"Sister, did the fortune teller say how long it will take for this heavy snow?" Liu Zhuting asked.

"That's not to say, judging from his tone, it should be down for a long time, and it hasn't reached its peak yet, and in a few days, it should be even colder." Liu Shulin said.

"It's going to be colder, huh?" Cai Junze frowned.

"Hmm. So, I made such preparations, which should be enough to deal with this heavy snowfall. Liu Shulin nodded and said.

After that, Liu Shulin made food and entertained Li Fangming.

Cai Junze quietly asked Li Fangming if Yuan Xiao'e had been looking for him recently.

Li Fangming said that he had gone to look for him, but he avoided him.

Cai Junze told him what he confessed to Mother Yuan before, and Li Fangming was slightly surprised.

"After that, I didn't have any contact with them." Cai Junze said, "I don't know what the situation of their family is now." ”

Li Fangming sighed and said, "I didn't expect this thing to become like this, I hope everything can end here." ”

"Brother Fang Ming, I know that the reason why this matter has become your trouble is somewhat due to my factors." Cai Junze said, "If Yuan Xiao'e and I don't have such an intersection, perhaps, this matter will be much easier for you to deal with." ”

If it weren't for him, Brother Fang Ming wouldn't have some concerns, right?

Li Fangming said lightly: "Brother Junze is serious, this matter is a bit troublesome, but it is not impossible to solve. ”

After sitting at Cai's house for two hours, Li Fangming got up and said goodbye.

"Brother Fang Ming, my family burned a lot of charcoal, you can bring some back!" Seeing that Li Fangming brought a few subordinates over, Cai Junze planned to ask him to bring some charcoal back.

He felt that there should be no shortage of food and cold items in the county king's mansion, but charcoal was not easy to say.

Li Fangming saw that the Cai family's charcoal had indeed burned a lot, piling up the entire utility room, Cai Junze said so, and he asked the people who came with him to bring some back.

Another day passed.

It's getting colder and colder every day.

Yesterday he was still playing in the snow in the yard, and today, Cai Junze has no energy at all.

It's cold!

And play a fart!

He just wanted to snuggle up under the covers or squat by the charcoal stove.

The other families were also sealed under the covers or by the charcoal stove.

"Oops, this damn weather is too cold, isn't it?"

"If it's so cold, I'm afraid the charcoal at home won't be enough to burn......"

"Alas, I've never been so cold before, and I've never had thick clothes at home, so I've got ...... now."

"The vegetables are not stored much, and the vegetables in the field are frozen by the heavy snow, which is difficult to do these days......"

"I thought it wouldn't be so cold, but I didn't expect it to snow, it's really rare in a century......"

"It's cold, it's cold, the point is, there's no end in sight, and I don't know when it's going to end......"

Seeing that the heavy snow had no intention of stopping, the weather became colder and colder, and the villagers gradually realized the seriousness of the situation.

If it continues to be so cold, I am afraid that the problem will only get bigger and bigger......

"Why does this snow keep falling?"

Looking at the snow that was still falling outside, Niu Li frowned.

The supplies at home are limited, and this kind of snow is really terrible!

"Didn't you say salt before? So much salt, why don't you keep collecting it? Lu Qingyan was also idle, and couldn't help but sarcastically mock Niu Li's to pass this boring time.

When Lu Qingyan said this, Niu Li's face suddenly turned bad, he glared at her, and said: "There are many people in the village who mistake snow for salt, and I'm not the only one, I haven't seen snow, I don't recognize it, isn't it okay?" ”

Lu Qingyan sighed.

"Don't laugh, when is it?" Niu Li said in a calm voice, "If this snow continues to fall like this, we are only afraid that we will be frozen to death, and there is not much charcoal fire left at home, and it will not be able to withstand it for a few days." ”

"What then?" Niu Jiashi couldn't help but look worried.

"What can I do, I can only boil!" Lu Qingyan said.

With the current snow, it is impossible for them to go into the mountains to cut firewood and bring some firewood back.

There is firewood for cooking at home, but it is used to make a fire...... I don't have to cook the rice later, so I can't move the firewood.

"Qingyan, will there be charcoal over there at your mother's house? Why don't you ask? "Niujia Stone Road.

"At this time, who has charcoal?" Lu Qingyan didn't think that there was charcoal on her mother's side, "No one thought that it would snow like this, and it is estimated that few families are ready to have charcoal at all, so it is in vain to ask if you ask." ”

Moreover, it was so cold outside, she didn't want to go out.

"How do you know if you know?" Niu Li interjected.

