Chapter 57 57. Residents of the East City
Whether it is the goat and the hairy monster or the "black gold" of the ancient tree, it has caused great shock on the management level.

The recruitment of female workers in textile factories and the recruitment of workers in 'black gold' are in full swing.

And the first batch of selected outstanding talents successfully moved into Chengdong.

But the good thing is that each house is equipped with an earth kang.

And Zhang Hu, as an excellent propagandist with outstanding contributions, successfully moved into the small courtyard in the east of the city.

And today they're ready to move into a house they never dreamed of before.

Not to mention that this courtyard is in the city, the gates of the courtyard are all shiny

When Zhang Hu was holding things and the child, Chunhua was supporting the mother, and the daughter opened the door to enter, he was stunned by the sight of the small courtyard.

The yard is clean and tidy, and even the tiles are new. The most surprising thing is that the walls of the house seem to be painted on, smooth and flat, which makes Chunhua amazed.

Zhang Hu's face was rosy, and he said excitedly: "I heard from the old village chief that every courtyard of ours has kangs!"

"What's that?" Zhang Hu's mother was already recovering from illness, her face was flushed, and she had strength to speak, so she asked curiously.

"Mom, the kang is a sleeping platform made of bricks, slabs, etc. There is a hole below, connected to the chimney, a mat on top, and a hole below that is connected to the chimney and the stove, so you can burn a fire to keep yourself warm." Chunhua said. Aunt Zhang didn't quite understand the big string, "The daughter of a scholar is educated, Huzi, I didn't quite understand. Please explain it to me."

Zhang Hu put down the things in his hands, hugged the child with one hand, scratched his head with the other hand, and thought for a while, "Mom, even if the heat from your cooking fire flows under your bed, it will keep you warm even in cold weather."

"Then, how much fire will be burned and how much firewood will be chopped?" Aunt Zhang understood, but she became worried again.

"It doesn't take much, mother, I went to the old village... I learned it from the popularization class at the steward's place, so it doesn't cost much firewood to burn it." Chunhua comforted, "The house on the east is yours, the sun is the best, you Take Mu En Muyou to stay on the kang, and I will cook for us, and it will be warm in a while."

Aunt Zhang swallowed her saliva, nodded, hugged her little granddaughter, and led her tremblingly into the east room, muttering in her mouth: "I can live in the house and not be frozen to death, thanks to the city lord!" ah."

Pushing the east door, the cleanliness inside made Aunt Zhang burst into tears.

Zhang Muyou raised his head in confusion and said, "Grandma, why are you crying?"

Aunt Zhang put her granddaughter on the kang, touched it again and again, and then wiped her tears with her sleeves, "Muyou, grandma is happy. With this house, we have survived this winter. You He Muen will not freeze to death."

Zhang Muyou sniffed his nose and said loudly: "Grandma, don't worry, everyone says that we are the children of City Lord Mu Muzi Xiao Biyou, and we are born with good luck. I will work harder in the future and work for the City Lord just like my father." ! Contribute!"

Aunt Zhang patted Zhang Muyou's head, "Yeah, you are worthy of being our Zhang family. Going to study during this time is not in vain."

Aunt Zhang brought her bedding in from the outside and spread it quickly on the kang. After all, she had just recovered from a serious illness. After working for a while, she was so tired that she sat on the kang to pant. But as she sat there, she felt that the kang was getting hot. .

Aunt Zhang got into the quilt, and put Mu En Muyou in the quilt, her thin quilt was more effective than before, covering the heat, and immediately Aunt Zhang felt warm all over.

Zhang Muen, who was still in his infancy, was thin and small, and he had a cold a while ago. If it wasn't for the rice soup, he might not have survived. At this time, the little child finally fell asleep in this warm bed. After a good night's sleep, the little hands that had been tightly clenched were loosened comfortably.

"Grandma, it's so warm." Zhang Muyou's voice became smaller and smaller, and he fell asleep after a while.

Aunt Zhang was sick, hungry and worried for so long, and finally relaxed on this warm kang.She seemed to be in a fairyland, struggling to get up to help her son and daughter-in-law, but her body could no longer move, and she fell into a deep sleep.
