Fortunately, this is a rural area, and it is not difficult to collect firewood.

However, he still had to come back quickly, otherwise there would be no oil lamps at home when it was dark.

"Mister Su, Mrs. Su!" Su Jin was thinking wildly when suddenly he heard someone calling him. When he looked up, he saw Mrs. Qin sneaking in, so he got up and greeted him: "Mother"

"Hey," Mrs. Qin held her hand and patted her with a sigh. She quickly took out two pairs of brand-new straw sandals from her arms and gave them to her: "Take these two pairs of shoes, they are easy to wear when you go up the mountain. Don't go too far, too far is dangerous!"

They didn't have anything to eat, and they didn't have to think about it to know that there was no other way but to go up the mountain to find food, so Mrs. Qin said that.

As she said that, the old lady took out an old handkerchief and stuffed it into Su Jin's hand, and said in a low voice, "This is twenty pennies. After a while, you can go to the county town to buy two catties of cotton and a few feet of coarse cloth to sew jackets. Wear it. When the clothes are sewn, remember to wear them inside so they don't show them. Ah, don't blame your brother and sister-in-law. The family is too poor, and so are they."

The old lady Qin smiled bitterly. She was too embarrassed to say something good for her two sons, she just sighed.

Su Jin's heart warmed, and he smiled: "Mother, don't think too much, in fact, there is nothing wrong with splitting up the family. Both you and your father's kindness in raising them will be remembered! We will borrow this money from you. back to you."

Su Jin really can't say what they don't want, because they really need money now! Even if it's twenty words.

If you can buy two or three catties of cotton, maybe you can save their lives in this big winter. This is not the time to be brave.

The old lady Qin waved her hand and smiled and said, "I don't need to pay it back. I saved it secretly. No one knows! Just don't say it! Okay, I should go back, you guys have a good life"

"Mom, walk slowly!" Su Jin didn't dare to keep her for more, otherwise the two shrews wouldn't have any trouble if they met.

Seeing that Mrs. Qin left without a word, and shook the twenty pennies in her handshake, Su Jin only felt heavy in her heart.

She sighed and laughed to herself.

When did Su Jin feel embarrassed for such a small amount of money.

Qin Lang came back not long after, in addition to picking up a bundle of thick and thin firewood, there was also a large roll of rattan.

"I'm back!" Su Jin put away his messy thoughts and greeted him with a smile, took the vines, and put his hands on the pile of firewood at the door.

"I'll cook dinner while it's still dark. Corn kernels make porridge!" Su Jin laughed again.

Chinese medicine pays attention to seeing, hearing, asking, and being careful, and the ability to observe words and colors is naturally stronger than others.

Su Jin could see that this man was quiet and said very few words. In the future, the two will still live together. It's not good for both of them to keep silent and not talk or communicate. How depressing is that?

Since he didn't say it, it was inevitable, she took the initiative to say a few more words.

Sure enough, she took the initiative to speak, but he didn't want to ignore it.

Cough, saying that it is a "stove" is a lift, but a shallow sloping pit was dug with a sharp wooden stick in front of the hut, and a few stones were built around it.

Su Jin glanced at it and silently went to prepare the corn kernels.

"That, Xianggong," Su Jin didn't notice that Qin Lang's body shook obviously when he called "Xianggong", and continued embarrassedly: "We don't have water"

Not only do they have no water, they don't even have buckets or wooden basins to carry water, but only a stoneware pot more than a foot high with a gaping mouth!

There is a well in the middle and the westernmost part of the village. The villagers raised money to build a well, and they have to choose the water for their home.

Qin Lang glanced at her, got up and walked away silently, "Wait!"

With an "oh", Su Jin sorted out the firewood and piled it neatly under the eaves.

It didn't take long for Qin Lang to come back, carrying a load of water.

Su Jin's eyes lit up and said happily, "Hey, you're amazing, you borrowed a bucket!"

Borrowing a bucket to carry water can be regarded as a powerful thing. It was a joke to Su Jin in the previous life, but at this moment, she was sincerely happy.

Qin Lang also seemed to think it sounded funny, "Mmm" with a faint smile in his eyes, "Let's cook."

The bucket was borrowed from Lizheng's house, and he picked up a load of water for them in exchange.

In order not to make the atmosphere awkward, Su Jin had nothing to say to Qin Lang while cooking, and inquired about people and things in the village.

Living here and learning more is never a bad thing.

Under the thick twilight, the beating flames illuminated a small piece of heaven and earth. The corn kernels in the clay pot are tumbling with the corn, steaming hot, the aroma of corn wafts in the air, the two of them are sitting by the warm fire, talking from time to time, looking from a distance, it makes people feel a little warm .

Su Jin didn't dare to cook too many corn kernels, for fear of running out of food. She filled half a bowl and Qin Lang filled a bowl of polenta.

Seeing Qin Lang looking at the porridge in the bowl and then looking at her, Su Jin hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't have much appetite yet, that's enough."

This is true. The most important thing is that Qin Lang is the main labor force. It's okay for her to eat half full for the time being. Qin Lang must be full.

Qin Lang is full and has the strength to work, so both of them will have a chance to eat in the future. But if Qin Lang doesn't get enough to eat and doesn't have the strength to work, the two of them will finish the game together!

In fact, it's a bit false to say "eaten", in short, she will try to ensure it

Anyway, more than her.

Qin Lang didn't say anything after hearing this.

After the two of them had dinner, the sky was already dark, and the cold wind whistled, and it became colder and colder. Even though he just ate hot food, Su Jin shivered.

Qin Lang glanced at her: "Go in and sleep in the house."

Hearing that the "sleeping" child Su Jin felt nervous again, the original owner and Qin Lang did not have a consummate house, and the two of them slept in a thin quilt each and the well water would not cause the river water.

But for Su Jin, tonight was the first time to "sleep in the same bed" with a man, and he felt a little nervous and uncomfortable.

However, she soon silently persuaded herself and accepted it calmly.

She is now Su Jin, a village woman in this era, Qin Lang's—daughter-in-law, that's all.

"Well, then I'll go first."

Su Jin nodded, used a water scoop made of cut gourd and gourd melon after ripening, scooped half a scoop of hot water from the cleaned pottery pot with hot water, mixed it with cold water, and wiped his face reluctantly. hand.

She didn't dare to think about taking a bath or anything. Taking a shower at this time, let alone no basins or buckets, she would freeze to death.

If you catch another cold or something, just wait to die!

When he entered the room and saw the two pairs of straw sandals, he touched the twenty pennies in his arms, and Su Jin told Qin Lang about it again.

Straw sandals are worn over the badly worn cloth shoes, which will make it easier to go up the mountain, and with this money on your body, at least you feel a little more secure in your heart.

"Wait until we earn money and then give it back to my mother, can you see?" Su Jin said warmly.
