Cannon fodder also wants to live (through the book)

47 Chapter 47

This is also impossible.

Especially today, I helped two elderly people around 60 years old. Their legs and feet are inconvenient as they get older, and there is not enough hot tea.And many people helped with the intention of exchanging jobs.

Just like the village chief said to help each other, the two old people probably don't have the friendship they have today, whether they want money or hard work.There are too few people in this world who sincerely help without expecting anything in return.

The room was warm, and there was hot water to wash his face non-stop, and his feet were still soaking in hot water. Zhang Caixuan kept watching over him, adding some hot water from time to time, and even took time to wring a hot handkerchief for him.Qin Sulin warmed up a little, and stretched out his arms to wrap around her waist, sighing, "Caixuan, it's good to have you."

In such difficult days, fortunately, I have you by my side.

Zhang Caixuan has been listening to him in silence, and then she whispered: "I am also grateful to have you by my side."

Qin Sulin rested his head on her waist, and said in a muffled voice, "From now on, I will always be with you."

Zhang Caixuan smiled, "I remember."

Against the background of white snow, there is a dim halo in the house, which is warm and beautiful.

The next day, the snow fell slightly, but it was still as cold. With the lessons learned from the two old men, many people in the village planned to renovate their houses, and even more people set up ladders to clear the snow from the roof.

Going up to the roof on such a day is actually very dangerous.

If one accidentally slipped down, he would lose half his life even if he didn't die. In this kind of weather, he couldn't go to the town, let alone ask the doctor.

However, these words cannot be considered kind to the person who is climbing the roof, but if they fall into the ears of the listener, they will be a bit of a curse.

It was Gu Qi who came back with Qin Surin yesterday, and he only went there in the afternoon.It is said that it was Mr. Gu's intention. It seems that Gu Yuejing looks cold, but he is warm-hearted.Of course, the premise is - don't have any bad thoughts about Gu Yuelin.

The Gu family was also sweeping the snow off the roof today, Qin Sulin saw it lying on the roof, Zhang Caixuan was really worried, even if she was cooking in the kitchen, she would come out from time to time to have a look.

,all in

Fortunately, it went well.

Another thing is that after everyone ran to Yang Xuan'er's house to hug bricks yesterday, the village and the west side of the village finally got their way.

In other words, it would be very convenient for people in the village to come over.

Zhang Caixuan climbed up the ladder by chance and saw someone coming towards the west of the village. She looked curiously, originally intending to see if someone was looking for their house, but she didn't expect that person to go directly to Yang Xuan'er's yard.

But Zhang Caixuan saw him go back in a blink of an eye.

Look at the figure is a man.

None of this is her business.Yang Xuan'er was supposed to be at the age where she should be kissing, even if it's normal for happy events to be announced now.

It's just that the men in the village are simple and honest, and the most important thing is that they have no extra money, but I don't know if she will be unwilling.

Qin Surin was very careful, but fortunately he got down safely, and there was no news of anyone falling down in the village.No news is good news.

At night, it began to snow again. After one night, the roof that was swept yesterday was covered with another thick layer.

And the road that was stepped on by the whole village was no longer visible.Only faint traces of the original footprints can be seen.It was all white, and there was no other color.

Qin Sulin climbed up to the roof to sweep the snow again. Yesterday he swept for a long time, and it accumulated a thick layer for several days, which was very difficult to sweep.This way it's easier to sweep away.

Someone from the Gu family next door was also sweeping the roof.

And a little further, Yang Xuan'er's roof has never been swept, she and the girl are young girls, it is dangerous to climb up and down, and the girl's house should not be too cold, it is not good for the body.

Although the chickens at home didn't freeze to death, they haven't laid eggs for many days.Fortunately, she still has what she saved before.

Sometimes she would think about how people in the capital live.With such a heavy snowfall, vegetable farmers outside should not go to the city to sell vegetables. After all, it is not fun to accidentally step on the air and fall. There are no people passing by in this kind of weather, and death is possible.

And the most important thing is that all the vegetables Zhang Caixuan grows, whether they are from the wasteland or the backyard, are all frozen.

The dishes are barely edible when they are cooked, but they are really not good-looking, so it should not be possible to sell them.

When the circuit was closed, there were no more people coming here. When Zhang Caixuan occasionally went to see Qin Sulin sweeping the snow, she found that someone was also lying on Yang Xuaner's roof, too far away to tell who it was.

In fact, Zhang Caixuan can understand very well that in this kind of weather, if the snow on the roof is not swept, it is possible for the roof to collapse in the middle of the night.

In this way, the snow was swept every day until the twelfth lunar month.

At this time of the end of the winter moon in previous years, everyone is preparing for the New Year. This year, there is no way to go to the town, let alone the New Year.Fortunately, after entering the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the snow in the sky has lightened, but the road is cold and slippery, and it is slippery to step on, and it is easy to fall.

In the small puddles where the snow had melted by the roadside, the transparent ice I saw was floating on it.It is dry and cold now, and the wind blows on the face like a knife. After the cloak, Zhang Caixuan made a scarf out of cotton cloth to wrap her face completely, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.

Still, it was time to try to go to town.

Zhang Caixuan made a plan, Qin Sulin had no objection, got up when it was still daylight outside, put on the carriage and went out.