Then he said, "What if, there is?" It is a little bit to be able to ask. ”

"yes!" Niu Jiashi also agreed with his mother's words, "Yan'er, you better go and ask." ”

"Don't go!" Lu Qingyan directly refused, "If you want to go, you go by yourself!" ”

Niu Jiashi tried to persuade her a few more words, but she was not persuaded by anything.

In desperation, Niu Jiashi could only go by himself.

As a result, it didn't take long for him to come back in disgrace.

"What's wrong?" Niu Li asked.

"The Lu family said that they don't have enough charcoal for themselves, how can they lend it to us?" Niu Jiashi spread his hands helplessly.

Niu Li's eyes fell on Lu Qingyan's body, his eyes moved, and he said: "Qingyan, I think that this matter still has to be done by you, after all, it is your mother's family, you go and ask, how much may you give you some charcoal." Anyway, you're also their daughter! If it doesn't hurt you, who does it hurt? As for us, you have also seen it, and you can't ask about it, and even if there is, they will say no. ”

"Yes, Qingyan, you still have to ask about this matter!" Niu Jiashi echoed.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Niu Jiashi persuaded again: "Qingyan, you don't think about us, you have to think about Yang'er, it's okay for us to be cold, but can you bear to see Yang'er cold?" ”

"That's right!" Niu Li also said, "We are adults, and we can hold it, but Yang'er is so small, we may not be able to hold it!" When our charcoal is burned and there is no charcoal, how will Yang'er boil it then! ”

The mother and son chattered a lot in her ear, persuading her in various ways.

Lu Qingyan: "......"

"Okay!"

"I'll go!"

She wasn't compromising with them.

Rather, she did take Yang'er into account.

Seeing that she was finally moved, Niu Li and Niu Jiashi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Qingyan roasted charcoal for a while, then wore a straw hat and went out against the cold wind.

When she returned, she was also empty-handed.

"Why, you didn't ask?" Niu Jiashi asked.

"They said no, how can you give it to me?" Lu Qingyan's expression was very cold.

Originally, my father planned to give some for her to bring back, but the two sisters-in-law objected, saying that their own charcoal was not enough, so why should they share it with others?

My father couldn't help anyone else, so he was silent.

Her mother suggested that she ask the Cai family for it.

After all, the Cai family is Yang'er's grandmother's house.

I went to ask, maybe, for Yang'er's sake, they will give some?

didn't ask anything, but as a result, she came back with a stomach full of anger, and Lu Qingyan was indignant.

"Or, why don't you go and ask the Cai family?" Niu Li's family thought of going with Lu Mu.

"Thinking too much, how could the Cai family give it?" The anger in Lu Qingyan's heart has not disappeared, let her go to Cai's house? "Besides, they don't necessarily have charcoal."

Cai's family, one is busy in the store all day long, the other is idle all day long, doing nothing, where is the time to burn charcoal? It's not good, the Cai family doesn't have as much charcoal as theirs.

Niu Li thought about it and felt that it was too.

Perhaps, the Cai family is worse than theirs!

Thinking about it like this, Niu Li blossomed happily in his heart.

Aren't you rich?

At this time, is it useful to have money?

Even if you have money, you can't buy charcoal, right?

What she didn't expect was ......

The Cai family really "can't buy charcoal", because they don't have to buy it at all!

In addition, some people in the village remembered that Liu Zhuting had gone into the mountains to burn charcoal every day, and then they went to Cai's house to discuss with Cai's family about buying charcoal.

At this time, only the Cai family has charcoal, if you don't buy it from them, who will you buy it from?

Liu Shulin had already thought of this, and divided the stored charcoal into two, keeping part of it for her own use, and selling the rest! Anyway, you can't use it up if you keep it!

However, Liu Shulin adopted a limited quantity, and each family could only buy a certain amount, and if it exceeded, it would not be sold. In this way, everyone can buy some, lest some people buy too much and the rest can't buy it.

As for the price, it is also a bit more expensive than usual.

Of course it won't be too expensive.

It doesn't matter if you sit on the ground and start the price a little, after all, it's a special period.

However, it is not good if it is too expensive to sell in one village.

For a while, the courtyard of the Cai family was crowded into many people, all of whom came to buy charcoal.

Soon, all the charcoal that he planned to keep for sale was sold, and he earned a few taels of silver in total.

"Zhuting, this money is for you."

Liu Shulin gave all the money she earned from selling charcoal to Liu Zhuting.

Liu Zhuting hurriedly shook his head and said, "Sister, you should take it!" ”
