Chapter 10 A small fortune!
"Sister-in-law, look! There are a lot of good things in this car!"

Yang Lihua hugged Zhuzhu and came forward. She only took one look and told Tai Jiye, "You wait here and watch carefully. I will secretly go back and ask your eldest and second brothers to help."

Tai Jiye nodded quickly.

Zhuzhu didn't know what mother and third uncle were planning, so she stretched out her little hand and rushed towards the box of snacks.

"each time!"

Tai Jiye quickly grabbed two pieces of snacks, stuffed them into his niece's arms, and said with a smile: "Zhuzhu hurry home, wait for third uncle to bring you good things back."

Zhuzhu smiled happily, her little white teeth shining brightly.

Yang Lihua walked forward quickly, fearing that when her daughter opened her mouth to eat snacks, the cold wind would be poured into her stomach. Just as she was about to coax her a few words, she saw her daughter's little hands grasping the snacks firmly.

In the Tai family yard, Mr. Tai and others have already left.

The old man sat at the door and clicked the empty cigarette pot, his face was very bad.

Tai Jizong, his wife and a few boys did not dare to dissuade him, so they quietly found work and were busy.

On the contrary, Tai Jizu was worried that his wife and daughter hadn't come back, so he went to the door to look around from time to time.

After finally getting him back, he hurriedly opened the door to pick up his daughter, and complained, "Why have you been gone for so long? It's too cold outside, be careful not to damage Zhuzhu."

As a result, Zhuzhu kicked her little fat legs and got down anxiously.

Tai Jizu was afraid that he would drop his precious daughter, so he quickly put her down.

Holding the dim sum in her hand, Zhu Zhu ran towards Old Master Tai, "Grandpa, time!"

Mr. Tai was hugged by his granddaughter, and his frown opened, "Eat Zhuzhu, grandpa smokes..."

Halfway through the conversation, he remembered and asked, "Where do you get dim sum here?"

Yang Lihua choked in the cold wind, and as soon as she recovered, she told the story again.

The whole family immediately became excited and looked at the old man together.

The old man thought for a while and said: "Boss, the second brother and the boys put the baskets on their backs. When others saw it, they said they were going to chop wood and find some food.

"If there is a big item that is difficult to get back, we should bury it in the snow and pick it up at night."

"Yes, father!" Tai Jizu hurriedly brought back his younger brother and the boys to prepare, and then went out quickly.

Tai Jiye's feet were so cold that they were numb. He finally found his brother and nephews and hurriedly led them to empty the carriage.

The entire carriage could not be taken away, so the family pushed the snow cover tightly.

Fortunately, the weather was so cold that every household in the village had a hard time. They had to eat two gruels a day, neither full nor cold.

Anyone who can cat in the house will never go out.

No one will notice that the Tai family has made a "small fortune" quietly!
When it got dark, the old man went out in person and took his children and grandchildren to dismantle the carriage.

Tai Jiye does odd jobs every year, has learned some carpentry work, and has a few tools, which are of great help at this time.

But even so, the whole family, young and old, sat in the main room around the brazier and it took them a long time to stop shivering.

Tai Jizu couldn't help but ask, "My dear, can you use the things you brought back?"

"Yes, yes!" Yang Lihua said.

She and Liu Dongniang have already counted, and the sister-in-law is very happy.

Wealthy people are naturally very well prepared for going out in winter.

All the good things in the wagon were taken away, but there were enough odds and ends to surprise.

The carriage was covered with eight catties of thick cotton wadding, covered with ten catties of cotton quilts, covered with seventy to eighty percent new fine cloth.

There are also four large square pillows, which are also sewn with cyan muslin and filled with cotton.

A copper stove the size of a small pottery pot, which can be used to burn charcoal on the bottom and tea on the top.There are hollow patterns carved all around, which is very delicate.

In the storage compartment under the carriage, there were ten catties of white rice, five catties of millet, and a jar of dried meat floss. They must have been the materials they planned to make a temporary meal for their children on the way.

In addition, there are five or six kilograms of fine silver charcoal, an [-]% new rabbit skin muff, and two boxes of broken snacks!

In the eyes of wealthy people, these are simple items that can be thrown away at will.

For today's Tai family, it is a rare harvest and treasure!

Zhuzhu was so happy that she twisted her chubby little body and crawled between the quilts.

Seeing her family come in, she was even more excited.

In the past two nights, every time she woke up, the mother would put the quilt on her body, fearing that she would be cold.

But mother will also be cold!

These quilts are so warm, much thicker than those at home!

They are all soft cotton!
Mom can make a big coat and wear it warmly!

She struggled to pull the quilt, trying to put it on her mother.

It's a pity, how could she move it, her tired face flushed, the quilt moved less than two inches, and finally she sat down on Kang Yan'er with her tired butt!
Zhuzhu rubbed her little butt aggrievedly, turned her head to look at her mother, her big eyes were watery, and she complained softly, "It hurts!"

Everyone laughed when they saw it, and they didn't care about the things on the kang, so they hurried forward to coax the milk dumplings.

"Zhuzhu doesn't hurt, brother will help you!"

"Zhuzhu don't cry, grandpa will beat it for you!"

"Come on, Mom, hug me!"

Zhuzhu threw herself into her mother's arms, looked at her family and kicked her calves with a smile.

Yang Lihua gently kissed her daughter's forehead, her heart became sweet and soft, and she praised, "Mother's pearl is so filial!"

After that, she asked Mr. Xiang, "Dad, that rabbit skin muff is just the right size. I want to take it apart and make a waistcoat for Zhuzhu."

The old man naturally said yes and said, "You are the daughter-in-law of the house, you can arrange these things."

Yang Lihua glanced at her sister-in-law and saw that Liu Dongniang didn't seem to mind.

She started talking. After all, she knew everything in her mind just now when she was sorting things out.

"Okay, the quilt and pillows combined can remove nearly [-] catties of cotton. I plan to refurbish the jackets and trousers of the family and add these good cottons.

"In addition, if these quilt tops are ironed, they can be transformed into three good clothes. The father, the second brother, and the third brother are all walking around a lot, so it is not easy to wear them if they are too shabby. If there is any cotton left, use the father's quilt Change it too.”

Everyone nodded, but the old man waved his hand, "My quilt is warm enough, so give it to Yongning. This kid always coughs from the cold at night!"

Tai Yongning shook his head vigorously, trying to refuse, but was pushed down by the old man.

"Be obedient, if you suffer from cold, the family will ask a doctor to prescribe medicine!"

Only then did Tai Yongning shut his mouth, with a guilty expression on his face, because his legs had already caused a lot of trouble to the family on weekdays.

Yang Lihua checked the copper stove and silver charcoal again, and pushed them in front of Tai Jiye.

"When the third brother returns to the city, he will take these two things and sell them. The money he gets will be used to plant flowers at home in the spring."

Tai Jiye's eyes were so bright that he nodded quickly.

It wasn't that he wanted to be greedy, but he was naturally interested in business, so he patted his chest hard.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, leave this to me, I can sell it for a good price if I keep it!"

The old man glared at his son, but he didn't mention gambling again.

The remaining snacks are put together with white rice, millet, etc.

The boys watched eagerly, and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
