"Auntie, I can't think of a way at the moment. If we go back, we will still be short of water and food. If we go forward, it will get colder and colder. The winter in the north is very cold. We are still wearing such thin clothes... What should we do?
ah?"
Xia Qiyue was stumped for a moment and didn't know what to do. She was just a time traveler with a golden finger, but she was not Guanyin Bodhisattva, so she couldn't help so many people.
"Sigh... your uncle, the patriarch, is worried. He can't even eat anything. By the way, July girl, you said you can sell the basket. Can you help my aunt sell it tomorrow? If the basket can't be sold,
It will become a burden when I leave."
"That's no problem, Auntie, just bring me all the baskets and I'll help you sell them tomorrow!"
Xia Qiyue agreed happily. She happened to not buy a basket today, so she knew that the patriarch's family might not be able to sell so many. She planned to buy it tomorrow if the patriarch's family didn't have it.
"Okay, okay, you kid, you have helped my aunt a lot!" Mrs. An nodded, grinning happily and smiling sheepishly, "By the way, July girl, here is the money for selling your fifty kilograms of big ballast.
! Just count, my aunt sold it to you for five cents per catty!"
Five cents per pound is impossible in Liulin County, but this time there is no famine and no shortage of food, so the price is already very high.
"Thank you, Auntie, you have helped me a lot!" Xia Qiyue nodded. Fifty pounds is 250 copper coins. She directly counted 180 copper coins from the 250 coins and handed them to An.
Wang family.
Auntie, this is the money for the basket, I have paid it to you in advance, just bring the basket to me!"
Mrs. An waved her hand, "Don't pay in advance, you can just sell it and give it to me. And we don't have to sell it too expensive. Just sell it for fifteen cents each, girl!"
Xia Qiyue didn't respond and shook her head, "Don't worry, Auntie, I sell them all for twenty cents. I can sell them for twenty cents if I take them over. Just keep them. Anyway, I can sell them as soon as I take them over tomorrow."
!”
The two people didn't push too much. Mrs. An and Wang took the money and quickly went to get the basket.
It's not certain when we can leave now. Tomorrow we will let the father and son go to the mountains to have a look. If they can find prey, that would be the best. If they can't find it, they will have to look for wild vegetables or something.
If you run out of food on the way, you can fill your stomach.
Xia Qiyue took the nine baskets and put them directly in the shed. She could just pick them up early tomorrow morning.
After Mrs. An Wang left, Xia Qiyue suddenly remembered the rice planted in the space. She just scattered the seeds and didn't have time to see if they could be planted.
She climbed onto the wooden shelf, got into bed and took a look inside, which made her extremely excited.
I saw that the rice planted in the space had matured, and the yellow-orange rice ears were hanging down, bearing abundant fruits.
She was so excited that she almost jumped up. She was finally free. This was it.
The sugar cane in the eight-point field next to it has also matured, but now she does not dare to enter the space to harvest it. If there is something wrong with this space, it means that it cannot be controlled by the mind. The mind can only take out the original things and put them away.
Once you put things from outside in, nothing else can be done.
Originally, she thought it would be possible after the space was upgraded, but after trying it, it still didn't work.
The smoky atmosphere at the patriarch's house improved a lot as Mrs. An and Wang took the nine baskets and came back with the money.
Originally, the clan leader had been complaining, saying that he was not a businessman and that it was better to cut firewood peacefully.
Now that the basket was finally sold, he took the lead in knitting it again, saying that he had bought all the rags and it would be a shame not to use them all.
"Then I'll knit it all night and do it all night. Tomorrow morning I'll give it to Qiyue girl and ask her to take it over and sell it. I don't know if I can stay here the day after tomorrow..." Mrs. An used the light of the fire to hold her hand.
He kept sewing flowers and plants on his clothes, and kept talking in his mouth.
They lit a fire in the shed, and the family gathered together. The man was knitting a basket, Liu Jiajia was already asleep, and Mrs. An and Wang were doing needlework.
"The Zichen family is really capable, they can actually sell so many baskets." The patriarch said.
"That girl is good and capable. Just watch, there will be times when Lao An will regret it!" Mrs. An kept praising her.
"If it weren't for Fourth Sister-in-law, we wouldn't be able to have six big pancakes a day!" An Youde also interjected.
Among the brothers, he has the most skillful hands and has almost finished knitting a small basket.
"By the way, there is no fire there in July. They just came back and they didn't pick up firewood. You can send some to light the fire!"
"You old woman, do you have the virtue to go? That Zichen family also has a younger sister. If you let your son go now, you will ruin the reputation of other girls!"
The patriarch kept moving his hands and reminded his old lady.
"Oh my brain...then I'll go." He said and stood up.
"Mom, you should do your own thing! I'll go, I'll just ask Xinghe to come out and get it!" An Youde stood up quickly, picked up the firewood on the side and walked out.
Xia Qiyue hadn't fallen asleep yet, and similarly, her younger siblings hadn't slept yet. When they heard An Youde coming over, the three of them sat up at the same time.
An Youde asked Xia Xinghe to go out and carry the firewood in. After lighting the fire, he immediately felt warm.
The third sister and brother sat by the fire and pulled the two children closer to the fire, feeling extra warm.
Some people are warming themselves comfortably by the fire, while others are suffering.
On the other side of Zhuangzi, Shanxi, Mrs. Xia and Wu took all the troubles of the day on old Mrs.
"Old lady, tell me, what kind of bracelet did you give your eldest daughter-in-law? You actually gave her the bracelet secretly. Do you think I'm treating you badly? For so many years, you have served the old and the young, and you have done everything at home and outside, but you are nothing.
Give me one! Do you have a clear conscience?"
This kind of complaining and cursing voice sounds from time to time in Shanxi Zhuangzi, and many people are used to it.
At first, old Mrs. Xia couldn't bear her position being shaken. The originally aloof mother-in-law was pointed at and scolded by her daughter-in-law.
But gradually I realized that the son of Lao Er's family was lost because of her. When the bandits came, the old couple managed to follow Lao Er and his wife.
Now she has accepted these crimes, and when Mrs. Xia Wu scolds her with profanity, she dare not speak.
The second child didn't care. The son also hated her for losing his son. The old man didn't have the energy to teach his son a lesson. What could she do if she didn't recognize him? Can she still beat him better than others?
"I didn't give her any bracelet. You must have been deceived by Liu Mei! That girl in July brought two three-year-old children and her younger brothers and sisters. She can still earn so much money. Tell me, you
Do you believe it? It only has a head but not a brain!"
Although the old lady has calmed down her temper, she still has a strong mouth, and she can't explain herself smoothly.
