Chapter 270 Solar Stove



Chapter 270 Sunshine

After a tiring day, Lin Shu had no time to think about random things. She felt relaxed lying on the warm kang at night. She listened to Tiantian, Xiaoyou and Zhan Jiali whispering a few words, and fell asleep quickly. The next day, she was awakened by the crowing of the big cock.

It was like a choir, with harmony.

Tiantian was woken up and couldn't help but lie on the window, blowing on the glass window, wiping off the frost on it, and threatened the cockerel outside: "If you yell again, I'll make a stew with you!"

Zhan Jiali also went up to take a look, "This cockerel is in good shape, and the meat must be plump."

Xu Xiaoyou smiled and said, "No, this cockerel is Mianmian's favorite, it can't be killed."

Mianmian likes pretty ones, and this cockerel is pretty. Because of Mianmian's love, it has survived Fang Dihua's knife several times.

Before, Lin Shu brought the children home, Lin Xia and Jiang Weidong also brought Mianmian over, and Fang Dihua wanted to kill this cockerel and stew it, but Mianmian liked it and didn't let her kill it.

This time when Mianmian came over, Fang Dihua wanted to kill it again and feed it to Mianmian and Kuai Kuai, but Mianmian saved its life again.

Tiantian turned her head to look at Mianmian and Kuai Kuai who were sleeping soundly with their heads tilted back. They were not affected by the big cock at all.

Both children can sleep through the night now. Kuai Kuai doesn't even need to pee at night, and Mianmian will pee once or twice.

Inspired by feminine hygiene products, Mrs. Jiang sewed a number of wearable diapers for Mianmian. They were multi-layered, hollow, and filled with thick wood ash. When she peed, she could just tear them off and change to another one.

The next day after the urine was wet, the ash was poured out, washed and dried, and then filled with dry ash.

It looked similar to the non-wet diapers of later generations, but it was not very leak-proof, so Mianmian slept on oil felt cloth.

Tiantian was curious and couldn't help but take one to try it on herself, "Mom, why didn't I have it when I was a child?"

Lin Shu: "When you were a child, your grandparents took turns to take care of you, and held your diapers in the first half of the night and the second half of the night." Tiantian

: "Oh, then my grandparents were too hard."

She put on her clothes and went to the next door to find grandparents to kiss her.

Fang Dihua and the others got up and prepared to kill pigs today.

However, the incense factory and the clothing factory had to wait until the New Year to stop. It was not that the brigade did not want to stop, but that the members did not want to stop. After all, the more they made, the more they sold, and that was all money.

Therefore, the eldest and second brothers Lu were not needed to kill pigs, they had to continue to work.

Lu Ping took his younger brothers

to make arrangements. Fang Dihua asked Lu Ping to ride his bike to the commune to find Jing's father to help kill pigs. She had asked him when she went to the commune to gather.

Although Hu Zi's father and Deng Da Laba in the village can also kill pigs, their skills are average, and sometimes there will be blood clots in the pork, affecting the quality of the meat.

The key is that the old Jing family is a relative, right?

Everyone likes to take care of the business of relatives. They

don't get paid for killing pigs, but they will be provided with pig-killing dishes and two pounds of meat to take away.

Just then, someone called from the commune, asking if Lin Shu had returned. If she had, she asked her to come to the commune to discuss the commune furniture factory.

Even if the Qizhou department store did not place orders from them, the Tan Carpenter Brigade alone could not handle the orders from the Revolutionary Committee's family compound.

Tan Carpenter Village was the brigade with the most carpenters in the commune. Old Tan, three other carpenters with good skills, and his sons and nephews who had learned to a good degree, totaled less than fifteen people.

In order to ensure the shipment volume, fifteen people alone would definitely not be enough, so the commune had to organize a larger factory.

The secretary of Tan Carpenter's Brigade went to the commune to talk to the section chief in charge of his section, who then submitted the matter to the Revolutionary Committee for discussion.

This year is Director Qin's fourth year in the Fighting Commune. He will be promoted next year. In order to leave a good start for his successor, he decided to start the preparations for the furniture factory.

