Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Mr. Yu accompanied Xia Shengsheng and her daughter out the door and only entered the yard after watching the carriage disappear from his sight.

"Xia Yi, have you eaten?"

After Xia Shengsheng sat in the carriage, he quickly asked Xia Yi if he had had lunch.

"I have eaten, ma'am. Mr. Yu's mother asked me to go into the yard to eat with them. I was afraid that the madam and the young lady would suddenly come out and not see me, so I didn't go in. Later, the mother brought me food, and I stayed in the carriage after I finished eating!!"

The servants in Mr. Yu's house are also very thoughtful. Mr. Yu is really good at managing the household!

After leaving Mr. Yu, Yiyi was sad for a long time, but she soon got relieved.

There is no banquet that will last forever in life, but there will be a time to gather together again after this banquet.

After all, she would not stay away from Ning'an Mansion for the rest of her life. As long as she had the chance to come back in the future, she would definitely visit Mr. Yu.

Although Yiyi has spent more time with Mr. Yang, the relationship is naturally different because Mr. Yu was her first teacher.

In addition, Mr. Yang has been living in their home, and Yiyi can see Mr. Yang whenever she goes home, so Yiyi is not that sad to leave Mr. Yang.

Xia Shengsheng didn't know how to comfort her, but he was relieved to see that Yiyi had dealt with her emotions.

She really couldn't do the job of comforting others, luckily her daughter was stronger.

"Yiyi, let's go to the cloth shop! If we go to Linyi Prefecture, it may take some time to prepare. I'll take this opportunity to make a few more sets of clothes for you. We haven't made new clothes for two or three years. The old clothes are all washed white. It would be too rude to go to Linyi Prefecture like this!"

Yiyi looked at the clothes on her body. Actually, she didn't care about them, but she didn't want to spoil her mother's interest, so she agreed obediently.

Xia Shengsheng and Yiyi chose a large cloth shop, which not only sold cloth but also made ready-made clothes.

Considering that Linyi Prefecture is so far away, I definitely can’t go home once every half a month like I can when I study in Ning’an Prefecture.

I estimate that it will take at least three or four months before I can go home to visit my family.

Then we must prepare more clothes for Yiyi.

Not only what you wear now, but also what you wear all year round should be prepared in advance, so that you can avoid having no spare parts when you need to wear them! !

Xia Shengsheng helped Yi Yi choose several colors and after measuring the sizes, they made two sets of clothes for spring and autumn, and four sets of clothes for winter and summer.

Yiyi is already 15 years old and has grown to meters tall. Even if she grows taller, it won’t be a big difference. The clothes I have made are almost all suitable for her to wear.

If it is a little smaller, you can change the size later, so it’s okay to prepare more.

Xia Shengsheng also has sizes for the several children in the family, which were specially measured when they came out.

So I made two sets for each of the children. They are often at home anyway, so there is no need to prepare so much in advance. Besides, they are young and grow fast, and if I prepare too much, it will be difficult to change the size when the time comes.

Xia Shengsheng also made two new sets of clothes for herself.

I asked the merchant to expedite the delivery of these clothes and I picked them up three days later.

As for the other people in the family, they bought cloth but did not take it back.

Jin Ling and her daughter, Master Li and Mr. Yang all know how to make clothes. When they are not busy, we can ask them to help make clothes for other people in the family.

Finally, before leaving the cloth shop, he bought two rolls of high-quality cloth.

One is light pink and the other is rose red.

The fabric feels really good to the touch, and the price is good too.

"Mom, are you buying this for Aunt Yaoyao?" Yiyi looked at the color of the cloth and was roughly sure who Xia Shengsheng was going to give it to, so she asked.

Xia Shengsheng scratched Yiyi's nose and said, "You're so smart. Isn't your aunt Yaoyao engaged? Mother has to give her some gifts. I think these two pieces of cloth are good. The red one is suitable for your aunt Yaoyao to embroider a wedding dress, and the rose red one is suitable for her to make a bride's dress. Both of them are very beautiful. Let's send these two pieces of cloth to your aunt Yaoyao before we go back!"

Yiyi nodded and followed Xia Shengsheng, waiting for Xia Shengsheng to pay the bill. Before she walked out of the door with the cloth, Xia Yi had already stepped forward, took the cloth and put it on the carriage.

After Xia Shengsheng brought Yi Yi out, he did not get on the carriage directly, but walked around nearby.

I chose some jewelry that girls like for Yiyi and Shanshan.

Yiyi also used her own pocket money to buy gifts for Master Li, Mr. Yang and Wang Yang.

Then he selected some other gifts and took them onto the carriage.

It was already late at this time, so in order not to delay our journey.

Xia Shengsheng asked Xia Yi to buy some buns on the roadside and take them to the carriage to eat on the way!

Only then did the few people leave Ning'an Prefecture.

By the time they were rushing back, it was already dark. It would be a bad idea to disturb the Chen family so late, so Xia Shengsheng directly asked Xia Yi to drive the carriage back to the village.

I wanted to wait until the next day to go to Niutou Town to find craftsman Chen and his daughter.

The gate to Kaoshan Village is no longer locked.

Under the jurisdiction of the new county magistrate, the place has long since returned to its former tranquility.

Therefore, the village gate was often open and there were no more patrols in the village.

After all, everyone has to work during the day, and if they patrol at night, they probably won’t be able to hold on.

As soon as it gets dark, Kaoshan Village becomes quiet. Just like before, everyone is reluctant to light the lights, so some people go to sleep directly when they have nothing to do after dark.

Some of them were in high spirits and sat outside, chatting in the yard under the moonlight.

When Xia Shengsheng and the others came back, some people heard the noise of the carriage and ran out of the yard on purpose. They wanted to catch up with Xia Shengsheng's carriage, but when they saw someone coming forward, they retreated and did not leave the yard.

Xia Shengsheng heard someone calling her outside, so she asked Xia Yi to stop the carriage. When she saw it was Aunt Liu, she jumped off the carriage and asked Xia Yi to take Yi Yi back first to pack up the things they brought back, while she stayed to accompany Aunt Liu.

"Aunt San, what's wrong? It's so late, is there anything wrong?" Xia Shengsheng asked.

Aunt Liu laughed so hard that her teeth were bared. She looked around to see if there was anyone around and said, "Xiao Xia! I heard from Juanjuan that you are still hiring workers?"

Xia Shengsheng nodded. She had indeed released this news a long time ago to give everyone time to prepare. If anyone had relatives who wanted to come and work, she would definitely keep the right person.

If there is no suitable one, you can also tell other villagers to apply.

After the factory is built, we will officially start work.

"My sister-in-law's niece wants to come and work. She's kind-hearted and nimble, and has no other problems except that she's a little thin. I wonder if she can come?" Aunt Liu asked anxiously.

In fact, her niece from her brother's family was really good at work, but she was so thin as skin and bones due to hunger in the past two years, even though the court had issued relief grain.

But that family favored boys over girls, and gave very little food to the girls, saving the food for the boys in the family.

In this physical condition, even if he worked as efficiently as possible, he probably wouldn't have the strength to do it.
