The official asked straight to the point: "I heard that you want to sit on the Kang"

The two coachmen nodded hesitantly, "But we heard that the Pan Kang in Qingping County costs 300 yuan, not including materials. We are from Lai'an County, will it be more expensive?"

The official smiled and said, "No, no, if you want to make a bed, prepare everything you need to prepare when you go back. We will be able to go there in three days. If your relatives and neighbors also want to make a bed, as long as you introduce them

Yes, how about putting a bed on a bed and giving you twenty coins?"

The two of them were surprised and happy when they heard this, "Really, we will be given twenty coins per kang"

The official nodded, "We are officials from the Qingping County government, so we won't lie to others."

The two hurriedly agreed, and one of them said: "Well, let's make a bed for my family first. When my family is ready, I will ask my relatives to make a bed too."

"I want to sell it too, and my relatives will also want to buy it."

After the official asked them their addresses, they left. The two lay on the kang, tossing and turning, reluctant to sleep, thinking about who they could persuade to join the kang.

It's a warm kang. Think about it, you don't have to worry about the cold weather when you sleep on it in winter. Even if you earn twenty cents from your relatives, it doesn't count as they cheated you.

In the evening, Lin Daqiang came to the west end of the village to have a drink with the officials. What he ate was the hot pot chicken that Lin Daqiang brought back from the county town. After a small drink, the conversation became more intimate.

Speaking of the recent industry in the village, Lin Daqiang's eyebrows almost took off, "Brother, to tell you the truth, my clan has made more money these days just by making a kang than in the past few years. Not to mention hot pot chicken.

I made it with Mala Xiang, and the business is booming day by day. I never dreamed about it before."

The official also gave a thumbs up, "Why don't we say that my eldest brother can do business? We poor errands don't have such a brain. In the future, we will have to let Brother Daqiang lead us to make money."

Lin Daqiang laughed loudly, "I'm sure, brothers are loyal, we can't be stingy, let's get rich together, get rich together."

I was happy to talk, and everyone had a good time drinking and chatting, which was really unpleasant.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside. Officer Peng motioned to the youngest officer under his command to go out and have a look, while the others continued to eat and drink.

The junior official sent someone to call him Wu Zi. When he opened the door and went out, he saw a girl in her fifteenth or sixteenth year standing in front of the door, with a delicate appearance and a frail appearance.

Wuzi's head hurt a little, "Miss Xu, are you okay tonight?"

Xu Yuanru wanted to look in through Wuzi, but Wuzi was taller and blocked the door tightly so that she could not see anything inside the house.

He said aggrievedly: "Fifth brother, my father said he has a headache. Can you help my father hire a doctor to come and take a look?"

"If there is a doctor in the east of the village, why don't you just invite him to your home?"

Xu Yuanru burst into tears, "My father is seriously ill, and the doctor in the village is afraid that his medical skills are not good enough. I would like to ask my fifth brother to help me find a doctor in the city."

"Since you know that your illness is serious, why are you still wasting here?" Wu Zi was unhappy, "Besides, why don't you even look at how the doctor in the village is not good at healing? I just want to go to the city to hire a doctor for your father.

I can't enter the city either. I think your father is just lazy. Let him plow an extra acre of land tomorrow and everything will be gone."

Xu Yuanru cried even more sadly when she heard this, and it was a bit scary to listen sadly at night, "Fifth Brother, my father is really sick. He has not been able to eat well and sleep well these days. Can you please help Fifth Brother?"

Bring me a bowl of rice porridge for my father, I have money here."

Saying that, Xu Yuanru took out a bunch of copper coins from her body and handed them to Wuzi.

The fifth son was in a dilemma, "The imperial court distributes only corn and sorghum. Where do you ask me to get you some rice porridge? Isn't it embarrassing this late at night?"

Xu Yuanru didn’t say anything, she just kept crying.

Peng Guancha walked out of it, and when he saw Xu Yuanru, his expression was not very good, "You girl, why do you have so many things going on all day long?"

Xu Yuanru didn't dare to talk back, but she kept wiping her tears.

Peng Guancha was helpless and said to Wuzi: "Take her and invite the village doctor to come and have a look. I'll go see who has some white rice."

Wuzi muttered, "I won't even let you eat the good food and wine."

Peng Guancha kicked him on the butt and said, "Go if you are told. Even if you talk so much, I will leave you a bowl of meat later."

Wuzi was happy, "My uncle still loves me the most."

With that said, he ran towards the house of the doctor in the east of the village.

Seeing Xu Yuanru looking at him expectantly, Peng Guan said: "You and I go to the shopkeeper's house in front and ask if there is rice."

Xu Yuanru was a little reluctant. For some reason, she rejected Lin Xiaoman from the bottom of her heart. When she thought of Lin Xiaoman and Lu Jin standing together talking, she felt upset.

But if she didn't go to Mi to cook porridge today, she wouldn't be able to think about it any better when she went back. She could only bite the bullet and follow Peng Guancha towards Lin Xiaoman's house.

The courtyard walls of Lin Xiaoman's house are all new, taller and thicker. Although they are made of blue bricks, they look like the first ones in the west of the village.

At this time, Lin Xiaoman's house was very lively. He Tiantian was out of milk, and Wu Ya was so hungry that she howled. Lin Xiaoman had no choice but to quietly ask Lin Erhu to buy two packs of milk powder and come back. He made a bowl and said that he went to buy it at someone else's house.

The goat milk is given to Wuya to drink.

When Qiu Ya was feeding Wu Ya, Lin Xiaoman went to the kitchen to cook millet porridge and eggs. He Tiantian hadn't eaten much since giving birth to Wu Ya. His stomach and intestines were overwhelmed at this time, and he couldn't even make milk soup for her.

Let’s take care of it for a few days first.

I made a lot of millet porridge and eggs, and everyone ate it together for dinner.

Now that there are six more people in the family, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu live together in the house they lived in before. There is another room for their mother and daughter, and the bedding is all brought back from the Zhang family.<

/p>

It was getting colder, and because He Tiantian was afraid that he would catch cold while sleeping on the kang, Lin Xiaoman burned a few pieces of firewood in the kang stove in that house before going to bed.

As soon as I fell asleep here, I heard a knock on the door outside. The five girls in the house were startled and woke up, and started crying.

Lin Xiaoman dressed and went out, opened the door and saw Peng Guancha and Xu Yuanru behind him. Knowing that Xu Yuanru was here to buy rice, he took the money she handed over. Lin Xiaoman went back to the house and filled half a bag of rice for her. "Put it in tomorrow."

Return the rice bag."

Xu Yuanru secretly scolded Lin Xiaoman for being stingy. She even brought back a rice bag to ask for it, but she still pretended to obediently accept it and thanked her profusely, which made Lin Xiaoman feel that it was too fake and not at all like the day they first met.

The color of the hour is sharp and the heart is full of tears.

Watching the two people go away, Lin Xiaoman was returning to the hospital to close the door when he seemed to see Xu Yuanru turning around and looking this way under the moonlight.

Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, Lin Xiaoman always felt that she had no good intentions. But she had no grudges with Xu Yuanru, and she couldn't remember where she had offended her.

Because He Tiantian's mother and daughter lived at home at night, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu did not go there again. After sleeping in the comfortable big bed there, they suddenly felt that nothing was comfortable here, especially getting up at night was even more inconvenient.
