From Cultivator to Widow

There is indeed news.

Xie Rui went to the city and came back to find Su An.

"I've already burned myself. I've tried it a few times, but the soil and water are different, so there may be some differences." Xie Rui's eyes were shining.

Su An nodded lightly: "How sure are you?"

"60%, it's really not good, I can ask a master to come and give pointers."

"Would you mind telling me about the process?"

"The first step is to select the soil, dig deep soil and clay from the paddy field, and then step on it to make it sticky and elastic. Then it is shaped with a mold, then air-dried, put into the kiln, and fired." This process is really approximate.

Xie Rui felt that it was unclear: "When the time comes, I will show it to you and you will understand."

In fact, Xie Rui can do this by herself, but when she gets along with Sister Su, she always gives herself a feeling of ease and ease. If there is something she wants to tell her subconsciously, see what she says, she feels that she is a reliable person.

If they want to make tiles, they still have a lot of soil here. There are carpenters in the mold village, and the kiln can also be built by itself. However, before going to tell the captain, Su An suggested that Xie Rui first try to burn some semi-finished products.

Zhang Chengye paid more attention to reality than what he said.

If it can be done, the village can use tiles and earn money with an extra sideline business. He can't disagree.

Try to do it yourself first, indeed, it will also help him organize his thoughts.

It's not impossible for him to do it. Dig the soil into the rice fields. If it is a kiln, it can take a little effort. He also has some charcoal and coal needed to burn the tiles.

slam-la-

slam-la-

Along with the strong wind, this heavy rain made Zhang Chengye unable to stay at home with peace of mind. He hurriedly put on his raincoat and called the Master to patrol the fields.

If the rain is too heavy and the drainage of the ditches is not smooth, it will easily flow into the rice fields. The more water in the rice fields, the better. There are fish ponds. At the end of each year, fish will be divided into Chinese New Year. If the water level rises too fast, the fish in it will run out and enter the stream.

Zhang Chengye took people outside to make soup, and the others basically stayed at home obediently.

Because of the heavy rain early in the morning, Su Hui did not go to school. In this weather, the school would not have classes by default.

The school was already leaking water, and it was impossible to go to classes in such a heavy rain. When the rain stopped, the roof had to be repaired.

At the beginning, because the school was used by children in class, the roof of the school was tiled when the school was built, but the tile does not mean that it is not leaking, especially when it is in disrepair.

Every year, the school has a small leak. This year, the leak is even worse. However, the village will not agree to spend money to buy tiles. Where is the money, so even if the water leaks, it can only continue to be repaired with straw. .

This rain lasted for a long time. It started in the morning and continued into the evening. It was such a heavy rain and the time was so long. guarding the field.

"Da da da da-"

The raindrops fell on the tiles and made a pleasant sound. Zhang Anguo sat on his small stool, sitting under the eaves, watching the heavy rain outside, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang Dingguo sat next to him, boringly stacking the numeracy cards in one shape after another.

Zhang Weiguo was reading a poem. This poem was taught to him by Zhang Baoguo, which is catchy.

At first, he couldn't recognize all the characters in it, but after reciting a lot, he also memorized those characters.

His progress is rapid.

Zhang Baoguo was copying the newspaper.

Su An had read the newspaper, so she circled certain paragraphs and asked him to copy it. Her original words were: "If you are idle, you are idle, so just copy the newspaper."

What can Zhang Baoguo say?

Although he didn't know what his mother meant for him to copy the newspaper, he still tried his best to keep those contents in his mind.

Su An also has something to do. It rains for a long time and the weather is humid. If some things are not placed properly, they will grow hair. One low stool even grows mushrooms, which is unbearable.

At the same time, she was still experimenting in the ring space, burning the tiles according to the steps that Xie Rui said.

Except for the clay that needs to be taken out, she can make the rest by herself. The mold is also very simple. It is only experimental. It has a shape, and it is enough to bend slightly, and it does not need to be too standard.

As for air-drying and firing in the kiln, there are different formations in the mustard space to meet her needs.

She must have failed at the beginning, but she has learned lessons and made relevant records. It can be seen from the final product that she is making progress and becoming more and more decent.

Su An checked the moldy and hairy things in the house, checked the time, and went into the kitchen. Because of the rain, she didn't go into the mountains much, and she was eating stock recently.

