Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 217 Luoxue, buy a horse (3)
Fushun was so busy that he put a cartful of charcoal in the warehouse behind the stove, and the family would go there to get it when they needed it, so that it would be warmer at night.

"It's really cold this day, I'll ask your aunt Zhang to cook some hot soup at night, otherwise this dish will be cold after frying."

Mother Liu glanced at the three sisters. Recently, everyone eats in the front yard. Otherwise, it will be warm and not so delicious when they are sent to the backyard in a food box. For dinner, I will stew two fish and drink some fresh fish. Soup.

Qingli opened the curtain and saw Fushun busy. Now he has to stay at Mo's house sooner or later, and only waits for the night to go home. After such a toss every day, the family members have to take a bullock cart when they go out, which is very slow. Qingli especially wanted to have a carriage, otherwise the cows would not move when the snow fell, and the journey from the village to the town would take a long time.

"Mom, why don't we buy a carriage? The road will be difficult to walk when it snows, the ox cart is really too slow!"

Qingli took a peek at her mother's expression, and seeing her thinking expression, she felt that there was a way to do this, and said persistently, "With a carriage, it is convenient for our family to go anywhere, even if we go to Fengyang City, there will be no delay. It's been a long time, mother, you go to grandma's house a lot sooner."

"Our family has always wanted to buy a horse and asked someone to open the carriage at the back, but your father said that our new house would be eye-catching enough. If we want to buy a horse-drawn carriage, it will be in the village..."

Mrs. Liu was a little hesitant. She still wanted to keep a low profile. After all, she had a lot of money, and she was afraid of being missed. With so many jewelry, any one of them would be worth 2000 taels of silver.

"Mother, our family has a new house in the town, and we will open a shop in the future. It will be known sooner or later, so it's useless to keep a low profile. It's already very conspicuous. Anyway, they don't know what's going on with our house. Why don't we just say we found it in the mountains? A wild ginseng sold for a lot of silver."

The mountains in the village are full of treasures, and there are also some valuable medicinal materials such as ginseng. The villagers have also picked them, but they are only a few decades old, and they bought more than a dozen taels of silver. They have never seen the big ones, but there are really some. , this is just an excuse.Now the main research is to buy a carriage, not whether there are fine wild ginseng on the hills in the village.

"That's an excuse. I'll ask your father. I think our family really needs a carriage."

Mrs. Liu nodded, and quickly lifted the curtain to go to the backyard to discuss with her father, Mo Ruhu. The second sister gave Qingli a thumbs up and said, "Little sister, you are the only one who has more ideas at home."

"Hey, Second Sister, I don't want to take an ox cart. It's too slow. There is only a shed on the ox cart. It's too cold in winter and there's no wind protection."

Qingli also listed a series of benefits of carriages. Since riding in carriages a few times, her body has become delicate, and she dislikes the slow-moving ox carts.

After a while, mother hurried over again, with a smile on her face, rubbing her hands together, "Your father agreed, saying that we will go back by carriage and carriage, and go to the cattle and horse market early tomorrow morning to choose. "

The second sister, Qing Qiang, saw that her mother was freezing her hands, so she also poured a cup of hot tea, and told about the fur that Zhao Wanchun sent. There were three exquisite hand stoves inside, and with a little charcoal fire, they could warm her hands.

Because I want to drink fish soup at night, Mrs. Zhang was going to go fishing in the backyard early with a net bag. The mother called her to stop her and asked him to catch one more and bring it home to Fushun. There is nothing at home today, so let him go back early. Home.

The cold wind blowing outside the window rustled the paper on the window, it took only ten days, and the temperature almost dropped to below zero. The winter in Xiaofeng County was particularly hard at the beginning. Qingli wanted to go back now If you don’t come out of the space, you can plant some vegetables next to the medicine garden in the space to eat, and it’s also good to have a toothpaste once in a while.

Xiao Ling has nothing to do all day long, eats and sleeps in the space, eats and eats after sleeping, it likes meat now, it either eats sauced meat or shouts to eat chicken drumsticks all day long, there is not much stock left in the space, she wants In the past two days, I have been thinking about going out to buy some necessary items, so I can save money and go back to the village, and I can’t buy what I want to eat.

The whole family was sweating after eating this meal in the evening, drank a few bowls of fresh and smooth fish soup, and ate spicy tofu made by Mrs. Zhang. Grandpa also drank a little wine to drive away the cold. Now grandma is in bed all day He and the house have not gone out.

"Mom, the house in the village is about to be built, but you can't pull off the acupuncture. The doctor said it will take a month or so, and you can't go back to the village for the time being. The child's mother bought a charcoal basin today, so it won't be so cold at night. "

Father Mo Ruhu saw that grandma was wearing a thick cotton padded coat. When she was old, she was very afraid of the cold, and her hands and feet were cold at night. He was worried, so he answered.The village is too far away, even if you pay more money, the doctor girl will not have time to come to the door, so she has to stay in the town for a while.

"It's nothing. I've laid out a thick mattress and a hot water bottle made of sheepskin. I put it under my feet at night, and it's not that cold."

The treatment for more than a month has already achieved great results. Although the cure of the illness for many years did not happen overnight, she can get off the kang now, and she can go out for a walk from time to time. contented.

"Well, mother, I have to buy some cotton. The house is finished and there is no new bedding. I will buy a few beds then."

Mother Liu and grandma talked about what they went shopping today, and they also said that they wanted to buy a carriage at home. The ox cart was too slow and sometimes it was inconvenient.

Grandma is not a domineering person, and she will not interfere with the life of her son's family. She has no objection to buying a carriage, as long as the family has enough money.The Liu family next door moved out, and the original custom-made furniture was also smashed by the Xu family's gangsters. The Qingli family hired a carpenter from the neighboring village to do it again, and it was almost finished.

The days go by really fast, and it is only two months before the twelfth lunar month. Now everyone in the village is working hard. The men go out to work, and the women are at home making nets and doing some chores in exchange for some work. copper plate.

In winter, it gets dark very early. By the time the elder brother and the third brother leave school, it is already dark and no one can be seen. Lanterns are also hung on the porch of Qingli's house. She finished washing early and waited. Aunt Zhang came in to deliver charcoal and a charcoal basin.

"Miss Si, I've lit this charcoal basin for you, just put it on once before going to bed."

Aunt Zhang came into the house after a while, put the charcoal basin away, and gave her a sheepskin hot water bottle to put in the quilt to warm her feet at night.In such a cold day, it stands to reason that two people would sleep together so that they wouldn't feel so cold, but Qingli had to enter the space in the middle of the night, so she rejected her second sister several times, and finally the second sister slept with her cousin Mo Qingju.

After Mrs. Zhang left, Qingli extinguished the oil lamp. Listening to the wind whistling outside, she felt cold all over. Even though there was a charcoal basin, she still felt cold. In the era without heating and air conditioning, the temperature was the same as that in the Northeast in the previous life, and the windows were still open. How did these ancient peoples endure without glass.

Slipping into the space, the temperature was so comfortable, Qingli took off her cotton jacket and trousers, wandered around the space, and went to look for Xiaoling under the fruit tree on the hillside.
