Shen Yunxi thought for a while: "Although the south is not as cold as the north, it is also very cold in winter. There are several large kangs at home, which can sleep a lot of people. Boys live in one room and one kang, and girls live in one room and one pit. The winter is very warm, no charcoal stove is used. ”

In the north, most people rely on kang for heating in winter.

Zheng Guizhen replied, "Well, you're right. After eating, I went to the village stonemason to help me and asked him to make some flat stones, and let the old people in the village make some kang. ”

She also wanted to put a kang in her room to keep it warm and comfortable at night.

"Then I'll go to Tian Carpenter and make more kang cabinets and kang tables." Shen Yunxi smiled: "By the way, sister-in-law, those children's hair is dirty and messy, and there may be lice on their bodies." The boys shaved their heads, and the girls used the same medicine that they had given to them to kill the lice on their heads. After taking a shower, they directly burn their clothes and change into clean clothes. I bought a lot of clothes in the county and didn't have time to make clothes. I'll just change them out and make the clothes slowly. ”

Zheng Guizhen smiled and said, "Okay, since you came to work for us, you must take care of them."

Neither brother nor daughter-in-law is a procrastinator. After the meal, she went to the carpenter and the stonemason to decide what materials to use. In the village, there are Tian Liuye, who is good at pankang, and ready-made mud bricks. The Tian stonemason's family had already prepared the flat stone slabs, and they took the people directly to the pankang. At that time, when the house was built, a few live bricks were kept, which could be removed as the entrance to the heating kang.

If you give the money, you can buy a slate, customize a kang cabinet, and pay a deposit.

In the afternoon, two large kangs were dished, and after a few days, they were dried. They can be covered with straw mats and reed mats.

When he came to help, Shen Yunxi gave him his wages. She never let anyone do it for nothing.

There were a lot of people in the evening. Shen Yunxi decided to eat noodles tonight. It's easy to cook. After all, cooking for almost 20 people is too hard.

Coming to Xiangrui Village, the swallow opened his eyes wide and carefully observed his surroundings.

Biaozi and Zhuzi have been here once before. They are familiar with each other and are not nervous.

Tian Daniu took Biaozi, Zhuzi and four other boys. The youngest was six years old, but he was thin and short.

The village shaver came.

Tian Da Niu said, "You have lice on your head. There are also lice on the body. Getting sick easily. Hair should be shaved off. ”

Brother Biao was embarrassed. He and Zhuzi had to send spring water to Yanchun Tower every day, and they had to take a bath several times a day, so there were no lice on their bodies. But their younger siblings may not be able to take a bath. They were covered in mud.

However, he did not explain that it did not matter whether they had shaved their hair or not. In short, they don't have parents, so talking about cutting their hair doesn't make them angry.

"Okay, scrape it all off. Either way, the hair can grow back. Brother Biao replied and sat down. Uncle, please cut off my hair and start over from now on. ”

The shaver smiled and said, "Yes, young man. You will do a good job at Mrs. Tian's house, and I will not treat you badly. ”

"Yes, old man." Brother Biao nodded, looking forward to his future life.

After a while, Brother Biao turned into a bald man, took off his clothes, threw himself directly into the brazier, and came to the vat. The water in the tank smelled of herbs, and they began to bathe.

Next are the columns. In short, he will do whatever Brother Biao does.

The children below are not afraid to shave their heads when they see their brothers like this.

After nearly two hours of tossing, these people washed their bodies and changed into new clothes. They don't have lice on them and are clean.

Shen Yunxi came to the courtyard on the other side of the next door.

"Your name is Swallow, isn't it?" Shen Yunxi asked calmly. This little girl is very alert and intelligent. She's a good person to train.

The swallow protects the three younger sisters in the back. "Yes, ma'am, how do you know?"
