The Way of the Peasant Mother-in-Law

Chapter 72 The First Heavy Snow

The first snow from Zhulan to ancient times was heavy snow, and the earth changed into new clothes overnight. When I got up in the morning, I didn't even open the door. The snow had already reached the calf through the crack of the door, and it took some effort to push the door open.

Zhulan looked at the sky, the snowflakes were flying in the gray sky, and the windless weather was heavy with snow. It was really cold with a hiss, and she looked down at the cotton shoes on her feet. She couldn't walk out. After walking in cotton shoes, they must be filled with snow, and they must be soaked when they come back. She misses her boots.

"Mom, you're up."

Seeing that Zhulan is the boss, this time it's okay, she doesn't need to go out to fetch firewood by herself, "Boss, go and bring some firewood for mother, mother wants to burn the kang."

Feeling in my heart, the top of the food chain is good!

Boss Zhou rubbed his hands and gasped, "Good mother!"

The firewood at home is split and neatly stacked, not to mention the convenience of getting firewood in winter, and less crime.

Zhulan lit the firewood, the second child and Rong Chuan both got up, first the houses were set on fire, and the three of them started to sweep the snow, and when the sweeping was halfway done, the third son and the old son got up and joined in, Zhulan curled her mouth She was not willing to work for her two sons who were studying. After Zhou Shuren left, she often ordered her two sons to work. Only by working on her own can she know that labor is not easy. Don't read with peace of mind as if she has made a lot of contributions. .

The effect is obvious, the third son is more attentive in endorsing, and the elder son has also learned to be considerate of others.

During breakfast, Boss Zhou asked, "Mom, pigs are killed on the first snow in previous years. Shouldn't we also kill pigs this year?"

Zhulan has always been thinking about the slaughter of pigs. She has long wanted to eat to her heart's content. Since winter, she has been waiting for the snow to kill pigs, "When the snow stops."

Zhou Laoer said with some concern: "It is said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year, but the first snow was too heavy, and the next day will be a disaster."

Zhulan looked up at the roof of her house and was worried. Most of the ancient countryside were mud houses, and the roofs were really not strong. Yuanshen remembered that the house collapsed in winter, "Boss, you and the second child will clear up soon." Clear the snow from the roof."

The boss is also thinking about it, "Good mother."

Zhou Laoer looked at the two younger brothers who were studying and frowned, "I can't go to this private school today."

Zhulan had no choice but to wait for the road to pass.

Zhulan has a good memory of her original body. It is common for private schools to have holidays in winter. There is no way. The traffic in ancient times was really bad. The original body remembers a year of snow disasters, and the road was blocked by heavy snow for two months. There is no salt at home. up.

Thinking of this, Zhulan had no idea about the ancient times without weather forecasts, and she planned to wait for the road to go to the county to buy, and would rather buy more than not enough.

After breakfast, the whole village became lively, and every family was cleaning the roof of the house to prevent the roof from collapsing due to the deep snow.

Zhulan called Mrs. Li, "Wang Liehu's house has a lot of rabbit skins, go and buy ten skins and come back."

As she said that, Zhulan counted out a hundred Wen, and the price of a piece of leather did not fluctuate much. Zhulan gave Li the money at the highest price, "If this year's leather is cheap, the remaining money can be used to buy some meat. For the first snowfall, eat dumplings with sauerkraut and meat at night.”

Mrs. Li was about to drool, "Mum, just look at it, I must have extra money left over to buy meat."

I was thinking about how to bargain, but I completely forgot to ask why I bought so many leathers!

In less than half an hour, Mrs. Li came back with the leather and meat, and said triumphantly, "Mother, I bought the leather for eight cents a piece, and the remaining money bought more than two catties of pork belly."

Zhulan praised, "Good job."

Mrs. Li put down the leather, "Mother, what are you doing with so many leathers?"

Zhulan replied, "For making shoes."

Li shivered with heartache, "Mother, our family has cotton shoes."

How can the mother-in-law be so fussy now!

There was a bang, the sound from the backyard, startled Zhulan and Li Shi, and Li Shi returned first, "Whose house's roof collapsed?"
