Xie Rumo bit her lip and watched him finish all this, "You wait for me." She put on her cloak and went out.

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go find the third sister-in-law of the Wang family."

Shen Dongli stopped when he heard that she didn't plan to go out.

It didn't take long to see Xie Rumo bring back a fire cage.

Shen Dongli didn't have the idea of fighting them, but there are not many fire cages in Mrs. Wang's house, just two, one is placed in Mrs. Wang's house, first, the old man is afraid of the cold, and it will be warmer to put a fire cage at night, and secondly, there are many children at home, and the clothes are often wet and dirty, and the old people feel less, so they can put some children's clothes on it from time to time. This way your child will have clean clothes to change. The other fire cage was placed in the house of the third sister-in-law of the Wang family, and there was a baby in his room who was just a month old, and he couldn't help but be cold.

This Ayi tribe is not rich, and the materials are very poor. There are few trees in the clan field, the grass is large, and the carbon saved all year round is not enough, and sometimes sheep dung and eggs are used for heating, and he is embarrassed to make pots of carbon anymore. And these carbon kings are also watching, and they are all used by the elderly and children. He also thought that he would spend the night tonight and find a way to get some more carbon from elsewhere tomorrow.

"How did you make the Wang family willing to contribute this fire cage?"

"It's nothing, so I helped Wang's second sister-in-law treat her old illness." She showed the second sister-in-law of the Wang family her secret illness, which made it inconvenient to explain it to Shen Dongli in detail.

With this fire cage, it won't be too cold in the house.

Xie Rumo's smile revealed a kind of satisfaction.

Shen Dongli directly placed the fire cage next to her bed.

"Move those three stools over a bit," Xie Rumo said, raising her chin.

Shen Dongli couldn't help but laugh, "Okay." ”

There was a fire cage between the two, and it was really much warmer.

When she lay down, Xie Rumo thought she would be so nervous that she couldn't sleep, but it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.

And Shen Donglian, who was lying on his back with his eyes closed, slowly turned his head and stared at her sweet sleeping face as she slept with the quilt in her arms, with a trace of satisfaction in her heart.

From time to time, the carbon fire in the fire cage burst out with a crackling sound, a small sign of existence in this quiet night.

Early the next morning, the Wang family's attitude towards them was much more affectionate, especially to Xie Rumo, who was close to flattering.

Shen Dongli finished eating, two guards came over, and Shen Dongli left one for Xie Rumo and took one away.

Later, Wang's second sister-in-law was pressing sugar cane, and when she saw Xie Rumo coming out, she hurriedly asked her son to bring her a bowl, "Pour a cup of sweet water for my sister." Xie Rumo braved the night to come to her house last night to treat her dark illness. At that time, it was just a few stitches, and then she did it the simple way she said, and it was really much more comfortable this morning. Early this morning, her husband went out with the prescription she had given him to ask for medicine. When the medicine comes back, her dark illness will get better faster. Thinking like this, a smile of anticipation appeared on her face.

The child staggered towards her with the bowl, Xie Rumo couldn't bear it, and hurriedly bent over and half-squatted to take the bowl.

After she took the bowl, the little boy was still looking at herself, Xie Rumo thought he wanted to drink, and handed the bowl to him. The little boy covered his mouth and looked at her with big eyes.

Wang's second sister-in-law explained with a smile, "He often drinks it, but he doesn't want it, he means that you should drink it quickly." ”

"How embarrassing is this-" Ancient sugar was still quite precious, and the Wang family was not rich.

"It's okay, just drink. There are a lot of this sugarcane at home, and I can't eat them all. Wang's second sister-in-law pointed to the low wing next to it with half of the door open.

But it was not her kindness, so Xie Rumo sat on a chair in the courtyard and drank it slowly with a bowl of sugarcane juice.

"Second sister-in-law, why do you still have so many tiger skin sugarcane at home?" This tiger skin sugarcane, about a few thousand catties, right?

Wang's second sister-in-law smiled bitterly, "It's not that I want to keep it, I can't sell it, and I can't sell it now. ”

Xie Rumo was taken aback, "There are so many in each family?" ”

"That's right! Which family in the entire tribe doesn't have a few thousand catties, and it's disturbing to watch. "Their tribe's land is really suitable for growing tiger skin sugarcane, and a random seedling can grow very well without much care.

Tiger skin sugarcane is sweet, and the juice yield and sugar yield are not as good as black-skinned sugarcane, but it is good and adaptable, and it is not as difficult to take care of as black-skinned sugarcane. Therefore, there are many tiger skin sugarcanes in their tribe.

"Last year's sugarcane was good, and the people who planted sugarcane made a lot of money, but in the coming year, every household in the tribe increased the amount of planting, but they couldn't sell it, and they couldn't sell it at half the price cheaper than in previous years, don't you think it's strange? In addition, winter comes early, and the heavy snow closes the road, making it difficult for people to get out, let alone bring so much sugarcane. So the sugar cane was piled up in the corners of each house. Our family is still quite small, Han Hu's family, do you know? His family planted a lot of sugarcane last year, and there are currently tens of thousands of catties of sugarcane piled up at home. Every time Han Huniang saw that large pile of sugarcane, she felt that she couldn't breathe in her heart. ”

Xie Rumo listened to her forgiveness chatter, thinking in her heart.

"But if this sugarcane is not processed, it will become moldy in March." Xie Rumo also planted sugarcane in her hometown before she wore it, and she knew this thing too well.

"Isn't it?" Wang's second sister-in-law was also very helpless, "But there is no way, this thing is very hard, it's not easy to gnaw, and if you bite too much, your mouth will be poked by it." Now our family is free to drink sweet cane water, but we can't eat so much. ”

Wang's second sister-in-law was also worried when she looked at the pile of sugar cane.

Xie Rumo can understand her feelings,

Since ancient times, farmers have no foresight in farming, generally what is the price of good next year to plant something, often this time the cost of planting is higher than in previous years, and when the harvest, there is a surplus of the market, and the whole year is basically busy in vain.

For the peasants, this is the work of watching the sky and eating, sometimes working hard in the field for a year, the harvest is not good, and the harvest is not sold at a high price, which is more obvious in later generations. The mood is as contradictory as the carbon seller's sentence 'The poor shirt is single, and the heart is still charcoal and the sky is cold'.

"Is the sugar cane grown in the tribe sold every year?"

Second sister-in-law Wang looked at Xie Rumo suspiciously, "Otherwise?" "Who else can you sell to if you don't sell it outside?

"Can't you use these sugar canes to make sugar?"

Smelling, Wang's second sister-in-law's eyes widened, after last night, she had completely regarded Xie Rumo as a nobleman, she was a keen person, and through conversation, she found that the nobleman seemed to have a way to dispose of this batch of sugarcane

"What is sugar?" When she asked this, Wang's second sister-in-law's heart pounded.
