Chen Miao didn't bring much cotton and cloth back here, but if she took some from the space, she could probably make fifty pairs of cotton shoes. In fact, if the feet are warm, they won't feel so cold.
The next day I went to Shen Wufu's house, "Fifth Aunt, I went to town yesterday and didn't buy much cotton. But I can still make dozens of pairs, so I still have to trouble you."
I still want to make it as soon as possible. If there is a chance, I might be able to let the team take it away. It is so cold in the winter, so that they can suffer less.
"Zhong, Xiaofeng's family, you go back first, we will be there soon."
After hearing what Chen Miao said, Shen Wufu stopped her, and Chen Miao also told her about yesterday's situation. "That shopkeeper is really a good person."
Shen Wufu pondered for a while, "Xiaofeng's family, you'd better not go out."
"Uncle Wu, I think so too. Try not to go out."
"As long as you understand, I tell everyone that if someone goes to the town or county, they can bring back as much cotton and cloth as they can.
Next year every family will grow cotton. I will go find your father and ask him to make two spinning wheels if he has nothing to do."
Chen Miao nodded, "Okay, Fifth Uncle, when the time comes, I will buy cotton at the price of a pound."
"I know the Xiaofeng family. I have known about their weaving since I was a child." said the Changlin family.
Shen Wufu's daughter-in-law, Xiuyue, spoke first, "It's from Xiaofeng's house. We'll go back and look for it at noon. Don't worry, we can just exchange three pairs of old clothes for two pairs of new clothes." Even so, we got a big advantage.
After hearing this, several women had expressions of surprise on their faces.
She knew there was something wrong with her, but she was living alone in this era full of danger. With two more blood relatives of hers, of course she wanted to be together all the time.
The women don't know yet, but Xiuyue knows what happened. "It's from Xiaofeng's family. Just stay at home. We can do whatever we have in the countryside."
I am already forty years old, and this is the first time I have made money this year. Although it is not much, I have earned it myself. I am not tired of living, and I am not guilty.
I'm really worried, why don't I go to the county and have a look myself?
Chen Miao also heard it, but he didn't ask him or talk to him.
Several members of Shen Wufu's family followed Chen Miao over.
"I'll tell you where, just go there yourself. It's not far away. There are many women in their family, and they can also spin threads."
Xiao Yun, Shen Wufu's eldest daughter-in-law, smiled, "Brothers and daughters-in-law, when you go back to work, let Yun Shan Yunxin and the others play at home, and the children will have company."
Chen Miao went to hitch up the car and took her two sons' cotton monkeys with her. She heard the shouts of several children in the distance, which sounded very happy. Her sons really needed playmates, which she couldn't give them. .
Which of the children here is not free-range? It is because I hold them with my hands and are reluctant to let them go. I want them to adapt to the life of this era.
"Xiuyue, do you think Chen Miao can still have cotton shoes?" Shen Sanjin's wife said softly.
The two children of the Shen family gathered around Yun Xin and his two brothers. It was rare for them to have similar playmates. Chen Miao also wanted his son to play for a while longer.
"Third sister-in-law, Chen Miao will definitely want it. You can bring as much as you want."
Chen Miao nodded, "Fifth Aunt, you can figure it out. I'll go to the market the day after tomorrow to see if there's anyone selling cloth at the market. I need a lot."
Shen Wufu's house has been packed up, but Chen Miao has not left home yet. She is still a little anxious.
It's not impossible not to go, but Chen Miao always wanted to do something.
"Fifth Aunt, I know. Madam, please tell me the address and I will go over and have a look." Chen Miao was actually worried about her two sons. But she had just come back and it was not good to pick them up right away. If she went out by herself, the two sons The child must go with him.
"The relationship has improved, but I was worried. I didn't feel confident at all when I went to the town or county seat."
I used to think that the life of mother and son would not be very good in the future. Who knew that a woman would actually live like this?
Of course, anyone who has the ability is willing to make friends with them. Besides, you can tell just by looking at their two children that their lives are easy, so you don’t have to worry about someone coming to your house to fight in the autumn breeze.
Yesterday I said I wouldn’t take risks. Just one day later, I wanted to take risks again.
I once thought that if I advance in my own space just because I have done good things, I should keep doing it.
"Auntie, do you have time to come with me?"
The two brothers were really reluctant to part with each other.
"What can Xiaofeng's family do to delay me? The four of them can just play in the yard."
Of course Shen Wufu's family would like to see this, let's not talk about how Shen Jianfeng is doing outside. The war is in chaos, and no one can guarantee whether he will be able to come back in the future, but this girl Chen Miao is powerful.
Chen Miao also knew, but there really was no cloth in hand, and she was really reluctant to use new cloth. After thinking about it, "Aunts and ladies, I don't have paper-paste cloth here, so I can only use new cloth. If you want If you have some sturdy cotton at home, you can come over and change it."
Although he is just a small person and cannot do anything earth-shattering, as long as he tries his best, he will not leave any regrets in his heart.
Chen Miao was actually really moved. Seeing her two sons unwilling to leave, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll bother my sister-in-law."
Shen Wufu nodded, "Yes, this way everyone can grow some cotton." After all, it can be converted into money, and there is no need to worry about going to the town to sell food.
"Sister-in-law, the child is too noisy and is delaying your work."
"Yunshan, Yunxin, let's go home. Come over and play with your brothers and sisters when you have time."
"Don't worry, I'll come over after dinner."
This is actually bought in the village. It is just filled with paper and has a layer of strong cloth on the outside. It is the same as the discarded cloth.
When they arrived at Chen Miao's house, several women began to work, "At Xiaofeng's house, there are not many papers left."
"Fifth Aunt, just go back and lock the door for me. Here is the key. I will be back as soon as possible."
Now that we are in this era, it feels wrong not to do something.
There will be a few more years to prepare supplies. The weather will be smooth in these few years, and even cotton planting will not delay everyone's food rations.
Children always have to let go, and their present life is different from their previous lives.
When the Yunshan brothers saw their mother driving the car, they ran over quickly and looked at her eagerly.
"Yun Shan, Yun Xin, mother is going to buy cloth. Do you want to come with me?" Looking at the happy smiling faces of the two sons and the sweat on their foreheads, I knew that they were really having fun.
The two brothers nodded. Behind them, the two Shen children also nodded.
Chen Miao smiled and said she would not take other children out. They had already taken note of the incident, and they would not be allowed to enter the space if there was an accident. No one could find out about this.
