Chapter 541 Ice House
Yan Laoer brought back a lot of people from the quarry, and the news spread quickly in Xiaoan Village.
Everyone came to watch the fun.
Those who were transferred by Master Tian before were all relatives of the officials who were convicted. This time it was different. The people who came were the real offenders.
The manager of the quarry wanted to put shackles on them, but was persuaded by Yan Laoer.
It is inconvenient to do anything with shackles, so how can you work?
Of course, this is an excuse on the surface.
The fact is that Yan Laoer is not worried about these people running away.
In this weather, running away privately is a way to seek death.
These people are still fine now, but they cherish their lives and don’t want to die.
They are really fierce people. Many people who have fallen from officials to prisoners can’t bear it and die.
In order to take care of their weak bodies, the convoy went back to the village first, and then turned back to pick them up on the road.
If they walked, I’m afraid that several people would have to die before they reached Xiaoan Village.
When everyone entered the village, it was dark.
Yan Laoer and the Kang brothers had met and talked a few times, but they didn't talk too deeply, and they didn't know their temperaments.
Since the eldest brother of the Kang family decided to follow him, he would just follow his actions.
People get along with each other and slowly get used to each other.
It was just that the eldest brother of the Kang family called him by this name, and Yan Laoer was a little uncomfortable. He privately complained to Yan Yu, and it sounded weird.
"Dong Weng, the students have settled the people. Don't you really need to watch them? After all... after all, they are..." Kang Yinli bent down and lowered his head unconsciously and whispered: "They are prisoners."
Yan Laoer glanced at him, frowned, and went up to him and patted him on the back twice.
"Brother Kang, straighten your back. You have seen that we have paid the ransom money without missing a penny. We just need a document. If it weren't for the busy work, we would go and get it right away.
You are a good citizen now, you have to change. Besides, what's wrong with committing a crime? You haven't done anything evil that is against the will of heaven and earth. You have been punished for making a mistake. You have been punished. Remember it in your heart and don't make the same mistake again. Let's live a good life. Forget it when you should. Don't always remember the past..."
Yan Lao Er didn't want to talk about it all the time, so he said: "We villagers are white Working during the day and watching them at night, isn't it tiring? The body can't stand it!
Isn't it better to come to our Xiao'an Village than to stay in the quarry? They are not stupid. We let them have meals every day, a house to live in at night, and burn firewood for them to keep warm. How can they run to the ice and snow and escape from our nest? "
"And..." Yan Laoer sighed deeply and said, "Brother Kang, you can call me whatever you want, can you not call yourself... that, I really can't stand it!"
He glanced at Yan Yu not far away.
His daughter made an embarrassed expression, and then hugged herself with her two little arms, her round body shaking flexibly.
The vivid performance of his mood at the moment.
Kang Yinli was stunned for a moment, then responded: "Okay, then Dong Weng don't call me big brother, just call me... Kang Da."
"That's right." Yan Laoer breathed a sigh of relief: "This way we are all at ease, Kang Da, it's getting late, you go back and rest, Xiaoer and I have to rush back to the city, if it's any later the city gate will be closed."
"Hey, hey, Dong Weng, please go quickly." Kang Yinli made way a little and watched him leave.
Yan Laoer felt uncomfortable all over.
"Xiaoer, can you help me look back and see if Kang Da is still looking at me?"
Yan Yu laughed and said, "Yes, Uncle Kang is very polite, not bad at all!"
"I..." Yan Laoer moved his butt uncomfortably: "Maybe I made the wrong choice!"
He sighed and said, "I didn't see Kang Da at first, he is so rigid, it's better to choose Kang Er!"
"Uncle Kang Er left a long time ago!" Yan Yu said cheerfully, "He looked energetic, he knew he was going to be the head of my uncle's If you don't know him, you might think he's going to see some young lady.
Dad, I think you hit the jackpot. Second Uncle Kang seems to have a temper and is not easy to manage. First Uncle Kang is different. He works seriously. He agrees to whatever you say and does it the way you say. He asks when he doesn't understand and learns carefully. Besides, is it a problem to be well-mannered? It's just to make up for your shortcomings, okay? You are used to being casual. You feel uncomfortable when there is a well-behaved person in front of you. "
Yan Yu hit the nail on the head.
Yan Laoer stared.
"I am casual, but I work every day. But you, you disappear every day. What are you doing?" Don't say he is really curious. His daughter disappeared when he looked at her, and she appeared again when he looked at her. She is so elusive.
"Go to the river to cut ice. How can the efficiency be the same with me or without me!" Yan Yu raised his head proudly.
Yan Laoer looked around and asked, "Where are the fish?" Why can't I see any fish?
A few days ago, Yan Yu went to the river and never came back empty-handed.
"Today, I didn't catch fish, so I cut ice." Yan Yu suddenly said, "Dad! We built a small ice house on the river today. Don't say it, it looks cold, but it is indeed windproof when you get in. It's quite warm to burn firewood inside. The ice bricks just melted a little and then froze again. By the way, we also smoothed the gaps between the ice bricks."
"It's right to build the ice house in a round shape. It's not easy to build a square one. Also, it's not easy for the snow on the dome to stand. It's our first time to do it, and the circle outside is not well built..." Yan Yu summed up his experience.
"What's the point of making that thing?" Yan Laoer reacted, "You don't want the villagers to live in the ice house, do you? That won't work. People can stay in it for a while, but they can't stand the cold for a long time."
"Instead of living directly, Dad, what do you think we put a big ice cover over the houses in the village that are broken down and cannot be repaired?" Yan Yu gestured with his hands.
…
"...This is what your daughter is thinking about. Let's not talk about whether it is feasible to put an ice cover outside the house. Let's talk about the amount of work...cut the ice, take out the ice strips, build them layer by layer, and then build it. Yuan... We don’t have any machines, we rely solely on manual labor, and we can’t finish the work even if we are exhausted!” Yan Laoer came back and talked to Li Xuemei, thinking that her daughter was fanciful.
Li Xuemei had just finished feeding her child, and Grandma Rong took it from the side, held the child upright in her arms, and patted her back gently.
After Zaizai let out a very small burp, he gently put it down.
Little Ya'er moved slightly for a few moments and then fell asleep again.
"This kid is quite easy to coax!" Yan Laoer sighed.
Li Xuemei rolled her eyes at him: "Children who are not yet a month old must either eat or sleep. It is best to take care of them at this time. Have you forgotten?"
Yan Laoer coughed softly: "How can I remember the time when we were so worry-free? Our eldest daughter was so noisy when she was a child. She cried as soon as she was put down. It was not enough to just pick her up. I had to push her, but it was too much for me. !”
"Then your daughter has been doing this since she was a child, why haven't you gotten used to it yet?" Li Xuemei asked.
Yan Laoer: "Habits are habits, but this time it's really unreliable!"
"Go and call her." Li Xuemei said.
"What? You want to talk about her?" Yan Laoer said anxiously: "Dabao knew it well, and she just let it go when she couldn't get anything done. I just kept talking about it, weren't we just chatting, why did you take it seriously?"
Li Xuemei looked at him funny: "If you have anything else to do, go quickly!"
Although the idea of the ice mask is really whimsical, it can still be realized. Well, I thought about it with my brain and thought it was feasible~
The second update is coming~ Cheer yourself up, come on, come on, come on~
