Good Farming in Spring - C40
This meal was very sumptuous, because there were meat and vegetables, both of the small ones ate quite a lot, afraid that they would be full. In any case, Zhang Liu had persuaded them to leave the table, but of course, it was on the premise that they promised to enjoy the night, so the two little ones were already very familiar with Little Spot and went to the courtyard to play with him.
Mother, I will follow Wangzhige to the town, and will only be back tomorrow. Just follow brother and sister and use Wangzhige’s bed for the night, after I sell the money, I will directly buy some cloth and cotton. I will come back to make bedding, and we will have a new bed tomorrow night.
Zhang Liu was indeed worried about her daughter, but right now, the entire family was supported by this eight-year-old daughter. Even if she was worried, she could only mutter a few words, as she was truly unable to help her daughter.
“Anyway, if there’s anything you think isn’t right, you have to tell your aunt, okay?”
Dou Wang nodded.
“Yes, I will, Aunt.”
Feeling that with Dou Wang’s good words, Zhang Liu, who had calmed down, picked up the bowl and drank the last mouthful of porridge.
You guys should hurry up and eat. Didn’t you guys want to go to the town? It would be better to hurry on your way.
Zhang Liu was about to go and prepare food for the two people on the way.
Mother, don’t be busy, come over later. Tell me first, what things do I need to buy? As you can see, the Wangzhige’s family doesn’t have much, they don’t have anything.
Zhang Liu had also slapped his daughter. This girl was too straightforward with her words, she had taken him in, so how could she complain about that?
“It’s mainly because we need to buy some cloth and cotton. We also need to prepare some bowls, plates, chopsticks, and spoons. As for the rest, there’s no need to rush to buy them. We can slowly make our own things with the food on the mountain.”
As long as these two things were settled, then there was nothing to worry about. As he was so close to the mountain, he could make baskets, baskets, broom, wooden baskets, and tables and stools all for himself. He did not need to go out to buy them.
Right now, at home, you can just eat around the brick bed like this. Once you go up the mountain and chop some wood, you can make your own table and stools. You don’t need to spend any money to buy them; it would be such a waste of money.
Lin Chunnuan could only do it with these two, but she was not a person that could not be dealt with. Even if she could not make anything, it would be fine if she went to buy something.
“Alright, let’s do that then. This time, I’ll mainly buy cotton, cotton and chopsticks. Mom, how much do you want?”
Zhang Liu carefully calculated, then told her daughter all the details, and Lin Chunnuan remembered it.
“Mom, clean up the table, I’m going to make mint. This can sell for a lot of money, so I have to make some pots today. I need to speed up.”
Lin Chunnuan threw down her bowl and chopsticks, and went to make the honey mint. Today, all of the menthol s had been refined into honey mint, and all of the menthol s had been made into honey, but all of the honey had been used up, Lin Chunnuan felt that it was a pity.
After drying the honey mint stall, they wrapped it in seven or eight oily paper packets before wrapping it up,
“Wangzhige, I remember that I need to buy some oily paper. I wonder when I can use it again.”
“I’ll remember to buy it when I come back.”
The oil paper was actually quite expensive as well. It was because Dou Wang was going up the mountain that he used the money from selling his prey to buy some oil paper, which he had been saving on. He had to use it many times before he could use it again and again, but he would not throw it away.
Lin Chunnuan also specially made the bamboo tube so that the lid was nailed together with the cloth strip to form a full page. This way, it wouldn’t be so easy to get the lid off, and when she opened the lid, it wouldn’t need to be held in one hand. It was simply too convenient.
“Warm Spring, you’re so smart. You can even think of such a method.”
There were many people in the village who used a bamboo tube, so no one thought of using this method. Although the lid of the tube was very tight, it was still possible to fall off after walking for a long distance.
“What’s there to be smart about? You just haven’t thought about it yet. Look, it’s so simple to just do it like this.”
Lin Chunnuan was modest, this was definitely not something to brag about, but Zhang Liu also thought that her daughter was smart, even though it was a simple matter, other people did not think of it that way.
“Alright, let’s hurry up and leave. Otherwise, when we reach the town, the shop will close. Without money, we’ll have to sleep on the streets.”
