Chapter 26: Cold Sweat

"Milk, I see that this kang will be put in a cabinet when I see other people's TV, let's make a whole one, this is convenient to put things."

Wang Xiujuan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and barely cheered up, "Okay." Go back and ask your dad to find a carpenter in the village to fight one. ”

"Where's the bed? We don't need this bed now, where can we move it out and put it? ”

"Tear it down and put it in the utility room at the back. See what you can do in the future. ”

At night, the Ning family slept on the warm kang.

"Changgui, this thing is really good! I really don't feel cold at all when I sleep! What do you think big brother thinks about this brain? This good thing can be imagined, aren't you brothers with him? Why don't you know anything? Li Dafeng was pleasantly surprised to touch the spacious and warm kang after laying the sheets.

"If I want to have a big brother's brain, then I'm not a big brother, right?" Ning Laosan's eyelids were fighting, and he usually lay in bed and shivered for hours without being cold before he could fall asleep? As soon as he lay down today, the temperature made him drowsy.

"Alas, you said that the eldest brother took you out to make a kang for others, how much money can you make?"

Ning Laosan yawned sleepily, "How do I know this, just listen to what the eldest brother says." ”

After touching the kang for a long time, Li Dafeng suddenly remembered something, his father's legs and feet were not good, and it hurt even more in winter.

"Changgui, can you give my mother-in-law a plate if you have time?"

"Okay, no problem. Say no more, go to sleep. After speaking, Ning Changgui's snoring sounded in the room.

……

Since most of the families in the village have set up ondols, the consumption of firewood in the village has increased greatly. Many people went back to the mountains to collect firewood.

Those who don't know how to do it ask Ning Changrong for help, Ning Changrong naturally won't refuse, they are all from the same village, and Ning Changrong didn't make any money.

He wrote down all the people who wanted to make a fire kang, and then organized the fire kang team into several groups and sent them out separately, and in less than half a month, every family slept on the fire kang.

Ning Changrong didn't take any money this time, they were all from the village, and they were just hard-earned expenses. He didn't contribute much, and all the money he earned was divided among them according to their contributions. Not much, he won't take advantage of it.

Although there are fewer people going out in winter, there are also people visiting the door, and the matter of the fire kang in Yuan Village has spread all over the surrounding villages and villages in less than three days, and orders for the fire kang have come one after another.

Ning Changrong was in charge of leading the team, and he was so busy that he forgot to pick up the cabinet that the carpenter ordered for her daughter.

In the end, Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi carried it back together. Fortunately, the cabinet is not heavy, and the two of them should exercise.

Firewood is not enough after the fire resistance, the ones hoarded in the winter are consumed very quickly, Ning Changrong's family is fine, there is a pile of inexhaustible firewood sent by the villagers before, this winter is not to worry. Otherwise, maybe Ning Qingxi would have to go up the mountain to collect firewood. But Wang Xiujuan and Ning Changrong will definitely not let her go.

"My dad has been really busy lately, and it's been too hard." Ning Qingxi sat cross-legged on the kang, his hand supporting the small table in the middle that came with the cabinet.

"There are only those people in the surrounding villages who can afford the kang, and what our village collects is personal affection fees, and it is definitely not this price outside, and there are not many people who can afford to pay for it."

"It is estimated that the surrounding area has been finished in the past few days, and I have to go far, it will definitely be busier, and there are many people waiting in line in that county."

"It's a simple thing to make a kang, a skilled mason, people can learn it at a glance, if your father doesn't hurry up and grab these businesses, maybe how many people will learn to follow and grab business."

Wang Xiujuan is sewing panties on her hands. Ning Qingxi can't get used to wearing dirty pants here, the family was unconditional before, after making money, Ning Changrong bought a lot of soft cloth back, and Wang Xiujuan will not be wronged by her granddaughter if she has the conditions, and she is also hygienic.

"Okay. By the way, my dad said this morning that he was going to give me the lead sheep back, and we can make a shabu mutton to eat tomorrow! ”

"That's good! The milk gives you a whole fragrance, and it definitely doesn't smell good. ”

……

Ning Changrong had long wanted to buy mutton for Ning Qingxi, but he didn't expect this meat to be so difficult to buy, either too old or too thin, so he finally bought one when he was around to make a fire kang for people.

After making the kang for the master's house, Ning Changrong went to the agreed family to bring the sheep out and prepare to go out of the city and go home.

As they were walking, a group of people in Xiayuan Village suddenly stopped, and there were several officials on the street in front of them escorting a group of people in long robes.

"Let's go! Hurry up for me! The officials hated that the people in front of them were walking too slowly, and pushed and shoved them forward.

The middle-aged man in the thin robe was pushed and kicked again, and hurriedly got up and walked towards the team. Ning Changrong frowned and looked at the scene in front of him.

Suddenly, I noticed an acquaintance in the crowd.

"Zhao catches quickly." Ning Changrong waved his hand and said hello.

After Zhao Zhukuai saw it, he asked the prisoner he was holding to help greet him. Broke away from the team and walked in front of Ning Changrong. The people of Xiayuan Village saw that Ning Changrong was so bold and dared to greet the poor master, and after the people walked towards them, they thought they were coming to look for trouble, and they were forbidden to greet each other.

Zhao Zhuai looked at a group of them and asked, "Brother Evergreen?" Why are you here? ”

"Isn't this a small business? Bring the people of the village to make a kang for people. ”

"You made the ondol?!" Zhao Zhukuai was a little surprised, he heard the owners of those shops talk about it a few days ago, and he was still thinking about when to find someone to go to his house and make one.

"Hey, it's just fooling."

"When are you free? Give me one too, right? I'm worried that I can't find anyone. ”

"No problem, Zhao Zhu is about to speak. When is it convenient for your home? It's too late today, we have to rush back to the village, I'll go to your house tomorrow, do you think it's okay? ”

Zhao Zhu saw that Ning Changrong agreed happily, and was a little closer to him, and told Ning Changrong the address of his home, "Okay, it's righteous enough." Tomorrow you can come to this place, my mother will greet you at home, and the money will not be less for you. ”

"Okay. I'll clean up your home every day. "He didn't say anything about not using money, this work is not his own.

Ning Changrong saw that Zhao Zhu was about to leave, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhao, I don't know what these people have done?" ”

Zhao Zhukuai pointed at the group of people, "You don't know yet, these are all storytellers, the county has ordered that you are not allowed to tell your story again, these people don't listen to persuasion, and secretly tell stories behind their backs, so they will be arrested." ”

"What?! What's going on? Why don't you let me say it? ”

Zhao Zhu looked around mysteriously, leaned close to Ning Changrong's ear and whispered:

"I heard that it was the imperial court that suffered a defeat in the north, and the rebel general Chang in the north liked this book very much. Therefore, the imperial court ordered that it should not be disseminated. I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, I won't let you say it. It's good that you retired early, otherwise I'm afraid you would have been implicated. "The Tianlong Babu that Ning Changrong talked about has long been printed by some booksellers and sold to all directions, and naturally some people are sold to the north. Of course, the money people sell has nothing to do with him.
