Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 167 The Little Fox Who Complained

Although the sun was shining in the sky, the wind was blowing very hard. It hurt on my face, so Jiang Ci was even more reluctant to go out.

Lin Jingsheng came back from the town compound and went into the house. The two of them sat in the house without saying a word, and the atmosphere was warm.

Jiang Ci opened the window to try whether the wind outside was strong enough, but the wind blew in her face and she quickly closed the window.

The wind blew through the gaps in the window, making a humming sound, as if to verify how strong the wind was outside.

Lin Jingsheng came over and closed the window tightly, and then smoothed Jiang Ci's hair which he had not pushed down.

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a strong wind here.”

"The weather this year is exceptionally good, and this kind of windy weather is the first time this year."

Jiang Ci followed Lin Jingsheng, who was holding his hand, and sat down on the bed, and was obediently held in Lin Jingsheng's arms.

"Before, my family couldn't afford cotton, so we had to spend the winter like this."

"Didn't Ah Ci notice that there are more people going to the mountains to chop firewood during this period?"

"I did notice it, but I thought it was cold and I needed to boil water, so I used more firewood."

"If it's too cold in winter, the whole family will huddle in one room and light a fire to keep warm."

"It's easy to catch fire, and the smoke from burning wood is choking."

"When making a fire, I left the door open so that the smoke would be blown away by the wind. I had to be very cautious when making a fire. If the house really caught fire, I would have frozen to death outside.

But this year, we all wear cotton clothes and cover ourselves with quilts, so there is no need to light a fire."

Jiang Ci was confused and asked, "Is there no one burning charcoal here?"

"If you want to burn charcoal, you have to buy it, but if you chop wood to burn it, it only takes a little effort, and the winter here is not very cold, so you don't need to make a fire every day.

In the prefectures north of Yongzhou, charcoal is burned in winter, and the land there is poorer than here."

It turned out that the temperature here was not high enough for people to burn charcoal.

It can also be seen from here that the environment they live in is more affluent than in many places.

Jiang Ci tilted her ear to listen at the door. It seemed like she heard someone scratching at the door just now.

There was the scratching sound at the door again, along with two meows.

"It's so windy, why is the little fox here instead of lying in its nest?"

Lin Jingsheng pushed Jiang Ci back to her original position, "Ah Ci, wait here, I'll go open the door."

The door opened a crack and the little fox rushed in, shaking its fur a few steps away from the door.

Then lick your paws and wash your face.

Xiaoli usually only goes into the living room for eating and the kitchen for cooking, and rarely goes into other rooms.

Jiang Ci sat on the stool over here, "Xiao Li, come here."

The little fox put down the paws that were washing its face, walked over, and continued to lick the hair on other parts of Jiang Ci that was messed up by the wind.

Jiang Ci couldn't help wanting to touch it, so she took action, messing up the fur that Xiaoli had just licked.

The little fox looked at him unhappily, took a glance, and then licked the fur he had just touched.

Lin Jingsheng took Jiang Ci's hand and said, "Don't touch it. It's still shedding hair."

Listening to the sound of the wind outside, the two of them sat on each side playing Gobang, looking quite comfortable.

However, Lin Jingsheng’s Gobang skills are still so poor.

That shouldn't be the case. Lin Jingsheng learns everything so quickly. He can remember some modern things he told Lin Jingsheng after just one reading.

After he ate another chess piece of Lin Jingsheng, he asked, "Are you letting me win on purpose?"

These words made Lin Jingsheng stunned for a moment. Aci didn't believe that he was so bad.

"I don't, this is my true strength."

Jiang Ci looked at Lin Jingsheng with suspicion, and Lin Jingsheng said again solemnly, "This is my true strength."

Jiang Ci held her chin up in disappointment and said, "Okay."

Lin Jingsheng wanted to restore some of his image in Jiang Ci's heart. "I'm not very good at Gobang, but I'm very good at chess. I haven't met many opponents yet."

Jiang Ci's eyes lit up, "Why did you say it just now?"

At this moment, Jiang Ci thought of the videos he watched at that time, that those who were good at playing chess were not very good at playing Gobang.

"We always played Gobang at home, so I didn't mention it."

"I'm not that good at playing chess. I'm more suited to games like Gobang that don't require much brainpower."

"Why don't you use your brain? It was quite demanding when I was playing with you."

Another game of Gobang was played. Although Lin Jingsheng's Gobang skills were not very good, his temper while playing the game was very good and he was very Buddhist.

He doesn't get angry even when he sees his chess pieces being eaten again and again.

By the evening, the wind outside had calmed down.

The whole village became bustling with activity. People came out with ladders and checked whether the tiles or thatch on their houses were damaged by the wind.

Check if the roof of the shed for livestock is blown by the wind? Many people have some problems with it, so take some wood and a hammer to fix it in time.

Jiang Ci also knew the reason why Xiaoli ran into their room.

Ever since the weather turned cold, Jiang Ci moved the nest that the little fox rarely visited from the utility shed to the kitchen.

There was a pile of firewood in front of the stove, so Jiang Ci placed the nest a few steps away from the firewood.

Now when I opened the kitchen, I saw that all the firewood had fallen on its nest.

The little fox walked to its nest and meowed at Jiang Ci, as if it was complaining to him.

Jiang Ci was amused by its human-like appearance.

Go and clean up the little fox's nest that was pressed down by firewood.

"Is anyone home?"

It was Ye Shuyun's voice. Jiang Ci quickly answered, "Someone is in the kitchen."

Jiang Ci put down the work in her hands and walked out.

"Do you have any extra wood at home? One corner of the shed for sheep in the old house has collapsed. I want to see if you have any sticks that can be used as pillars."

"I don't know either. I don't care about these things. Brother Yun, wait here for a while. I'll go to the backyard to call mother over."

Ye Wan came out and found one for Ye Shuyun.

Jiang Ci followed Ye Shuyun to see how his shed was damaged by the wind.

The stick used to support one corner of the sheep pen shed was missing and had been dug out and placed on the ground.

I saw that the stick on the ground was cracked in the middle, and I knew what the stick was used for.

Ye Shuyun handed the stick over. Lin Changfeng and his father were there, so there was nothing for him to do.

"That piece of wood is too old. It's unfortunate. I didn't expect that it would be broken by today's wind before winter comes."

“Somewhat fragile.”

"It's another year of mending and patching, and next year we'll build a new shed."
