415. Joy and mourning

In this place, where the age is generally not high, seventy years old is indeed considered a long life, and it is a joy and mourning.

Thinking of the person who smiled when he saw someone, the kind old man Hua Jin felt very uncomfortable, quickly washed up and ate something, and went to Huabei's grandfather's house non-stop.

Although she was a little girl who couldn't help much in the past, she was still doing her part.

This was busy until the evening, and Hua Jincai came back with her grandmother, mother, and two sisters-in-law.

Where did my father and two brothers stay to help, there is a high probability that they will not come back at night, and they will help keep vigil together.

Hua Laohan's mood was a little low, and as soon as he got home, he sat in the lying room and smoked a cigarette pouch that he hadn't smoked for a long time, and sighed from time to time, which made Hua Jin feel uncomfortable.

"Master, Mrs. Hua is a happy mourning, I didn't suffer any sin when I slept directly at night, let's not be sad!" Hua Jin persuaded softly.

"It's the old man, look at it, people will always have this experience, and the old man really didn't suffer any crimes, the filial piety of his children and grandchildren is the end of his life, think about how many people in this world outside can still live to the end, the old man will not lose in this life, and we will not be able to avoid it in a few years."

Although Mrs. Hua's heart is not comfortable, but after all, it is still separated by a layer, and she does not have the intuitive feeling of the old man, and she is not comfortable looking at the old man uncomfortable.

"Bah, baba, bad spirits, bad spirits, milk is not allowed to say that, you are going to live a long life, and you will continue to look at me in the future" A few babes came out in a row, and Hua Jin said nonchalantly.

"This kid, okay, bah, bah, the milk doesn't talk about it." Being disturbed by his granddaughter like this and the old woman is no longer uncomfortable.

Even the old man is in a much better mood, the old woman and granddaughter are right, everyone has to go through this experience, but there is morning and evening, and the uncle is happy and sad.

"Milk, I'm hungry and want to eat the flat food you made with shepherd's cabbage, I have already put the ingredients in the stove, milk ......"

"Okay, good, milk, go and do" couldn't stand her granddaughter's coquettish kung fu, and the old woman suddenly forgot to call her daughter-in-law, got up and went to the stove room.

"Grandpa, let's go deal with the nitrate." Hua Jin wants to keep his grandfather busy, and he doesn't have time to think about anything else, so he won't be sad.

"Nitrate, yes, yes, I forgot about it" I received the news of my uncle's death early in the morning, and Hua Laohan was busy all day, and only then did he have time to be sad, where could he still remember the nitrate that his son and grandchildren carried back last night.

"This thing still needs to be dealt with in advance?" Hua Laohan thought that he could just use it directly.

"Well, it's very simple, hurry up." Hua Jin urged.

"Okay, let's go" put the cigarette pouch in his hand on the table, and the old man quickly stood up.

At the moment, "nitrate" is also very important.

The spirit of the old man came immediately.

The lights in the courtyard were lit, and the grandfather and grandson appeared under the shed on the west side of the courtyard, and Hua Jin began to teach the grandfather how to disinfect and purify the nitrate.

It is very simple, that is, the nitrate is crushed into powder, then dissolved in water, and then slowly heated, the saltpeter begins to crystallize when the solution is concentrated to a certain extent, and then the crystallization is separated by filtration, and finally it can be filtered and washed with cold water repeatedly and dried.

All you need is a stove, pot, utensils, a stone mill or a stone nest.

There is no shortage of these things, the sheds are ready-made, and the grandfather and grandson have just started to do the little four and came out of the room to join in the fun, and they were caught by no accident and worked as grinders.

Grinding nitrate into powder can be regarded as a hard work, and the little four who keep grinding are resigned to their fate, who let him have a good air-conditioning in the house and not enjoy it.

Besides, he is a young man at home, he doesn't do it, he can't let his grandfather and sister do it, he can't do such a thing.

This mill was milled from before the evening eclipse to after the evening eclipse, and then I helped my sister and grandfather dissolve the nitrate powder into the water together, and finally it was a difficult job, obviously it was already very hot and I had to work part-time as a fire boy.

By the time it was finished, it was already the middle of the night, and the little four who had washed up on the bed immediately fell asleep, and the saltpeter had shrunk from five baskets to more than three baskets, but it was quite a lot.

After being busy for several hours, the old man couldn't remember anything, and finally fell asleep.

The next day, the whole family arrived at the uncle's house early.

Then the funeral on the third day, the whole village came to send, and the older generation chose a good feng shui place to bury the person at the foot of the mountain, and then moved away when he returned to the village.

Now it can only be like this, and it is impossible to bury the Hui tribe at the moment.

By the time I got home, it was already halfway through the morning, and the whole family was not very interested, so when they got home, they went back to their respective rooms to rest.

Especially Hua Chengtian and his two sons, they have been busy for two or three days, and they almost don't close their eyes, and they are very sleepy at the moment.

The meal was directly crossed, and I slept until the next night.

When the spirit was completely up again in the evening, the family poured saltpeter around Huajin together, and even the eldest girl Yunniang and the two did not avoid it.

Needless to say, the next day when the two of them found that the water dissolved by saltpeter last night had turned into ice, they were now dissolving the nitrate in the water with their husbands.

Dozens of large and small wooden basins for dissolving saltpeter are placed in the corner of the room, and the process of making ice is slow, and after the flower brocade demonstration, he waved his sleeves and went back to the room, so that Hua Chengtian, who wanted to know the result quickly, was anxious.

I waited for a day, and the next night, looking at the pots of ice, the old man was indescribably happy, and then he couldn't sit still, and ordered his son and grandson to call over the elders of the clan and the older families in the village at night.

As soon as they stepped into Huaman's house, they were shocked that their big mouths couldn't close for a long time.

The flowers are too cool, and the sweat from the road disappears after entering the hall.

When they came in, they wondered why there were winter curtains in the house on such a hot day, and they were not too bored to panic, but now they finally understood, it turned out that it was here.

"Huaman, these are ......" The old man of the Li clan excitedly pointed to the pots of ice in the room, and he couldn't say anything excited.

At this time, there was still ice, and there were so many, his first feeling was that Hua Man wanted to honor a few of them old guys, so he called them over.

Can...... Not right either.

If you want to be filial, you can't just let Narita and the children in the family send them home, so why call them over.

The old man of the Li clan, who wanted to understand this, looked like an old man with a different gaze immediately, and his cloudy eyes instantly lit up a lot.

"Full of flowers, this is ...... What's going on? How can you get so much ice? "The brave old can't help it.

Several other people also couldn't wait to look at Hua Man, waiting for his explanation.

They didn't think that Hua Man called them over just to see the ice, this old boy must have something.

"That's right, let's say it, it's really a desperate person." Hua Qishan, who was anxious, also urged.
