In fact, "winter is getting closer and closer" does not suddenly make people feel it. At least at the beginning, Su Qingluan himself didn't have any obvious feelings.
Although various changes had taken place around her, which made her realize that the weather was indeed getting colder, the rhythm of life did not change much until Su Xuanhe's school announced the suspension of classes.
The reason for the suspension of classes is simple. Master Zhou took all precautions and fell down on the way to class. The exact extent of the injury is unclear. I only heard that he broke a bone and needed to stay in bed for a long time.
In fact, in addition to Master Zhou, there are two other old masters in the school who occasionally come to teach as substitutes. But the other two took leave at the beginning of winter.
What's more, even if they don't take leave, the two of them are already in their sixties, and no one dares to take the risk of letting two old men who walk tremblingly teach students in the snow and ice when the roads are cold and slippery.
Whether they are good at teaching or not is another matter. If something happens to the two little old men, it is estimated that there will be problems whether the entire school can continue to operate.
Of course, Master Zhou is a different matter. One reason is that he is in his prime, and the other reason is that he can start a new business at any time - after all, the fundamental reason for the existence of this school is because of Master Zhou's reputation. After all, he is a genuine official. It's always different in everyone's mind.
Although he was at home on vacation, Master Zhou assigned a lot of homework and said he would wait until next spring for random inspections to resume.
Naturally, some of the students have parents who are illiterate, so they can just fool around. But the Su family couldn't. Su Xuanhe knew that others could fool him, but he also had a powerful eldest sister.
Su Qingluan also came from the student days, and there were times when he was unwilling to do homework. On the last day of winter and summer vacation, "a pen, a lamp, a miracle", so when I saw Su Xuanhe's eyes rolling around, I knew that he was worried. What the hell idea.
"I can tell you Su Xiaoer," Su Qingluan glanced at his younger brother sideways, "Even if I don't know the specific content of your homework now, it is essential to practice calligraphy and study every day. I advise you to put your homework Tell me the content in detail, otherwise I will always know and you will be rewarded by it!"
Su Qingluan didn't shout at the top of her neck in a very loud voice, nor did she say anything particularly scary. Even her tone was very calm. But it made Su Xuanhe tremble. Inexplicably, classmate Su Xiaoer recalled in his mind the image of his sister neatly beating the head of a fish, cutting off the neck of a chicken, and removing the leg of lamb.
Cruel, so cruel! Su Xuanhe trembled all over, and obediently recounted the lessons assigned to him by Master Zhou.
Master Zhou's school is a private school, with students ranging in age from around 20 to six or seven years old like Su Xuanhe - Su Xuanhe is considered the youngest.
According to different ages and different progress, Master Zhou gave everyone different lessons.
For example, those who are twelve or thirteen years old should start learning the Four Books and Five Classics, which are relatively difficult.
But for a kid like Su Xuanhe, who has just started to learn, let alone write poetry, and even doesn't know all the Chinese characters, the textbooks are short, concise and easy-to-understand content like "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic", so that he can read Chinese characters. as the top priority.
As for those who are older, such as sixteen or seventeen, they even have to study "Historical Records" and "Warring States Policy", because if they want to really participate in the scientific examination, they also need to learn policy theory.
Of course, this is too far for Su Xuanhe, who is only seven years old. The most important thing for him now is to learn all the commonly used characters and write big characters every day.
As the weather became colder, Su Xueyan and Su Xuanhe became increasingly unable to stay in the house without turning on the fire for cooking.
In fact, since the second time the road froze and it was inconvenient for everyone to go out, the Su family has slowly made various efforts to keep out the cold. For example, the wooden lattice windows that could have been propped up were covered with dark fine cloth strips. If it's stained with glue, only open the door to ventilate it when the weather is the best and warmest every day, such as noon and sunny afternoon.
For example, the kitchen room that originally had no door finally had a wooden door - otherwise Su Guangfu said that every year after the cold weather when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, the water tank for pickling sauerkraut, the water tank for collecting water, and some other liquids Food and condiment storage containers are prone to bursting due to too cold weather, and a lot of containers and ingredients were wasted in the past.
Later, Su Guangfu pressed the door frame and the corresponding mortise and tenon joints on the door frame of the kitchen door, but did not install the door panel. It was placed in the warehouse behind the yard. It was put away in the spring every year and installed again in the winter. It could also be taken out separately as a pawn. Partitions or other uses, focusing on flexibility.
In addition, Yang gave each of Su Xuanhe and Su Qingluan an extra temporary "Tang Pozi" every night - the reason why it is said to be "temporary" is because this is not a real Tang Pozi, but an idle earthen pot at home. Acting as Tang Pozi.
The reason for this is that there are no extra soup pots in the house. Another more important point is that the two soup pots not only greatly increase the heating effect, but also greatly reduce the rate of heat loss. In this way, even the next morning, the two soup pots will All "Tangbozi" are still warm.
Every time Su Qingluan saw Mrs. Tang's anatomy, she said to herself that fortunately, the children of the Su family all slept in a more "peaceful" manner. Otherwise, if they were the kind who did a 180-degree Thomas rotation when they fell asleep, let's not Asked if pouring hot water on his face would cause burns, he would probably get a hard burn the next day if he was not careful.
After all, if the quilt is kicked over, in this kind of room where the heating is definitely not up to standard, there is no heating tool, and coupled with the hypothermia caused by sleep, it is probably a question whether you can survive until the next morning.
Even though the whole family came up with various ways to keep warm, the two little guys still often had cold hands from the cold. Seeing that the two of them started to have runny noses all morning again, Su Qingluan thought to herself: These two little guys have been drinking continuously. I ate steamed pears with medicine and it took me a long time to stop coughing. What if I catch a cold again?
We can’t add any more clothes, after all, cotton-padded clothes are already the warmest clothes in this era.
There is no need to think about earth dragons, wall heaters, etc. Not to mention that Su Jiada did not meet the economic conditions. Even if there was such a sum of money in the future, there would be no relevant craftsmen and locations here - after all, that thing takes up space.
There is no other way, we still need to use the most basic biological magic properties - if we are upright, we must tremble to resist the cold.
This was no joke. Su Qingluan herself couldn't stand the cold these days, so she decided to take up the morning jog she had been doing for a long time in her previous life - of course, taking her whole family with her.
Anyway, the weather is getting colder now, and Su Guangfu's work of repairing the house and Yang's work of making gloves have basically come to an end. Instead of warming up around the charcoal pot and shivering from the cold at home, it is better to exercise every morning. Not only is it warm, but it also promotes blood circulation and is good for health.
You don't have to sit in the house all day long warming up the brazier and accumulating food.
So on this day, people in Huaxi Village saw Su Mujiang's family, led by their eldest daughter, running in a wide circle around the village's paths while shouting weird slogans.
