Chapter 888 Buying Firewood (Additional Update 2)

"Is this really true?"

Lin Jing looked at Xu Wanning quietly: "When did I lie to you, Aning? You know, I will never lie to you

. Xu Wanning An's words comforted Xu Wanning, and she was in a good mood at this time, "Okay, I'll leave it to you to find people in the village to buy firewood. Try to buy as much as possible. My family has never been to Heilongjiang Province and probably can’t bear the cold here. Let’s keep the fire burning brightly every day so they won’t get sick easily.

“When buying firewood, don’t keep the price too low. Even if we buy a house full of firewood, we will only have an extra ten or twenty yuan at best, but if the villagers can earn a few cents more, they can buy an extra meal of meat during the New Year

. There is no limit on meat tickets, so you can buy more meat.

But every household is not rich, and even if there is no limit on meat tickets, everyone can’t spend much money to buy meat.

“Okay, listen to Aning. I'll go buy firewood first while it's still dark.

"You asked Maoning to go with you to

your brother. It's just for you.

Xu Wanning just finished talking to Xu Maoning and asked him to go with him to collect firewood. All the brothers stood up.

"Let's go together .

" "No, no, please sit down quickly. Just let my brother and Maoning go with Lin An.

"A Ning, aren't we your brothers? ? Why are you still treating them differently?

"That's right, he only asked Mao Yan and Mao Ning to go, and didn't take us brothers seriously at all! " "

Listening to everyone's words, Xu Wanning explained helplessly: "My brother has been training under difficult conditions all year round. The cold weather is barely bearable for him, but the other brothers either work in offices or hold scalpels. Yes, I'm really afraid that you will freeze.

"Then you should let me go with you. What does it mean to let Maoning follow? Can he beat me or outrun me?" Lin Maoqing snorted coldly and said to Xu Maoning: " Sitting obediently, Mao Yan and Lin An and I went to collect firewood

. Xu Wanning felt helpless.

She thought that her brothers would be fine after they got married, but she didn't expect that they hadn't seen each other for a while, and her sisters-in-law were all sitting beside them. , but they are still as naive as before.

But Lin Maoqing is right. Although he is not from the military, he is still a big leader. His training is no worse than that of Xu Maoyan and Lin An

. You are stronger.

"A-Ning, come and sit

down." Xu Huajing patted the empty seat beside her. After Xu Wanning sat down, she asked: "We are a big family, we didn't even say hello, we just rashly Will it embarrass you if I come here?"

"No, just thinking that I can spend a reunion year with my family this year makes me very happy.

Mother Lin mentioned before that she would go back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. At that time, Xu Wanning thought that no matter where she celebrated the New Year, it would be the same with whomever she celebrated.

But after Xu's mother came, Xu Wanning suddenly realized that she was looking forward to celebrating the New Year with her family.

Probably, this was Carving in China. The feeling in the bones of Chinese people is that a family must be neat and tidy.

But before, the small family of five with her parents and brothers has become a big family with an eldest uncle, two uncles and an aunt.

Of course, apart from that . Being pregnant and unable to travel long distances, and having to accompany her wife's second brother and sister-

in-law ,

Xu Wanning announced that this year would be the happiest time in her life. The happiest year.

"As for your mother-in-law..."

"An Ning, the meal is ready, hurry up and invite everyone to eat

. Mother Lin's loud voice came from the kitchen.

Xu Wanning shrugged: "Look, my mother went to the kitchen to cook as soon as you came. She is more thoughtful than me, which means she really welcomes you."

At the dinner table, Mother Lin said a little embarrassed: "I'm in a hurry." I didn’t have time to make delicious food, so I made our Heilongjiang specialty, pork stewed vermicelli, and steamed some rice. Don’t mind it. Wait until tomorrow. I will make a big table of delicious dishes to greet everyone

. "You're too polite. This is already very good.

" We didn't even say a word to you when we came, so we came over suddenly. It's really embarrassing

. "Hey, what's the point? We are all a family, so don't say those polite things." That’s it, let’s eat quickly. Let’s eat some hot food to fill our stomachs

. Xu’s mother has already followed the local customs. She is wearing a big cotton-padded jacket and holding a spoon to serve everyone rice. She also doesn’t forget to cover the rice with stewed pork vermicelli.

“That’s how you should eat it. It’s delicious. Try it. My mother-in-law is very good at making this dish. I’ve been here for so long and I’ve never gotten tired of eating it every day.

“Don’t tell me, it’s really delicious. I came here when I was young. During my trip to Heilongjiang Province, I ate several meals of pork stewed vermicelli and I couldn’t forget the taste. However, after all these years, I have never tasted the authentic taste again. It’s just this taste. It’s delicious.

“If it’s delicious, eat more of it.” There were also dried potatoes and dried beans in it, which were not available in Beijing.

Seeing that everyone was enjoying the meal and not complaining that the food was not good, Mother Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tsuenquan, go to the village and ask who has newly made cotton-padded jackets. They must be arranged for Aning's aunts and sisters-in-law, otherwise they will freeze to death in this cold weather.

Xu Wanning said: " Mom, every household in the village is not rich. To buy cloth, you need cloth stamps, and to buy cotton, you need cotton stamps. It was not easy to dress my mother up last time.

"I do have some cloth and cotton here. I can make a few outfits." Cotton clothes are enough. I'll just ask some aunts who are good at making clothes to help me make a few.

It's definitely fine for Mrs. Lin to make one or two clothes herself, but there are more than ten or twenty people in the Xu family. She It couldn't be done at all.

So they had to ask the aunts in the village for help. They would get the fabric and cotton themselves, and everyone would just have to pay a little more for the work.

At this time, Lin An also took Xu Maoyan and Lin Maoqing to find the big house. The captain explained his purpose of coming,

“Do you want to buy so much firewood?

"Yes, Aning's family has come to Dajiang Village to celebrate the New Year, so all five kangs in the house have to be burned, which requires more firewood. " I pay two cents for a bundle of firewood. Anyone who has more can sell it to me for

two cents, which is already a sky-high price.

You know, before the mountain was closed, firewood was taken to the town and sold. Sometimes three bundles of firewood could be sold for only a dime.

"Anzi, this price is a bit too high. Just pay a dime per bundle.
