"What's wrong?"

As soon as Zhen Huaimin left, Lin Youcai asked worriedly.

Lin Dalang didn't know what was going on, he shook his head and comforted his father, "I don't know, but it shouldn't be a big deal, the general has already dealt with it, even if something happens, it will be fine, let's go to the new home first, pack up our things, Qinglan and I have to go to the county office." ”

Lin Youcai was dumbfounded, "Are you going to work?" I haven't caught my breath yet! ”

Lin Dalang smiled helplessly, and didn't tell his father, this is okay, when the two countries are at war, it will be a continuous rotation, and there will be no rest for several days and nights.

Pan Bao's home is also on this street, but at the end of the street, the house he lives in is better than the civil thatched house, it is a brick house made of stones, the area is relatively small, the lighting is not very good, but it is strong enough.

Therefore, the two families made an appointment to clean up at their respective homes first, and then get together when they were ready.

The carriages of the three families went separately and went to each house.

"Get out of the car." Lin Youcai shouted at Lin Meiyi and the others in the carriage.

The sisters and brothers in the carriage immediately rushed out of the carriage, and Erya and Goudan couldn't wait to see what their new home looked like, and followed Lin Dalang to the front.

Lin Dalang had this courtyard before, but he was the only one who was there, so he lived in the barracks for a long time and never came.

The wide black wooden gate opens, and a wide courtyard opens into view.

It is a one-entry courtyard house with houses on all sides, a patio in the middle, and a well under the eaves on the east side.

"Mother! There is a well in the yard, so you don't have to worry about running to the river to fetch water in winter! ”

Erya's voice came out of the courtyard, and Liu, who was taking things, listened to it, and his mood, which was not high, eased somewhat, and finally showed a smile on his face.

Lin Meiyi saw her mother's little expression, and the worry in her heart suddenly dissipated.

It seems that the old lady has lost her anger and is beginning to accept reality.

Zhang smiled helplessly, crossed the high stone threshold with a cane, stood in front of the gate, and looked at the courtyard in front of him.

After a while, he gave a hexagram, "What is the top?" The next is Kun, and there is Kanshui? Booming. ”

"This house has good feng shui." Zhang nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the east room, and said with a smile: "Youcai, where do I want to live for your mother?" Remember? ”

Lin Youcai was too busy, "Remember? Mother, don't you worry? Yiyi? Find a place for your grandma to rest first! ”

"Okay." Lin Meiyi smiled and agreed? Helping grandma to the south hall? Put a bench for her? Burning the stove again? Then I got up and went to help my father.

There are three bought laborers at home, plus Lin Youcai and his wife and Lin Meiyi, Lin Dalang and his brother and sister? The power of man is great, and it will not take long for things to be unloaded.

The next step is to clean the house.

Snow in the patio? Sweep them all into the side gutter.

It's cold in the house, and there's no bed? It's all ondols, but they are not connected to each other? If you want to sleep warmer in the future, you will have to waste a lot of firewood.

But now it's cold in the house, it's warm, and it's the first day of entering the door, so for a good omen, all the kang in the house must be burned.

However, when Liu went to look for firewood, he sadly found that the firewood room was empty, there was no firewood at all, and only two boxes of strange black gravel were found in the corner of the kitchen.

"Dalang! Come here! Liu shouted loudly.

When Lin Dalang heard the sound, he saw his mother pointing to the two frames of black stones in the kitchen and asking him, "What is this?" I don't have firewood at home, do I have to buy it? Where do you sell it? ”

Lin Dalang smiled, walked over and brought out the two frames of black stones, and explained: "Mother, this is firewood, called coal stone, it burns hot and fast, it is better than firewood, but you have to be careful when you use it, and you need to add some soil, so that it can burn longer." ”

"Oh, by the way, you have to remember the ventilation, the general said that after a long time, this coal stone will emit a smell, poisonous, and if you are not careful, you will die."

"What?" When Liu heard that he was going to die, he waved his hand and didn't do it, "Can you still die if you burn firewood?" What is this? I don't need to, you go get me firewood!" ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly asked Lin Dalang to get these two boxes of coal away for her, as if the coal could poison people immediately if she stayed in the house.

After all, it was something he had never seen before, and Lin Dalang understood his mother's worries very well, but he still wanted his mother to try again.

"Mother, this is all bought with money, and it can't be bought in other places, so the official family can use it, if it weren't for the general's face being big enough, no one would sell it to us."

"Such a baby?" Liu was moved, but she still panicked when she thought that she would die if she used it.

Lin Dalang nodded violently and pointed to the snow-covered mountains outside, "Mother, look, now that the snow is so big, the mountains are far away." Where did you tell me to get you so much firewood? ”

"Nothing sold in the city?" Liu frowned and asked.

Lin Dalang shook his head, "No, just sell coal and stone, even if you have, it will be expensive, you will be reluctant." ”

"Then I'll have to see for myself!" Liu said stubbornly.

Lin Dalang's eyes were full of helplessness, "What's wrong with you just using coal and stone first?" Don't close the doors and windows and you'll be fine, it's easy to use, really! ”

was anxious, spoke louder, and Lin Meiyi and the others were all attracted over.

Lin Youcai entered the room and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Still quarrelling? ”

When Liu saw Xianggong, it was like seeing a savior, and immediately pulled Lin Youcai in front of the two boxes of coal, and said what Da Lang had just said to him.

At the end, his eyes were full of rejection, "Tell me, who dares to use this thing!" ”

"I dare to use it!"

The girl's voice was full of excitement.

When the couple looked up, they saw that it was their most intimate eldest daughter, and they were immediately angry.

Liu raised his hand and patted Lin Meiyi's arm, "You stinky girl, what kind of mess are you here to make, this is going to kill people, you can't use it!" Just burn firewood! I don't believe I can't afford it! ”

Lin Meiyi's words as a mother did not exist, she squatted in front of the two frames of coal and stone happily, not afraid of dirt at all, and directly took two pieces in front of her to look at them, and then went up and smelled them, and determined that it was a primitive coal mine, and she almost jumped up happily.

This is what she has been in Da Zhou for so long and has come into contact with the closest thing to modern society.

This thing works so much better than firewood!

Resistant to burning, high temperature, smelting metals, developing new power, steam engines, trains...... It was up to it to start the industrial revolution!

"Mother, this is a baby!" Lin Meiyi got up excitedly, held the black coal and handed it to Liu, so frightened that Liu hurriedly slapped the coal and stone in her hand away, "Poisonous!" You're crazy! ”

Lin Youcai was also worried and hurriedly took out a sweat towel from his coat pocket to wipe off the stains on Lin Meiyi's hands, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"You kid, why are you so reckless, you don't understand anything and go up." Lin Youcai couldn't help but chatter.
