After cleaning up the potatoes, Brother Zhou, and Brother Tuesday helped Zhou Shujie to chop the cabbage one by one.

This year's cabbage grows very well, the heart of each tree is very solid, there are five or six catties to pick up one, except for the food eaten during this time, there must be more than 100 of these left.

The five cages of cabbage were cut by the three brothers and sisters of the Zhou family after a while, and then put it under the window root, and neatly placed it here to dry for a period of time, to remove the moisture, and then it could be put into the cellar or pickled sauerkraut.

After finishing the cabbage, it was getting dark, Zhou Shujie left the two brothers to eat, and Brother Zhou said that he didn't leave anything on Tuesday, and went home with the three-toothed scratcher he brought.

Time with your child will always pass quickly, and it will sneak away without you noticing. In the blink of an eye, it was dark time.

Zhou Shujie lay on the kang, listening to the sound of sleeping breathing beside him, thinking about what Maodong still had to prepare and do work.

The cabbage and potatoes in the garden are all cleaned up, and the radishes are not in a hurry, just pull them out when the frost falls.

The seedlings of carob shelves, eggplants, and persimmons should be pulled, and those that still bear things are picked off and put in the warehouse, and the remaining seedlings are pulled out to dry and burn the fire, so as to save the time when they are frozen and cannot be pulled out in the ground. Then let's clean up the back garden tomorrow.

When he was about to fall asleep, he remembered something and scared Zhou Shujie into a cold sweat.

This year's winter is very cold, the son and daughter of the previous life had a cold in the winter, although the cold was cured later, but left the foundation of pneumonia, if it were not for the root of the disease, the two children's health can be better, and they will not die in the disease before the age of one and the other is weak.

Now that I know that this winter will be cold, I have to find a way to make the house tight and warm to prevent my child from getting sick again.

Frowning and thinking about how to make the house tight and warm, I thought about it for a long time, and remembered a kind of fire wall in the countryside in later generations, this kind of fire wall was very popular in the later countryside, basically every family will have it, and when cooking it is hot, plug in the cigarette, it will ensure that it will not cool down for two or three hours.

It's decided, I'll go to Uncle Guo tomorrow and ask them to help me buy bricks and come back to build a fire wall, although bricks are very expensive now, but for the sake of children, this money can't be saved.

After solving the problem in his heart, Zhou Shujie fell asleep with peace of mind.

The night was quiet, and even the dogs in the village stopped barking.

……

It is said that the early bird is eaten by the worm, and the early worm is eaten by the bird.

As the days get shorter and shorter, Zhou Shujie doesn't get up early now, and gets up at six o'clock every day.

When I was washing my face, I heard the evening song of a big rooster outside, and I remembered two children's songs I had heard.

"The sun is shining brightly, and the rooster sings three times. ”

"The flowers wake up, the birds put the tree. ”

Humming the tune of a nursery rhyme in his mouth, ushering in the busyness of every morning.

Busy and orderly at half past seven, all the work of the morning was over.

As the children get older, they sleep less and less, sleeping until about half past eight in the morning and about half past ten in the afternoon, and sleeping from one o'clock to about three o'clock in the afternoon.

So it's not time for them to go to bed yet, and they're kicking their legs on the kang and playing.

Tell my mother-in-law that she will help me watch the children for a while, and I will go to Aunt Guo'er's house.

took 400 yuan from home, put it in his pocket and walked to Aunt Guo'er's house.

The courtyard door of Aunt Guo'er's house is open, and it can also be said that in the countryside, basically the courtyard door of every house is open every day, only Zhou Shujie's house is closed every day because her mother-in-law is sick.

Aunt Guo's family is only her and Uncle Guo, Guo San's sister-in-law and her children are in her house, everyone else has gone up the mountain, Guo Da and Guo Erge Guo Sange They are going to get a rabbit set, and want to set a few hares in winter, Guo Sister-in-law and Guo Er's sister-in-law led the three children to watch the excitement.

Zhou Shujie asked Aunt Guo: "The three children are also going! Can they walk around such a long mountain road?"

Aunt Guo smiled and said: "It's okay, if you can't walk, let his father and uncle, they carry it, hehe"

Zhou Shujie: "Uncle Guo, I want to buy some bricks and build a wall of fire, do you think you can build it?"

Uncle Guo: "Tell me first, what is your wall of fire?"

Zhou Shujie told Uncle Guo in detail about the appearance of the wall of fire she saw before.

Uncle Guo sat there and thought for a while, and said, "It should be about the same, when the bricks are bought and built, they will study and build, and they should be able to be built." ”

Aunt Guo asked Zhou Shujie: "What stove do you plan to use in the place where the fire is burning, whether to build a brick stove or an iron stove." ”

Zhou Shujie thought for a while and replied: "The place where the fire is burned and the place where the chimney is connected, I want to use an iron stove and an iron stove tube, I want to put up the fire wall in winter, and then dismantle it when I don't use it in summer, isn't it easier to dismantle it with an iron stove and a stove tube!"

Uncle Guo: "It's okay, if you want to tear it down in the summer, you can't use ash to build a fire wall, you have to mix it with some fine sand." ”

Zhou Shujie smiled and said, "I don't know much about this, you always look at it." After speaking, he took out the 400 yuan in his pocket and handed it to Uncle Guo. He said: "Uncle, this is the money to buy a brick and the materials for the stove, these things have to trouble your brother and they will help me get them back, and we will settle it together when the wages are finished." ”

Aunt Guo smiled and patted, Zhou Shujie took a look, and said: "What kind of wages are not paid, their masters are staying now, and they can still be paid for this little work." If you pay for it, we won't dare to take it. Saying that, Zhou Shujie's 400 yuan. pushed it to Zhou Shujie.

Seeing this, Zhou Shujie smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's not a salary, I'll make food for Uncle Guo and them when the time comes." ”

Aunt Guo said with a smile on the side. "This can be there, it would be nice if I could have another glass of wine." Hahaha!"

Aunt Guo glanced at Uncle Guo and said strangely: "Just do this little work, you still have to drink!" After speaking, she turned her head and explained to Uncle Zhou: "Pillar daughter-in-law, don't buy it for them, let them be greedy, hehehe!"

Haha!

Uncle Guo put away the money on the kang and said to Zhou Shujie: "Tomorrow, let your third brother and them go to the county seat to buy materials for you, and you should be able to buy them all in the first afternoon." Afternoon research will pretty much get you covered. ”

Zhou Shujie nodded and said "okay", and said a few more words to Aunt Guo's family, and Zhou Shujie went home.

Seeing Zhou Shujie coming back, the mother-in-law sitting on the kang whispered to Zhou Shujie: "Shhh ”

Zhou Shujie also cooperated with her, put her finger to her mouth: "shhhh

Seeing Zhou Shujie cooperating with her, the old lady was so happy that she couldn't see her eyebrows.

Laughing silently with her mother-in-law for a while, Zhou Shujie walked out of the house again and went to the back garden, planning to pull out the vegetable seedlings that had fallen off the shelves that she had thought about yesterday, dried them and kept them for fire, and put the remaining vegetables in the warehouse.
