Back at the Zhiqing Point, Jiang Lili looked at him and smiled, "Did you get the certificate?" ”

Chen Fan proudly took it out and showed it to her, "Dangdangdang, just behind the Zhiqing Point, Captain Yang said that when I choose a good position, he will come over to hit the boundary monument." ”

Jiang Lili took it with both hands, her face full of smiles, "It's so good." ”

settled down and divided the land, and is still the coordinator of the brigade department, from today on, Chen Fan will be a real member of Lujiawan.

After looking at it for a while, Jiang Lili's eyes were a little complicated.

Chen Fan has taken root, but where is his tomorrow?

Chen Fan saw that she was in a daze, so he coughed dryly and smiled at her, "You help me put the certificate in the cabinet, and I'll go to the back to burn some charcoal." ”

Jiang Lili came back to her senses, "Huh? Burning charcoal? ”

Chen Fan nodded and said with a smile, "That pit kiln has not been used after digging, anyway, the clay blank will have to wait a few days before it can be glazed, just try to burn some charcoal, whether it is successful or not, it will be regarded as removing moisture from the soil pit." ”

Jiang Lili didn't understand this, so she nodded, "Oh, then how long will it take you, will I bring you food later?" ”

Chen Fan shook his head, "It should be soon, everything is ready-made, I'll just come back and eat it when I'm done." ”

Then he went to the tool room to get a shovel and a wood knife, and then walked to the backyard.

The old rules, over the wall.

If it weren't for the fact that there were other educated youths here, he really wanted to open a back door directly.

When he got to the back, the foal saw him and jumped around excitedly, "Hey, hey, hey".

Chen Fan opened the wooden gate and went in, hugged it and played for a while, and then touched the two little lambs before starting to work.

I first carried two bundles of straw and threw them outside the wall, and then climbed the ladder over the wall.

Check the dried miscellaneous firewood, compared to when you first cut it, it has dried up a lot, and it is estimated that it will be dried in two more days.

For convenience, the pit dug was not far from here, so Chen Fan first carried two bundles of straw over and then transported firewood over and over again.

Then the preparation for charcoal burning begins.

A layer of straw was laid at the bottom of the pit, and firewood was spread horizontally and in an orderly manner, almost filling the pit. Lay another layer of straw, press a layer of clay, but leave a gap around the edges, and then continue to spread firewood and straw, and finally wrap the whole pit with clay, jump on it and step on it tightly.

After that, an air intake hole was dug at the bottom, and an exhaust hole was poked out with a wooden stick at the top of the opposite side.

Then there is the ignition of the kiln.

This kind of simple process can be called simple and rude, which makes Chen Fan very doubtful that he can really burn charcoal.

After the fire was lit, he didn't care, clapped his hands and went back to eat.

Jiang Lili saw him come back, and hurriedly set up the dishes and chopsticks to serve the rice, "Is it okay so soon?" ”

Chen Fan sat down and picked up the bowl to eat, shook his head and said, "Not yet, I'll go over later, plug the exhaust hole when the smoke is the bigest, and seal the air intake hole a little smaller."

Wait until tomorrow morning to seal the air inlet hole, fill the kiln with water from the exhaust hole, and wait two days before the kiln can be opened. ”

Jiang Lili looked at him, "That's okay?" ”

Chen Fan smiled, "Anyway, that's what the book says, I don't know if it's okay, so I'll give it a try." ”

Seeing his indifferent face, Jiang Lili couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

It seems that all difficulties are not worth mentioning in his eyes, what kind of things will make him pay attention?

Chen Fan inadvertently raised his head, and when he saw her appearance, he couldn't help but smile, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Lili came back to her senses and quickly lowered her head, "No, nothing." ”

Chen Fan blinked, didn't take it seriously, and continued to eat.

After finishing the meal quickly, he ran to the back to stare at the charcoal-burning pit kiln, until the smoke became bigger and bigger, and then pinched a piece of mud to seal the air outlet, and blocked the air inlet a little, leaving only a large opening in the bowl, and went back to wash and sleep.

