Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

In the end, no matter how much Li Xiufen cried and begged in the yard, no one listened.

Mr. Li even locked Li Xiufen in the house and prohibited her from going out.

Now that it has been decided to let Li Jinfeng marry her, it is best not to let Li Xiufen show up outside, for fear that she will cause trouble.

Li Xiufen was locked in the room and cried every day, crying so sadly.

But Mr. Li issued a death order and would not allow her to be released until Li Jinfeng married into the Huang family.

No matter how distressed Mrs. Li was, she did not dare to let her daughter out secretly. She could only comfort her with a few words when delivering food to Li Xiufen from the window every day.

"Mom, please let me out, as long as I don't make a fuss." Li Xiufen grabbed the hand that Mrs. Li stretched out, her face full of pleading.

She must find a way out. Even if she can't deal with Li Jinfeng, she still has to go to Jiang's house to get money to treat her face.

"Xiufen, there's nothing I can do about it..." Mrs. Li shook her head helplessly, "Your father has made up his mind this time. Just bear with it for a few more days. Once that damn girl Li Jinfeng leaves, you can come out... …”

"Mom, how could you do this!!"

Hearing what Mrs. Li said, Li Xiufen was completely hopeless.

Even her mother agreed that Li Jinfeng married into the Huang family on her behalf, so what else did she have to rely on to compete with Li Jinfeng?

"No! No! That marriage is mine!"

Li Xiufen gritted her teeth, shook off Mrs. Li's hand, and yelled like crazy: "Why does that bitch Li Jinfeng marry into the Huang family on my behalf? I am the one who can marry the young master of the Huang family!"

Mrs. Li's face was full of bitterness, and she didn't say a word no matter how much Li Xiufen cried and fussed inside the window.

Next to me, I was cracking melon seeds and watching the show for a long time. In fact, the person who was in charge of keeping an eye on the show, Mr. Zhu, spat at me. Look at what that face has become. She even dreamed of marrying the young master of the Huang family...

……

The Jiang family.

Jiang Wei has been carefully taking care of the limestone calcined in the kiln these days, and has little time to do other things.

Limestone must be fired at high temperatures so that the carbon dioxide in the limestone will be released to form calcium oxide, and finally quicklime will be obtained. This method requires very accurate control of the firing time and temperature, and Jiang Wei does not dare to relax at all.

Because there was no modern technology in this era, it would take seven days to bake quicklime once. Once it failed, it would not only be a waste of time, but also a waste of a lot of fuel she invested.

If we are in modern times and use mechanized or semi-mechanized shaft kilns, boiling furnaces and other equipment, the time required to calcine lime is far less, and it only takes a few hours.

Although the coal resources in this era are not worth the money, and the wood for calcination can be found on the mountain, it also takes time and money to collect these fuels.

On the last day, Jiang Wei finally fired the required quicklime.

The fire in the kiln is very strong, and the stone will become very brittle and gradually turn into powder under the scorching fire.

When the fire went out, Jiang Wei reached in and touched it. After the temperature of the lime faded, he put it into the space. When it was used, he sprinkled it with water and it would spread out automatically. This was the technology of this era. The best quicklime that can be fired.

Quicklime is an indispensable quick-setting agent for making cement, and burning it once is not enough.

Her house is very large and requires cement to build walls and pave roads... If possible, she would also like to build a pond at home and raise some lotus flowers, fish, etc. The lime is far from enough.

So, Jiang Wei moved the stones he found from the mountain last time from the space and began to bake the lime for the second kiln. Jiang Xiaoxiao stared at the side with his chin clenched for a long time and sighed silently.

Calcining lime requires someone to watch the fire at all times, which takes up almost all of her mother's time. It is not an option if this continues. How about spending money to hire someone to help?

While thinking about it, Chunya came in carrying a basket of fresh grass, and without saying a word started to chop the grass next to the rabbit nest.

Jiang Xiaoxiao walked over and asked casually: "Sister Chun Ya, what has your mother been doing at home these past few days?"

It seemed that she hadn't seen Sister Zhao in the village for a long time since Sister-in-law Zhao separated from Rascal Zhao.

"Mom found a job at the dock in the town..." Chun Ya raised her head and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, don't worry. Mom now has a job to make money to support us. She earns twenty cents a day."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, twenty cents a day?

Is there such a high-paying job in the town?

But looking at Chun Ya's appearance, it didn't look like she was lying.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't ask any more questions, and came to her mother. Looking at Jiang Wei who was still busy at work, she said, "Mom, when will you start making cement? You are so busy all day long that you don't have time to do other things. How about you?" Let’s recruit someone else to help.”

Jiang Wei closed the two doors of the kiln, nodded and said, "Yes, it would be more convenient to invite someone to come."

The job of burning a kiln is not difficult, as long as you control the heat well, and you need to hire an honest and patient person.

She turned to look at Jiang Xiaoxiao: "My dear, who do you want to invite?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao pointed in the direction of Chun Ya: "I think Chun Ya's mother is very good."

Sister-in-law Zhao has no land in this village, so she has no source of income. If she wants to support her two daughters, she has to go to the town to find work. Anyway, she is looking for work to make money. Wouldn't it be better to come to her house.

Sister-in-law Zhao is honest and knows everything, so there will be no problems.

"Okay, just find a time to go and talk to Sister Zhao directly." Jiang Wei was very satisfied with this candidate.

After receiving permission, Jiang Xiaoxiao happily followed Chun Ya home to find Sister Zhao.

It was already afternoon, around noon, and the weather was hot. Almost every household had finished eating and rested at home. No one dared to work in the fields at this time.

Although it is almost autumn, it is still so hot that people feel dizzy.

But Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't expect to meet Widow Xu on the way there.

She had a basket slung in her arm, and it was dripping with something unknown.

Widow Xu hurriedly took out the things, and Jiang Xiaoxiao saw clearly that it was the hot weather that caused the ice cream to melt.

"I haven't even eaten one bite of Shilaozi's ice cream, and it's gone so quickly!" Widow Xu looked anxious, looking at the ice cream that had mostly melted, wanting to eat it but reluctant to part with it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at her slightly bulging belly and said, "Ice cream is cold in nature. Aunt Xu, you'd better not eat it while you're pregnant. It's not good for your health."

Otherwise, if something goes wrong after eating, it will be her family’s fault.

"I want you to take care of it!" Widow Xu glared at her when she heard this. There seemed to be a hint of vague unwillingness and resentment in her eyes.

After saying that, she turned around and left, ignoring Jiang Xiaoxiao.
