While speaking, Xiao Dazong had already reached out to take the bowl from Xu Hui.

As he added water to the basin, he could not help but mutter to Xu Hui, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's fine if you want to embroider things slowly, but do you have to do it quickly?" What if I'm exhausted? I heard that embroidery takes the most effort, so you should be more careful. Don't break your eyes! "

Xu Hui felt warm from being whispered and smiled, "Got it. I'll go and have a rest after embroidering for a while in the future."

"Come, let's wash and see if the water is hot enough." He knew that Xu Hui had a habit of washing her face in the evening. She used hot water the first time and cold water the second time, saying that it was something that was good for the skin, but he did not understand what his wife was willing to do, as long as she was not tired.

Xu Hui probed the water's temperature, which was slightly higher than its temperature. Coincidentally, she smiled at Xiao Dazong, picked up a handful of water and began to wash his face, seriously washing his face. Xiao Dazong hurriedly poured hot water to the side and scooped up some fresh water. After Xu Hui washed herself with cold water, Xiao Dazong had already passed him a clean cloth. Xu Hui wiped his face and raised her head to smile at Xiao Dazong.

Xiao Da Yong felt that his wife's face was as white and tender as an egg that had just been peeled. She was smiling so that he could not see her. Xu Hui looked at him in a daze and then threw a cloth at him with a smile.

"No, you have to wash even if I do. Look at your face. It took me so much effort to cover it up, but it seems like you've gone back to basking in the sun these past few days!"

"Hehe, I've brought people to renovate the house these few days. I'm probably going to bask in the sunlight. I'm a man, it's fine if I'm black. My wife, you don't have to bask in the sun."

"If it gets any darker and the two of us stand together and they look like a couple with one black and the other white, do you think they won't look like a couple? Otherwise, I'll also get suntanned and become a little darker, right?"

Xiao Dayong shook his head like a rattle drum. His cute, dead wife's white skin was too much for him to allow his to tan. He hurriedly said, "I'll also wash. Washing more might cause my skin to turn white."

Xu Hui covered her mouth and laughed. Xiao Da Yong used the water that Xu Hui had used to wash his face and looked at Xu Hui who picked up a small bowl to wipe his face. He asked Xu Hui curiously, "What's that?"

Xu Hui passed it over for Xiao Dazong to smell. Xiao Dazong frowned and asked, "sesame oil? Isn't this used for cooking? Wife, why are you smearing it on your face? "

"It's cold and dry, and you'll get chapped if you don't wipe your face. When are we going to get a man? "I didn't prepare anything for the new year, and I still wanted to buy a box of paste, although the sesame oil worked, it was too much to use, and it hurt too much if you don't wipe your face. If I let Niu Niu and the others wipe it, they wouldn't like it, and if there was a paste, they would definitely be willing to rub it, and if you didn't see how dry Niu's face was, I wouldn't even dare to let her blow the wind, I'm afraid it would blow."

Xiao Dazong looked at Xu Hui's face, which was covered in sesame oil. It was so bright that it looked like it had just been wiped clean. He felt extremely muddled upon looking at it.

Thinking about what Lin Qianhu had said, Xiao Da Yong smiled and said to Xu Hui, "Lin Qianhu said that the snow on the road is real, so he is planning to send a sledge team to Ming Zhou Province to bring back the New Year goods that command prepared. I will tell Senior Qian Hu that we will follow him, and if there is anything you need, I will bring it back to you!" He could read a lot of words now, and he would definitely be able to understand the list written by his wife.

"Sled? A dog pulling a sledge? "

"Wifey, you, hehehehe, you're not playing with children, what's the point of a dog pulling a sledge? Besides, we don't have any dogs here.

"Then what's the use?"

"Horse, a sleigh with two horses and one sleigh can be pulled up to a few hundred or even a thousand pounds!" Xiao Da Yong had always felt that Xu Hui knew more than he did. This was the first time he had seen her in such a muddled state, so she could not help but feel cute. She could not help but hug her wife and said, "When the renovations are finished, I'll take you to the sleigh."

"Really? Can we go out? "Don't you forget to bring us to sit."

"Don't worry, I won't forget. Wife, come sit here. Let me massage your shoulders, is it sore on your shoulders?"

Xu Hui nodded and followed Xiao Da Yong's strength as he sat down on the fire stool.

Xiao Dayong squatted behind Xu Hui, carefully massaging Xu Hui's back and said softly, "Lin Qianhu also said that after the house is fixed, we will have a courtyard when spring starts. When that time comes, we will not have to live together with Gou Sheng anymore, let Niu Niu take her own room … we will have a room …"

The hand that was massaging Xu Hui's shoulder could not help but descend. Xu Hui's face turned red as she moved her elbow backwards, pushing away Xiao Dazong. She stood up and shot a glance at Xiao Dazong, "I'm not listening to you anymore. I'm going back to sleep."

"Wifey, wait …" How could Xiao Dayong let his daughter-in-law go at that moment? He could not help but reach out to grab Xu Hui's arm. Xu Hui quickly retracted her arm and walked to the door of the kitchen. He turned around and smiled at Xiao Dayong, "What are you waiting for?" "Do you want me to go to the kang and wait for you?"

