Chapter 21 Selling Cloth
"Hey, look at my memory. I was supposed to deliver tofu to your house, but I forgot about it. Sister, what do you use to pretend?"

Yu Xiaoxiao took some water in a crock pot, took a piece of tofu that Mrs. Luo put in a bowl, and put it on the table.

Behind him, Mrs. Luo picked up Bu and said, "Sister Xiao and sister-in-law will ask Tietou to send you the money later."

Yu Xiaoxiao turned around and nodded: "Sure, sister-in-law won't sit down for a while?"

"No, I have to go back."

"Success, I'll send it to my sister-in-law."

Saying that, Yu Xiaoxiao picked up the padded jacket and put it on, and sent Sister Luo out.

Yu Xiaoxiao stood at the gate of the fenced courtyard and watched the person walking quickly into the wind and snow, and when she saw the person walking far away, she was about to go back to the house, when she heard Aunt Li's voice.

Aunt Li's house was a little across from Yu Xiaoxiao's house. Yu Xiaoxiao heard the voice and looked up to see Aunt Li standing in the yard waving at her.

Yu Xiaoxiao was unhappy in her heart but didn't show it on her face, she hurried over and asked in doubt, "What's wrong, Madam?"

"What did the Gang Luo family take? It looks like fabric?"

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and explained: "It's just the fabric. It's not that I have nothing to do at home, so I thought about weaving and selling it to supplement the family. Just now, Sister-in-law Luo came to deliver tofu. I saw it and said I wanted to buy it, so I sold some."

"Cloth! How are you selling it? Are there any more? My aunt also bought some. I haven't made new clothes for my family this year."

Aunt Li couldn't help but raise her voice, obviously very pleasantly surprised.

This year, I ran away from the famine first, and then I didn’t have much money left to buy food. Now I have saved some money, but I am reluctant to spend it all.

Now there are homespun cloth for sale, but it's not like picking up cheap ones.

"There are more than two horses at home, three cents a foot, ma'am, why don't you go to my house and tell me that it's so cold outside."

Yu Xiaoxiao was very helpless, her face froze after only a while after she came out, and she would freeze to death after chatting.

Aunt Li heard this and looked at Yu Xiaoxiao whose face was flushed from the cold, she felt guilty and hurriedly said: "It's the aunt's fault, Xiaoxiao, you go home quickly, the aunt will go there with some money."

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded indiscriminately, and walked home quickly.

The courtyard door was ajar, and Yu Xiaoxiao didn't lock it. She pushed open the door to shake the snow off her body, stomped her feet while patting her hair, and then closed the door and entered the house.

The two children saw Yu Xiaoxiao entering the house covered in snow, Shen Qi hurried over to help pat the snow, Shen Ye took a new bowl and warmed Yu Xiaoxiao's hands with hot water.

It wasn't until Yu Xiaoxiao drank two sips of hot water that she felt that she was not so cold anymore.

It's getting colder and colder now, and the charcoal fire in the house has never stopped, and I don't know when it will snow heavily. Fortunately, everything is prepared at home, otherwise how will I pass this winter.

Aunt Li didn't make Yu Xiaoxiao wait any longer, she came over with a basket after a while.

"Xiaoxiao, the aunt is here."

The voice came directly from outside the house, Yu Xiaoxiao opened the door, helped to pat off the snow on her body, and asked Aunt Li to sit down.

Only then did Aunt Li speak: "Xiaoxiao, you can stretch 60 feet for me, and I'll make a whole body for the younger generation in the family."

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't even touch the chair with her buttocks, so she could only get up and work, saying, "Ma'am, why don't you take all the remaining 70 feet, just now, Mrs. Luo only needs 30 feet, and there are only 70 feet left of this piece of cloth." ruler."

Saying that, Yu Xiaoxiao showed the cloth to Aunt Li.

Aunt Li touched the cloth in her hand curiously, a little tangled, and did not speak for a while.

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't urge her either, because Yu Xiaoxiao had a deep understanding of what it meant to be a penny that stumps a hero.

