Then, there was the sound of slamming the door, and Aunt Wang's angry scolding, how unpleasant it sounded.

Liu Shi only felt surprised, "It's been a few days since I came, and I only found out today that there is an old lady of the Wang family next door to my house!" ”

Lin Youcai also sighed.

But before he could say anything, Liu's face changed again, looked at him with a little guilt, and asked weakly:

"I didn't expect Rong Niang to be said like this by her mother-in-law, this look is to be angry, if I hadn't done this just now, Aunt Wang shouldn't have done this to her, right?"

"How can this be all blamed on you, that Aunt Wang looks like a small-bellied chicken intestine, the kind of person who doesn't see people well, even if you don't return the eggs, Rong Niang will be tortured by her." Lin Youcai comforted.

But Liu still felt uneasy about his conscience, "But I didn't hear any big movement next door for the first few days, and these things happened today, so it's ...... No, I have to take a look when I'm empty, they're neighbors anyway, Brother Wang is still a colleague with Da Lang, so I can't do this like this! ”

After paying attention, Liu went into the warehouse, thinking about what to send next door.

Lin Youcai looked at the old lady and then at the daughter, and the three of them shook their heads helplessly, crying and laughing.

"Okay, go ahead of your business, your mother has this temperament, a knife mouth and a tofu heart." Lin Youcai said funny, waved his hand, and motioned to his daughter to continue to get briquettes.

Lin Mei bowed her head, looked up at the sky, and saw that it was noon, so she went back to wash her hands, and led Xiangping out of the door.

The two came to the market together, Xiangping bought vegetables, and Lin Meiyi went to the blacksmith to get back the two custom-made molds.

When I got home, I was one, my father was one, facing the cinders that had already been mixed with Erya and the dog's eggs, poked the mold handle inside, and then picked it up and shook it, and the honeycomb coal was there, simple and fast, and the dog's eyes lit up.

Stretching out his hand, eager to try, "Sister, give it to me?" I'll give it a try! ”

Lin Meiyi handed him the mold with a handle.

Is the mold made of pure iron a little heavy? The dog is small, and it's a little inappropriate to hold it, so he poked it into the cinder? Struggle to bring it up? But if you're interested, don't you feel tired? On the contrary, the interest was high.

There is a mold, it is really much more convenient, the dog Dan happily poked several honeycomb coals, and found that his hands were sore? That's when you handed the mold to Xiao Hei? Ask him to help poke the briquettes out.

Erya is also very interested, Lin Youcai took care of her daughter and taught her how to use it, and the picture looked very warm.

Liu leaned against the kitchen door frame and looked at the scene in the yard? There is always a satisfied smile on the corner of the mouth.

No matter how hard it is, no matter how tired it is, no matter how hard it is, seeing that these people hidden in her heart can be happy, she feels that whatever bitterness she eats has become sweet.

was watching, and the dog suddenly barked at Lin Meiyi's point.

"I know! I know! Dog Dan hurriedly ran to the kitchen door and said to his mother, "Mother, I know how to control the size of the fire!" ”

"Huh?" Before Liu could react, the dog had already rushed to the utility room and took out the charcoal stove that had been used in the carriage before.

This charcoal stove is made of mud, which is a special pottery process, not afraid of burning and not afraid of water, and charcoal is very useful.

This charcoal furnace is thirty centimeters high, round, eighteen centimeters in diameter, sealed at the bottom, and left a mouth at the top to put carbon and furnace.

At the bottom of the seal, there is an additional striped filter sheet, which is used to leak ash, so in order to ventilate, there is also an opening under the furnace filter, which is convenient for pouring ash, and second, air can be introduced to let the charcoal fully burn.

Goudan put the stove on the ground, went to the kitchen and shoveled a burning briquette and put it in it, then put fresh briquettes on top of the burning briquettes, and finally put a small pot and boiled water.

"Mother, come and see, I just need to seal the mouth for taking the ashes, and the fire will be small, and then open it, the fire will be big, seal half of it, and the fire will be just right for hot water cooking."

"So if you want to control the fire, it's good to use the stove in the future, we can make a big stove, and we can put one in each room, get a chimney and a wind pipe, so that we are not afraid of poisoning, and the house can still be warm."

The dog said excitedly, and Liu was also very excited when he heard it, touched his son's head, and said with emotion:

"How do you grow this little brain, you're getting smarter and smarter."

The dog didn't dare to ask for credit, and hurriedly said: "Mother, it's not all my own credit, if I didn't ask the eldest sister to give me advice, I wouldn't have thought of it." ”

"Hahaha!" Lin Youcai was happy and said proudly: "It seems that we are still very good!" ”

"Oh, by the way, what's a wind bucket?"

He knew about the chimney, but this was the first time he had heard of it.

"Is it complicated to do?" Lin Youcai asked again.

Lin Meiyi got up and went to the kitchen to get three boards out, and explained while demonstrating, "This wind bucket is like a funnel, buckled on the window, and the mouth is facing up, so the cold wind outside is not easy to blow in, but the gas inside can penetrate out, this is a safe opening, with the wind bucket, the gas is not afraid." ”

Lin Youcai saw it, and only thought it was very subtle, obviously the method was so simple, but no one could have come up with it before.

"This is amazing, it's easy to do, just three boards, and every household can use it." Liu praised.

Ah Da and Xiao Hei looked at each other on the side, their eyes full of worship for their master.

The special coal stove and briquette mold are generally unaffordable for poor families, but this wind bucket can really save lives, so simple that it almost doesn't cost money, and beggars can do it by picking up two boards.

Liu suddenly remembered something, beckoned Lin Meiyi to come over, mysterious and mysterious, seeing that Lin Youcai was suspicious, he had to come up and listen with a shy face.

Liu only thought that he didn't exist, and asked Lin Meiyi in a low voice: "Girl, you can save your life, this is a great merit, what are you going to do?" ”

"Mother, what do you want to do?" Lin Meiyi asked her mother rhetorically, those clear eyes seemed to have seen through her.

Liu Shi was suddenly a little embarrassed, and opened his mouth to discuss, "What happened in the market a few days ago, do you remember, it was Lord Wang's matter, the general asked him to find a way, and he didn't expect that he would have to lose his head." ”

"I thought about it, this Rong Niang has that old woman, life is already very sad, if there is no husband again, how pitiful it will be......"

"So you're asking us to give credit to us?" Lin Youcai interjected, a little displeased, "Isn't it good to keep it for her brother?" ”

Liu Shi was choked up immediately, and glared at her husband angrily, "Just think, I don't understand anything!" If I hadn't thought about it, I'd talk to our girl? ”
