Chapter Ninety-Six: Connected to the Same Fate
Wang Jianguo: "Did you notice that the rain cloth moved?"
Shi Dadiao: "Didn't move." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe branch I pressed was still on top, and it looked like it was the same as the one I pressed. ā
Wang Jianguo also felt strange, but he didn't dare to say it. If he also said that it was missing or lost, Shi Dadiao would have to scold the street.
There was no sign of it, but the ears of corn were missing, and they could not be found. In order to calm things down, Wang Jianguo pretended to be casual and said:
"It's likely that the ears of corn were still damp when they were released, and now they are drying out and shrinking. It's not that objects can expand and shrink in heat, it's winter, so it's less!"
Shi Dadiao didn't believe it: "What are you talking nonsense? I put ears of corn like this every year, and this happened in any year! Someone must have stolen it." ā
Wang Jianguo: "How much work does this thief have?
Shi Dadiao: "What if he steals it and then presses it down?"
Wang Jianguo: "No matter how good the pressure is, you can see it." Didn't you say it didn't move at all?"
Shi Dadiao: "So, what's going on?"
Wang Jianguo: "This year's ears of corn are more trendy than in previous years!"
Shi Dadiao was puzzled, because he had no handle and nowhere to ask, he had no choice but to do anything.

God has not shed a single snow rain since the first snow that just covered the ground. The northwest wind blew day and night, and the weather was extremely cold.
Due to the winter idleness, the grain is not rich, after the big freeze, the room implements a quantitative distribution: one morning and one night, each person has a bowl of porridge, two adults in the nest, one child, and a spoonful of vegetables. The rice bowl has also been changed from the original three to one, and the master chef is in charge of the spoon himself.
The ration is rationed, and it is cleared at one time, and if there are children and elderly people at home, they will take it home and eat. It's also deserted to eat at the team site.
Although people are not satisfied, they can only accept it. Because I don't work anymore, I can stick to my waistband tightly.
Heating became a problem.
At this time, people did not have the conditions to light coal stoves. In previous years, it was to burn the kang for heating, this year there is no pot, the kang can't be burned, the good conditions are a charcoal brazier, and the conditions are poor, only the pot is covered with chaff or broken grass to warm the house.
In order to prolong the time, do not let the brazier catch fire, and slowly simmer from the bottom or the side.
When there was no fire, black smoke came out, and the house was filled with smoke, and when I woke up the next day, both nostrils were black.
Lamei lit such a brazier with broken grass. If you don't light it, the urinal can freeze solid, and you have to pour it out, and you have to wait until the sun melts at noon to pour it out.
Of course, Lamei has a space passage, and the inside is at room temperature, neither cold nor hot, and you can sleep in it. But you have to go outside at night because there are no toilets inside.
Niu Ruixi, the new accountant, heard about the haunting of the team site and never rested at the team site at night. If there is no meeting, I will not come at night.
Wu Yiqi'er is old, her resistance is weak, and she can't stand the cold.
Most of the people went home for dinner, and the restaurant was idle, so Wang Guilan asked Wu Yiqi'er to set a kang in the northeast corner of the Beiwutong room and let him burn the kang to keep warm.
With the same fate, Wu Yiqi'er saw that Lamei was also lonely, and the small east ear house was cold and cold. Not at all better than his West Ear House.
Besides, although the white-haired grandmother covered her, it was only fate, and it was impossible to give her a warm room.
Wu Yi'er said to Wang Guilan: "Anyway, if you burn the kang and let the smoke turn around, you can warm another room." It is better to build a wall of fire in the Lamei house, and the smoke will come out through the wall of fire. In this way, both rooms are warm. ā
Wang Guilan: "If you don't say it, I also have this plan." Then let the people who build the fire kang open the east gable and build the fire wall in the east ear house. ā
So, the east gable of the north house was opened, and a fire wall was built in the east ear house, which was connected with the fire kang between the north house, Wu Yi'er's fire kang was hot, and the fire wall in the Lamei house was also hot, the house was small, and the house was warm all day and night.
Although there is a space passage, Lamei can't freeze, but she is the only one who knows about it. Besides, the house is warm, Wang Xiaohua and the others come to play, and they don't get cold, Lamei is very grateful to the captain and Wu Yi'er.
Seeing that Wu Yiqi'er's cotton clothes were very old, Lamei spent 20 yuan in her previous life to buy a green acrylic cotton blouse that was the most popular at that time and gave it to him. And instructed:
"This is the white-haired grandmother who gave it to you, saying that you burn the fire kang every day, and the fire wall is very hot, and I will not be frozen this winter. To thank you, let me send you a cotton blouse. ā
The acrylic cotton top is light and warm, because it is a chemical fiber fabric, it is smooth, and there is a gaba that can fall off by wiping it with a wet towel, which is really suitable for old singles who don't like to wash clothes. I can't like Wu Yiqi'er
When the old horse monkey saw Wu Yi'er wearing a new cotton jacket, he was very envious, and asked several times where he bought it.
Wu Yi'er couldn't help it, but still said it to his fellow people.
The old horse monkey thought about it: he couldn't help Lamei by looking at the warehouse by himself, and he couldn't get the gift of the white-haired grandmother.
How can I do something good for Lamei, please the white-haired grandmother, and give myself such a padded jacket?
Thinking about it, I thought of the convenience of looking at the warehouse by myself: there is no child who does not like to eat snacks. I can get the sweet potatoes just out of the cellar and the corn out of the warehouse every day, so why not roast a few sweet potatoes in the brazier every day and burst a handful of corn flowers for the plum.
The white-haired grandmother saw that I liked this child and cared about this child, so maybe she could give me a cotton blouse that was as light and warm as Wu Yiqi'er.
So, when the team took out sweet potatoes every day, he picked the smoothest ones and left a few pieces and roasted them slowly in the brazier. The roasted sweet potatoes are charred on the outside and glutinous on the inside, and you can smell the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes from afar.
When he came to fetch corn, he also took out two small handfuls and burst them into white and fat rice flowers in the ashes of the brazier, one of which was the size of a penny (two centimeters in diameter).
During this period, popcorn flowers were not sold, and people could not see grain grains, and popcorn became a rare snack for children, which was rare.
The old horse monkey gave Lamei, and Lamei was used instead of candy to entertain children, so that some money could also be saved.
The drunkard's intention is not to drink, Lamei knows the intention of the old horse monkey: he pleases the "white-haired old woman", not this small body, which is enough to show that the "white-haired old woman" has penetrated into his heart.
That being the case, why not carry forward the "white-haired grandmother" in him and use his mouth to promote the existence and benefits of the white-haired grandmother?!
Lamei also bought an acrylic cotton jacket for the old horse monkey that was exactly the same as Wu Yiqi'er.
The old horse monkey was so happy that he couldn't do it, so he offered roasted sweet potatoes and popcorn for a winter. That's for later.
