Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 206 A lot of military quilts

Now I am renting this house, which is diagonally opposite to Chen Xiaoduan's house, only one street away.

Luo Xuan and Chen Xiaoduan went out without even bothering to lock the door, so they went to her house one after the other to get the bedding.

On the way, Luo Xuan said to Chen Xiaoduan, "I do have money on me, but I'm afraid it will be a while, I'm afraid I won't give you a ticket."

Chen Xiaoduan smiled, "That's okay, you can just pay me with turtles in the future."

The relationship between myself and Chen Xiaoduan has always been very clear financially.

Especially this Chen Xiaoduan, no matter how poor she is, even if she pays the debt with the treasures of the family, she is not willing to owe Luo Xuan a little debt.

Therefore, Luo Xuan also had to tell her what to say beforehand, so as not to get entangled in the accounts.

As the so-called friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, Luo Xuan does not want to have any debt disputes with Chen Xiaoduan.

The distance was very short, and the two had just said a few words before they walked to the door of Chen Xiaoduan's house.

"Xiao Duan, this is it, so it's Luo Xuan?"

Chen Xiaoduan's mother opened the door and saw a person behind her daughter.

After seeing clearly that the person who came was Luo Xuan, Mother Chen said happily, "Hurry up and get in the house, the street outside is very dusty, don't look like a mud monkey."

Wait until Luo Xuan and Chen Xiaoduan entered the room.

However, Mother Chen's face now seems to be much better than before.

Since the last time he came to Chen Xiaoduan's house and helped slaughter an eel, Luo Xuan never came to her house again.

I didn't think so,
It was the second time he came to the door, but Mother Chen's attitude towards him was much more enthusiastic than the last time.

"Luo Xuan, do you want tea or poached eggs?"

Mother Chen walked in and said to Luo Xuan, "The last time you came to my house as a guest, I think you don't seem to like poached eggs. Are you being polite and afraid to eat them?"

Luo Xuan smiled, "Auntie, you don't need to be busy, I really don't like poached eggs, I just come here to get something and leave. You can rest and leave me alone."

Chen Xiaoduan said with a coquettish smile, "Mom, just leave it alone, they just come to get something and leave. If you meddle too much, Luo Xuan won't be ashamed."

Chen's mother scolded with a smile, "Xiaoduan, what are you talking about? When you enter this door, everyone who comes is a guest, how can you ignore her and ignore her? Luo Xuan, don't be afraid of her, my Xiaoduan is not yours. Class teacher, what are you doing so restrained?"

In the past, Mother Chen had heard from Chen Xiaoduan that Luo Xuan was in the fifth grade.

Chen's mother knew that her daughter was now in the sixth grade.

That's why she said that.

But this time, when Luo Xuan came to Chen Xiaoduan's house, the change in Chen's mother's attitude towards her was all due to the turtles that Luo Xuan asked Qiu Xiaogang to send over.

The soft-shelled turtles in the space are blessed with spring water, plus there is an improvement of the mysterious space.

It seems that this soft-shelled turtle blood is much more effective in treating Chen's mother's condition than the one Chen Xiaoduan bought outside.

Now the blood in Mother Chen's body has improved a lot compared to before.

As a result, her spirit has improved and her mood has become much happier.

The three chatted for a while, and then Chen Xiaoduan brought Luo Xuan to a wall.

Many old-style houses in Bashu use wood as pillars and bamboo partitions as partition walls.

On top of the bamboo slices, use yellow mud to add pig bristles and crushed jute fibers to paste the wall.

Finish with a layer of lime.

In this way, a partition wall is completed.

In Chen Xiaoduan's house, except for the partition wall near the alley and the wall facing the street, which are built with green bricks, the rest of the partition wall with the neighbor's house is also made of this kind of wooden pillars and bamboo chips.

Luo Xuan followed behind Chen Xiaoduan, and seeing that she was going straight to this wall without leaving the door, he guessed that there might be a "wall" in Chen Xiaoduan's house.

but,

In the past, Bashu Province was in chaos and banditry for hundreds of years.

Therefore, many ordinary families in Bashu Province have cellars or sweet potato cellars for hiding.

Or many people simply build a simple "secret room" at home for emergency hiding when bandits come to rob or kidnap people.

It is not uncommon for Chen Xiaoduan to have a wall in his home in Bashu Province in the old society.

Even in order to avoid "grabbing strong men", people will make such a wall at home.

When Chen Xiaoduan came to that wall and stood still, he turned to Luo Xuan and smiled slightly, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry to help?"

said,

Chen Xiaoduan stretched out his hand, grabbed a wooden handle on the wall, and then pushed aside hard.

It may be because the door with the inverted wall is very old, and there is no oil in the groove, so it is really not easy to push the bamboo and mud walls that are not heavy at this time.

Seeing this, Luo Xuan hurried forward to help.

After finally pushing away the extremely secret interlining wall, Luo Xuan couldn't help but gasp: "Is this what you said 'not much left'?"

Chen Xiaoduan chuckled, "Too much or not much is relative. Take it, just take as much as you need."

Luo Xuan took a closer look, and found that this room could be regarded as an item in the "secret room".

I saw a huge square package tied up with oilcloth inside.

Mother Chen brought scissors, and Luo Xuan helped to cut the rope tied on the package.

Open the outer tarpaulin inside, and there is another layer of burlap as a lining.

Luo Xuan took a closer look at the English letters printed on the tarpaulin.

