Chapter 51: Top-Secret Place for Hiding Things
Liu Yunshuang smiled and got up from the ground.
"Go and get the things quickly."
"Why."
Xu Zhiqing responded and went to the west room.
Xu Zhili was totally confused, but he still followed his sister.
This kang has a secret. The place for burning fire is real, but there is also a dark hole in the middle, which is also real.
In the past, my father always hid something in it.
Now, it's her turn.
No one would have thought that there would be a mechanism here.
Go to the kitchen cellar and carry over all the rice you got earlier.
There are only about five or six pounds left outside, which is enough for eating in the next few days.
The two children had almost packed up the things over there.
"Don't put these two cans of food, the big biscuits, and the rice noodles in there. Eat them quickly in the next two days."
Xu Zhiqing felt something was strange. It seemed like her mother was in a hurry. She didn't know what was going on.
However, she chose to believe it and not ask any further questions.
"Mom, do you want to bring those potatoes over?"
"Don't take that. Put it in the cellar."
Firstly, there is not such a big place here, and secondly, it would not be justified if there is not enough space at all.
After finishing all these, she put all the money and bills on the beam, as well as the pair of bracelets she had left, into the long wooden box and stuffed them in.
Then, carefully put the blue bricks back and cover them with the protective plate.
"Listen carefully, both of you. All our belongings and food are here.
Never disclose it to anyone, and if someone comes looking for you, don't look in this direction.
To avoid suspicion, understand?"
"I know, we just don't have anything at home."
Xu Zhili patted his chest and said to her.
Liu Yunshuang was quite satisfied with his attitude.
"Mom, what happened?"
This child is quite sensitive.
“No, I just feel that there is nothing else going on in our family right now.
I'll go to work when the rain stops.
With so many things displayed out in the open, it's easy for people to notice them.
There can’t be people behind our house every day. If mushrooms start to grow behind us, you guys will go out.”
It is for this reason that every autumn, in addition to the rush to harvest.
It’s the things on the mountain that are the most rare.
The three northeastern provinces are vast and rich in resources, and many wild fruits and vegetables ripen in autumn.
Especially mushrooms, fungus, hazelnuts and walnuts.
They are all on the mountain, and everyone has agreed that whoever grabs it first owns it.
Even children go up the mountain during this period.
"Yes, our mother has considered everything carefully."
"Okay, I'm going to make breakfast, you guys go get some water and wash your faces."
"Okay~"
On rainy days, unless there is something special, everyone will take a rest.
No one in the entire production team went to work.
I can’t go out, so I stay at home.
They are on this side of the road, with no neighbors on either side, and the wall of her house is higher, so it is even quieter.
Liu Yunshuang kept her promise and began to teach the children how to write.
Starting from the simplest “1, 2, 3”, the two children were very serious, even Xiao Zhiyi.
Although she couldn't write, Liu Yunshuang gave her a piece of paper and a pencil and asked her to write and draw as a game.
The three children were all lying on the kang table, quietly, and Da Zhuang was lying in his doghouse.
She took out the curtain fabric she had bought earlier, which now had frayed edges.
You need to lock the edges with thread all around, otherwise it will be very easy to get bald.
While there is time, do this.
Since the cloth coupons were limited, I only bought window curtains for this room.
When there are tickets later, I’ll buy one for Dongwu.
"Mom, do you think my writing is good?"
"Well, it's pretty good. It's just that this 2, it would look better if it was a little straighter at the bottom~"
Praise should be given when it is due, and guidance should be given when it is due. Nothing should be left out.
The four of them, mother and children, were busy with their own things, and the scene was surprisingly quiet and harmonious.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The heavy rain has been going on for three days and there is no sign of stopping.
It's also dark during the day. There are no glass windows at the moment, and the entire house is made of paper. People with poor eyesight probably can't see clearly.
Their house is okay, as there is paper windows on the top and glass windows on the bottom, so it is a little brighter.
Liu Yunshuang finished the curtains in one day and now started making clothes for the children.
After the rain stops, the weather will get colder and you can just wear long sleeves.
First, let’s make Xiao Zhiyi’s pants. Pants are easy to make, so let’s make pants first.
The uniform material used is black dark blue cloth, which is thick and stain-resistant.
For the top, use navy blue cotton cloth. Children are active, so darker colors are better.
In that era, everyone made their own clothes. Her mother was very good at needlework, and the three sisters all learned some from her.
Children’s clothes are not big and can be put on in just over a day.
However, Liu Yunshuang did not put it on her directly.
After sewing, use a large lacquered teacup, fill it with hot water, and iron it so that it will be smoother.
Then, you have to wash them again, and the fabrics may not be very clean.
The weather is bad now, it's gloomy and difficult to work.
While cooking dinner, light up some more fire and grill some.
Early the next morning, little Xu Zhiyi put on new clothes.
The top that Liu Yunshuang made for her had three buttons, a little below the right shoulder.
It has a bit of a neo-Chinese feel. In fact, many people wear this kind of clothes in this era.
The little guy was very happy and seemed to have a different feeling about the new clothes. He ran around and kept touching his belly.
The second one was made for Xu Zhili, and it was the same as the one for the youngest daughter.
The only difference is that the buttons of the shirt are placed in the middle, forming a full row, which makes it look very lively when worn.
Xu Zhiqing's pants are the same as everyone else's, and her top is made of white fabric with light green small florals, the same style as Xu Zhiyi's.
"Mom, this is so pretty~"
She knew her daughter would like it.
“When Zhili finishes this set, I’ll make it for you.
The remaining part can be made into two handkerchiefs."
"Well, Mom, I'm not in a hurry. I'll do it for my brother first."
Xu Zhiqing enjoys this special privilege very much.
It feels so good to be cared for by my mother.
"Oh, Mom, why doesn't the rain stop?
It has been raining for three days and I can’t go out to play.”
Glancing out the window, Liu Yunshuang sighed. There was nothing she could do about this matter! "Okay, just learn to write at home and wait until the weather clears up."
There were some things she couldn't tell her two children.
I don’t know how to say it.
