Chapter 23 Su Ming got sick
The noodle soup with rabbit meat and wild vegetables was no longer the soup that was so thin that you could touch your face. It really made everyone full. Not to mention the children, even the adults were happy. It’s like Chinese New Year.
Before Shen Yi left, Su Chunlin stuffed him with half a basket of eggs, which shocked Su Tai.
"Mom, where did dad get the eggs?"
Han said suddenly, "It's not because Shen Yi gave so much more food. Your father was always thinking about it. He wouldn't take the money even if he knew it, so he secretly found someone to exchange for eggs and saved it for a while."
People don't have enough to eat these days, and very few people can raise chickens. Eggs are very expensive. Some of these half-baskets of eggs were bought with copper coins, and some were exchanged for grain. Some of them were worth five hundred coins.
After seeing Shen Yi off, Su Chunlin and Su Zhan closed the fence door tightly together, bolted the wooden door of the main room, and officially started the cat winter.
From now on, the family members will lie in bed when they have nothing to do, huddle under the quilt and reduce their activities. If they don’t move, they will not be hungry. They can eat less and save food.
This is just convenient for Su Tai to work in time and space.
Nowadays, Earth Spacetime only has one acre of land, and the upgrading requirement requires a thousand kilograms of crops to be turned in. Currently, Earth Spacetime has deducted 250 kilograms of wheat, which is still 750 kilograms short. There is no variety requirement for this crop, so she is now One-third of the land should be allocated for vegetable cultivation.
The maturity cycle of vegetables is shorter than that of wheat, which can help her quickly upgrade and accumulate virtual coins. The cleared wheat seedlings were not wasted and were sold directly to the automatic trading cabinet, earning 30 virtual coins.
After the vegetables were planted, Su Tai felt a lot more relaxed and began to think about how to survive this long cold winter.
Next door, Su Chunlin and his wife were planning their food arrangements.
"The father of the child, Shen Yi originally gave our family 40 kilograms of grain, and after adding in the previous savings, there are still fifty-six kilograms left. As a family, we can tighten our belts and save some money, and we can still survive until the spring, but you After exchanging ten kilograms for eggs, plus the food eaten at home during this period, there are only forty-three kilograms left. I'm afraid I won't last until March!" Mrs. Han sighed, frowning.
Su Chunlin also frowned, "We still have some money on hand. If it doesn't work, I will go to Shen Yi to buy some food."
Anyway, I have already lost face once, and I am not afraid of doing it again.
These words made Han's brows relax a little, but he didn't dare to really relax, so he asked instead: "Will eldest brother and his family come back during the Chinese New Year?"
If Su Chunsen and his family were to return to the village to celebrate the New Year, they would have to prepare more food.
Su Chunlin shook his head decisively, with a serious look on his face, "You ask this every year, and I answer it every year. When did you see my eldest brother and his family come back? Besides, they don't have a place to stay when they come back!"
Although half of the house he lives in now was built with Su Chunsen's help, there is really no extra house at home. Brothers Su Zhan and Su Ming are still crowded in the same house.
Mrs. Han sighed feebly, "If we have extra money, we will have to build two more houses. Apart from anything else, A Zhan is getting older. If he wants to marry a wife in the future, he will have to prepare a new house for him. What's going on with other people's homes?" I don't care, but our family must leave a room for Xiao Tai, otherwise she will not have a place to rest when she returns to her parents' home.
You also need to prepare one or two guest rooms. If you really have an extra room, you can go to see your eldest brother and ask them to come back for the New Year, right? "
Su Chunlin was deeply moved by these words.
The couple talked and rolled into the bed tent.
Su Tai originally listened with her ears perked up, but then the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Her face was as red as a ripe shrimp, and she secretly cursed in her heart. No wonder there were so many pregnant women in spring in ancient times. In the winter, couples were kept together. It seemed that except for this There is nothing else to do for fun.
I'm afraid this situation will happen again. In order to prevent herself from listening to the wall, she has to help this family make money as soon as possible.
When she has money, her parents' wishes will come true, and she can have a clean little house of her own.
After a month, the vegetable seeds planted by Su Tai sprouted and grew up, and she realized that they were cabbages.
The maturity cycle of cabbage is related to the sowing season, variety and various growing conditions. The planting conditions in both soil and space are optimal. It has only been thirty days, and the cabbage is almost ready. It seems that Shen Yi gave her an early-maturing variety, and it is estimated that it will be harvested in half a month.
Su Tai was happy and silently counted the harvest time.
Before she could be happy for a few days, the Su family's door creaked loudly, alarming Maodong's family.
Su Chunlin opened the door first and went out. Seeing that the person who came was Su Changxi, he quickly invited people into the room, "Why are you out in the cold?"
Su Changxi heard the worry in Su Chunlin's words, and shook his head solemnly, "It's no good if we don't come out. There was a cold storm in our village. Three old people died five days ago. As a result, from that day on, more people died every day, and today another Seven people died, and I couldn't sit still anymore. I went from house to house and asked, is anyone in your family sick? "
Su Chunlin was shocked and shook his head repeatedly, "Our family doesn't have it. Is it serious for other families?"
"Serious! How come it's not serious! Six babies are gone, and one of them is not yet one month old! How pitiful, first there was a severe drought, and now there is wind and cold. Why is it so difficult to live!" Su Changxi lamented and patted her legs while wiping away tears.
Seeing that Su Chunlin's house was fine, he quickly wiped his tears and went to the next house.
Mrs. Han was frightened. As soon as Su Changxi left, she immediately checked the children one by one.
It was fine at first, but at night, Su Zhan suddenly rushed into Su Chunlin's house in a panic and shouted, "Dad, mother, my little brother has a fever."
Su Chunlin was so frightened that she rolled over from the bed to the ground. Han burst into tears before he even got off the ground.
The noise was so loud that Su Tai was also woken up.
When she got dressed and walked out of the house, candles were already lit in the house. Su Chunlin and Han were the only ones in Su Ming's house, and the couple said nothing to let Su Zhan and Su Tai in.
The two could only stand outside the door and look anxiously.
"Mom and Dad, is my little brother's condition serious?" Su Tai asked worriedly.
Han looked like the sky was about to fall and couldn't answer the question at all.
Su Chunlin's voice was muffled, "I have a fever."
"Is your forehead very hot? Did the younger brother say he is afraid of the cold, or how is his mental state?" Su Tai continued to ask.
Following Su Tai's words, Su Chunlin checked Su Ming and said, "He is not in good spirits. He is very tired and cold."
That is, the temperature is still rising. In ancient times when medical conditions were backward, wind and cold could really kill people.
Thinking of this, Su Tai hurriedly said: "Dad, we can't sit still and wait for death. We have to go find a doctor."
"Yes! Find a doctor, find a doctor quickly!" Han seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, with an anxious look on his face.
Su Chunlin comforted her repeatedly, "Okay, okay, let's go find the doctor. I'll go find the doctor when it gets up."
"Dad, I'll go with you, one more person will help you a lot." Su Tai said through gritted teeth.
Han originally wanted to object, but then she thought about it. Her daughter was now back to normal and was calmer than the two of them when things happened. It might not be a bad thing to let her go with her, so she didn't stop her.
