Chapter 378
Xiao Ningxue planned to build two big kangs, one for men and one for women.
In addition, a square kang table is built in the main room, so that eating, chatting and drinking tea can be done on the kang table, and no matter how much snow falls outside, the inside will not be afraid of the cold.
After some research, she quickly drew a blueprint.
It is not difficult to look at, that is, build a bed out of bricks and cement boards, the bottom is empty, the inside is a fire, and the top sleeps.
However, in order to save firewood, the stove and the stove can be connected together. In this way, when cooking, the kang is also heated up.
Lying down on the kang on a snowy day, the whole body is warm, how comfortable and comfortable it is!
The east wing and the main room are only separated from the stove by one wall, so it is easy to repair, but the west wing needs to build another stove.
In addition, a chimney should be built from the other end of the kang to discharge the waste smoke out of the kang.
Of course, if you want to repair this heated kang, you can’t do it without cement. The middle is empty. If it’s not firm, it won’t collapse?
After the blueprint was finished, Xiao Ningxue took it to find Mrs. Xue. Mrs. Xue was from the north, and planned to show her whether it was reasonable or not.
But what I didn't expect was that Mrs. Xue had no idea what a kang was.
I don't know if the 'heated kang' has not been invented in this era or the rich people like Mrs. Xue's natal family don't need to repair the 'heated kang'.
After all, there is usually only one family like this kind of kang. Men, women and children all sleep on a kang, so the rich naturally don't know how to repair it.
Since Mrs. Xue doesn't understand, then Xiao Ningxue can only cultivate according to her own ideas.
She called some aunts in the village to help and started to work.
Fortunately, the weather is beautiful, the sky has been fine these few days, and the snow has melted.
Everyone is good at doing things, picking bricks and cement and cement. In just five or six days, the fire kang in the east wing and the kang table in the main room were all repaired.
As soon as the fire burned in the kitchen, the kang and the kang table became steaming.
After two days of burning like this, the kang and the kang table are dry and refreshing, and then the bedding is spread and lying on it, not to mention the warmth.
The aunts and ladies in the village ran over one by one, took off their shoes and climbed onto the kang, only to feel that their whole bodies became hot after a while, which was so comfortable that people could not think of it.
"Oh, girl Xue, this heated kang and kang table are really amazing."
"How did you fix it? How much money did you spend, Miss Xue? We want to fix it too."
"That's right, girl Xue, with this hot kang, the elderly and children at home don't have to suffer from the cold. It's really too cold in Su'an County."
The wind in the west is strong, and the cold is even colder than Qiganling. Coupled with the lack of firewood and charcoal, it is really hard for the elderly and infants in the family.
Xiao Ningxue's original intention was to solve this problem for everyone, and immediately asked Xue Ruyun to inform the men on the construction site that they would have ten days off and everyone would go home to repair the kang.
In addition, people were sent to deliver more than a dozen trucks of cement to Niujia Village, a merchant village. Anyone who signed a contract with her when selling cantaloupe would receive a bag of cement, which was enough to repair a kang.
So not long after, the villagers and the other two brother villages, most of the families slept on the warm kang.
This winter, for those who don’t have a heated kang, how many old people and babies can’t make it through?
It's not that they haven't learned how to build it before, but they can't sleep after it's built, and it collapses when it's pressed. It's too solid and not warm. I really don't know how Xiao Ningxue and the others built it!
Of course that's all for later.
Within two days after the kang was repaired, it began to snow heavily. It has been falling for half a month, and the snow is as deep as the thighs.
All work on the construction site has been suspended, and it is unlikely that the pavement will be repaired by the end of the year.
Xiao Ningxue didn't think about these things at all, no matter whether she is a southerner in modern times or ancient times, Xia Xue didn't form a concept in her mind.
It was also at this time that I realized that not only is it snowing in the west, but the snow season is also long, and it is so cold to death.
So many women in the village began to make sheepskin hats covering ears and sheepskin scarves again, and the business was not so good.
This day Xiao Ningxue was very bored in the house, just ran outside to play in the snow, when she saw Xue Ruyun gliding over with a hoe in her mouth with a stick of ice in her mouth.
"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, are you bored? Let's go, let's take you to dig badgers."
Didn't Xiao Zhilan put seven or eight pairs of badgers into the melon field in the previous summer? Then two escaped.These two badgers were also a bit smart, knowing that the melon field was dangerous, so they ran to other places.
Anyway, there are snakes and wild fruits outside, so there is no shortage of food.
But when the snow fell, the wild fruits disappeared, and the snakes hibernated, so they couldn't find food and started to haunt the village again.
"At least [-] or [-], and they are multiplying really fast." Xue Ruyun pointed to the north near the grassland, "There are a lot of ice caves found there, let's bring some firewood to smoke them out.
"Okay." Xiao Ningxue was also in high spirits,
Before the snow fell, Xiao Ruohan and Xiao Ruolian went back to their mother's house and brought back several carts of dry cow dung, and if the clansman lacked firewood, they could supply it.
So it's no problem to spend two bundles of firewood to wipe out these damned disasters in one go.
So Xiao Ningxue picked up the hoe and followed Xue Ruyun away.
They were not the only ones smoking badgers in the snow. There were several groups of people in the village, and thick smoke could be seen everywhere.
From one day to the evening, all the people added up and caught a total of 36 badgers, all of which were plump, oily and shiny.Xiao Ningxue and Xue Ruyun caught three, and Xiao Ningxue had a lot of family members, so they took two back.
