The next day, the weather suddenly turned from autumn to winter, and in the morning the village was filled with white mist.

It was very cold on the way to the market, and everyone was wearing thin cotton-padded clothes worn only in spring and autumn.

Some elderly women in the village have clothes that are many years old, and their clothes are not warm enough.

Mao Mingzhu was shivering from the cold along the way and scolded, "It's too cold. The sun should come out quickly to warm up..."

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it looked like there was no sun.

She raised her feet and shook off the mud on her feet and said, "It's so cold, why don't you wear thick cotton clothes? It's fine when you walk, but it will get even colder when you sit in the market."

"Now that I'm wearing winter clothes, I won't be too cold..." Mao Mingzhu stretched out her hand to wipe the snot from her cold nose.

Mao Xiaosui didn't quite understand, "It's cold in winter and there's fire. If you don't wear it now... what should you do if you get cold?"

Zhang Zhi reached out and pinched her clothes, and was immediately envious, "Your cotton clothes are so thick."

She also reached out and touched it, and laughed, "It's stuffed with cotton."

The ladies in the village touched this and that, and finally said, "I never wore such thick clothes when I first got married. Li Yunshan is really willing to give it up. He got a lot of money, right?"

"It's quite expensive." She gave some advice to a few people. "In the summer, you can make clothes by plucking the little feathers off chickens, and they'll also keep you warm."

Several people's eyes widened at once.

Mao Xiaosui explained, "It's hot in the summer, so it's okay to pull it out. It will grow back when the time comes. Just don't pull out one of them when it's bald. It's fine to pull it out less often. Pull it out once a month and slowly save it and sew it in when the time comes." "

Mao Mingzhu laughed, "You girl have so many ideas, why didn't we think of them?"

She laughed, "I didn't expect it. I'm afraid I couldn't bear to do it."

Everyone laughed, and Mao Mingzhu also said, "I will pull out some as you said next year. This day will be too difficult."

Others also echoed.

Next to her, Lu Xiaoxia looked absent-minded, so she didn't ask any questions and hurried on with her head slightly lowered to prevent the wind from hurting her face.

Today, the market is full of people wearing cotton-padded clothes, and the shouts of the vendors sound very lively.

Li Yunshan found a seat on the bridge today. When she walked over, she saw an old lady coming to the stall.

She thought she was here to buy fish, but when she arrived, she heard Li Yunshan say, "Here we come." Then the old lady looked towards her.

She suddenly understood and asked with a smile, "Grandma, do you want to buy eggs?"

The old lady nodded, "You haven't been here for a long time. The ones I bought from other people's stores are not fresh. You are an honest girl in business, so I can rest assured when buying."

Mao Xiaosui put down the basket, put out the soap, and then asked, "How many do you want, grandma?"

"Are you still buying twenty and getting two free?"

Mao Xiaosui smiled and said, "No, twenty for free."

The old lady frowned and said, "Didn't you get two for twenty last time?"

"Last time there were too many. I'll give you two this time. I won't give you two next time. It's going to be winter soon, so I have to save eggs."

The old lady was happy when she heard this, but asked, "You won't send it next time?"

"It's been cold today, and the eggs won't go bad, so we have to save them."

"Is it from the past few days?"

"It's just one episode apart."

"Then give me...sixty." After saying that, he asked, "How many of the sixty will you give me?"

"Four, I can only give you one more." Mao Xiaosui said, "There were only seventy-two in the basket."

"Then just give it to me. You're not easy to sell anyway."

Mao Xiaosui was not angry when he heard this, and said in a good-tempered manner, "No, grandma, this is really the last time I give it away, four is a lot."

"You can't sell eight of them." The old lady said and started picking eggs.

After seeing too many scoundrels, Mao Xiaosui was afraid that he would regret it later, but he smiled and repeated it again, "I charge you sixty coppers for sixty-four eggs. It can't be cheaper than this."

"Okay, okay..." the old lady said.

For sixty-four eggs, the old lady finally gave him sixty coppers. Just as she handed the money to Li Yunshan, another person came to the stall.

Her eyes were still looking at her basket of eggs, and she was shocked when she saw that there were not many of them, "Did you sell out or didn't bring any?"

"I just had a grandma buy all the episodes when she heard I wouldn't give them away next episode."

"Not giving it away?" The woman's eyes suddenly widened.

She had to explain again, "I gave it away before because it was hot and I was afraid that it would become stale if I kept it. Now it's cold, not to mention that the chickens will stop laying eggs soon, so naturally I can't give it away like before."

The woman felt pity when she said this, "Can I sell these eight eggs for a copper coin?"

"Auntie, do you want to buy fish? If you can get twenty coppers, I'll give you one."

"It's cold today, and we may not be able to catch fish. This year is obviously colder than last year."

The woman looked a little hesitant, and finally waved her hand, "There are many people at home, and there are children. The children can't eat the fish they buy."

Mao Xiaosui was also embarrassed and glanced at Li Yunshan beside him.

Seeing Li Yunshan nodding, he said, "Then take the seven copper coins and take care of my business in the future."

The woman nodded quickly when she heard this and said with a smile, "I bought most of my eggs this year from you."

Mao Xiaosui also laughed and said, "Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't sell it to my aunt like this."

After saying a few words and waiting for the others to leave, she handed the money to Li Yunshan and sighed, "I'm afraid I'll be unhappy if I don't give it to you after a long time."

“It’s not just the buyers who are unhappy, but also those who don’t have enough chickens at home are even more unhappy.”

"Then we have to sell it."

"So don't worry about it. The business of this market is that everyone sells his own goods."

She nodded and quickly started the business.

Lu Xiaoxia was not far away from them, and her eyes would glance here from time to time.

She felt surprised, "Why didn't Li Yunqiang come? He seems to come less frequently now?"

Li Yunshan also glanced over there and nodded, "Maybe he's busy with grain."

There's no sun today, but as long as it doesn't rain and there's no wind in the afternoon, we can harvest the grains we've dried in the sun.

After shouting for a while, some fish were sold intermittently. The sky still didn't look like it was going to be sunny, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger.

She didn't feel too uncomfortable even though she was wearing thick clothes. The mother and daughter in the stall next to them were still wearing single clothes. The girl looked very young, maybe three or four years old, and her sleeves were one section too short, exposing her underwear. The skin outside was blown black and blue by the wind, and it looked cold.

Li Yunshan followed her line of sight and glanced over there, saying, "They sell food, but they don't fight."

"How to sell it?"

"I said I borrowed someone else's bucket to measure it before I came here. Thirteen buckets."

"That's no good. You have to let other people look at you when selling things. How can she just say how much she wants?"

"So no one buys it." Li Yunshan looked away and shouted to sell fish.

Mao Xiaosui's eyes immediately turned to him, with a smile on his face.

Li Yunshan ignored her and was busy with business seriously.
