A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises

For five consecutive days, with the help of Tian Changqing and several other men, the cellar of Tian Danian's house was "freshly baked".

Compared with the cellars of ordinary families, the Tian family’s cellar is larger and has been simply “decorated” inside.

Tian Danian and his crew brought back a lot of wood as thick as arms from the mountains. The height and length of the wood were based on the height and length of the cellar.

One piece of wood after another was laid out in a circle along the walls of the cellar, and even the ground was covered with wood by Tian Danian.

Although this was a big project, after Tian Danian's work, the Tian family's cellar looked much more solid and cleaner than ordinary cellars.

The most important thing is that Tian Danian thinks this can prevent insects and rats.

But even so, Wang, who has been fighting wits and courage with rats for many years, is still a little worried.

She planned to spread some broken rice mixed with rat poison in the cellar after buying food for her family.

At that time, if any mouse dared to come to steal food from home, the mouse's life could be saved.

Tian Xiaoman really wanted to tell Wang that, in fact, there was no need to go through so much trouble.

As long as she says hello to Fat Gray, no mouse would come to steal food from her house.

But what? Since his mother was so happy about it, Tian Xiaoman would just let her do what she wanted.

The most important thing is that she has to find a time to give Fat Gray a "friendly reminder" to keep his little mice under control and not come here to steal food. If one of them really eats the rat poison and dies, it will be her fault.

Now, mice are not our enemies, but our brothers.

However, even if she told her mother about this, she probably wouldn't believe it, right? She might even think she was crazy.

Early in the morning on the 28th day of the winter month, Tian Danian drove his own carriage and went out with Wang, Shitou and Tian Xiaoman.

The carriage left Tianjia Village and headed straight towards the county town.

Today, the family is going to buy food.

In order to make the purchase of grain appear less high-profile, Tian Danian planned to purchase the grain in batches and from different places.

Anyway, they would just put it in the carriage of their own carriage. Even if the villagers saw the carriage, they would not know what was inside.

Tian Danian felt that what his little girl said was right - one should be relatively low-key in life.

Shitou originally worked in a rice shop, so he naturally knew which rice shop in the county had cheaper rice and which rice shop had more favorable prices for noodles.

After going to several stores in succession and asking about the prices, Tian Danian discovered that compared with the last time he entered the county town, the price of grain had risen by two cents.

I'm afraid that by the time the Chinese New Year comes, the price of food will go up to an extreme level, right?

Alas, no matter it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is the ordinary people like them who have to live in misery.

After a round of shopping, Tian Danian finally bought 500 kilograms of rice and 500 kilograms of flour.

There were ten bags, each weighing one hundred pounds, and they were all stuffed into the carriage.

Fortunately, the carriage was large enough, and even after putting these ten bags of grain, there was still a lot of space left, allowing Wang and Tian Xiaoman to sit in a place that was sheltered from the wind.

As for stones, of course they can't get into the carriage.

He was almost an adult man, so how could he squeeze in with women? Wang arranged for him to go to the front and drive the carriage with Tian Danian.

In addition to white rice and flour, Wang went to the grocery store and stocked up a lot of seasonings for daily cooking.

Passing by a meat stall, I bought several large pieces of lard, a pork leg, and thirty pounds of fat and lean pork.

Now that the weather is cooler, there is no need to worry about the meat not being able to be kept.

Besides, Wang had no intention of keeping the meat for fresh consumption. She wanted to make more smoked meat and store it in the cellar.

Smoked meat can be kept for quite a while.

In winter, there are no proper vegetables. Cutting a piece of it, even stewing some cabbage and radish, would be a very good meal.

When passing by a grocery store, Tian Xiaoman was very sharp-eyed and noticed that they were selling sesame oil. It was packed in small porcelain bottles. The bottles were not big, probably about 500 to 600 milliliters.

She insisted on persuading Wang to buy two bottles out of her own pocket.

Looking at the bottle of sesame oil in his hand, Tian Xiaoman felt that he could finally reward Fat Hui properly this time.

When all the things were loaded onto the carriage, Tian Danian thought that everything was done and he was ready to drive home.

Wang took him to the cloth shop and bought a lot of cotton and cloth.

This time, all the things were stuffed into the carriage, and the entire carriage was filled to the brim.

Wang and Tian Xiaoman sat inside, unable to move.

"We all have cotton-padded clothes, why do we still need to buy cotton and cloth?"

Qian Danian looked at the two pieces of cloth his wife had bought, one navy blue and the other gray-brown, obviously intended for making clothes for him or his sons.

Wang smiled and shook her head, saying in a reproachful tone, "You are such a careless person. Our family has enough cotton-padded clothes and we have replacements, but what about Hanhan?"

Tian Danian then realized, yes, ever since Hanhan came home, he has been wearing his own clothes.

It seems that my wife is going to make cotton clothes for the child Hanhan.

That's right. My clothes are, after all, for a middle-aged man. When worn by Hanhan, they look old-fashioned and don't have the youthful vigor that a young man should have. I still need to make a few new ones that fit me.

The Tian family had bought a lot of cotton before, and there was some left over. Later, as the weather got colder, Wang used the remaining cotton to make a cotton door curtain and installed it at the door of the main room. So now there is no leftover cotton in the house, and they have to buy new cotton.

The round trip to the county town today only took half a morning, which shows how fast Tian Danian's carriage was.

On the way, Wang complained that it was a good thing that it didn't snow and the road was not slippery, otherwise it would be unsafe for the horse to run so fast.

The next day, Tian Danian and Shitou went out again.

Where to go? Of course, the county town!

This time I came back quickly again. Well, I didn’t buy anything else, just some food, so of course I came and left quickly.

This time, Tian Danian bought sorghum rice, millet and beans.

Five hundred kilograms of millet, eight hundred kilograms of sorghum, and three hundred kilograms of beans.

Beans are a good thing. They can be fried and eaten as a snack, or they can be grown into bean sprouts and served as a dish.

On the third day, Tian Danian and Shitou went out again, and this time they brought Hanhan with them.

The first two times, Hanhan was not brought along. Hanhan was bored staying at home and kept clamoring for two days to go with him. This time, Tian Danian planned to go to the next county to buy more food and bring it back, so that he could take Hanhan with him to take care of him on the road.

Although Hanhan is a young kid, he is very strong. He can fight ten people at once. Having him around is like having a bodyguard. It gives you a sense of security.

After all, Tian Danian still has psychological trauma from the last time he was robbed on the road.

He feels unsafe whenever he goes out.

Hanhan is a reassurance. With Hanhan by your side, you will definitely feel safe.
