Chapter 46 What you thought was a coincidence

Lanzhi nodded vigorously, "I can, I'm the best at sewing clothes."

  "Then you go, I'll do it here." Mrs. Chen waved her hand.

  Lanzhi arrived at the house, discussed with Gu Fei and Li Chunhua, took a pair of scissors and started cutting the leather. It had to be neatly cut before it could be sewn.

  Mrs. Chen came over after washing the dishes, and the women worked together in full swing. While sewing the leather,   Mrs.

  Chen asked Gu Fei, "Xiao Fei, tell your father, can't we leave in the spring? It's getting cold now. If we travel in winter, we might freeze to death."

Fei shook his head, "Mom, we can't wait any longer."

  "When we go to the south, we have to pass through several counties and thousands of miles, and it takes two or three months to get there."

  "Spring is prone to plague, and this winter We don't know how many people will starve to death. If we are late, it will be all over if we catch the plague on the way."

  "We would rather get cold and leave early."

  Mrs. Chen was worried when Gu Qing came in, "Sister. "What did you want to buy?"

  Gu Fei nodded, "I want to buy ginger, charcoal, hand stove, foot stove, chilblain ointment, various commonly used medicinal materials, I'm afraid I need to buy more fodder for the mules, and water. It's best to buy some leather bags and some alum. I'm afraid it's hard to find clean water along the way.

  "You can buy whatever else you need along the way."

  Gu Qing said. He asked, "Don't buy food?"

  "The price of food will definitely go up."

  Gu Fei glanced at the people in the room, and her heart skipped a beat, "I still have food here, enough for our family to eat all the way to the south."

  This family I'm afraid everyone is well aware of her magical power, so she won't hide it anymore. I'm afraid she won't be able to hide it all the way to the south.

  She took out a hundred taels of silver and said, "I will pay my uncle's money back later, and then go to the village chief to pay back the money and get back the mortgaged land deed."

  "You and dad can use the remaining silver. "

  Gu Qing took the money and was about to leave when Mrs. Chen suddenly stopped him, "I'm afraid I still have to buy some coarse grains. If there isn't some grain in the car, it won't look like it."

  Gu Fei looked at her mother, then looked at her again. Gu Qing nodded. Chen was thoughtful and wanted to cover up others' ears.

  The next day, everyone in the family who should report the news went to report the news, and those who should buy things went to buy things.

  The two Gu brothers and Gu Zhang went into the city again.

  The few remaining women in the family are mixing noodles, steaming buns, and making cakes at home.

  It is more convenient to carry steamed buns and pancakes than flour on this road.

  Mrs. Chen planned to steam as much as she could in the past few days. She quietly asked Gu Fei and said that she had a place to put it, and it would still be hot when she put it in and took it out.

  The only thing Chen was dissatisfied with was that there were only fine grains and no coarse grains. It was so painful to eat.

  In the evening, the father and son who went out came back.

  Gu Sanlang still stayed in the city.

  Gu Zhang looked very excited.

  The family sat down at the table and prepared to eat. Gu Zhang smiled and said to Gu Fei: "Dad bought a map today."

  Gu Fei's eyes lit up, and Gu Zhang said again: "That's not all. When I went to the carriage shop, I happened to meet an old man named Ma. He heard that I was going to the south and said he was willing to be my guide. "

  "He had been to the south many times when he was young, and he is familiar with the roads."

  "Now he is older. , can't walk as a escort, so he drives cars in the car dealership, takes care of animals, etc. He is a good hand."

  Gu Fei nodded and smiled, "That's great, it's just like giving him a pillow when he's sleepy."
