"Oh, look at my memory. I originally brought tofu to your house, but I forgot about it. Girl, what can you use to put it in?"

Yu Xiaoxiao filled a jar with some water, took a piece of tofu that Sister-in-law Luo put in a bowl, and placed it on the table.

Behind her, Sister-in-law Luo picked up Bu and said, "Sister-in-law Xiaomei will ask Tietou to bring you the money later."

Yu Xiaoxiao turned around and nodded: "Okay, sister-in-law, won't you sit down for a while?"

"No, I have to go back."

"Okay, I'll send my sister-in-law off."

With that said, Yu Xiaoxiao picked up the cotton-padded jacket, put it on and sent Sister-in-law Luo out.

Yu Xiaoxiao stood at the gate of the fence courtyard and watched the person walking quickly into the wind and snow. When he saw the person walking away, he planned to go back to the house, when he heard Aunt Li's voice.

Aunt Li's house was just opposite Yu Xiaoxiao's house. When Yu Xiaoxiao heard the sound, she looked up and saw Aunt Li standing in the yard waving to her.

Yu Xiaoxiao was unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face. She walked over quickly and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong, ma'am?"

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't show any pretense and quickly counted them: "That's right, ma'am, that's just enough."

Shen Ye welcomed Tietou, who was a head shorter than himself, into the house, rinsed the bowl that Sister-in-law Luo had used before, filled a new bowl of hot water, and warmed Tietou's hands.

It's getting colder and colder now, the charcoal fire in the house has never stopped, and we don't know when it will snow heavily. Fortunately, our family is well prepared for everything, otherwise how would we survive this winter?

Yu Xiaoxiao was listening enthusiastically to Aunt Li's gossip about the people in the village when she heard a voice coming from outside the house again. This time it was a child's voice. If nothing else, it was the iron head of Sister-in-law Luo's family who came to deliver money.

"Xiaoxiao, aunt is here."

Before Tietou sat down, he quickly handed the cloth bag containing the money to Yu Xiaoxiao: "Aunt Xiao, my mother asked me to bring the money over."

Aunt Li took out a heavy cloth bag from her arms, counted 210 Wen from it and handed it to Yu Xiaoxiao: "You click, 210 Wen."

Yu Xiaoxiao took it and counted it. It was exactly 90 copper coins. She continued to press the copper coins under the pillow, and then returned the cloth bag to Tietou: "Okay, Auntie, take it. Tietou, sit down and bake it."

Aunt Li didn't let Yu Xiaoxiao wait any longer. She came over with a basket in a short while.

I don't know whose stomach was hungry, which attracted everyone's attention. Aunt Li slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, I forgot about it. Xiaoxiao, I have to go home and cook quickly."

Yu Xiaoxiao looked out through the gap in the open window. She couldn't see anything in the vast white area. She nodded and didn't try to stop her. This was the first year that there wasn't enough food to eat, so she didn't think about anyone to stay at home to eat.

So, Yu Xiaoxiao sent the first one and the second one out. Yu Xiaoxiao sent the two of them to the door of the courtyard and watched them off, one going home and the other walking away.

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded casually and hurried home, one step at a time.

Basically, there are some craftsmen in the village who have accumulated some money in their hands. Now the family is no longer in a tight situation, so it is still possible to buy some luxurious cloth.

As she said this, Aunt Li's eyes did not leave the cloth, and she folded the cloth carefully and put it into the basket.

This year, I first fled the famine, and then I didn’t have much money left to buy food. Now I have saved some money, but I can’t bear to spend it all.

"That's fine."

Then she closed the fence door and entered the house. Yu Xiaoxiao opened the window completely for ventilation, and then started cooking.

"What is the Gangluo family holding? It looks like cloth?"

"become."

"Gulu~"

"Okay, ma'am, I'll see you off."

"Fabric! How do you sell it? Is there more left? My aunt also bought some. I haven't even made new clothes for my family this year."

