Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 6

After five or six days, Su Qinghe obviously felt that the temperature had dropped. When she went outside in the morning, the wet dew on the leaves had long been replaced by patches of hoarfrost.As Su Qinghe expected before, there were no cotton clothes at all, and all the people just added a few layers of linen clothes.

Su Qinghe wanted to cry, but she couldn't say anything to comfort herself when she traveled just now.Although the humanities and customs are very similar to her hometown, she is satisfied that she does not need to learn the dialect again, but there is a shortage of various materials.

It would be great if this village was close to the mountains, where they could go hunting in winter and get some furs to make winter clothes.However, there is not even a hunting place here, and there are some for sale in the town, but even if the Su family went bankrupt, they couldn't get a suit of clothes that Su Qinghe could wear.

The worried Su Qinghe didn't sleep well for several days, and it was getting colder and colder at night, and the quilt she was covering couldn't stop the cold.But before the peanuts could be sold, and there was no linen to make a new quilt, she could only endure it.

"Little sister, didn't you say you were going to go fishing? Yang Ziyue and I made an appointment, let's go fishing by the river today." Su Zhian saw that the little girl was not happy for a few days, so he tried to tease her, and the work at home was almost over. , The wheat seeds have been sown, and the rest of the time, it's time for cat winter.

Su Qinghe complied wearily, and followed Su Zhian to the river.There was another round of barking on the road, and finally, there were more than ten people who reached the riverside. Xiaogouzi led his sister, Dahu and Xiaohu brothers, and many of them were unknown to Su Qinghe.

A group of people busily divided into two teams, one team went to look for wild duck eggs, and the other team went fishing.Su Qinghe squatted beside her elder brother at home, staring at the river in a daze, how would she spend winter?It's definitely not enough to just fill winter clothes with grass, right?

"Wild duck!" Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard a child shout. Su Qinghe looked up and saw a dusty thing flying over the water. A group of them were sitting and fishing, but they couldn't sit still for a long time. The children immediately became overwhelmed and poked at the wild duck with their own fishing rods.

But the wild ducks are not stupid, they fly fast, and they are still splashing water under their feet, but in the blink of an eye, they are on the other side of the river. The river is at least ten meters wide, and there are not many children in winter. The one who dared to go into the water could only watch the wild duck fly away.

But Su Qinghe's eyes lit up instantly.Without cotton, we have duck down.But as soon as this idea came up, Su Qinghe became depressed again. The few chickens in her family were obviously not enough. It was possible to collect chickens and ducks from the whole village, but what excuse was used to collect them?
If one is not careful, others will say, oops, the little girl of Su Jingsen's family has gone crazy.A crazy girl, will she marry in the future?
Su Qinghe almost died of depression, and deeply felt that she was definitely the most useless time-traveling girl.When reading novels, the time-traveling woman can improve her life in the past three to five days. Why is it her turn? It has been a month and her life has not improved at all?
Until now, I have to worry about how to survive the winter.

"Second brother, this reed catkin is much softer than grass, why doesn't anyone use it to make clothes and mattresses?" Su Qinghe looked at the catkin not far away, stretched out her hand to pat Su Zhian's arm, and asked curiously.

Yang Zi was sitting on the side, and when he heard this, he immediately burst out laughing: "Qing He, are you stupid? How can this thing be made into clothes? It's not warm to wear after making clothes, it can only be used as a pillow. "

Su Qinghe rolled his eyes at him, and continued to be in a daze.She has long thought that Luxu can't make clothes, okay?The general public is smart. If this thing can be made into clothes, it is guaranteed to have been picked.Now that such a large area is untouched, it must not be used.

She asked, but it was just to make herself hopeless.

In the end how to survive the winter?
"Come on, I'm hooked!" Su Qinghe was thinking, but she still didn't forget to watch her second brother fishing. Seeing that the fishing line moved, she immediately reminded him in a low voice. Son, Yang Zi nodded: "Hurry up and lift the fishing rod."

Su Zhi'an immediately raised his hand and swung the fishing rod up. As a result, the hook was empty.Su Qinghe was disappointed, and Su Zhian was also disappointed. Yang Zi comforted the two brothers and sisters: "It's probably because the movement was too slow, so the fish finished eating the bait, so hurry up next time."

Su Zhian was taught and started fishing again.

"Xiao He, have you caught any fish?" Su Qinghe was about to continue to be in a daze, when she suddenly heard the voice of her eldest brother Su Zhiping from the side of the road, and quickly turned around: "No, is your eldest brother coming to play too?"

"I'm going to grandpa's house, will you go?" Su Zhiping asked with a smile, Su Qinghe nodded quickly, these days she has already recognized everyone in the family, grandparents are very kind people, although a little It's a little eccentric, but there are five fingers on the hand, and they are not the same length.

"Second brother, eldest brother and I went to grandparents' house." Su Qinghe turned her head to greet Su Zhian, and followed Su Zhiping to the old house.The Su family has many sons, and Grandma Su will give birth. Except for the first one who is a daughter, the remaining five are sons. Su Jingsen is the fourth, with three older brothers on top and one younger brother on bottom.

