Chapter 869 869 Start Roasting Fire
Chapter 869 869. Let’s start the fire
The temperature keeps dropping at night on the mountain, and Zhang Yanping plans to raise her salary for picking vegetables in November.
The cold weather also means that there is absolutely nothing going on in the fields during the day.
Song Sancheng and Wu Lan saw the opportunity and took to the streets actively every day. Finally, on the first day of November, they came back from the city with joy!
The two of them got the driver's license!
Ulan could still remain reserved. He selected the filter, selected the music, calmly vibrated and sent it out. Looking at the rising number of likes, he was naturally in a good mood!
And what about Song Sancheng?
Just when he came back at noon, he had already made several phone calls to his brothers and friends——
"Which car do you think is better? I plan to choose xx, but Tantan insists on buying me a yy. You said I just got my driver's license..."
"What do you think of YY's car? I just got my driver's license, and I'm mainly worried about the fuel consumption..."
"When we have time someday, let's go look at cars... What cars are we looking at? Ouch, I just got a driver's license in my spare time..."
Zhang Yanping was wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket in the room and listening. At this moment, he couldn't help but look at Song Tan: "Do you think YY cars are good?"
Song Tan was speechless: "I think Dongfeng Daka is the best. Do you think my dad can buy it?"
On the other hand, Secretary Zhu Zhu was holding a piece of fried glutinous rice cake and eating it with gusto. He was also teasing a few cats. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but retreat into the room:
"Oh, oh, oh, look at Uncle Song's attitude, as if he just put the driver's license on the plate and took it as soon as he asked - I'd better go into the house and don't let others think that I contributed."
This is of course a joke, but one can also imagine Song Sancheng's desire to show off. Song Tan thought, is this okay? Don’t let your mentality drift while driving!
She then shouted: "Dad, it's getting cold, why don't we start warming ourselves by the fire!"
"Ah?" Song Sancheng was in high spirits. When he heard these words, his train of thought stopped and he subconsciously replied:
"It's only November, where can we warm ourselves up so early?"
In previous years, it would be in mid-November or at the end of November. If the winter is milder, it would be normal for the fire to start in December.
Song Tan was helpless: "But the temperature has dropped!"
The cold wave suddenly comes, and it can still be more than 20 degrees during the day at the end of October, so you have to wear short sleeves when working. But overnight, it was only ten degrees during the day, and the cold wind was blowing. If I walked around the roadside in the morning, I could see a layer of silver frost like broken snow.
"You young people don't understand. How can you warm yourself up by the fire when the temperature drops? Spring is covered with autumn frost..." He muttered, but his movements did not stop. At this moment, he quickly came back with a pile of firewood:
"What the hell is that fire thing of yours? How do you burn it?"
"I'll do it, I'll do it! I will, I will!"
Qiaoqiao, who was learning how to generate electricity from oranges in front of the TV, raised her hands: "I can burn!"
With his hands full of orange juice, he unplugged the flickering light bulb, peeled the orange and ate it, then took the lighter:
"Dad, what are you doing carrying firewood? Didn't my sister order coal for the stove in the back?"
Alas, my father really didn’t study seriously. The master worker said that since the village does not have natural gas, they can use coal, electricity and firewood, but it is more expensive to burn firewood...
My sister told me to buy coal at that time!
Song Sancheng, holding firewood and looking at the coal in the shed behind the house:...
He hummed: "Coal...is expensive!"
"But firewood isn't cheap!" To buy firewood, you have to chop and pack it, so it's almost done! Qiaoqiao is now very good at math addition, subtraction, multiplication and division!
He will settle the score.
The two of them pushed open the small door of the living room and went straight to the back of the house.
There, the heater had been sitting quietly for several months without anyone paying attention to it.
Qiao Qiao was quite cautious when lighting a fire for the first time. At this moment, she opened the video she saved and watched it again before following the instructions to start the country-specific heating machine step by step.
Song Sancheng was still holding the firewood, and now he looked at it: "This is no different from the stove we install in the house! It's just bigger."
Qiao Qiao looked at him doubtfully: "But Dad, you said it yourself, the new house is snow-white, and the stove will easily smoke it very black. If you want to bake the stove, there is a special room next to the warehouse for cooking and chatting! "
Song Sancheng:......
He decisively changed the subject: "Do I have to fill in the firewood from time to time?"
"Yeah." Qiao Qiao nodded: "The temperature depends on the temperature control meter. This sister will adjust it. Firewood and coal need to be added every two hours - you can turn off the induced draft fan and push the gate open when you go to bed at night, so that you can warm up. It will be warm until the next morning!”
Fine!
Song Sancheng put the firewood aside, turned around and took out a handful of pine needles from the other side of the coal pile and handed it over:
"Here, start the fire first."
…
The father and son were studying the heater, but Xin Jun frowned: "Will it be very cold this winter?"
Song Tan looked at the sky from a distance: "Yes."
The weather forecast said that a cold wave was coming, and she could vaguely feel the cold air rolling in the air.
Xin Jun sighed: "Fortunately, the rice has been harvested - no wonder Professor Song always said that our area is not suitable for two-crop rice. If the rice grows slower, it will not be good."
That's true. In previous years, no one planted two crops of rice. This year, Song Tan came back and was anxious to eat rice, so he pushed the seedlings a little harder and planted them a little earlier.
Zhang Yanping, on the other hand, was worried: "Will the food on this mountain be okay?"
"No." Song Tan was no longer worried about this. The varieties she planted were originally cold-resistant and would grow well even without her help.
And although the temperature is low and the wind is strong during the day, the sun is still quite bright.
The temperature difference between day and night is exciting, and vegetables and fruits will only become more delicious.
"Okay," he said with relief, "I'll let everyone know first that the salary increase will start tonight."
"By the way, Tantan, Boss Chang asked again, are you really not going to build a greenhouse?"
Song Tan shook his head: "Let's take a rest in the winter. If you really don't want to work anymore, just eat something."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang.
Professor Song's voice on the other end was full of joy:
"Song Tan, I have signed up for your farm for this winter's exchange meeting - is there anything you can provide in winter?"
He had mentioned this a long time ago, but because the qualification review begins in the middle of every year, only large farms, agricultural bases, or ecological bases with special research or characteristics are eligible.
As for the small farm of Song Tan's family, Professor Song might not be able to guarantee that she would be allowed in even if he didn't have any relationship with it.
Now we only provide some melon and fruit snacks brought back, but I never thought there would be an unexpected surprise!
No, when he said this, his tone was beaming.
"In addition, if you choose some good ones, there will be a gold medal selection at the end. Don't be careless. In my personal opinion, although this exchange meeting is not famous, it is still quite important."
"Song Tan, there are still about two or three months left, so hurry up!"
Song Tan:......
She looked at the falling leaves outside, feeling the howling cold wind, and looked at Zhang Yanping helplessly:
"How about...a greenhouse?"
I went out to do errands today, and also in the evening.
Do you still have any impressions of this stove? Many rural villas use this. It is more convenient to use natural gas, but it is expensive. 200 square meters costs more than 2,000 a month.
Without natural gas, everything can burn.
However, there are many restrictions on tree cutting in the village now, and I am not allowed to cut down my own trees casually. After some consideration, I decided to switch to coal.
It is the same as floor heating, and can be installed exposed or concealed. However, burning coal is more troublesome and needs to be filled every hour or two. Using electricity saves trouble, but Tantan's house is big and too expensive, so it's not cost-effective.
You can search online for details.
The exchange meeting is purely made up by me (after all, I can’t touch it), please do not verify it.
But please share your experience and let me learn from it.
