Without much thought, the two of them could guess that those skins could be exchanged for a lot of money. In this era of material scarcity, prey furs have always been very popular.
Rabbit fur is especially warm, and most people in the countryside use it to make hats and shoes, and some even make it into vests to wear inside.
However, not everyone can get so much fur. A small piece of rabbit fur is already very valuable, not to mention such a large piece of wolf fur.
If you make a coat out of it, it will look so impressive when you wear it outside. Moreover, people in the city are very competitive, which Song Tanglan has also witnessed.
However, they were temporarily unable to send the furs to the commune to exchange for money because the weather outside was either snowing or windy.
After such a long period of snowfall, the road to the commune was already buried, and it was too unsafe to go out at this time.
The days passed by in the drizzling snow, and soon it was Laba Day.
The weather outside began to clear up with the arrival of Laba Festival. The sun became bigger and bigger, but only small snowflakes were floating in the sky.
The idle people took out various beans and started to cook Laba porridge early in the morning. Although this winter is long, everyone has food and will not go hungry.
Song Tanglan looked at the Laba porridge made from various beans, smelled the fragrance, and looked at it curiously.
"Little sister, you just want to eat? You have to wait a while for the Laba porridge!" Song Tangcheng teased her with a funny look when he saw her little look.
Because of the cold weather recently, they have to cook several days' worth of staple food in one day. They prepare all the dishes for the whole day every morning and just put them on the kang to keep them warm. They can eat them whenever they want. For this purpose, they also specially dug out a small stove to make it easier to heat up the dishes and reduce the loss of firewood.
The weather outside is so cold now, and we have little ones at home, so we have to heat the kang every day. The firewood is constantly decreasing, and Song Tangcheng is also very worried, especially this winter, and we don’t know when it will end.
"No, I was just curious about how many kinds of beans there are. They taste pretty good."
"Of course. I asked your second brother-in-law to buy more beans this year. Look, the bean sprouts and tofu we eat now all require beans."
Song Tangcheng felt very proud when he thought about what he had arranged.
Because she had given birth and had to take care of the baby, she didn't plant many vegetables in her private plot. Apart from those given by her mother-in-law, the rest were beans, cabbage and radishes exchanged from the team, and potatoes that could be used for meals.
These were just a few dishes, less than what she had prepared in previous years, so she had decided early on to ask her husband to buy more beans so that they could eat in different ways.
But she really didn't expect that this snow disaster lasted through the New Year's Eve, Spring Festival, and Lantern Festival. The snowflakes floating in the sky never stopped, and it was still snowing in March. The snow around could no longer pile up, and Captain Cheng now organized everyone to move the snow to an open area every once in a while.
They won’t all pile up at home and bury the whole house.
Looking at the falling snow in March, everyone fell silent. Captain Cheng was both worried and anxious. In view of this situation, spring planting must be postponed. This postponement has made them worried about the harvest at the end of the year. They all guessed that they would go hungry next year.
Although this snow brought various problems to the team, it also made them more united. They would go out from time to time to remove the snow at the door and transport it to the open space to watch.
As a result, many people caught a cold, and the clinic had almost used up all the medicines they could use. Fortunately, they had more medicinal materials in stock last year, otherwise, even after killing the wolves last time, there might not have been enough to give them medicine.
Song Tanglan looked at the snow outside and stretched his arms out of boredom. He had been staying at home almost every day for the past six months. Except for occasionally playing with Mumu, who had grown a lot, he spent the rest of the time in a daze out of boredom.
"The spring planting has been delayed this year. I don't know what the situation is like in other places. Has the family prepared more food? Is there enough food to eat? Will it snow over there? After all, the weather is so weird now." Song Tangcheng held his chin and thought wildly.
"I don't know, but we wrote home asking them to prepare more food. I think Mom will pay attention to it. But Xiaozi is so pitiful. I heard from Dad that he was sent to the army and is studying medicine with an old Chinese doctor."
"Hahaha, dad is a man who would cheat his son. Now that you mention it, I'm also curious about how my little brother is doing now!"
Song Tangzi, who was always talked about by them, was currently studying medicine in the north with an old military doctor.
As soldiers in the army were also undergoing military training, they had to train together, and the apprentice Song Tangzi was no exception. After this period of continuous training in cold weather, he felt that as a southerner, he didn't like snow so much anymore.
Now he wanted to write a letter home and ask his father to take him back, but the army would not allow him to pass through. He couldn't complain to his family, so he could only endure the cold training in the harsh north.
Song's father was really cruel to his youngest son. He threw the 14-year-old boy directly into the army. Even at such a young age, his neighbors knew about his actions, and many people said behind his back that he was cruel.
However, they only dared to discuss it in private, and no one dared to make it public. After all, joining the army was such an honorable thing.
Yes, when others asked, the Song family said that Song Tangzi had joined the army, and did not tell outsiders the truth that he was going to study medicine.
However, Song Tangzi has learned a lot in the past six months. His father's old friend really trains him as the successor. He not only lets him study surgery, but also lets him study traditional Chinese medicine. His daily schedule is also full of courses.
Apart from standing at attention outside in the middle of winter and running around the playground, he spent the rest of his time immersed in academics. When he had a rare moment of rest, he would pick up the things his heartless father had given him and keep scolding him.
He felt that it was all because of his father that a 14-year-old boy like him had to go through so many hardships. He suspected that Song's father just couldn't bear to see him having a good life and wanted to make things difficult for him because he saw him living a comfortable life.
