"Grandma Shen, you teach me to be clear, there is still a lot of firewood in the forest ahead, I will get it later." Miss Shen, they are all girls, so I should help take care of them more. ”

Shi Yuanqing said and looked at Shen Xinyue.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, I was slightly disappointed.

Soon turned away.

"What about such a big bundle of firewood, you said that you would give it away, and besides, your hands are reading and writing, how can you do such rough work?" When Shi saw him coming, he was very unhappy.

"Mother, everyone should take care of each other when they go out, besides, Miss Shen and their family don't have a single man, so my son naturally wants to help me with everything he can."

"You're right, it's just that next time you do this kind of thing, you have to study with peace of mind when you settle down. Your uncle and his family can't tolerate us, so you must fight for your mother. ”

"Mother, don't worry, I will study hard and shine in the Shi family."

Hearing Shi Yuanqing's words, Shi's eyes glowed again.

She must do whatever it takes, and she must also train her son to become a talent, so that those who look down on her will all regret what they did to their mother and son.

It was getting dark, and the temperature was getting low.

After dinner, Shen Xinyue moved the fire in front of her, and the place where the ashes were left still had residual warmth.

After removing the ash from the top, she first spread a layer of hay, then a straw mat, and finally a tiger skin on top.

The twins took Shen Jiyue and Wang Liang to the forest to cut a few thick branches and came back, and several people set up a simple tent together.

The Hu family did the same, and also used the previous tarpaulin to prop up a tent.

There are also people who are skillful and cut large bundles of artemisia grass and bundle them into a windproof straw curtain.

People who don't have tarpaulins or straw curtains can only wrap all their clothes around their bodies and try to resist the cold wind.

After one night, two families contracted the cold.

"I don't know what the situation is in Shunxiang Town, since crossing Longfeng Mountain, there are a lot fewer victims on the road."

Someone sighed: "It is almost late autumn, and after the frost, everyone's life is even more difficult, and if there is no road guide, you will suffer even more, and it is normal for there to be fewer people." ”

"This time I went to town, I really wanted to buy a cotton coat. I just don't know how much it costs? If the price is too high, just grit your teeth and endure it, and when you settle down, you need money everywhere......"

Everyone gossiped while hurrying.

The cart full of grain brought out from Heishui Village was eaten less than a third during this time.

The original little mule now looks like a cart.

The old man and the child were sitting on mule carts, and they were moving much faster than before.

Two days later, everyone finally arrived in Shunxiang Town.

It is close to Jin'an Province, and although there are also victims in the town, the situation is much stronger than other towns that I have passed before.

The thing that makes everyone happiest is that there is no need to enter the city anymore!

"Amitabha, immeasurable celestial venerable, God opened his eyes, and finally saw hope." Li Xiulan folded her hands and bowed to the front.

Shen Gui'an: "Mother, one is a Buddha and the other is a Bodhisattva, you are so insincere, beware of offending the superiors, neither of them will be good." ”

"You damn boy's skin is tight again, isn't it? I'll let you talk nonsense, see if I don't pick your skin! ”

Li Guilan turned her head to look for the belongings she had in hand, Shen Fuan quietly handed over a branch, and soon there was a scream of Shen Gui'an crying wolf in front of her.

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient for a lot of people to go to the yamen." Shen Dacheng took out the letter given by Chen Xu and his eyes fell on Shi Yuanqing.

Without waiting for him to say, Shi Yuanqing took the initiative to speak: "I'll accompany Uncle Shen over together." ”

Shen Dacheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Scholars, it is always easy to do things when you enter the yamen.

In this way, Shen Dacheng, father and son and Shi Yuanqing went to the yamen together.

A few people were left to look after the mule cart, while others took the opportunity to buy some necessities.

Although the situation in Shunxiang Town is better than other places, the price is still quite high.

Even the most ordinary coarse cloth costs 20 wen and 1 foot, not to mention a jacket with cotton wool, a ready-to-wear garment costs 150 wen.

Most people were reluctant to spend that money, only bought a few feet of coarse cloth, and planned to sew it themselves at night.

Shen Xinyue found a chance to leave, and then took ten catties of cotton from the space.

"Girl, where did you get this cotton, it's so white, like that snowflake. If this is made into clothes or quilts, I don't know how warm it will be. Liu Sumei saw the cotton in her hand, and she was a little envious of the novelty.

Xinyue's girl is a good fate, and she can get good things every time.

"Auntie, I saw a caravan of different races just now, they were very fast, and I chased them before I had time to tell you. Originally, it was just a matter of luck, but who thought that they really had it in the team, and the opportunity was rare, so I bought all the cotton. ”

"Auntie, if you want, I can give you some."

Hearing that she could share her own part, Liu Sumei was overjoyed, and before she could speak, Shen Laoqi's daughter-in-law also came over.

"Girl, how much do you buy this, can you also share some of the aunts? Your uncle's injury is not yet healed, so I'm afraid that he will catch a cold again. ”

"Auntie, I bought it for fifty yuan a catty, if you need it, you can get one catty per person."

Seeing that it is about to be late autumn, Mrs. Shen and a few small winter clothes should also be prepared.

There are a lot of padded clothes and down jackets in the space, but they are not suitable for taking them out at all.

She had taken the cotton out of the quilt.

Shen Laoqi's daughter-in-law was already very satisfied: "One pound is also in the middle, and there is nothing to sell in the stores in the town, at least I can make a jacket for the men in the family to wear." ”

divided two catties out, and the remaining eight catties of cotton, the others were all rejected by Shen Xinyue when they opened their mouths.

Then she went to the cloth shop to buy ten feet of cloth, and asked the shopkeeper to give her some needles and thread to add to it, and then left the shop.

"Eldest sister, it's so fragrant." Shen Jiyue sniffed hard in a certain direction.

Shen Xinyue looked sideways and found that there was a steamed bun shop not far away.

"Let's go, the eldest sister will take you to eat steamed buns." After that, he took Shen Jiyue's hand and took the lead towards the store.

Shen Yingyue and the twins followed.

Wang Liang was hesitating whether to go over, but Shen Yue suddenly turned his head and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up?" ”

"Hey!" Wang Liang nodded heavily and pulled his legs to follow.

After inquiring about the price, a few people found out that the meat buns that originally cost two cents a piece now cost three dollars a piece.

Shen Yingyue secretly tugged at her sleeve: "Eldest sister, it's too expensive, or forget it." ”

"Fifteen first."

Shen Xinyue finished speaking to the store very proudly, before she lowered her head and looked at Shen Jiyue and said, "You guys are growing up, haven't you heard that sentence?" What can't you lose to the child, eat it, it's not enough, let's ask for it. ”