The successor can continue to develop along the direction he set before.

Director Qin does not want his successor to change the previous brigade factory policy and treatment. Some tax and tax exemption policies must continue to be implemented. They cannot kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Once the furniture factory of the Fighting Commune is established, all the skilled carpenters in the commune can be summoned to concentrate production, which is naturally more efficient than fighting alone, and can also generate income for the commune.

Of course, if a factory wants to generate income, it is not enough to simply make good products. It also needs good government policy support, capable factory leaders at the helm, responsible and hardworking employees to cooperate, and products that can be sold in time and quickly paid.

All of these are indispensable.

Many factories are now in a loss-making state. There are many specific reasons. The biggest problem is that the factory leaders are corrupt and nepotistic. The key is that the products remain unchanged and there is no innovation.

However, the two factories run by the Lujiazhuang Brigade have always been profitable, and even profitable as soon as they opened.

The original Angora rabbits and hemp planting have also begun to generate income for the brigade, and there are also high-end medicinal liquors with uncertain production. This made Director Qin see the leadership of the cadres of the Lujiazhuang Brigade.

He wanted to find a capable and upright director for the commune furniture factory, who had foresight, courage and the ability to get things done.

He had his eyes on Lin Shu, but he knew that Lin Shu would definitely not agree, because Director Sun of the Health Bureau of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee had previously invited Lin Shu to work in the Eugenics Office, but Lin Shu declined.

He had talked about this with Secretary Jing and others, and Secretary Jing smiled and said that Lin Shu definitely didn't want to go to work. She

has a husband who can make money, and she also has her own abilities. She can make money without going to work, and live an easy and comfortable life. Why should she go to work and be controlled and annoyed by others?

He felt that Lin Shu was not the kind of person who had the desire to control power, so he tactfully poured cold water on Director Qin.

Besides, her husband is an official in the provincial capital. How could he and his wife live separately to let you be the director of a furniture factory?

Lin Shu asked Lu Ping to take her to the commune. Lu Ping went to find Jing's father, while she went to the office of the Revolutionary Committee.

Secretary Jing was waiting at the door. When she saw her coming, she immediately greeted her warmly, "Sister-in-law, are you cold?"

Lin Shu pulled down her scarf, which was covered with a circle of white frost from her breath. She smiled and said, "Not bad."

The two walked and talked, and Lin Shu congratulated Secretary Jing on the birth of her baby.

Secretary Jing got married at the beginning of this year, and the object was introduced by Director Qin.

Director Qin will be promoted next year, and he will also be transferred.

When she entered the office, Director Qin had just finished talking to someone, and he personally poured Lin Shu a cup of hot tea and asked her to hold it to warm her hands.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Secretary Qin, congratulations on your promotion. Don't forget us when you go to other places."

Director Qin: "No matter where I go, I will serve the people. As long as you need me, I will do my best."

This was a beautiful statement, and Lin Shu complimented him a few more times.

Director Qin was not exaggerating. After all, part of his achievements were due to the Lujiazhuang Brigade.

He took out several documents and reports for Lin Shu to see, and did not ask whether Lin Shu could understand them. He assumed that she could read them.

After all, she had such a strong ability to learn by herself. From not having studied for two years to writing articles for newspapers and finding secret recipes to lead members to wealth from various books, it was all a skill.

Lin Shu looked at it for a while and said happily, "Secretary Qin, has our furniture factory been approved?"

Director Qin smiled and said, "Approval is not difficult. The key is whether it can be stable, big and strong."

Knowing that the commune was going to open a furniture factory, many people came to him to test the waters and wanted to work in the furniture factory as an official. Section

Chief Song was about to retire, and he wanted to be the factory director. There were also several people who wanted to compete for the deputy factory director, workshop director, and even wanted to arrange a team leader, driver, salesperson, and other jobs for their relatives.

Director Qin blocked them all.

A factory hasn't even opened yet, and a group of people have already made reservations to come and take advantage of it. Is there any need to open this factory?