That night, they were skinned and boned, braised in soy sauce, and they were delicious.
During the day I had fun, but at night I was extremely worried about Wu Chongwen, and I didn't know if he was safe or not, and what was going on.
There was no letter, and it was rare for a letter to come when it snowed heavily.
But no matter how difficult the days are, it has entered the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.
When it comes to the twelfth lunar month, it will be busy, buying new year's goods, buying new clothes, posting couplets, and being busy until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.
The Chinese New Year was coming up the next day, and Ah Wen hadn't come back yet, so Xiao Ningxue was also very anxious. Every day, she took the binoculars to find a high place and looked towards the northeast.
The sun has been out for several days in a row, and the snow has melted a lot. Now the snow is only as deep as the calf. Riding a horse will definitely not be a problem. Ah Wen should be able to come back for the New Year, right?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw several fast horses galloping towards her from the horizon, and the one running in the front was her husband, Wu Chongwen.
"Ah Wen, Ah Wen is back." Xiao Ningxue was so excited that she hurriedly put away the binoculars and ran to meet her there.
As soon as Xiao Ningxue crossed the river, Wu Chongwen galloped over on horseback.
"Xiaoxue, I'm back." Seeing Xiao Ningxue, Wu Chongwen jumped off the horse, and tightly embraced the woman with a red nose from the cold.
After a few months of parting, all the thoughts melted in a lingering long kiss.After that, the two led the horses and walked back to the village through the broken snow.
Xiao Wenzhao and Mrs. Xiao Shan and Mrs. Xiao had already been waiting at the door of the house, and welcomed Wu Chongwen and the others into the house with a smile on their faces.
"Is it freezing on the road? Get on the kang first." Xiao Wenzhao got on the kang cross-legged as he spoke. We are all a family, and there are not so many rules.
"Okay, Uncle." Wu Chongwen responded, and took off his boots and got on the kang. As soon as he sat down, he felt that it was warm, and he couldn't help praising, "This kang is really perfect. Who came up with the idea?"
"Hey~ Who else could it be? Xue girl." Xiao Wenzhao replied with a smile on his face. "Xiaoxue is smart." Wu Chongwen looked at his wife with praise.
Xiao Ningxue was praised and left the room laughing.
The men had business to talk about, so it was naturally inconvenient for her to stay inside, although she also wanted to know whether the emperor had granted Suzhou to Ah Wen as a fief.
So while playing in the snow outside, he pointed his ears to listen to the movement inside the house.
He couldn't hear the words clearly, but Xiao Wenzhao's laughter came from time to time.
Since Uncle is smiling so freely, then Ah Wen's business is definitely settled.
After a while, Xiao Yan and Xiao Han came out of the house with a smile on his face, planning to go to the newly built sheep pen to fetch sheep.
"Is there any happy event to celebrate? First cousin, second cousin?" Xiao Ningxue chased after her.
"Haha, of course, you can just ask your brother-in-law tonight." Xiao Yan and Xiao Han replied with a smile. He didn't have time to talk to her, and went to boil water to kill sheep.
Xiao Ningxue was also very happy, since she was going to kill a sheep to celebrate, so why ask?
So another three or four tables were set up at night, and the village head and patriarch were invited, and it was a lively affair.
Xiao Wenzhao was so drunk that he was helped to bed. He had never drunk so much since his retreat to the north.
After the banquet, everyone washed up and went to bed to rest.
Wu Chongwen is the King of the Night after all, it is impossible to sleep with everyone on the kang, so he sleeps in the main room with Xiao Ningxue.
Xiao Ningxue took the graphene self-heating and warming mattress out of the portable space, covered it with a duvet, and pressed a wool blanket on it, which was warmer than sleeping on a kang.
Xiao Ningxue nestled in Wu Chongwen's generous arms, listening to him talk about his trip to Beijing.When Wu Chongwen entered Beijing this time, he encountered two waves of interceptions, but they were all saved.
After entering the palace, it took some effort to get the imperial decree granting him Su'an County as a fief and the appointment document appointing Xiao Wenzhao as Cangzhou Governor from the hands of the emperor.
When he came back, he was intercepted three times. Without Xiao Ningxue's body armor and machine gun, he and the three hidden guards might not be able to come back.
Of course, Wu Chongwen concealed the content of being intercepted by the killer, and only told Xiao Ningxue about the imperial decree and appointment documents calmly.
But Xiao Ningxue could have guessed it even if he didn't mention it, the bullets were all gone, so it's self-evident how dangerous this trip was.
"Xiaoxue, we have a family now." Wu Chongwen pressed his chin against Xiao Ningxue's forehead, and said in a moving tone, "Su'an, Ningzhou, all belong to my Night King, and I can finally marry you."
Xiao Ningxue was also quite excited, "Then choose an auspicious day in the next year, and we will get married!"
Wu Chongwen was a little ashamed and said, "The mansion hasn't been built yet, I'm afraid you will be wronged. Why don't you wait for the mansion to be built, and marry you with red makeup?"
Xiao Ningxue shook her head.
"What kind of red makeup, what are you doing with those vain people? Why don't you save it to buy food and grass? A strong army is worse than nothing?"
"Don't build the mansion first. If you have that money, it's better to expand the army. Otherwise, if the ancient Shu Kingdom is destroyed, no one will live in the mansion built with all the effort."
Wu Chongwen pinched Xiao Ningxue's pink cheek lovingly, and nodded silently.
