The struggle history of dressing up as Gone with the Wind

Chapter 522 Snooping
There are lions near the valley, and everyone can't go up the mountain, so they can only peel chestnuts at home.After two days of hard work, Guo Xiu and Zhao Lan'er finally peeled off the chestnuts.

Zhao Lan'er was sitting in the yard holding a stick and chasing the birds that flew to the yard to eat. Looking at the chestnuts all over the ground, Zhao Laner wondered how happy she was. With the addition of these chestnuts after the autumn harvest, there should be no need to worry about being hungry this winter.

Guo Xiu gathered all the dried chestnuts together and thought about going to the third brother's house to grind them into powder in the afternoon.

"Sister-in-law, we don't have to worry about going hungry this winter."

"Did you go hungry last year?"

"Is that true? But I heard from the second master that many people had one meal a day during the winter last year, and how many of them froze to death!"

"Oh!"

Guo Xiu paused slightly after hearing this; "Isn't winter in the mountains very cold?"

"Well, it's very cold, especially when it's snowing, it's so cold that I can't go out."

"Is there any pit in our valley?"

"pit?"

"Yes, the burn pit will be warmer in winter."

Zhao Lan'er pondered for a moment; "Last year, I seem to have heard the second master talk about pits. I don't know if anyone in our valley knows how to build pits."

Guo Xiu took this matter to heart, thinking that when Cao Shi comes back, let him inquire in the valley, otherwise people will freeze to death in winter. She can imagine how cold it is in the mountains in winter, it may be more than ten minus below zero. Spend.She gathered all the chestnuts together, went into the kitchen and took a clean cloth, spread it on the hay and cut the chestnuts on it, so that it would be easier to grind.

Seeing this, Zhao Laner dropped the wooden stick in her hand and came over to help. The two were cutting chestnuts and Zheng Juan came to the door with the sheepskin. She looked at this scene and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"We want to grind some chestnuts in the afternoon."

"Oh, I'm here to give you the sheepskin. It just needs to dry for a few more days. Give me some of the chili seeds you mentioned."

"Okay!" Guo Xiu took the sheepskin and dried it on the rope, and handed some chili seeds to Zheng Juan.

"Call me when you are grinding chestnuts in the afternoon. One of you is weak and the other is pregnant. Please don't let anything happen to you."

"Aren't you going into the mountain with Zhuzi and the others this afternoon?" Guo Xiu asked curiously while watching her.

"No, we searched the mountain for a day and a half but didn't find a lion. We all wondered if the lion had left."

"Bring the little tiger with you when you go into the mountain again. It's more likely to find a lion with it."

"That's a good notice. I'll tell Zhuzi when the time comes."

Zheng Juan helped them cut chestnuts for a while, and left around noon.

Zhao Lan'er looked at the sister-in-law and laughed jokingly; "I'm really in the hands of the sister-in-law, otherwise this sister Zheng wouldn't take care of me like this these days."

After hearing this, Guo Xiu sighed; "She is indeed a good girl, but it's a pity..."

"Sister-in-law, don't feel sorry for it. I think Miss Zheng will let her brother go sooner or later."

"I hope so! Her arrival reminded me of one thing. We should ship chestnuts to your house! I'm worried that someone will come to exchange pepper seeds for me in the next few days."

"Okay!" Zhao Lan'er nodded immediately when she heard that. After the two cut some chestnuts, they began to transport them to the He family. They were still transporting them when Zheng Juan came to the door.

Seeing Guo Xiu sweating profusely, Zheng Juan hurried forward to help her and asked her to sit on the side to rest. Zhao Lan'er looked down at this scene and laughed.Originally it was a sunny day at noon, but in the afternoon it turned cloudy. Seeing that it was going to rain, Zheng Juan hurried home thinking about drying the chestnuts and wild fruits in the yard.
