Blessed peasant girl has space

Chapter 154 Winter Plan
Before spring came, there were rumors that many people in the neighboring county froze to death.

People shivered from the cold this winter. Tang Dashi was a little thankful that he bought enough charcoal, because rice is afraid of the cold. Now that the price of charcoal in the town has gone up and down, some people in the village can no longer afford charcoal. The whole family slept under the quilt and snuggled up to each other for warmth.

Because the snow is falling too much, the workshop has also stopped for a few days.

Looking at the heavy snow in the sky, Wei Maimiao told her mother that Zhang said, "Fortunately, there are a lot of vegetables in the field this year. There are radishes, sweet potatoes and taro in the cellar. Otherwise, how can we survive this winter?"

Zhang's hands were red from the cold, she breathed a sigh of relief towards them to warm them up a bit, and said, "If it wasn't for your work in the Tang family, which made your brothers have time to work in the fields, how could there be so much to eat?" of?"

The Wei family is poor, Wei Maimiao's eldest brother has gone to serve in the military, and the second and third brothers have not yet married, so life is very tight.

Because Wei Maimiao worked in the Tang family, he had saved a full three taels of silver this year, so he also bought some charcoal, so that people who were cold would not be unable to sleep at night.

"Mother, don't worry!" Wei Changhe said while weaving a basket, "When spring comes, my third brother and I will go to the mountains to cultivate a few acres of land, and then dig a pond to raise a few ducks! By the way, me and The Cheng family agreed to buy three pigs next year!"

"Buy three pigs?" Mrs. Zhang frowned, "Do you think it's easy to raise pigs? Seeing that the Tang family and the Cheng family raise a lot, they also follow suit? The Cheng family has a small forest, while the Tang family has Liushupo and Qingshui Mountain. You can feed pigs with sweet potatoes and taro! Otherwise, do you think you can raise pigweeds alone?"

At this time, the Wei family was sitting together in a room, the door was closed tightly, and a little light came in through a small window.

The window is small, but it also means that cold wind will blow in, so everyone will feel cold.

But if you close the window, you really can't see anything.

The family sat together, Wei Changhe and Wei Changcai were working hard to weave the baskets, thinking that they could go to the town to exchange some money at that time.

Even if you can't exchange money, you can still use it for your own use, which is better than being idle.

"So my second brother and I discussed it. After the next year, we will not go to work on the pier, and we will reclaim a few acres of land at home. I am afraid that there is not much fat in this land just after reclaiming!" Wei Changcai took Zhang's words and said with a smile, "The next door Erxiang's family raised pigs, but they hated to deal with the things in the pigsty, so I discussed with Erxiang's family, and my second brother and I took turns helping them clean up the pigsty, but we have to take the pig manure away!"

"Mother, think about it, the pile of pig manure in Erxiang's house is very fat. Putting it in this wasteland, it may not be possible to raise wheat, millet, and sorghum, but it is still okay to raise taro and sweet potatoes!"

Erxiang's older sister, Daxiang, is said to have married into the county, and Erxiang's parents have been living in the countryside, thinking about returning to their roots.

Although the family is not rich and powerful, they are not short of food and drink.

Erxiang is a daughter's family, and her parents are old, but they want to raise a few more pigs and send them to Daxiang in the county, so most of the farms raise some pigs for food, but the food is bought from outside.

The pigsty in their house is very large, surrounded by thick piles of pig manure.

The Wei family and Er Xiang's family are close, so Wei Changhe and Wei Changcai will use this brain!
Because I heard from Tang Dashi that this pig manure is the best land to grow. This year, the things in the Tang family’s land grow well, so it’s because of pig manure?

"If Erxiang's family agrees, that's fine!" Zhang's face finally showed a little smile, "Our family will be able to live a good life!"

Wei Changhe also chuckled, "That's for sure! When the three pigs are bred and sold next year, they will cost several taels of silver. Then it's time to buy some dowry for my sister!"

Wei Changhe and Wei Changcai knew that with their family like this, there might not be any girls willing to marry and endure hardships, and they didn't want to marry if their family was too poor. After all, marrying a daughter-in-law is not for her to suffer with them!

They didn't get married, but they couldn't hurt their sister.

The boys are older, and the villagers say they are boys, with thick skins, so it's okay to say what you say!
But my younger sister is a daughter's family, if someone talks about it, I'm afraid she will feel uncomfortable.

"Brother!" Wei Maimiao didn't know what the brothers were thinking. Although she was a little shy, she said directly, "Second brother, third brother, don't worry about me, I will save the dowry myself!"

"Next year our family will not only raise three pigs, but also raise more chickens and ducks! We are not afraid that the chickens and ducks will not eat. We will pile up the old leaves together, and when they are rotten, there will be bugs. It is good to feed them to the chickens and ducks! I saw my boss This is how it was done before, the chickens and ducks are raised in the bamboo forest, just let the chickens and ducks eat bugs! The wild grass chickens in the mountains also eat them!"

Wei Maimiao believes that as long as the family is united, they will be able to live well.

Moreover, there are too many girls in the village who are just married, and she is only seventeen years old, so what's the rush?She is now working in the Tang family, and she is considered a rather prominent girl in the village.

It was also because after the accident at home, Wei Maimiao felt even more that even if this married man didn't marry someone who could shelter her from the wind and rain, he should marry someone who could be with her, not someone who would hold her back.

Before, she thought Su Ting was good, but now that she wants to come, who would dare to go to a family like the Su family?
"Listen to my sister!" Wei Changhe smiled. Seeing that his mother was freezing badly, he got up and said, "I'd better light some charcoal fire. It's too cold here, so don't suffer from freezing!"

"Yes!" Wei Maimiao also nodded, "There is enough charcoal fire at home. If you are sick, the money to see a doctor is much more expensive than charcoal!"

Some of the charcoal at home is bought, and some are the leftovers from the trees that were cut down on weekdays and burned out, which is just right for use now.

Mrs. Zhang thought about it for a while, and it was expensive to take the medicine, but keeping warm was the most important thing.

At that time, the Tang family.

Tang Mi has been weaving fire cages in the house for the past few days. The appearance of this kind of fire cage looks like a combination of flower blue and lanterns.There is a mud-fired tile plate inside!Put the charcoal fire in the tile pan and cover it with some ash. It is the most comfortable to bake your hands.

And make the handle higher, and you can also dry clothes on the handle, like rice is now the time to wet the bed, and the trousers you change every day can be dried on it after washing!

No one in this dynasty has seen such a thing as a fire cage, so when Tang Mi made it, the people of the Tang family were very quick.

Soon, the fire cage became the favorite of the women with bad mouths in the village, because the fire cages in the Tang family's grocery store were not expensive, only ten cents each.

Of course, these fire cages were not all made by Tang Mi, but also made by other members of the Tang family.

They were too idle, and wanted to talk to someone, but the weather was cold, and now they had fire cages, and they all carried a fire cage, and then they were warm and talked non-stop.