Along with the sackcloth inside, there are also some English words "Pacific Combat Command. 100% long-staple cotton dedicated to the Chinese theater."

Wait for these words.

However, because the linen is not stretched very straight, some content is covered by the folds on the linen, making it difficult to see comprehensively.

Luo Xuan guessed literally: These quilts and mattresses should be military supplies left over from World War II.

Chen Xiaoduan's father used to be a senior officer in the Guo Army, so he might have brought some supplies back by hand.

It is used to help fellow villagers, or to family members, and to be used as a gift for others.

——If you want to take a pack of quilts and resell them, Luo Xuan guesses that Chen Xiaoduan's father would not bother to do such a thing.

Even if people want to resell it, they will sell it with the skin of a car or how many cars.

How could it be possible to look up to this pack of two packs of quilts?
When Luo Xuan opened the package completely, the tightly bound bedding inside burst open!
"This……"

Looking at the military quilts, mattresses, and even the felt blankets that the soldiers spread on the ground to isolate moisture, the walls are full and piled up on the ground.

Luo Xuan and Chen Xiaoduan were stunned for a moment: Isn't this too much?

Just like the vacuum-packed quilts in the home textile business in later generations.

The bundle of quilts and felt blankets that Luo Xuan had cut open just now didn't look that big either.

But after cutting the binding ropes, dozens of sets of military quilts exploded, and in the blink of an eye, a small hill was piled up in front of Luo Xuan and Chen Xiaoduan's eyes!

The scene in front of me is really surprising!
Even Chen Xiaoduan, who has always been calm, was stunned on the spot, "I, my family used to only have two packages of this kind of stuff. I don't know if my father sent someone to fix the package last time I opened it. Why? Will it become like this?"

"Yes."

Mother Chen, who was standing a few steps behind Luo Xuan, also opened her mouth to explain, "These things were in the old society, and Xiaoduan's father sent someone to bring them back once.

At that time, our mother and daughter were still living in the provincial capital, so how could we handle these things?

When we moved back to Hongxing Township, our mother and daughter brought back almost a truckload of things.

We don't need the things in this wall, so we just send some to the east and some to the west.

Not long after that, a lot of the package that was opened has been sent out.

So we really don't know that there are so many sets in a pack of quilts."

ah~
During this period, everyone is suffering, and there is a serious shortage of supplies.

It is not easy to buy such a set of quilts in other people's homes. Even in most homes, the bedding is made of grain and grass.

But this Chen Xiaoduan's family is still worried about having too many bedding!
It's just that Chen Xiaoduan's mother and daughter, who were used to living a life of wealth and honor and kept their hands aloof, really don't really understand the hardships of life of those real poor people.

When their family was in decline and they were unable to make ends meet, they missed the opportunity to take these things and go out to cash them out.
——Chen Xiaoduan, who is full of bookishness, can't go to the frog market with a quilt in his arms, and stand there waiting for others to buy it, right?
If you contact a dealer to buy at home, don't say that Chen Xiaoduan has no such intentions, I'm afraid even Chen's mother will not agree to it if she is beaten to death.

An orphan and widow who used to be aloof and didn't want to be involved in business affairs at all, let them stand at home with a peddler who smelled of sour sweat to negotiate the price?

Mother Chen would rather starve to death than do that kind of thing.

The aloofness of the old-style intellectuals and the pride of being born in a famous family have destined Chen Xiaoduan and her mother to have some deep-rooted concepts, which will be very different from a poor boy like Luo Xuan.

Looking at the huge pile of quilts, Luo Xuan said, "I just need one, maximum two sets of quilts. Then the rest."

At this time, Chen Xiaoduan also felt worried.

She said coquettishly: "Take them all away! This kind of bedding, other people will know that it is suitable for single men just by looking at the color and specification. Why do I put so many bedding in my house?"

Seeing Luo Xuan pondering, Mother Chen also opened her mouth and said: "What is something, it is only called a thing when it is used, if it is piled up here, it is a pile of useless waste.

Luo Xuan, as you know, there are only two mothers and daughters in my family.Those relatives who used to come to fetch things are now respectful and far away from our family, and they are extremely alienated.

Take all these quilts and treat them as a favor for us.These things are left in my house, we look at them, and feel panicked.”

Luo Xuan looked at the mountain of bedding, but he could understand Chen's mother's mood.

heard,

Luo Xuan nodded, "Okay then, anyway, I have a lot of rooms over there, so I'll move these things there first and store them for you.

If you meet in the future when you need it, just go there at any time. "

Chen Xiaoduan chuckled lightly, "How could my family use these? You can sell them or give them away, you can deal with them."

Luo Xuan nodded, "That's fine! If I have time, I'll go to the frog market and sell some of it. I'll give you back the money I get. Just nine cents."

"I do not want!"

As soon as Chen Xiaoduan said the words, he realized that Luo Xuan would never take the money all by himself.

So she quickly changed her mind and said, "It takes a lot of energy to sell these things. Let's not talk about it, isn't it just a little money? It's so boring to tangle and tangle. It's decided."

"Row."

Chen Xiaoduan is not a petty person, so Luo Xuan readily agreed, "However, it's broad daylight now, it's okay to move a set and two sets to my place.

If we move too much, I'm afraid that the aunt of the street office will have to come and ask questions again.

Well, I'll take one set first, and come to move the rest at night. "

"Only you can come alone."

Chen's mother said with a serious face, "If you can't finish the move in one day, then divide it into two days. In short, you must not bring others to help."

Luo Xuan nodded, agreeing.
