Chapter 24 How much wood must be burned in this big stove! (Please read and collect)
Before dawn the next day, Xiao Wuyue got up and looked out the window with her little hands. She was afraid that she would oversleep again and not see her brother setting up the fishing net.

"The sun hasn't come out yet!" Xiao Wuyue tilted her little head, squinted her eyes and looked outside through several pieces of glass windows put together, yawned, and got back into bed, blinking her big eyes. Blink, Father Sun, are you lazy today? Why don't you come out yet?
Grandpa, mom, dad, and brother didn’t get up either, they were all so lazy!

I am the most diligent Hoho!
It's so cold in bed, but my brother's bed is still warm...

The little girl crawled into Cao Xingwen's bed, revealed her little head, and smiled.

"Sleep well, it's not dawn yet!" Cao Xingwen yawned, hugged her, and continued to sleep.

Ugh!
The little girl sighed, a big brother and a little brother are both lazy!

Get up and catch fish!
At six-thirty in the morning, the northeastern sun finally lazily jumped out of the horizon, casting down streaks of bluish-white light that shone on people without any warmth at all, making them feel even colder.

On the frozen river, a group of strong men were lining up, shouting slogans and pulling fishing nets out!

"one two Three!"

"It's fishy!"

Accompanied by the sonorous and powerful whistle, the fishing net hidden deep under the ice was dragged out one by one. Finally, with a crash, countless big fish caught in the fishing net jumped out of the water, crackling and jumping everywhere!

A group of half-grown boys and girls swarmed up and hurriedly caught fish.

"There are fewer big ones in today's net!" Captain Cao squatted on the ice, smoking a cigarette, picking up the fish that had been frozen into a layer of ice shell, and said to Sun Jianping.

"Just wait until the Chinese New Year to catch another net. I think we have almost caught the big fish in the river." Sun Jianping expressed his opinion, and everyone nodded, "It's not that bad. I stewed a fish yesterday and I used our family's fish." A small bowl of soybean oil, I really can’t afford to eat anymore.”

"Eating fish is a waste of fuel and food..."

"Eating two meals of fish will drive you crazy. If you can, you won't eat it today!"

Everyone choked, and Captain Cao waved his hand, "What the hell, hurry up and pack up the fish. Separate the small ones and load the big ones. Have you forgotten what you have to do today?"

"You just have a head that gets scolded..."

"You are good-looking, but a toad wears glasses - a fake cultural person!"

"Get out of here if you make any more noise!" Captain Cao got angry and yelled at Xiao Lu and Xu Jinshui who were arguing. Then they stood up angrily and helped everyone stack the fish.

Zhang Ziyi came around, sat next to Lao Cao, pulled off his hat, and steam came out of his messy hair, like a boiling pot.

"Are these fish enough?" he asked Lao Cao in a low voice. Captain Cao frowned, "If these are enough, just these things, you can count as much as you can!"

"I've heard people say that the city's investigation is very strict now. If someone catches us, we will be labeled as speculators..."

"We'll do this later. Get some bundles of corn stalks and put them on top..."

The two top "leaders" of Ermajia Village were chattering and discussing the details of entering the city later. Sun Jianping had already distributed the small fish to the big guys, and the remaining big fish were loaded onto the carriage.

The bay horse's hooves stepped on the ice, making a clicking sound. It bit Sun Jianping's sleeve and pulled it, raised its front hoof, and showed off the newly nailed horseshoes that Old Chengtou had nailed to it yesterday.

Beautiful?
Sun Jianping rubbed the bay horse's big head dumbfounded. Both humans and animals love beauty, and horses are no exception.

After breakfast, Lao Cao still led the team and dispatched eight carriages along the gravel road covered with ice and snow, leaving the village and heading toward the distant Hecheng.

Xiao Wuyue stood at the intersection and waved to everyone.

"Have a nice trip, brother!"

"I know!" Sun Jianping responded to her by picking up his whip and cracking it.

"come back earlier!"

"Well!" Captain Cao's face twitched, "This girl really misses her brother, but why doesn't she miss me as a grandpa!"

"Grandpa, buy me delicious food!" Xiao Wuyue's crisp voice came over, and the old man's face twitched!

Or...don't worry about it!
In the northern scenery, the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles are completely white. On the harvested crops, a few hungry voles are foraging for food in the ridges. Suddenly, a black shadow flashes across the field. The poor little voles are snatched away by a hawk and become their breakfast.

