Xia Bo washed back and asked Master Yuan again if he could connect the original kang room to the flue, Xia Baihe listened to Master Yuan's unclear voice and sounded again: "It's okay, it's not troublesome, you are not the first to change the original, there are all such in our village, last year the family was not enough, only the elderly and children can come, and this year we will bring other houses with us, we have already prepared for the work......"

Why the Yuan family can dominate the pankang is because their family works with their brains, and they learn to keep their hands behind in everything, and the pankang can be connected to the kitchen at any time, and they can also set up a separate stove, in a variety of ways, there is always a suitable one for a small house and a large house. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"However, both rooms have to be constructed, and it will not be finished in half a day today, and it will probably be completed tomorrow afternoon." Master Yuan has to explain this in advance, the rules of their work are far away, the master's family has to take care of lunch, today the Xia family is looking for them in the afternoon, they don't have to worry about dinner, they will also eat tomorrow morning before coming, but the Xia family has to be responsible for the lunch at noon.

"This is natural." The kang of the Xixi family is all made by Master Yuan and his son, and there is nothing unreasonable about the rules of the Yuan family, everyone has also inquired, the Yuan family will never deliberately delay the time in order to eat the master's meal, but they will reduce the wages because they eat you.

The Yuan family also planted a few acres of land themselves, and now is the time for the harvest, and this season is not the best time for the pankang business, so Master Yuan's son is busy in the field, and he is the only one to take over the pankang business to do odd jobs in each village and family.

After making it clear, Master Yuan began to be busy, although he was in his fifties, he worked very neatly and did not stop for a moment, and he did not like to inquire about the master's family affairs, and even concentrated so much that he did not squint.

Xia Boxi looked at it for a while and left the room to look at the water tank in the kitchen, and then carried a bucket to the river to fetch water, Yaya lost interest in the various medicinal materials that Xia Lily turned out at a glance, she noticed that his father was gone, and immediately pulled Yun Gu, and the two little girls slipped to the next room to see Master Yuan's pankang.

No matter how light their movements are, they can't hide the professionally trained Xia Lily, Xia Lily just doesn't mind them slipping away to keep quiet, it is normal for children to be not interested in medicinal materials, unless they are like her, they grew up in a medical family, and even prenatal education is "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions".

"It's smoky in this house, what are you little girls doing here, don't get your clothes dirty!" As soon as Master Yuan in that house saw the maids, they opened their mouths to drive people away.

Master Yuan, don't look at the loud voice, in fact, he is not fierce at all, Yaya can hear the kindness in his words even more, so she is not afraid of him at all: "Grandpa, let us watch for a while, we can stand far away and watch, and when my father comes back, we will leave immediately." ”

They are not afraid of dust but afraid of her father, Master Yuan felt funny when he heard this fairy tale, "The little girl is not sensible, the dust is much more terrible than your father, are you not clear when you listen to your grandfather, that is, the dust chokes, you also want to be the same as grandpa?" ”

Yaya and Yun Gu were startled, and Yun Gu was busy thanking: "Thank you grandpa for reminding us, we won't stay anymore." She pulled the maid to go out.

Yaya still didn't believe it: "Grandpa, since the dust is choking you, why do you still have to do this job?" ”

"So you are not sensible, grandpa's family has a lot of people and little land, how can you eat enough if you don't work much......" Besides, the two sons have to build a new house and marry a daughter-in-law, they are still ten miles away from the county seat, which girl from a family will marry and suffer if they don't have money?

Master Yuan didn't explain too much, he knew that the little girl who was only five or six years old couldn't understand it, but in fact, he didn't understand just by saying that there was less land: "Isn't it good to have less land?" My grandfather said that there are too many kinds of land, and my father and my second uncle work so hard every time they go to the field...... "Isn't it less hard to work harder if there is less land?"

These are really officials! Master Yuan shook his head amusedly, and continued to work without speaking.

Xia Baihe next door heard Yaya say this but felt bad, Xia Hou refused to leave Lu Mama and Ruizhu when he said that the Xia family could not enjoy happiness, and he later said that being able to get land and cultivate it by himself was the way of life left to them by the "Emperor's grace", so if it was spread out, the Xia family actually disliked giving more land......

Xia Lily took her hat and medicine to the kitchen, pretending to pass by and called Yaya: "Yaya, you help your aunt pick up some firewood." ”

"Oh!" Yaya is still able to work, and as soon as she and Yun Gu came out.

Xia Baihe spoke casually: "I also know a little bit about the work of the pankang, did you ask that Grandpa Yuan, why don't you use a wet cloth to cover your mouth and nose, which can cover the dust?" ”

"Can it still be like this? I'm going to ask? The girl ran out of the kitchen again.

The kitchen was a certain distance from the room where Master Yuan worked, and Xia Lihe couldn't hear Master Yuan's answer, but Yaya quickly ran back to talk; "Grandpa Yuan said that the wet cloth can't be completely blocked, what is the waste for?"

"It's better than not blocking," so the main reason is that I am reluctant to be afraid of waste, right? "How uncomfortable is it for dust to enter the throat and lungs, and it costs money to get sick, isn't it more wasteful?"

