Back to the past: Spring and Autumn Siheyuan

Chapter 222
"Oh, I'm not going to move you. I really have something to ask you." Li Heng said with a bit of dumbfounding.

"Really don't move me?"

"Really, this is on the main road, I can't lie to you."

"Okay then, what do you want to ask?"

"Girl, I think you don't seem to have any appetite recently, you don't even want to eat your favorite meat, why don't you..."

Should it be something?He must have asked her if she was pregnant.

"No brother, did you forget, I have only been clean for two days. I have a bad appetite during this time because it is too hot and I don't want to eat anything."

When she said this, Li Heng also remembered, indeed, two days after the work, how could she be pregnant.

"Is there any other discomfort?"

"No, it's because of the weather. Wangnian is the same for me. When it's too hot, I don't want to eat anything. My parents know that."

"OK then."

"Brother, do you want a baby?"

Li Heng didn't know how to answer this question.

Want a baby?It seems that there is really no way to talk about it.

But when he thinks of his daughter-in-law's body, if there is a crystallization of love between the two, he seems a little excited again.

"I'm worried that you may be pregnant and I don't know yet."

"Oh, don't worry, brother, I'm more worried than you. Hey...Brother, brother, popsicle popsicles, there are popsicle sellers." As she was talking, the little girl raised her arms excitedly and pointed to the opposite side of the road. He jumped twice, looking like a child who hasn't grown up.

Li Heng turned his head and saw that it was a middle-aged woman pushing a bicycle. She had just come out of the alley opposite, and she was yelling and selling popsicles in a low voice as she walked.

A wooden box was tied to the back seat of the car, and on the outside of the box were written popsicles and cream ice cream in red paint.

There are quilts in this kind of boxes, and the popsicles are wrapped inside. Because the cold air is blocked by the quilts, it can be guaranteed that they will not melt for a long time.

"If you want to eat, go buy it."

"Brother, do you want it?"

"Okay, give me one too."

The popsicle is one point, which is actually made of sugar water, and the cream ice cream is two points, which has a slightly milky taste.

After the conditions improve a little in the past few years, there will be mung bean and red bean popsicles, and there will be a lot of mung beans and red beans on the popsicles.

Eating the popsicle bought by the little girl, taking a bite, the ice is sweet and oozes coolness, it is indeed a sharp weapon to cool off in summer.

The two of them just walked on the side of the road holding a popsicle like this, attracting a lot of children who came out to play after eating to look this way, some turned around and ran back, probably because they wanted to go home and ask for money to buy a popsicle Eat, just don't know whether it's money or a slap on the butt that greets him after he opens his mouth.

……

Looking at the popsicle in his hand, Li Heng thought of the big ice cubes used to cool down at home.

In the beginning, he didn't think of using ice cubes to cool down at all. It was because he found a pile of big ice cubes bought from the cafeteria that day that he curiously asked what it was for.

Then I realized that summer is too hot, and there is no way to store meat and vegetables for a long time, so I can only rely on ice cubes.

He was taken aback by this, and he scolded himself for being so stupid. Didn't those rich people in ancient times rely on ice cubes saved in winter to survive the summer? Many historical gossip said so.

So there was him to buy ice cubes for the family.

His house also has a cellar, which is just behind the house. It is used to store winter vegetables. The inside is quite clean. He first bought a few large pots, and then bought a few large ice cubes to test it out. The effect was particularly good. Finally At least the meat and vegetables he sometimes buys for his family can be stored.

I also put a piece of ice in the house, although the effect is much worse than in the cellar, but it is much better than without this piece of ice.

It's not that ordinary people don't know this method of cooling down. The key is that ice cubes cost money. A large piece costs two cents, and few people are willing to buy it.

At first, the little girl was reluctant, but under Li Heng's persuasion, she reluctantly agreed to give it a try, and she couldn't do without ice cubes.

Not to mention the ability to store those meat dishes in the cellar, but the fact that it can cool down the house, she loves it to death.

Otherwise, it's been hot all day, a few days ago she forced herself to stop her favorite exercise at night.

But in the past two days, because of the ice, everything has returned to normal.

Xiaobai is the happiest, at least it is not so hot in the house, lying on the bed not far from the ice, tsk tsk... very comfortable.

After eating a popsicle, Li Heng licked his lips twice with some reluctance, and then his eyes widened.

At this moment, he really wanted to slap himself twice.

He found that there was indeed a muscle missing in his head, and he was guarding Baoshan without knowing it.

He can buy popsicles in unlimited quantities. It’s fine to just throw them in the warehouse. There is no concept of time in it, and there is no question of whether they will melt or not. At worst, it would be a bit of a struggle, just go out for a walk, and just say that it was bought from outside.

Also, he doesn't have to bother with those big ice cubes at all. He drives to buy them every two days. It's still the same. He buys more at one time and puts them in the warehouse. Anyway, the warehouse is now big enough. Know where the boundaries are.

"Brother, what are you thinking? Look straight ahead."

"Huh? Oh, I wonder if I can buy more popsicles and store them on ice in the cellar."

"Huh? Is that okay? Will the popsicle melt?"

"I don't know. I'll just buy some popsicles tomorrow and try them out. Or you can pay attention when you get home later. If you see popsicles for sale again, buy them."

In the past few days, the little girl has become interested in popsicles.

Refrigerator, by the way, when did this refrigerator come out?It won't really wait until the 80s.

Li Heng muttered to himself.

There must be some abroad, he knows that, but he doesn't know when it started in China.

He can only remember that in the 80s there was something called Changling Ariston brand.

But now his eyes are really darkened.

"Girl, have you heard of refrigerators?"

"Huh? What? A refrigerator? An ice box?"

Yes, ask in vain.

"No, it's a machine that can..."

There was no other way, so he simply gave his wife a popular science.

"Ah? Then according to what you said, wouldn't it be possible to put a lot of popsicles in it without melting, oh, that's not right, it needs to be powered continuously."

Hey, this little girl, open your mouth and keep your mouth shut.

"Brother, in that case, it will consume a lot of electricity."

"It's sure to cost electricity. This is spending money to buy enjoyment."

"No, the electricity bill is so expensive, and that thing has to be turned on all day long."

"Hehe, you're thinking too much girl, I don't know if we have a refrigerator here."
