Sweet Garden Bliss

The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month was officially a holiday. On this day, almost all the bullock carts capable of transporting bricks and tiles in Qiyang County were present. Xiaowu and a few stewards were counting cheerfully while answering the greetings from all households, old and young.

"Could the second boy of my family come to work in the kiln when the spring starts? After working for a year, he can build a new house. My eldest son has shown his face in the village. He is greedy for our high wages and pays us a lot of money. What - the benefits of bricks and tiles...".

Several old men, smoking dry pipes, followed Xiao Wu's ass to make demands.

This moment is what Xiao Wu is most proud of, and the smile on his face becomes more and more decent and humble: "We really want to expand the brick kiln after spring, as long as the children in the family are strong and human, then feel free to sign up, but The family's new house is beautifully built, and our boss likes everyone to live comfortably... ".

The barracks is also unambiguous. A group of idle soldiers are assembling solar energy. The tin box is set up on the roof, and the newly baked glass is also equipped. It’s just that the bamboo pipes can’t help freezing. To defrost.

So all kinds of methods were figured out, and the grass rope and cloth strips were wrapped tightly, and the bamboo pipe was finally safely extended into the bathroom.

Bamboo slices are easy to use as switches, and the soldiers drilled a small hole carefully, and tied a thin rope around the bamboo tube to prevent the tightly fitting bamboo slices from escaping from their posts.

In fact, there is still a very critical problem, that is, the water in the tin box cannot be filled by itself. The soldiers have fixed a wooden ladder by themselves, and plan to pour water into it by the person on duty every day.

Ah Yuan was very worried about this invention.I don't know if this piece of rear glass can withstand the cold outside. After it is filled with water, will it not only fail to receive the temperature of the solar energy, but will freeze into an ice lump instead?

Qi Ziyu carefully stood behind his sister and followed her worryingly. He couldn't say much thoughtful words, but after the big guys dispersed, he quietly climbed up to the roof and stared at the tin box intently.

Later, it was discovered that the skin of the tin box was really covered with ice.The silly boy breathed out the hot air to defrost them, even though his whole body was shivering from the cold.

Fortunately, the sunshine in the afternoon was very face-saving. Later, Qi Ziyu almost fell asleep on the roof, and it was Bai Laosan who couldn't find him everywhere, so he groped up to check.

"Hurry up, go down and run for a few laps to keep warm. I'll do what you need to watch." Bai Laosan's human nature is getting less and less bad, and he often smiles brightly these days.

"Hush——" Qi Ziyu sniffed, rubbed his hands, and explained with a trembling voice: "My sister is always worried that the water inside will freeze into ice lumps. I watched for a long time. It's not frozen, under the glass. Water drops One by one, it's very beautiful... ".

Bai Laosan stretched out his hand to caress the transparent glass: "Ziyu, you don't know, your sister is very powerful and can succeed in anything. Look, this glass is still warm and can't freeze...".

Isn't it?The flat glass surface was warm and warm, Qi Ziyu grinned.Then he slowly moved his feet and climbed down the ladder.

Perhaps the pollution in this era is not serious, and the sunlight is not stingy on the glass.At night, when I tried to put the water down, there was steam in the small bathroom...

Wu Lu stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, it wasn't too hot, but it was enough for men to take a bath, isn't it much better than a cold bath?

"The thing the princess is thinking about is our treasure. Let's put a few more on the roof tomorrow. Don't freeze the treasure tonight. Let's find some more straw mats and sacks to wrap the treasure. Hold on, wait for the sun to come out tomorrow, and then open it for him!"

Wu Lu's arrangement is very satisfactory to everyone. A large iron box is enough for many people to take turns soaking their feet. There are still several iron boxes left behind, so more people can enjoy it tomorrow.

Anyway, the soldiers in the barracks were idle, and the hundred and ten people were divided into several groups to go to the brick kiln factory to do voluntary labor. Before Xiaowu had time to tidy up, the bricks came out of stack after stack...

"Then what - why don't the fire on the kiln continue to light today, and brothers continue to burn a kiln to try?" Xiao Wu can also be counted as a partner with a profiteer, a ready-made good labor It's embarrassing to not do enough.

Burning a kiln just for the vegetables in the greenhouse is too prodigal. Now that the soldiers can take over the jobs of the hired workers, it would be great. Xiaowu is so happy that he can't even go home, and brings a few little stewards who stayed behind Do tutoring work together.

Bai Chengguang and Qi Ziyu had the most fun working, because it was actually their own property. When Ah Yuan rushed over with his maid, all he saw were smiling men running around toiling.

The soldiers are very hardworking, just like what was suggested at the beginning, Bai Chengguang and Wu Lu cultivated wasteland nearby while training soldiers, and planned to sow seeds here after the spring, trying to live a self-sufficient life as a soldier.

