Chapter 119 Making a Hat

Zhou Shuilian kept food for the two sisters in the kitchen pot, pressing a few pieces of wood in the stove, and the stove was covered with a windshield. There was no air inside, and the wood was slowly burning, keeping the food in the pot warm.

Mu Xiaocao and Mu Xiu finished eating quickly. The two of them finished tidying up. Mu Shui also walked out of the greenhouse. When they saw Mu Xiu, they said excitedly, "Xiu, your method is really useful. The shed is hot now and there is no need to wear a thick coat. It's just right to wear two layers of single clothes inside. This plastic film is really a good thing."

"Wait for a few days, it will be warm inside." Mu Xiu said.

"What if it snows?" Mushui asked.

"You have to prepare some straw or hay early. If you really can't do it, just use a quilt to cover the shed tightly."

"We don't have enough people to cover the quilts, so we'll cover the shed! I'll go out to find straw and hay." Mushui was an action-oriented man. He carried the largest bamboo basket in his home and walked out the door.

"Dad, wait for me, I'll go too. I'll cut some grass for the rabbits." Mu Xiaocao picked up a basket and pulled Li Pandi, and went out with Mu Shui. Now the rabbits are Li Pandi's treasures, while Mu Xiaocao thought that rabbit meat could nourish Li Pandi's body, so she took care of these rabbits without Mu Xiu's explanation.

Seeing that Mushui and Mu Xiaocao had left, Mu Xiu had just entered the shed and sprinkled humus and earthworm soil from the space into the vegetable garden. He then took a bucket of water, poured urea into the water in proportion, and began to sprinkle it into the inside with a spoon made of gourds, and the soil in the vegetable garden became darker.

"Xiu, you Mr. Fang is looking for you." Zhou Shuilian's voice suddenly came from outside.

Mu Xiu quickly walked out of the greenhouse and pulled up the bamboo fence.

This bamboo fence, which is more than one person tall, was made by Mu Xiu by Mu Shu. Originally, the greenhouse was built at the back of the kitchen. From the yard, it blocked most of the view. However, when you walk into the yard, you can still see that Mu Xiu designed a bamboo fence with a list of ragged clothes hanging on the fence. As long as the bamboo fence is pulled, outsiders will not be able to see any difference inside if they don’t walk in front of them.

On weekdays, there are not many people in Mushui's house. Even if someone comes, they go directly to the main hall and will not wander around the kitchen.

"Uncle Fang, come in and sit for a while." When Mu Xiu came out, Zhou Shuilian was still talking to Lao Fangtou at the gate.

"I'll just say a few words to Mu Xiu. If I don't go in, the old woman at home is still waiting for me to go back." Lao Fangtou said with a smile at the door.

"Uncle Fang, what's wrong?" Mu Xiu vaguely felt in his heart that it should be a matter of the world.

"My son came back and told me that it was exactly the same as what you said. I asked him to bring me a set of tools to make jars. I brought them back a few days ago. On weekdays, I like to make jars. If you need them, go find me." Lao Fang looked happy. After all, he was happier than anyone else in his heart to be able to rebuild his old career.

"It's so great, Mr. Fang, I'll calculate how much I need and I'll go to your house again." Mu Xiu calculated the days and it was time to go to the city to see how pickled vegetables were sold.

"Okay, then I'll leave first." Old man Fang seemed much more energetic than before.

After seeing Old Man Fang away, Mu Xiu saw Zhou Shuilian doing something with needles and threads. She curiously stepped forward and looked at it, and suddenly found Zhou Shuilian sewing the hat.

"Mom, are you doing this for Xiaohua?" Mu Xiu saw the size of the hat, which was so small that only Xiaohua could wear it at home.

"Yes, it's getting colder and colder. I have to make a hat for Xiaohua so that I won't be blown by the wind. The fabric you tore back last time and made clothes for your father, there are still some left, so I'll make a hat." Zhou Shuilian said with a smile.

"Why didn't I see my father wearing the clothes?" Mu Xiu thought the clothes were not done well, so Mu Shui hadn't worn them, but she didn't expect that they had already done them.

When Zhou Shuilian heard Mu Xiu's words, she pursed her lips and said, "Your father is reluctant to wear them, and she said she would wait for the New Year to wear them."

"Mom, look at who has cotton in the village and buy some to come back. This year, our family will wear new clothes."

"Oh, I'm worried when it comes to this. Our family of six makes new cotton coats. It costs at least 5 kilograms of cotton and cloth. How much does it cost? Your sister is fat and wears two old clothes from your father every day. My brother's clothes are also used to change them to smaller ones. When it gets colder, there is no clothes to wear. The family's money is just enough to buy food for the winter." Zhou Shuilian couldn't help but sigh when she said this.

Mu Xiu thought about it, and indeed, Zhou Shuilian didn't have much money on her hands. She was so depressed. She had all kinds of supplies in the space, but she didn't have a reasonable reason to take it out. She was so frustrated that she was frozen and hungry while guarding the treasure house.

"Mom, the pickles at home are almost ready. I will sell them in the next few days. Then you will have money again. Don't worry about the money when you see there is cotton. Buy it first and then talk about how many pieces you can make, otherwise it will be a big deal if you are freezing. I will make more pickles and the money will come back." Mu Xiu said again.

"It's all this, show, thanks to you," Zhou Shuilian said with emotion.

"Mom, the whole family doesn't speak two words."

"Okay, the hat is ready, let's wear it for Xiaohua." Zhou Shuilian said without stopping her work. The hat was originally simple, but it was ready in one go.

After Zhou Shuilian put the hat on Xiaohua, he nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Mu Xiu, "Xiu, do you look good?"

After watching Xiaohua wearing a small hat made of dark blue fabric, Mu Xiu endured it and didn't say the word "ugly". Oh, let's not talk about the berets that Qu Chunyu had, she also had a hat with rabbit fur in her space. A circle of rabbit furs wrapped around the hat, which was both beautiful and warm.

Mu Xiu thought of the rabbit fur on the backyard rabbit, but then he thought again that the rabbit was raised by her. It would be a pity to kill the rabbit just to get some fur. By the way! Mu Xiu's eyes lit up, and she thought of Chen Xuhui. Chen Xuhui often hunted, so maybe he had fur there!

Mu Xiu stood up and planned to find Chen Xuhui. She suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Chen Xuhui for a few days. The last time she saw him was when Mu Zhijun came to cause trouble that day, she never met him again. She didn't have time to thank him at that time.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiu walked to the kitchen door, scooped water and washed his hands, put two steamed buns in a bowl from the kitchen, and said to Zhou Shuilian, "Mom, Chen Xuhui called the village party secretary to help our house two days ago. I will take two steamed buns to his house and thank him for going there."
