The Journey Of The Peasant Mother-in-Law

Chapter 72: The first heavy snow

Views:

It was the first snowfall in ancient times. It was a heavy snowfall. The earth changed into new clothes overnight. When I got up in the morning, I didn't push the door open. The snow had already reached my calves through the cracks in the door. It took some effort to push the door open.

Zhulan looked at the sky. Snowflakes were flying in the gray sky. It was not windy and the snow was heavy. She didn't know when it would fall. She hissed. It was really cold. She looked down at the cotton shoes on her feet. She couldn't step out. Wearing cotton-padded shoes for a walk would definitely be full of snow and wet when she came back. She missed her boots.

"Mom, get up."

Seeing that she was the boss, Zhulan didn't have to go out to get firewood this time. "Boss, go get some firewood for mother. She wants to burn the kang."

I sighed in my heart, the top of the food chain is good!

Boss Zhou rubbed his hands and sighed, "Okay, Mom!"

The firewood at home is chopped and stacked neatly. Not only is it easier to get firewood in winter, but it also reduces the risk of sin.

Zhulan lit the firewood, and the second son and Rongchuan both got up. First, they lit fires in each house, and the three of them started to sweep the snow. When they were halfway done, the third son and the oldest son got up and joined in. Zhulan curled her lips. She was unwilling to let her two sons study, but she was willing to work. After Zhou Shuren left, she often ordered her two sons to work. Only by working on your own can you know how difficult labor is. Reading with peace of mind seems to have made a great contribution. .

The effect is remarkable. The third son endorses the book more attentively, and the elder son also learns to be considerate.

During breakfast, Boss Zhou asked, "Mom, in previous years we killed pigs during the first snowfall, should we kill them this year too?"

Zhulan has always been thinking about the pig butcher. She has long wanted to have a good meal. Since the beginning of winter, she has been waiting for the snow to kill the pig, "Wait until the snow stops."

Zhou Laoer said with some worry: "It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, but the first snowfall was too heavy, and with this intensity, it will be a disaster the next day."

Zhulan looked up at the roof of her house and was worried. In ancient times, most of the countryside was made of mud houses. The roofs were really not strong. In the original memory, it was common for houses to collapse in winter. "Boss, you and the second brother will figure it out later." Clear the snow from the roof.”

The boss was also thinking about it, "Okay, mother."

Zhou Laoer looked at his two younger brothers who were studying and frowned, "I can't go to the private school today."

Zhulan had no choice, "I can only wait until the road opens."

Zhulan has the memory of her original body and is very receptive. School holidays are common in winter. There is no way. Traffic in ancient times was really bad. In her memory of the original body, there was a snowstorm one year. The road was blocked by heavy snow for two months, and there was no salt at home. .

Thinking of this, Zhulan felt unsure about the ancient times when there was no weather forecast. She planned to go to the county to purchase when the roads were clear, and would rather buy more than not have enough.

After breakfast, the whole village became lively, and every family was cleaning the snow on the roof for fear of collapsing the roof.

Zhulan called Mrs. Li, "Wang Orion has a lot of rabbit skins at home. Go buy ten skins and bring them back."

As she spoke, Zhulan counted out a hundred cents. The price of a piece of leather did not fluctuate much. Zhulan paid Li the highest price, "If the leather is cheap this year, I can buy some meat with the remaining money. This year When it snows, I eat dumplings with pickled cabbage and meat at night.”

Mrs. Li was drooling, "Just watch, Mom, I will definitely have more money left over to buy meat."

I was thinking about how to bargain the price, and completely forgot to ask why I bought so much leather!

In less than half an hour, Mrs. Li came back with the skins and meat. She said proudly, "Mom, I bought the skins for eight cents a piece, and I bought more than two kilograms of pork belly with the remaining money."

Zhulan praised, "Well done."

Mrs. Li put down the leather, "Mom, why did you buy so many leathers?"

Zhulan replied, "For making shoes."

Mrs. Li shivered with heartache, "Mom, we have cotton shoes at home."

Why is my mother-in-law so fussy now

There was a bang in the backyard, which startled Zhulan and Li. Li was the first to recover, "Whose roof collapsed?"
