If we can get wet in the snow together one day, we can grow old together in this life.
So he took this as a good omen, meaning that he and Ali would grow old together.
The snow in the sky was just small flakes at first, but after a while, it began to fall down in large flakes.
In his previous life, Chen Li had seen a lot of snow in the apocalypse, but in the apocalypse, snow was not a good sign, because this person would be frozen to death again.
But it’s different here. She can enjoy the snow to her heart’s content without having to worry about the snow causing too much harm.
Thinking of this, I became distracted, and when I came to my senses, I saw the man beside me.
"Why are you still standing there?"
"You didn't invite me in."
Pei Yu knew what she meant, but he felt uncomfortable, so he deliberately misinterpreted her meaning.
Chen Li: ...
Is that what she meant?
"Then you stay here."
"etc."
Chen Li put down the foot she had just raised and asked him with her eyes: Do you have anything else to say?
Pei Yu took out a folded paper from his arms and handed it to Chen Li, "This is a thank you gift for you, take a look?"
Chen Li didn't take it, "You've already brought so many gifts, I don't dare to accept them."
"Those things are not expensive. They are not gifts for you. They are moving gifts for your family. This is my thank you gift."
Chen Li looked over, hesitating whether to take it. He said that the things he brought were not valuable, but she didn't believe it at all.
Moreover, the piece of paper in his hand was light and fluttery. It didn't look like a banknote, but more like a land deed or a house deed. It was really hard to take it.
Seeing that she hesitated and refused to take it, Pei Yu spoke again: "That account book will be of great use to me. It is far more useful than these material possessions."
"You helped me find it, which saved me a lot of trouble. And you'll like this thank you gift."
"Even if I didn't find you, you would have found me. I was just one step ahead."
Seeing her awkward look, Pei Yu chuckled softly, and the man's hearty laughter echoed in the courtyard.
"Ali, what are you afraid of?"
What am I afraid of? Of course, I’m afraid of being too deeply involved with you.
After muttering a few words in her heart and looking into his smiling eyes, Chen Li hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take it, "What is the market value of this house? I will give it to you at a discount."
Pei Yu did not refuse. If he didn't accept the money, the house would not be given away.
"We are old friends. I will sell this house to you at the original price, 3,000 taels."
Chen Li opened the paper. The address of the house was No. 3 Chunhui Road. She had only seen this place from afar. The roads inside were wide, and there were often carriages coming in and out. The common people would automatically avoid that place. It was obvious that this was the residence of wealthy officials.
The houses there are not cheap, but this place is considered the safest in Qingxi County.
Chen Li thought about it and decided that since they were going to buy a house, it would be the same to buy it from Pei Yu. Besides, it was not like she was not willing to pay for it.
Thinking about it, he felt much more at ease. "Wait here for a while, I'll go get you the banknote."
Pei Yu nodded with a smile, but when he saw him walk into the room, his expression quickly darkened, but returned to normal after a while.
Chen Li took out five silver notes of one thousand taels each and handed them to Pei Yu.
Pei Yu only drew three tickets. "That's the number we agreed on."
After receiving the silver, the man walked out of the yard. Looking at his back, I inexplicably felt that he seemed a little angry.
Forget it, I can't figure it out. I put away the silver notes and house deeds and walked outside. I have been too busy recently. It is snowing now and the family has not prepared charcoal and coal.
She and her brothers are not afraid of the cold, but her mother, sister-in-law, and Bai Yao are not, so they still need to prepare something.
Shen Changshan and the others were sitting in the side hall to rest. There was a cold wind howling outside, and even though the doors and windows were closed tightly, it was still a bit cold inside.
"Father, mother, eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother."
There is only one family here at the moment, everyone else has gone to rest.
"Ali is here, sit down."
Lin Cuicui patted the seat next to her and asked her daughter to sit over.
"Dad, we don't have any charcoal at home. Let's go to town and buy some tomorrow."
Lin Cuicui shook her head. "A-Li, you don't need to buy any more. A-Jing and A-Nian brought some over, and Young Master Wei also brought some. We now have 80 kilograms of charcoal at home."
Chen Li held her mother's hand, and their hands, one cold and one warm, formed a sharp contrast.
"Mom, we still need to buy some. My sister-in-law will be giving birth soon. The room can't be too cold. Besides, you are afraid of the cold. It would be much better to put a brazier in the room."
Shen Changshan and Shen Jingyuan both nodded. Ah Li was right. They, the grown men, were not afraid, but their wives were not.
"Okay, I'll buy it tomorrow."
Shen Yuanzhou thought that charcoal was not cheap in winter, so he asked, "Little sister, can you make charcoal?"
Chen Li looked at her third brother. Not bad. It provided an idea for making money.
It wasn't gray before, but as a survivor who has been struggling in the apocalypse, I really know how to make charcoal.
The winter in the last days is cold and long. If she doesn't want to freeze to death, she can develop auxiliary superpowers. She learned how to make charcoal from others.
Of course, it’s not free, you have to pay for it with supplies.
Moreover, Chen Li remembered the dense patch of ash trees he had seen on the mountain before. They could indeed be cut down to make charcoal, but he had to talk to the village chief first, otherwise it would be very troublesome to argue with him later.
Seeing her silence, the family looked at each other and knew that something was going to happen.
It just so happens that the family has been spending a lot recently, and Shen Changshan has been worrying about how to make money all day long. Maybe now there will be some ready-made money.
"Yes, it might be a bit tiring. Dad, Big Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, do you really want to do this?"
Shen Changshan nodded, "As long as I can make money, it doesn't matter if I'm a little tired."
"Okay, there's a vacant space in the backyard. Dad, go find the village chief tomorrow and buy that piece of land, and then you can kiln it in the back."
"Little sister, isn't our place quite spacious? Why do we need to cook outside?"
Chen Li patiently explained, "Charcoal produces some harmful gases during the burning process. It's not suitable to inhale them for a long time, so it's better to stay away from them."
"Oh, Ah Li, first tell us, how do you make charcoal?"
