20 years of spring breeze

Chapter 97
A fool who sleeps on a cold kang depends entirely on his firepower.

There are many jingles like this that have been widely circulated in the Northeast. What are the four major reds and four greens, the four great joys and the four sorrows, the four major sufferings and the four tirednesses, and there is one of the four major injuries, which refers to the four things that are very harmful to the body. One is to sleep on a cold kang.

Kang is a special product in the northeast and northwest frigid regions. It is essentially a living facility for heating in rural areas. In fact, Kang is connected to the ground. If there is no fire, it is no different from sleeping on the ground directly. In winter, the surface of the kang is one or two The rice is all frozen soil, you can imagine the feeling.

That is to warm the earth with the body.

In the afternoon, I had a few words with Sister Xia in the store, and the two played at the door of the store for a while, throwing cannons and throwing cannons, and it was 04:30. Sister Xia left after picking up the child, and Xia Maosheng led Xiaowei After stewing some dishes with the coal stove in the store, the two of them ate a mouthful, and then he went to his aunt's house. Xiaowei was waiting in the store alone.

Having no choice, he tore some cardboard boxes and spread them on the kang, then spread the quilt on the kang on the cardboard boxes, took off his shoes and got under the quilt.

This wait was past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, during which I fell asleep twice, only to be woken up by the cold, it was really a crime.

It was twelve o'clock, and when the outside door rang, Xia Maosheng ran in with a smile and clapped his hands, and said, "I met my partner and stayed with her for a while, what should we do? Should we go out to find a shop or just go to the store?" sleep here?"

Xiaowei squinted at him and said, "Will there be a store here?" This is the same as Xiaowei's hometown. After cleaning the street, you can't find anyone, let alone a store.

Xia Maosheng laughed a few times, took a look at Xiaowei's quilt, and said, "Paper shells are no good. Get up and lay some wooden boards. I'll boil some hot water."

Xiaowei crawled out of the quilt that had just warmed up, rolled the quilt together into a roll, so that the heat would run slower, and then put on his shoes and went to the ground.

When he came to the outside room, the stove had already been extinguished. Xia Maosheng went to the corner to look for it. He took a few pieces of wood and put them in the stove. He used oiled paper to light the fire. It got warmer.

Sitting with a teapot of water on the stove, the two sat by the stove with their hands clasped to smoke. Xia Maosheng said: "My aunt came home late today, and it was almost ten o'clock when I finished talking. It hasn't been two months. I didn’t see you, I’ll just go to the place where I’m facing for a while, don’t be angry.”

Xiaowei smiled and said, "Why are you so angry? Anyway, if you freeze to death here, you can collect the body."

Xia Maosheng scratched his head in embarrassment, muttered for a long time and said: "Okay, I'm wrong, next time I invite you to dinner, do you like it?"

Xiaowei looked around the room by the light of the fire and said, "Is your sister's shop making money? Why do I feel so messed up?"

Xia Maosheng poked the fire with an iron hook and said: "I mainly buy some things for the school and the government. I mean how much money I can make in retail sales. I have to go to the northwest wind. A student can spend less than five yuan a semester. Although it is called a city, it is actually a county, and it is still a poor county, and if there is no mining bureau, it will be completely rural."

Xiaowei said: "The Mining Bureau is so big, I see many factories and sub-equipment, how can it be poor?"

Xia Maosheng smiled and said: "I forgot you have never been out. The Mining Bureau is not under the management of the city. His rank is higher than my aunt's. It's just that the mine is here, and the county has no money. Just like you, Cup Steel, including Angang, is owned by the state, and the local government has no control and no money to take it.”

Xiaowei said: "The workers are all living here, so the wages are not spent? Isn't the money left?"

Xia Maosheng shook his head and said: "The place is too small to do business. Look at how many people on this street have gone to Jinzhou. It is convenient to go to Jinzhou. They buy clothes, shoes, houses, and electrical appliances. They all go to Jinzhou. No matter how the place is built, it is impossible to catch up with that side. You Beixi, Li Guangzhao, Fushun, Ansaijun, and Liaoyang are actually like this. Those who have money go to Fengtian to spend, but there are more adults in your place. , can always keep some. We are too small."

Xiaowei nodded and said, "It's small, it's not as big as our county town. To be honest, I'm quite disappointed with this. You said, it's okay to start classes here? Why do I feel so uncomfortable."

Xia Maosheng nodded and said: "I'm sure it won't work here. It would be great if we can attract three melons and two dates. Let's go to Chaoyang to do it. If we want to find my aunt, let her find a relationship. We are in charge of Chaoyang."

The fire in the stove gradually flourished, the flames swelled up, and the flames danced and reflected on the faces of the two people. The teapot on the stove made a chugging sound, and finally there was a trace of heating in the room.

Xiaowei moved his body, twisted and twisted, and said: "It's so cold and hard. When you drink too much, I will bury you in the snow and sleep for half an hour, so that you can experience this feeling."

Xia Maosheng laughed, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Hey, what, what happened to you and your wife?"

Xiaowei was stunned for a moment and asked, "Which one? What?"

Xia Maosheng put down the stove hook, and said with a wretched smile, "This."

Xiaowei scratched his hair, thought for a while, compared the movement and asked, "What is this?"

Xia Maosheng twitched his face, licked his lips and said, "That's right, have you slept under the covers yet?"

Xiaowei asked: "What are you gesticulating while sleeping under the quilt? Who can understand this?"

Xia Maosheng also scratched his hair, smiled suddenly, and said, "Are you still a virgin? Haha, honest boy, why don't you do anything when you are together every day? If I want you, I will have a baby."

Xiaowei groaned, and then understood what Xia Maosheng was talking about, shook his head and said: "Xiaohong is going to school, it is easy to get into a university, we finally climbed out of the mountain, how can we destroy it for such a little thing, just a few years We have agreed on the matter, she will go to get the certificate after she graduates, and Gaha will not work then."

Xia Maosheng asked in a low voice: "Then you don't want to?"

Xiaowei was a little embarrassed, and asked back: "Then you slept with your partner? Damn, you won't just go tonight."

Xia Maosheng laughed and said, "I can't think about it for a long time. She only has a few days of duty in a month, and half of it is taken up by menstruation. Hey, let me ask you something. Tell me, she is already like me, why not?" Let me see? You have to turn off the lights when you enter the house, and get out of the way when you are dressed, and she is anxious when I want to turn on the lights, why do you think?"

Xiaowei looked at Xia Maosheng and said, "I don't know, how would I know, you won't ask her?"

The sound of the teapot on the stove became louder and louder, and the area around the stove became hot. Xiaowei straightened his legs comfortably and said, "It's nice to be warm. If you find it cold, it's not only cold, but also tired. You have to be tense. "

Xia Maosheng stood up to look for a bowl, and said, "Drink some hot water and put wooden boards on it. The paper shell is not worth it."

Xiaowei said, "Why isn't there a fire in the house? Can't the kang be burned?"

Xia Maosheng came back with the bowl and said: "There is no stove pit, it was demolished, so I didn't want to live in it."

　There will be two changes today and tomorrow, take a break.
