Chapter 209 Let’s grow old together

If we can get wet in the snow together one day, we can grow old together in this life.

So he took this as a good omen, meaning that he and Ali would grow old together.

The snow in the sky was just small flakes at first, but after a while, it began to fall down heavily.

In her previous life, Shen Li had seen a lot of snow in the apocalypse, but in the apocalypse, snow was not a good sign, because this person would be frozen to death again.

But it’s different here. She can enjoy the snow to her heart’s content without having to worry about the snow causing too much harm.

When I thought of this, I became distracted, and when I came to my senses, I saw the man beside me.

"Why are you still standing there?"

"You didn't invite me in."

Pei Yu knew what she meant, but he felt uncomfortable, so he deliberately misinterpreted her meaning.

Shen Li:......

Did she mean it?

"Then you stay here."

"and many more."

Shen Li put down her foot that she had just raised and looked at him asking: Do you have anything else to do?

Pei Yu took out a folded paper from his arms and handed it to Shen Li, "This is a thank you gift for you, take a look?"

Shen Li didn't answer, "You've brought so many gifts, I don't dare to accept them."

"Those things are not expensive. They are not given to you. They are moving gifts for your family. This is my thank you gift."

Shen Li looked over, hesitating whether to take it. He said the things he brought were not valuable, but she didn't believe it at all.

Moreover, the piece of paper in his hand was light and fluffy. It didn't look like a banknote, but more like a land deed or a house deed. It was really hard to take it.

Seeing that she was hesitant and unwilling to take it, Pei Yu spoke again: "That account book is of great use to me, far more than these material possessions can compare to it."

"You helped me find it, which saved me a lot of trouble. And you will like this thank-you gift."

"Even if I didn't find you, you would have found it anyway. I was just one step ahead."

Seeing her awkward look, Pei Yu chuckled, and the man's hearty laughter echoed in the courtyard.

"Ali, what are you afraid of?"

What am I afraid of? Of course, I’m afraid of being too deeply involved with you.

After mumbling a few words in her heart and looking at his smiling eyes, Shen Li hesitated for a while, but still reached out to take it, "What is the market value of this house? I'll give it to you at a discount."

Pei Yu did not refuse. If he didn't accept the money, the house would not be given away.

"We are old friends. I will sell this house to you at the original price, 3000 taels."

Shen Li opened the paper. The address of the house was No. 3 Chunhui Road. She had only seen this place from afar. The road inside was wide, and there were often carriages coming in and out. The common people would automatically avoid that place. It was obviously the residence of wealthy officials.

The houses there are not cheap, but this place is considered the safest place in Qingxi County.

Shen Li thought about it and decided that since they were going to buy a house anyway, it would be the same to buy it from Pei Yu. Besides, it was not like she was not willing to pay.

Thinking about it, he felt much more at ease, "Wait here for a while, I'll go get you the banknote."

Pei Yu nodded with a smile, and when he saw him walk into the room, his expression quickly darkened, but returned to normal after a while.

Shen Li took out five silver notes worth one thousand taels and handed them to Pei Yu.

Pei Yu only drew three tickets. "It's the number we agreed on."

After receiving the silver, the man walked out of the yard. Looking at his back, I inexplicably felt that this man seemed a little angry.

Forget it, I can't figure it out. After putting away the banknotes and the house deeds, Shen walked outside. He has been too busy recently. It is snowing now, and the family has not prepared charcoal and coal yet.

She and her brothers are not afraid of the cold, but her mother, sister-in-law, and Bai Yao are not, so they still need to prepare something.

Shen Changshan and his friends were sitting in the side hall to rest. There was a howling cold wind outside, and even with the doors and windows closed, it was still a bit cold inside.

"Father, mother, eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother."

There is only one family here at the moment, everyone else has gone to rest.

"Ali is here, sit down."

Lin Cuicui patted the seat next to her and asked her daughter to sit over.

"Dad, we don't have any charcoal at home. Let's go to town and buy some tomorrow."

Lin Cuicui shook her head. "Ali, you don't need to buy any more. Ajing and A-Nian brought some over, and Young Master Wei also brought some over. Now we have 80 kilograms of charcoal at home."

Shen Li held her mother's hand. The two hands, one cold and one warm, formed a sharp contrast.

"Mom, you still need to buy some. My sister-in-law will give birth soon. The room can't be too cold. Besides, you are afraid of the cold. It would be much better to put a brazier in the room."

Shen Changshan and Shen Jingyuan both nodded. Ah Li was right. They, the grown men, were not afraid, but their wives were not.

"Okay, I'll go buy it tomorrow."

Shen Yuanzhou thought that charcoal was not cheap in winter, so he asked, "Little sister, can you make charcoal?"

Shen Li looked at her third brother. Not bad. It provided an idea for making money.

It wasn't gray before, but as a survivor who has been struggling in the apocalypse, I really know how to burn charcoal.

The winter in the last days is cold and long. If she doesn’t want to freeze to death, she can develop auxiliary superpowers. She learned how to make charcoal from others.

Of course, it’s not free, you have to pay for it with supplies.

Moreover, Shen Li remembered the densely packed Castanopsis trees that he had seen on the mountain before. They could indeed be cut down to make charcoal, but he had to talk to the village chief first, otherwise it would be very troublesome to argue later.

Seeing that she was silent, the family looked at each other and knew that there was hope.

It just so happens that the family has been having a lot of expenses recently, and Shen Changshan has been worrying about how to make money all day long. Maybe there will be some ready-made money now.

"Yes, it might be a bit tiring. Dad, Big Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, do you really want to do this?"

Shen Changshan nodded, "As long as I can make money, it doesn't matter if I'm a little tired."

"Okay, there's an empty space in the backyard. Dad, go find the village chief tomorrow and buy that piece of land, and then you can burn it in the back."

"Little sister, isn't our place quite big? Why do we have to cook outside?"

Shen Li patiently explained, "Charcoal will produce some harmful gases during the burning process. It is not suitable to inhale them for a long time, so it is better to stay away from them."

"Oh, Ah Li, can you tell us first, how to make charcoal?"
