The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family - #423 - Chapter 423: Convenient
Yan Yu: “Grandpa Luo, it’s snowing one after another. Let’s temporarily stop our fence and store food and firewood. The food can be bought upstream or downstream. Before the river freezes, we can still Run around, pick as much firewood as you can, and never have too much.”
Village head Luo nodded and said: “The food you pull this time, if you divide it, it will be gone. There are still things you want but haven’t bought. In this way, the snow has stopped. I’ll ask the big guys who wants to go, and they will have enough rest.” Time to get busy.”
People of his age can’t see the young and strong in the village idle.
Are you free? It’s all alive if you look at it casually.
“Xiao Er, do they recognize it? You have to take this bunch of bears with you. This time let them go by themselves.”
Yan Yu: “It should be recognized. I will try not to go out in the future. My mother is a month old, so I have to stay at home.”
“That’s right, you can rest assured that your uncle and your father are at home.” Village Chief Luo nodded.
“Grandpa Luo, there is one more thing.” Yan Yu told the boy scouts about to withdraw from the Arrow Tower. “There are five arrow towers in the village. It is not necessary to put people on each of them. Except for the arrow tower in the center of the village, the other four will take turns every day.”
“Also, will Xue Zongqi’s barracks be moved? Why is there no movement?” Yan Yu is very concerned about this, and simply set up a tent on a piece of wasteland to house some wounded soldiers, and send it to the distribution point if there is nothing to do Are you done eating and drinking?
It is true that people from Xiao’an Village are training. Going to the mountains to hunt has gained a lot, but it is far from moving here from the military camp.
“We are also concerned about this matter. I heard that the Huju frontier army is currently short of people, and they cannot be transferred from other places. That Xue Zongqi went to Gufeng, saying that he wanted to recruit soldiers from those who fled the famine. .”
Village Chief Luo’s tone was a little bit embarrassing. If they hadn’t come early and bypassed Gu Feng Dahuju’s side to come in, it’s hard to say what would happen now.
Yan Yu: So that’s what happened.
“We can see this clearly. Moving the barracks here must be good for the village. If they really don’t have anyone, we can help.” Village Chief Luo said.
Yan Yu talked about the children’s study.
When this matter was mentioned, Village Chief Luo smiled all over his face: “I heard San Tie come back and said that this is a great thing, and we have to be the second child who can control these monkeys. Don’t worry about the school, the place is safe.” It is ready-made, the land south of the village center, our village came forward to buy it, built a bright house, repaired a fire wall, and used it for the children in the village to study, that old man Kang, the scholar said he was knowledgeable, let him teach you .”
…
The sledge is not difficult. Qi Wu found a few helpers and made it in a day.
This time when we went to Huju, the donkeys and mules of each family changed their styles and were put on large sledges.
Yan Yu also changed to a bigger one.
Luo San tried to drive the donkey for a few steps, and said with a smile, “This is much lighter than the frame of the cart. The donkey saves effort and runs fast.”
Yan Yu wrapped the eldest sister tightly and asked her to sit down. She also wrapped the carbon tube and fixed it on the sledge, so that as long as the eldest sister stretched out her hand, she could hug it.
I sat opposite her, with several bundles stuffed on the sledge.
The donkey is the main force for this trip, and the dog, like them, has a seat.
When the group was ready, they set off with their mules and donkeys.
I have to say that the sledge is a new thing.
The feeling of gliding across the snow is even more novel, not to mention the half-grown child, even Luo San feels high-spirited.
In the white snow field, I ran like I was having fun.
That’s a fast ride.
Apart from the cold spot, there are no other problems.
Da Ya only showed a small circle of her face, and she was wearing a two-layer mask, talking in a muffled manner.
Facing the wind again, I could only shout loudly: “Xiao Er, the people behind can’t see it!”
Compared to the speed, Yan Yu’s donkey must have ridden the dust, but she took a shortcut, and she ran a lot beyond it.
“It’s okay, elder sister, Uncle Luo and the others know each other well, so we can’t lose them!” Yan Yu shouted, “Elder sister, are you cold?”
Da Ya shouted: “It’s not cold, how about you, Xiao Er?”
Yan Yu said loudly: “I’m not cold either, so Gouzhu will protect me from the wind!”
Gouzhu raised his head, let the wind blow, and remained motionless.
“Xiao Er, what’s that in front? It’s dark!” Da Ya said suddenly.
Yan Yu stood on her feet and looked forward.
It’s not a big deal.
There is indeed something.
“It seems to be a car, won’t you go?” Yan Yu immediately said: “Sister, sit down, don’t get down, I’ll take a look when I get closer.”
The big girl hummed, and looked forward nervously with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Yan Yu stroked the dog, and with the other hand touched the stick that was put up before, feeling a lot more at ease.
The donkey slowed down very smoothly.
When he got close, Yan Yu could see clearly that the frame was broken on the way.
There are stones under the snow, a bump, the axle and the wheel are separated.
From a distance, I heard the coachman driving the coach yelling, and after hearing a few words, Yan Yu knew the situation.
The car was rented, and it broke down on the way. The driver asked the person in the car to make up some money.
“I want to take the official road. You took this small road for the sake of convenience. Now the car is broken down. Why do you ask me to pay for it…” As soon as I heard the words, I knew that the man who rented the car was not a native of Guanzhou, although there was nothing wrong with it. , but the foreign government accent is too obvious.
“There’s no place in front of the village and no store in the back. I can only unload the frame and put it here. You don’t need to pay more, just stay here and guard the car for me!” the driver said angrily, without waiting for the other party to answer, He unloaded the cart for the horse and rode on to leave.
The person who rented the car hurriedly said, “What should I do if you leave?”
The coachman was determined to leave.
Yan Yu’s donkey-pulled sledge passed by at this juncture.
Two people looked over at the same time.
No one expected that there would be fellow travelers in this place.
Yan Yu didn’t look sideways, and the donkey briskly ran past the two of them.
“The little boy in front, please wait a moment, wait a moment.”
Yan Yu grabbed the donkey and jumped off.
As soon as she walked this way, the person who called her was a little confused.
Seeing that the people in the car are not big, I don’t want to find out that they are even smaller.
Yan Yu, who wraps herself into a ball, can change her horizontal orientation, but cannot change her vertical orientation.
Seeing the man dressed as a scholar, she asked politely, “What is this young master calling me for?”
When the man heard this, his eyes lit up, and he saluted first.
Yan Yu hurriedly returned the salute, but thought in her heart that the damned politeness of a scholar is so particular in the world of ice and snow.
“Young master, are you going to Huju?”
Yan Yu cherishes words like gold: “Exactly.”
“I have an unfeeling request, can I trouble the young master to send a message to Uncle Shi, asking him to send someone to pick me up here.”
Yan Yu readily agreed.
It’s not difficult to do, Huju, her father is familiar with it.
But after the scholar revealed who his uncle was, Yan Yu fell silent.
She asked the driver on the side, “Uncle, how much money did you ask him to add?”
The coachman couldn’t figure out why she asked, but he told the truth.
“Thirty renminbi.” He really didn’t ask for much, he said the price because he saw that the axles and wheels were good, and it shouldn’t cost much money to find someone to repair them.
I don’t want this young man to have a good time renting a car, but to ask him to make up for repairs is so sloppy.
Yan Yu persuaded him: “Young master, thirty renminbi is still reasonable, so let’s go with this uncle. I’ll give you a ride. There are no people on this wheel, so you should be able to go to Huju.”
