There is a handsome man in the rough family
Chapter 65
Since someone in the village lost their chickens a few days ago, Mrs. Li no longer dared to put her own chickens outside, and kept them in the backyard.
Some older hens stopped laying eggs, so they were killed and frozen for use in future wedding banquets.
Tang Xiaofu followed Li Shi, gossiping: "Mum, have you heard? The thief in the village was caught."
"Zhang Erlaizi?" After thinking for a while, Mrs. Li shook her head uncertainly: "I don't think that kid has the guts. But the village is not peaceful now, so you should also be careful when you go out during the day, and don't go to places that are inaccessible." place to go."
Tang Xiaofu nodded: "Understood. But I heard that Zhang's family came to Shi's house to make trouble again, asking for the gift money, but Shi didn't give it. Zhang's family took all their food away."
Mrs. Li pressed the basin with both hands neatly, and after a while, a dough was formed steadily.
"That family is really shameless. They demanded so much money from Zhang's family. Brother Yan is now married to a member of the city, but he won't return the money to him. Bah! What the hell."
"Brother Yan, come back once in autumn, and there will be no new ones in winter."
Tang Xiaofu and Li's actions, put a little bit of sugar filling inside the pancake, and dot three red dots with cinnabar on top.
This is the wedding cake in the local wedding banquet customs, but it is difficult at the moment, and they are all made of coarse grains.
"The Shi family's family are all lazy, and now that Zhang's family has forcibly robbed them of several hundred catties of food. Now they really want to drink the northwest wind."
Li pouted and complained, but it didn't affect the work in hand.
All the cakes made by Mr. Li are placed in a special clay stove, which is cylindrical in shape, with firewood in the middle, and the cakes are hung around the clay stove for baking.
Tang Xiaofu sighed, this time the entire north was hit by a disaster, and the government distributed relief food, but it was only a drop in the bucket in the hands of farmers, and it was nothing at all.
The originally friendly folks have now become bitter and mean, and they are all hungry.
These days, although there is food in his space and he has not found a way to send it out, Tang Xiaofu feels guilty and always takes the opportunity to farm in the space day and night,
There are quite a lot of rice noodles in storage now, but it's just that there is no chance to actually take them out.
It was snowing heavily outside, and Tang Laoer, covered in snow, entered the house.
In the room, Tang Xiaofu and Li Shi were busy making wedding cakes when they saw Tao Leer come in.
Mrs. Li quickly took a small broom and patted the remaining snow on his body.
"Has the material been sent to Brother Tuan? Qiantian Family Village came to send news, saying that there is going to be a kang, can you arrange the work there?"
After patting the snow on his body, Tang Lao Er raised his frozen, flushed face and grinned silly.
"Send it off. Mu, don't worry. Uncle Chen's family is left in the village, and we'll be done. We can go to Tianjia Village to make a living at noon."
"okay, I get it."
Mrs. Li nodded and looked at her son jokingly.
"The silver hairpin was sent?"
Tang Laoer blushed embarrassingly when he heard the words, and scratched his head foolishly.
"Send it, he likes it very much."
"Go, go, your father and the others are going to go up the mountain to cut firewood, or you can go with them."
"Eh!"
After finishing speaking, Er Er Tang quickly went to the west room to find Old Man Tang, and they prepared the plow and rope for going up the mountain.
Farm marriages are all held in their own yards, and cooking and hot water naturally require a lot of dry firewood.
According to Daqi's rules, the two cannot meet before marriage.
But Brother Tuan didn't have any relatives there. Seeing that the wedding was approaching, there were quite a lot of things to prepare.
Marriage is naturally more concerned about the Tang family, so they don't have so many scruples.
Tang Xiaofu packed the wedding cakes. The palm-sized cakes were delicate and cute. After counting them, he said, "Mmm, there are sixty cakes in total, and they are all made of miscellaneous grains. Will there be some less?"
"Nowadays, people don't have enough food to eat. They just come to eat and drink. The real gift money is not much, it's enough."
If Mrs. Li pulled the red thread, he twisted it into a section with scissors, and wrapped the oiled paper into a cross pattern with one section, and tied it into a beautiful knot.
Tang Xiaofu didn't know it at first, but after learning it twice, his hands and feet became more agile.
After a while, the two tied the 60 packets of wedding cakes with red strings.
Another handful of firewood was added to his body, which made the kang even hotter.
It was still winter in this kang, and suddenly there were several heavy snowfalls here, and it was so cold that Tang Xiaofu got out for Su.
At home, only Tang Lao Er had strength and spare time, so he took over the work of the kang.
When the house was just finished, it caused quite a commotion in the village.
This territory is located at the junction of the north and the south, and it is a bit cold in winter.But there is no such thing as a kang.
The house can be warmed up with the firepower of cooking. The villagers are so surprised that the threshold is almost broken. They come to Tang's house every day to see it, and many of them are moved.
Although Tang Xiaofu provided the drawings, he didn't know anything about manual work, so he simply handed them over to his second brother.
Don't look at Tang Lao Er's stupid head and brain, he is also very handy, and he is proficient after a few tries.
In the village, several skilled masons were hired to work together, and the manual fee was 200 Wen for each kang plate.
In several villages near the winter, more than 30 kangs were sold, and the money distributed was more than two taels, but these guys were very happy.
