The next day.
Lu Yuan stretched out on the bed.
The temperature in the room is now extremely comfortable, about twenty-eight or nine degrees.
It's so cool.
After Lu Yuan opened his eyes, he came to the kitchen to eat in a small sweatshirt.
I thought about what I should do today.
After eating, Lu Yuan got dressed and walked out.
As soon as I went out today, I saw many people in the courtyard nailing doors and windows.
That is to say, nail the entire window with a layer of plastic film on the outside.
In this way, the heat in the house will not escape, and less cold air will enter the home in the cold winter.
Lu Yuan glanced at it and ignored it. This thing had nothing to do with his family.
After all, you have to open the windows of your home every day to get some fresh air.
Before Lu Yuan left, he took out a small half bag of coal from the kitchen, walked to the burner of the fire pit, and poured the small half bag of coal in at once.
This morning, his wife added some coal. Looking at what his wife added, Lu Yuan sighed a little.
My wife still has to do the housework. This morning, my wife poured in coal, and the temperature in the house was the most comfortable.
Su Liyan was really good at doing housework, even if Mrs. Gao Xu came to do it, she couldn't find any fault.
And this Lu Yuan was fully dressed and was about to go out and burn coal. This made many aunts in the backyard frown and say:
"Are you burning coal even when you're not at home?"
Lu Yuan looked back at the group of aunts and smiled:
"Yes, the house will still be warm when you come back like this. Otherwise, you have to relight the fire when you come back. How troublesome it would be."
Many aunts were speechless for a while.
Is this still troublesome? !
How lazy is Lu Yuan! !
Isn't it a waste to burn coal when people are not at home during the day?
No one was too lazy to talk about Lu Yuan.
Anyway, this unscrupulous guy has a lot of money in his hands and has to make a lot of money. He is not a person who lives a good life.
Just wait, wait until all his money is spent...
Everyone just wanted to think about it like this, but then they thought about it again and realized that this idea... It seems that everyone has been thinking this way since before.
What's the result...
This boy's life is becoming more and more comfortable as time goes by! !
When everyone entered Lu Yuan's house yesterday, they also saw four large meat boxes in lunch boxes on the table in the main hall.
This kid really eats white noodles every day now and eats meat every meal.
He is really envious of everyone.
Lu Yuan led the horse to the front yard and saw Chen Taohua coming back.
At this time, Chen Taohua bought rice, noodles, meat and vegetables, and a basket of coal.
Gao Tingyu got paid for his work yesterday, so he naturally wanted to buy something good today.
Everyone’s life is like this. It’s the best month to pay for work and eat, and then the thrifty ones will live the best life.
These things seemed to weigh more than a hundred kilograms, and Chen Taohua carried them back with a pole.
"I'm back. Thank you for this morning, peach girl."
Lu Yuan greeted with a smile.
Chen Taohua was stunned and quickly greeted with a smile:
"It's my family that's thanking Brother Lu. Brother Lu, are you going fishing?"
Lu Yuan smiled and waved his hand and said:
"Where are you? I've been busy recently. I went out to order a big wooden bucket for bathing. It will be convenient to bathe at home every day.
Isn't it almost the New Year? Let's go out to buy some things and buy some coal. "
This means that he plays every day without work, but in fact Lu Yuanlai still has to do a lot of things.
Of course, it also has something to do with the New Year’s Eve.
I have stopped fishing for the past few days. I will go back to Qingqiu Village to stay for two days and have a good time fishing.
Chen Taohua nodded with envy. It would be so comfortable to be able to take a bath at home every day.
After the two of them finished talking, Lu Yuan took the horse and left.
There is a lot of work to do today.
Lu Yuan went to the department store first and looked at the wooden barrels that Lu Yuan wanted.
In other words, there is no one of the size that Lu Yuan wants.
Those wooden bath buckets sold in department stores are usually enough for one person.
It's not enough. Lu Yuan had to buy something extra large that could accommodate two people washing together.
After wandering around for a while, Lu Yuan went directly to the east city gate and saw Liu Shoucai and his party again.
I asked Liu Shoucai to introduce some carpenters to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan directly gave Liu Shoucai five yuan to help Lu Yuan buy whatever materials he wanted.
Then he sent it directly to his home after the treatment, and the remaining money was regarded as Liu Shoucai's hard work.
This really made Liu Shoucai extremely happy.
After finishing the barrel, Lu Yuan went to the coal yard again, originally thinking of buying coal worth 100 yuan.
But after I got there, I found that I didn’t need so much at all.
A pound of coal cost only two cents. Lu Yuan bought three thousand pounds, which was enough for almost a winter, and it only cost sixty.
After buying so much coal, the coal yard owner naturally asked someone to help transport it back.
After Lu Yuan gave him an address, he ran to have lunch by himself.
After lunch, Lu Yuan ran to the department store to buy things.
When you go home this young year, why don't you bring something for Su Liyan's parents?
There are also Su Liyan's second uncle and third uncle.