When passing by the village, every house was still very quiet, and the horse had lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, it was not needed to run fast now. After leaving the village, Qin Sulin controlled it to walk slowly.

The walk was very dangerous, and the horse would slip, Zhang Caixuan's heart was always on the lookout, even Qin Sulin didn't let her get into the carriage to shelter from the wind.

An hour later, they finally arrived in Huanxi Town. Compared with the bustle of the market before, it seemed deserted now.

The town is very popular, and the horses on the streets are not slippery, but there is a lot of muddy water.There are quite a lot of horse-drawn carts and ox carts coming and going, and there are almost no pedestrians walking on the road.

Zhang Caixuan and Qin Sulin came here to find out the news from the outside world. They were not short of food or meat, so they didn't plan to buy, but they planned to ask the price, so they knew it well.

It wasn't until the busiest street in the past that I saw someone setting up a stall. This place used to be visited by wealthy households in the town. The street is spacious, and the surrounding houses are at least two-story buildings.But now it has long lost the elegance and orderliness of the past. The streets are full of stalls, with everything on them, such as cloth and fur, quilts, all kinds of meat, and even dog meat.There are also eggs, but not many.There are also frozen cooked dishes, and it seems that they can really be sold.There are also silver hairpins and silver bracelets on the stalls. What is bustling now is not the exquisite shops on both sides, but the messy stalls in the middle.

The two took a leisurely look around, and unexpectedly saw a gold ring on the stall.

Probably noticing Zhang Caixuan's eyes, the young woman who set up the stall hurriedly said, "Girl, do you like it? The price is negotiable."

Zhang Caixuan became interested and asked, "How do you sell it?"

The young woman's eyes lit up, and she glanced at Zhang Caixuan's gray cloak, "I want white rice, do you have it?"

Yes, there are, but she didn't bring them today, she didn't intend to change things at all, she just came to inquire about the price, and the road from Qingshan Village to the town is not easy, of course, the less the carriage, the safer it is.

Seeing her expectant eyes, Zhang Caixuan didn't deliberately tease her, and said frankly: "No."

,all in

The woman asked again, "Do you have any at home? I can wait. My mother-in-law is sick and wants to drink plain porridge. If I can't change it today, I will probably be kicked out of the house."

Someone next to me asked, "How much rice can I change?"

The young woman stopped talking to Zhang Caixuan this time, and turned around to bargain with the man.

Zhang Caixuan asked casually, two eggs cost a catty of coarse grains, not to mention meat, a piece of meat that was not very fresh and looked like it was still overflowing, cost [-] yuan per catty, and it was quickly robbed .

Just passing by the bank, the door has already been closed, so you can't buy anything with silver tickets. At this time, it is better than copper coins.Of course, the most useful thing is food.

The grain shop has long been closed. It is said that the one on the corner of the street will open every morning, but only 100 people are allowed, and each person cannot buy more than five catties.Of course there were people making trouble, but I don't know what the relationship between the grain shop and the mayor is, there are actually two yamenmen with knives inside,

After beheading a man who was unbelievable and insisted on entanglement, everyone didn't dare to provoke anymore, and got up obediently in the middle of the night to line up.

Five hundred catties of food a day is not enough for the people in Huanxi Town alone. In the past few months, most people have been eating food reserves.

It's not difficult to imagine whether the grain shop will be safe and sound after the food stored in the homes of everyone in the town is exhausted.Even if there is a yacha.

After walking around, there was basically no food for sale. Qin Surin became more silent and said in a low voice: "Caixuan, fortunately, we have food." Otherwise, there is no place to buy food, and the price of food is extremely high , many people may not be able to afford it.

The two went to the shop, and the price of cloth also increased, but it was not as unreliable as food.

Qin Sulin asked Zhang Caixuan if she wanted to buy it with her eyes.

Zhang Caixuan shook her head slightly, she has everything at home, what else should she buy?She just wanted to live a good life, but she never thought about hoarding goods.

After all, since it started to rain heavily, maybe nothing has been brought over from the capital, and the road is still frozen, and the snow may not have melted in the middle where no one walks.In other words, for the time being, everyone in Huanxi Town can only use what they have in their hands, and use a little less.The same is true for food, which will be less after a day.

On the carriage back, the two bought only a few eggs. Of course they bought them with copper plates, but they were much more expensive. Before, they could buy ten eggs, but now they can only buy one.

Zhang Caixuan didn't get into the carriage as usual, and sat outside slowly blowing the cold wind.

Just like that, it reached the village, but the village was very lively. All of them were at the door of a house in the middle. Zhang Caixuan and his carriage passed by, and everyone happened to see it, and they all gathered around.

A woman who knew Zhang Caixuan stepped forward, glanced at the carriage, and asked casually, "You guys went to town? What did you buy?"

Zhang Caixuan sighed, "I just bought a few eggs."

Although the woman didn't say it clearly, her eyes clearly didn't believe it. Zhang Caixuan smiled and opened the curtain of the carriage, "If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself."

The carriage was empty except for a few eggs in a basket by the door on the hay.

Everyone was a little surprised, and the quick-spoken and quick-tempered woman couldn't help but ask, "Why did you only buy eggs after a long trip? You..."

She lowered her voice, "It seems that you want to buy food?"

Zhang Caixuan smiled wryly, "I can't buy food, and I can't afford anything else."

I don't know if the villagers can still laugh after knowing the prices of things in the town.
