"Of course!"

In the end, he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and the dog immediately lost his anger, snatched the briquette in Dalang's hand, and picked up the simple honeycomb mold he made himself-a wooden cylinder.

Throw the briquettes inside, stick them in, squeeze them hard, see that they are formed, pull out the sticks, pour down the mold, and a honeycomb coal comes out.

"That's it? Good coal, why do you make it look like this? Da Lang poked the honeycomb coal, but he still couldn't understand why he made good coal and stone like this.

Seeing that the eldest brother was not as good as himself, his tail was about to rise to the sky, so he picked up the honeycomb coal and beckoned Lin Dalang to go to the kitchen with him.

When the brothers came to the kitchen, Liu and Xiangping were boiling water in the house to clean the dishes and chopsticks, and when they saw Goudan bringing new honeycomb coal, they smiled happily and hurriedly pointed to the stove and ordered:

"Replace the burnt one at the bottom, and your eldest sister will wipe her big loom and boil more water in a while."

said, and couldn't help but sigh, "This honeycomb coal is really easy to use, but it is a little inconvenient, it is not easy to control the heat, cooking this morning, the fire is too big, almost fried the vegetables, if it is the same as burning wood, it would be good to control the size of the fire." ”

The dog was about to change the briquettes, and when he heard his mother's words, he was stunned for a moment.

Does the honeycomb coal he came up with still have such shortcomings?

No, I'll study it later, he must make this honeycomb coal perfect!

secretly made up his mind, and his subordinates were not slow, and demonstrated the use of honeycomb coal to Lin Dalang, and said proudly:

"Big brother, look? Isn't it better than burning coal stone directly? And can you save half of the coal and stone than usual? Do you calculate? This year down? It can save a lot of money. ”

Did Liu hear this later? Nodding in agreement? It doesn't matter if the two brothers can see it or not, it's over if they agree.

But the dog is not so happy? After all, the mother just raised the defect of honeycomb coal.

"But it's not a big deal now? I believe it will be even better, and when I think of a way to control the heat, this honeycomb coal can be more economical and better used. The dog clenched his swarthy little fist and assured him in a serious manner.

Pity? The others didn't listen at all, Lin Dalang was looking at the red honeycomb coal in the stove, I don't know what came to mind? God can be seen.

After a while, he came back to his senses, patted his younger brother's shoulder, and said seriously: "Do you think about it well?" If you really make honeycomb coal better and safer, then the people in the county will have a better winter. ”

"Uh-huh!" Dogan nodded heavily, suddenly feeling that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier.

But if he can really let the big guys enjoy the benefits of honeycomb coal, then he thinks that his efforts these days are not afraid of dirt and hardship, it will be worth it.

"Okay? So do you study well? I'll go to the yamen first. ”

Lin Dalang touched his younger brother's face again with relief, saw that there were more black finger prints on his white and tender face, smiled faintly, hid his merit and fame, and left in style.

"Skipping breakfast?" Liu got up and chased out of the kitchen and asked loudly.

The young man at the door didn't look back, raised his hand and waved, "I'll go to the yamen to eat!" ”

After saying that, the person disappeared without a trace, and slipped away.

"Really, I don't go home every day, so I can't come home for a while, and I just sleep." Liu sighed helplessly and continued to work in the kitchen.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the black paw prints on his youngest son's face, his eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud.

The dog reacted after realizing it, and hurriedly ran out and called Lin Meiyi to lend him the mirror to see.

As a result, before he could speak, good fellow, the yard was full of laughter from the family, and everyone was so angry that everyone was stupid.

Lifted the clean sleeves and wiped them on his face, and when he took it down, he saw that it was full of coal stains.

"Ahhh Lin Shijun, when you come back, the master will definitely kill you! ”

"Hahaha......"

The angry shouts were all drowned out by the laughter of my father.

Dog: I want to cry!

It was Lin Meiyi who found out in her conscience, so she stopped laughing first, hurriedly washed her hands and went to the kitchen to get hot water to clean his dirty face, so the dog didn't cry.

The family was laughing, and suddenly two people came outside the gate, standing at the door, shocked by the chaotic scene in the courtyard of the Lin family, neither entering nor retreating.

Lin Meiyi was the first to notice that there was someone outside the door, and hurriedly reminded the family, and then everyone stopped laughing and raised their eyes to look at the door.

The older old lady had gray hair, bent at the waist, wearing a jujube-colored cotton jacket, a velvet hat on her head, and sunken facial features, but her eyes looked very energetic, and the whole person looked very energetic.

The younger one, who is the same age as Liu, looks a little older than Liu, wears a cyan jacket skirt, and holds the old man's hands red, looking like he is wearing less and frozen.

The woman was tall and thin, a head taller than the old lady, but with her chest hunched over her back, looking very humble.

The two of them didn't know how long they had been standing outside the door, and the woman was still carrying a bamboo basket covered with blue cloth in her other hand, which was heavy, and with the woman's tall and thin body, it felt like she was about to lose it.

Seeing this, Liu looked at Lin Youcai blankly and asked if he recognized it.

Lin Youcai shook his head slightly, and the couple guessed that it might be the neighbors next to them, so they hurriedly stepped forward.

"Old lady, who are you?" Liu asked politely.

When the old lady saw that they had finally found the two of them, she smiled and said, "You are General Lin's father, right?" Old woman, I am the wife of your second family next door, older, and the neighbors call me Aunt Wang. ”

Liu and Lin Youcai hurriedly called Aunt Wang.

The old lady smiled and nodded, and introduced the woman next to her, "This is my daughter-in-law Rong Niang, I heard that General Lin Xiao's family is here, thinking that we will not look up and look down in the future, so I came here to take a look." ”

Hearing this, Liu and Lin Youcai glanced at each other, their eyes were full of embarrassment, they actually regarded the wife of Wang Er as the old lady's maid, which was really embarrassing.

Fortunately, no one knows what they are saying, otherwise they would be annoyed.

"It turned out to be the sister-in-law of Brother Wang's family, the day before yesterday, thanks to him, my family and I bought all the items in the market, and said that I would invite you to come over for a meal in two days, but I didn't expect you to come first, I'm sorry." Liu looked sorry.

Lin Youcai hurriedly asked: "Come in, it's cold outside, let's go inside to warm up." ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bowed their heads, and several people came to the hall, and Zhang got up to greet them.

Lin Youcai called all the children in the family, introduced the two sides, and was polite again, and then sat down.

"It's dark in that courtyard, what are the children doing? I look at the old woman, it seems to be coal, right? Aunt Wang asked tentatively.
