Chapter 46
When Xiang Jin went to Grandpa Zeng and the others, the courtyard door outside was closed, so she stood outside and called in, "Grandpa Zeng, Grandma Mo, are you home?"

Yan Chen came out of the house, seeing her, he was stunned for a moment, then walked over and opened the courtyard door from the inside, "My grandpa, grandma and the others went out for a walk, what do you need from them?"

"Oh, it's okay." Xiang Jin was also taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, and then handed the watermelon in his hand to him, "Aunt Liao picked a watermelon for you, but she has something to do right now, let me I'll send it over to you."

After hearing her explanation, Yan Chen followed her gaze and saw a big watermelon in her hand, which weighed at least a dozen catties, and he quickly reached out to take it.

Xiang Jin slightly twitched the corner of his lips, "Then I'm going back!"

Seeing her leave as soon as she said, Yan Chen hurriedly called her, "Xiang Jin?"

"Huh?" Xiang Jin turned slightly and looked at him suspiciously.

"Thank you! The steamed stuffed bun you sent to our family at noon is delicious; and this watermelon, thank you for delivering it yourself," he looked at her fixedly.

Xiang Jin smiled, "You're welcome!"

He looked at her and said, "Also, please thank Aunt Liao for us, thank you for her melons!"

"Okay! I'll definitely bring it, so I'm going back?"

Yan Chen also smiled, "Okay, thank you!"

"You're welcome!" She waved to him and left.

After Yan Chen stood in the same place and watched her leave, he turned around and went back to the house with the watermelon in his arms.

Before Xiang Jin could speak a word to her when she got home, two people came to the house, none other than Dengwei's father and aunt Mingfen who were carpenters on the mountain.

Xiang Jinniang and his wife let them into the room, but they didn't move, but said, "No, let's just talk outside. Anyway, we didn't have a few words, and it's still cool outside."

Xiang Jin's mother and daughter stopped insisting. Xiang Jin brought them two separate small stools, and then everyone sat in the courtyard and started talking.

"Sister-in-law Juyun, it's like this. We are here today mainly to tell you that our house is finished. It's just because it's not convenient for you. If it's convenient, we can pack things for you tomorrow," Ming said. Aunt Fern.

Yang Juyun nodded hurriedly, "It's convenient, it's convenient, it's convenient for us."

Aunt Mingfen raised the corners of her mouth, and after taking a look at her child's father, she said, "That's good, then he will come to your house to work tomorrow."

Yang Juyun nodded, "Yes, yes."

After taking a look at their place, Deng Wei frowned and said, "It's just that your place is a bit small. I'm afraid I won't be able to fit it in after a few days."

So the few people also looked at the whole yard, and then frowned. In previous years, Aunt Liao's own crops were enough to pile up, but this year, they have theirs, and theirs There are more corns planted, so the land seems a bit cramped and crowded.

Then I heard Deng Wei say again, "How about, do you think this is okay? If you don't worry, I will take the things to our mountain to make them. When the time is ready, I will send them down to the bay for you?

But don't worry, I will ask our boss to recite the bark, sawdust, and leftovers for you every day. "

At that time, even firewood was very expensive, because many houses were reluctant to buy bricks, tiles, or even stones when building houses. Invite someone to come to your house to hit rocks.

And to burn bricks and tiles at home, you need a lot of firewood.

It takes thirteen days for a small kiln to fire [-] to [-] blue bricks and tiles at a time.

During these thirteen days, the kiln must not be turned off to cool down. It must be kept at [-] degrees Celsius all the time. If the temperature is too low or too high, the final result is that the firing will not be successful. In severe cases, the kiln may even explode.

But to ensure this temperature, firewood has to be added to the kiln continuously. For such a long time, 24 hours a day without interruption, the firewood consumed is not a few tons or ten tons, but dozens or even hundreds of tons.

How can a family have so much firewood, so they usually have to borrow or buy from their own production team or farmers in other production teams during the busy farming season, and return their own firewood when they come out next year.

Therefore, in that era, every family was short of firewood. Every year, people often went to the collective slope of the back mountain to collect firewood. The trees and weeds on the mountain never grew up.

Because there are too many people going there and too many times, the cypress trees on the mountain are basically shaved, leaving only a few tender brushes on the tops of the trees, and the grass is also trampled. Can't grow on the ground.

Therefore, in those days, it was not easy to burn a kiln, and it was even more difficult to build a house. At least two or three years of preparation had to be made in advance, not only for materials, but also for food and money.

There is no way for Xiang Jin's family, so they have to buy everything, because they don't have time to prepare those, they can't live in Aunt Liao's house for a few more years, can they?
So, imminent!

Yang Juyun said, "Look at what you said, that's so polite? But this is also a way," followed her and hesitated, "I just don't know whether to trouble you or not?"

Mingfen said, "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, what kind of trouble is there to fight? Anyway, we are all together now, even if we want to expose something, we can also remove the bamboo mat by ourselves." Let it dry in the ground."

Yang Juyun's eyes were full of smiles, "That's true."

Ming Fen said again, "Then it's settled."

Yang Juyun nodded, but still reminded him, "You can keep the shoveled bark, sawdust and leftovers by yourself, so you don't have to carry them down.

Our family does not burn kilns, so there is no need for firewood. At that time, the cypress branches cut down on the slope, and the mulberry branches pruned in the field, bundled with corn poles will be enough to burn. "

Mingfen laughed, "Okay, listen to you, then we won't recite it for you."

Then Yang Juyun asked, "Then in this life, do you think we will prepare the meals and Deng Wei will come down to the bay to eat by himself, or will we send you up the mountain?"

Mingfen gave her an annoyed look, "What do you think you're talking about? Well, do you want to yell? Don't yell, and don't give it away. He'll eat at our own home."

Yang Juyun didn't do it, "How can it be done? We are making craftsmen, so why let you eat yourself? It doesn't sound good to say it!"

Ming Fen said, "What's the matter with that? Those who go up and down the mountain are not heretics, how can you be so polite? Besides, the few times you come and go, it also delays a lot of time. Eating at home saves a lot of time and is convenient.”

Yang Juyun said, "Then I'll get you some rice noodles then."

Mingfen glared at her, "Do you think you're an outsider again? Are you saying that there is still a shortage of rations? So, quietly, you don't need to take anything, so as not to make a difference between the neighbors." no?"

Yang Juyun felt a little sorry, and after sighing, she had no choice but to give up, "You see, this is taking advantage of you again, doesn't it?"

Ming Fen waved his hand, "Why don't you take advantage of it? Nothing!"

Then Xiang Jin said to Deng Wei, "Dad Deng Wei, can you make me a big bed?"

She is used to sleeping in a big bed, but not in a small bed, especially the beds in this era are not very big, basically they are 1.5 meters by 1.8 meters, or 1.5 meters by [-] meters, and Xiang Jin sleeps on them There is always a feeling of suffocation.

Because she has a habit of sleeping, that is, she likes to roll all over the bed, and the bed is too small for her to roll away.

Deng Wei asked her, "Then how big are you going to make it?"

Xiang Jin said, "I want to make a bed that measures 1.8 meters by 1.8 meters." In fact, her bed in her previous life was [-] meters by [-] meters.
