Chapter 133 Buying rice
This meal made them extremely satisfied. Their stomachs were full, but their mouths were still full.
The heavy snow never stopped, and they were worried that if they stayed any longer, the snow on the road would become deeper and deeper, making it difficult for the carriage to travel, so they said goodbye to Luo Yu and the others.
After they left, Mu Feng followed Luo Yu to clean up the kitchen and he also washed the dishes.
Luo Yu was worried, and wondered in his heart, if Luo Ci clamored to go to Yun Niang's house again, how should he politely refuse her request?
However, today Luo Ci was acting out of character, keeping her lips tightly shut and not mentioning anything about going to Yun's mother's house. This really made Luo Yu's anxious heart feel a little more at ease.
In fact, she was not firmly opposed to her learning embroidery, but she felt that she was still young and it would hurt her eyes if she learned it too early. If she really had a talent for embroidery in the future, she would naturally support her with all her strength.
However, she hoped that she could learn other skills. When Mu Feng came out after washing the dishes, she saw Luo Yu lost in thought while looking at Luo Ci, while Luo Ci looked at the carriage innocently, looking eager to try and couldn't wait to sit on it.
He did not disturb them, but went to the tool shed, got out some straw, and carried it over to feed the horses.
As for the straw, the two men bought a lot of it when they were preparing to buy a carriage, but the straw in their own fields had dried up and was lying on the ground, and the horses would definitely not eat it.
Seeing the horse eating the grass, Mu Feng also brought some water over to feed it.
"Let's go back to the house. We've been outside for a long time."
"Well, let's go, Ah Ci!"
After returning to the study, Mu Feng sat down to read again, while Luo Yu and Luo Ci sat aside.
Luo Yu looked at the snow falling heavier outside the window, and had a vague feeling that something was going to happen, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Sure enough, the heavy snow fell for five days in a row, with only occasional breaks in between.
Not to mention other places, just in their village, there were several families whose houses were not repaired this year. I heard that the heavy snow crushed them; and the Luo Luo family’s old house was completely covered by the heavy snow.
Aunt Lin was worried at night, so she went to take a look and found that the old house had been razed to the ground. She couldn't help but be glad that her family had moved out, as the house collapsed at night. If they hadn't moved out, one could imagine how tragic it would have been!
Two more rooms of the house where Luo Yu's family previously lived collapsed.
Aunt Lin even came to talk to Luo Yu specially. On the one hand, she felt fortunate, but on the other hand, she was even more grateful to Luo Yu.
Those villagers who could help at this time went to help those whose houses had collapsed to repair them, otherwise they would have no place to live.
At this time, Luo Yu's uncle's family didn't care at all about the collapse of Luo Yu's old house, because no one lived there. If Luo Yu and his family were still living there, they would probably be laughed at.
They were just regretting now. When the village built the heated kang, they were only thinking about how to send their brother and sister-in-law back, and they were just disdainful of the heated kang.
Now they know it’s cold, especially when they visit families with heated kangs, they are even more envious.
So these days they went to the village head to ask for help and took turns to fight.
Luo Dakuan: "Village head, when will Shu'er and Yu'er come back? We also want to build a heated kang in our house!"
Luo Wangshi: "Village head, why don't you ask your son to come back and build a heated kang for our family? We are from the same village, why don't you ask them to build one for us first? Why do you neglect yourself?"
The head of the village was not happy when he saw their faces, but he told them the truth: "The children have gone to other villages to build. They paid the money first. Besides, I don't even know where they are building. How can I ask them to come back? I will tell them when the children come back. They have their own considerations. I have to go and help them."
As the head of the village spoke, he shook his sleeves angrily and walked away without looking back, secretly thanking his luck that they were not there.
The two elders returned to their house with dejected looks on their faces, as if they had been turned away. The whole room was cold, without a trace of warmth, and their resentment towards the head of the village grew even deeper.
Luo Yu and Aunt Lin were at the entrance of the village and did not go into the village to help.
Luo Yu's family stayed indoors all day, cooking, feeding horses and chickens, and practicing calligraphy. A day was considered sufficient.
On market day, Luo Yu and Mu Feng went to ask Aunt Lin and Yun Niang if they wanted to go to town together, as she wanted to buy some rice.
The snow is falling so heavily and for so long. I don’t know if there will be disasters in other places. If we can’t get any food, the whole family will starve.
Luo Yu told them his idea. Although Aunt Lin's family had a good harvest last year, they got very little, so she asked Luo Yu to help buy a bag, and Yun Niang did the same.
"Come on, let's go to town. It's time to let the horses go for a walk."
Luo Yu smiled and talked to Mu Feng, then ordered him to drive the carriage away.
Mu Feng also agreed with Luo Yu's idea. He also guessed that there might be a snow disaster this year. Their village had a good harvest this year and still had some grain reserves, but he didn't know about other places. It wouldn't be a bad idea to buy some for preparation!
"Aunt, aren't they going?"
Luo Yu replied, "If you go, you have to bring the children with you. It's too cold. I don't want to go through the trouble. Please ask me to buy a bag of rice for you!"
"Well, then you and Ah Ci sit down, is the charcoal fire okay?"
He lit a charcoal fire early in the morning and asked them to roast food while sitting in the carriage.
It was only after Luo Yu got on the carriage that he realized his intentions and felt warm at heart.
"The charcoal fire is very warm. You and I will take turns coming in to warm ourselves by the fire. Otherwise, it will be too cold."
"I'm fine, just take Ah Ci with you and don't let him get cold!"
Mu Feng was driving the carriage outside. Luo Yu lifted the curtain and looked outside. It was all white.
Fortunately, there were quite a few wheel tracks, all left by people going to the town. Today, those who could avoid coming to the market did so, and those who came had horse-drawn carriages or ox-drawn carts. Therefore, the bustling crowds on the streets on market days in the past were not seen today.
When they arrived in the town, Mu Feng drove the carriage straight to the rice shop and bought four bags of rice and a bag of flour. He then went to the pork shop and bought a lot of meat. Only when they passed the cloth shop did Luo Yu get off the carriage.
When the proprietress saw that it was Luo Yu, she arranged for the servant to help tie up the carriage.
"What are you going to buy today, young lady? I have brought a lot of rare things to keep warm!"
Luo Yu smiled and sighed: "The boss lady really knows how to do business, then why don't you show me the cold-resistant thing you mentioned!"
The proprietress laughed and said, "Then follow me upstairs to take a look!"
As he said that, he took Luo Yu and the others up to the second floor.
As the proprietress said, there were quite a few items to keep warm. Luo Yu picked out two hot water bottles and a cotton coat. He originally wanted to buy the coat and cloak, but there was only one item, and none of them were suitable for any of the three of them. The price was also ridiculously expensive.
I heard from the boss lady that tiger skin must be very expensive.
Although it was a pity, since it was inappropriate, Luo Yu did not dwell on it too much: "Madam Boss, let's pay the bill!"
"Girl, you don't want to consider the cape?"
