Chapter 294 Warmth on the Kang
Lu Yao went straight home after leaving happy Lian's house.
A large pile of firecrackers and sparklers were brought in, and Lu Xiaoqian, who was reading a book, jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) barefoot.
"My goodness! There are so many, bro! You're so kind! Just put out all the sparklers!"
Looking at Lu Xiaoqian, whose eyes were shining and who was jumping around non-stop, Lu Yao couldn't help but feel happy.
By the 21st century, not only girls, but even boys will have lost interest in firecrackers.
Many families no longer set off firecrackers on Lunar New Year's Eve.
Even though experts don't recommend banning fireworks, I still don't want to set them off.
These homemade firecrackers are worth the high emotional value they bring to my little sister!
Jiang Guizhi was also delighted, her mouth wide open in a grin, and she kept muttering:
"Oh my, how much does this cost? How much does this cost!"
Lu Yao laughed and said, "Mom, don't worry about the price. My little sister's happiness is priceless!"
Jiang Guizhi glared at the bouncing Lu Xiaoqian:
"That silly girl is always laughing, what's so valuable about her!"
Lu Yao sighed inwardly.
My mother didn't experience the pain of separation and death with my younger sister in this life, so she can't appreciate the value of her happiness.
"Mom, let me measure your height and waistline, and I'll buy you new clothes tomorrow."
"No need, I have clothes!"
Although Jiang Guizhi said she didn't need it, she still raised her hand and asked Lu Yao to measure her waist with a thin rope.
After measuring, Lu Yao spread his fingers out and measured the rope again.
Lu Yao knew his own waist was over 20 centimeters, but after measuring it and converting the measurements, he realized his mother's waist was only 1.9 feet.
This is a slim waist that many young women today don't have.
My mother is a middle-aged woman, and she's so thin.
We must make sure she grows to a waist size of 2.5 feet.
And then there's my little sister, whom I've raised into a chubby little pig.
They picked up Lu Xiaoqian, pressed her down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and measured her height by holding her in their hands.
The little girl is fourteen years old, but she's still not even 1.5 meters tall.
He slapped her on the butt twice: "Eat more, grow taller, or your growth plates will close in time!"
Lu Xiaoqian jumped up and went back to the ground to sort through the firecrackers.
Lu Yao spent a happy time at home with his mother and sister before coming out.
We still need to go to Ding Mei's house.
I feel anxious if I don't see Xiao Meizi for a day now.
When I'm out, I always think about going home and messing with her.
I fantasize that once her legs are better, I can carry her on my shoulders.
I don't know if this is love for her!
When they arrived at Ding Mei's house, they didn't knock on the door; they just jumped inside.
Back then, no one would put broken glass on top of walls to prevent people from jumping over them.
Lu Yao had polished the earthen wall at the gate until it shone brightly.
Once inside, I went to check on Xiaohua first.
He's healthy and strong, without any illness or disaster.
Then I went to the window and looked inside.
Damn, I closed the curtains so early, I didn't see anything.
Knock on the door.
Xie Chunfang came out.
When she opened the door and saw Lu Yao, her face immediately burned.
Even though she can't forget the scene of him seeing her sitting naked on the ground.
"Here you are."
She quickly made way for him and walked behind him, feeling that it wouldn't be safe for Lu Yao to walk behind her.
Lu Yao entered the house.
Ding Dahu was sitting on a small stool on the ground, twisting rope.
Ding Mei was sewing shoe soles on the kang (a heated brick bed), making cloth shoes for Lu Yao to wear in the spring.
Little Tiger Girl was rolling around on the kang (a heated brick bed), playing with the ball of yarn, much like a cat.
Everyone stopped what they were doing when they saw Lu Yao.
Ding Dahu grinned widely:
"Hey kid, look at this string I've put together. Can you use it to build your greenhouse?"
Lu Yao laughed and said, "Yes, I can use anything you have."
Xie Chunfang chuckled behind her.
Lu Yao turned around: "What are you laughing at?"
Xie Chunfang quickly waved her hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing!"
She was thinking, "You really can use anything, even Da Hu's daughter," but she absolutely couldn't say that. Da Hu had finally promised not to hit her anymore, so she had to watch her mouth.
Ding Dahu asked Xie Chunfang to go out and boil water to make tea.
