After Xu Qi left, Lu Qi put away his smile and quickly called over the people he trusted.
"Have your men secretly investigate who has acquired the Xu family's businesses and assets. Remember to do this secretly and make sure no one finds out."
"Okay, but Master Lu, it's been so long since the incident happened, so it will take some time to investigate."
"It's okay. You've waited for so many years. Do you still care about this period of time?" After saying that, he picked up the tea and started drinking.
He has been investigating the Xu family's mortal enemy for many years, but he never thought that it was because there was a traitor around him.
If I hadn't seen Xu Qi again, I might not have suspected his brothers.
…
After the autumn harvest, they rested for three days. During these three days, the two sisters always made all kinds of delicious food and provided them with delicious food and drinks every day. The three days of rest also replenished a lot of energy from the previous few days.
It’s just that after the autumn harvest, the rainy season begins, and it rains from time to time. Sometimes when I wake up, the ground outside is wet, proving that it rained last night.
Whenever it rains, Song Tanglan feels both happy and bored. He doesn't have to work on rainy days, but it just drizzles from time to time, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
As soon as the rain stopped, many people went up the mountain with backpacks to pick mushrooms. There were the most mushrooms on the mountain right after the rain. Every time Song Tanglan followed Xiaohu and the others, they picked up mushrooms in large baskets.
However, the mountain road was very difficult to walk on after the rain, so they needed to be extra careful.
"Lanlan, no one has picked up the mushrooms here yet, come quickly." Su Tao just pulled aside a piece of grass, and the mushrooms growing underneath were immediately revealed.
Song Tanglan walked over and looked at the mushrooms on the ground and was very happy. After the continuous rain and sunny days in the past few days, they harvested countless mushrooms in the mountains.
If it weren’t for my second sister helping to dry the mushrooms at home, the mushrooms might have gone bad long ago, not to mention that Cheng Fangyuan was leading the way for them.
Every time she filled her backpack with mushrooms, she would put the remaining mushrooms into the space. They couldn't be dried in the space, but they could be kept as fresh as possible. When she found an opportunity, she could secretly take them out and dry them.
The drizzle lasted for a long time, and they had been doing very easy work for the past half month. Many aunts were drying the grain in the threshing ground, while Song Tanglan continued to cut grass for the pigs.
Some of the remaining people were clearing the land, while others were hoeing and weeding. Although they had run out of food, the cabbages and radishes in the fields were still there, and some of the potatoes planted later were not yet harvested.
Amidst the constant hard work and busyness, winter once again arrived in the Red Star Brigade, and the weather began to gradually cool down. This was Song Tanglan's second winter in this time and space, and they had been in the countryside for a whole year.
The yellow leaves on the mountain gradually fell off. People felt the change in temperature when they woke up and skillfully took out their winter vests, coats and long gowns from the cupboards.
When Song Tanglan woke up, she saw Mumu wrapped up tightly. Although the clothes she wore were not very thick, just a thin coat, she looked even more adorable.
"Oh, our Mumu is so cute. Come and give your aunt a kiss." After saying that, she gave him a kiss on the face. The little guy thought Song Tanglan was teasing him, so he giggled.
"Stop teasing him! Come help me put these dried mushrooms and chestnuts into the cellar. The weather is getting colder very quickly this year. Normally, people would still be wearing short sleeves at this time in previous years!"
As Song Tangcheng spoke, he became increasingly confused, but his hands kept moving, sorting out the things he had not had time to sort out during this period, and taking out the results that had not been handled properly.
Store all the dry ones in the cellar.
When Song Tanglan heard her words, she was in a trance for a moment and thought of the contents of the book. Speaking of which, ever since she went to the countryside and stayed away from the heroine of the original book, she no longer regarded this world as the world in the book. Especially when she found that the original trajectory could be changed, she became even less vigilant and just ate and drank every day.
Life is more comfortable than in the previous life.
However, when it was mentioned at this time and the temperature changed so strangely, Song Tanglan still noticed the seriousness of the matter. If there is really a heavy snowstorm next spring as the book said, then the family far away in the city will be even more sad. After all, it will be difficult for the family to buy food at that time.
Thinking of this, he gave an ambiguous reminder. "It's cold now. Maybe winter will come early this year. I need to write a letter home and let my family pay attention."
"I really need to write a letter back. I need to prepare some warm clothes in this weather."
After Song Tangcheng finished speaking, she returned to her room and took out the cotton coupons she had saved over the years. She planned to buy more cotton and make an extra quilt for her family. However, all the cotton coupons she had were only enough to buy 5 kilograms of cotton.
Seeing her counting the cotton tickets, Song Tanglan understood everything and hurried back to her room to take out her remaining cotton tickets and gave them all to her second sister.
"Second sister, take it if you need it. If you don't have enough cloth, come to me for more. I have some." She brought two quilts with her when she went to the countryside, which kept her warm at all. She also had two sets of thick cotton-padded coats, so she didn't plan to make new ones.
"Why don't you keep the cotton tickets to make new clothes?" Song Tangcheng picked up the cotton tickets handed over, counted them and teased.
"I just made two new sets of clothes last year, so I don't need to make any this year." Anyway, the styles are the same every time I wear them, so it's useless to make any.
Winter clothes in this era are mainly for keeping warm, so they are made relatively loose so that you can wear multiple layers underneath. The styles are also relatively simple and plain, so she never thought about getting a very trendy piece.
Anyway, everyone wears clothes like that, which is good for keeping up with the times. What's more, he is a weakling in combat. Without absolute strength, being too beautiful is a sin.
