The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

As for the mattresses, he picked out different sizes and styles and ordered twenty of them.

After choosing the bedding, he compared the body shapes of Qin Lang and Old Man Zhuang and bought five sets of thick cotton-padded clothes for each of them.

Then, I picked out a few warm items such as scarves, hats, gloves, etc.

Just before I was about to go out, I happened to see a simple windbreaker made of oilcloth in the store.

This thing is a bit like a modern raincoat.

Lu Qingqing tried it on and it felt really good.

I simply took all the remaining twenty windbreakers in the store.

This thing can be used not only in rain and snow, but also when driving.

The oilcloth used to make windproof coats is thicker than ordinary oilcloth, and it really has a good wind-blocking effect when worn.

After leaving the cloth shop, we went to the steamed bun shop in front.

She tasted the delicious noodles in this restaurant and simply packed up all the steamed buns, dumplings, sugar-coated buns, fried cakes and other noodles.

The store owner didn't expect that someone would want so many things at this time.

Seeing that she wanted them all, I happily helped her pack.

Lu Qingqing paid another five taels of silver as a deposit and asked them to make more tomorrow and she would come to pick it up in the morning.

The shop owner happily agreed and said that he would make the noodles overnight to ensure that there would be no delay.

After agreeing on a time to pick up the goods, she left the steamed bun shop and walked to the end of the street.

Seeing that the herbal medicine shop was closed, he made up his mind.

I plan to take Old Man Zhuang out again tomorrow morning.

Some of the medicines that Old Man Zhuang had prepared had already been used up.

Qin Lang didn't know how long he would have to take the medicine, so he went to the pharmacy to replenish it to feel more at ease.

Not long after passing the pharmacy, I saw a small restaurant in front.

Seeing that the restaurant door was open, Lu Qingqing hurried over.

After entering the restaurant, I ordered all the signature dishes.

While waiting for the food, I asked the waiter about the shops in town and what they sold.

What this waiter said was similar to what the waiter at the inn said.

As the dishes were served one after another, Lu Qingqing had almost finished asking questions.

She tasted each dish with a few chopsticks.

I picked out the delicious food and ordered about twenty servings of each.

In fact, she wanted more.

Unfortunately, these are the only ingredients left in the restaurant.

Lu Qingqing had no choice but to let them do as much as they could.

As usual, I have to pay the deposit and pick it up tomorrow morning.

The waiter never expected that such an unprepossessing boy would order so many dishes.

When he heard that she wanted to pack the dishes, he came over to help enthusiastically.

When Lu Qingqing took the vegetables out, it was almost dark.

She looked at the shops at the back of the street and found that almost none of them were open.

So I turned the car around and went back.

When passing a sheltered place, she stopped the carriage and planned to sort out the things she bought today.

At this point, most of the stuff is piled up in the space.

She put the extra purchases directly into the storage area of ​​the space.

If you plan to keep it outside for use, put it in an open space in the space.

In addition, the boxes were damaged by the hail that had fallen earlier.

Big boxes are very practical, so she bought more than ten boxes at the grocery store.

I just cleared out all the box inventory in the grocery store.

At this time, there were only a few boxes that could not fit into the carriage, stacked on the platform behind the carriage.

She put the things in the carriage into the space and moved the boxes at the back of the carriage into the carriage.

Put the box at the very back before starting to put things in.

Among them, the heavier ones remained in the space.

Soon, the several large boxes at the innermost part of the carriage were all stacked there.

In fact, according to Old Man Zhuang’s habit, he usually doesn’t rummage through the boxes inside.

But to be on the safe side, she locked the two boxes at the bottom.

This way, if you encounter any situation along the way.

She could also use these two boxes to take things out.

After putting away the last row of boxes in the carriage, she used a large bag to pack the remaining things one by one.

Slowly stack them up along the big box.

Finally, the messy things that were originally thrown in the car were picked up.

By the time all the work was done, the carriage was packed again.

When I got out of the car, snowflakes started falling outside again.

She drove the car slowly back to the inn.

When I returned, the waiter came out to greet me.

Lu Qingqing looked at the curtain at the entrance of the carriage and planned to replace the curtain with the carriage door.

She had originally planned to ask the waiter if there was a carpenter in town.

Unexpectedly, the carpenter in this town died a few years ago.

Nowadays, families in the town generally do their own carpentry work.

Things like cabinets, which require high levels of carpentry skills, are bought in the county town about 20 miles to the west.

As for the small chores on weekdays, I do them myself.

The waiter saw her disappointed face and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Sir, my father used to be an apprentice to a carpenter.

However, I have only studied for more than a year and my skills are not particularly good.

But small parts like carriage doors can still be made.

If you don't mind, I can let my dad try this job."

Lu Qingqing agreed immediately.

"Brother, I'm sorry to trouble you with this.

But we have to set off after breakfast tomorrow morning.

Can this carriage door be finished by tomorrow morning?"

The waiter thought about it and agreed.

The weather this year is so abnormal!

The crops in the field were buried in the snow before they could even grow.

Dad has been very worried these days, fearing that another disaster will happen.

Because of the snow, it’s hard to find a job.

If I take this job now, my dad will definitely be willing to do it.

There is some wood at home, so I can light the oil lamp when the time comes and it won’t delay my work.

It’s just that we’re a bit pressed for time, but my second brother is here to help.

It should be done in one night.

The waiter took the money, said something to the shopkeeper, and hurried home.

When Lu Qingqing returned to the house, Old Man Zhuang was reading a medical book by the light of an oil lamp.

Seeing her come back, he put away the medical book and rubbed his dry eyes.

"Qingqing girl, you are finally back.

My waist hurts from sitting here. I need to go back and lie down.

By the way, how was your shopping?"

Lu Qingqing took out a water bag and handed it to him.

"I went out a little late today, and many shops were closed.

Tomorrow morning, let’s eat and then go out to buy some.

Take this water bag, it's filled with hot water.

The weather is dry and cold now, so drinking some hot water before bed will help you sleep better."

Old Man Zhuang took the warm water bag and sighed with comfort.