In her mustard seed space, there are still two slaughtered hares, a pheasant, and ten kilograms of wild boars, pig trotters and bones. The only ones alive are those raised in a water tank. Fish, fish are much easier to take care of. Su An doesn't want to keep other living animals here. Except for fish, they are all frozen after being slaughtered, and some of them are thawed when they want to eat.

Su An heated up the soup in the casserole, which contained the pork bones she cooked at noon, put peanuts, and **** in it to ward off the cold.

There is a wooden basin in the corner of the kitchen. There is a basin of river mussels in the wooden basin. These are all things that Zhang Baoguo had nothing to touch before, one after another, and now he has accumulated most of the basins and put them there, and has been raising them for a period of time. Yes, the sand should be spit out.

Su An boiled a pot of hot water, then cleaned the shell of the mussels and put them inside. In the scalding hot water, when the mussels that were tightly closed and refused to speak were fished out, she was easily caught by her. Open the shell, dig out the mussels with a knife, throw away the dirt, cut them into sections, then pick some mint and add a little chili, and the fragrant fried mussels are so fresh.

This dish is the main dish. In addition, she fried a bean, patted a cucumber, and then came with a plate of steamed edamame, and made a four-course and one-soup.

Beans and cucumbers are fine, but where did the edamame come from?

They didn't have this in their private plot, Zhang Baoguo pursed his lips, but he knew that when he asked, his mother wouldn't say anything, just like the green vegetables that they didn't have here before, she would only say: Guess.

Zhang Baoguo can only think about the three aspects of what others gave, what others exchanged, and what his mother secretly planted. If it is said that his mother is going to dig a corner of the public house, it is impossible. One is that she believes in her mother, and the other is her mother. When he went to Geography, he knew where there was time for her to do these hands and feet, and he had never heard anyone say that someone had touched it. After more experience, he would not ask, and would just eat silently, brother. Sometimes I ask and help my mother to cover.

The four brothers licked their lips when they looked at the plate of stir-fried mussels. They all like to eat slightly spicy food, but they seldom eat spicy food before, and they are careful every time. Eat, drink water and inhale while eating, Su An said that next time they will protest without adding chili.

This is the normal state of their table now. Basically, there are four dishes, one soup, and four dishes every day. Generally speaking, only one dish is a meat dish, and the other three are vegetarian dishes. The meat dish may be fish or meat. , it may also be sausage, eggs, or even meat sauce, the other three vegetarian dishes are more, blanched green vegetables, fried green vegetables are the most common, and then all kinds of steamed pumpkin, steamed sweet potatoes, rich ones are not good, they will never be Knowing what to eat tomorrow leads them to already look forward to it every night, looking forward to tomorrow's dishes.

The portion was just right, and the five people ate the meal and soup cleanly.

After dinner, sit for a while before taking a shower, and then go to bed after bathing.

My mother often went up the mountain to chop wood. Zhang Baoguo thought that if my mother didn’t go up the mountain to chop wood often, where would there be so much wood for them to boil hot water for bathing every day?

He thought he could wash less, so that his mother wouldn't have to work so hard, but she didn't listen. You say yours, and I'll do mine.

This day was supposed to be the same as usual, going to bed after taking a shower.

It was getting dark. In order to save the lamp oil, the lights were usually not lit, but before going to bed, Su An quietly dropped a bomb: "Anguo and Dingguo are not too young, you two brothers can sleep alone in the future."

Zhang Anguo was stunned for a moment, then ran over and hugged her leg: "No, I want to sleep with my mother."

Zhang Dingguo also ran over and hugged her other leg: "I want to sleep with my mother too."

Su An touched the two furry heads with both hands: "How old are you now?"

"Six years old."

"Yes, you are six years old. Six years old is no longer a child, but an older child. The older child still sleeps with his mother? Besides, my mother knows that Anguo and Dingguo are both courageous little men who are separated from their mother. Sleep is the first step in growth, you can do it, right?"

The two little men whose self-esteem had been aroused couldn't say anything else. They could only pouted and watched their mother move their little pillows and quilts to another room.

There is no such thing as kicking the quilt in summer. She could take a second look once in a while.

However, Su An was not used to sleeping on the bed for a while. After sleeping with the two little guys for so long, it was a bit strange that she was alone in the bed now. Habit is really a powerful force.

Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo were coaxed to sleep by their mother in the new room. After falling asleep, they naturally didn't know that their mother had left, but when Zhang Anguo woke up in the middle of the night, he habitually reached out and touched it, but he didn't touch it. A familiar person, he didn't react for a while, but it took him a while to remember. Mom said that he was a brave little man. He touched his twin brother's snoring body, got off the bed, and solved the problem. After the trumpet, he climbed up obediently, but after climbing up, he couldn't sleep, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he slept, rolled around on the bed, and finally rolled to the side of his brother, hugged his arm, and finally found it A comfortable position, closed his eyes, and within a minute, his breathing became regular.

Su An, who has been paying attention to the movement here, opened the door and came in to take a look. After confirming, she closed the door and quietly returned to her room.

Go back to the mustard space. At this time, Wan Lai was silent. There were desks, stools, and ink, paper and inkstones in the mustard space. She picked up the pen again and began to write silently. The exercises and the like had been memorized by heart, but for what she had experienced before, she had I didn't think about it carefully. Now, I will write down the things one by one, and list the people who have experienced it. I recall the original state of mind. If such a thing happens again, with her current state of mind, she will not necessarily act the same as before. s Choice.

When she came to an end, it was halfway through the night, she went back to bed, lay down, and fell asleep, and when the sun rose, she opened her eyes for the first time, in good spirits, and there was no lack of sleep at all.

After a day and a night of heavy rain, the sky finally cleared up. The sun exerted its power early in the morning, fiercely grilling the earth, and it was bound to evaporate the water from yesterday.

Su An stood on the podium and looked at the situation below.

She came over early today to help clean up the classroom, and the classroom became accessible, but the situation in the classroom is not very good now. Half of the desks are wet and cannot be used. Su An sighed and let him come. Classroom students go home.

In such a situation, class is definitely not possible, and the principal also came over: "Look at the weather, make some repairs today, and resume classes tomorrow when the weather is good." If the weather is bad, we can only continue to take vacations.

Fortunately, the learning task is not heavy, and the lack of a two-day course can be fully made up later.

Su An moved these tables and chairs outside to let the sun dry off the moisture. The other two teachers were doing the same thing. When they met outside, they gave a wry smile and continued to work.

It didn't take long for the principal to come over with two people, carrying some planks for repairing the roof.

Su An was helping out from below, helping to pass something or something.

The weather was good that day, and the sun was shining all day. Su An helped out at school all day, and finally the maintenance was completed.

Facing the children in the audience the next day, Su An did not take out the textbook, but talked about simple geography.

For example, what kind of village is their village, what village is next door, and what is the nearest town, and there is a city above the town... As a novel, I have never left the village, and at most I have only been to the nearby village to visit relatives, or It was a child who went to the town to learn how to know how vast the outside world is. Hearing her talk about the city and the capital, the little faces tanned by the sun are full of novelty and yearning. , Such a place must be more prosperous than they imagined, right?

Seeing them like this, Su An moved in her heart and took out the newspapers she had prepared. Some newspapers had pictures on them: "This is the capital city..."

The principal who walked to the door of their classroom stopped for a long time outside the window, looking at the children with a smile on his face.

That's why he asked educated youth from outside as teachers. They come from more prosperous places, they know the world is wider, their vision is higher, and they can bring a lot of things to their children inadvertently. Create cravings, and cravings make them study harder.

On the podium, Su An talked about how it has been raining recently: "China has a vast land and resources. It has rained every day here recently. Do you think it will rain in other places too?"

"Yes."

"Definitely."

"Not necessarily. The last time I went to my grandmother's house, they didn't go there."

 …

They were talking about their opinions, Su Hui did not answer immediately, but waited for them to discuss, and then took out another newspaper: "The picture on this newspaper is the frontier of our country in the northwest of China. ,There……"

The principal turned around and left slowly. Thinking of what someone said in front of him, he frowned and quickly loosened it.

Her education is relatively low, but isn't she already studying by herself? When she gets a junior high school degree, those people will have nothing to say, right?

Su Hui didn't know that someone couldn't hold back and made her mind. She studied in class step by step, and wanted to get a junior high school degree. She didn't take the test just because she said it.

On the other side, due to the weather, Xie Rui waited for a long time to dry. He had to go to a designated spot every day to check the situation. Others in the educated youth group did not know what he was doing. Lin Jingnan, who lived in the same room, knew it. After that, he almost raised his hands and feet to show his support. Xie Rui diligently helped him in whatever he did. When he left the humble kiln, his hands trembled with excitement.

If successful, what does this mean?

It means that their roof can be covered with tiles, which means that he will probably not need to go down to the ground, but to burn tiles!

Can he not be excited? Staring at the line of sight ahead, it can almost burn hot.
