Blessed peasant girl has space

Chapter 98

In this dynasty, taxes were paid every year.

Most of them are rough cloth, linen, cotton cloth, and cloth like silk and satin, which are not things that ordinary rural people can buy.

It's not that they can't afford it, but that such clothes are not suitable for work.

Dayue's spinning wheel is an extremely old one, and it can only be cranked by hand. When it is used, it needs a hand wheel and a hand spinning thread, which is not only troublesome but also slow.

"I want to make a spinning wheel!" Tang Mi didn't hide anything from Peng Cui, "I don't know if I can do it well!"

"Spinning wheel, you can go to Sijiao Alley to buy it!" Peng Cui waved her hands quickly when she heard this, "This thing is not easy to make! Don't think your second brother is a carpenter, but this spinning wheel is still a bit troublesome to make!"

"There is a spinning wheel shop in Sijiao Lane. The owner's surname is Hu. He is from Xiahe Village. If you ask him to give you a cheaper price, it should be..."

Peng Cui thought for a while before saying, "It should be a little more than [-] Wen!"

"It's so expensive!" Tang Mi was also taken aback. She thought it was only three or four hundred Wen, but when Peng Cui asked for the price, she was startled.

"Is this still expensive?" Peng Cui frowned, "You don't even know that the spinning wheel sold for a tael of silver before, but now it's cheaper!"

Women in the country will spin thread to earn some spare money when they have nothing to do. For example, there are merchants who collect hemp and cotton threads on the pier, and the price of each bundle of hemp and cotton threads is not low!However, spinning yarn takes time after all, so even if money can be exchanged, the women are too busy.

A quick-witted person like Xia He can make a lot of money selling hemp thread, cotton thread, and cloth a year.

Tang Mi thought for a while, "Sister, I'd better do it myself, I'll give it a try!"

Seeing that she was stubborn, Peng Cui stopped persuading her.

After all, Tang Liang is a carpenter, and he has tools and wood at home, so it's good for Tang Mi to do something in his spare time.

However, Peng Cui went home and told Mrs. Cheng about this, and Mrs. Cheng told Mrs. Qiao that the Tang family was going to do the spinning wheel, which finally fell into Xia He's ears.

Old man Xia was very pleased when he heard that, "This girl from the Xia family is so caring!"

"She has this heart, even if she can't do it, don't take it to heart!"

Xia He heard, "Father, I know! Sister Mi is so skillful, I think she can make it!"

"I've heard people say that the fans she makes are beautiful, and the baskets and baskets she weaves, as well as the lamps you brought to our house a while ago, are all made by her!"

Xia He likes this future sister-in-law very much.

The praise for Tang Mi couldn't be stopped.

"By the way, the Fang family..." Old man Xia suddenly changed the subject, "What did Xiao Xiao tell you when he came back?"

"What else can I say? Why don't I just say that she's doing well!" Xia He pulled back the shattered hair that fell on her ears, revealing the silver earrings on her ears, "It's her business how good she is!"

"Father, I know what you want to ask, I'm not envious! I think it's very good now!"

Although Tang Gu was taciturn, he was very careful.

The pair of silver earrings on Xia He's ears were bought by Tang Gu.

He said that when Xia He laughed, her eyes were like crescent moons, so when she saw this pair of earrings, she bought them out of nowhere.

Xia He was extremely helpless, but her heart was sweet.

She hasn't married into the Tang family yet, and now the Tang family remembers her for everything that is good, even sending twenty catties of pork for thirty cents a catty, not to mention other things!
My sister-in-law is even more busy helping her with the spinning wheel, so why should she be greedy for anything else?Of course not, she is very satisfied with everything now!
Seeing her say this, old man Xia felt relieved a lot.

……

The weather was getting colder and colder, and a few days later, it suddenly snowed heavily at night.

Tang Mi is afraid of the cold, a few days before it snowed, a charcoal fire was already lit in the house.

Fortunately, the family has made a lot of money this year, not only bought enough charcoal, but even replaced the quilt core with new cotton.

Now the bed in Tang Mi's room is covered with a thick two-layer cotton mattress, but she has to sleep for a long time at night to warm her body and feet.

Perhaps this body was too weak before, Tang Mi was going to ask Dr. Wen for some medicine.

As a result, she dared to sit still when she heard someone knocking on the door.

"Three girls!" Jiang said outside the house, "Are you up yet?"

"Mom!" Tang Mi hurriedly got up, "I'm up!"

Tang Mi opened the door, looked at Jiang Shi's expression a bit ugly, "Mother, why are you uncomfortable!"

Mrs. Jiang waved her hands with a smile, then took another breath and said, "I'm not uncomfortable at all, I'm afraid my mother is about to give birth, so hurry up to Wang's house and ask Mrs. Wang to come over!"

Unfortunately, Tang Dashi, Tang Liang, and Tang Gu all went to town today, and wanted to rearrange the shop because of the snow.

During the Chinese New Year, the shop may have to be closed for a few days, so that the family can have a good New Year.

In the end, Jiang Shi didn't expect that as soon as her husband left with her son, her stomach began to hurt.

Fortunately, she is not the first child, so live on.

"Mother..." Tang Mi hurriedly supported Jiang Shi to the main room, "You rest!"

"Little book, little book..."

Tang Mi called his younger brother who was reading again, "Go and boil some hot water, I'll be right back!"

"Don't worry!" Seeing Tang Mi flustered, Mrs. Jiang comforted her, "I'll give birth in a while, don't be nervous!"

Tang Mi: "..."

Jiang shi was calm, but Tang Mi knew that no matter how many times this woman gave birth, every time she gave birth was very dangerous.

She was indeed panicked.

After comforting Jiang Shi, she went to Li's house.

It just so happened that both Cheng and Peng Cui were at home.

When she learned that Mrs. Jiang was going to have a baby, Mrs. Cheng asked her eldest son to go to the town to find Tang Dashi, and asked her second son to go to Mrs. Wang's house to find Mrs. Wang!
"It's snowing too much, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while!" Cheng said, "Sister Mi, I'll go to your house to take care of your mother first, and you can ask Doctor Wen to get some medicine, just in case! "

Tang Mi nodded.

It was the first time for Peng Cui to see Tang Mi in such a panic, and she comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be nervous, Aunt Jiang is not the first child, it will go well!"

After speaking, Peng Cui, reminded by her mother-in-law, took some brown sugar and eggs, and then went to Tang's house.

Tang Mi also went to the next door, and called softly outside the courtyard, "Doctor Wen? Are you there?"

As a result, not only did Dr. Wen not respond, even Wen Jiu, who would usually come out happily to hear her voice, didn't speak.

Tang Mi frowned, and called again, "Doctor Wen?"

Wen Xiuming still did not respond.

On weekdays, Tang Mi would not rush open the courtyard door and walk in.

But at this time, she was also worried that something would happen to her mother, so she pushed open the courtyard door without thinking much, and walked towards Wen Xiuming's room.

As soon as she walked in, she heard Wen Xiuming lower her voice and say, "What on earth is your sister thinking? She left Xiaojiu and left, so she didn't intend to recognize this child!"

"Will she...will she be responsible for me?"
