"Mom, do we need to change the car curtain?" Yun Yiyi pulled at the curtain, which was still made of a layer of cloth.

Zhang said hurriedly, "Yiyi, there's no rush for the curtains. Let me lay out the carriages first, then think about the curtains."

"Okay, Mom. But this curtain won't block the wind when you sleep at night."

"Mom knows. She will definitely change the curtains to thicker ones before going to bed at night."

"Mom, you are so capable."

"You can sleep for a while in the cart. I will go and make the bed for the donkey cart."

"Okay, mother."

Zhang carried the basket and came to the donkey cart.

"Old Three, Zirui, go play in the back carriage. I'm going to make the bed in this carriage now."

"Come on, auntie."

"Right away, mother."

After Yun San Ge and Xie Zirui left, Zhang directly lifted up the sheets and quilts that had been laid out previously.

Then, she spread the fur directly on the mat. There were a lot of things on the donkey cart. Plus, only the second and third brothers of Yun were sleeping there, so there was no need to make a big bed.

Therefore, Zhang used six furs, and laid a blanket directly on top of the furs. On top of the blanket was a clean old coarse cloth sheet.

Finally, put the quilt and pillow for the child in place, and the bed is made.

The quilts they covered themselves with were all newly made by Zhang. Yun the Butcher and Yun Yiyi had bought a lot of cotton before, and Zhang made cotton clothes for everyone.

The remaining cotton is basically used to make quilts.

Zhang used the old quilt as a mattress pad, and the quilts he used were all newly made 10-jin cotton quilts.

Zhang and Yun the Butcher felt sorry for their children, so Yun's second and third brothers were covered with new cotton quilts.

There were also two new cotton quilts in the compartment where Brother Yun and his companions were. Brother Yun and Xie Zirui shared one quilt.

Yun Yiyi covered herself with a quilt.

As for the carriage belonging to Yun the Butcher and his companions, Zhang had originally planned to take apart the old quilt and add new cotton into it.

When Yun Yiyi saw this, she spread the old quilt directly inside the carriage. There was no other way, Zhang and Yun the Butcher were also covered with a new quilt.

Zhang touched the thick cotton quilt and thought that the children would not be unable to sleep due to the cold this time.

"Mom, with the thick quilt you made, we won't be cold tonight."

"Haha, mother thought so too. Wait, mother will hang a layer of old coarse cloth on the carriage now. I hope no wind can get into the carriage."

"Mom, you've worked hard.

Zhang quickly surrounded the carriage and hung a layer of old coarse cloth. She instantly felt the carriage warm up.

However, the wind blew through the curtains into the carriage. After finally warming up for a while, I was chilled again.

Zhang carried the empty basket and returned to the last mule cart.

"Wife, you have prepared the carriage so quickly."

"This isn't difficult, and it will definitely be quick to lay. I won't talk to you anymore. Once I finish laying the floor in this carriage, I can make the curtains."

"Okay, my wife has worked hard today. When we take a break to cook, you take a break and I'll cook.

"You really have to cook today and be the head of the household. You also have to sew the car curtains later. Otherwise, the wind will keep coming into the car."

"Okay, wife, just finish your work. I'll take care of the cooking."

Zhang started to make the bed. As she was doing so, she heard someone talking outside the carriage.

She leaned over and looked over. "Sister-in-law, how did you find time to come here? Come up quickly, it's too cold outside."

The old lady of the Wu family got on the mule cart, took off her shoes and got into the carriage.

"It's getting colder now. Brother Wu, let me see how you pack your carriages so I can learn from you."

"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. To be honest, it's all thanks to you and Angkor for exchanging the furs for us."

"Look, sister-in-law, when I make the bed, I put the mat first, then the fur, then the quilt, and on top of that the old coarse cloth sheet."

"Feel it and see if it's thick and warm?"

The old lady of the Wu family touched it and said, "Oh, this is a good idea. After it is laid out like this, it will be soft and warm."

"To be honest, I did switch the fur and the quilt at my place. But it's not as soft as yours. Of course, it's just as warm."

"Sister-in-law, I was thinking the same thing. The bottom of the carriage is also windy. Put the fur underneath. Then the wind won't blow in. It will be warmer this way."

The old lady of the Wu family clapped her hands and said, "You are so smart. Why didn't I think of laying the bed this way? When I go back, I will move the mattress and the fur to another position."

Mrs. Wu touched the thick quilt and asked, "Is this the new cotton quilt you made?"

Zhang nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law. At that time, the village bought a lot of cotton in the capital. Every family was allocated some cotton."

"My family joined too late and missed out on a lot of good things."

"Sister-in-law, it's never too late. Your family is getting better and better now."

The old lady of the Wu family smiled and said, "Yes, my life is much more comfortable now than before."

"By the way, what are you going to do with the old coarse cloth? Are you going to make clothes?"

"No, sister-in-law, I'm going to use old coarse cloth to surround the entire carriage to prevent the wind from getting into the carriage."

"But, sister-in-law, you have furs at home. I suggest you hang the furs directly inside your carriage. It will be warmer that way."

"If you think the fur is too conspicuous, you can hang a layer of old coarse cloth over the fur, and it will not be conspicuous that way."

"My family has no shortage of furs, but there probably isn't much old coarse cloth left. Some time ago, my two daughters-in-law made a lot of thick clothes for the family."

"The old coarse cloth should be almost used up."

"It's okay, sister-in-law. I still have some old coarse cloth here. How about you take a roll of old coarse cloth from me and use it?"

While helping Zhang pull the old coarse cloth, the old lady of the Wu family whispered, "That's great. You really helped me a lot."

"Don't worry, I'll trade you my fur. It's cold now, and fur can be used in many places."

Zhang also smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I will accept it shamelessly."

"Since there are no outsiders, I won't hide it from you. Before you came, I was still worried. Because after all three carriages were covered, there were not many furs left in my house."

"Sister-in-law, look at this car curtain. It's just a layer of cloth. It doesn't block the wind at all."

"I was thinking of sewing the furs together and putting a layer of old coarse cloth on the outside, and then hanging them up as curtains. The curtains would also become thicker, and the wind wouldn't be able to get into the carriage at all."

The old lady of the Wu family's eyes lit up, and she excitedly grasped Zhang's hand, "Oh, how come you are so smart."

"You can come up with such a good idea. My trip today was really not in vain."
