On this day, Tang Xidong stabilized his speed and only took three plates.

After all, after the plate is finished, it is necessary to burn the fire to dry, the weather is cold, in case it is half dry, then the family will not be able to sleep well at night.

dragged his tired body into Liu Lianqing's courtyard, and saw Deng Dahu and Liu Dagou walking out of the hall with sad faces.

Apparently they are deliberating again, and it is even more obvious that they still haven't found a solution.

The two of them didn't care about Tang Xidong, and Tang Xidong was naturally too lazy to go to the hot face and stick the cold ass.

So the three of them passed by.

Sitting on the cold stone bench in the courtyard, Tang Xidong, who was stimulated by the cold chill, shivered.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and if all the households in the village can put on a fire kang, then they will not be frozen.

It's strange that I would have such a compassionate thought, but such a psychology just appeared in my mind, probably influenced by the kind scholar before.

There's nothing bad about it. Tang Xidong looked up at the bright night sky, the moon, the stars, and the brilliant Milky Way, with a warm smile on his face.

At the door of the hall behind her, the girl was just about to walk out, looking at the smile outlined by the somewhat handsome side face, her eyes were in a trance, and then she stood there quietly and paid silent attention.

She didn't know what good thing the scholar was thinking at the moment, but it must have been good.

The boredom in my heart seems to be slowly relieved by the beauty in front of me.

Dinner, eaten in silence.

"Listen to Xiaoqian, what are you busy with?" Liu Lianqing has a habit of drinking tea after meals, and even with Tang Xidong can drink a cup, although the tea is not a good tea, but this allows Tang Xidong to find a little similarity with later generations.

So, Tang Xidong's tea is very pleasant.

"Make a fire kang for everyone, so you don't have to be frozen at night." Tang Xidong did not elaborate.

Liu Lianqing didn't ask in detail, just said "oh", so there was no follow-up.

Tang Xidong, who was tired for a day, thought that he would still be busy tomorrow, so he got up and prepared to leave and go back to rest early.

After taking two steps, Liu Lianqing's dream-like voice suddenly came from behind him: "Do you have any solutions to the problems that the cottage is encountering now?" ”

Tang Xidong turned around in some surprise, looked at Liu Lianqing who was staring at the air in a daze, and felt that she really seemed to be talking in a dream.

Of course, he had a lot of options, but apparently even if he said it now, it would be useless, and no one would believe it.

With forty or fifty years of time to see that era of rapid development, from the era of the great movement in the countryside as a child to various modernizations later, Tang Xidong can really proudly say that I will have a lot of things that you won't do, and just say one thing can change your current situation.

But he won't say, at least not now.

Liu Lianqing didn't really ask Tang Xidong, she didn't expect a nerd who was not familiar with the situation of the cottage and never cared about the cottage to come up with any solution, she was just troubled by the problem of the cottage day and night, and said it casually or unintentionally.

After that, he gave up.

Looking at Tang Xidong, who was silent, Liu Lianqing got up and walked towards the backyard.

Under the moonlight, Liu Lianqing pulled a long shadow, the shadow was lonely, and the girl's body was thin.

But at this moment, the life and death of more than a thousand people on this land under their feet is heavy.

It's so heavy, Tang Xidong doesn't dare to guarantee that he can afford it.

At night, Tang Xidong's snoring sounded in the house, at least he slept soundly.

On the second day, the teenagers woke up Tang Xidong with shouting again, and Tang Xidong, who was a little angry when he got up, could only smile helplessly after waking up.

I can't stand this group of energetic young people!

So, next, a new busyness began, followed by door-to-door fire kang.

There is one of the biggest advantages of the fire kang in the courtyard of the front mountain, that is, unlike the isolation of the back mountain, the benefits of the fire kang are obvious, you can see and touch.

So today, when Tang Xidong came to Qianshan with the children, many people began to have smiling faces on their faces, flattering smiles, flattering good words, and the last sentence is the point, that is, begging Tang Xidong to give their family a fire kang.

No one wants to be cold.

Tang Xidong naturally responded with a smile, and finally agreed perfunctorily, and then excused himself with the work he still had.

On this day, Tang Xidong took the children to five families, and this group of teenagers learned things quickly, basically without Tang Xidong's help, and rarely gave instructions.

