing was taking Qingjiang and Shunzi to load the items that Qiu Chen had sorted out yesterday into the car.

Qiu Chen came over and took a look, after the carriage was loaded with fish baskets and other things, there was not much open space, and because of the fish baskets and the like, it was not easy to order charcoal pots, and it was really enough to freeze home on the way. Frowning and thinking for a while, Qiu Chen said to Yang Shu: "Second brother, let's set up another car, load these things into another car, and add a smoke cage to this carriage, and the children will be frozen." ”

Yang Shu straightened his bridle violently, and said with a smile: "What kind of car is it, this fish or something is put on the wheel, or it will be loaded with a sack and hung on the back of the car, and the carriage will not prevent you from putting charcoal pots at all." ”

Qiu Chen nodded hurriedly: "That's good." But I didn't expect that these things were frozen porcelain, but it was cheaper to put them in a sack. ”

So, he hurriedly instructed Qingxing to go to the warehouse and get the sack back, replace the fish, meat, chicken and other meat into sacks, and tie them to the tail and wheel of the car with ropes. With these things, half of the wheels are occupied, and only the left half is left for the driver to sit on.

Poplar slapped the open space on the wheels of the car and said with a smile: "Put these things on, and give me a block from the wind." ”

Qiu Chen still felt uneasy when he looked at it, and finally asked someone to bring a wolf skin mattress to wrap the poplar tree on the road to keep warm, and then he stopped. This era is such a condition, and there is really no way to think about it better.

After packing up the vehicles here, the children who went to the morning exercise and Qin Yi, Qin Li and others also returned, and Qin Zheng went to the playground again without surprise.

Qiu Chen had already taken a pair of gloves and gave them to Yang Shumeng, and this time he gave the remaining gloves to Qingxing to Qin Yi and the others: "I made a few pairs of gloves last night, you can try to use them." ”

Qin Yi, Qin Li and the others hurriedly thanked them, turned their heads, and none of them dared to concentrate on themselves, so they all took the gloves and sent them to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng picked up a pair of suede gloves, the pale yellow-white leather was soft, but not smooth, making the whole glove look very simple and inconspicuous. Anyway, after looking at it for a while, Qin Zheng took one and put it on his hand, and tried to grasp it a few times, but it was more flexible and convenient than he imagined, so he said lightly: "It's quite practical!" ”

As he spoke, he pushed the remaining eight pairs and signaled, "Take it down and divide it!" ”

Qin Yi hurriedly agreed, took the gloves and went down, and shared them with Qin Li, each with a pair. Qin Li and the others also gave up, and the four guards put on gloves and tried it, and they all showed joy on their faces.

"In previous years, if there was such an object to wear in the north, you wouldn't have to freeze your hands every year!" The guard sighed.

Another guard also nodded in agreement: "If you have this, you won't be so cold that you can't hold the reins in your hands and can't hold the swords and guns!" ”

The voices of several guards were very small, but they were still heard by Qin Yong, and they hurriedly scolded in a low voice: "This is also what you said?" Be careful! ”

Several guards looked solemn and quickly silenced.

Qin Zheng sat on the kang and drank a cup of hot tea, and began to think about it in his heart.

He also vaguely heard the words of a few guards just now, the cold in northern Xinjiang is much worse than Liu Jiaao, it really drips into ice, and haqi turns into frost. Many soldiers will suffer frostbite in winter, and every time they fight in winter, there are soldiers who fall off their horses because their fingers are frozen and they can't hold the reins...... If this kind of ...... 'glove' can really be made and equipped with soldiers, it will definitely be able to invisibly improve the army's winter combat capability. In addition, he also noticed that the kind of leather hats worn by the children of the Lin family can be pulled up and put down on both sides and the back of their heads, and after being put down, they can well protect their ears, the back of their necks, and their cheeks and jaws, and they can also keep warm and prevent frostbite......

Do you want to discuss with the woman again and take over this part of the uniform business?

In just a moment, Qin Zheng dispelled this thought.

No, she can't be allowed to interfere in the supply of military supplies anymore, with the previous healing medicine is enough to attract attention, if she takes over the supply of some military uniforms, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble...... In today's situation, he himself is in an eventful time, so it's better not to do anything that attracts attention.

After a while, Qin Li and Qin Yi put breakfast on the table, Qin Zheng ate calmly, and came out of the backyard listening to the laughter and noise outside, he also Shi Shiran got down from the kang, Qin Yi hurriedly stepped forward and put a big coat on him, Qin Li held two red lacquer boxes and followed behind, and went out of the main house together.

Outside the gate, Jun Wen Jun Shu Jun Yan Jun Zhang Yishui was wearing a leather jacket and a fur hat, wrapped warmly, and was saying goodbye to his aunt and younger siblings.

Qiu Chen smiled and instructed Junwen Junshu: "You go back, although you have to accompany your mother and grandparents a lot, but you can't fall behind in reading and writing, and you can't fall behind in the morning and evening exercise. When I come back after the New Year, I will ask Mr. Pan and your righteous master to give you the school examination. Also, you can't be greedy for firecrackers, and you can't be careful with firecrackers, and you are not allowed to go to the ice......"

She instructed carefully, and Junwen Junshu listened carefully with Junyan Junzhang, and responded with a little nod.

After instructing for a while, Qiu Chen himself smiled: "Okay, I won't be verbose, you guys hurry up and get in the car, don't be in a hurry on the road, buy some hot meals and eat them in Anping City, and then continue to hurry." ”

This time, I couldn't help but Brother Junwen, even Yang Shumeng also responded, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, I have written it down." ”

When he agreed, everyone couldn't help laughing, Qiu Chen also smiled, but his eyes gradually turned red.

The eldest brother, the second brother and the Junwen brothers live here every day, and they have to go home, and she is really reluctant.

Jun Yan, who is mischievous on weekdays, is also very calm and silent today, and responds obediently.
