Old Deng heard from his grandson that the things on the other end of the household registration post had been settled, and he guessed that it was almost done. Seeing that it was still early, he went to the workshop to ask Zhang Hugua to take a leave, and borrowed a mule cart from Song Qiu, and rushed
Take a trip to town.
After hearing this, Zhang Hugua immediately followed the instructions and rushed to the town without any delay.
As for Zhang Lao Dou’s inner thoughts, he proudly thought that his old uncle would be there to help him make decisions when the family was separated. Lao Deng said, huh, she had no intention of informing Zhang Lao Dou about his uncle.
uncle.
Because of what happened a few years ago, she didn't want to see his old uncle at all and hadn't been to his house for so many years. How could she ask him to be a witness? Impossible.
Besides, she didn't plan to give the Zhang family anything to her second son. What could the Zhang family have to share with her? They didn't have a few taels of silver in total, and they still owed external debts.
Oh, this big blue brick house with tiles is not unusual for her son! The Li family also has a blue brick house!
Therefore, please don't invite Zhang Laodou and his uncle to come. It's not important, and we don't distinguish between the Zhang family's things.
Tomorrow I will just ask Uncle Dayou, the village chief and a few people in the village to come together as a witness.
She is tough and not afraid to tell the truth!
Mrs. Deng knew very well that although Mr. Zhang could not move or speak, he would have to fight a tough battle tomorrow when the family was separated, so he had to recuperate his energy and save his energy for use tomorrow.
So I told Zhang Hugua to go and prepare to go inside and take a good nap.
She has long since stopped sleeping in the same bed as Zhang Lao Dou. She also dislikes the man spending time in the bed all day long.
So I made a small bed to sleep in the small penthouse next to the back room.
To enter the wing room, you must first enter the back room.
As soon as Mr. Deng entered, he heard Mr. Zhang sneezing. When he looked at the person again, his cheeks were red and his eyes were blurry. He was immediately startled.
Oops, are you catching a cold?
She quickly went to close half of the back window tightly, and then touched Zhang Lao Dou's forehead, which was a little hot.
She couldn't help but sigh, thinking about it, the wind and cold were terrible. If the fever passed and disappeared tonight, wouldn't her son's separation be delayed?
After so many years, I have obtained my grandson’s household registration, but I can’t miss this one.
Old Mrs. Deng gritted his teeth and did not bother to take a nap. He brought the brazier in, put it in front of the bed to bake, and then went out to collect herbs.
Zhang Laodou listened to people muttering about picking herbs, and his eyes became clear as he thought about the bowls of painfully bitter black soup he had drank before.
He was a little feverish, but not uncomfortable. He felt it was nothing serious.
He knew that the back window was open, so he deliberately struggled to get the quilt off.
This bitch, if you give him rat poison, don't think that if she changes his clothes and feeds him food all day long, he will be moved to forgive her!
snort!
Zhang Laodou's eyes turned sharp for a moment, and he fell on the brazier near the bed, and his eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
This brazier was what he was waiting for!
Taking a deep breath, I have recalled the action countless times in my mind. This is the moment!
Zhang Laodou struggled hard and slid off the quilt on his body, as if he was sinking his boat. More than half of it fell on the brazier.
Suddenly, tongues of fire rolled up and burned the corners of the quilt.
Mr. Zhang took the risk, as if he was not afraid of death. He straightened his body and rolled down the bed. He took the other half of the quilt with him and spread it to the table leg, with the corner of the quilt next to the table leg.
The end of the quilt that fell into the brazier crackled and ignited, and it quickly spread and burned all the way to the other end. The entire quilt was ignited, and the flames were floating, and then licked the legs of the table.
The table legs, which had been very dry for many years, quickly caught fire.
Then it went all the way up and burned the entire table.
And on the table was the box with the jade pendant hidden inside.
Zhang Laodou fell to the ground and lost all his strength in struggling. At this moment, he was completely weak. However, with that pounce just now, he fell to the ground and rolled twice. He did not hit the quilt, so he also avoided the fire.
Hold him.
At this moment, his head was not far from the brazier, and his face was hot from the fire. Looking at the burning table, his whole body couldn't help but tremble, and he let out weird laughs.
Things that he doesn't need, things that his children and grandchildren don't need, even the bastards can't use!
He would rather destroy it with his own hands than give it to a bastard!
Zhang Yang went to the inn, and old Deng went to the foot of the mountain to collect herbs.
The three Miao ladies were still washing clothes by the river. They just returned home after washing their clothes. Zhang Zaohua had a good nose and smelled the burning smell floating in the yard.
"Mom, smell it, what's burning!"
When Mrs. Miao heard this, she shrugged her nose vigorously and smelled it. Her expression suddenly changed, and she quickly ran to the stove as soon as she put down the wooden basin.
She thought she had cooked dinner at noon and forgot to remove the firewood.
But there was nothing burning in the stove, so I hurriedly looked around the room, and finally found black smoke coming from the upper room, so I hurriedly went into the upper room.
Before entering the inner room, I saw black smoke and light inside.
"Mom! Why is it burning?"
Mrs. Miao rushed into the back room and didn't see clearly where the fire started. She only saw that the room was on fire and her father-in-law was lying on the ground. She was extremely anxious for a moment.
Busy and ran out again, shouting loudly, "It's on fire! It's on fire! Come and help save people!"
The fire in the room was only on the quilt, table and box, which were almost burned, and did not spread further, because although the table was placed against the wall, the wall was made of blue bricks, so it could not burn for a while.
Therefore, the black smoke only ran out from the door. It had not reached the point where the smoke was billowing above the entire house, so no one in the village noticed it.
But when Mr. Miao shouted, he walked down the gentle slope into the village and the two closest families listened. Seeing that it was the Zhang family shouting about the fire, they all hurriedly picked up buckets and basins and ran over.
He shouted to inform the villagers.
Soon, the villagers who helped put out the fire arrived, including those who fetched water from the water tanks in the stoves, those who pressed the water wells, and those who went to the river to fill the water.
He rushes into the house without hesitation, just throw fire wherever there is fire.
After a while, it was extinguished by the fire.
After the fire was extinguished, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly carried Mr. Zhang who was lying on the ground back to the bed and laid him down.
Old man Zhang couldn't help but said: "Old Zhang, what are you doing? Why are you lighting a brazier and almost burning down the house?"
The fire in the room was out, and everyone could see clearly what was going on in the room. A brazier was placed beside the bed, and the quilt was completely burned. I guess Mr. Zhang accidentally got out of bed to do something or was sleeping.
The quilt fell down and fell into the fire and burned.
Zhang Laodou saw that the table had collapsed and the box was only half burned before it was put out. A lot of the clothes inside were burnt, but he didn't know whether the jade pendant was burned or not.
He was annoyed and resentful of these nosy people, so after hearing what Old Man Zhang said, he turned his head inward and ignored them.
No one was surprised. After all, if a good person suddenly suffered a stroke and couldn't move, their temper would not get better!
It's also a good thing that it's Mrs. Deng. Look at how well she serves people, the bed is clean, and Mr. Zhang is also cleanly dressed, which proves that she is always washing and changing.
Also, it's cold today, so there's a brazier in front of the bed to keep him warm.
It's a pity that this brazier almost burned down the house.
So, when everyone went out, they met old Mrs. Deng who came back in a hurry. They didn't forget to tell her not to set off the brazier next time. No one was watching in the house. How dangerous it was.
It's okay if it's colder, but if you burn the house and the people together, that's a big deal!
