Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 4863
Yang Huazhong braved the wind and snow to return home, the main room was as warm as spring.

In addition to the warm barrels you can sit in, there are several charcoal fire pots in the house.

The charcoal in these charcoal fire basins is the smokeless charcoal specially bought in the county when it was just entering the twelfth lunar month years ago.

The price of a catty of smokeless charcoal is more expensive than a catty of pork, and only those rich and big families can afford to burn it in cities and towns, and not everyone in the family can burn it, it depends on the status and weight of the family .

However, Yang Huazhong's family began to burn this kind of charcoal many years ago in winter. The reason is that their children are promising.

"Send it to the fourth one? How are they doing there?" Mrs. Sun came over, holding a feather duster in his hand, helping Yang Huazhong to shake the snowflakes off his shoulders, and asked.

Yang Huazhong then truthfully told the situation there.

"Did you fall? Hey, I see that Xiaojuan's body is also weak. She must have never done physical work before." Sun said.

Yang Huazhong said: "Before I came back with the fourth child, she was the maidservant in Yuncheng, the kind who gave birth to a family."

Xiaohua, who was holding Feng'er in the warm bucket to keep warm, couldn't help but said: "When I was in the capital, I saw the maids of those rich families. Putting the wearability on the outside, even the young ladies from the townspeople's family may not be able to match it."

"Dad and mother, do you still remember Xiaohuan?"

"Xiaohuan? Is that Zhou Wang's daughter-in-law?" Sun asked.

Xiao Hua nodded.

"Xiaohuan was brought back from the capital by Zhou Xia. Xiaohuan is the son of the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion in the capital. Have you seen the upbringing of the maids who came out of the palace? Back then when I walked with Zhou Xia, it wasn't nice to say , Xiaohuan's temperament is ten blocks away from Zhou Xia's, but Zhou Xia's appearance is better than Xiaohuan's, and she can pretend to be weak, and deliberately suppress Xiaohuan, so Zhou Xia has become the focus everywhere, and Xiaohuan has become a foil."

"At that time, Xiaohuan was learning needlework with Sister Ping'er at her sister's house. We all learned together. Xiaohuan's finger stretched out, tsk tsk, it really looked like scallion white, but now it has changed, raising chickens and ducks, With her two sons, Xiaohuan has already become a country woman through and through, but this is also very good, at least she lives a solid life and has hope."

No matter how good the life in the mansion is, it is a servant after all. A servant is not considered a person, but an item, the kind that the master can buy and sell freely.

Xiaohua is glad that she didn't fall into that kind of situation. God favored her to meet such good adoptive parents and marry the number one scholar.

"So Auntie Xiaojuan must be in a hurry to take care of her family's children and girl He, otherwise how could she break her waist if she fell in the snow?"

Xiaohua said again, the snow is not like the ice, the snow is soft, and it doesn't hurt too much if you fall on it, it must have been twisted before, and now you fall again, yes, it touches.

Yang Huazhong said: "When I was there, she came out to have a face-to-face meeting. I took a look at her and she looked very bad."

"It's also cold in that room. Although we helped repair it some time ago, the room will not leak air, but it is cold, and the corners are cold."

"The charcoal fire basin they produced, the charcoal in it is all low-quality charcoal heads, it's just that it can't be burned, and the room is full of smoke, it's always choking my nose, I can't sit there for a while, my eyes Difficult," he said.

Sun looked at Yang Huazhong's eyes and said: "No wonder I saw your eyes were red when you first entered the room, and thought you were doing something wrong, so it was smoked."

"You've been smoking like this for a while, and the third girl and the others don't know what to do. It's really not going to work. Let's send them some charcoal!"

Yang Huazhong pondered for a while, then nodded: "How many kinds of charcoal does our family have?"

Sun said: "There are two types, one is smokeless carbon, and the other has a little smoke, but it is very burnable."

Yang Huazhong said: "Let's weigh both of them a bit, and weigh more of the heat-resistant one."

Burning charcoal is burning money, and smokeless charcoal is too expensive, and sometimes Yang Huazhong feels distressed when burning it at home, unless the children are around, he only burns it, and if the children are not around, he will just pick up the kind that has a little smoke.

……

"Father, the charcoal is about to burn out, what should I do?"

Yang Huaming was cooking venison for the children in the kitchen when he suddenly heard Sanya's voice.

He hurried to the main room, and saw the third girl squatting beside the charcoal fire basin, holding an empty bag with the bottom in her hand, and bits and pieces of charcoal ash scattered at her feet.

"Why did it disappear so quickly? Didn't it say that there were still two catties when the fire was lit last night?" Yang Huaming was surprised, took the bag from the third girl's hand and turned it over to look for it.

The third girl said: "The two younger brothers woke up from the cold in the middle of the night last night, so Aunt Xiaojuan took charcoal and burned it to warm the house!"

"During the snowball fight just now, Tie Dan got his shoes wet, and now he can't dry them. There are also two pairs of shoes that are also damp. I sent him to wait on the bed, and he is still barefoot. What can I do? father?"

Yang Huaming didn't know what to do!
He looked at the snow outside. It seemed that the snow would not stop for three days and three nights. Go to the town to buy it?
Not to mention the difficulty of traveling for dozens of miles, even when I finally arrived in the town, the shops are probably not open.

If it doesn't work, go to the entrance of the village to borrow some money from the third brother and the third sister-in-law?

"Third girl, don't be in a hurry, dad, come and think of a way, so, first take Tie Dan's shoes to the stove to dry..."

Sanyatou has always been a quiet and obedient girl, so when Mrs. Liu gave birth to a child, she ignored it. At first, Juer took care of Sanyatou, and when she was a little older, Mrs. Liu didn't care when she gave birth to Kang boy, so Sanyato took care of Kang boy. .

Including now, she is taking care of her half-brother Tie Dan.

Although she is not close to Xiaojuan, she still likes Tie Dan.

Hearing Yang Huaming's order, the third girl hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen. Just as she left the door, she suddenly shouted in surprise: "Uncle San!"

"Is your father in the house?" Yang Huazhong came from outside the door asking Sanya.

Without waiting for the third girl to respond, Yang Huaming in the room hurriedly got up and responded loudly: "Third brother, I am here, in the room!"

"Three catties of smokeless charcoal, and six catties of less charcoal, you guys use it first."

Yang Huazhong threw a cloth bag into Yang Huaming's hands, "In there, your third sister-in-law also wrapped two pairs of dog skin plasters in oiled paper bags, and asked you to put them on Xiaojuan. When they are delivered, you can continue to work, I'll go first!"

Yang Huazhong's figure quickly disappeared.

Yang Huaming held the charcoal in both hands, his eyes were red.

"Father, what's the matter with you? Why do you look like you're crying?" The third girl asked curiously.

Yang Huaming hugged the cloth bag containing charcoal tightly in his arms and murmured: "Your father, I really want to cry, third girl, when you get married in the future, you don't have to be filial to me, my dear father, but remember to repay you three times." The kindness of Uncle Sanma, what do you mean by sending charcoal in the middle of nowhere? This is it!"
