Chapter 65: Working Together
The food was piled up in the outer room where the father and mother lived, a total of more than ten square meters, and the kang was full of ground, leaving a place for the husband and wife to sleep. 35xs is that it is difficult to accommodate two people on the ground. At this time, the whole family sat on the kang in the back room.
Shen Zhong was also confused, he really didn't know anything but farming. But he was the head of the family at this time, and he thought for a long time before saying something that was not nutritious: "Tomorrow I will go and chop more firewood." ”
The whole family nodded, the firewood room had been locked up by Mrs. Jia, and the things inside were not allowed to move, these days Xiaoxia's family used the steamed rice from the pot used to dismantle pig food outside, and there was really no place to build a stove in the second room.
"Our family wants to buy land in the future, buy a lot of land." Xiao Xia knew that Shen Zhong would farm, and she herself wanted to be a landlord who had food and did not have to worry about it, but in her previous life, she was really miserable by the days when she couldn't eat enough, so she developed a good habit of hoarding food.
"I will embroider more in the future, and now I can embroider a fan, and I can exchange it for some silver." That fan-faced grandmother Liu had seen that she could sell twenty copper plates, but she was very happy and more confident in herself.
"I will help my mother do laundry and cook." Xiaoqiu saw that her sisters were so capable, and she was a little sad when she thought that she could only do this now.
"Xiaoqiu is already very capable, because you are still young!" Xiao Xia touched her cute little head and hugged her in her arms, determined to let Xiao Qiu live a good life in the future. Flash Dance.
The family is united and full of hope for the days ahead, and everyone is screwing up and deciding to start working hard tomorrow.
The next day, early in the morning, Shen Zhong went up the mountain to chop wood. It's okay in winter, and after breakfast, Xiao Wang took Xiaochun Xiaoqiu to embroider in the back room. Xiao Xia looked at the food piled up with foreign objects, and transported it into his own space little by little, smuggling a few bags a day, and finally exposed the ground of the outhouse after five or six days.
Shen Zhong piled all the firewood he had chopped back in the past few days in the open space behind the second house, and he had already piled a lot of it. Xiaochun and her mother have also embroidered a lot of embroidery in the past few days, and they are waiting to go to the town to catch up with the market and sell it when they are young.
Today, Shen Zhong set aside a day to set up a stove on the floor of the outhouse, the weather was too cold, and it was too sinful to cook outside every day. As for the whereabouts of the food, Xiao Xia said that he was slowly hiding in the cave, and the Shen family didn't ask anymore.
Seeing that no one is puzzled, Xiao Xia finally put all the stored food into the space before the new year, leaving only a few days of chewing at home.
On the day of the New Year, the whole family went to the mountain town, and even Xiaoqiu wore a warm huhu and followed, Uncle Niu's ox cart really couldn't sit down, there were too many people going to the town today, so Xiao Wang held Xiaoqiu and sat in the ox cart, and the rest of the family walked.
Today, in order to buy New Year's goods, the people in the backing town are much more lively than in the past, in order not to be separated, the family acts together. Flash Dance.
There are more than half of the small merchants and vendors on the street than usual, and the goods are even more dazzling, even the pearl hairpin jewelry that could not be bought in the town before, let alone sell, are sold, and the stalls are surrounded by big girls and little daughters-in-law.
There are also all kinds of home-grown food, such as salted duck eggs, raw eggs, and even pickles.
Xiao Xia couldn't help but buy twenty boiled salted duck eggs, she hadn't eaten them for more than ten years. Seeing that all the eggs were packed, and the eggs were afraid of breaking, Xiao Xia carefully put them in his back basket to cover them up, and hurriedly put the space.
There are also many stalls selling lanterns and couplets, but Shen Zhong didn't let him buy them, saying that he would tie the lanterns, and the couplets could be written by the third child, and the couplets at home every year were written by the third child himself. That is, every year, the people in the village bring two eggs or two cabbages to Shen Zhi to write couplets. Xiao Xia can imagine that Shen Zhi, who has been admitted to the Jinshi this year, must be better at writing couplets.
There are also many men who sell firewood, and Shen Zhong originally wanted to transport his trimmed firewood over to sell, but unfortunately there was no means of transportation so he had to give up! He now sees that the firewood business is also so good, and his bowels are green, and he knows that he will resist all the firewood.
In the very center of the main street, there were jugglers, surrounded by a sea of people, and the little man didn't want to look at it, but could only hear shouts and cheers, and bursts of applause. Xiao Qiu rode on the neck of the tall Shen Zhong for the first time to see such a lively and interesting thing, she was tightly wrapped, although she only showed a pair of big eyes, but she could also feel her excited expression. Xiao Xia also wanted to ride on Shen Zhong's neck to see, but thinking about himself, he was a person who had lived for two lifetimes, how embarrassed he was, he was used to being a child recently, and he couldn't get carried away.
The jugglers didn't see it, so they could only go to the booth of the candy man on the side to find comfort. The front of the booth was surrounded by children as big as Xiao Xia, and a pair of eager little eyes were staring at the old man who pinched the candy man, and after a while, a lively figure was pinched. Xiao Xia looked left and right, and there was no character she knew, so she couldn't help but ask: "Is there a Monkey King or Nezha?" ”
The old man raised his head and asked suspiciously, "Who is Sun Wukong?" Who is Nezha? ”
Xiao Xia sighed, this world and her original world really have no connection at all, and shook her head in disappointment. "It's the baby in our village, what is the old man pinching?"
The old man didn't think much about it at all, what knowledge the child had, and he knew how to play with the village children every day. And began to introduce his own work. "This is the first beauty in the world, Tang Guifei, and the most favored concubine of the emperor today; This is Princess Qingxiang, the emperor's favorite little princess; There are also immortals, immortal officials, ......"
"Who is this?" A little boy asked, pointing to a sugar man wearing a war kai with a big knife.
"Hey! This is the most powerful general of our Kyushu Dynasty, General Gu Hong. It's a pity that I died on the battlefield eight years ago......" the old man sighed and said regretfully.
Xiao Xia didn't expect that she would just take a casual look and learn about some of the big names in this country, but she didn't care much, for people who couldn't eat enough, there was a world of difference between them and those big guys, and there would be no involvement.
She looked at it and finally decided to buy the little sugar man called Qingxiang and go back to Xiaoqiu, so that Xiaoqiu could also taste the taste of the little princess, although she could not give Xiaoqiu the right and status of princess, but she could live a happy life like a princess.
The family had seen enough of the excitement and entered the Ruyi embroidery workshop and sold the embroidery first. The embroidery workshop was also full of big girls and little daughters-in-law, and even the boss's mouth couldn't close when he smiled. Before the New Year, it is the best time of the year for business, and people who have saved money at home want to change into new clothes in the New Year and hope that next year will be better.
Even when the boss saw that there were guests coming to the door, he naturally entertained with a smile on his face. "It turned out to be Xiaochun, I heard that you and Grandma Liu learned embroidery? Take a look at the embroidery, I'm short of embroidery here! ”
Koharu is no longer like when he first came to the town, he didn't dare to say a word, and he didn't dare to walk a single step. After listening to the words of the proprietress, she quickly took out her own embroidery, a whole bag, which she had saved for several months.
"Makes you smile."
