The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and shone on the land, the road ahead was unknown, but their hearts were full of hope and courage. Because they knew that as long as they did not stop, there would always be light of hope waiting for them.

We all had a good sleep last night, and the cold air in the early morning made some people sneeze, "A-choo..."

Father Liu was the first to wake up and called out to the others, "Caixia, Caiyun, everyone get up, let's pack up quickly!"

"Dad, I think we should say hello to Village Chief Hu and the others. I think it was really cold last night. If we go up the mountain, I'm afraid it will be even colder at night. If everyone is not prepared, I'm afraid we will all catch a cold."

"Okay, you guys pack up, I'll go talk to Village Chief Hu, get all the thick clothes ready, and be especially careful if you have children, so they can add more clothes to keep warm whenever it gets cold."

"Then go quickly, Dad!"

After Liu Caixia folded the blanket, she saw Xiaolu sitting and putting on her shoes, so she said gently, "Xiaolu, if you feel cold, you can quietly add a warm underwear or long sleeves under your clothes."

Nowadays, people wear a variety of clothes, and no one pays attention to these details. The coarse cloth clothes that my grandfather bought before, although the color is a single gray, are wear-resistant and durable, suitable for daily wear.

Most people also choose this material, and some clothes are even spliced ​​with patches of old clothes.

In this era of difficult living conditions, clothes were not considered important consumer goods, and people usually did not spend money to buy cloth to make new clothes unless they had no other choice.

Liu's father bought a set of coarse cloth clothes for each person to wear outside every day.

They put on coarse cloth clothes on the outside and a pure cotton vest or jacket on the inside.

These coarse cloth clothes are relatively loose and can cover the clothes underneath, so people don’t need to pay too much attention to the inner matching.

Previously, Liu's father bought grey cotton and linen clothes, which were of poor quality and a bit stiff, but very suitable for wearing outside, and were hard-wearing and durable. Almost everyone wore this kind of material.

Most people's clothes are still patched together. Old clothes are patched up, and those that cannot be patched up are not thrown away. Instead, they are patched up with newly bought coarse cloth.

It is just the splicing of new and old cloth. There is also a difference in the colors of the new and old cloth, but no one cares about these. In this age when food and drink are difficult, clothes are not that important. No one would spend money to buy cloth to make clothes unless it is absolutely necessary.

But it is more comfortable than wearing nothing inside. The coarse cloth is too hard and their skin can't bear it at all. People here also have to wear inner clothes.

For this era, clothing is still relatively conservative, especially for women, who are basically not allowed to show their arms and legs.

The shoes were improved based on the shoes of this dynasty. However, it was still more convenient to walk in their modern sports shoes. They sewed a layer of coarse cloth on the outside of the sports shoes, which was lighter than the straw mats woven before and could better cover the original appearance of the shoes, making them less likely to be discovered.

Liu Caixia pulled Liu Caiyun over and told her the situation.

"What should we do with Xiaomei? Do you have any clothes that can be altered? Make her wear one. Her little body can't catch a cold. And we can't give her modern clothes to wear!"

"I've thought about it. I think I can ask Xiaolu to get a pure cotton jacket, and I can just do some stitching to make it look like clothes from this era. It won't take too much time, and it can basically be done in about ten minutes."

"Okay, then you go and get it done. Mom and I will clean it up. There aren't many things to begin with. Mom and I will use the cloth to make a triangular curtain. We will take turns putting a piece of clothing inside. I'll ask Xiaolu to get it ready."

"Well, I also suddenly feel very cold this morning."

Xiaolu was still a little girl, so she put on a grey long-sleeved shirt over her inner clothes and put it on quickly. She also gave a grey long-sleeved shirt to each person.

Fortunately, I have collected a lot of men's clothes before, the styles are relatively simple, and many of them are solid colors.

After adding clothes, they felt less cold. Liu Caiyun started to take out needle and thread to alter Xiaomei's clothes.

When Liu's father found Village Chief Hu, Village Chief Hu was also telling his family, "It's too cold this morning. Old woman, please prepare more clothes and pay more attention to the children. I heard the eldest girl coughing."

"Got it. When I clean up, I'll just take out a piece of clothing for everyone to keep warm."

Father Liu saw that Village Chief Hu was also an understanding man. "Village Chief Hu, I came here to tell you that it is abnormally cold today. It has never been like this before."

"I asked my eldest son to inform the villagers and tell them to pay attention to their children. It may be because we are close to Dahuan Mountain. The air here is so cold because of the moisture. It may be hot again when the sun comes out."

"Well, as long as everyone is prepared, it's better to be prepared. It's better not to get sick. If you get sick, there will be no doctor to see you."

Although Mr. Liu didn't feel so optimistic, he didn't say anything more.

After the people in Hujia Village finished cleaning up, they did not eat breakfast. They ate a meal in the middle of the morning and another meal when they rested in the evening. If anyone felt hungry during the meal, they would just eat sweet potatoes.

Before, basically everyone ate two meals a day. Now, everyone in Hujia Village decided to eat together, and also arranged two meals a day. As for their own stored food, if they had extra food, they would just eat a few bites to fill their stomachs if they were really hungry.

Along the way, everyone got up at dawn to set off, taking advantage of the sun just coming out and the weather not being so hot, and hurried on their way.

I waited until the hour of Wei, which is from 1:00 to 3:00 in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day.

Find a shady place to rest for an hour or so, and get something to eat, either dry food or something cooked.

After eating, we continued on our journey until the sun went down in the evening and the road became completely invisible, and then we looked for a place to spend the night.

In the morning, Xiaolu usually secretly feeds Liu Caixia's family steamed buns, milk, eggs and other tasteless foods, which they eat up quickly.

Others didn't know whether they had eaten or not, and when they were on the road they would pretend to take out sweet potatoes and share some with everyone.

Or each person would break off a piece of the naan they bought and take a couple of bites, just to show off to others.

When it was time for everyone to rest together, we cooked something to eat, and we always cooked sweet potato millet porridge or sweet potato corn porridge.

However, Xiao Lu would secretly add some side dishes to the cooked food that her family was given. Other condiments must not be added randomly. They are all relatively light dishes, and others will not be able to smell the flavor if they are added.
