Fortunately, this is a rural area, and it is not difficult to collect firewood.

However, he had to come back quickly, otherwise there would be no oil lamps to light at home when it got dark.

"Su, Su!" Su Jinzheng was thinking wildly, and suddenly heard someone calling him, and when he looked up, he saw that Mrs. Qin had sneaked in, and hurriedly got up and greeted her: "Mother......"

"Hey," Mrs. Qin held her hand and patted her lightly and sighed, and hurriedly took out two pairs of brand-new straw sandals from her arms and gave them to her: "You can take these two pairs of shoes, it is easy to wear them on the mountain." Don't go too far into the mountains, it's too far and dangerous! ”

They didn't have anything to eat, and they didn't have to think about it to know that there was no other way than to go up the mountain to find food, so Old Lady Qin said so.

Saying that, the old lady took out an old handkerchief and stuffed something into Su Jin's hand, and said in a low voice: "This is twenty yuan, after a while, you go to the county town to buy two catties of cotton and a few feet of coarse cloth to sew and wear clothes." When the garment is sewn, remember to wear it inside and don't show it, ah. Alas, don't blame your brother and sister-in-law, the family is too poor, and they are also ......"

Old Lady Qin smiled bitterly, she was embarrassed to say good things for her two sons, she just let out a long sigh.

Su Jin's heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "Mother, don't think about it, in fact, there is nothing wrong with separating the family, you and your father's nurturing grace are remembered!" This money...... We'll borrow you, and we'll return it to you when we have it in the future. ”

Su Jin really couldn't say what he didn't want, because now they really need money! Even if it's twenty wen.

If you can buy two or three catties of cotton, you may be able to save their lives in this winter. This is not the time to be reckless.

Old Madam Qin waved her hand and smiled: "No need to pay it back, this is what I secretly saved, no one knows!" Just don't say it! Okay, I should go back too, you guys live a good life......"

"Mother, go slowly!" Su Jin didn't dare to keep her more, otherwise the two shrews would not have another accident when they saw it.

Seeing that Old Lady Qin wanted to leave without saying anything, and shook the twenty coins in her hand, Su Jin only felt a heavy heart.

She sighed and laughed to herself.

When did she Su Jin also feel embarrassed about such a little money.

Qin Lang came back not long after, in addition to picking up a bundle of thick and thin firewood, there was also a large roll of rattan.

"It's back!" Su Jin put away his messy thoughts and stepped forward with a smile, took the rattans, and put the firewood at the door.

"Before it's dark, I'll cook dinner. Corn kernels boiled porridge! Su Jin smiled again.

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, hearing, and inquiring, and the ability to observe words and colors is naturally stronger than others.

Su Jin could see that this man had a quiet temperament and said very little. In the future, two people will have to live together, it's not good that both of them don't speak or communicate silently, how depressing is that?

Since he didn't say it, she took the initiative to say a few more words.

Sure enough, she took the initiative to speak, and he didn't want to ignore it, so he said "um" like gold, and took care of the stove by himself.

Ahem, it was said that it was a "stove", but it was a shallow inclined pit dug with a pointed wooden stick in front of the hut, and a few stones were piled around it.

Su Jin glanced at it and silently went to prepare the corn kernels.

"That, Xianggong," Su Jin didn't notice that Qin Lang's body trembled significantly when he called "Xianggong", and continued in embarrassment: "We don't have water ......"

Not only did they have no water, not even buckets or wooden basins to carry water, only stoneware pots more than a foot high with their mouths open!

There is a well in the middle and westernmost part of the village, which the villagers raised money to dig and had to pay for the water for their homes.

Qin Lang glanced at her, got up and walked away silently, "Wait!" ”

Su Jin let out an "oh", sorted out the firewood, and piled it neatly under the eaves.

It didn't take long for Qin Lang to come back, carrying a load of water.

Su Jin's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Hey, you are so good, you borrowed a bucket!" ”

Borrowing a bucket to carry water can also be regarded as a powerful thing, which is simply a joke for Su Jin in her previous life, but at this moment she is sincerely happy.

Qin Lang also seemed to think that this sounded funny, "um", a faint smile appeared in his eyes, "Let's cook." ”

The bucket was borrowed from the Rimasa family, and he picked up a load of water for them in exchange.

In order not to make the atmosphere embarrassing, Su Jin had nothing to say to Qin Lang while cooking, and asked about the people and things in the village.

It's not a bad thing to live here and learn more.

In the thick twilight, the dancing flames lit up a small piece of the world. The corn kernels in the clay pot are tumbling with rice flowers, steaming, the aroma of corn wafts in the air, and the two people sit by the warm fire, talking from time to time.

Su Jin didn't dare to cook too many corn kernels, for fear that he would run out of food. She filled half a bowl, and Qin Lang filled a full bowl of polenta.

Seeing Qin Lang looking at the porridge in the bowl and then at her, Su Jin hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't have much appetite now, that's enough." ”

There are seven points of truth in this, and the most important thing is that Qin Lang is the main labor force, it is nothing for her to eat half full for the time being, Qin Lang must be full.

Qin Lang is full of food and has the strength to work, so both of them will have the opportunity to eat well in the future. But if Qin Lang can't eat enough and doesn't have the strength to work, the two of them will finish playing together!

Actually, it's a bit false to say "full", anyway, she tries to make sure it......

Anyway, it's more than hers.

Qin Lang didn't say anything more when he heard this.

After the two of them had dinner, it was already dark, and the cold wind was whining and whining, and it was colder and colder. Even though he had just eaten hot food, Su Jin still trembled.

Qin Lang glanced at her: "You go to bed in the house first." ”

Hearing a "sleep" son, Su Jin's heart was tight again, the original owner and Qin Lang did not have a round house, and the two of them slept with a thin bed, and the well water did not interfere with the river water.

But for Su Jin, tonight was the first time he "shared a bed" with a man, and he was a little nervous and uncomfortable.

However, she soon silently convinced herself and accepted it calmly.

She is now Su Jin, a village woman in this era, Qin Lang's daughter-in-law, that's all.

"Well, then I'll go first."

Su Jin nodded, scooped half a scoop of hot water from the cleaned and boiled clay pot with the gourd gourd after it was ripe, mixed it with cold water, and reluctantly wiped his face and washed his hands.

She didn't dare to think about taking a bath or something, taking a bath at this time, not to mention that there was no basin or bucket, and she was frozen to death.

If you get sick with a cold or something again, then just wait for death!

When he entered the house and saw the two pairs of straw sandals, he touched the twenty coins in his arms, and Su Jin told Qin Lang about it again.

Straw sandals are worn on the outside of badly worn cloth shoes, which will be more convenient to go up the mountain, and this money is carried on the body, at least the heart is a little more stable.

"When we make money, we'll pay it back to my mother, do you think it's okay?" Su Jin said gently.