By then, the benefits will be divided up, and no one will take responsibility. The work will get worse and worse, and it will go bankrupt in less than two years.

He wanted to talk to Lin Shu today and listen to her opinions.

Lin Shu was quite surprised. She didn't expect Director Qin to think so highly of her. Although she was quite enthusiastic and easy-going before, she didn't think so highly of her, right?

Could it be that Director Qin had put a filter on her that

gave her the right to speak without her knowing? It was probably the influence of her living in the Revolutionary Committee's family compound for a while.

Lin Shu didn't hesitate to talk about the problems in the documents.

Director Qin listened carefully, and after chatting for a while, he asked, "Do you have any good recommendations for factory directors?"

Lin Shu: "Me? I wonder if Director Qin has any good ones?"

Director Qin has been in the Fighting Commune for four years. He has a deep understanding of the section chiefs and cadres of the Revolutionary Committee, and knows a lot about the cadres of the brigades. He should have someone he likes.

Director Qin hesitated for a moment, "How is your eldest uncle?"

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Director Qin, my eldest brother doesn't like being a factory director, he just likes running around for business. In the future, he can also be in charge of the sales of the furniture factory, no problem."

Brother Lu is a natural salesman, he also loves to talk about business with people, of course he can talk about the technology of the product, but that is for selling to others, not for doing it.

To be a factory director, you must have comprehensive strength, it is best to know a little about administration, technology, sales, etc. If you don't know, at least you can use people.

Director Qin: "Where is your second brother?"

Lin Shu: "..."

Director Qin is going to fight with my family?

She understood instantly that this is because of Lu Shaotang's influence. If Lu Shaotang's brother is the factory director, others will naturally not dare to make things difficult.

She suggested: "Director Qin, what do you think of our brigade secretary? Our brigade secretary is really capable and courageous, and dares to let go, clearly defines responsibilities and does not interfere, and can also restrain employees to do their own jobs. You also know the Lu Shaocai family, right? My eldest cousin's family used to be lazy and hated work, but now everyone in the family earns wages."

Lu Jiazhuang Brigade Secretary has been re-elected for three terms, and it is time for him to retire. Since he is capable and can't sit idle, Lin Shu thinks it is better to continue to shine.

As for the technical director of the furniture factory, it must be Lao Tan.

Director Qin certainly knew that, after all, Lu Changfu was a veterinarian, and he would come to the commune to help. Zhao Meifeng raised pigs in the Lujiazhuang Brigade, and this year their brigade had handed in more pigs.

These two were among the advanced individuals reported by the Lujiazhuang Brigade.

Secretary Jing also said, "Secretary, Secretary Zhang is really good."

Director Qin had this intention long ago. He knew the performance of the Lujiazhuang Brigade very well, and the evaluation of the brigade secretary had always been excellent. He went to Lin Shu to test her intentions and see if she wanted one of her family members to be the secretary.

If she wanted to, he would still help her.

Now that she supports the secretary of the Lujiazhuang Brigade, it coincides with his intention, and makes him look up to her.

She is really not just seeking personal interests.

He had long intended to recommend Zhang Dexi to join the commune revolutionary committee to take over Song Bangyou's position, be in charge of the commune brigade's sideline business, and concurrently serve as the director of the commune furniture factory.

After the chat, Director Qin wanted to invite Lin Shu to dinner, but Lin Shu declined.

She said to Director Qin and Secretary Jing: "Secretary Qin, if you have time before the New Year, please visit our brigade and try our slaughtered pig dishes."

From now until the New Year, basically every day someone slaughters a pig, so he can have food no matter which day he goes.

Director Qin agreed, and asked Secretary Jing to give the prepared gifts to Lin Shu.

Two bottles of maltose, a few cans, a few bags of brown sugar, white sugar, and other things, and two buckets of tea.

Lin Shu couldn't refuse, so she had to carry them. They

were so heavy!

Thinking about how the brigade secretary always came to the commune to ask the director to do something, he would be so reluctant to give things away, and the medicinal wine was always given in small bottles, Lin Shu felt a little embarrassed.

