Chapter 30: Sending Charcoal in the Snow (1st Shift)
This is really a charcoal in the snow, Yang Ruoqing and Sun glanced at each other, thinking so in their hearts.
However, the stove that was just built today, even if it is dry and not raining, it has to be dried for two days before it can be used.
What's more, it is still raining today, and the air is relatively humid, so it is estimated that this stove will have to dry for a few more days before it can be lit for cooking.
Thinking of this, Sun's face showed a touch of embarrassment again. Da Yun on the side glanced at Da Niu, and got what was passed in Da Niu's eyes, Da Yun nodded, turned around and took Sun's hand and said: "Qing'er Niang, this afternoon, you all go to my house to eat, I explained to my two daughters when I came, let them buy more rice, I'm afraid the rice has already been cooked." I'll wait for the house to fry two dishes, and the big guys will go over at noon! ”
"Sister Dayun, you are all here to help our family, and you have to go to your house for dinner, which is ......"
Da Yun gently patted the back of Sun's hand, and said in a low voice: "Qing'er Niang, we all know the situation of your family, hey, this is no different from going out of the house." We are all responsible dealers, our own lives are not good, and there is nothing to help you, this can help a little bit, even a little, you don't dislike it! ”
"Da Yun, this is absolutely unacceptable, you and Osmanthus, Da Niu and Chang Gung, if it weren't for you, I would be ...... with the third child" Sun couldn't continue, tears fell like beads with broken threads.
If Qing'er's father hadn't been crippled, this would have been a hopeful thing!
"Qing'er Niang, don't be sad, take your time, everything will be fine. You see, our Qing'er is also well-behaved now, and she just helped me carry things! ”
Da Yun turned his head to look at Yang Ruoqing, and said with a smile, on the way here, she passed by the door of Chang Geng's house, chatted with Osmanthus for a few words, and heard the news of Yang Ruoqing's soberness from Osmanthus, Da Yun was also relieved for Sun from the heart.
"Okay, then let's say so, I'll go cook at home, and I'll all go over later, the fifth child, the second boy of Yongjin, I'll let my boy come over and shout!"
After leaving, several men in the stove room began to get busy again, and Chang Geng proposed not only to build a stove, but also to make a suggested cupboard by the way.
Sun and Yang Ruoqing took all the things brought by Osmanthus and Da Yun to Yang Ruoqing's house, but there was no way, after the Sun family put down two beds and two pieces of furniture in their room, the place where they turned around was almost gone.
"When I get your two younger brothers back, I'll stew the old hen sent by your sister-in-law of osmanthus, your father should make up for it, Qing'er, you haven't eaten anything good when you recover from a serious illness, and your two younger brothers are growing up, so you can't lose it." Sun whispered to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing was squatting in a corner of the house, where a simple chicken coop was built with straw, and she carefully put the old hen in it.
The hen was very well-behaved, lying in her "new home", and she didn't run around, she tilted her head and stared at Yang Ruoqing with a pair of small black eyes.
Hearing Sun's plan, Yang Ruoqing turned her head to look at Sun's and said, "Mother, don't be in a hurry to slaughter this hen, I just touched its belly, a belly of eggs!" ”
"But you and your father's body bones, why don't you eat something good?" Sun asked again.
"The bones of my body are repaired, and the fat of this body. It's my dad who should make up for it! Yang Ruoqing pondered, stood up and said: "This hen has raw eggs, from tomorrow, let's boil an egg for my father every day, and after a while, when we stabilize, we will get some eggs to hatch the chicks!" ”
Sun pondered for a moment, "That's the only way to go!" ”
Da Yun's hands and feet were very neat, and after a while, he sent her boy over to urge him to eat, and it just so happened that the things in the stove room here were almost done. Next, it's time to open the side door.
Because when the family was separated, the Tan family and Yang Hualin said that the three rooms were separated, and they could no longer enter and exit from the main entrance of the old Yang family in the future.
Yang Huazhong asked Chang Geng and Da Niu to help, and opened a side door on the courtyard wall in the backyard, and the people in the back three rooms went in and out through the small side door.
"Mother, you go to Aunt Dayun's house to eat, just bring me a little later, I'll stay with my father!" Yang Ruoqing proposed.
"You go, mother stays."
"Mother, it's raining today, the road is slippery, I don't really want to walk." Yang Ruoqing came up with this excuse.
As soon as Sun heard this, he said, "Nacheng, then you stay in the house, and your mother will come back after dinner!" ”
"Hmm!"
Seeing that the Sun family and the others were all gone, Yang Ruoqing first went to close the door of her house, then went to Yang Huazhong's house to take a look, poured a bowl of hot tea for Yang Huazhong, and told Yang Huazhong about the situation in the stove room.
Yang Huazhong's vitality has not yet recovered, and he has been worrying about the separation of the family for the past few days, and his eyelids are sinking before he can say a few words.
"Dad, I'll help you lie down and sleep, and I'll go to the stove room again."
After waiting for Yang Huazhong to lie down, Yang Ruoqing gently closed the door, picked up a shovel she had received when she split the family, and came to the stove room.
Shovel down hard in the corner of the stove, the soil is very soft, and the rain is wet, so it is not very difficult to dig.
Although Yang Ruoqing is not very old, only twelve years old, she still has some strength in her fat body.
After digging for a while, she dug a pit the size of a footbath. She visually measured the volume of the dirt pit, nodded secretly, turned around and sprinkled some moisture-proof grass and wood ash left over from Uncle Chang Geng's work into the dirt pit, and then put into the dirt pit a stone jar that she had turned out when she helped the Sun family tidy up the miscellaneous house two days ago.
The size is just right, as if it were tailor-made.
She hurriedly went back to her house, put the ten catties of white rice sent by Aunt Dayun, as well as the six eggs and dried wild mushrooms sent by Aunt Osmanthus into the stone jar, and then pressed a wooden board on it, and held a few handfuls of soil to make the wooden board look inconspicuous, and finally, pulled a few bundles of straw and piled them on it.
With this done, she washed her hands, put the shovel back, and went back to her room.
After a while, Sun, who had casually pulled a few mouthfuls of rice, hurried back, carrying two large bowls with upside downs. One bowl is for Yang Ruoqing, and the other is for Yang Huazhong.
In this era, the rice yield was not high, and the heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes were on the heads of the villagers, and even the Li Zheng family, who had the most fields in the village, could not afford to eat a whole bowl of white rice. The rice of every household will be more or less mixed with some wild vegetables, sweet potatoes, miscellaneous grains and so on!
