After rebirth, I win people's hearts by being cute
Chapter 28: A Warm Winter
After Mr. Su's legs healed, he started to take over the job of washing the large intestine. After all, his feet couldn't stand for too long, so this was the most suitable job for him.
Every time Liu Huan closed his stall, he would go buy a bag of rice. He didn’t buy expensive ones, as he already had several bags piled up at home.
The Su family also acquiesced after seeing this. After all, food is the lifeblood of the common people, and Su's father was happy to see it.
With Changsheng's help, Su's mother would go back every market day. Liu Huan would ask her to bring back the food, a little at a time, and then pick the chickens at home to sell.
Every time they would bring one person to town, and then send him back to the next market to get another one.
After Xiaoshi arrived, everything he saw was new to him. Liu Huan specially took a day to take him out for a walk: "Huanhuan, this town is so big."
"Yeah, I was shocked when I came here."
"When you have learned enough in the village, you can come to the town to study."
Xiaoshi looked at the gate of the academy and thought about the village school in the ancestral hall. It was really incomparable.
He vowed to himself: "Well, I will work hard."
Xiao Shi asked quietly: "Huan Huan, where is that cousin from? Why didn't we see him when we went to my grandmother's house?"
"He's a distant relative. I've never seen him before."
"All right!"
……
In the blink of an eye, it is the twelfth lunar month.
This year's winter is particularly strange. There is no heavy snow as expected, and it is even a little warm.
As the old saying goes, auspicious snow means a good harvest. If it doesn’t snow, it is not a good sign for ordinary people.
During the coldest and heaviest snowfall of the year, the sky may even clear up after a few snowflakes fall.
Su's mother looked at the setting sun in the sky and said, "This day is not right this year, his father, this is not normal."
Farmers depend on the weather for their livelihood, so it can be said that they are born with the ability to adapt to weather changes.
On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the academy was closed.
They are also planning to stop selling after they finish selling this branch.
The family went to buy a lot of food, including candies and pastries that they had not been able to afford before, pork, rice, and even the extremely expensive beef, which they had bought a lot.
The day before they left, Changsheng told them not to worry, he would take good care of the things. Su's mother asked in return, "Changsheng, aren't you coming with us?"
Changsheng then realized that he was also part of their plan.
"We have locked the door, no one will come, let's go to the house to celebrate the New Year and see what the house looks like."
The Su family never treated him as a servant. Just as Shi Tou said, he was a distant cousin.
Su's mother and father each carried a bag of grain, while Changsheng and Shitou carried the other things they had bought and went back with the villagers.
The villagers have long known that her family does business in the town, and that business is particularly good.
In the past few days, several families have talked to Su's mother indirectly, saying that their relative has a daughter who is a good match for Dashi.
She would always gloss over it, using the excuse that Dashi was still young.
Dashi has to be satisfied with his wife first. His family didn't have the conditions before, but now that they do, he naturally wants to find a good one for him. She doesn't favor one over the other.
Halfway through the journey, several aunts began to interrogate: "Danian family, how much money can you make in a day from your business?"
Mother Su smiled and said, "It's not much money. The cost is high, but it's only enough for living expenses."
When the others heard this, they agreed. Renting a house and hiring people would both cost money. They heard that houses in the town were very expensive, and since they had to take medicine all year round, it would probably be barely enough.
After returning, Xiao Shi was undoubtedly the happiest person. He held Liu Huan's hand and kept talking:
"Huanhuan, you don't know, this year the teacher praised me, saying that I'm better at studying than before, and I'll be able to go to town soon."
"Wow, that guy is amazing."
Xiao Shi put his hands on his waist and raised his head proudly: "Of course, I am your younger brother, and the teacher also gave me a name, Su Cheng, Cheng means honesty."
"You said you hope I can be an upright person in the future. Doesn't that sound good?"
Liu Huan was very supportive: "Yeah, it sounds great, how come my brother is so awesome."
"Hehehe, I'm happy when Huanhuan talks."
Shitou was annoyed by the way the two were so inseparable, so he went over to separate them and said, "Come here, I'll check your homework."
Xiao Shi made a bitter face: "Ah, I have to get checked right after I got back, how can I celebrate the New Year..."
The next few days were spent on cleaning. Shitou was responsible for writing couplets, while Liu Huan and Xiao Shi wrote the word "Fu".
Liu Huan took the words he had just written and asked for credit: "Shi Tou, is my writing good looking?"
Shitou was about to say something but stopped himself. For the sake of family harmony, he said "it's a good thing" against his conscience.
He turned around and started to type in Xiaoshi's well-written words.
On New Year's Eve, Su Mu Cao'er started preparing food early. It was rare that her uncle's family also agreed to eat together, so they cooked food for both families together.
There was a large table full of various dishes, which was the first time Liu Huan had seen it in all the years he had been here.
While staying up all night to celebrate the New Year, Su Ming was chatting with Shi Tou and asking about his academic progress.
Liu Huan thought it was a good time, so he expressed his thoughts: "Dad, uncle. I heard from the people in the town that the weather this year is abnormal and there may be a drought next year. I don't know if it's true. Should we stock up some food?"
This remark caused everyone to reflect, and the uncle fell into reminiscence.
He recalled that he had experienced a drought when he was young. His parents died at that time, leaving him and his younger brother.
Those who have experienced that don’t want to go through it again, so they say without hesitation: “Buy it at the beginning of the new year, and spend all your savings on it, just in case.”
Su Ming also praised Liu Huan for her clever mind. Shi Tou smiled dotingly, "Well, she has always been very smart."
As the village chief, Uncle Su felt it was his obligation to remind the villagers.
He called everyone together: "As you can see, this year it has not rained since the autumn harvest, let alone snowed."
"From this perspective, it is estimated that there will be a drought, so if you have money, go buy some food in advance just in case."
Some families believed it, but some did not believe it at all. Among them was Aunt Hua. She whispered to the people around her,
"I have never heard of drought in the decades since I got married. It's really true that the village chief has the guts to say whatever he wants."
Aunt Lian's family is completely different. They have already started to look at the money at home. "We have saved a few taels of silver in the past few years. Why don't we buy more? We have to eat anyway."
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shitou returned to the academy to study. After Su's father's leg healed, he made tofu with Changsheng.
After Liu Huan sold the cold dishes, he used the money to buy food.
Because to go home you have to pass through the deep mountains, and there are wolves on the mountains, so you dare not walk alone and can only go with the villagers.
But this way, every time we transport grain, we will be exposed. If the day comes when there is no food left, people's hearts will be unpredictable.
After Su's father knew her concerns, he said, "Since you don't want the villagers to know, just take a detour."
It just takes a little time. After Su's father told him the route, Liu Huan agreed immediately.
The most important thing at this time is time. Even if you go back once every two days, you can transport a lot more.
Su's father had also experienced this and knew the pain of hunger, so he naturally agreed with her approach and started implementing it the next day.
The two of them bought food outside and it took them half as long to get back, transporting the food back without anyone in the village knowing.
Everything seemed normal, but it caused a huge uproar during the Grain Rain.
