After a pause, she smiled again: "By the way, let me tell you something, as for you, feel free to help us with our work now. When you leave, I will definitely prepare everything for you!"

own home? own relatives

Ah Jian couldn't help looking up at the sky when she heard the words, the sky was full of stars, and his memory seemed to be in the depths of the starry sky, but he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked.

"Actually, after I lost my memory, there was not a day when I didn't think about this problem, but no matter how I thought about it, I couldn't think of anything, so now I don't think about it anymore! I will remember it when I should remember it. It's useless to think about it!" Ah Jian sighed melancholy.

It is impossible to say that you don't want your past.

Lian Fangzhou nodded with a smile, and said, "You're right to think so! Now that you're here, be at peace, and I believe God will take care of good people! One day you'll think about it!"

"I owe you a good word!" Ah Jian smiled, then frowned again, and sighed: "Although I can't remember anything, sometimes when I calm down, I always feel a little empty in my heart, as if, There is something important waiting for me to do...but when I think about it again, I can't think of anything, but I feel more and more uneasy."

Lian Fangzhou hurriedly comforted: "I can't remember who it is from, and I don't know the past. How can you not worry about your relatives at home? No wonder you feel uneasy! Just put your heart down, and let's go to the county next time, promise some money Please, ask the owners of the tea sheds on the roadside outside the city gates to help you be careful, maybe one day your family members will find you to inquire about it!"

Ah Jian's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "That's right, this is a good idea! It's just that it costs you all!"

Lian Fangzhou laughed "puchi" and said: "You are so honest and honest, but with your strength alone, staying in our house, after all, we have taken advantage of it!"

Both of them laughed.

It didn't take long before it gradually became brighter. In the early morning in the mountains in late autumn, there was a thick mist everywhere, flying with the mountain wind. Without this prosperous kiln fire, I don't know what it would be like to be cold.

Lian Ze had already woken up, and the three of them were talking by the fire, waiting for Aunt Zhang, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to change shifts.

The sun gradually rose, and the dense fog gradually disappeared. Aunt Zhang and his daughter-in-law hurried up after breakfast.

Mrs. Zhao carried a bamboo basket between her elbows, which contained a jar of soup and three sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Because Aunt Zhang was thinking about the cold weather, she asked the three of them to drink a bowl of hot soup to warm their bodies before going down the mountain.

The three of Lian Fangzhou thanked them, drank the soup, and briefly explained a few words to Aunt Zhang, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then went down the mountain with an empty basket.

After drinking hot soup, I walked all the way up the mountain road, missed the sleepy head and returned home without feeling sleepy.

After washing up and having breakfast, Lian Fangzhou went to the vegetable garden to have a look.

The lowest temperature in winter in the Southwest is also 4-5 degrees, and generally 8-9 degrees. All kinds of vegetables and cabbage grow best in winter, and a large green area can already be seen at this time.

She pulled some weeds in the vegetable garden and transplanted some small seedlings. She felt sleepy in the afternoon before going to sleep for a while.

Lian Ze couldn't wait for a moment, so under A Jian's guidance that afternoon, he practiced the basic skills of squatting and standing in the backyard. Lian Fangqing was also learning while watching the fun. The second brother frowned a little and pulled her away.

Lian Fangzhou knew what was on his mind, seeing that he was not too tired, so he let him go.

Two days later, the kiln was finally closed.

When the kiln fire was extinguished and the charcoal kiln was firmly rammed by the soil, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they felt uncertain.

After all, it can be seen when the kiln is burning, but now that the charcoal kiln is closed, no one can see any changes in it!

If you can't see it, you will naturally worry more.

"This, can it be done?" Li Sanhe couldn't help looking at A Jian and asked nervously.

"There should be no problem! Just wait for the charcoal to be charred, it will be ready in three or four days!" Lian Fangzhou said calmly, even though she was a little uncertain.

"Oh!" Li Sanhe was relieved after hearing this. Assuming that Lian Fangzhou had asked Ah Jian first, he didn't take it seriously when he saw that she had answered his own words.

"Here, do you still have to guard it?" Uncle Li asked carefully.

guard? Without a kiln fire, and without a place to shelter, what to do if you get sick from the cold at night while guarding in this deep mountain!

Not to mention that people can't afford to get sick, the level of medical care these days is impressive.

Lian Fangzhou hurriedly said: "Only a few of us know about this matter, and here is a deep mountain, I think, why don't we use it? It's cold here, if you catch a cold, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

"Yes! Yes! If you catch a cold, you have to spend money to get the medicine!" Zhao said quickly, but she didn't say a word in her stomach: If the charcoal is not burned, let alone the money, you have to pay for it. It's not worth the money to pay for the medicine!

Uncle Li, Aunt Zhang, etc. heard that what Lian Fangzhou said was reasonable, so they all agreed, and just laughed and said that they would come back in four days!

Four days passed in anxiety, and this afternoon, several people came when the kiln was opened.

When Ah Jian and Li Sanhe carefully dug up the charcoal kiln above with a hoe, several pairs of eyes looked over, both nervous and expectant.

Finally, the hole was dug open, and the residual heat rushed out. All the heartbeats stopped for a moment, and then cheered at the same time!

I've never thought that black looks so good! The ones standing upright in the charcoal kiln are not the fired charcoal!

"It's done! Oh, mother, it's done, it's done!" Mrs. Zhao's eyes lit up with joy, and her mouth was about to reach her ears.

In her eyes, this black charcoal is all white silver!

"Yes, yes! Hehe, it's really great!" Aunt Zhang was also a little excited.

Even Fangzhou was very happy, and at the same time felt relieved, this winter should be fine.

"Let's go to the city tomorrow and see how the market is doing this year!" Uncle Li said to Lian Fangzhou with a smile.

Lian Fangzhou naturally agreed. If the market is good, he will dig three more kilns and fire four at the same time.

She looked at the burnt charcoal on the side, and then said: "We have opened the kiln for a long time, and the charcoal on the side has been burned a lot, um, it seems that next time it will be sealed for three days." !"

You can save an extra day, which is of course a good thing. Uncle Li was worried, and asked Ah Jian again if this was the case

Ah Jian naturally nodded and said yes.

The charcoal weighed about a thousand catties. Uncle Li's father, son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, together with A Jian, picked them all up and piled them all up in the yard of Uncle Li's house, waiting to be transported to the city in Wang's donkey cart the next day sold here.

Mrs. Zhao looked at the hill-like pile of charcoal piled up in her yard, and felt as happy as a flower blooming in her heart. The more she looked at it, the happier she became.

Suddenly, her heart moved, and she pulled Li Sanhe aside and whispered: "It's actually not difficult to burn charcoal! Didn't you learn everything in one trip? Forget it this time, or next time our two families will burn their own. To save the trouble of being entangled in the calculation of accounts, don't you think it's good?"

Li Sanhe knew what Zhao was planning when she heard this: she thought Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze were two children, and felt that she was at a disadvantage!