"It's hard for people to live in these days, and it's not easy to catch mice." Captain Cao sat on the carriage and rolled a cigarette. Seeing this scene, he was filled with emotion.

"What else can I do? Just live one day at a time!" Lao Cai struck a match on his head, lit the cigarette butt against the fire, and started smoking.

Sun Jianping was still driving the car. He was wearing a patched cotton coat and a brand-new blue tunic suit that he brought when he went to the countryside. He was born in the city and knew that people in the city today were short-sighted. If you are too shabby, people will not treat you as a human being.

"drive!"

Sun Jianping picked up his whip and cracked it. The bay-red horse barked, spread its hooves, and moved forward.

The horse followed the large carriage driven by Zhang Ziyi at a brisk pace, walking on the ice and snow road made by countless ruts, passing through the boundary of Duerji Commune, passing the Nahe Farm, and passing through Donggangzi and West Gangzi. After digging into Xinglongquan, we finally caught sight of the outline of Crane City in the distance before it got dark.

This is a rising industrial city on the Songnen Plain. There are many large enterprises such as heavy factories, steel plants, machine tool factories, train factories, etc. There are millions of industrial workers working here alone!

Sun Jianping was sitting on the carriage, watching the orange-red sunset rays hitting the huge blast furnace of the steel plant, reflecting brilliant rays of light, and he was a little mesmerized for a moment.

"How much wood does this big stove need to burn in a day?"

Old Cai was also dumbfounded. Sun Jianping smiled and said, "Uncle Cai, what? They are burning coal."

"Then this day will also burn the sea!"

When the rough guys from the mountains saw such a huge thing, they all sighed in admiration and argued that the water boiled by this big stove should be enough for the whole city to take a bath!

Sun Jianping listened to their nonsense with a dark face, picked up his whip and cracked it, urging the bay-red horse to move faster.

Finally arriving at a large cart shop on the outskirts of Hecheng, everyone unloaded the horses. Captain Cao and Sun Jianping took the fodder and soybeans from the cart. Zhang Ziyi fetched warm water from the cart shop, mixed the fodder and fed it to these horses. of horses.

Bay red horse, big black horse, curly horse, green horse...

Sun Jianping checked the physical condition of the horses one by one, lifted their hooves to see if they were hurt by the sharp ice and snow road. The bay-red horse licked the grass, obediently raised its hoof and shook it twice, and continued to move toward him. Showing off new shoes.

"Okay, okay, it looks good!" Sun Jianping patted the horse's neck and praised it. The bay-red horse chirped and flicked its tail, looking very proud.

"Jianping, come in and warm yourself up!" Zhang Ziyi came out with a bowl of steaming tea and handed it to him.

Sun Jianping took it, drank it down in one gulp, raised his head, and finally saw the sign in front of the store clearly with the help of the lantern swinging back and forth at the door of the car shop.

"Yuejin Hotel..."

Although the big car shop has changed its name to a trendy name, it still has a different name. It still follows the path of the original big car shop, with three rows of large tile-roofed buildings in front and back, and two cow and horse sheds against the wall, with many tethered animals. The horses from out of town are munching on fodder.

When the door curtain was opened, the room was filled with hot air. A middle-aged lady, about forty years old, wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket, with her hair combed into a big braid hanging down her head, warmly welcomed everyone into the house for dinner.

"This young man Emma is really good-looking. Is he from your family, Lao Zhang?" This middle-aged woman, who was once the owner of a big car shop and is now a salesperson at "Yuejin Hotel" and was nicknamed "Cui Big Butt", saw it in front of her. The handsome young man's peach blossom eyes suddenly widened, he looked him up and down, and was filled with admiration.

"What are you arguing about? It would be great if I had this son. He is an educated youth from our village who went to the countryside. Sun Jianping, Jianping, his name is Aunt Cui!"

"Hello Aunt Cui!" Sun Jianping also glanced at this woman. Although there were wrinkles on this woman's face, judging from the outline of her eyebrows, she must have been a flower in every village in the world when she was young.

"What are you calling me, aunt? They call me elder sister!" Cui Yufen smiled sweetly, "You must be hungry. The food has been prepared in the cafeteria. Go and eat!"

"No, no, no!" Zhang Ziyi waved his hands repeatedly!
