Chapter 179
"Wear more."

A cotton coat covered her body, and Bai Wei put it on.Said: "I wear a lot, it's just that I was suddenly blown by the wind and it's a bit cold."

After a pause, she said again: "Why, why don't you ask your father why they are at home?"

Fang Hai pursed his lips tightly, and said for a while, "They are relying on you, but don't worry, the old man will leave when his injury heals."

"Ugh……"

Bai Wei sighed: "When we moved that pigsty back then, they had to go back. Otherwise, they still have a place to stay now."

"I'll find a way."

"..."

Last time he said to find a way, and then the chicken was sold.

"Fang Hai, tell me the truth, is it because shopkeeper Wu knows you that he wants to buy our chicken?"

"During the doctor's visit, I heard that he was going to buy chickens. By the way, he said that our family has chickens."

"……Um."

What is Fang Hai's temperament that she doesn't know yet?
If he didn't know that she was worried, how could he have said that?
Really...

"Good."

Bai Wei raised her hand and slapped Fang Hai on the shoulder: "Brother, let's not do that, you idiot who wants to save face and suffer."

"..."

him, idiot?

"For our family's survival, you should ask more about things that are meaningful to our family. For example, who wants to buy cotton? Who wants to buy some medicinal materials? Our family happens to have some, so please sell them more."

Fang Hai nodded, and said casually: "I know someone who wants to buy cotton, but our family doesn't have any cotton."

"Someone really wants to buy cotton?"

Bai Wei grabbed him excitedly: "Fang Hai, how much does he want? How much per catty?"

Fang Hai took her hand and glanced at the room: "The one inside is for buying cotton. As for the price, why don't we ask together?"

"it is good."

Bai Wei couldn't wait.

When I entered the room, I was dumbfounded.

"It's you!"

"It's you!"

The two were silent for a few seconds, then laughed suddenly: "Benefactor, it's great to see you."

Bai Wei smiled: "Hahaha, I thought you would be back a few days later, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."

"no……"

The man scratched his head: "I, I don't have a pannier anymore."

"You know each other?" Fang Hai asked coldly.

The man looked at Fang Hai with a dry smile, then at Bai Wei, and suddenly realized.

"You are husband and wife?!"

"Ah."

Bai Wei asked, "How did you know each other?"

The man smiled and said, "I went to Ni Dalei's house as a guest, and Doctor Fang happened to be there, and then we got to know each other."

"Squeak."

Fang Jiaojiao pushed the door open and interrupted everyone.

She came over with a bowl of ginger soup, and shyly handed it over: "My lord, drink the soup to warm your body."

The man laughed loudly and said, "The girl is really my timely rain."

After all, he took it and drank it down.

"Delicious."

Just as the man was about to put the bowl aside, Fang Jiaojiao reached out with both hands: "My lord, give the bowl to Jiaojiao."

"Jiao... Miss Jiaojiao, thank you."

Fang Jiaojiao turned around in shame when she heard this, and left in small steps.

Bai Wei and Fang Hai turned their heads silently.

The man touched his face in embarrassment, and said, "You two, if you don't mind calling me Brother Shi, I... I just heard that you have cotton, how much do you have?"

Before Bai Wei could speak, the man said again: "Don't worry, the price is not a problem, no matter how much there is, I want them all."

"want?"

Bai Wei blinked her big eyes, she has a lot, she has as many as she wants, but how can she sell them?
Bai Wei pursed her lips, and carefully glanced at the man. He looked upright, so he shouldn't be a bad person.

But, how do you get the cotton?
"I... I have a little bit. If you want a lot, I can help you make up."

"Really?" The man stood up, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you the truth, I bought cotton this time for the soldiers in the north. Snow froze several soldiers to death."

"what?"

Bai Wei and Fang Hai looked at each other with firm eyes: "Do you have proof?"

The man was very surprised, and then took out a sheepskin roll: "This time I raised cotton, with the help of Mr. Lin. I originally planned to buy it directly at the cotton shop, but it was not enough. That's why I went to the village to buy it."

Fang Hai and Bai Wei looked at the certificate, and with the unique official seal, they were sure that it was true.

"We help raise cotton."

"Thank you." The man said gratefully: "With your support, the soldiers on our border will definitely withstand the cold."

Although the cotton that the man bought earlier is already making clothes, it is far from enough.

Each of their generals who came out to buy cotton had a certain amount.

And his was not enough.

"I'm going to find Li Zheng."

Fang Hai walked a few steps, then came back to pull the man: "Together."

Bai Wei locked herself in the room, trying to remember what the witty Lin Qingdai did in her dream.

Oh……

It seems to squander gold and silver recklessly to earn a good name.

A good and wealthy boy who saves the suffering.

But my own is cotton.

And she didn't grow cotton.

How to make space, so as not to arouse suspicion?
Bai Wei thought hard, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

If we can’t find any more excuses, if we are an hour late, the brothers at the border will suffer from the cold for a few more days.

No...

do not care.

Just as Bai Wei opened the door, Aunt Liu and others came to the door one after another.

Aunt Liu was holding a brand new cotton padded jacket: "Wei Niang, I have heard about it. This is a cotton padded jacket I made for my son. Please collect it and hand it over."

"Feel sorry."

Bai Wei shook her head: "The cotton clothes can only be delivered there, there is no way to guarantee that they will be delivered to Brother Liu."

"I know." Aunt Liu touched the cotton-padded coat, tears rolling in the frame: "No matter who the cotton-padded coat is sent to, as long as it is a soldier at the border, anyone can wear it."

"Correct."

Another woman said: "Ms. Yuanyuan, my man has been at the border for a year. At that time he left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to make clothes. Now that I have finished it, please help pass it on. As long as it is worn by soldiers at the border, It's like my man put it on."

"And I."

As one coat after another was piled up at home, the man's eyes were red: "If I had known, if I had known that the clothes would be prepared quickly, I would... I would have said earlier, the task would have been completed a few days earlier, and the soldiers on the border would have been ready sooner." Wear cotton one day."

Bai Wei felt the same way.

Even Fang Jiaojiao didn't have a cotton coat, so she didn't hand in what she treasured.

Everyone has a patriotic heart.More gratitude.

They all know that the soldiers in front are in need, and they will do their best.

Therefore, Li Lizheng teamed up with Lizheng from ten miles and eight townships to organize people in the village to sell cotton.However, instead of selling cotton, the people of Shanghe Village gave cotton-padded clothes as gifts, so they followed suit. It didn't take long for the number of men to be increased by half.

There are a lot of cotton clothes, some are brand new, some are worn, and some have been patched for an unknown number of times. Every piece is clean and stacked neatly.

After the man left, County Magistrate Lin wrote the whole county's people in a memorial, and sent it all the way to the capital. So far, the whole country has known it.

Every household sent things spontaneously.

It's like rice, like shoes and pants. In short, they are all sending warmth to the soldiers who are defending their homes and the country. I hope they can withstand this year's cold wind and prevent the enemy from taking advantage of it.
