Chapter 222: The Road

You don't have to count to know that the task of 10,000 packs of explosives will definitely be completed.

The elderly mother-in-law bandaged the dynamite bag even faster than the young woman.

Lu urged them to check the results of their work after they got off work, and then left with confidence.

Gunpowder is a big deal, and he does it himself, and he doesn't pretend to do it easily.

Ning Qingxi's workshop on duty is still some distance from where their family lives, and there are usually a lot of people on the road when she goes to work, so she can partner with others without worrying about what will happen.

It's probably about the same when I'm off work, after all, a lot of people live on their street.

But today, thanks to the mother-in-law and their son-in-law, they went together, so everyone chose to come back together.

On the road, I was still excitedly discussing today's events.

"That workshop is so big, I only dare to look at it." Mrs. Ding's eldest son, Ning Miao, was in charge of grinding flour, and he was still full of energy all day.

"Yes, I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to work in this kind of place, and I don't feel tired, it's far worse than when we were in the mountains before, but the food is not good."

"I thought they would be so good when they ate it, and the feeling of what we ate at noon was similar to what we used to eat in the village."

"That's still a difference, at least we didn't have that many steamed buns to eat back then."

In the end, it was Ning Qingxi's fellow villagers, Chang Yuan still gave them some preferential treatment, not only providing the same meals as the craftsmen, but also providing a lot of steamed buns.

But there are only men who do heavy work, and there are no women.

"Let's work here for a month, not only save lunch, but also earn two or three hundred yuan, and this work is not tiring, although there are more rules, but as long as we don't look at it and talk nonsense, it's actually nothing. It's a pity. ”

Everyone originally thought that this work was very good, but it was a pity to only work for a month, and it was a pity after experiencing it for a day today, because this work is really not tiring, at least it is much more comfortable than farming and digging mountains! The important thing is that there are still a lot of copper coins given.

"Xixi is really capable, I think those men have been trained by our Xixi so that they don't dare to raise their heads." Lai Pozi praised.

They generally don't come out except for solving some personal physiological problems, and everyone cherishes this job.

But in the end, they can still glimpse Ning Qingxi's posture among the craftsmen a few times, they looked at those craftsmen, bent down and nodded at the little girl one by one, their faces were full of respect and admiration, and they themselves had indescribable pride in their hearts.

"Yes, I see that Master Lu has a straight face all day long, I look at it and panic, when I talk to our Xixi, it is like a different person."

"Hahaha, isn't it?"

Their group was too large in number, and they frequently attracted everyone's attention on the road.

A group of people talked and laughed and went home.

When Ning Qingxi arrived home, there was only one Li Dafeng with the children.

Li Dafeng's body can almost get up and do something.

Wang Xiujuan went to take her apprentice to teach suturing techniques, but Ning Changrong was not yet on duty.

Ning Qingxi felt that the house was a little empty, and he was quite unaccustomed to it.

It's so cold outside that it's already snowing.

In the end, the people found someone to build the kang themselves, and they burned it directly and used it, and they didn't have to build it again.

Ning Qingxi was writing and drawing in the room, and when the time was almost up, he came to the kitchen and wanted to help Li Dafeng.

After coming out of his room, he felt that the weather was cold outside, and he trotted to the big kitchen and found that Fang Chunmei, Ning Laosan, and Li Dafeng were already busy.

"Sissy? Are you hungry? Wait, this meal will be ready soon. Fang Chunmei looked at Ning Qingxi, who suddenly came in, and said.

Ning Qingxi shook his head and found a small stool to sit down.

"It's not that I'm not hungry, I'm here to see if there's anything I can help with."

Li Dafeng's hearty laughter sounded in the kitchen: "It's nothing, can you still help with this little work?" Xixi, you go and get busy, you really don't need to, wait a little longer, wait for your milk and they to come back and you can eat. If you're hungry, you'll cook a few breads later, and you'll eat them first. ”

"No need. Auntie, uncle, you're busy. Ning Qingxi looked around, and really went out without a place where he could intervene and help, and didn't make trouble for them here.

After a while, Wang Xiujuan's voice was remembered outside.

"It's starting to snow outside, you have to remember to shovel, otherwise the road will not be easy." Although the road in this county is a bluestone slab, it is covered with snow, and if you are not careful, you will slip and fall.

Ning Lao Er listened to the sound outside, put down the child, and came out to greet him.

"Mother! Fast into the house. He took the cloth from his hand to the two of them and swept the snow off his body.

Wang Xiujuan patted the snow on her body, shook her feet, and felt that her frozen limbs had eased up when she entered the house.

Ning Qingxi brought a cup of ginger soup over at the right time, which was specially cooked by Li Dafeng.

"Milk, this is the ginger soup cooked by my third aunt, you can drink some to drive away the cold."

Wang Xiujuan took it and drank it slowly, and then she felt that her body was a lot warmer.

"It's so cold out there. It's starting to snow lightly in the past few days, and the snow will be heavier in a few days, and it's even more inconvenient for you to go out. ”

Wang Xiujuan and Ning Changrong are both adults, and the distance between the two of them to go to the place where they go on an errand is different from Ning Qingxi, Ning Qingxi's workshop is noisy, and for the sake of secrecy, it is also farther away from the city, when it snows, those muddy roads outside that are not paved with bluestone slabs are even more difficult to walk.

"It's okay, I've thought about it, it's better to walk in the snow, I'll take a sled!"

Wang Xiujuan was stunned, "What's it?" Where did the sledding come from? ”

Ning Qingxi smiled, she had just come back to write and draw in her room, just thinking about the sled.

"The sleigh is not difficult to make, the workshop is there, I asked someone to help me polish it, and I can make it in half a day."

"As for the sledding things, I've already found it, just buy a dog, didn't the hunting dog in Uncle Shui Qiang's house give birth to a few cubs at that time? It's quite big now, I'll just go and pick one up with Uncle Shui Qiang to pull the sled! It's easier than walking! ”

Wang Xiujuan was a little worried, "Are you good at this thing?" Will the dog listen to you like that? Otherwise, I'll let your father carry you to the workshop, and then I'll go back on an errand when he does. ”

Ning Lao Er and Ning Lao San would follow Ning Qingxi to the workshop every day, but after all, they were just uncles, and Ning Qingxi was not easy to get along with them so closely.

Wang Xiujuan proposed to let Ning Changrong carry it.

As for pulling the ox cart with black dots, it is even more difficult to use, and the wheel of the cart will directly sink into the snow and cannot walk.

Ning Qingxi refused, "Milk, my father is also very busy, he still has a bunch of things to do every day, he won't bother him before the account book is finished, and I went off earlier than him, can't he come to pick me up late and leave early every day, right?" I'm not really a child, so don't worry. I'll use it when I'm ready to show you, and I will use it when you think it's okay. So you're relieved, right? ”