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't push him. Yu Xiaoxiao had a deep understanding of what it means to stump a hero for a penny.

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't care and continued chatting with Aunt Li about the gossip.

Aunt Li didn't hesitate for long, she gritted her teeth and decided to buy it.

Aunt Li then spoke: "Xiaoxiao, please give me a 60-foot pull. I will make one for each of the younger members of the family."

Tietou nodded obediently.

Tietou was also very sensible. When he saw Aunt Li was about to leave, he quickly got up and prepared to go home.

Aunt Li touched the cloth in her hand curiously, a little confused, and said nothing for a while.

When the two children saw Yu Xiaoxiao come into the house covered in snow, Shen Qi hurried over to help beat the snow, and Shen Ye brought a new bowl for Yu Xiaoxiao to fill with hot water to warm her hands.

Yu Xiaoxiao's buttocks were not even touching the chair, so she could only get up and work, and said: "Auntie, how about you take all the remaining 70 feet? Sister-in-law Gangluo only wants 30 feet, and there are only 70 feet left for this piece of cloth. It’s a ruler.”

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't feel so cold anymore until she took two sips of hot water.

Tietou sat down obediently, holding a bowl to warm himself over the fire.

Aunt Li couldn't help but raise her voice a notch higher, obviously very surprised.

Afterwards, Yu Xiaoxiao and Aunt Li chatted about their daily routine, and both children sat silently warming themselves by the fire without making a sound.

Before Yu Xiaoxiao could move, Shen Ye had already stood up and opened the door.

Nowadays, there are homespun cloths for sale, but it is not like picking up a bargain.

Shen Qi moved the small stool, leaned towards Tietou, and spoke quietly to Tie Tou. Tietou was embarrassed at first, but soon let go, and the two little brats chatted animatedly with their heads next to each other.

The courtyard door was ajar, but Yu Xiaoxiao didn't lock it. She pushed the door open, shook the snow off her body, patted her hair and stamped her feet, then closed the door and entered the house.

The sound came directly from outside the house. Yu Xiaoxiao opened the door, helped brush the snow off her body, and asked Aunt Li to sit down.

After hearing this, Aunt Li looked at Yu Xiaoxiao, whose face was red from the cold. She felt guilty and said quickly: "It's Auntie's fault. Xiaoxiao, go home quickly. Auntie will get some money and go there."

With that said, Yu Xiaoxiao also stood up.

Yu Xiaoxiao put the copper coin under the pillow and said, "Madam, if you have nothing to do at home, why don't you just sit there for a while?"

"There are more than two horses at home, worth three cents per foot. Madam, why don't you go to my house first and tell me, it's very cold outside."

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and explained: "It's just cloth. I didn't have anything to do at home, so I was thinking about weaving and selling it to supplement the family income. My sister-in-law Gangluo came to give me tofu. When she saw it, she said she wanted to buy it, so I sold some."

With that said, Yu Xiaoxiao showed the cloth to Aunt Li.

Seeing this posture, Yu Xiaoxiao did not dissuade her, and said to Tietou: "Tietou, you have to go back too. Walk slowly on the road and go home quickly, okay?"

Yu Xiaoxiao was very helpless. She had just been out for a while, and her face was frozen. If she continued to chat, she would freeze to death.

After a simple meal, Yu Xiaoxiao closed the window and took out the uneaten cans in the morning. The three of them ate them as dessert after dinner.

Just after chatting with Aunt Li, Yu Xiaoxiao also revealed a useful piece of news, that is, the piece of tofu given by Sister-in-law Luo was not only used to inform the villagers that she could exchange for tofu, but also to repay the favor of the villagers for helping to build the house. divided.

Speaking of this, Yu Xiaoxiao also remembered that it was time to return the kindness to the villagers from home. Now the family has no worries about food and drink, and there is no shortage of money.

The total amount of grain purchased was enough to last for a year. Yu Xiaoxiao thought about steaming some multi-grain steamed buns at home and giving two to each family would be enough.
