Farm girl is busy making money

Chapter 29
Chapter 29 Winter
There is Zhang Liangji on the top, and a wall ladder on the bottom.

Because Mrs. He didn't allow the people in the second room to read, He Lanshan avoided teaching her three brothers to read outside, which caused a lot of trouble, and only taught them at night when she returned home.

In the blink of an eye, autumn is passing and winter is coming, and the sky is getting colder.

Zhao Shuangxi would often burn a stove with an earthen pot on top, and a few children surrounded the stove, roasting charcoal while silently memorizing the characters taught by He Lanshan, or a few short poems.

When the hot soup in the crock is boiling, scoop up a bowl for each person. There is usually a red date and a small handful of white sugar in the crock. These are the things that Zhao Shuangxi picked up when he was cooking.

Every time the red dates are put into He Lanshan's bowl, the soup has a hint of sweetness, and the whole family enjoys drinking it.

On this day, He Lanshan was carrying a large backpack taller than a person, with pigweed piled on top of it, and Mrs. He just glanced at her when she ran in from the yard.

"Mom, look what good things I brought back!"

After entering the house, He Lanshan unloaded the back basket, removed the pigweed covering it, and underneath were sheets of leather, all of which had been tanned.Most of them are gray rabbit fur, but a snow-white fox fur is particularly eye-catching.

"Ah, did that kid from the Gu family give this to you again?" Zhao Shuangxi's eyebrows lit up, and she was almost used to He Lanshan coming back from Gu Liuyun every now and then.

Occasionally a rabbit leg and occasionally a knife of wild pork, Zhao Shuangxi secretly cooked them in the house to add some meat to the children at home.It's just that I feel a little embarrassed towards the Gu family, and always feel that taking things from others is for nothing.

He Lanshan nodded, knowing that Zhao Shuangxi was going to talk about her, so she hurriedly explained.

It turned out that autumn was coming soon, but Gu Liuyun's mother was a person who could only grow flowers, so He Lanshan called her elder brother and second brother to plant Chinese cabbage for Gu Liuyun's family.

There are not many vegetables in winter, and it is expensive to buy. Only this Chinese cabbage can grow to a weight of four or five catties. Gu Liuyun and his family of three can eat several meals by chopping one cabbage.

"You still did good deeds in love!" Zhao Shuangxi's fingertips scraped He Lanshan's nose.

He Lanshan stuck out her tongue, pretending to be innocent, this is called win-win cooperation.The winter melons planted for his house last time have already grown several, and Gu Liuyun said that some of them are as big as dolls.

In this way, you don’t have to worry about getting tired of eating meat every day. Just add some wax gourd to the broth and stew it together.

Zhao Shuangxi flipped through the leather, and frowned suddenly, "This leather is good, but if mother makes it into a jacket for you to wear out, your grandma will have trouble if she sees it."

"But don't do it, you don't have any new clothes, it's so cold this winter."

As she spoke, she fell into a dilemma, frowning and hesitantly said: "How about changing the padded jacket that mother bought last year to make you smaller, so as not to freeze you."

He Lanshan knew that Zhao Shuangxi's cotton-padded jacket from last year was bought by He Jinyi and brought back, so Mrs. He was very angry because of this, but Zhao Shuangxi only had such a decent cotton-padded jacket in the closet.

She snapped her fingers and thought about it for a while.

"Mom, I thought of it!"

The clothing designs in the previous life were diversified. This kind of fur treatment was either made into a fur or a lining, and the parkas were all made of large pieces of hare fur!
He Lanshan told Zhao Shuangxi how to do it.

After hearing this, Zhao Shuangxi patted her hands together happily, and then touched He Lanshan's head, "My mother's daughter is smart, so if you hide it in the inner layer, your grandma won't find it."

Speaking of which, Zhao Shuangxi shook the five or six gray rabbit skins in his hands, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that this rabbit skin can only be made into one suit."

"The rabbits are very fat in autumn and winter. Brother Liuyun always likes to hunt rabbits. I told him to leave the rabbit skins for us."

"Then I can't take it for nothing this time, mother has to give me money."

He Lanshan nodded, Zhao Shuangxi is simply the most kind person, as long as she gets along well with people, even she herself doesn't have much money, always thinking about whether others will suffer.

At this time, Zhao Shuangxi suddenly picked up the fox fur, and her rough hands carefully stroked the fox fur, and she exclaimed "tsk tsk", "It costs one or two taels in the city." A piece of leather."

"Ah, it's so expensive." He Lanshan didn't expect Gu Liuyun to be so generous, remembering that he specially pushed him over and asked He Lanshan to make a scarf around her, which was very warm.

"Why don't you send it back and pay it back!" Zhao Shuangxi thought again.

"Mother, the most important thing Liuyun's family lacks is leather. It may cost us one or two taels of silver to buy it, but if he sells it to a leather goods merchant, it will cost at most one or two hundred cash. Why don't we send more food in the future?" In the past, his family was short of food, so next time I ask for fish intestines, I will also send them."

"You little clever ghost, fish intestines and vegetables are not worth a hundred Wen."

"Then let's give it a few more times. This fox skin is left for my mother to make a neck wrap. It looks so nice to wrap around. The wives in the city must wear it like this in winter." He Lanshan praised Zhao Shuangxi.

I think she is the mother of four children at a young age, and this age was also a radiant and youthful age in her previous life.

Zhao Shuangxi's eyes lit up, the lady in the city would wear it like this, two ropes came from under the white fur, around the neck like this, and the ropes were fastened with a butterfly buckle, how beautiful it would be nice.

But she thought of Mrs. He, so she stood up and put the fine fox fur on the bottom of the box.

"If you tell your grandma to see it and take it away, it won't be worth it." She murmured.

"Mother, let's do it first. We don't live together with grandma all our lives. Sooner or later we will live separately. When we live apart, mother can wear it."

Looking at her youngest daughter, Zhao Shuangxi felt that she had been saying from time to time recently that she would live separately from Mrs. He, and she was looking forward to it even more in her heart, even looking forward to the early arrival of that day.

Seeing Zhao Shuangxi's eyes, He Lanshan picked up a tree branch and drew circles on the ground with a guilty conscience.

Maybe she was too eager. If she knew that there was a soul from another world living in her core, Zhao Shuangxi wouldn't be scared to death. Let's take it slowly.

Suddenly He Lanshan's body was suspended in the air, and Zhao Shuangxi hugged her up, "Lanshan, you can count every day, your father will be home in twenty days or so."

"Father is coming back soon, that's great." He Lanshan was very happy in her heart. He Jinyi was the family's source of income, so he naturally had the right to speak in the He family. When he came back, their life would be better.

Seeing Zhao Shuangxi's red cheeks, He Lanshan couldn't help jokingly said: "Mother, do you miss your father?"

"You bad girl!" Seeing He Lanshan's narrow smile, Zhao Shuangxi patted her butt lightly.
