Chapter 36 Penniless

   "Wait a minute." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she took out the purse, looked at the only two copper plates left in her hand after counting, and sweated secretly for herself.

   Fortunately, I listened to Gu Chengrui's words before and didn't buy anything else, otherwise it would be a big shame today.

   In the end, he simply gave the extra two cents to the little guy and asked him to take two medium-sized needles for quilts.

   She was done on her side, and Huang's side was almost done. In the end, the mother and daughter helped her carry a piece of cloth out, while she carried cotton and followed.

   After putting the things in the car, Gu Chengrui looked at Huang's mother and daughter and said, "Aunt Huang, are we going back together, or...?"

   "Let's go first, we have to do some shopping." Huang Shi waved his hands again and again.

   They were ordered to buy meat today, so it was really inconvenient to be with them.

   "Okay, then we'll go back first." Gu Chengrui didn't think too much, and after finishing speaking, he and Zhou Ying drove the ox cart back together.

   After returning home, Zhou Ying put the cloth and cotton into the house, and then moved the rest to the kitchen with Gu Chengrui.

   Then she brushed out the three water tanks, but only the largest one was used to hold water, and the remaining two small tanks she planned to hold food, otherwise it would be easy to attract mice.

After    was done, Zhou Ying turned her head and said, "By the way, Brother Rui, I have to tell you, we are now penniless again."

   "I thought of it, so we have to go to the mountain two more times, at least to ensure that we can get food and clothing this winter.

  You make a quilt, I have to return the ox cart. After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he drove the ox cart out the door.

   On the other hand, Zhou Ying went back to the main room, looking at the fabric and scattered cotton on the kang and worried, it seemed that she could only get the ready-made back cover from the space.

   After making a decision, I took out scissors and a ruler from the space, and began to cut the quilt cover and mattress cover.

   As soon as he started, he heard Wang shouting from the outside: "Cheng Rui's family, are you at home?"

   "Yes, auntie come in directly." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she looked at the empty kang, and hurriedly took out the old quilt and threw it on the head of the kang.

It happened that Mr. Wang also came in with a bunch of woven things, including a broom, a curtain, a woven pot lid, a wooden steamer, a rattan dustpan, a basket, and a few baskets and said: " This is something that your uncle made by himself, although it looks ordinary, it is quite durable, you guys use it first."

   "Thank you so much, uncle, these things are really what we need most right now." Zhou Ying hurriedly took them and put them aside.

   "Why don't you say that breaking the house is worth a lot of money, there are really a lot of things that need to be added to this moving house. If you need anything, feel free to speak up."

   "Auntie is the best, I won't be polite to you if you really need help."

   "That's right, you can't write two Gu characters in one stroke." Wang said after seeing a lot of things on the kang: "Oh, are you planning to make a new quilt?"

   "Yeah, otherwise it's too cold to cover." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she directly let her on the kang.

  Wang shook his head and said, "I won't sit down. The house is collecting cabbage. Cheng Rui said that you want to live for the winter, but I don't know how much you plan to ask for."

   "How much did your aunt grow?"

   "Don't worry, you have planted about 20 acres of land, which must be enough for your family."

   "Then it will cost 300 catties. I'll go back and collect some radishes, dried vegetables, etc., and eat them together." Zhou Ying said embarrassingly, "I'm afraid that the money will have a grace period of a few days."
