successfully persuaded Old Man Fang, and Fang Mingyuan's plan to buy monkey tickets was continued. Old Man Fang did not persuade Fang Sheng and his wife and Fang Mingyuan's two aunts, but only took out the money that should be allocated to him, Fang Bin, Fang Mingyuan's grandmother, and Fang Mingyuan, and handed it over to Fang Mingyuan to operate. And Fang Mingyuan also considered that he bought too many monkey stamps, which seemed to be a little eye-catching, although he didn't believe that things like stamps would be included in the restricted circulation materials in the future, but be careful, Fang Mingyuan still asked his grandfather to find a few old friends, and his uncle Fang Bin found his friends, and it took a total of two months to buy all those monkey tickets at the post office, which cost a total of more than 130 yuan. Fortunately, Zhou Yuanchao, who has a very deep memory of him, helped him, and the operation was very smooth. However, Fang Mingyuan was still not satisfied, and through Zhou Yuanchao's internal operation in the post office, it took nearly half a year to buy more than 240 yuan of monkey tickets from the post offices in Pingchuan County and other townships and towns in neighboring counties and cities. That's all for later.

Fang Mingyuan secretly rejoiced in his heart, this is also in this kind of underdeveloped township area, because people are not interested in philately, let alone realize that monkey tickets still have the value of value-added and value preservation, so they can still find monkey tickets, if it is in the highly populated cities and southeast coastal areas, it is impossible to collect so many monkey tickets. The huge population will easily absorb the whole country's only five million monkey tickets. He remembered that at the end of the previous life, a monkey ticket had risen to more than 6,000 yuan, and the value of the monkey ticket had increased by more than 70,000 times in more than 20 years. Even taking these inflationary factors into account, this transaction is also a good deal.

"Xiao Yuan'er, the iron bucket has been installed!" Uncle Fang Bin's voice came from the roof, waking Fang Mingyuan up from his imagination of a better future. The simple copycat solar water heater that has been modified several times has finally been installed, which marks that Fang Mingyuan can finally get rid of the "embarrassment" of bathing in public baths. Although this thing can only be used in summer, Fang Mingyuan can't care about it so much. Anyway, in winter, when the weather is haode, you can also produce some warm water for washing your hands and face.

This simple knock-off version of the solar water heater is actually very simple, a black painted iron bucket is placed horizontally on the roof, connected to the upper and lower water pipes, and a sprinkler head is connected to the lower pipe, and it is done. It is neither possible to adjust the size of the water flow, nor is it easy to adjust the water temperature, but in this era, being able to do so already makes Fang Mingyuan feel very satisfied.

"Come down, uncle, wait until the afternoon, and we'll know what the effect is!" Fang Mingyuan flashed back to the house for the first time, although it was morning, but the summer sun was already very poisonous, and he was not interested in the "healthy skin" in the future life.

In the following time, Fang Bin naturally returned to Old Man Fang to help make steamed buns, but Fang Mingyuan, who stayed at home, was not able to live in peace, and the aunts and uncles in the neighborhood found that a black iron bucket suddenly appeared on the roof of Fang Mingyuan's house, and they couldn't help but be curious, and the flow of visitors was endless. Fang Mingyuan, who was so annoyed, had to hide in his grandfather's house in order to be quiet.

When the sun was setting in the west, Fang Bin, who had finished a busy day's work, pulled Old Man Fang and his grandmother, and returned to Fang Mingyuan's house with Fang Mingyuan on his back, he couldn't wait to verify his work in the past few days. At the door of the house, he happened to collide with Fang Sheng and his wife who came back from work.

"Let me try!" Fang Bin said hello to Fang Sheng and his wife, and plunged into the toilet.

"Uncle, be careful not to burn!" Fang Mingyuan knew that after a day of exposure, the temperature of the water in the bucket was not seventy or eighty degrees, but also fifty or sixty degrees, if he was not mentally prepared, it would not be strange to be hot.

"Mingyuan, what are you messing around?" Fang Sheng knew at a glance that it was a new trick that his precious son had tossed again, two days ago he saw the iron bucket painted black in the courtyard, so he asked Fang Mingyuan what he was for, Fang Mingyuan pretended to be mysterious and avoided talking about it. I didn't expect that the iron bucket was sent to the house today, what if such a heavy iron bucket collapsed the roof and injured people?

"Fang Sheng, discipline Xiao Yuan'er, it's not your turn yet! Your father and I haven't died yet!" Old Man Fang immediately stepped forward and scolded, "The child is only a few years old, you have a gloomy face all day long, what do you look like!"

Fang Sheng said with a smile: "Dad, you spoil Mingyuan too much, how can I educate him if it goes on like this?"

Old Man Fang smiled proudly: "You Lao Tzu and I spoil him like this, I have the ability to bring me a hundred back from Yemen." Xiao Yuan'er is the first in the grade, hum, when you were a child, you Lao Tzu and I didn't go to school to listen to the teacher's training! If you are so promising, Lao Tzu will also spoil you!" Fang Mingyuan smiled secretly in his heart, it turned out that when my father was a child, this school was not very good. This is big news, and I didn't know it in my previous life.

Fang Sheng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he was exposed by Lao Tzu in front of his son, and it was inevitable that he would be a little embarrassed.

"Cheng!" Fang Bin suddenly screamed excitedly from inside the toilet, and then Fang Bin jumped out of the toilet with his wet hands. "Xiao Yuan'er, it's successful! You can definitely take a bath!"

His voice immediately attracted the attention of his neighbors, and Fang Mingyuan had already seen Uncle Guo and Uncle Zhu standing at the door of his house.

Old Man Fang happily took the first step to get in, and after a while, an old face walked out like a flower, hugged Fang Mingyuan and said lovingly: "It's still our little Yuan'er who is smart, a broken iron bucket can transform him into a shower!" Hmph, if some people can make such achievements at the age of six or seven, I will treat him as a treasure!"

Fang Sheng didn't care about his father's ridicule, and rushed into the toilet in front of his wife. Only then did he see that there was a simple sprinkler hanging on one wall of the toilet, and after turning it on, a steaming hot water immediately sprayed out of it, he reached out and tested the water temperature, and sure enough, as Fang Bin and the old man said, the water temperature was enough for bathing, and it was even a little hot. couldn't help but be in a daze for a while, he didn't expect his son's nonsense to be really successful!

"Fang Sheng, you come out for me, let Xiao Yuan'er and your mother and daughter-in-law wash in the water first, and the old man will go to the back!" came from the old man Fang with a little dissatisfaction. Fang Sheng could only walk out with a wry smile, it seemed that he had stabbed a hornet's nest today, and the old man didn't like him no matter how he looked at him.

Next, the Fang family's small courtyard became a world of joy......