Hearing her words, Dou Wang peeked at her expression. Seeing her serious expression, Dou Wang didn’t dare to say that he still had money at home.
It was only when they were on the road that she told him her thoughts.
“Wangzhige, my mother has never seen so much money. I’m afraid that she won’t be able to accept it, so let’s hide all the big money first and leave only some small money for some pocket money. We can keep the big money as a backup, but unless it’s a last resort, don’t take it out.”
There was nothing that Dou Wang wouldn’t agree to Lin Chunnuan saying. See, right now, only he and Chun Rou shared this kind of secret, and in addition, Chun Wen didn’t treat herself as an outsider at all. She said that the money was reserved by two people, for them to pay so much attention to it, Dou Wang was truly happy and excited.
“Mm. Let’s just hide the money properly. After this summer, we should be able to save up a lot. By then, everything you want to do will be more than enough.”
Dou Wang happily calculated for Spring Warm. If he knew that Spring Warm was still thinking about building a house, he probably wouldn’t be so happy.
The two of them walked very quickly at the beginning, and warm spring had good stamina, after all, they had never stopped training, but because they were carrying things on their back, and they were also carrying sweet mint, which was made from oil and paper, and Dou Wang was carrying a pack of peppermint stem s that were picked clean and cut into pieces, their speed gradually slowed down.
“Warm Spring, you should rest for a bit, we’ll be in the forest soon, it’ll be better when we get there, after all, there’s no sun like this, but there might be wild beasts appearing in the forest, and our walking speed will be faster, don’t lose strength later on.”
Hearing that there was the possibility of wild beasts appearing in the forest, and thinking back about it, this was the place where Dou Wang met Great cheetah. Hence, Chun Wen really believed that if Dou Wang was good, wild beasts could appear again here.
“Alright, let’s take a break first and move forward at full speed.”
Lin Chunnuan wiped the sweat off her forehead and found a rock to sit on. Dou Wang just sat beside her.
This is a shallow forest, so there won’t be many large wild beasts appearing. I’ve walked past it three times, and only met the Great cheetah the last time, so I don’t know how the Great cheetah managed to run so far away. “” Alright!
The Reliance Village was surrounded on three sides by the mountain, but the mountain at the back of the village was closer to the village on both sides. On both sides of the village was an open area, and only after walking for a long distance would one be able to see a mountain range.
“If you say it like that, then this Great cheetah really has run away a lot.”
Lin Chunnuan looked around, the two sides of the mountain was almost indiscernible, only a hazy silhouette could be seen, how far away they were.
“Wangzhige, is there only one village in this mountain range?”
If there was only one village, then how did his mother marry into the Reliance Village? In such an isolated ancient era, Lin Chunnuan really couldn’t understand how these villages were connected to each other.
“Of course, our village isn’t the only one. Going east and going south, there are still several other villages. The distance between them isn’t too far, and they won’t be too close.”
With regards to how close Dou Wang was, Lin Chunnuan didn’t think much of it. Even if they walked for six hours to get to the town, they didn’t think that it was too far.
Although it didn’t have much to do with him, he still felt that he wouldn’t be lonely anymore. Thinking about it this way, Lin Chunnuan felt that it really wasn’t easy to get Dou Wang to leave.
“Let’s go. If we’re late, we won’t be able to make it to the teahouse.”
Thinking about the business, although she felt a little heartache, she had no choice but to get up and continue on her journey. Soon, she arrived at the edge of the forest, and once she stepped into it, she immediately became gloomy.
“Afraid? Isn’t it too quiet? Are you not used to it? ”
Feeling that Warm Spring’s breathing was a little heavy, Dou Wang quickly slowed down his steps. He went to Warm Spring’s side and asked, but Lin Chunnuan shook her head vigorously, as if trying to throw away her uneasiness.
“No, I can persevere.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Dou Wang tied the two paper bundles on his right hand to his left wrist, using his fingers to lighten their weight. Then he used his free right hand to hold onto the left hand that was tied to Chun Wen’s paper bundles.
“Come, I’ll hold your hand. You won’t be afraid.”
