Traveling through the barren years, picking up space, picking up food, drinking and picking up husba

Chapter 34

But now seeing the Cen family take out tens of taels of silver to take down the house without blinking an eye, the Zhuang family's heart is pounding.

Especially Mrs. Qi, thinking of her petty warning to her daughter-in-law not to help her natal family yesterday, her old face became hot.

"Then, are you going to move today?" Mrs. Qi wiped her clothes with her hands.

"That's right, mother, I want to settle down sooner after I've moved out early." Mrs. Cen smiled in her creases.

Cen Zhaojuan is so thoughtful, her natal family has a home, she is happy, she opened her mouth and said, "Mother, I will help you clean up."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Qi cough heavily, and pinched Cen Zhaojuan.

Cen Abao blinked his big eyes, and Mrs. Cen also looked into her eyes. She knew what was going on as soon as she turned her old-fashioned eyes. She couldn't help but said, "Why do you help me? I have two children to talk to, don't you know? Go back and serve your baby You man go."

Mrs. Cen directed her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren to carry and drag things out.

Cen Abao's small eyes kept sweeping at Mrs. Cen.

Mrs. Cen noticed it, and changed the sack from the left shoulder to the right shoulder, so that she could be more brisk: "I want to ask grandma why you don't ask your aunt to help? Guess, my dear grandson."

Cen Abao's eyes rolled violently, and he said slowly: "It is said that the house we bought is a haunted house, and there will be bad luck. My aunt's mother-in-law is afraid that my aunt will be affected by bad luck, and then the family will be affected later."

"That's right, my darling grandson is really a smart kid." Old Madam Cen squinted and smiled: "This girl is married, that's how it is. She has to follow her husband's family for everything, and her mother's family is a bit of an outsider."

Hearing the sadness in Nai's voice, Cen Abao hurriedly grabbed Old Madam Cen's arm: "Nanny, Abao doesn't marry."

"You're talking nonsense, how can you not get married?"

Cen Abao giggled: "I'll find a son-in-law who comes to visit."

Mrs. Cen and Boss Cen were all amused.

Qi Zeyao, who was following along, blushed.

The road was a bit far, but he was energetic, so he put the burden outside the courtyard.

Granny Cen's eyes turned red, and she muttered: "I'm settled, I'm settled."

"This is our home, work hard and be serious."

"Eh."

The Cen family was in full swing, and they used a broom made of branches to sweep the inside and outside of the house and the yard clean, sweeping up the dirty things into a pile.

Cen Abao raised his head and suggested to Boss Cen: "Father, even though it is summer, there is still wind, and it blows all over the place after a while. First, the sweeping is for nothing, and second, the villagers will not be happy about it."

"What is my daughter saying?" Boss Cen also found out, even though her daughter is young, she has a good brain.

Cen Abao pointed to a board cart: "Father, board carts are not very useful anymore. Instead of lighting a fire to start a stove, it is better to make a waste box. Make the board cart into a big wooden box, like the box of a theater troupe. Put a cover on it that can be flipped back and forth, and we will use that to hold the dirt in the future."

The Cen family's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they hurriedly packed a litter box.

This is what Cen Abao saw in the "Encyclopedia".

The litter box is placed on the right hand side after about fifty steps out of the yard, and I will ask the second child to write a note later.

Two yards, two yards next to each other, one big yard and two small yards.

The big yard corresponds to four houses and one firewood house, the small yard corresponds to two houses and one firewood house, and the other small yard corresponds to fields and pools.

This pool is very special, rectangular, a bit like a pig trough, dirty inside, full of scale and moss, and there is a round well next to the pool, and the well is rusted.

After working for a whole day, I finally cleaned up the inside and outside of the mud, cobwebs, and dust.

"The house is cleaned up and it's new." Mrs. Cen muttered: "The house is still full of dust and dust. In such a place, use an empty yellow clay pot to scoop up some water and sprinkle it on the ground."

"Don't live in the house today, just be careful, buy some burnt paper to give away, and then buy hanging cannons and Bengbeng." Don't look at Mrs. Cen, she is in awe of this matter.

In the next night, the Cen's family laid out the meadow again and guarded their courtyard to sleep all night.

It was not yet dawn, and the Cen family members tacitly opened their eyes and couldn't sleep. They only muttered one thing: Why is it not dawn yet, so that they can go to the city.

The Cen family, who couldn't sleep, simply got up and wiped the inside and outside, and their hands were soaked.

It can be regarded as waiting for the morning, and the old lady Cen took the eldest son Cen, the eldest grandson Cen Sheng, the second grandson Cen Arun, the youngest granddaughter and Qi Zeyao to the town, and let the second son Cen guard the house.

They walked with great energy. They first inquired about firecrackers and burning paper, and bought them and put them in the straw basket behind them.

"Yo ho, I counted my fingers, and there are quite a lot of things to buy. Bedding, pillows, food, vegetables, oil paper for the windows, and pots and pans made by Marlborom are no longer available. I have to prepare some of those things." Granny Cen counted with her fingers.

"Grandma, why don't we buy a mule cart, it will be used sooner or later, and we have to push the cart now." Cen Abao persuaded.

Well, if you don’t ask, you don’t know. If you ask, you will be shocked.

A mule, hey, it’s still not a very strong mule, and it’s only five pennies if you don’t count the car, and a little more.

The usual money is one thousand Wen, which is one tael of silver.

A mule costs nearly five and a half taels of silver, and it costs nearly eight taels of silver to ride a car.

The old lady Cen's lips trembled when she heard it: "I can't do it, it's too expensive."

She bent down and said to Cen Abao in a low voice: "My dear grandson, don't think we have a little money, but we can't handle the large number of people in the family. If you loosen your hand, it will disappear with a stretch. Hold it up first, and don't buy a mule." .”

"Okay." Cen Abao smiled, but he was sensible.

Then I went to the shop to ask about the quilt, oh, my heart hurts, a bed of quilt plus pillows costs one and a half taels of silver, if it is all for the living family, it will cost nearly ten taels of silver.

The old lady Cen opened her mouth, and Abao Cen answered the old lady Cen's words: "Grandma, Abao knows, stand up first."

"It also needs to be covered, so you can directly sleep on the hard bed." Mrs. Cen counted with her fingers: "Pull some cheap cloth, buy some needles and threads, and buy some willow catkins from private collections to do it yourself."

People are different.

Farmers like them cover quilts?Ha, wait a minute, a quilt has to catch up with half a year's rations for the living family.

So I stuffed some reed flowers, willow catkins, cattail grass, wool or duck feathers into the quilt if possible.

Like pots and pans?
Well, don't look at the bowls and chopsticks inlaid with beautiful lace, it's too expensive.

The guy who eats is big enough to hold it, but it’s not enough to be strong, so what are you doing with those useless ones.

Although small fishing villages can grow fields and vegetables, they can't pop up overnight, right?

Right now I have to buy grain, forget about peeled and polished rice, I can only eat some beans, rice, and grains.

After all the calculations, the eleven people bought nearly 30 taels of grain for a month. The old lady Cen was in pain, her heart was bleeding, and she asked, "What else?"
