Unlike the Su family who had their own small vegetable garden, Mu Xingzhi did not farm here. So although Su Qingluan also stored a lot of pickled sauerkraut and dried vegetables and bacon in autumn, relatively speaking, unlike the Su family, there were not as many vegetables that could be stored in the cellar.
It happened that the second year after Su Qingluan traveled back in time, Su Guangfu doubled the capacity of the cellar in order to be able to store more vegetables. In addition, when he came to the Su family later, there was no shortage of money to buy winter vegetables, so in order to prevent a sudden shortage of vegetables in winter, Food, before every winter, everyone fills the cellar.
Originally, if Su Qingluan was at home, the whole family would barely be able to eat until the beginning of spring, and the remaining food would be eaten quickly - although seasonal vegetables will become available after the weather gets hotter.
However, Su Qingluan was not at home this year, so Su Guangfu and Yang still filled the cellar as usual. When winter came, they found that there was no "combat force" in the house to eliminate the winter vegetables.
So when Su Guangfu and Yang met Su Qingluan, they always brought her some vegetables such as radish and cabbage from the cellar.
Later, Su Qingluan became very self-conscious. If she wanted to eat fresh vegetables, she would go back to the Su family to "restock" them - as was the case today.
It is already very cold now. Although it has not yet reached the point where heavy snow has closed the mountains, it has just snowed two days ago. The ground below has melted and frozen into ice, and the floating snow on the surface has made it difficult for everyone to walk. Once it slips, even a person with a fiery personality can't help but be cautious on such a road, not daring to run or jump easily, for fear of falling into a big horse.
"Xingzhi is still not well?" Yang looked at Su Qingluan with some worry, "Has he ever been so seriously ill before?"
It had been more than two months since Mu Xingzhi became ill, which was something that had never happened in Yang's memory.
In the past, Mu Xingzhi would be bedridden for three days or two, but it only took a few months to recover. Why did it take so long this time?
Seeing the anxious expression on her mother-in-law's face, but she was afraid that her daughter would think too much and always hesitated to speak. Su Qingluan secretly apologized in her heart. After all, she knew the truth, but she couldn't tell her. Come out to make Yang and Su Guangfu feel relieved.
But he still had to comfort his mother-in-law, otherwise according to the trend of Mu Xingzhi becoming more and more "seriously ill", Su Qingluan was afraid that Yang or Su Guangfu couldn't help but come over to visit the doctor, and then everyone would be betrayed!
"Actually, he has already been treated well. As you know, he is a doctor himself, and his medical skills are not bad, but he can't see the wind, so he is not allowed to go out these days. At most, he is allowed to push the wheelchair in the yard for a while. Let's go..." Su Qingluan pointed to the icy road outside, "What's more, the road is so slippery that it won't be easy to push the wheelchair outside, so we don't worry."
"It's good to see him well..." Seeing Su Qingluan say this, Yang felt slightly relieved, and then looked at her daughter, "What is his disease?"
"He..." Su Qingluan completely shut down: How did she know "what illness" Mu Xingzhi had? If she keeps telling lies to Yang's worried look, she will become seriously ill!
"He... just has an old problem... plus he caught the wind and caught the cold, so this time it's a little more serious..." Su Qingluan kept talking about the lies that she didn't know whether the other party believed or not, and at the same time prayed that her family would Mother, please don’t ask on a whim what Mu Xingzhi’s so-called “old problem” is.
Who knows what old problem he has!
Fortunately, Su Qingluan's desperate prayers in her heart must have been heard by the passing god, so Yang did not delve into it further, and did not even ask if he wanted to take a look. He just brought some more food. Su Qingluan:
"Although serving the master is a matter of course, but he has difficulty moving, you will always have to work harder. These can be boiled and eaten, which will be more convenient to make. There is also salted bacon, I will give it to you. It's cut into small pieces, so you don't have to worry about it, just take it and use it. And..."
Yang was talking nonchalantly, and Su Qingluan didn't know why. She always felt that although it was still cold and windy outside, she was not as cold as she felt when she woke up in the morning.
Su Qingluan walked home carrying large and small bags of things. Because she was carrying things in her hands, she couldn't swing her arms to maintain her balance. What's more, she needed to hold various ingredients, so she could only walk more carefully. The road was so slippery that I even had to tread carefully.
It was obviously only a journey of no more than two-quarters of an hour, but Su Qingluan was out of breath. He was thinking that it would be really difficult to carry the "reserve supplies" on his own. He had to make some delicious food to reward himself when he got back. .
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan was attracted by the donkey carts at the door of her neighbor's house.
This neighbor is the closest family living around Mu Xing's house. Their surname is Li. They are an old couple. The old couple are both in their sixties, and they are rare in this era.
Old Man Li has some difficulty with his legs and feet, but otherwise he is fine. Grandma Li takes care of Old Man Li and is busy all day long.
They had two children, a boy and a girl. The daughter married in another village. The son disliked the fact that farming could not be sold for much money, so he sold the land and went to Lefeng Town to work as a waiter for Hongfu Tower. Su Qingluan even touched Visited him several times.
It's just that Su Qingluan came and went in a hurry every time he went to Hongfu Tower, so strictly speaking, the two of them didn't exchange a few words.
Su Qingluan saw that the old couple's life was not easy, so they would share some of the meals cooked occasionally with each other. The old man and grandma were often embarrassed, but the family's conditions were really limited, and they didn't know what to give Su Qingluan.
However, Grandma Li's needlework is very good. Unlike Yang's "good needlework" which is more important than her novel style, Grandma Li is particularly good at holding the soles of shoes.
Yang's needlework was good, but her ability to tie shoe soles was average - of course, Su Qingluan couldn't tell, after all, she didn't even know how to tie shoe soles.
But after Grandma Li gave Su Qingluan a pair of shoes, she understood the difference between Yang and Grandma Li.
Grandma Li's stitches are very dense and well-proportioned. What's more, the soles are soft and thick, taking into account the characteristics of warmth and easy movement. Su Qingluan once joked that if Grandma Li made shoes with this skill and sold them, she would make a lot of money. Less money.
However, Grandma Li smiled and shook her head: "My eyes are blurry and my hands are shaking. It will take months to make a pair of shoes, but I won't be able to pay for them."
Su Qingluan just said this, not to mention that Grandma Li also had to take care of Grandpa Li who had handicap, so she couldn't leave easily to do other things.
But today, Su Qingluan looked at the door of Grandpa Li and Grandma Li: Whose does this donkey cart belong to? Could it be their son's? But it's still some time before the heavy snow closes the mountains. Logically speaking, it's not time for him to come back, right?
Unexpectedly, when Su Qingluan passed by Grandma Li's door, she heard Grandpa Li greeting her: "Mr. Mu's family, you have relatives coming to see you!"
