Chapter 62: Private room

After buying the ready-made clothes, they will go to the next store. The Zhou family has no shortage of winter clothes, but Zhulan wants to make a thick quilt for herself and Zhou Shuren respectively. The second son’s child is about to be born and will also need a new quilt. If one family makes for the other, they cannot favor one over the other. In addition, Rongchuan can be added. Okay, let’s make for all of them!

For two people who are used to the warm winters of modern times, the winters in ancient times in the original body's memory were horrible, especially the heavy snow in the north, when road closures were common. In ancient winters, no one except the privileged class could appreciate the snow scenery.

In modern times, Zhulan finds thermal underwear troublesome, but in ancient times, Zhulan’s mind was filled with cotton coats, cotton pants and big quilts!

In ancient times, the agricultural level was low, the output was not high, and the price of cotton was not cheap. Pork was eight cents a pound. Zhulan bought twenty pounds at one go and also bought some coarse cotton cloth. Zhulan was not a person who treated herself badly, and she had confidence in Zhou Shuren. She had been calculating money every day for the past few days, and now she had a clear mind, she couldn't stop shopping.

Boss Zhou's face turned pale with heartache, his fingers were trembling, "Dad, Mom is not living well?"

I never thought that the old lady who had been stingy for most of her life would start spending money squanderingly once she recovered from her health.

Zhou Shuren felt that he had to tell the boss the truth, otherwise the boss would reveal something wrong. "Boss, calculate the cost of buying the cow, the doctor's treatment and medicine, plus what you spent today, how much did you spend in total?"

Boss Zhou's pupils shrank, and he noticed the key point, thirty taels, and reacted, "Dad, is our family so rich?"

Zhou Shuren, "It's not that they are rich, but some of their assets are real. Boss, you are the eldest son, and I can only tell you. You are not allowed to tell your wife secretly."

Boss Zhou was no longer nervous, but rather looking forward to it, and assured, "Dad, I know what's going on."

Zhou Shuren, "Then I'm relieved. Listen carefully, our family has more than 80 taels of silver. Dad is not very capable. Most of it comes from your mother's dowry and your grandmother's subsidy. Just keep it in mind."

Boss Zhou, “… .”

So his calculation was correct. He calculated how much Daddy earned, and the rest was Mom's money. So Daddy is currently spending Mom's money

So you are this kind of father!

Zhou Shuren's hands were itching. Zhulan said that Li had a brain disease, and he thought it was the eldest brother who passed it on to Li!

Zhulan didn't care what the father and son talked about. She went to buy things according to the plan. She bought two clay pots, three large jars, five clay basins for serving dishes, three washbasins, and a large bathtub. Zhulan had been thinking about the bathtub for a long time. She was tired of wiping it.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law is a very particular person and the washbasin and foot basin in the house are separate, otherwise Zhulan really couldn't stand it.

The ox cart is almost full, and those who don’t know would think it’s for dowry!

Zhulan went to buy various seasonings, especially salt, and bought a lot of it. She gave all the salt in the house to Li to pickle pickles.

Finally, I went to buy paper for my two sons who were studying. I couldn't afford the good ones, so I could only buy the common ones, two cents per sheet, and two hundred cents per hundred sheets. Paper like Xuan paper, bamboo and orchid was too expensive to even think about. Together with two new pens, I spent two hundred and twenty cents.

After a cart of things, Zhulan only had thirty cents left of the money she brought. She didn't even need to save any money when she passed by a meat stall and bought some pork belly and large bones, leaving her with no money left.

Even though Boss Zhou's father had revealed his true colors, he was still trembling in his heart. He felt that his mother had become more open-minded after her health improved, and was not only willing to spend money but also willing to eat. He felt a little unhappy because his mother had saved all the money for him and his brothers before, but now she was spending it. Was it because she felt sad that they were unfilial when his mother was in poor health

As soon as Zhou Laoda replenished his brain, he began to reflect on himself in the past year. His face became worse and worse. People are most afraid of preconceived ideas. Zhou Laoda thought that he had not done well. When he recalled everything, he felt guilty. "Mom, I am an unfilial son. I have not been a good eldest son. Mom, what else do you want to buy? I have 30 cents of private money on me!"

Zhulan, "... ..."

Wow, private money, Boss Zhou is really amazing. All of Li’s subordinates can save thirty cents in private money. Don’t judge a person by his appearance. However, what did Boss Zhou think of