Director Qin asked Secretary Jing to send her off, but Lin Shu said that her nephew was waiting outside and there was no need to send her off.

After watching Lin Shu leave on Lu Ping's bicycle, Director Qin turned to Secretary Jing and said, "Please organize Zhang Dexi's information and political achievements and submit them to the county revolutionary committee before the New Year."

Secretary Jing agreed and went to do it immediately.

Lin Shu and Lu Ping returned to the village, and many families in the village were killing pigs.

This was thanks to the invitation of Jing's father, otherwise Hu Zi's father and Deng Da Laba would not be able to handle it.

After killing pigs for the Lu family, Jing's father had to go to other families to do the butchering. Everyone knew that he was coming to the Lu family's farm today, so the families who had originally planned to kill pigs the next day or the day after tomorrow also hurriedly lined up to kill pigs.

His family learned Lin Shu's recipe for making salted pork and offal, and directly negotiated with people for or bought offal.

There was no shortage of meat when the pigs were killed during the Chinese New Year. Some families didn't like to clean up the dirty and smelly pig offal, so they directly gave him the large and small intestines. Since he didn't provide any meals, they gave him two pounds of meat and some bones.

Lin Shu asked Lu Ping to help carry the bag of gifts and told Fang Dihua that they were sent by Director Qin. She kept two of them for herself and asked Lu Ping to carry the rest with her to visit the brigade secretary, the brigade leader, the five-guarantee households in the village, and the old uncle who was over 80 years old and still alive. She said that they were sent by Secretary Qin of the commune. The

Lujiazhuang brigade has many side businesses. Director Qin likes to come to inspect and chat with the members. He has talked to the elderly people on the street who can't work in the fields.

Two of them are gone this year. The old man who is a few years younger than the old uncle passed away, and another old lady also passed away.

Hearing that Director Qin still cares about them, they are all happy to wipe tears.

The brigade secretary and the brigade leader of course know that they are not sent by Director Qin.

They went to the commune every day, but the secretary never gave them anything. So Lin Shu brought something when she went? It must be for her.

They didn't want it, but Lin Shu insisted, so they had to accept it.

Lin Shu didn't hide it, and told her that the commune intended to let the brigade secretary be the director of the commune furniture factory.

The brigade secretary looked at her in surprise, "Really?"

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Since Director Qin asked me to talk, there must be a reason, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned it."

She had already realized that Director Qin had already made up his mind, and asking her to talk was just to give face to her and Lu Shaotang.

Of course, if she really asked her eldest brother or second brother to be the director, he would agree, after all, the eldest brother and second brother were capable.

Although the brigade secretary was calm enough, his eyebrows still flew up, and he smiled and thanked her repeatedly.

He will have to retire next year. After retirement, he will no longer be a cadre of the brigade. He can no longer intervene in other matters except going to work. For a while, he was still quite depressed.

Now it's good, there is something big to do.

His originally depressed heart suddenly soared again.

The brigade leader was jealous and congratulated him repeatedly.

After Lin Shu left, the brigade leader said, "Brother, you have to drink a few cups, right?"

The brigade secretary patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't show off yet, let people know that you are gossiping." It's better to be safe than sorry.

If it doesn't work out, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

The team leader nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I won't say anything before the document comes down."

The team secretary: "Defa, you are also a party member, you have been in charge of our team for so long and you know everything. Originally, I retired because I recommended you to the commune to be the branch secretary, so you should be prepared."

"Really?"

Happiness came too suddenly, and the team leader was a little bit unbelievable.

Originally, he thought that the team secretary would definitely train his son and nephew to take over, and he also worked hard to train his own son and nephew to take over.

Many people... do this.

But now there is a sideline for the team, right? The

children of both families work in the perfume factory and the clothing factory, especially the team leader's son Zhang Guiqi, who now also leads people to deliver goods alone, and gets an extra share of dividends.

That money must be much more than the team leader.

Both of them couldn't help but sigh. Ever since Lin Shu took the lead in helping the Lu family start a sideline business in the brigade, the situation in their brigade has been getting better and better.