The second uncle's family has a little boy, and the third uncle's family has a little girl. For these two children, Lu Yuan bought two new clothes, pants, shoes and so on.
Lu Yuan didn't know what size these two children wore.
Anyway, just buy it as it is, try to be as loose and big as possible.
Children in the village always buy clothes from Dali, so that they can last for several years.
Then I bought a few pairs of cotton shoes.
There is no need for food. The cellar of Su Liyan's house was almost full when we held a banquet last time. After the banquet, there was still a lot left.
Su Changliang wasn't at home either, and Su Liyan's parents couldn't eat much.
Just wait until Xiaonian goes back to cut some fresh meat and take it back.
Anyway, the total cost today was less than 150 yuan.
…
A few days later, at night.
Lu Yuan and Su Changliang were drinking wine at home.
Su Liyan finished eating early and was busy next to the sewing machine.
"We'll go back when we find a bullock cart during the day. It's so cold at night."
Lu Yuan took a sip of warm wine and said.
Tomorrow will be the New Year.
All agencies and factories will take two days off.
Lu Yuan and Su Liyan planned to go to bed early tonight and get up at four or five in the morning before going back.
Su Changliang planned to go home directly after finishing the meal.
Regarding Lu Yuan's words, Su Changliang shook his head and said:
"No, brother-in-law, I'll save money by walking back. It's faster than an ox cart. If I take the ox cart tomorrow, I won't get home until the afternoon."
Moreover, I have been working at night this week, so I can't sleep tonight. Anyway, it's only about a hundred miles, so I can walk back. I won't be cold after walking a few more steps, so it's okay. "
Su Liyan, who was sitting in front of the sewing machine sewing Lu Yuan's socks and pants, also looked up at Lu Yuan and said with a pursed lips:
"It's okay, brother~ Chang Liang has been walking in the fields since he was a child. This little road is nothing."
Let alone Chang Liang, she, Su Liyan, didn't feel tired walking back these roads.
For such a young man, he is still an official. Although he does not wear official clothes when off duty, does he still have a certificate?
Don't be afraid of danger, it'll be fine.
Lu Yuan didn't say anything. Anyway, he only had one horse at home, so he definitely couldn't take Su Changliang with him.
Since Su Changliang wants to walk back, he should walk back.
Immediately, Lu Yuan also raised his eyebrows and said:
"Then drink less tonight and don't get confused later."
Su Changliang was not greedy for wine, so he just nodded.
At this time, Su Changliang took another big bite of meat, then looked around and sighed:
"Brother-in-law, you are so awesome. How did you come up with this trick?"
Before Lu Yuan could say anything, Su Liyan, who was in front of the sewing machine, couldn't help but say with pride:
"What can't your brother-in-law think of?
Your brother-in-law is really awesome~"
Su Changliang also nodded, which is true.
Even if his brother-in-law were to come up with something that could fly tomorrow, he wouldn't be surprised.
After drinking and eating, Su Changliang put on thick clothes and a thick hat, covered his ears, and looked at Lu Yuan and said:
"Brother-in-law, I'm leaving first."
Lu Yuan nodded and was about to ask Su Liyan to send her brother off, but Su Changliang looked at Su Liyan who got up from the sewing machine and said:
"Don't send me away, please take care of my brother-in-law quickly."
After saying that, Su Changliang went out and closed the door directly.
As soon as Su Changliang left, Su Liyan glanced at Lu Yuan and blushed.
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:
"Daughter-in-law, don't you hurry up and boil the water so we can take a big bath?"
Su Liyan said with a shy face:
"Eh~"
………………
The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.
Su Changliang was snoring and drinking porridge at home.
It wasn't really cold that night. Why would it be cold if I kept walking?
Even if he is tired, he is not tired. After all, Su Changliang has been running around in the fields since he was a child. Now he goes to work in the city, and he also travels around as an official.
Twelve hours of walking is nothing.
If you are tired, walk slower; if you are not, walk faster.
Even after walking all night, there was nowhere to eat or drink on the way.
Su Changliang was really hungry.
At this time, many people gathered in the Su family.
First, the official Su Changliang is back, and everyone comes to see him.
Secondly, everyone also knows that the Su family's uncle is back today, because the Su family's uncle yesterday asked people to bring back a lot of things.
This uncle of the Su family is very generous.
Follow the uncle and say a few auspicious words, and the uncle will immediately scatter a few cigarettes.
Cigarettes are much easier to smoke than pipes. Not only does the pipe hurt your cheeks from chewing, it also smells like saliva.
Everyone looked at Su Changliang and felt that he had really changed.
Don't worry, I've been in the city for less than a month. Whether it's what I say or what I do, it's completely different from when I was in the village.
Look, his hair is combed up, he really looks like an official.
Speaking of which, Su Changliang went to the city to work as an official.
When the officials from the nearby government offices come to the village, whether they are patrolling, checking households, or doing whatever else, they are always polite.