After all, it is the apprentice he brought out, and the apprentice learns well, and the master's face is bright, and he will not keep a hand.

In the evening, when Tang Xidong walked into Liu Lianqing's yard again tiredly, at this time, Deng Dahu, Liu Dagou and Liu Lianqing were all in the yard, and when they saw him enter the yard, they all looked up.

It looked like he was waiting for him, Tang Xidong laughed at himself after thinking about it, how could it be? These are all big shots.

I just didn't want to, and he really guessed it by himself.

"I didn't expect that Tang Gongzi still has the ability of this beautiful mason." First, Deng Dahu, who had a smiling face, smiled and accosted.

"The key is still the fire kang thing, Tang Gongzi created it well." Liu Dagou's flattery is also a smile.

When Tang Xidong heard this, he was waiting for him here.

With a humble smile, Tang Xidong sat on the stone bench and looked at Liu Lianqing, who didn't speak, waiting for the girl to flatter her, but the girl who was as cold as an ice stone was still cold.

"In the past two days, everyone in the village said that Tang Gongzi's kang is very useful, and it is very warm day and night, since Gongzi has been plated for the group of leather monkeys, it is better to give one to every family in the village, so that in winter, you don't have to worry about freezing to death." The girl spoke.

This is reasonable, Tang Xidong sounds very harsh, and he is ready to throw his face and refuse on the spot, why?

But looking at the girl with tired eyes in her eyes, the anger can't be released no matter what.

This damn scholar, it must be his original emotions that affect him, and Tang Xidong, who can't get angry, can only blame his predecessor.

In the end, after holding back for a long time, I could only nod in embarrassment: "It is incumbent!" ”

After saying that, I was a little self-defeating.

Next to them, Deng Dahu and Liu Dagou glanced at each other, their faces were full of smiles, and they thanked Tang Xidong again and again, even if they didn't have much sincerity, but it sounded pleasing to the ear, how could it be like the hateful beautiful girl in front of them.

"It's just that it's not easy for these hundreds of families to go down the kang plate, and in the past two days, I myself found that the effect of using a stone to cover the flue to keep warm is not very good, not to mention the waste of firewood, but also tossing people. If everyone is pan kang, the stone has to be replaced with brick and stone, so the abandoned brick kiln in the cottage has to be burned, which will take a lot of time and manpower. Tang Xidong took advantage of the situation to put forward his own request, he had long been unaccustomed to those irregular stones.

"Since Tang Gongzi is making fire kang for everyone, this requirement is naturally to be done, and now Qingzhuang is no longer going down the mountain, but he can send you to instruct, but there is one point, the master who burned bricks before went two years ago, which made the brick kiln abandoned, and now no one in the village will burn bricks, this ......" Deng Dahu showed embarrassment, and touched the scar on his face a little impatiently.

"It's really not good, so I'll make do with stones first, and it'll be cold for a winter anyway." Liu Dagou thought about it and muttered.

Liu Dagou's words made the two of them a little moved.

Tang Xidong saw that he couldn't let the other party retreat, so he hurriedly said: "Then how to do it, if you want to do it, you must do it well, otherwise it is better not to do it." ”

Then he glanced at Liu Lianqing, who was frowning, and then said slowly: "Actually, it is not difficult to burn bricks, I will do it myself, you just have to send someone to me, just make it clear in advance, the person sent must be obedient, and it takes time to burn bricks, everyone has to wait a few days first." ”

"Okay, don't worry, Tang Gongzi, whoever is disobedient, I will beat him. Oops, I didn't expect Tang Gongzi to know a lot, impressive, impressive! Liu Dagou rushed to receive it.

Since the matter was decided, Deng Dahu and Liu Dagou did not stay longer and left together.

So Tang Xidong and Liu Lianqing were left in the courtyard.

Liu Lianqing stared at Tang Xidong for a long time.

"What, I've got dirt on my face?" Tang Xidong touched his cheek and asked in surprise.

"Didn't you ever find out you knew so much before?" Liu Lianqing opened her mouth and said slowly.

Tang Xidong hurriedly smiled and covered up: "I will have a lot, you don't know a lot, although we are married, I can't tell you everything, right?" ”

A joke made Liu Lianqing's face turn cold again, and she was silent. also got Tang Xidong out of the misfortune of almost being guessed.
