Chapter 366 Remaking the Bed
"So, I am looking forward to snow, but I don't want it to snow at the same time. If it snows, it will be convenient for us to use water."
"But it's snowing, so we have to hurry even if we want to."
"Who says it's not true? My family only has one donkey cart, and the elderly and children in the family can ride on it. But my wife and I, as well as the second son and his wife, have to push the cart."
"The official road is covered with snow and is slippery. With people like this walking on it, the official road becomes even harder to walk on."
"If the official road is frozen, the cloth shoes we wear will be soaked in less than half a day. Our feet will definitely be frozen and painful."
"However, fortunately, the village chief forced every household to have a donkey cart."
"At that time, if the village chief hadn't specifically emphasized it, I really wouldn't have been willing to spend money to buy a donkey cart. With that money, I could have bought some food and stored it away."
"Yes, I had the same idea as you at that time. But now I really want to thank the village chief."
"We adults can endure more hardships, but the elderly and children at home don't have to suffer like us."
"It snowed, and they hid in the carriage, covered with blankets, chatting and sleeping. This was much happier than sleeping in the carriage by myself."
"Haha, so not everyone can be the village chief."
"The village chief is still the village chief. How foresighted he is."
These words happened to be heard by the village chief who was strolling over, and his face immediately broke into a smile.
"You guys have figured it out now and know that I am doing this for your own good. But when I asked you to buy a car, you all turned your backs on me."
"Village chief, please be magnanimous and don't worry about it. We now know we are wrong."
"Then you should get angry with me less often in the future. If you make me so angry that I die, you will never find another village chief as good-tempered as me."
"The village chief is right. From now on, we will listen to whatever you say and will not raise any objections."
The village chief smiled and said, "You guys are better this way."
After the village chief finished speaking, he walked to the back of the team.
Because of the fog, the refugee team in front on the official road was moving very slowly, and the team from Yunjia Village also slowed down.
"Our village chief does have a good temper. If it were me, I would have quit long ago."
"Fortunately, you are not our village chief either."
After saying this, there was laughter all around.
At the end of the team, the Yun family members were also chatting.
"Boss, are you cold? Do you want to put on some thicker clothes?" Zhang asked as she lifted the car curtain.
"Wife, I'm dressed enough. No need to add more clothes." Yun the butcher said, turning around.
"Boss, I just found all the furs that I exchanged with the Wu family."
"I thought that during the lunch break, I would cover the entire interior of the mule and donkey carts with furs."
"Oh, right, the inside of the carriage should be covered with coarse cloth. This way, it will be difficult for the wind to get through. And the curtains should also be replaced with thick ones."
"I'd better go find the old coarse cloth first." After saying this, Zhang returned to the carriage and began to rummage through the basket.
Fortunately, the basket containing the old coarse cloth was not pressed at the bottom. After Zhang moved the two baskets, she saw the basket containing the old coarse cloth.
The basket containing the furs was placed next to the basket containing the old coarse cloth. Zhang moved them out together.
Two baskets of furs and one basket of old coarse cloth, put together, it is still very spectacular.
Zhang poked her head out and said, "Boss, I want to add a layer of fur between two layers of old coarse cloth to make a car curtain. Do you think our fur is enough?"
Butcher Yun took a look inside the carriage and saw the basket that Zhang had found.
However, he shook his head and said, "Wife, why don't you take the furs to cover the carriage at noon, and if there are any left, you can make curtains for the carriage."
Zhang nodded in agreement, "Boss, what you said makes sense."
Then she took out two pieces of fur and gestured at the bottom of the carriage.
The two pieces of fur were too small to form a bed. Besides, there were three people sleeping in Yun Yiyi's car, so more fur was needed.
Finally, after repeated calculations, she came up with six to eight pieces of fur that could be used to make beds for the children.
The compartment of a donkey cart is smaller than that of a mule cart. I guess six furs would be enough.
The mule cart had a large compartment and could hold eight fur skins.
Fortunately, the furs provided by the Wu family were all of similar size and processed very cleanly.
Zhang planned to lay a layer of cool mat in the carriage first, then lay fur on it, and then lay a blanket on top of the fur.
Finally, put a layer of old coarse cloth on the quilt. In this way, it should be much warmer when you sleep at night.
Zhang thought it over, and moved a basket of furs, covered it with a roll of old coarse cloth, and headed to Yun Yiyi's mule cart.
"Zi Rui, Yi Yi, go find your dad. I'll come over and make your beds. It's going to be very cold tonight regardless of whether it snows or not."
"Mom, let Brother Zirui go. I'm here to help you."
"no problem."
Xie Zirui got off the car and did not go to Yun the butcher. Instead, he went to the donkey cart in front.
"Zi Rui, why are you here?"
"Third brother, Auntie brought a basket of cloth and said she wanted to help us make the bed. Otherwise it would be too cold at night."
"Yeah, the temperature today is too low. Maybe it will snow tonight."
"Fortunately, we can sleep in the car, otherwise it would be so cold sleeping on the ground."
The three boys soon started chatting.
"Mom, why did you make the bed so big?"
"This bed is too small for the three of you. Besides, don't underestimate this layer of fur. It's windproof and very warm to sleep on."
"Mom, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang was spreading the furs while smiling, "It's not hard for mother. Mother is very happy to see you children are so obedient."
With the help of Yun Yiyi, Zhang made a bed in the carriage except for the space for storing things.
Zhang put the previous mattress on the fur. The mattress was small, so she put two mattresses on top.
Finally, put the old coarse cloth sheet on it, and put the pillow and quilt on it, and you're done.
Yun Yiyi lay down on the bed, "Mom, it's so soft and warm."
Zhang patted the bed and said, "It's good to be warm. It will get colder every day. If you are not prepared, it will be troublesome if you catch a cold."
"Yiyi, come and help mother wrap the old coarse cloth around the carriage."
"Here we come, mother."
In a short while, Zhang had surrounded the entire carriage with old coarse cloth.
She didn't wrap the top of the carriage with a piece of coarse cloth because there were bundles of hay on the top of the carriage. The hay directly blocked the wind and prevented it from blowing in from the top of the carriage.
