The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

The next morning, Su He got up and went to the kitchen to find food as usual, and then started to make new fermented rice. This time, she used ten kilograms of glutinous rice. After cleaning up, she went to the house to dress Miao Miao. Although Miao Miao could dress herself, she still liked to wait for Su He to come. Su He would call her gently, and every time she dressed, he would praise her for being beautiful and said she was a baby.

My sister said that baby means the most precious thing, and she is my sister’s baby.

After she puts on new clothes, I will accompany her to have breakfast and start the new day with a full meal.

The winter life of the peasants is very simple. They just eat the minimum amount of food every day and then stay on the kang and move little, day after day, until spring comes and flowers bloom.

This is how all common people in the Great Yong Dynasty lived. The only feast in winter was on New Year's Day.

The whole family gathered together as usual, and everyone knew that Mu Tou would go to school in the spring. Sun's face was full of smiles again. For them, these peasants, being able to go to school was truly a blessing.

Tietou's eyes were full of envy. He knew that his family could not afford to send him to school. In the whole village, only the youngest son of the village chief could go to school.

Mu Tou hugged Tie Tou and whispered, "When I get home from school, I will teach you the characters I learned. Tie Tou, you can also recognize characters."

It was said to be a whisper, but everyone present heard it. Wang Fugui and Zhou were the happiest, and Wang Bin, who was sitting in the corner, was also smiling. This family was quietly moving forward.

No one mentioned the fact that Su He didn't want to get married yesterday, everyone was talking about the New Year.

In the past, Tietou was happiest during the two days of the New Year, which was the most favorite festival for children in the whole winter. Every household would prepare some candies, or at least some wild preserved fruits to keep the atmosphere at home. In the past, Zhou would also pick some wild fruits in advance and dry them to make preserved fruits, and cut sweet potatoes into pieces and dry them to make dried sweet potatoes as snacks. Although they were not as popular as malt sugar, Zhou's craftsmanship was good, and Wang's house was also the favorite place for children in the village.

This day was the day when Su He came to give massages. In addition to Su He and Wang Bin, Zhou and Sun also went with them. Even the three little ones went. They were going to buy some food and supplies for the New Year.

In the past, Zhou would always make an appointment with Wang Laosan in advance, and would go alone. Now that her family had a carriage, Sun also went along to join in the fun. The three younger ones saw that everyone had gone to the county to play, and no matter how much people tried to persuade them, they would not listen and kept clamoring to go too. Su He thought that she had promised to take Mu Tou and Miao Miao to the county to play before, so she decided to go all the way this time.

Only my grandfather and my eldest uncle were left at home to guard the gate. Although the people of Liushu Village were simple and honest, every household had the habit of guarding the gate, and no family would have everyone leave at the same time. Even during the autumn harvest, there would be someone left at home to look after the house, do laundry, cook, and take care of the children.

Although my uncle Wang Quangui and his family have all left, they moved all the valuables in the house to my uncle's house before leaving. This way, they can feel at ease when they are away.

Su He said goodbye to everyone at the side door of the Zhao Mansion, and grandma and her group went to the market to buy New Year's items.

Wang Bin did not enter the Zhao Mansion this time. He arranged his own carriage, held Miaomiao in his arms, and followed behind Grandma. Mu Tou and Tietou stayed close to Zhou on the left and right. Except for Wang Bin, no one else had been to the market for a long time. The market before the New Year was more festive than ever before, and everyone didn't know where to start.

In the end, it was Zhou who made the decision first and bought some fine noodles and rice. Ever since Hehua came, they had been eating the fine grains bought by Hehua. Zhou discussed it with her head of the household and decided that it would not be good to always take advantage of them, so they also had to buy some for themselves.

After buying fine grains, they put them in the grain store and prepared to go shopping somewhere else. There were three pork stalls, and there were long queues at each stall. Zhou saw this and started to arrange work for her family. Wang Bin brought wood to buy meat, including 6 kilograms of pork belly, pig offal, and two pig's trotters.

We have pork, and we still have three chickens that we haven't killed yet, so we don't need meat for now. We still have a lot of salt and lard at home, all bought by Su He, and we can eat them for half a year. We don't need to buy these.

She carried Miaomiao with Tietou and Sun to the cloth shop and said, "Boss, what colors of fine cotton cloth do you have? Show them to me."

Zhou discussed with her mother-in-law and decided to make some new clothes for Su He. Su He had several cotton-padded jackets for winter, so Zhou decided to make spring clothes so that she could wear them when spring comes and she can change out of the cotton-padded jackets.

Because Su He has fair skin, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed buying some fresh colors.

"Ma'am, you've come to the right place. We have the most complete range of fine cotton fabrics. Look, we only have these light green and light yellow. They are newly dyed and fashionable. They are great!"

The shopkeeper looked at this group of people and found that four of them were wearing clothes purchased from their store, and the youngest one was wearing ready-made clothes from their store.

He still remembered that the girl had said before that she would come again in a few days, but he didn't expect that what she said was true.

The shopkeeper was so excited that he introduced only high-end goods.

Sun, Tietou and Miaomiao were wearing fabrics bought by Suhe. This shop was the largest in the market, so it was not surprising to see them running into each other.

"How much is this yellow cotton cloth?"

"Madam, you are also old customers. I will also tell you the actual price. It is 550 coins per piece. I charge 650 coins to others."

Zhou and Sun lowered their heads and discussed for a few minutes. This price was indeed more affordable than before.

"Mom, how about buying half a piece of the light yellow one? I see there's also a pink one, and it would look good with lotus flowers on it, so how about buying half a piece of that, too?"

"Yeah, it looks good."

Sun was also satisfied, but she was not only interested in these things.

"Shopkeeper, I want half a piece of this light yellow and pink, and half a piece of this rouge red. I bought a lot at once, so you can charge me 700 coins. I will come back in the spring."

Zhou was even more anxious than the shopkeeper, "Mother, the lotus does not suit rouge red."

"She doesn't fit. You wear it. It looks good on you. Everyone has new clothes. You should make one for yourself too."

Sun was not a mean person. She chose Zhou as her daughter-in-law, and Zhou had been in her heart for many years. This was a good opportunity to express her feelings as a mother-in-law.

Zhou was stunned when she heard this. She looked at the rouge red again and actually thought that she would look good in it. However, it was only for a second or two. Half a piece of cloth cost more than two hundred coins, so she decided to just wear some coarse cloth.

"Look, you've worked so hard for so long, and the stupid son you gave birth to didn't even buy you a piece of clothing. Your daughter-in-law is also heartless. Today, your mother-in-law pampers you, so just bear with it."

After Sun finished speaking, she ignored Zhou and took out silver from her purse to pay.

"I say, old lady, I don't bargain like you. This is the finest fine cotton cloth, and the color is so tender. 820 wen is the lowest price. Just consider it as I don't make any money today."

"720 wen, I'll give in a little bit, give me some scraps of cloth, and I'll use them to make shoes."

What? You still want to ask him for rags?

Sun and the shopkeeper bargained back and forth, spitting heavily as they negotiated the price.
