Chapter 375 375, Winter Clothes

Author: Qingqing Muyan

In mid-December, the weather got even colder, and the entire southern barbarian land felt desolate. The fields were overgrown with weeds and looked decayed and yellow.

However, Baiyun Village at this time had a completely different scene.

Nowadays, the winter wheat and potatoes planted at the foot of the mountain are growing very gratifyingly. It has been two months since they were planted. The wheat plants are now 20 centimeters tall, and the potatoes have also entered the fruiting period. It is estimated that they will not grow until next year.

It can be harvested around the first to middle of the month.

As for the two greenhouses, they are full of green and vitality, just like a vegetable garden with rich varieties. Within half a month, the vegetable seeds planted in the greenhouses have sprouted one after another, and tender vegetables have grown.

Seedling.

Watching the greenery growing little by little every day also gives the people in the village a little more confidence to withstand the cold winter, because everyone sees hope. There is food and vegetables. At least they don't have to worry about going hungry in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

If you get cold, you may even die in vain.

Although everyone is in a positive and optimistic spirit and state of mind, our bodies cannot withstand the harsh reality of the cold wind.

"Auntie, why haven't you seen anyone walking around the village recently? What are you busy with?"

On this day, Xia Ning suddenly noticed that the village had been particularly quiet recently. Before, there were people everywhere, and people could still vaguely hear people talking loudly from a distance.

But now the atmosphere in the village is very quiet, and there are no people around the Song family, which is a bit abnormal.

Perhaps because the Song family is the backbone of the village, or because the Song family has a relatively good status and wealth, the entire Baiyun Village is centered around the Song family, and the surrounding area is the most lively place in the village.

So before that, Xia Ning could often see villagers walking around. She didn't notice it a few days ago, and she didn't realize it until today.

During this time, she was busy teaching in the morning and sorting out materials in the afternoon. She also had to pay attention to the situation in the greenhouse, so her attention was basically focused on the Song family's three-acre land, and she didn't pay much attention to what was going on in the village.

She paid careful attention today, and it seemed that except for seeing children during class in the morning, she rarely heard children playing in the afternoon, and there were no women's groups talking about gossip. Even the Huangguoshu tree in the center of the village, where the elderly loved to go, was nowhere to be seen.

There are no scenes like the past.

It was as if the entire village suddenly entered a hibernation mode. If it weren't for the various departments still performing their duties every day, and the construction team building houses, she would have thought that there was no one in the village.

"Hey! Why else? It's too cold." Su Lianying sighed.

"Ah?" Xia Ning was stunned for a moment. Although the weather is a bit cold, it's not so bad that we can't go out and do some activities. Don't you feel depressed since everyone stays at home every day without going out?

Bai Yufu then explained, "Except for the three families we exiled who have no shortage of clothes, how can the other families in the village have the conditions for everyone to wear cotton-padded clothes? In order to protect themselves from the cold, they have to stay at home to block the wind and cold.

.”

Now the two sisters-in-law are familiar with the women in the village, so they understand their situation fairly well.

Song Yunxi also sighed, "I heard Zhenyu say that their family only has three pairs of cotton clothes and trousers, and only his father's brothers can wear them. I also heard her say that many families in the village wear their cotton clothes and trousers tightly when going out to work.

men wore it.

Even the students who come to class wear clothes that they put together at home, and when they return home after class, they have to change into clothes for other people in the family to wear. Anyway, these cotton clothes are for whoever has something to go out to wear."

She was also surprised when she heard that. She didn't expect that their life was so difficult. While feeling emotional, she couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, she was the daughter of the Song family. Not only did their family not have the concept of favoring sons over daughters,

And the living conditions have always been very good.

Except for the embarrassing first few days of exile and some hardships, she really didn't suffer much during her growing up years.

Although she sympathized with her good sisters' difficulties, she would not rashly give away her clothes to others before her family took action.

After all, the Song family's status in the village is now receiving a lot of attention, and every household in the village is not easy. If she gives away someone at the beginning, what about the others?

Therefore, except for secretly subsidizing the food of the Zhang sisters, she no longer made any statements.

"Ah? Can it still be like this?"

Xu Wanqing was surprised. Compared with her mother-in-law and aunt, who had close contact with the women in the village, she had relatively less contact with them because she had to take care of her young son and her ancestors.

Although her background is not as good as those of the big families in the capital, it is still considered a small and well-off family. Therefore, this is the first time she has heard of such a thing. She can't imagine the scene of the whole family taking turns to wear the same clothes. This is too miserable.

Quite a bit.

"Is this true for every household?" Xia Ning asked. She knew that the conditions of the people in the village were not very good, but she did not expect them to be so bad.

In this era, not only are materials scarce, but most of them are poor families. Only the few people at the top of the pyramid are really not worried about food and drink.

"That's almost it." Su Lianying nodded. Not to mention the families who were the original residents of Baiyun Village. The villagers who came with them all abandoned their fields and fled. How could the conditions be any better?

Their family's ability to eat well and wear warm clothes is all due to Xiao Ning's strong support. Now each member of their family has prepared three sets of winter clothes. Even if they donate the excess, it is not enough to distribute to the people in the village.

If Xiao Ning is willing to help, she will naturally have no objection, but she will not take the initiative to ask Xiao Ning to do so.

Xia Ning thought for a moment, "How about I go back and help you purchase a batch of cotton? As for what you do, I don't care."

She did store some warm clothes in the porcelain basin, but they were all modern styles such as thermal underwear, down jackets, cotton coats, and down quilts. It was okay for her and the Song family to wear them privately, but there was no way to resell them to the villagers.

.

What she can do to help is to purchase some cotton and let them make it themselves. At least the cost will be recorded as work points for the time being, and will be deducted after they collect the grain.

In short, it can help everyone develop a good habit of independence. She can help, and she can also provide everyone with some good things in life, but it will never be free of charge.

"Is it troublesome?" Su Lianying really wanted to help. After all, we all share the same sorrows. If we live in the same village in the future, we can be considered half of our own people. But the premise of this help is that it will not hurt the little ones.

Lemon causes any damage.

"No trouble."

Xia Ning said briskly, isn't it just to be a purchasing agent across time and space, what's so difficult about it?

You must know that modern cotton is cheap, but it is not as expensive as Dongchu. She bought it at the modern cabbage price, but in Dongchu she could get a lot of food.

Sure enough, middlemen can get extremely rich!
