Chapter Fifty-Six: Master Pankang

You Shi can't bring much things alone, she has to go home to get a few of them, and by the way, she took a break to drink saliva, and when she entered the Huang family's house, she happened to hear them talking about the Yang family. At that time, he sighed: "You don't know yet, the Yang family's ten taels of silver have already been spent, and they sold the second girl of his family again." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Really?!" Although the Huang family scolded the Yang family for not being a thing, they really didn't expect them to continue to be ruthless.

"What the youngest son of the Yang family said to Sister Xiu, by the way, your eldest sister Qu said that you are welcome to go to her at any time to play." You Shi's last sentence was said to Xia Lily, the eldest girl of the Qu family was the first to express her kindness when she heard Xia Lily come back, and of course You Shi came back immediately to tell her.

So Xia Baihe also understood that the nickname of Miss Qu's daughter was Sister Xiu'er, but how many daughters did the Yang family have, and they could sell them again and again?

You Shi hurriedly said a few words and left, and after a while, Xia Boxi came back with the craftsmen of Nanwan's professional pankang.

"Second aunt, third aunt," Yaya not only came by herself, but also brought a little girl that Xia Lily didn't know, "Aunt Yun said to come to play with me, can I take her to see the kang?" ”

The little girl named Yun Gu has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her well-behaved appearance is very annoying, and she is also very polite, as soon as she enters the house, she salutes Huang and Xia Baihe: "I have seen the second aunt, the third aunt, my mother asked me to thank the third aunt for the snacks that my brothers and sisters brought me and me." ”

"Sister Yun is always so sensible." Huang liked Yun Gu's smile very much.

Fortunately, the Huang family spoke first, and Xia Baihe didn't call Yun Gu according to Yaya's words: "Sister Yun doesn't have to be polite, your mother kisses them well?" ”

Poor Xia Lily doesn't know anyone, and of course she won't "deliberately" bring snacks to anyone, it is estimated that You Shi made a good name for her, and Yun Gu and her mother also asked her daughter to express her kindness, to show that their family didn't care about Xia Lily's identity as an "abandoned woman".

"Third aunt, will you go with us to see the kang? It's fun to build a kang here. Yaya said happily and anxiously, they couldn't wait to see the excitement, and with the third aunt there, her father would not let them go away.

"Your third aunt is a big girl, she has to wear a hat when she goes out to see those people, you want her to accompany you to see the excitement, bring the hat first." Huang is reminding Yaya that Xia Lily can't show her head.

Yaya is the Xia family insists on educating according to the rules of large families, although she is small, many rules are not honestly followed, but she understands the rules, and her little face showed disappointment at the moment: "Third aunt, don't go, otherwise my father will have to discipline me even more." But before she brought Aunt Yun, she said that it would be lively to watch, and she had to lose her trust in her friends.

"I don't have time to watch other people work, and I still have to pick up the herbs that repel insects, so Yaya, you really go and bring the hat for me, and also, do you want to watch me get herbs with Aunt Yun?" There is a man working at home, she can't show her head, isn't it that she can't even get out of the Huang family's house, Xia Lily can't be idle.

"Okay!" Yaya regained her radiance and pulled Yun Gu out of the house, "Do you know Yun Gu?" My third aunt's medical skills are amazing, and she cured Sister Gui'er's heavy wind and cold with a bowl of hot noodles! ”

"Sister Yun is too honest, Yaya is too lively, the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law of the Ye family have a headache for their children, and they want to let the two children play together to neutralize it, but now it seems that Sister Yun can't control Yaya." Huang smiled a little helplessly, it doesn't matter if Yaya was lively when she was a child, but if she is older, it will hinder her family.

Xia Baihe smiled and got up: "Second sister-in-law, you rest, I'll go and sort out the medicinal materials I brought, and look at Dian Yaya and Sister Yun by the way." "She doesn't know who the Ye family's sister-in-law is, so she can't talk about it.

It's not an excuse to say that dispensing medicine is not an excuse, Xia Lihe planned to get some mosquito repellent medicine when she saw Xia Hou's father and son full of red envelopes yesterday, and she also took into account that there were many mosquitoes in midsummer when she was in Kangguan City, so she was ready.

When Xia Lily arrived at the door, Yaya just took out her hat and ran back quickly: "Third aunt, how do you know that I came back at this time?" Before she could push the door, the door opened.

"Because I heard you running back," Xia Lily put on her hat and pulled the maid into the yard, "my brother is sleeping, and we go in too often, it will wake him up." ”

The girl said "oh", her steps were much lighter, and her voice beckoned to Aunt Yun who was standing in the courtyard and spoke much softer: "Aunt Yun, Aunt Yun, let's see that the third aunt should make herbs gently, and my brother is sleeping." ”

Yun Gu was originally a very honest child, and when the girl ran to get the hat, she would obediently stand in the yard and waitβ€”she wouldn't be able to run and jump in her own house, let alone someone else's house.

Yaya beckoned to her, and Yun Gu walked over gently, she was still a child after all, and she was interested in Xia Lily dispensing, and besides, there was really nothing to let children play with in Xixi.