After experiencing locusts, it was too late even for replanting, and there was almost no harvest in autumn.
Many people also ate up the food stored in their homes.Although the rice shops in the county still sell grain, the prices are frighteningly high.
There is no need to work hard in winter, and many people have changed to one meal a day.
Those who can get married at this time are considered to be well-to-do families.
Tang Xiaofu heard the commotion in the yard and knew they were leaving.
He hurriedly got up and went back to the house, took out the rabbit fur gloves he made a few days ago and ran out,
"You go to the mountains to watch out for wild beasts. Put on these gloves. It's not easy to heal your hands after freezing carefully."
Zhao Xiangbei took the rabbit fur gloves and looked at Tang Xiaofu with dark eyes.
With a petting smile, he touched the top of his hair with his big hand.
"Go back quickly, it's snowing outside, don't catch cold."
Old man Tang also took the gloves made by his brother, touched them lovingly and smiled all over his face.
"We, Brother Fu, are so caring. These rabbit fur gloves are warm and strong on your hands. No matter how far you go, you won't be afraid of the cold."
Tang Xiaofu smiled warmly: "Father, you should come back early. My mother said that tonight I will use mutton stewed radish in a pot. It is delicious."
The little brother at home is half a year old now, and the two ewes also ate a lot, and they were killed by Mrs. Li before they grew meat. It happened to be frozen and eaten slowly in winter.
When Tang Laoer heard that there was a pot of mutton and radish to eat, he immediately swallowed his saliva, and said in a stupid voice: "Brother Fu, don't worry, we will collect some firewood by the side of the mountain, if we don't go inside, we will go back."
Zhao Xiangbei gathered Tang Xiaofu's clothes and patted the snow off his head.
"Go back, it's too cold outside."
At this moment, Tang Xiaofu, who was really cold, went back to the house on his feet, secretly opened the window a little, and saw the backs of Zhao Xiangbei and the others disappearing in the distance.
I thought these people would come back later, but half an hour later, these people walked back with a heavy face.
Tang Xiaofu felt a little uneasy, and asked with hot water.
"What's the matter, everyone's face is not good."
Sitting on the edge of the kang, Zhao Xiangbei took the hot water brought by Tang Xiaofu, took a sip, and sighed.
"Uncle Yu and Yu Momo, who were on the side of the mountain, had no more charcoal. The villagers froze when they found out. When the village chief organized people to help with the burial, he realized that there was no grain in their house. "
Tang Xiaofu shook his fingers and almost dropped the cup on the ground, his voice was dry.
"This is the second time."
Zhao Xiangbei nodded, his voice a bit dull.
"God doesn't show his face, everyone's life is very sad."
These days, every household's food is carefully eaten.
Although the Tang family is making wedding cakes right now, the staple food on weekdays is almost porridge.
Most of the chickens and sheep killed in the family, except those kept for wedding banquets, were taken by Li to the landlords in neighboring villages to exchange for food.
Tang Xiaofu's face turned pale, and his heart felt dull and uncomfortable.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Xiangbei stretched out his hand to embrace him in his arms, patted his head,
"Don't be sad, the world is like this, there is nothing you and I can do."
It was originally a comforting word, but it made Tang Xiaofu feel even more uncomfortable when he heard it.
He obviously had a golden finger, but he couldn't take it out.
Looking at Zhao Xiangbei's gentle and firm eyes, Tang Xiaofu suddenly had a crazy idea and wanted to make a big gamble.
"To the north, if, just say, if there is a person who has a large amount of food, how can he help the local people?"
Zhao Xiangbei didn't think too much about it, he just smiled softly as Tang Xiaofu was changing the subject.
"How much is a large amount of food? Enough for a village and a town, or enough for a state capital?"
Tang Xiaofu pursed his lips, clasping his palms in frustration.
"A state capital with tens of thousands of people may not be able to provide relief, but there should be some hope for helping a county to survive the winter."
Tang Xiaofu's voice was extremely soft, he was talking to himself thinking that Zhao Xiangbei couldn't hear him,
But unexpectedly, Zhao Xiangbei looked at Tang Xiaofu in amazement with sharp ears and eyes,
The two of them are together every day, and he doesn't think Tang Xiaofu has so much food.
The food that can supply a county, even if it is hidden in the house of the Tang family, it will not fit when it is full.
Zhao Xiangbei shook his head with a broken smile, and patted Tang Xiaofu on the head.
"Don't think so much, life always goes on."
Looking at Zhao Xiangbei's gentle smiling face, he remembered the kind old couple in the memory of the original owner, but now they turned into cold corpses.
Tang Xiaofu suddenly had great courage, and anxiously grabbed Zhao Xiangbei's sleeve.
"Xiangbei, is there a way for you to quietly take me to the county government office without being recognized by anyone?"
Some older hens stopped laying eggs, so they were killed and frozen for use in future wedding banquets.
Tang Xiaofu followed Li Shi, gossiping: "Mum, have you heard? The thief in the village was caught."
"Zhang Erlaizi?" After thinking for a while, Mrs. Li shook her head uncertainly: "I don't think that kid has the guts. But the village is not peaceful now, so you should also be careful when you go out during the day, and don't go to places that are inaccessible." place to go."