The members who were originally thinking about competing for brigade cadres and production team cadres have also stopped thinking about it and are determined to join the team to run a factory and make money.

The members who were originally lazy and slacked off when they went to the fields heard that the brigade-run factory only requires hard work, so now everyone can be hardworking and contribute. Even

if they didn't join the team to run a factory, each family can still raise rabbits and process hemp ropes and twine. Some people have learned to sell skins and specialize in selling rabbit skins for members. Some members have also learned to process rabbit hair for spinning wool and beating felt.

The finished products can be sold to the supply and marketing cooperative or to Lin Shu, and both can make money.

They all felt the power of "as long as you work hard, you can make money", so now there are really no lazy people in the Lujiazhuang team.

The Lu family killed two pigs this year, but they didn't prepare the pig offal themselves, so Jing's father took them away. He went back to clean up the brine and sent brine to the Lu and Lin families.

Jing's father was in a hurry to go home to deal with the pig offal, and didn't stay at the Lu family for dinner. He took two large buckets of pig offal and a few pieces of meat and left on his bicycle.

In the afternoon, when the Lu family was preparing the pig slaughtering dishes, Lin Yue came over on a bicycle with Bao'er. There was a big grass carp and two big black fish hanging on the handlebars, and Bao'er was carrying his linen schoolbag.

This morning, Panpan and Tiantian called Lin's mother on the computer and asked her to send Baoer to stay for a few days.

Children like to hang out together, and the more people they like and who like them, the

better. Even if they make noise and fight when they are together, it doesn't matter, they will make up later.

As soon as Baoer came in, Panpan and the others took him away to play, and they hadn't even been escorted into the main house yet.

Lin Shu was putting the salted pork ingredients into the gauze, and when she saw Lin Yue, she asked, "Where's Caixian? Why didn't she come with us?"

Lin Yue smiled and said, "She was afraid that I would fall on the way, so she refused to come. She said she would come next time when she could walk."

Jing Caixian's belly was big, so it was inconvenient for her to ride a bike, and she was afraid of falling on the slippery road in cold weather when she took a car, so she walked to her mother's house and took an ox cart or donkey cart.

Lin Shu also asked about her parents, aunt, second uncle and others, and Lin Yue said yes.

It must be good now. Aunt Lin and her daughter-in-law are raising rabbits and weeding hemp at home. Uncle Lin and Brother Lin are working as construction workers in Qizhou to earn money. They are much more comfortable than before.

Second Uncle and Second Aunt are now well fed and clothed, because Second Uncle was called by Lin Xia to work with the county construction team and left his name with the clerk. He is always called for work later, so he can also earn cash.

Second Uncle and Second Aunt have always wanted to adopt a child, either a boy or a girl, and a girl can have a live-in son-in-law.

Lin Yue: "My mother is very concerned about this. She has mobilized many people to help keep an eye out for suitable children. If there is one, they will adopt one. She also asked my sisters to help my second uncle keep an eye out for abandoned children. If

there is one, they can adopt one." Lin Shu used a long-handled spoon to stir the salt bag into the pot. "Adopting a child depends on fate. Don't be impatient."

Raising a child is different from raising a cat or dog, and it is also different from finding a partner.

Partners can break up and divorce, but once you start having a child, you must be responsible for it to the end.

This is not something that happens overnight. It is a long-term, uninterrupted entanglement year after year.

If you don't raise the child well and he makes trouble again, then the trouble will be entangled for the rest of your life.

You have no choice but to endure if you are your biological child, but if you are adopted, you will inevitably feel resentment and would rather not have raised him/her in the first place.

She meant that it was better not to raise a disabled child. My second aunt had some problems herself, and it would be even more difficult for the old couple to raise a disabled child.

It was not appropriate for the parents to live nearby, especially for the daughters lost in the family that favored boys over girls. Such children were more suitable to be taken away by outsiders, raised by the locals, and kept by them until they were able to work and get married, and then they would come back to exchange the gifts for their son.