The medicinal herbs brought from Jiangdong were piled up in a room, and the one Xia Lily had chosen to live in was right next door, and when they entered the room on the left, they could clearly hear the chaos and all kinds of sounds on the right.

"I ask again, do you really want a flue? Then I won't be responsible if the kang is not hot in the future? "The person who spoke was not young, and his voice was not so crisp, but every word was very loud.

Xia Baihe, who didn't plan to pay attention to the pankang matter, listened attentively, the person who spoke either had a lung problem or a bad voice, who was this person, and was he familiar with the Xia family?

"How did you come to the house before, how did you come now, didn't Master Yuan build a kang for our family before? Have you forgotten? "It is Xia Boxi who always speaks calmly.

"I haven't forgotten, the outsiders in your village, everyone said that the pankang is a brick kang, and I still remember that your family has five rooms for people, but only the old man and the mother's house is connected to the flue, I also told you last time, only the flue is connected to the kitchen, and the fire will be warm in winter, otherwise this kang is always cold, not to mention children, adults can't stand it, once it snows here, it will be a few feet thick, and it depends on the hot kang to keep warm!"

Xia Lihe understood, the person who spoke was a craftsman who worked, listening to this person was good, and he explained everything that should be explained, in the era when there was no heating, burning kang in the house in the north was a good way to heat up, and it was best not to save it.

Xia Boxi understands better, he found Master Yuan is the only one in the four villages around the pan kang, I heard that it is an ancestral craft, ancestors have relied on this for generations to eat, the reason why the family is dominant, is because their Yuan family not only has a good kang plate, but also a real person, his family will take the initiative to design according to the situation of each house, the kang of the plate is guaranteed to be warm and will not block the flue, and a pan of kang can be used for more than ten years without collapsing or breaking.

When they first came to Xixi, they looked at the tattered yard and none of them would clean up, everyone was laying something on the ground and just lay down, of course, there were also some money, thinking about buying a bed, but after inquiring, I found out that every household in Jiangbei slept on a kang, and the only way to buy a bed was to go to the county seat, and the price was so expensive that it scared people to death, who would transport it to a village ten miles away?

Thanks to Xiao Shangshu and Wen Bachelor, who live in Beitan, although they have the jurisdiction of the village head, the village chief of Beitan is really good, he taught them how to clean up the house, find them a craftsman to repair, and then Xiao Shangshu and they pointed out their colleagues in Xixi, so everyone can barely have a decent place to live.

It was precisely because the Xia family had no money that they could come with the elderly and mothers, but now they have some money, and it is almost winter, and the most important thing is that this room is for Xia Baihe to live in.

"Thank you Master Yuan for reminding me, if it weren't for Master Yuan's repeated detailed explanations, I really ignored that this room is different from the one we live in, and I ask Master Yuan to do his best, and I must take care of it so that my family can survive the winter in peace." Xia Boxi thanked Master Yuan.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You scholars are always so polite, thank you, of course we have to make it clear to the master's family when we work......" Master Yuan, who originally talked about the head of the pankang, was a little at a loss in the face of Xia Boxi, who thanked him.

Xia Lily listened next door but frowned, "This room is different from the one we live in", isn't there a flue in the house of the eldest brother and sister-in-law?

"Yaya, your father's house doesn't have a flue leading to the kitchen?" Xia Lily asked her little niece in a low voice.

Yaya asked blankly: "Third aunt, what is a flue?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Forget it, you call your daddy. The little girl's words couldn't be passed on, but Xia Lily still decided to talk to Xia Boxi face to face.

Xia Boxi didn't pay attention to Xia Lily before they entered the next room, and heard Yaya say that the third aunt called him over, and thought that Xia Lily had any requirements for her room, but Xia Lily asked if there was a flue in their couple's room.

There is no flue, the kang is an ordinary bed, and it is not as good as the bed is supported by four feet off the ground, the bricks are not hot in winter, but it is cold and damp, which is not good for people's health...... Xia Lihe's family lived in the south in her previous life, and there was air conditioning at home, she didn't fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of Pankang, but it was okay to coax Xia Boxi with a few simple words.

"Wait for winter, Shi Ming can live with grandpa, Yaya can live with me, is the eldest brother thinking about it like this, he plans to save some money, and then wronged you husband and wife? But you are the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, who will support this family when your bones are broken? In the past, there was no way to have no money, but now I still take advantage of this pankang to press the flue of your house, and the two children can live with you at that time. ”

Xia Lily didn't want to ask too much about the Xia family, but seeing that the Xia family was so rich and so economical, she really couldn't get used to taking her own body seriously, why did the original owner still worry about the huge amount of money hidden on his body before he died, didn't he just hope that they could return to his relatives and help the Xia family survive the difficulties?

"I listen to the third sister's ......" Xia Boxi thought about it and agreed, although he didn't know how wronged You Shi was in order to save money, but how could he not know how much his wife had lost weight, and he didn't want You Shi to suffer more.
