Chapter Ninety-Four: Air Conditioners Without Electricity
The adobe courtyard house in Yujia Village has been vacant for a long time, and only Yu Chongtian will go back from time to time to take care of it, so that there will be no one living at home for a long time, and there will be something missing or which location will rot.

However, he could only look at his own house, and wanted to go to the house to have a look, but he didn't have the key, and the old couple of the Yu family locked all their houses before leaving, but they didn't leave a key for him, and he didn't want to ask for it.
The overseas Chinese are not very far from the town, the first year of the Dragon Boat Festival, Yu Chongtian thought about it or asked someone to bring a message, asking the old man and his wife whether to go back to the old house for the festival or stay in the town, I don't want the person to come back but said that I didn't see the old man Yu, and the same is true for the Mid-Autumn Festival in the future, and even the old man Yu didn't ask someone to bring a letter to him during the New Year.
During the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Yu Chongtian sighed and didn't say anything, but his heart was cold for a while, and he no longer asked people to carry letters in the future.
As for Yu Fengwei, he has not been in contact with his father since the day of separation, and he has not been counting on him for a long time, so he doesn't take it to heart.
In the past few years, the two sides have ignored each other, and there is a great sense of breaking off contacts.
When it got dark, the three siblings returned home with a few bundles of paddy, and the helpers had finished their meals and went back to the house to rest, so that they could get up early tomorrow to work.
Xiong helped tidy up the kitchen hall after eating, and also took his son home to rest.
Bai Shi had already boiled a hot bath, and when he saw them coming back, he was busy calling Yu Qiao and Yu Xi to take a bath.
With the conditions, Yu Qiao specially designed two bathing rooms that could drain water, one for their mother and daughter, and the other for Yu Chongtianye.
She originally wanted to learn from her predecessors and design a toilet or shower, but after trying several times, she found that no running water and no electricity were two big problems that could not be overcome, and her skills were limited, so she had to give up.
However, she designed a simple "air conditioner" that could be cooled without electricity.
This is what she saw on the Internet, and she made it herself later, because the process is so simple, so she always remembers it.
In modern practice it is; Find a piece of cardboard and tie dozens of neat rows of small holes, then cut the discarded plastic bottle from the middle of the bottle, leave the head part, stuff the bottle mouth into the small holes in the cardboard, and then put the cardboard to the window, the bottle mouth side faces the house, and the bottle side faces out of the window.
Since there were no plastic bottles, Yu Qiao hired a carpenter to chisel an arm-long piece of wood into the desired shape, and the cardboard was replaced by thin boards.
After being made and pressed on the window, Yu Qiao was shocked to find that the effect of replacing plastic with wood was actually better, the temperature in the house was lowered by several degrees, not to mention, and the cold air flowing into the house still carried a fragrance of wood!
For this major and amazing invention of Qiao, Yu Xijun was dumbfounded from Xiaore to today's Yu Chongtian, Bai's, and Yu Fenghao, and gave a thumbs up to Qiao, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.
After taking a shower, Yu Qiao and Yu Xi hurriedly ran back to the cool room, so as not to stay outside for too long and sweat again.
Yu Xi doesn't like to sleep alone, even if she is such a big girl, she still has to sleep with Yu Qiao every night, Yu Qiao has nothing to do, and she follows her.
The two sisters were lying on mats, enjoying the cool temperature of the room.
The hot air flow from outside the house runs into the larger wooden opening outside the window, and when it passes through the narrow wooden neck, the pressure changes, and the hot air is cooled before entering the room.
The two Yu Qiao sisters were also tired for a day, so they closed their eyes and pretended to rest, chatting with each other, just waiting for sleepiness to come up and fall asleep directly.
"Knock knock."
Hearing a knock on the door, Yu Xigulu got up and went to open the door.
Later, after taking a bath, Bai Shi walked in with a smile and talked to Yu Xi, and then sat on the edge of the bed, and said to Qiao'er with a trace of embarrassment on his face: "Qiao'er, um...... There's one thing I'd like to ask you meant. ā
When Yu Qiao heard this, he got up and half-leaned on the bed frame with his two arms on the back of his head, and said curiously: "What's the matter?" ā
Yu Xi climbed onto the bed, leaned his head and face half on Yu Qiao's shoulder, and listened to Bai's words with interest.
"Xi'er, why don't you go out for a while, and I'll talk to your sister about something." Bai Shi didn't continue to speak, and said to Yu Xi in a soft tone.
Yu Xi was stunned for a moment, shook his head and refused to go out, "Is there anything I can't listen to?" Mother, what do you say, I promise not to tell anyone. ā
"Well, in two years, it will be your turn." Bai Shi has always been reluctant to refuse the requests of several children, and this time is no exception, her voice is behind, but she doesn't know how to speak.
Yu Qiao and Yu Xi looked at each other incomprehensibly, and they were puzzled, what embarrassing thing made Bai so unspeakable?
"Mother, if you have something to say, just say it, I'll listen." Yu Qiao's face was full of encouragement, and he motioned for Bai to speak out.
"Uh...... Then I said it. It was the first time for Zhang Luo to do such a thing, Bai Shi swallowed his saliva nervously and said: "Just now you went out to pick up rice, and a matchmaker came from Chuanxi County, saying that there is a family that does the business of dyeing houses...... Ask if we would like to. ā
After listening to Bai's covert and hesitant words, Yu Qiao couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
What's going on?
Is there any mistake, her relatives haven't come yet, and they're about to start a blind date?
"Sister is getting married?" Yu Xi sat up in shock.
"No, no...... I just want to ask what your sister means, not for her to marry. Bai Shi hurriedly explained.
"Mother, I'm still young, I don't want to talk about this matter so early, let's talk about it in a few years." Yu Qiao felt extremely funny, and said with a crying and laughing expression.
"Well, that's what I mean. It's just that someone else comes to the house to talk about it, and I think about it and I should let you know. Bai was afraid that his daughter would misunderstand something, so he explained again.
Speaking of Yu Qiao, although he is young, it is common for him to have a family affair in the township. The reason why she came to talk to Yu Qiao was because she heard the matchmaker say that the family was in the sky, and there was nothing in the sky, as if she missed it, she would never find such a good person again, so she moved her mind. But in the bottom of his heart, he was reluctant to let his daughter marry early, so he discussed with Yu Chongtian to ask Yu Qiao's opinion, and if he encountered such a thing again in the future, he also had a bottom in his heart.
Now that he received a positive reply, Bai couldn't help but get up and go out with a smile.
The next day, the sky was still dark, and the chickens had just crowed twice, Yu Qiao and Yu Xi jumped up and dressed quickly, went to the backyard to freshen up, and didn't have time to eat a bite of food, so they hurriedly walked towards the first factory near the official road.
There are three long rows of factories, and the row of factories near Guanlu is where the pickled goods are placed, and merchants and vendors pull goods from here every day.
In the second row of the building, there are semi-finished products that have not yet been pickled and tasted, and the doors are only opened once a day and at night.
The third row of factories at the back is where the women go to work on weekdays.