Ding Mei asked Lu Yao to sit on the kang (heated brick bed) to keep warm.
Ding Dahu also came up.
Like a family, they sat cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed) and chatted.
Lu Yao said he wasn't home often, so he asked Ding Dahu to help manage the greenhouse construction.
I specially took out the notebook paper that I had torn up at home and drew pictures with a pencil.
Tell him how to build a greenhouse and what the underlying principles are.
Today, the state-owned cotton mill also delivered cotton quilts and plastic bags, which were unloaded in the brigade headquarters courtyard.
Ding Dahu readily agreed, saying that starting tomorrow, all men in the household should come out and work.
They carried stones down the mountain to build the walls of the greenhouse, and then used wooden poles to build crossbeams.
There are quite a few people in this village who know carpentry and masonry. If everyone is mobilized, a 100-meter-long greenhouse can probably be completed in the first year.
The only difficulty is that it's freezing cold now, so it's a bit chilly to work.
After saying all that, we've already drunk two pots of tea.
Ding Dahu saw Xie Chunfang winking and making faces at him from the doorway.
He pretended to go down to pee.
Xie Chunfang followed her out.
Ding Dahu urinated into the snowdrift, and she waited behind him.
Ding Dahu asked, "What are you going to do?"
Xie Chunfang said ingratiatingly, "Give the young couple some space. Do you think that Tuwa came so late just to talk to you about work? Of course he wants to have a private chat with Xiaomei. Look how anxious Xiaomei is, she can't get a word in edgewise."
"Go away, you're always making a fuss. I think Xiao Meizi knows a lot about greenhouses, she's given me plenty of advice."
"Then you don't understand girls' hearts. If I were Xiao Meizi, I'd want that little boy to hug me and whisper some sweet nothings to me right now!"
"Are you fucking being a pervert?"
Looking at Xie Chunfang's obsequious appearance, Ding Dahu wanted to piss all over her.
"What nonsense! I mean, I understand Xiao Meizi's feelings. We're all women!"
Ding Dahu pulled up his trousers and sighed meaningfully:
"Actually, I haven't decided yet whether to give Xiao Meizi to Zheng Wenli or to Tuwazi."
Xie Chunfang curled her lip: "It's like you're the one who decides. Little Meizi is just trying to be with Lu Yao. Haven't you seen her making shoes for Lu Yao? Why didn't she make any for Zheng Wenli?"
Ding Dahu sighed again.
How could he not understand that?
However, he felt uneasy about letting Ding Mei follow Lu Yao.
This kid is too difficult to control.
My daughter didn't give it to him yet. If she had, I wonder if things would have changed.
Inside the house, Ding Mei saw that Ding Dahu and Xie Chunfang had both gone out.
He immediately pinched Lu Yao.
Why did you pinch me?
"Just pinch him."
Another round.
He even reached into her clothes and pinched her flesh.
Lu Yao laughed: "A sadist, huh? You really like pinching people."
"I want to bite you too, come on, give me your hand."
Ding Mei flashed a bright white smile.
Lu Yao flicked her forehead:
"If you like biting, don't bite my hand. You'll have a chance to bite it later."
"oops"
No sooner had I finished speaking than Tiger Girl bit my toe.
This little guy has grown quite a bit in the last few days, and his mouth is stronger too.
Lu Yao pulled her foot back, but the dog had already snatched her socks.
"Tiger Girl, vomit!"
Ding Mei's words made Tiger Girl immediately vomit up her socks.
The tiger cub still listens to its mother.
Ding Mei reached out and pulled Lu Yao's hand: "Did you miss me?"
"Why would I come here if I didn't miss you? Do you think I miss your dad?"
Ding Mei smiled and leaned over:
Give me a kiss.
It's quite addictive.
Lu Yao kissed her on the lips.
If Tiger Girl hadn't licked their chins, they would have kissed a little longer.
Lu Yao embraced Ding Mei:
"Little Mei, I have something to tell you. Don't be angry. I'm afraid you'll misunderstand, so I have to tell you first."
"Tell me, did you flirt with another girl? Let me tell you, you're not allowed to like that Jing Youxiang."
Lu Yao smiled and said, "It's not her, it's Yuan Shumei, Yang Ming's sister-in-law."
