"The next room is empty, right? Tang Can, come and help me." Qin Zijin happily held the cotton bow in his hand, pulled Tang Can with one hand and went to the next room.
The next room was the same size as the one they were staying in.
But it was even more dilapidated, with a big hole in the roof. As soon as he entered the door, the cold wind blew in his face, making Qin Zijin shiver.
Tang Shen also frowned and looked up at the roof.
"Hurry, use the benches and wooden boards to make a simple bed for me. It's best if it's bigger than the one next door. Three door panels are best." Qin Zijin rubbed his neck, then looked at the situation in the room with satisfaction.
Because Tang Shen lived here alone before, it was quite clean.
It was a little cold, but Qin Zijin didn't care.
Upon hearing this, Tang Shen obediently went to help with the work.
Qin Zijin went back to the next room and took off the quilt cover, revealing the black and hard cotton inside.
Then he took off the cotton coats of the two children, asked them to stay in the house by the fire and not run around, and then he went back to the next room with the quilt.
Tang Shen has already set up the bed for Qin Zijin's house.
Two long benches and four door panels form a simple bed.
Watching Qin Zijin enter, Tang Shen went over to take the things from her hand before asking her, "How is it? Is this okay?"
Qin Zijin went over to take a look, felt the sturdiness of the wooden bed, and nodded: "Not bad, it's fine. You can go do your work first, and leave this to me. However, I can only make one quilt in a day. I can give it to the old carpenter tomorrow to make his."
"It's okay, I'll send it back to him tomorrow."
"The weather is so cold, does he have a quilt? I hope he doesn't catch a cold at night." Qin Zijin couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Then I'll go ask him later. After that, I'll go see if there are any gains from the traps I set yesterday." Tang Shen said and turned to go out.
Qin Zijin fixed the cotton bow on her body and began to play cotton for the first time in this era.
I still feel a little excited and nervous.
If she is really successful, she can also take on some work in the village. She can save some cotton from one quilt and make a few more. Then she will have cotton for Tang Simeng and Tang Ruixuan's new cotton-padded clothes, right?
Then I can secretly exchange some silk cotton from the system mall and mix it in. This way, I won’t have to worry about the two children getting cold this winter.
Qin Zijin started working according to his memory.
At this time, Tang Shen also went out and went to the old carpenter's house.
The old carpenter was still basking in the sun in the yard. Since there were fewer people in the village looking for him to work, he had a lot of free time.
"Master, do you have any quilts at home? I'm afraid your quilt can only be delivered to you tomorrow. Tonight..." Tang Can stood outside the door and shouted into the yard.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about me. Just send it back to me when it's done." The old man replied while rocking comfortably in his rocking chair.
Tang Shen was relieved.
After leaving the old carpenter, we went directly to the pond at the entrance of the village.
This pond has been around for many years, and in winter, almost no one comes here to fish because there is nothing to catch.
Tang Shen didn't have much hope in his heart, he just wanted to come and take a look.
The trap had been down for a day. He found the location where the trap was tied, untied the rope, and pulled the trap up little by little.
The resistance was enormous and heavy. Even though Tang Shen was very strong, it took him a long time to pull the trap up.
Before I even got ashore, I could hear the sound of splashing in the water.
Tang Shen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he exerted force to pull the two traps out of the water completely.
The ground traps were full of fish. At a glance, there were probably more than a dozen fish in one ground trap. The big ones were as thick as an adult man's thigh, and the smaller ones were as big as a palm.
"So many?" Tang Shen himself was a little surprised.
Because it was right at the entrance of the village, it attracted many people who were originally chatting under the old banyan tree to come over and watch.
Originally everyone thought that Tang Shen's efforts would be in vain, but unexpectedly, he caught so many fish in one go.
The fish here probably weigh almost a hundred kilograms!
Chen Meilin and Cao Chunni were also in the crowd. Their eyes turned red as they looked at the fish.
"Tang Shen, you're so lucky! Even in the summer, few people can catch fish in this pond, and you caught so many in one go. How long will it take to feed them?"
"Tang Shen, are you selling fish? Your family can't eat that much. My little grandson is craving fish. It's a pity that it's hard to buy, especially in this weather. There are not many fish sellers in town."
"Exactly. Sell a few. You have a small family and can't eat that much."
The eyes of several aunties who were gathered around suddenly lit up, and they all came forward to buy Tang Shen's fish.
Tang Shen hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Aunties, whether or not to sell this fish, you need to ask my wife. I'm going home first. If you want to buy some fish, follow me home. If my wife says she's willing to sell it, you can buy some and eat it. What do you think?"
"Okay, Tang Shen is still the best. He knows how to love his wife."
"That depends on who his wife is. Qin Zhiqing is one of the most beautiful women in the city. She would be considered a city flower if she were in the city."
"Hahaha, that's not true. Besides, Qin Zhiqing's cooking is so delicious. My wife keeps talking about it every day, saying why Qin Zhiqing's cooking is so delicious. I also tried to learn it, but unfortunately, I didn't learn anything. What a waste of wolf meat yesterday. It didn't even taste as good as pork."
A few people followed Tang Shen back, chatting and laughing.
Cao Chunni was so angry that she nearly gnashed her teeth to pieces. She looked at Tang Shen's back with a sinister look and couldn't help but curse, "What's wrong with this little bastard? Why is his luck getting better and better lately?"
"That's right, Mom. Is there any problem?" Chen Meilin couldn't help but nod.
"Let's go home. We can't let his luck keep going this good. We have to find a way." Cao Chunni looked vicious and turned to walk home.
Chen Meilin's eyes lit up and she ran home too.
She couldn't bear to see that Tang Shen's family lived a good life, especially Qin Zijin. Which man in the village didn't mention her now?
Even Tang Wei has mentioned it several times at home.
The envy in his eyes could hardly be hidden!
Chen Meilin hoped that Tang Shen would be in trouble, and Qin Zijin would be in trouble as well. It would be best if their family could not survive. She would be happy then.
