Chapter 846: Everyone is gathering firewood and the flames are high.
"Let Jin Chu and Song Han sleep with us tonight. Mom, you and Lin Quan can each take care of two children, so we can live here." Xu Wanning said.
But Lin's mother rejected her Suggested, "The room you and Anzi share is small, and the bed is even smaller, so the two children won't be able to sleep comfortably if they sleep with you. In the evening, Quanquan and I took Jin Chuchu and Nian to sleep in the larger room, while Songhan, Xu Ning and Chu Lin Gengming slept in the small room
. Jin Chuchu was seven or eight years old after the New Year.
In ancient times, it was a rule that men and women should sit on separate tables at the age of seven. Now there are no such rules, but as children get older, they still need to be taught the difference between men and women early on.
Starting education from young children is also easier for them to accept.
Xu Wanning thought for a while and agreed.
Although Geng Ming is only over two years old, he is already able to sleep on his own, not to mention being accompanied by his three brothers. Xu Wanning is not worried at all.
"By the way, Mom, I have something else I want to discuss with you,
" you said
. "I just proposed that the villagers come to our house for dinner tomorrow. Not only to thank them for helping us protect the house, but also for another reason. I want to ask the folks to help me build a new house for our family before the Chinese New Year.
"What?" Mother Lin asked in surprise: "You want to build a new house?"
Xu Wanning nodded: "Before going to Beijing, didn't we already discuss building a new house? " But the trip to Beijing City was too hasty, so we left Ojiang Village before we had time to finish our trip. Anyway, there are still about ten days left before the Chinese New Year. If we find more people to help, we can completely build it.
But Mother Lin hesitated: "You said, we live in Beijing all year round, so we only come back when you have time on vacation." A few days ago, the old house was completely adequate for living, and there was no need to build a new one. Isn’t this a waste of money?
“It’s one thing if you can’t live in it, but it’s another thing if you can’t build a house.” Although our family lives in Beijing on weekdays, Dajiang Village is our root, and we always come back to stay for a few days every year. The old house is made of rammed earth and is almost old. We can't suddenly come back one day and have no place to live, right?
"Mom, I think my sister-in-law is right. We have to build this house, if for no other reason than to remind us all the time that Dajiang Village is our root. " If one day in the future we can no longer survive in Beijing and return to Dajiang Village, we won’t have no place to stay.
How could Mother Lin not know what the children are thinking?
Talking about wanting a place to stay, to put it bluntly, it was just to satisfy her, an old woman. An Ning and Tsuen Tsuen were just trying to make her happy!
Although Lin An didn't say a word, his expression and attitude proved that he supported Xu Wanning.
"Mom, what do you think?"
"It's up to you, it's all up to you. But this house is for our family to live in, and we can't let you pay all the money to build the house. I also made some money at the tailor shop. "Although I don't earn as much as you, I can still spend a hundred yuan.
" I also spent a hundred yuan and said to Xu Wanning: "Sister-in-law, I still have to save money for you to buy a courtyard house. Now I have My working capital is only a little over 100 yuan. Can I take 100 yuan?"
"Of course, Lin An and I will make up for the rest. When the house is built, I will still have Chu Nian and Chu Nian. Lin, everyone has a room
. Xu Wanning did not refuse the money given by Lin's mother and Lin Quan.
She was not short of two hundred yuan, but the life of the family would be better if they worked together.
She also didn't like things . She took care of everything herself, everyone worked hard, and no one complained.
Even if she and Lin An had a big deal, she was happy with it.
When Lin An saw that all the important matters were discussed, she stood up and said, "I'll go. Get some water and find a way to get some firewood back. It's too cold at night, and I can't sleep without a brazier
. Yes, in the three northeastern provinces at night, you actually have to light a brazier to sleep.
Xu Wanning laughed in her heart.
She once again scolded the author of the book in her mind for not being rigorous enough in writing the book. The setting was already in the coldest black province in China. She didn't even provide a kang, and she still slept on a wooden bed!
How can I stay up at night in such a cold weather?
"I'll go with you.
"No, I can do it alone. You have a good rest.
"I'm not tired.
" "If you're not tired, just have a good rest."
The two of them passed the buck for a while, but neither one could convince the other. In the end, it was Mother Lin who made the final decision. : "Let Anzi go alone. As the only man in the family, he has to shoulder the responsibility of being the mainstay. Anzi, you are a girl. You can't let the cold enter your body. It's better to bear it when you get older. Well, there are some things where you shouldn't be too aggressive, you know? "
Xu Wanning is not trying to be aggressive, she just feels sorry for Lin An and wants to use the cheating artifact of space to get more firewood.
But Lin An didn't have a spiritual connection with her and didn't understand her thoughts.
In fact, how did Xu Wanning know? It wasn't that Lin An didn't know what she was thinking, but that he was reluctant to let Xu Wanning go out in the cold.
Lin An put on his military coat and leather boots. As soon as he opened the courtyard door, he found several villagers standing at the door of his house. One of them raised his right hand, preparing to knock on the door.
"I was about to knock on the door, but you opened the door. Anzi, please open the door quickly and let us carry the things in.
Lin An didn't know what was going on, but he still turned aside in confusion and let a few villagers pass the so-called He carried the things into the house.
Then he saw three braziers and several bundles of firewood.
“When it didn’t snow before, we chopped a lot of firewood and brought back your share. But there has been no one in your house. We were worried that someone might cause trouble and throw sparks into the firewood pile and set the house on fire. That would cause serious problems, so we put the firewood in the brigade.
"The brigade leader just went back and said He said that you were back, so we hurriedly carried the firewood. Today we only took part of it. We will gather a few more people tomorrow to bring the firewood back at once.
"Don't look at the firewood, but it's not much. It's enough for you to use for one night. Oh, by the way, these three braziers belong to the brigade. The captain has said that they will be given to you first. You don't have to be polite.
Harlin's mother looked at the busy people and winked at Xu Wanning.
Xu Wanning also wants to make tea for everyone, preferably some sugar water.
But the problem is, there is no water in the house, and there is no stove to heat hot water.
So, Xu Wanning opened the package of snacks again, grabbed a handful of milk candies and fruit candies for everyone, and also gave everyone a pack of biscuits brought back from Beijing.