After all, Chang Liang was an official in the imperial city~
Even if he is on the same level as these government officials, he is still half a level above him in terms of status~
Moreover, although there is no need for yamen to oppress the people now, in the past there was no one in the village in the imperial city. Even if the yamen yelled at you and threatened you with a stick, it was really unworthy of him to go to the imperial city to sue the officials.
I don’t even know how to complain when I go to the Imperial City. The Imperial City is so big and I’m confused after walking around it twice.
Now that Su Changliang is here, the government officials in the countryside are much more polite.
Everyone is very grateful to the Su family from the bottom of their hearts.
Of course, everyone also knows that the son of the Su family is so promising because of his brother-in-law in the imperial city.
"Mom, let me tell you, my sister is living like a god with my brother-in-law in the city.
You don’t know how awesome my brother-in-law is. He even built a floor kang, so the house is warm! "
In the first half, Su Changliang told his parents, but in the second half, he couldn't help but squat on the threshold with stick noodles and porridge, watching the villagers in the yard showing off.
The villagers squatting or sitting on small benches in the yard to bask in the sun blinked in confusion and said:
"What's a floor kang? It's warmer because the stove is hotter, right?"
Su Changliang hurriedly swallowed the porridge in his mouth and said quickly:
"No, my brother-in-law didn't know what he did. He lit a fire under the house. The walls of the house are still hot, and his old nose is warm!
Yesterday, I was drinking at my brother-in-law's house. I drank with my shirt on. I was still sweating like this. If it weren't for the shame of being at my brother-in-law's house, I would have gone shirtless! "
Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.
Everyone was confused.
Light a fire under the house? ?
What does that mean?
But is it really that warm? ?
At this night, everyone was cold even if the stove was burning, so they all had to sit on the fire bed quickly.
Everyone still believed Su Changliang's words.
People in the Su family are dissatisfied with Hu Zou, but Su Changliang is also a good boy and never lies or gossips.
Maybe it's something new in town.
As soon as everyone thought this, Su Changliang said with admiration on his face:
"That thing is only available at my brother-in-law's house, and he invented it. You don't know, right? My brother-in-law is amazing. He also invented the corn thresher!"
Corn thresher?
What is that? ?
Seeing the confused looks on everyone's faces, Su Changliang was very proud.
But...Su Changliang has never seen the corn thresher, he only heard about it.
Of course, this is not important, what is important is...
Su Changliang immediately said:
"Because of this, the armory factory rewarded my brother-in-law with three hundred yuan, and also promoted my brother-in-law to a fifth-level blacksmith!"
Hearing Su Changliang's words, everyone took a breath and became a little uneasy.
This time, the daughter of the Su family came back and said that the uncle of the Su family was two years younger than the daughter of the Su family, and he was twenty-one this year.
This twenty-one-year-old fifth-level worker?
Still mentioning it? ?
Be good...
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Su Changliang felt extremely proud.
After finishing the porridge in his hand, he said with pride again:
"That's not all yet. My brother-in-law hosted another banquet for my sister in the city. Do you think what kind of people came?"
Another banquet?
As everyone knows, this uncle of the Su family has no one left in his family, he is the only one.
So this banquet will be held at Su's house, not in the city.
Why... is this happening in the city again?
How much does this uncle of the Su family love Li Yan?
Father Su and Mother Su were also stunned while sitting in the room.
ah? ?
My son-in-law hosted a banquet for his daughter again? ?
These two people really have no idea...
Su Changliang saw that everyone was shocked that his brother-in-law hosted a banquet for his sister, but failed to grasp the key point, and said a little anxiously:
"Oh, why are you so surprised that my brother-in-law hosted a banquet for my sister? It's normal that my brother-in-law loves my sister so much.
Guess who my brother-in-law has invited to dinner? "
Everyone, look at me and I look at you, with a confused look on their face:
"Who are they...?"
The next second, Su Changliang grinned proudly and said:
“A great leader!!
The main table at my brother-in-law's banquet has blue cuffs as the minimum standard! ! Do you know what a blue-cuffed leader is? ! "
Blue cuffs? ?
Of course everyone knows! !
Isn’t the county magistrate in this yamen a blue cuff?
The all-blue cuffs on the main table? ?
This was not over yet. Su Changliang immediately said with great pride:
"There are seven or eight blue cuffs, and there is one white cuff among them!!"
Everyone was a little confused.
hiss……
Isn’t the banquet for this daughter of the Su family too big? ?
White...white cuffs? ?
At this time, Su's father and Su's mother, who were sitting in the room, were already smiling.
My uncle is so awesome! !
Thanks to brother Amiao for the two 1666 book coins reward, thank you very much~
Thanks to brother 110524 for the 200 book coins reward, thank you very much ~
Thanks to Hu Wu Lian and You, please be faster. Two old acquaintances rewarded me with 100 book coins. Thank you very much~
I got up at five o'clock today to watch the game. I was too sleepy after watching the game, so I lay down and slept for a while, so the update is late, hehe.