Now that he took the initiative to come to the brick kiln factory to help with work, Ah Yuan's heart warmed up, and he called Xiao Wu to tell him: "Buy a few more fat pigs and bring back more meat for the brothers."

Wu Lu's arrangements were in place. Until the sixth day of the first lunar month, before the hired workers came back, the soldiers would come to help. Of course, they work in separate shifts, so it doesn't need to be too tiring.

Solar bathing is very powerful, and the vegetables in the greenhouse grow fresh and juicy. Bing Danzi said that working in a brick kiln factory is more enjoyable than training, and the high temperature beats the heat.

The [-]th night of the twelfth lunar month was New Year's Eve, so everyone gathered in the greenhouse outside the brick kiln, and the crowd sitting together seemed more intimate.

Everyone eats and drinks as they please, and it feels delicious to pick up a handful of tender garlic sprouts. The Princess arranged a gala tonight, and competed in groups to see which group's program is the most popular. The members of the winning group each A person can obtain a piece of glass.

At this time, glass was extremely precious, and the soldiers all shook their arms and used their brains. This era is indeed barren. Folk song singers are rare, storytellers are rare, and cross talk is not to mention. , as long as you dare to come out and say a few witty words, you will be rewarded with earthquake-like applause and encouragement.

Team leader Feng Liqiang was in a hurry. The few subordinates he sent out were in a bad mood, and only Bai Laosan and Qi Ziyu stayed behind. The last bet was placed.

"Chengyao, haven't you ever hummed a song about candied haws? Just sing that, and you're guaranteed to be the first!" The team leader made an idea while pushing the team members forward.

At that time, my sister-in-law had just married into the Bai family. The family processed food every night and sold it the next day. My sister-in-law once taught everyone a song about candied haws. The famous song of the Bai family...

Bai Laosan stood in the middle of the team, and Qi Ziyu was holding his skirt tightly. It was too hot in the greenhouse, and Ziyu's face was covered with sweat.

"It is said that the candied haws are sour, and there is a little sweetness in the sourness, and the candied haws are said to be sweet, but there is a little sour in the sweetness...", the long-lost memory bursts in this song.

It seems that the voices of Bai Lao Er and Cai Lian joined in, Bai Chengguang and A Yuan's voices joined in, the voices of the children joined in, and the voices of the soldiers joined in...

"It is said that the candied haws are sour, and there is a bit of sweetness in the sourness, and it is said that the candied haws are sweet, but there is a bit of sourness in the sweetness..." In the end, these words were repeated repeatedly and reluctantly stopped.

Life is also like candied haws, with sweetness in the sourness and sourness in the sweetness. As long as you experience it with a sincere heart, you will have endless wonderful tastes...

The scene became intensified and heated, Qi Ziyu pushed to the front with a red face, he didn't know anything, only when he was recuperating, the three little nephews often sang a "Lullaby" by his bedside, vaguely, still Can remember the tone.

But don't be afraid, the kids are here to help!

The thin and frail boy held the little hands of the children and sang flickeringly: "Sleep fast, sleep fast, my lovely sweetheart, sleep fast, sleep fast, little treasure is so beautiful...".

It was very noisy and soon it was late at night. Wu Lu cheerfully carried the "little second" to light the firecrackers. The loud noise of "cracking--" will send away all the joys and sorrows of the old year, and will bring Bring good wishes for the new year.

Feng Liqiang delivered the award acceptance speech on behalf of the entire group, and then the ten people embraced their own glass prizes with endless joy. This is the latest high-end product, not to mention crystal clear, and the various styles are also very cute.

Except for the sergeant on duty at night, everyone else should have fallen asleep, but how could the excitement after the party be suppressed?

The chess and chess players who were chatting were all determined to keep vigil on New Year's Eve, and there was a thin figure who stayed alone in the small brick kiln fiddling with quartz sand.

This is Qi Ziyu, begging his sister to give him a chance to touch glass materials, that prize is so cute, he really hopes to make one himself.

In fact, Qi Ayuan's art skills are very good, a few strokes and kneading things are very decent, Qi Ziyu felt that he could also knead the shape, overcame the fear of being alone, and locked himself in the small brick kiln.

A Yuan roughly explained to him how to operate it. The ready-made raw materials are all configured, so Qi Ziyu can do whatever he wants. Finally, this baby dared to make a request, but he dared not refuse!

Qi Ziyu wanted to pinch a long-necked white goose. He had raised it two years ago, and that goose was very close to him. Later, it was sold by his mother...

The quartz sand mixed in the raw material is very gorgeous, Qi Ziyu pinched it carefully again and again, the neck was broken, and again, the claws were broken, pinch it again. (To be continued.