Lin Yue remembered it and told his mother about it when he returned.

Lin Yue didn't see Lu Shaotang, so he asked his brother-in-law when he would have a holiday.

Lin Shu said calmly, "He's on a business trip."

She didn't say anything specific and Lin Yue didn't ask more. Anyway, my third brother-in-law's job has always been like this, so it's not good to ask more.

After dinner, Lin Yue went back first, leaving Baoer here to play with his brothers and sisters.

Everyone thought Hou Jianwen would be able to come back before the New Year, but he didn't arrive at Lujiazhuang until the 25th of February.

Panpan, Tiantian and the other kids were playing skating battle on a flat place at the street corner when they saw Hou Jianwen striding over with a bag in one hand.

Seeing him, Hou Wei excitedly stamped his feet and shouted, "Dad!"

Panpan and Tiantian also walked over, only to see that the uncle was carrying a bag in his left hand and a strange-looking iron box in his right hand?

Tiantian smiled and said, "Uncle looks so good."

Panpan: "I noticed too, uncle looks so energetic, like a few years younger. Does that brigade provide so many support? Let our great grandma go and try it."

Hou Jianwen laughed when he heard it. After greeting the children, he raised the iron box in his right hand and said, "This is the solar stove we have successfully researched. Do you want to see it?"

Hu Zi and other children didn't understand what they were talking about, but they did not delay joining in the fun and all clamored to see it.

Hou Bo and Lu An followed Lu Ping and Xiu Xiu to help Lin Shu at home. They were making bacon at home. Rabbits, chickens, ducks, pork, and sausages were hung on two large racks, and pine and cypress branches were burning there for smoking.

They heard their younger brothers and sisters outside calling that their uncle had returned, so they hurried out to see. They

just happened to bring Hou Jianwen, who was surrounded by the children, in.

"Mom, I want to use the roasting kettle. My uncle wants to show us the solar stove." Pan Pan ran into the house to find the roasting kettle.

The sun was shining today, just right for the solar stove.

Sister Lin went to take Hou Jianwen's bag, took out the dirty clothes and threw them aside, then went back to heat water to wash them, and took the rest into the house.

Panpan and the others followed Hou Jianwen to work, preparing the empty space and the blackened roasting pot.

They saw that their own roasting pot and the bottom of the small aluminum pot were black, which was perfect.

Lin Shu and the others smoked meat in the northwest corner of the yard. Although the incense factory was closed, they were afraid that the smell would spread to the incense factory and mix up the smell.

She also went to take a look, and saw her brother-in-law open the metal box, take out some parts from it and assemble them, and finally took out an iron folding tripod, unfolded it, and assembled the parts piece by piece, and finally a satellite TV cooker came out?

Oh, a solar stove.

Lin Shu was secretly surprised, her brother-in-law was amazing!

In her previous life, she needed to understand a wide range of knowledge to shoot videos, including exploring various ancient and modern handicrafts. Of course,

she had never made a solar stove, but when she went to the countryside to shoot videos, she had filmed solar water heaters and solar stoves, and she also learned about the hot box solar stoves that appeared in the mid-1970s.

This should be a concentrating solar stove, right?

Hou Jianwen happily introduced the assembly, maintenance and safety precautions of the solar stove to them. He became more and more excited as he spoke. "We originally used mirror reflection, which was inefficient, unsafe and of poor quality. Now we have changed to a new model and it is much better."

This is their first invention, and they can apply for research funds from the country and win awards.

After assembling it, Hou Jianwen reminded them, "Don't stare at it, turn your eyes away."

He turned the solar stove to face the sun, and the children immediately cried out, "It's so dazzling!"

Hou Bo brought over the burning pot filled with water, and Hou Jianwei took it and put it on the top shelf. He also told everyone that they could move the position of the burning pot up and down to adjust the firepower.

The firepower is strongest when the light spot is the smallest and directly hits the bottom of the pot.

Old Lady Jiang and Grandma Fang also came to watch.

Old Lady Jiang held Kuai Kuai tightly, fearing that he would move over and make a mess. This child's hands were quicker than his brain.

