Chapter 38: You're a Pit Son!
It snowed for 10 days.
You know, it's snowing for 10 days, which is amazing.
They were all secretly glad that they were on the hill, and if they were in the village below the hill, this kind of sturdy house would have collapsed.
But everyone has been suffering for the past ten days.
The wind and snow outside were too strong, and even if they wanted to go out to chop wood, the thin clothes couldn't withstand it.
It's not that you don't have thick clothes, that's all there was to everyone's thick clothes in previous years, and you can't get thicker clothes.
Every family is not rich, where to get those cottons.
For those poor people, it would be nice to have a mezzanine in that garment and sew some hay to keep out the cold.
It's all miserable now.
Many people have frostbite.
The firewood has been cut off.
No, early this morning, Han Chengkui came to find the old lady and Wang Pengju, and Wang Pengfei them.
If you don't have firewood, let alone heating, you can't even cook.
In any case, they must go out to chop wood in the wind and snow today, otherwise the dozens of people in this hole will only be left to gnaw on raw food.
Han Chengkui said what he meant, Wang Pengju and Wang Pengfei were embarrassed.
It is said that the two families get along together as a family, but when people go out to chop wood, they can't let all the men of the Han family go, and the men of their Wang family keep that like words in the cave, and when the time comes, will it be useful to cut back this firewood?
But when they went out, the clothes on their family were really thin.
Not to mention that it is out of the hole, even if you stand at the entrance of the cave, you are shivering with cold.
It was a day of sin for them.
Clothes are not angry.
When you go out, you have to go down to the woods in the mountains, and when you go to the woods, you will chop wood and come back, and you will definitely freeze when you go back and forth.
Wang Pengju and Wang Pengfei are not bad people, but there is really no way.
Both brothers had embarrassed expressions on their faces.
Mrs. Wang nodded in agreement.
"Okay, the eldest and the third one, you will take a few boys and follow the Han family's Da Kui for a trip, there are many people and a companion, this snow is too thick, maybe you will step on the air if you step on it, everyone follows together, and there is a guarantee for tying the rope together, otherwise something will happen."
The old lady has been pondering for the past two days that this firewood is getting less and less, and in the end there will be no more.
The wind and snow are so big.
It's impossible not to go out, and now it looks like we're going to have to come up with something decent.
The old lady pondered for a long time to make excuses, and only after thinking of excuses was she ready to agree to this matter.
Han Chengkui had already seen that Wang Pengju and Wang Pengfei were probably worried about the weather, and they were also worried, but there was no way.
They have to get out even if it's cold.
Otherwise, the old and young in the family will starve to death and die of cold.
I looked at the straw sandals on my feet, the toes of these straw sandals were already frozen and swollen, but there was no way, the cloth shoes at home couldn't be worn now.
I thought about it for a while, I had to find a cloth to wrap it, otherwise I would have to freeze this foot when I came back from a trip.
Mrs. Wang didn't hesitate.
At this time, it is better to live than to die, although these are secrets, but as long as this secret does not involve her granddaughter, the big deal is the secret of her old lady alone.
"Da Kui, don't leave yet, you and the eldest and second do me a favor and unload the boxes on my car."
There is a car that is specially loaded with old lady's boxes, don't look at Mrs. Wang's family has no money, but people still have such a few big boxes.
Although it is not the valuable mahogany box, you must know that even if the box is made of willow bent wood, in the family of the poor people like them, it can be regarded as a rich man.
This box has been around for a long time, and it should be the dowry of the old lady when she got married.
The lacquer on top is already a little mottled, revealing the dull yellow color underneath.
Han Chengkui didn't know what the old lady was going to do.
But since the old lady said so, they did it.
Boxes were lifted over one by one, and there were five boxes in full.
This box is indeed Mrs. Wang's dowry, but it was originally filled with some rags, and a few boxes were basically empty.
Later, the old lady used the burden to pack some mess.
By this time, the old lady had already packed up all the contents of the box.
The bits and pieces have been thrown into Wang Xiaoqing's warehouse, anyway, as long as the next day, the excess things will be automatically cleaned up by the warehouse.
Wang Xiaoqing and her have not been idle these days.
Seeing that the weather was getting worse and worse, the result of the discussion between the two of them was that they had to prepare some clothes and shoes to keep out the cold, otherwise these people would all freeze to death.
A living person can't really die here with something in his pocket, that's inhumane.
At this time, people must think about survival.
"Open all the boxes."
Mrs. Wang gave an order.
Five boxes were opened.
Everybody came around.
The last time they came around to see the old lady had brought out so much food, this time they came around to see what good things the old lady still had hidden in this box.
As soon as it opens! Everyone was dumbfounded.
Clothes, shoes, but they look like these, but they don't look like these.
Because the style of the clothes and shoes is different from what they have here.
"Come, take out these things, it's been some years, this is what I often flip through, otherwise this thing would have been useless for a long time, to tell you the truth, these things were left to me by his grandfather back then.
Da Kui, your grandfather must have known that in the early years, his grandfather had followed those ships across the sea.
These are all Fanbang things! At that time, I was going to take it back and sell it, but who knew that no one would want these things after I got them back.
The things were smashed in his hands, and his grandfather's family was also rich in his early years, but because he ran the boat a few times, these things couldn't be sold, and the goods were forced to lose, and these things were reluctant to throw them away, after all, they were bought back with money. It's not all left until now, but now that it's time, I think this thing can probably come in handy. ”
Han Chengkui shook his head when he saw it, and they understood the meaning of the old lady's words.
I guess this thing can't be sold when it comes in and back.
It has become an old account at the bottom of the box.
But looking at the things, let alone more than ten years ago, even if they are taken out now, no one wants to ask for them.
The main thing is weird, who wants this thing?
It's not a joke to spend money on this stuff.
No wonder it can't be sold.
Wang Pengju and Wang Pengfei were surprised, they hadn't heard their mother mention their father.
His mother always scolded his father for being a loser and killing a thousand knives, but he didn't expect his father to be a rich man.
They used to be the young masters of a certain family.
Who knew that his father had ruined his house like this, leaving a few boxes of these things.
This thing can't be eaten as food, nor can it be worn as clothing, no wonder the family has been defeated.
Looking at this kind of thing, the two sons are deeply helpless, his mother is really right, she is a loser.
If they were all silver.
They wouldn't be like this now.
Daddy!
You're such a pit son.
If you always behave in a proper manner, at least our family has a bit of a family business now.
Why should the sons flee from the famine?
This stuff is real money.
What a loser.
