Chapter 100
The negative mother-in-law
I just moved to a new home and there are so many things to add to my home.
Lu Quan and Qiu reduced their prices again and again, but still couldn't handle Lu Xiangge's entanglement, so they decided to go to town and buy everything they needed to buy while they were sending shopkeeper Li and his family away.
This time, after buying some necessities for life, the Lu family is not ready to go out again.
When the war between the rebels and the imperial court ends, it won't be too late for them to show up again.
In the past two months, various grain families have been preparing some supplies one after another. When the crops in the fields are harvested, whether they are sold or not, they will be able to survive until the second half of next year.
Everyone worked together to reclaim a large area of wasteland, and after tidying up and loosening the soil, they could grow vegetables.
When the vegetable seedlings are unearthed, this winter vegetable will be available.
Because the land they bought was bounded by Hong Lake to the west and a river branching from Hongze Lake to the east, several families docked their boats in the river.
In this way, even if someone comes from Honghu Lake, they would never expect that there is a small village with only a few dozen acres of land behind this thicket of trees.
On the first day of August, Lu Quan and Qiu took their five children to the town.
It only takes more than half an hour to walk from Zhuangzi to the town.
Lu Quan carried Lu Xiaowu in his front pocket, and carried a half-person tall bamboo basket on his back, ready to put the things he wanted to buy today.
Qiu, Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Xiaoli each carried a diabolo basket. They were going to buy cloth and cotton to make new cotton-padded clothes and quilts.
Originally, Lu Xiangge meant that for a family of seven, even if each person could not get a new quilt, they would need to prepare at least six new quilts in order to spend this winter safely.
You know, the only three cotton beds in the Lu family have been covered with cotton for more than ten years. They are dirty and hard. There is almost no difference between sleeping on them and sleeping on a cold bed board.
Qiu didn't agree with anything. Six new quilts, how much money would it cost.
In the end, I could only reluctantly agree to add four new quilts, leaving two beds for Lu Shege, one for the quilt and one for the cover. The other two beds were one for them, and the three-one beds for Xiaoqing and sister, and their two beds. The bedding was still the same as before.
Old quilt.
Over the years, the six members of the family have had two old quilts. No matter how cold this winter is, can it be colder in the house than on the boat?
What's more, each also got a new quilt.
Qiu's decision was not only supported by Lu Quan, but also by the three Lu Xiaoqing sisters.
In Lu Xiaoli's words, Xiaosi has made some money recently and no longer knows what his last name is. He thinks about good things every day, so why not go to heaven?
After saying that, Lu Xiaoli was slapped on the back of the head by Mrs. Qiu before the purchase of the quilt was settled.
"Little Four."
On the way, Lu Xiaoyu released his money bag, opened it and showed it to Lu Xiangge quietly, "I brought six copper coins. I will buy two sesame cakes later, one for each of us."
The children of the Lu family all have their own small treasury. Half of the money they earn is given to the Qiu family, and the other half can be kept for their own use.
Although Lu Xiaoyu is not as rich as her two sisters, she can still be considered a wealthy young woman.
However, Lu Xiaoyu now is a little "negative" woman who owes foreign debts.
Lu Xiangge didn't say anything. Lu Xiaoli, who was walking behind the two of them, spoke up: "I heard that the sesame cakes in the town have been sold for five cents each. The little money you have is only enough to buy one sesame cake."
"Five cents each?"
Lu Xiaoyu was stunned. The price was beyond her imagination. "Why is it so expensive?"
Xiaosi bought six pieces of sesame cakes from the last eel sale at home. She hadn't been to town for a long time, and she didn't know that because of the news that the rebels were coming, the price of food had also skyrocketed.
With food prices rising like this, how can people survive?