Yaya ran out again, brought Xia Baihe's words to Master Yuan, and then ran back: "Master Yuan said, how can people in the village be so expensive, we will never go to the pharmacy to find Langzhong in our lives, and we will come here for a lifetime." ”

Yaya's voice was crisp, but Xia Baihe heard Master Yuan's difficulty and Cangsang: "Yaya, you go and ask again, Grandpa Yuan's ancestors are good at pankang work, are there many people in their family who have difficulty breathing, can't breathe, cough and chest pain after doing heavy work?" ”

There are a lot of professional words in this sentence, Yaya can't remember it again, she and Yun Gu wrote it together, repeating and repeating, and the two little girls went hand in hand to find Master Yuan again, and the time to go was longer than the last two times, and they came back with only one word: "Yes." ”

Xia Baihe had already prepared three brand-new cloth towels, and after listening to the words brought back by Yaya and Yun Gu, she handed the cloth towel dipped in water to Yaya: "It is very painful to absorb a lot of dust, and it is difficult to sit and lie down and breathe in the most serious cases, so you tie the cloth towel and give this to Master Yuan." ”

The two little girls only ran for a while, they didn't see the power of dust and only thought it was funny, they smiled and covered their mouths and noses, and then ran out to hand over the wet cloth towel to Master Yuan for Xia Lily, but after a while they came back with the wet cloth towel again.

"Grandpa Yuan said that the wages and meals were all agreed in advance, and this is not within the scope of negotiation," Yaya said and looked at Aunt Yun, who nodded to prove that she was not wrong repeatedly, and then she continued, "Master Yuan said thank you for the kindness of the third aunt, he has it at home." ”

The cheapness of a cloth towel is not greedy, and the character should be trustworthy, Xia Baihe smiled and said: "Hire someone to work, if you don't know the danger, forget it, since you know, how can you not protect it?" Our Xia family is not a black-hearted master, this cloth towel is one of the construction materials, and it is no different from those bricks and soil, and it is not included in the salary. ”

Yaya and Yun Gu learned to repeat it again, and then went to find Master Yuan, and then came back empty-handed: "Grandpa Yuan accepted it, he said that this has to be counted in the salary, the Xia family is a good person, and the Yuan family is not greedy." ”

As long as she accepts it, Xia Lihe smiled and didn't have to give it away in vain, she continued to be busy cooking medicine, and Yaya couldn't stay idle: "Third aunt, do you have anything else for Yaya to ask?" She thinks it's a lot of fun to talk back and forth.

"I don't need it for the time being, and the dust on the pankang is too big, you'd better stay away, the third aunt can't show up to trouble you, it's hard." Xia Lily patted the two little girls and praised them verbally.

After the two little girls came back, they were still reluctant to take off the cloth towels on their faces, and they were playing in the yard with the cloth towels, which made Xia Boxi, who came back with water, startled: "What's wrong with you?" ”

As soon as she saw the adults of the Xia family, Aunt Yun blushed first, obediently took off the masked cloth towel and stood with her head down, Yaya was still excited: "Dad, the third aunt said that you should use a cloth towel to block the dust when you work, and you don't cough ......" She repeated what she passed back and forth.

Is dust so harmful? Xia Bo washed the water and went into the kitchen and asked Xia Lily by the way.

"Of course, working in a dusty place for a long time, those dirty things can be sucked into the throat and lungs and can't be discharged, how can people stand it, you see that the stove is still thick with a layer of dust if you don't wipe it for a few days." Xia Lily explained it in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

Xia Boxi thought that when he first learned to take care of himself, no one in their family would make a fire, and when it came to cooking, the whole yard was full of smoke, and everyone smoked so much that his throat hurt, and he couldn't help sighing: "No one's life is easy, but no matter how downtrod our Xia family is, we won't treat our hired workers harshly, third sister, you did the right thing." ”

Later, You Shi came back and saw Master Yuan working with a cloth towel, and after listening to Xia Baihe explain the reason, she also thought that she had done the right thing, and she hesitated and agreed to decide to reorganize the kang in their couple's room: "But the amount of firewood in winter is too large...... " She whispered to Xia Boxi.

"There are mountains around here, I'll just pick up some more when the time comes, you've worked very hard, the third sister is right, you can't save what shouldn't be saved." Xia Boxi said softly to his wife.

With his hard work, You Shi suddenly felt warm on his body, and the hard days no longer seemed to be terrible: "I still have to send things, you watch the girls at home, don't be tired......" You Shi, who originally wanted to rest and go again, suddenly felt strong in his legs and feet.

Master Yuan is a real person, and he didn't finish until dusk when Xiahou and Xia Shiming came back from the field, and Xia Lily prepared water for Xiahou and Xia Shiming, and also prepared it for Master Yuan.

The basin was placed in the yard, and Xia Lily, who couldn't show her head, was still hiding in the kitchen, and she still asked Yaya to beckon Master Yuan to clean it up and go back.

"Grandpa Yuan, do you have white radishes at home? My third aunt said that the raw white radish is ground into juice and drunk, which can cure cough caused by dust. Yaya said while watching Master Yuan wash her face.

"Really? Thank you for me, Aunt San! "Cloth towels and face wash are the treatment that Master Yuan has enjoyed since he entered Xixi to work, although Xia Lily has never shown up, but Master Yuan has a very good impression of the third aunt in Yaya's mouth.
