Hu Xiaoyi took a breath, explained everything to Hu Lin, and then went home carrying his shoulder pole.
No wonder the village chief's family had a bicycle at this time. It seemed that the family could earn a lot of money every year.
"Why didn't you think of taking the grain to the Hu family to grind it into powder? Don't they have the tools at home?" Hu Lin wondered.
What kind of person is Hu Xiaoyi? The family has not been divided, so farm tools should be shared. Why doesn't he realize this?
"You said earlier that we've broken up, so how can I bother your grandparents again?"
What Hu Lin said earlier made him feel ashamed to go to the house and he always felt guilty.
Hu Lin: "..."
He really knew how to leave her speechless.
"We haven't split up the family yet, so what's wrong with using it?" That was ten cents, enough to buy three eggs with some left over.
Hu Xiaoyi didn't answer Hu Lin and just kept walking forward.
Hu Lin didn't say anything else, because he knew Hu Xiaoyi was a big idiot and no matter how much he said, it would be useless.
Li Aihua was using rabbit fur to make lining at home. When she saw them come back, she poured them some boiled water.
It's December now, and drinking boiled water in this weather will make you feel cold.
Hu Lin pursed his lips and said, "Let's go to the county town tomorrow to buy a thermos. Winter is coming soon. How can we live without hot water in winter?"
"What else do you need to buy? Count it and I'll go buy it tomorrow."
After Hu Xiaoyi finished speaking, he was about to get the food out, but then he remembered Hu Lin and asked again:
"are you going?"
Now that Hu Lin is in charge, Hu Xiaoyi is willing to accept defeat and ask Hu Lin for advice on everything.
"No." Hu Lin put down the bowl and went to the kitchen to light a fire and prepare to cook.
"I don't have a shopping book at home. If I want to buy a thermos, I need a thermos ticket. Can I exchange it for meat tickets?"
The family can eat wild game every now and then. During this period, he has pickled a lot of it and hung it in the house to dry.
There was no shortage of meat at home, so he asked this question.
"no problem."
Hu Lin did not ask about the purchase book in detail. The meat ticket was not an important thing to her now.
Hu Xiaoyi took out the grain and said to Hu Lin, "You stay home and cook. I'll go get another load of grain."
There was plenty of food, and he was the only one working, so he had to seize every moment.
"Then we can only eat porridge at noon." Hu Lin's cooking was either porridge or dumpling soup.
With her current height, she is unable to handle things like steaming rice, and Hu Lin is also unable to handle other complicated meals.
"Okay. I'll go." Hu Xiaoyi said as he went out carrying his shoulder pole.
Li Aihua, who couldn't do anything, moved to the kitchen door with her crutches and said, "Girl, how about I help you?"
Hu Lin glanced at Li Aihua and said with disdain, "You don't want your legs anymore? Stay still and do your work."
After being scolded, Li Aihua did not feel aggrieved, but rather somewhat happy.
"By the way, what's the use of the shopping book?" Seeing that Li Aihua was still not leaving, Hu Lin asked again.
"Every family has a shopping book. With the shopping book, you can buy some standard household daily necessities without tickets," Li Aihua explained.
Hu Lin nodded.
They didn't split up, so they couldn't enjoy this treatment.
From morning till nightfall, Hu Xiaoyi did not dare to stop for a moment and finally he managed to carry back almost all the food.
There are still dozens of kilograms of coarse grain flour left, and I can only wait until tomorrow to get it.
After a night's rest, at dawn, Hu Xiaoyi went to the storage room to pick up the flour ground from the coarse grains.
After coming back and having breakfast, he hurried to the village entrance to take a ox cart to the county town to buy things.
These days, more and more adults go to the county town. Everyone goes to the county town to buy things, and everyone carries a backpack or basket.
There are quite a lot of things to buy for the house, from small items like oil, salt, seasonings, and vegetable seeds to large items like cloth, soybean oil, thermos, and enamel basins.
Hu Lin slept separately from them, and she didn't want to share an enamel basin for washing her face with them, so she asked Hu Xiaoyi to buy it for her.
After a trip to the county town, Hu Xiaoyi returned with a lot of gains.
Hu Xiaoyi bought a bamboo thermos, which cost him three yuan. Together with other things, the total was fifteen yuan and fifty cents, leaving him with five yuan left.
In addition to the things Hu Lin and Li Aihua requested, Hu Xiaoyi bought twenty extra eggs to nourish Li Aihua's body.
Hu Lin had no objection to this. Li Aihua looked at him and felt a slight wave of emotion deep in her heart.
This was the first time Hu Xiaoyi took the initiative to do this.
When he had free time, Hu Xiaoyi would put sweet potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, taro and other vegetables in the cellar.
The dried grains were put into the cupboard, and a washstand was built for Hu Lin.
After more than half a year of practice, he is now considered a carpenter.
Although the weather started to get colder, Hu Lin still insisted on going up the mountain to exercise every day.
After Yang Qing was on vacation, he came to eat more and more often.
