????Because it entered October, the weather turned cold. After the first frost, Tie Qing went to the mountains again and returned after beating five wolves.

???? This time, boss Xiao took him to the county seat in a carriage, skinned the wolf in the county seat, sold the wolf meat to a restaurant, and sent the skin to a fur shop. After asking them to tan, I bought some more sheepskins and made them into sheepskin jackets.

???? I couldn't go back that day, so I found a big car shop in the county town to live in. Although it was a big car shop, Tie Qing insisted on getting a standard room, one with a heated kang, and one single room. The five-person kind.

???? However, he reserved a single room and did not allow outsiders to live in it. He lived here alone with Old Chief Xiao.

???? "What are you doing with that money?" Lao Boss Xiao was not very happy, thinking it was a waste of money.

???? "Old Uncle Xiao, we sold five wolves today and got 20 taels of silver. The county is so big and everyone knows that we are rich. What if someone robs the house? I don't worry about it. Hard-earned money." Tie Qing said: "We live in a single room, and it only costs [-] copper coins a night, and we live in a bunk house, and it costs [-] copper coins a night."

???? It's only ten extra copper coins, there's no need to have to sleep with strangers.

???? Besides, he is not used to it. With the strange smell, he will not sleep peacefully, and he will be very vigilant all night.

???? "That's true." Old Boss Xiao is a capable person in the village, but not enough in the city.

???? That's why when Tie Qing bought sheepskin to make a leather jacket, he didn't have the confidence to stop him.

????Stayed for one night, and went to the fur shop early the next morning, where the wolf and sheep skins had already been combed. The two of them were eager to go home, so they loaded the car and left.

???? Back in the village, it was already dark, so I washed and ate when I got home, and then rested.

????The wolf skin and sheepskin were taken out the next day. Tie Qing's original words were: "One person makes a wolf fur mattress, which is good for keeping warm, and another person makes a sheepskin jacket. It is warm when going out in winter. .”

???? "Okay!" Old Aunt Xiao was not polite.

????Although sheepskins and wolfskins cost a lot of money, when Tieqing produces leather, their family produces cotton and fabrics. She and Brother Xiao can do needlework by themselves.

???? Tie Qing smiled, that's fine, if the boss is polite, he'll get out of here.

???? With the clothes settled, Tie Qing still went to the mountains and brought back three roe deer. Two big ones were sold for money, and the half-sized one was eaten by himself.

???? This time he drove the horse-drawn carriage to the county seat and stayed for one night before returning.

???? And when they came back, the carriage was full of things.

???? Two bolts of cheesecloth, four bolts of muslin, and one bolt of indigo-dyed calico.

???? Fifty catties of rice, fifty catties of white noodles, ten catties of snow salt, and some miscellaneous pepper aniseed sea shrimp and so on.

???? Fifteen catties of cotton, a jar of sorghum wine, and two bunches of candied haws. He has never seen Brother Xiao eat any snacks.

???? So I also bought two boxes of soft and waxy white sugar cakes, a pack of brown sugar, a pack of red dates, and a pack of bayberry preserves, which are quite expensive.

???? A bundle of dried kelp, it is good to eat some of this stuff, so as not to get big neck disease.

???? In addition, there is a large bag of needlework and some leftovers of silk and satin rulers. These things can be made into purses, and then sold in shops in the city. They are the source of income for housewives, husbands, and brothers.

???? If it was a single-horse cart, he would never dare to buy so many things, it would tire the horse, but Lao Xiao's carriage is a two-horse cart, which can pull more than 500 catties at most.

???? So he didn't have much, so he cut another [-] catties of pork and came back with more than ten catties of pork ribs.

???? When driving back, the old Xiao's family was shocked!

???? "What are you doing? You bought so many things?" Lao Xiao frowned.

???? "Uncle, cat winter is about to come, and I won't go into the mountains anymore. It was only this time a year ago, and it's probably time to go again for the Chinese New Year." Tie Qing opened his mouth and smiled cheerfully: "What's more Isn't this something necessary at home? You have seen my quilt, just a layer of cotton is not enough, I have to ask my aunt to make me a new quilt, and I need more cotton. "

???? "Who's quilt uses so much cotton?" Old Aunt Xiao touched the new cotton, her hand was soft, it was so good.

???? "Just use five catties for me, and the rest will be used to make a bed for you and the uncle, and I will make another bed for you, brother. He is small and cannot cover such a big quilt, so make a small one. Three to five catties is enough." Tie Qing pointed at his elder brother with a smile: "Come on, I bought you something."

????He gave Xiaogeer all the snacks and snacks for Xiaogeer: "Take it!"

???? Brother Xiao was stunned: "Brother Tie Qing, I don't want these things."

???? "Eat something, I've been here for so long, I haven't seen you eat anything, I see that the little brother from the Qiao family in the west has eaten candied haws, but you haven't, this is for you Yes, go ask him to eat one." Tie Qing smiled, and raised his hand to stroke Brother Xiao's hair: "Go, just come back before dinner at home."

???? He has been here for more than a month, and he has never seen Brother Xiao idle, either working or sewing. To be honest, seeing a young boy doing sewing really made Tie Qing feel awkward.

???? Funny brother's sewing is good!

???? The brother Bin from Qiao’s next door is no longer successful, probably because he is the only little brother in the family. Brother Bin’s life is much happier than brother Xiao’s, and he can still eat a bunch of candied haws every now and then .

???? He also invited Brother Xiao to eat a bunch.

???? Brother Xiao ate very sweetly and cherished it.

???? When he saw candied haws in the county town, he thought of Brother Xiao, so he bought two bunches back.

???? A string is only five cents.

???? Brother Xiao took the candied haws and went to Qiao's house to find Brother Bin.

????The Qiao family now only has the eldest son, the eldest son's wife, and Brother Bin.

???? Lao Qiao and his wife are kind people, and they also like brother Xiao very much. If it weren't for his own brother, they would like to marry Lao Xiao's family.

???? But after brother Xiao left, he told Qiao's family: "I bought candied haws for my sister-in-law and brother Bin. It's not good after a long time, so I sent them here."

Qiaoda's daughter-in-law is married from Xingshu Village, she has a good relationship with her husband, and she is also a smart woman: "Sister-in-law doesn't like candied haws, so you and Brother Bin have one each. After eating, go back and say Sister-in-law has eaten, be good!"

????Brother Bin pulled Brother Xiao, and the two little brothers ate a bunch of candied haws together, and then they parted reluctantly, but the adults couldn't help but laugh.

???? Back home and meat to eat, Xiao Geer felt that the sum of his days in the past ten years was not as comfortable as this one month.

???? Probably due to eating well and not doing any heavy work, Brother Xiao has grown some flesh, his face has turned paler, and his big eyes are smiling, which makes people feel good.

???? Tie Qing was no exception, and brother Xiao was very good, he followed Aunt Xiao to make a quilt for Tie Qing, and he also got a new quilt himself.

???? And his old quilt was dismantled by Aunt Xiao, plus her and Lao Xiao's old quilt, after the cotton was flicked again, two mattresses were made, and they were laid softly in winter. A new quilt was also made, and after she and Lao Xiao put it on, they also felt very warm.

???? Just entered the winter moon, the three members of the old Xiao family, who were ashen, all put on sheepskin jackets, rabbit fur gloves and hats.

???? The first snow fell one day, and on the first day of the first month of winter, in the Northeast where snow fell, the official cat winter began.