The uncle is silent and honest, the second uncle is quick-witted, the third uncle is a little lazy, and the fifth uncle is the hope of his grandparents. He studied in his early years and passed the exam to be a scholar, and then married the only daughter of a bookstore owner in the town. The top is not enough, but the bottom is more than enough.

Grandpa Su and Grandma Su were drying peanuts at home. They were very happy to see the old couple Su Zhiping and Su Qinghe. Grandma Su hurried into the house to get some snacks: "Your aunt came over a few days ago and brought some snacks. I will leave some for you as well." Have a little, eat quickly."

The aunt of the Su family married someone from the next door village, and that person cooks delicious food. The people in the nearby villages always invite him to sit at the banquet when they have weddings and funerals, so the life of the aunt of the Su family is also quite good. of.

It's just that Aunt Su's fate is not very good, just the opposite of Grandma Su. In the first half of her life, she gave birth to four daughters in a row, and her eldest uncle was the only child, so Aunt Su's life in front of her in-laws was not easy.Fortunately, I just had a son a few years ago, who looks like an eyeball.

"Is the land in Xiaoan's house cleared?" Grandpa Su asked from the side, and Su Zhian nodded: "Well, it's all done, and grandpa's place is also done, right? My father also said that he will come over to repair it for grandpa in a while." Where's the chicken coop?"

"Well, it's all done. When your father comes to repair the chicken coop, ask him to bring some reed poles, and I'll tie them up." Grandpa Su said with a smile, Su Zhiping nodded in agreement, and talked for a while Gossip before talking about the ultimate goal: "Grandpa, my father said to use an ox cart. Our peanuts are dried and will be pulled to the town to sell."

"It's all done?" Grandpa Su asked again, and Su Zhiping nodded again: "It's all done."

"Well, when is your father going to go?" Grandpa Su spread out the peanuts, then got up and sat on the small bench, looking sideways at Su Zhiping.Su Zhiping squatted aside and said: "Go tomorrow, tomorrow is the big market, my father said I just bought some linen."

"Then let your father come over to drive the car tomorrow, and sell my peanuts by the way. Haven't you sold the ones from your uncle's house?" Grandpa Su narrowed his eyes, thought for a while and said, Su Zhiping continued to nod: "No , the uncle said to go to sell with us, and tomorrow, the eldest aunt, the eldest sister, the second sister, and the eldest brother all want to go to the market to see."

"Okay, then come and drive the car tomorrow. Your grandma also has something to buy, so you go together." Grandpa Su finalized the final result, and Su Zhiping agreed. Seeing that Grandpa Su's house still had a little work, he helped clean it up.

Even the unsteady small bench was tidied up before taking Su Qinghe home.Grandma Su was very reluctant. The sons in the family had separated, and they lived as an old couple. The house was very quiet on weekdays. It was hard for the two younger ones to come, and then they left again.

"Xiaohe, come to grandma's house to play with your fourth sister when you have time, and grandma will cook delicious food for you." Grandma Su dragged Su Qinghe and urged, Su Qinghe nodded repeatedly: "Grandma, I will definitely come every day from now on. "

"Hey, good." Grandma Su smiled, watched Su Zhiping take Su Qinghe away, and then turned to go home: "Old man, tell me, should we take turns living with our son in the future? Toss for a few years."

"Let's talk about it, the third child's family doesn't have a woman. Let's take turns to live at the son's house. What about the third child? And the fifth child, he won't even have a place to live when he goes home." Grandpa Su picked up the wall and threw it. Rattan, and then began to weave baskets.

Grandma Su sighed: "It's really hard to say about the third family. I just found a matchmaker a while ago, so I don't know if there is any good news."

As soon as Grandma Su finished speaking, she heard a knock on the door outside: "The Su family, are you at home?"

Grandma Su's eyes lit up instantly: "Matchmaker Wang?"

"Hey, it's me, great news, open the door quickly." Matchmaker Wang smiled outside, and Grandma Su got up quickly: "I'm here, I'm looking forward to you, how's it going? But there's news ?”

"That's right, my matchmaker Wang made a move, can there be no good news?" Matchmaker Wang laughed and went in and found a stool to sit down. Grandma Su hurried to the kitchen and brought out sugar water: "If it's really good news, I'll get it Thank you so much."

Su Qinghe followed Su Zhiping back home, Su Zhian had already returned with his small wooden bucket, and there was a pitiful little fish in the bucket.

Su Zhiping went to report to work, Su Qinghe listened to Su Zhian bragging about his fishing skills for a while, and was ready to go to the yard in a daze again out of boredom.If the problem of winter clothes is not resolved, she will not be able to do other things.

When they arrived in the yard, Su Qinghe immediately thought of another thing—her two duck eggs had been buried for nearly a month, so they should be ready, right?

If those two duck eggs really made preserved eggs, wouldn't she be able to earn a lot of money?Although cotton is still far away, as long as you have money, you can buy more cloth, which means that there is a way to survive the winter.

Thinking about it, Su Qinghe felt that she couldn't wait.However, she can't dig out the duck eggs at this moment, because a month ago, she told her second brother that the duck eggs were broken, and she had to find a suitable reason to dig out the two duck eggs.
