"No wonder you can cut pigweed with me every day. It would be great if I could be as good as you, so that the burden on the family can be reduced."
"Second sister, it's better for you to study hard in school. I have studied them all before before I dare to do this. My dad told me that the most important thing is to lay the foundation in elementary school. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to study in junior high school. It is very likely that I won’t be able to keep up with my studies.”
"Really? Then I'd better go to school properly."
"Don't worry about not being able to help the family. Aren't you sewing my purses? Although you don't earn work points, besides going to school, you spend more time at home than when you go to work. You can use this time to sew more purses. , that’s okay.”
"Yes, why didn't I think of it? Xiaoxiao, you are smart. From now on, besides going to school, I will sew purses. My two sisters can also do the work at home, so I don't need to worry about it at all."
Since I had to cut pig grass soon, I separated from my second sister at the school gate, and then went home to get tools.
When delivering the pig grass to the pig farm, I heard the two aunts who were cleaning the pig pens saying that tomorrow the team would go to the county town to hand over grain. I thought that I had not been to the county town for a long time, and I had not collected the subsidy for three months. Yes, it seems that we can go to the county town with the food delivery team tomorrow, and we can also go and see what it is like to pay food.
When I got home and put my things away, I went out and walked towards the captain's house. I didn't forget that I had to get a letter of introduction when I went to the county town.
When I arrived at the captain's house, I saw that the courtyard door was closed, so I knocked on the door and called, "Uncle Captain, Aunt Caihua, are you at home?"
"Who is it? Come out and open the door right away."
After hearing what Aunt Caihua said, she stood at the door of the courtyard and waited. After a while, Aunt Caihua opened the door. When she saw it was herself, she smiled and said: "It's Xiaoxiao, come in quickly. I was eating just now, so Just close the door.”
People in this era have to close their doors when eating, for fear that some unscrupulous people will come to the door to eat. Now no matter who owns the food, there is not enough food to eat, so how can they let others come in to eat.
"Auntie, I don't really have anything important to do here. I just want to go to the county town tomorrow, so I came to see the captain for a letter of introduction."
"That's it, I'll ask your uncle to drive it for you right away."
"Then I'll trouble Aunt Caihua."
When she came out of the captain's house with a letter of introduction, she met Zhang Xiaoling, Zhao Yan and a new female educated youth. Because she had a problem with Zhang Xiaoling, she snorted when she saw her and walked forward. On the contrary, Zhao Yan and the new female educated youth The educated youth who came smiled at him, and he smiled back as a greeting.
After returning home and having lunch, I thought about going to the county town tomorrow and wondered if the master and the others would need to buy anything. Moreover, the weather was getting colder now. The master and the others only had a set of clothes they wore when they came here, and the ones he gave them when they became apprentices. Clothes and no other clothes.
It seems that this time when I go to the county town, I have to buy some homespun cloth at the black market, and then find a tailor to make a cotton coat for the winter for each of them. As for the old and new clothes, I can just wait until the clothes are ready, and then I can do something about it. I also need to prepare quilts for them. , otherwise their wooden bed would be freezing to death.
You also need to prepare pants and shoes. It is best to have a small stove like the one at home, so that you can not only keep warm but also have hot water at your fingertips.
Basically no one goes to the cowshed except Uncle Liu on weekdays, and even less so when there is heavy snow. Moreover, with the second master's keenness, he will quickly detect anyone approaching him. So prepare these things without fear of being discovered.