……

The next morning, Chen Fan continued to fish when he went to work, first went to learn calligraphy from Lu Siye for an hour, and then went to Captain Xiao's house, made him a big pot of Northeast pig-killing dishes, and drank five meat and six vegetables with Master Zhu, who came to take charge of the knife in person.

If you drink like this, it's not easy to practice, otherwise who is it if you run headlong into the ditch?

Chen Fan borrowed a horse from Zhang Wenliang and rode back to Zhiqing Point slowly.

He didn't mean to go back at this time.

Originally, he was going to go to Team 10 to buy sugar, but the syrup needed something to pack, so he had to go back to get the clay pot first.

The buffalo milk I bought last time happened to run out, so it's just right to use that clay pot to put syrup.

If you run into those few educated youths who have never met, it can only be said to be a coincidence.

When he returned to the Zhiqing Point, he turned over and dismounted, tied the horse to the cedar tree outside, turned around and entered the yard.

In the courtyard, Jiang Lili was wiping the doors and windows, and when she saw him coming back, she immediately smiled, "You're back." ”

Chen Fan looked at her, "Ah, what about cleaning?" ”

Glancing at the courtyard, no one else was there, what about those educated youth?

Jiang Lili said with a smile, "That's right, today is a small year, and you need to remove dust." ”

Chen Fan turned his head to look at her and blinked, "Is there anything else to pay attention to in the New Year?" ”

Decades later, not to mention the small year, even the big Chinese New Year's Eve, there seems to be nothing special, at that time many people did not even go back to the reunion on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was also to go to the hotel to eat.

If you have to say that there are any customs, it may be "Spring Festival Gala". It means just putting it away, not looking at it and saying another thing.

Jiang Lili came over and said with a smile, "Of course, the New Year is particular, the first is to clean the whole house, and I used to worship the king of the stove, but this is not needed now, and there is also eating rice balls, which means reunion, eating sugar cane, representing 'festival high'." People who have the conditions will also make new clothes on this day and wear them during the New Year. ”

After Chen Fan heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and let out an "oh".

Cleaning, eating glutinous rice balls, eating sugar cane, wearing new clothes?

No wonder there is no New Year's flavor in later generations, every day is the New Year, where does the New Year's flavor come from?

Chen Fan was about to speak, when he suddenly burped.

Jiang Lili looked at it, and quickly pointed to his room and said, "I have finished cleaning your room, you go and sit down first, and I will pour you a cup of hot water." ”

Chen Fan went back to the room and sat down, took a sip of the tea she poured, and said with a smile, "You also cleaned my room?" Thank you. ”

Jiang Lili smiled, "It's just easy, we're friends, no thanks." ”

Then he pointed outside, "You take a rest first, and I'll go wipe other rooms." ”

"Wait."

Chen Fan stopped her, looked at her and asked, "Did you kill the New Year pig in the morning?" ”

Jiang Lili nodded vigorously, and said with excitement on her face, "This year, three pigs killed more than 400 catties of meat, plus the pigs in the water, each person can share more than one catty, Captain Yang gave me a pound and a half of meat, and there are no pigs in the water at all." ”

After a pause, he lowered his head again, and said with a red face, "The captain said that you only have bacon and no fresh meat, so you gave me a little more." I didn't want it, everyone told me to take it, and I got it back. ”

It means that because of Chen Fan, he took care of her a little. And the members of the club will not be embarrassed by Chen Fan because of these taels of meat.

Chen Fan smiled and nodded, indicating that he remembered it in his heart.

Then he asked, "What about those educated youths?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lili raised her head, and the smile on her face was even bigger, "They only sent a representative over, took the meat and left, and they didn't even come here." And he said that all of them found the receiving unit, and it won't be next year. ”

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment.

But coming?

Won't you really be a lonely man and a widow from now on?