Aunt Li didn't struggle for long, she gritted her teeth and decided to buy it.

Basically, some craftsmen in the village have accumulated some money in their hands. The family life is not too tight now, and it is okay to buy some extravagant cloth.

Aunt Li took out a heavy cloth bag from her bosom, counted 210 Wen from it, and handed it to Yu Xiaoxiao: "You click, 210 Wen."

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't pretend to be polite, and quickly counted them: "That's right, auntie is just enough."

"That's fine."

As she said so, Mrs. Li kept her eyes on the fabric, and carefully folded the fabric and put it in the basket.

Yu Xiaoxiao put the copper coins under the pillow and said, "Ma'am, if you don't have anything to do at home, why don't you just sit down for a while?"

"to make."

Afterwards, Yu Xiaoxiao and Aunt Li chatted about family matters, and the two children also sat silently warming themselves by the fire.

Yu Xiaoxiao was listening to Aunt Li saying that people in the village listened to gossip, when she heard a voice outside the house again, this time it was a child's voice, and if nothing else happened, it should be the iron head of Mrs. Luo's family who came to send money.

Before Yu Xiaoxiao could move, Shen Ye had already got up to open the door.

Shen Ye welcomed Tie Tou, who was a head shorter than himself, into the room, rinsed the bowl that Mrs. Luo used before, refilled a bowl of hot water, and warmed Tie Tou's hands.

Before Tietou sat down, he quickly handed the cloth bag containing the money to Yu Xiaoxiao: "Aunt Xiao, my mother asked me to bring the money here."

Yu Xiaoxiao took it and counted it, it was exactly 90 Wen. The copper coins continued to be pressed under the pillow, and then returned the cloth pocket to Tietou: "Okay, Auntie accepts it, Tietou, sit down and bake."

Tie Tou sat down obediently, holding a bowl and warming himself by the fire.

Shen Qi moved the small stool, moved towards Tie Tou, and whispered to Tie Tou, Tie Tou was shy at first, but he let go after a while, and the two brats chatted head to head.

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't care, and continued to chat with Aunt Li about the gossip just now.

"Guru~"

I don't know whose stomach is hungry, which attracted everyone's attention. Aunt Li slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, I forgot about it, Xiaoxiao, you have to go home and cook."

Yu Xiaoxiao looked out through the gap in the open window, and there was nothing to see in the vast expanse of whiteness. She nodded and didn't try to keep her. This year was the first year when there wasn't enough food, so she didn't think about keeping anyone to eat at home.

"Okay, ma'am, I'll see you off."

Saying that, Yu Xiaoxiao also stood up.

Tietou is also very sensible, seeing that Mrs. Li is about to leave, she hastened to get up and prepare to go home.

Seeing this posture, Yu Xiaoxiao didn't persuade her, and said to Tietou: "Tietou, you have to go back too, walk slowly on the way, and go home quickly, you know?"

Tie Tou nodded obediently.

So, Yu Xiaoxiao sent the older one and the younger one out, Yu Xiaoxiao sent the two to the gate of the courtyard and watched them, one went home and the other went away.

Only then did she close the fence door and enter the house, Yu Xiaoxiao fully opened the window to let in the air, and then began to cook.

After a simple meal and closing the window, Yu Xiaoxiao took out the canned food that he hadn't finished eating in the morning, and the three of them ate it as dessert.

Just chatting with Aunt Li, Yu Xiaoxiao also chatted out a useful piece of news, that is, the piece of tofu that Mrs. Luo sent was not only to inform the villagers that they can exchange for tofu, but also to repay the villagers for helping build the house. Divided.

Speaking of this, Yu Xiaoxiao also remembered that it was time for her family to repay the affection of the villagers. Now the family has no worries about food and drink, and is not short of money.

The grains bought together are enough to feed for a year, Yu Xiaoxiao is thinking about steaming some steamed buns with miscellaneous grains at home, and it would be enough to send two to the family.
