The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 8

After half an hour of rickety driving, Fu Shi and He Tao finally arrived at Liushu Town.After paying a couple of pennies and depositing the ox cart at the place where the cart was sent, the two began to stroll slowly in the market. To be precise, it was He Tao, accompanied by Fu Shi.

Willow Town has fairs on the third, sixth, and ninth days. Of course, the shops are open to welcome customers every day, but only on the fair days will there be villagers from the countryside to sell things.

The first thing He Tao visited was the farm market, and he saw all kinds of street stalls on the side of the road, vegetables and fruits, all kinds of snacks, and whatever was sold at home.He Tao looked at almost every item sold at the stall from the beginning to the end.It’s not that she likes shopping so much—she doesn’t like it at all. In her previous life, shopping was almost purely online. She just wanted to see what was sold here, and what she knew but hadn’t been developed here.As a result, she was disappointed after walking a long circle, and she didn't think of anything.

So He Tao children's shoes hugged Fu Shi's arm sullenly, why couldn't she think of anything when other time-traveling girls could be so shocking?
Being hugged by her, Fu Shi immediately went into a state of stiffness all over his body, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he was holding his breath.

People passing by pointed at the two of them, and He Tao came back to her senses. This was in ancient times, and she actually hugged a man's arm on the street—even if it was her husband, she would be criticized. four.She let go of Fu Shi's arm pretending to be calm, and said loudly, "Master, let's go to the grocery store."

Fu Shi immediately put on a military posture, held his head high and chest out, and replied confidently: "Okay, daughter-in-law!"

The two of them flashed into the grocery store by the roadside, quickly selected seasonings such as salt, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, and oil, and bought some snacks such as melon seeds and pine nut candies.

"Shopkeeper, do you have a bathtub here? It needs a big one." He Tao asked the shopkeeper. In order to vividly express the size of the bucket she needed, she turned around and pointed to Fu Shi and said, "I want one that can fit him in." !"

This sentence hit Fu Shi's excitement, and he cheerfully echoed: "Yes, it's as big as my wife said!"

"Yes, it's inside, please!" The shopkeeper led them to see the living place in the backyard. Not to mention the complete size, there are various materials to choose from.He Tao chose the cheapest cypress wood based on the principle of "diligent and thrifty housekeeping", and then chose two small wooden basins, as well as soap for washing, tooth powder and other items. Of course, she did not forget to buy another big water basin. Cylinder!

In the end, He Tao rummaged through the pile of cosmetics for a long time and chose a box of balm.

Fu Shi was in charge of paying the bill, which cost nearly a tael of silver.

"Daughter-in-law, or I'll carry my things back to the car, and you can go to cloth village by yourself!"

"You can go with me, I always feel uncomfortable by myself." He Tao disagreed.Although she has the memory of the original owner, she still has no idea about letting her walk alone in the crowd. With Fu Shi by her side, she feels at ease.

"Let's put the things here with the shopkeeper for the time being!"

This sentence hit Fu Shi's excitement again, he nodded vigorously: "Okay, daughter-in-law!"

After discussing with the shopkeeper, the two went to Buzhuang together.The original owner's female celebrity is very good. When they are at home, they often embroider small items such as handkerchiefs and purses and sell them to the cloth shop. The two of them went to the same shop that the original owner often visited, and it was also the only cloth shop in Liushu Town.The shop is not big, but it is quite complete with all kinds of items. All kinds of coarse cloth and cotton cloth are piled up for half the room, and silk and satin are carefully stacked on a shelf.

"Fu Shi, I want to make two clothes for you," He Tao pulled Fu Shi's sleeve to let him look at the cloth: "See which color you like."

"Thank you, wife." Fu Shi was very happy, so he told He Tao: "I am very happy."

He Tao is sorry - it was your money, why do you still look grateful, I am under a lot of pressure, okay? !
Fu Shi was happy, but he couldn't tell if he was really allowed to choose. In the end, He Tao decided to tear the navy blue material for him, planning to make thick cotton-padded clothes, thin cotton-padded clothes, and thick coats. , she also chose the same material for the three sets of clothes for herself, and finally bought another piece of white cotton as the inner lining of the underwear - anyway, it is very useful, so I put it away and use it slowly.Then it was called cotton again, and I bought enough needles and threads.

Just as he was about to leave after buying all the things, Lin Xiangxiu, a female clerk who was familiar with the original owner, came.

"He Tao, I haven't seen you here for a long time! You bought so many things?"

He Tao nodded - the original owner really didn't have many friends, and in Rongshu Village, he only had a good time with a girl named Lin Xia. That girl married a shopkeeper last year and went to settle in the county.He Tao felt that she needed a few so-called "girlfriends", and it was too lonely to get along with only Fu Shi.

Lin Xiangxiu's personality is very straightforward, but the original owner is submissive. Instead, she feels that Lin Xiangxiu does not have the reserve that a daughter should have, so she has always been lukewarm.But Lin Xiangxiu was right for He Tao's appetite, so she chatted with Lin Xiangxiu graciously.

Of course, I won't talk about private topics, but I chatted about new embroidery patterns, patterns and so on.At the end of the chat, He Tao made up his mind not to throw away the craft of embroidery, so he bought a bunch of embroidery sheds, handkerchiefs, satin materials, and silk threads of various colors, planning to do some for pocket money when he was free.

