She smiled and said, "The capital is also quite cold. When I return to the capital for the New Year, I will also have someone prepare a kang for the Imperial Grandmother and the Imperial Uncle."
Shi Qingluo said: "If conditions permit, it would be better to build a kang and a fire wall, and the whole house will be especially warm."
Xi Rong instantly became interested, "How do I do this?"
Shi Qingluo handed her the blueprint he had already drawn. "Let's do this. You take this one back to the capital, and I'll draw another one."
This was originally the blueprint she had prepared to rebuild a study with a firewall for her husband.
Xi Rong took the drawing and looked at it. "Luoluo, you are so kind!"
The two of them lay on the kang and talked, and soon fell asleep together.
When I woke up, it was already afternoon.
The two men put on thick clothes, put on fur capes, and went out.
Then I saw Liang Youxiao walking out from another room.
Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong were both stunned. "Why are you here? When did you come back?"
Liang Youxiao looks a little darker, but his temperament has become more restrained and mature.
He smiled and said, "I just came back today, and then Xi Rui called me to experience the heated kang."
"I was a little confused about whether to go back to Beijing directly after the New Year and then come to Heyang County, but in the end I decided to come to Heyang County first and then go back to Beijing with Xi Rui and the others."
He smiled and added: "After experiencing the kang, I found that what I did was absolutely correct."
As soon as Shi Qingluo heard it, he knew that this guy also wanted people to learn how to build a kang, and then return to Beijing to show filial piety to his elders.
"It just so happens that I gave Xi Rong a blueprint of a fire bed and a fire wall. If you want to use it, just go and draw one yourself."
Liang Youxiao smiled and said, "That's a must."
After hearing this, Xi Rui also walked out of the room, "I want one too!"
This time even Fei Yuzhe came out and said, "I want one too."
In the next few days, the servants brought by Liang Youxiao and his companions learned how to make a kang, and they could no longer sit still.
So they all proposed to return to the capital city early. Once the kang and fire wall were unveiled, they would become famous again in the capital city.
Shi Qingluo did not refuse, and smiled as he prepared a lot of specialties from the Northern Frontier for them.
What's more, we even prepared more than a dozen newly released and improved down jackets for each person, the styles of which are more like the robes that everyone wears now.
Before, Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Hanzheng to strongly encourage the people to raise more ducks in each village, and then they would collect the duck down.
These duck downs are picked out, washed and dried when the weather is hot, and then made into long down jackets, down vests and down warm pants.
It was just made in the last few days. Shi Qingluo came to send Xi Rui, Liang Youxiao and Xi Rong off today, wearing a blue down jacket.
"Inside this bundle are two down jackets, two down vests, and thermal pants for each of you."
"If you feel cold in the carriage, you can take out your down jackets and put them on."
Shi Qingluo handed them each a large bag.
Xi Rong immediately opened her bag, took out a bright red down jacket and put it on herself, "I'll try it now."
Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao did the same, they took out a down jacket and put it on.
It was a little cold when they first put it on, but after just a moment, they found that the down jacket was particularly warm.
Liang Youxiao pulled the down jacket and said, "As expected of Qingluo, even the clothes she made are so warm."
Xi Rui also did so, "If I take this down jacket back home, my old man will definitely like it."
His father is afraid to go out in winter. If he had a down jacket and down pants, he would probably love to go out.
Liang Youxiao also said: "Yes, yes, the old man might be very happy."
I can go out and show off again.
Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, "So I prepared more than a dozen down jackets for each of you. You can take them home and divide them among yourselves."
Because Fei Yuzhe has a lot of official business in Heyang County, he plans to return to Beijing in two months, just in time for the New Year.
So he gave the down jacket and the drawings of the kang and fire wall that Shi Qingluo had prepared for him to Liang Youxiao, and asked him to help take them back to the Fei family.
Shi Qingluo asked Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao: "Will you come again after the New Year?"
"I will definitely come back." After Xi Rong came to northern Xinjiang, she took in many homeless or abused girls as female soldiers.
A camp was specially built outside the suburbs of Heyang County for the training and living of these women.
While she was back in Beijing, she asked Shi Qingluo to help look after her.
So after the New Year she will come back to continue developing her career.
She added, "I will be back immediately after spending the New Year with my Imperial Grandmother and Imperial Uncle."
It’s still interesting in Heyang County.
If it weren't for the purpose of going back to spend the New Year with her grandmother and uncle, she wouldn't have wanted to return to the capital.
These days, Xi Rui also followed Xiao Hanzheng and Liang Youxiao to do things, or followed Shi Qing to run around the village.
He felt it was very hard and boring at first, but gradually he found that he had accomplished something and saw the grateful looks on the faces of the people, and he actually developed a sense of accomplishment.
Following Shi Qingluo into the village, he was quite disgusted with this and that at first, but gradually he got used to it.
He especially fell in love with mechanical manufacturing, and when he had nothing to do, he would go to the workshop to learn from craftsmen.
Because I had to go back to Beijing these days, I didn't run around with him anymore, and he was not used to it.
He smiled and said, “Then we must come back!”
Although staying in Heyang County was a bit hard, his life was definitely more fulfilling than being a playboy in the capital.
Liang Youxiao also smiled and said, "Heyang County is now my second home, and I will definitely come back."
"We can just wait until the weather warms up and then go south from Heyang County."
He made a lot of money by selling canned fruits, and it was all thanks to Shi Qingluo.
He had already decided to stick with her.
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Okay, then be careful on your way, and welcome back after the New Year!"
They talked for a while and then set off back to Beijing.
The main reason was that they had been away for so long in the first year, and they all missed their families, and they also wanted to go back and let everyone see their changes.
Besides, if I go back now, I can show off my kang and fire wall and get noticed, that's why I want to go back early so urgently.
After the three people left, the county government office became much quieter.
Next, Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo began to focus on promoting kangs in the county.
The county government specially formed several teams to make kangs, led by craftsmen from the county government, to make kangs everywhere.
The county government will pay the wages. The family who wants to build a kang only needs to prepare the materials. The materials are just some adobe bricks, and the cost is not high.
The wealthy can prepare some blue bricks, and for those who work extra, they can just provide three meals a day.
Almost every household in the county has a kang, and the people are much warmer at home than in previous years, and they are all more grateful to Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.
Then the team that made the kang went to nearby villages to help, and gradually expanded to remote villages.
Then people in many places in northern Xinjiang knew that there was a kind of kang in Heyang County, which was very warm as long as it was placed in the room and was not expensive.
So those who have the means began to inquire about it, wanting to buy one for their own home.
The reputation of Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo spread again in the northern border.
