Reborn Farmhouse: Planting Fields, Flirting with People

Chapter 152

At this time, the Li family's old house was full of chaos and excitement.

After lunch, Mrs. Li gathered everyone in the main room and reprimanded them all afternoon, but no one went to the backyard to look.

The small convex lens on the roof of the thatched hut has been irradiated by the sun. About an hour after Li Mingyue left, the small piece of straw under the focal point was finally ignited. At the beginning, the fire was very small, only a little spark, and then It was early spring, the straw was slightly damp, and the fire spread very slowly, and no one noticed.
Until sparks start a prairie fire, the thatch on the entire roof instantly ignited, and then the beams, earthen walls, and cotton-padded quilts in the house... It seemed that it happened in an instant, and the fire engulfed the hut in an instant...

Everyone in the Li family still didn't know it, but the neighbor next door squatted at the door and saw it, and hurriedly knocked on the door with a bucket.
"Firefighting! Your house is on fire! Open the door! Your house is on fire! It's almost burning to my house! Open the door!"

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly opened the curtain and came out to have a look. She saw thick black smoke rising from the backyard of her house, and the flames were soaring into the sky. She was startled, "Oh! My mother! The house is on fire!"

The whole family rushed to the backyard to put out the fire, and many neighbors came to help. Fortunately, the house was in the middle of the backyard, and there was no combustible material around, so the fire did not spread.It's just that when the fire was extinguished, the house was almost burnt down, leaving only a few charred logs and ashes...

Everyone in the Li family looked disheveled, looking at the pile of ruins, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Mrs. Zhang slapped her thigh and sighed: "Hey... why did such a good room burn down? There are still two cabinets, a kang table, and those quilts and clothes in it. How much are they worth? Woolen cloth!"

She had been thinking about Liu's property for a long time, but she didn't expect that the duck that was about to reach her mouth would be burned away with just such a fire.

Song Fangfo muttered in a low voice like talking to himself: "Why did it catch fire when it was so good?"

Standing next to her, Mrs. Zhang listened to what she said. After careful consideration, she also realized that something was wrong. This place is far away from the kitchen and no one lives there. How could there be a fire?

"Father! Mother! The fire is so weird! The family must have sneaked in and stolen our things. They were afraid that we would find out, so they set fire to our house. Such a big fire... Father! They are fighting With the idea of ​​burning all of us to death!"

Mrs. Li's gloomy face darkened even more, and she glanced at the burnt blackened room with sullen eyes. Without saying a word, she pulled out a rattan cane, and went to Li Shou's house in a hurry.

All these messy things all day and night disturbed old man Li with a headache, he rubbed his brows irritably, he just didn't bother to care about it, let the old woman make as much noise as she liked... Then he lifted his legs and went back to the main room.

The sons didn't like to take care of these messy things, only the two daughters-in-law of the Song family and the Zhang family followed out, one was afraid that Mrs. Li would suffer a disadvantage there, and they would suffer if they didn't go; Otherwise, follow over there, maybe you can get some benefits from their family at that time; moreover, there is no woman who does not like to watch the excitement.

When Mrs. Li brought her two daughter-in-laws to Li Shou's house in a hurry, it was already dark and the oil lamps were lit in the house. In the hearty place, hearty laughter came from the room from time to time.

The chimney in the kitchen is still emitting smoke, the braised pork is still hot in the cauldron, and the smell of meat and sugar is wafting in the yard.