When she was about to leave, she realized that Fu Shi was squatting at the door alone, looking sullen. She had a flash of inspiration, and it was rare for her to pull Fu Shi up to Lin Xiangxiu: "Sister Xiangxiu, this is my husband-in-law, surnamed Fu. If I have embroidery, he may send it to me, but you must remember his face!"

"Oh, your husband-in-law looks so mighty!" Lin Xiangxiu responded with a "giggle" smile: "Okay, I will remember!"

Fu Shi immediately smiled and nodded at Lin Xiangxiu.

"By the way, sister Xiangxiu, do you have any rags today, I want to buy some."

He Tao remembered that he could use rags to put together some trinkets, and he could exchange some money.Five cents a bag of rags, He Tao bought them all without looking at them.

Fu Shi "questioned" He Tao angrily: "Daughter-in-law, what are you buying those rags for? It's not that I can't afford fabrics for you. Just tell me what you like, and I'll definitely buy it for you."

As he spoke, he nodded with certainty, expressing his determination.It's not easy for him to get a living daughter-in-law, so naturally he has to treat his daughter-in-law well!

He Tao's heart warmed up again when she heard this, and she gently touched Fu Shi's finger: "I know, I bought those for other purposes."

After the two left the cloth shop, they went to the grocery store to load the groceries they had bought into the bullock cart, and finally went to the butcher shop to buy meat.He Tao feels that her body lacks collagen. At the age of 15, her skin should be smooth and elastic, but now her skin is like rough bark, and she feels uncomfortable even touching it.So, she bought all six pig's trotters from the butcher shop in one go, and chose a bunch of stick bones to cook soup together.Anyway, the river is frozen in this weather, and the meat can be stored for many days.She bought another four catties of pork belly to make braised pork, and finally picked a large piece of suet to cook lard, and filled a basket full.

On the way back to the car drop-off place, He Tao remembered that there were no vegetables at home, so he went back to the farm market and bought a bunch of vegetables, radishes, a big wax gourd and an old pumpkin.

Only then did Fu Shi drive the ox cart and slowly return to Rongshu Village.

There was only a small road in front of the small hut where Fu Shi lived, and the bullock cart could not pass it. He could only park on the main road and let He Tao guard the cart. Fu Shi carried the things back. I just moved back.

After the work was over, the two went to the second uncle's house to return the ox cart, and He Tao forced the second uncle to give him a pack of pine nut candy for his grandchildren to eat, which made Fu Quan sigh with emotion again, saying that he was still a daughter The family was thoughtful and thoughtful, and after speaking, they taught the two people a lesson, telling them not to spend money recklessly, but to plan the use of every penny.

He Tao felt that for Fu Shi, the second uncle Fu Quan was both a father and a mother, which was really hard work, but also respectable.

Thus, Second Uncle Fu Quan became the second elder recognized by He Tao here. As for the first one, of course it is her cheap father!
Although He Fuguo didn't do it well, he was the most selected among the dwarfs, and he stood out from the crowd with a shining golden light.

Who knew that when he was thinking about He Fuguo, he saw him standing on the only way to Fu Shi's house.

"father!"

He Tao waved at him and walked quickly towards him.

"Peach!"

He Fuguo also had a smile all over his face: "Go to the village?"

Fu Shi was stunned, not knowing what to say, and even stopped subconsciously.

He Tao walked a few steps and saw that Fu Shi hadn't followed, ran back and took his hand and dragged him all the way to He Fuguo, then pinched him: "Call me dad!"

Fu Shi patted his head and called out loudly: "Father."

"Hey!"

He Fuguo answered very simply.In fact, he had nothing to do with He Tao, he just wanted to see how she was doing.After meeting him, he felt that although his son-in-law had a bad reputation, he was quite honest, and his daughter looked energetic, so he was relieved.After casually saying a few words to He Tao, he said goodbye and left.

He Tao didn't let go of Fu Shi's hand from the beginning to the end, and asked him after He Fuguo had walked a distance and could no longer hear them, "Are you afraid that my father will dislike you?"

Fu Shi nodded honestly: "My second uncle is the only one in the village who doesn't dislike me."

"My father won't, so he didn't dislike me." He Tao told him what happened at He's house that night.

Fu Shi watched He Tao's expression while listening.He thinks his daughter-in-law is really nice, and he can't say exactly what's good, but he feels very comfortable with her, and he doesn't feel restrained at all, that is, in just two days, he felt something that he couldn't feel anywhere else. , Even with the second uncle who took care of him in every possible way, he didn't feel that way.

Maybe the second uncle is right, this daughter-in-law may be the peerless marriage bestowed on him by the gods, and they should be together.

After saying this, the two returned to the thatched cottage.At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and after a tiring day of shopping and moving things, I boiled hot water as soon as I got home, and then squeezed my feet into a basin, talking and laughing while eating the snacks I just bought After soaking my feet, I went to bed and settled down.

This night, He Tao didn't fuss, she took off her coat very naturally and put her body close to Fu Shi, a big natural stove, how could she let go of it being so warm, so she slept peacefully until dawn again.