Mianmian, wearing a big red cotton jacket, stood next to Tiantian and looked uninterested. She thought this thing was dazzling, but not as beautiful as sparkling.

She rubbed her little face against her sister to block the glare.

Tiantian took her aside.

Old Lady Jiang: "Jianwen, how long will it take to burn?"

Hou Jianwen looked up at the sun, "Grandma, it will take about two hours with such sunshine. In summer, it will only take a few minutes."

"Wow, it's amazing!"

The children were all shocked.

The adults were supposed to be working, but the children were just staring at the pot.

Panpan, Xu Xiaoyou, Zhan Jiali and Hou Bo were particularly focused, and even asked Hou Jianwen what ingredients this was and how that was made.

Seeing that the children were well behaved and would not make trouble, Lin Shu went to see the smoked meat.

The team-run factory was on holiday, and Xiuxiu started to learn cooking from her again, and Lu Ping also learned to smoke meat.

The brother and sister helped, and Lin Shu gave instructions, and the smoked meat was done well.

The children's exclamations continued to erupt over in the yard.

"Smoke!"

"It's coming out, it's coming out!"

"It's going to open, it's going to open!"

"Ah - it's opening!"

The smoked meat was almost done, so Lin Shu and the others ran over to see.

Even Fang Dihua, Aunt Li, and Mrs. Qiu who went to Jin Ping'er's house to discuss things were called in.

Doctor Shao and Old Man Lu were taken to the county by Doctor Yan for a gathering early in the morning, so they were not at home.

Looking at a dazzling... pot in the middle of the yard, with a bubbling pot on top, although they didn't know what it was, they all knew that the pot of water... was boiling!

Aunt Li was very excited, "This is a treasure, how much firewood can be saved with this?"

Mrs. Qiu splashed cold water on him: "You can't heat the kang, right?"

Aunt Li: "What kang can we heat in summer? This big pot is used to heat water and steam buns. It keeps well."

She wanted to buy one for her family, so she urged Second Aunt to ask how much it cost.

Hou Jianwen smiled and said: "Aunt, this is prepared for the poor areas. The land there is poor and the crop stalks are not enough to burn. But in the mountainous areas with good sunshine, we can use solar stoves for them."

Aunt Li was quite regretful and said to Fang Dihua: "Second Aunt, if the family is not short of money and often goes out, it would be convenient to buy one."

Fang Dihua's heart moved. Yes, wouldn't it be just right for the third child?

Lao San and Chen Yanming are always on business trips, so it would be nice to bring one with them when they go out into the wild.

She doesn't need to buy it, this one was given to her by Hou Jianwen.

Aunt Li also came over to ask if they could install one at home.

Hou Jianwen: "For our family use, we can just make something simpler and cheaper, and it doesn't need to be foldable."

They also make round pots with mirrors in the mountains, which are cheap and simple. He gave this one specifically to Lu Shaotang, and several other colleagues took them to their workplaces.

They want to distribute this newly invented folding model to field workers, geological prospectors, troops doing field training, etc.

As for Lu Jiazhuang, he thinks it's unnecessary, as there is enough firewood.

If someone really wants it, he's willing to help, after all, some people just like new things, and it's worth encouraging.

The children are more curious, especially Panpan. He asked for the method after hearing from his uncle that he could make it with simple materials.

If he could make one by himself, it would be a very fulfilling thing!

These children have always been very executive. They study when they are curious and take action when they want to do it.

Hou Jianwen taught the children with real objects and gave them a physics and mathematics class, such as focusing, reflection, mirror, rotational parabola, etc.

Zhan Jiali and Lu Ping learned some knowledge and it was easier to understand. Panpan and Tiantian, who did not learn, had to refer to the real objects to understand. And Hu Zi couldn't understand it at all. A mirror is a mirror, a pot is a pot, and they just couldn't understand that a mirror plus a pot can become a solarium.

If the children want to make solar lanterns, they can go to Qizhou after school starts. Hou Jianwen promised to take them to the machinery factory to teach them on site.
