Chapter 112: Go up the mountain to chop wood
The gentle taro has been planted, and she is planning to divide the vegetable plot in the courtyard into several pieces and plant different vegetables.
Spread stones in the middle and fine sand in the courtyard, so that you don't have to worry about getting your shoes dirty on rainy days.
Now that the house is dirt, the next step is to lay bluestone slabs or bricks in the house.
However, she can't do it too well all at once, maybe it will arouse the suspicion of others, she can only do it step by step, step by step.
Before he put the hoe away, he saw Lin come out with a piece of cloth.
"Xiaowan, the weather is getting colder and colder, and you all have only thick clothes, so you can't change them. While you have to wear it now, my mother has to help you get your clothes ready. ”
Wen Wan frowned and remained silent.
"What, you come into the house quickly, my mother will measure you first." Saying that, Lin took the initiative to pull Wen Wan into the house, without mentioning the matter of chopping wood.
With Xiao San here, Wen Wan can do without firewood, but she also has to get some firewood to put it away, don't she?
Besides, the day is getting colder and colder, and she can bear it, but she is afraid that the child will not be able to carry it, and if necessary, she will have to burn a fire.
After measuring the size, Lin didn't give Wen Wan a chance to speak, and went back to his room with the cloth, leaving Wen Wan alone in the wind.
She knew that her two daughters had never been careful, and as long as she had an excuse not to chop wood, the two of them would not be able to look past it, and they would go.
"Sister, why is my mother so active today?" Wen Ya didn't know when she appeared behind Wen Wan.
"It's quite positive, let's go chop wood." Wen Wan sighed.
If the Lin family is idle, she will definitely not let it go.
But now, Lin wants to make cotton clothes for the family, and she has no reason to ask her to work anymore.
After all, if Lin doesn't do it, she can't do this kind of fine work.
I had to resign myself to doing more work.
With gentleness, carry a basket on your back and go up the mountain.
Because there are few people in Fanjia Village, there is no high mountain to collect firewood, and there are many ready-made dead branches on the mountain, which only need to be cut into pieces and put them away.
Although Wen Ya is small, this kind of thing can be done without ambiguity.
"Sister, I suddenly remembered that when we were in Peach Blossom Village, it was also winter, and my mother didn't make cotton clothes for us, so I made them for a few younger brothers. At that time, you told me that if you work more, you won't be cold. ”
Wen Wan's heart is sour, how can parents be willing to favor one over the other?
Rubbing her little head, "Now that my sister is here, I won't let you live that hard life again." ”
"But now, my mother will make cotton clothes for us, sister, I think my mother has changed a lot."
It can be seen that the little guy is still eager to get his mother's care in his heart.
Wen Wan couldn't bear to brush off her expectation, and said lightly: "I hope so." ”
"It's so hot to wear so thick, and it's so hot to work." As she spoke, Wen Ya wanted to take off her coat.
"I can't take it off, and I'm easy to get sick." Wen Wan put on her clothes, "You wait for me here, I'll look for it in the forest and come back soon." ”
"Sister...... "This mountain is gentle and unfamiliar, and she will be afraid to be here alone.
Wen Wan gave her a reassuring look, "Don't be afraid, you can call me out loud if you have something." ”
Seeing the little guy nodding obediently, she was relieved to leave.
After a while, he picked up a pile of firewood and threw it directly into the space. There are also herbs that she encounters on the way, as long as they can be used, she picks them.
After two more sparrows, he walked out of the forest to join Wen Ya.
Seeing the bird in her hand, Wen Ya jumped up excitedly, "Sister, how did you catch this?" ”
"With a stone, just throw it and it will fall."
"That's amazing! Teach me ......"
"Want to learn?" Wen Wan raised an eyebrow at her glowing eyes.
"I want to learn!"
"Then you'll listen to me from now on."
"Uh-huh! I also want to be as powerful as my sister, so that no one will dare to bully us in the future. Sister, where did you learn this? ”
The little one is like a happy bird, surrounding Wen Wan.
The corners of her mouth were raised, and her eyes flashed with tenderness, "I learned it in the bandit's nest, did you forget?" ”
"Ah, yes, yes, yes! I almost forgot. ”
The sisters went to the bamboo forest again, and the thick bamboo leaves were spread on the ground, and they could not see anything.
Wen Ya couldn't help but ask, "Sister, did you dig bamboo shoots here yesterday?" ”
"Hmm." Wen Wan nodded.
"However, I see that there is nothing, and the bamboo shoots have not yet emerged, how did you dig them?" Wen Ya frowned, like a curious baby.
On the way to escape from the famine, she showed her sensibility and stamina, so that Wen Ya almost forgot that she was only a five-year-old child after all.
She asked the direction of Xiao Sandong's bamboo shoots in her heart, and then picked up the leaves with her feet, and saw a little bamboo shoot bud popping up.
"By experience."
Wen Wan was very calm, and found several bamboo shoots, which made the little guy worship even more.
Today I don't have a hoe, so I can only dig the earth with a sickle and a dagger.
It took a lot of effort for the sisters to dig up five.
Throwing the bamboo shoots into the back basket, and then putting a bundle of firewood, Wen Wan picked up the back basket and said, "It's almost, let's go home." ”
Wen Ya's face was still unfinished.
It wasn't until Wen Wan said that she would come back with a hoe another day that she smiled again.
After returning home and putting her things, Wen Wan went to the front row to find Lao Hong.
During the time when the house was built, Lao Hong made basic things such as doors and windows, tables and stools.
As for the other boxes and cabinets, they are not very necessary things, and they will cost money to do them in the future.
Lao Hong happened to come back with a piece of wood, and when he saw Wen Wan, he hurriedly asked her to come into the house and sit.
"Miss Wen, I found three good woods, tell me what furniture you still need, I'll do it for you first." Lao Hong smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.
"It's just a few wardrobes, don't worry, can you help me build a desk first? It should be one meter and five long, and there should be a bookcase half a meter wide next to it, no carving, just make it simpler. ”
Lao Hong nodded to show that he understood, "In a hurry?" ”
"I'm in a hurry."
"Then I'll send it to you as soon as possible, and the day after tomorrow."
……
Mu Rufeng, who hadn't slept for two consecutive nights, wanted to sleep until dark.
But before noon, Mu Bai ran to his room.
"Big brother, why are you still sleeping? I'm dying of hunger. ”
Mu Rufeng's head was groggy and lifted his eyelids.
He's hungry too, so let's cook first and then go back to sleep.
After Mu Bai left, he got up from the bed, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and hurriedly supported the kang, so that he didn't let himself fall.
It took him a while to recover before he came to the kitchen.
Pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, kitchen knives and cutting boards, there is no shortage of them.
Mu Rufeng came out and asked, "Xiaobai, so many things in our family, all of them were bought by your sister Wen?" ”
"Yes, big brother, don't beat me, my sister said that she wanted to learn acupuncture from her grandfather, which was agreed by my grandfather."
Mu Rufeng didn't speak, and silently calculated the newly added things at home, plus the clothes of the three of them, about five or six taels of silver.
If he copied a book, he could copy forty words and six taels of silver, and he had to copy one hundred and fifty books.
Thinking of last night's bitterness, Mu Rufeng only felt that his right hand began to tremble.