Xiao Dazong looked at Xu Hui's coquettish smile, her eyes burning with anger. She saw Xu Hui turn her head and walk out of the door curtain in a relaxed manner. Rubbing his little brother, Xiao Dayong sighed and said to himself, "Just bear with it. Sooner or later, it will be my own meat. When the time comes, I'll eat whatever I want!"

With five taels of silver in his pocket, and everyone's strong hopes of celebrating the new year, Xiao Dazong set off for Mingzhou City with the sledge team from the Qian Hu Inn two days later.

After Xiao Da Yong left, Xu Hui felt that something was amiss. She remembered that Xiao Da Yong had said he was going to Ming Zhou Province to get the New Year gifts prepared by the command. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, but after some thought, he didn't seem to have heard of anyone returning the items to their subordinates for the New Year. If it was something given by the imperial government, they wouldn't need to be pulled.

Xu Hui could not help but ask Gou Sheng, who blinked her eyes and said, "About that, our command is Lin Qianhu's uncle, and Lin Qianhu also prepared some New Year gifts or something like that. We will send it over this time, saying that command has a gift in return, so we can pull the gift back.

"What did you say?" Lin Qianhu's uncle is our Mingzhou's command, command Lin? "My dear uncle?" Xu Hui widened his eyes in shock. How did she only know about such an important matter now?

Gou Sheng was at a loss, he did not understand why Xu Hui had such a huge reaction. He scratched his head and asked, "Yes, yes, command Lin is Lin Qianhu's biological uncle.

What happened to me? I don't care! Xu Hui almost yelled out loud. How did she only know about such an important piece of information now? She was so stupid!

No wonder he felt that the Lin Qianhu looked familiar the first time they met, she actually looked similar to that cold and scary Lin command. Thinking about it carefully, other than Lin command's temperament being even colder, just from his appearance, Lin Qianhu and Lin command looked like 50% of each other.

command Lin was the Lin Qianhu's blood uncle and was the biggest official in the Ming Province. If they could hug such a thick leg, let alone take it off, they would even be able to earn a reputation.

Seeing that Gou Sheng and the rest were looking at him weirdly, as if he was acting strangely, Xu Hui wanted to sigh helplessly, but he waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I was just surprised."

"I thought you knew, but that's not a big deal. The Lin Qianhu didn't climb up there by relying on relationships, otherwise, you wouldn't have come to the Kepin. It's fine to be poor."

That's right, he is not his biological father, so he can't take care of too many people. As long as he is capable, it would be the same no matter where he goes. Gou Sheng and Xiao Xiuer both smiled and nodded.

Xu Hui felt like sighing even more. To put it nicely, it was called "contentment and joy". To put it bluntly, it was called short-sighted. She could only see the land under her feet and hope that she would not think about the future. For people like Gou Sheng, as long as they ate their fill and slept together, they would have nothing to ask for. Any future prospects were not as important to them as being able to eat and sleep comfortably today.

Xu Hui sighed. She was not destined to be such a person. Peace and joy were what everyone wanted, but all of this was built on status and power. Class society did not have status and power, so they did not have the ability to protect themselves. This was also why Xu Jingan and the others were pursuing their future. However, they did not understand these things, and even Xiao Da Yong did not fully understand it.

Although he did not know how thick Lin Qianhu's thigh was, he did not neglect it in the slightest when he thought back to what he had done in the past few days. Based on the current situation, the Lin Qianhu still had some connections with his family. After all, they were able to eat food that was sent to his family every two or three days. Xu Hui could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Although he really wanted to hug the Lin Qianhu's leg, Xu Hui could only smile bitterly. Even though he knew the background of the Lin Qianhu, it seemed that he could only be like before and send some food and drinks to liaise with him. After all, she couldn't even get out of the alley, so what could she do? However, since the Lin Qianhu had arranged for people to go and buy New Year's food, it meant that he could spend it in the Kepin. If the Lin Qianhu was here to celebrate New Year, it would not be a bad idea to ask Xiao Dayong to invite him to dinner.

Having made up his mind, Xu Hui waited anxiously for Xiao Dayong to come back as soon as possible. If he could buy all the things on her list, she would have enough food for the New Year's Eve feast.

It wasn't until the day before the new year that Xiao Dazong and his team returned with a great deal of hope.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the term "return with a full load" was used. Six sled wagons had been sent over, each filled with food. Apart from the cotton clothing, vegetables and meat, there was even a stone grinder.

It was said that when the people from the Camp's kitchen saw this huge millstone, they immediately cheered. Not to mention the effort, the ground noodles were still not thin enough. This was also why Zhao Tiechui and the others liked to come to Xu Hui's house to eat.

This time, the stone mill was specially pulled by a sleigh car, it was a two feet and four inches large stone mill, the middle part of the upper fan was slightly concave, it was convenient to pile up the grain, and it was equipped with a grinding rod. The grinding rod used the principle of the lever, by pushing or pulling animals, the upper fan would move in a counterclockwise direction, which was much easier compared to the stone mill that was purely driven by people.
