When Shuangxi cooked the medicine and handed it to Shen Yan, Shen Yan asked doubtfully: "Where did it come from?"
"Master Liu gave it to me." Shuangxi lied. Master Liu is such a good person, and if he said it was given to him, no one would doubt it.
Sure enough, when Shen Yan heard that it was given to him by Master Liu, he stopped asking further.
Shen Yan recovered quickly from his illness and became full of life after one day. Because a kang and fire wall had to be built in the Shen family's house, the completion had to be slower. On this day, Dashan and Quanzi came over.
"The two brothers of the Shen family." Dashan rubbed his hands and said.
Shen Mo looked at the Yun brothers defensively. They had been thinking about their daughter-in-law for a long time, and something bad would definitely happen if she came here this time. He quickly asked for his second brother, "What are you doing here?"
Dashan is a simple and honest man, and did not sense the hostility in Shen Mo's words and said with a smile: "Quanzi and I are here to help you build a house. It will rain soon, and living in a shack will not be an option."
Dashan's words were sincere and full of concern from the brother next door, which made Shen Mo, who was holding his breath and wanted to drive them away, silent.
Quanzi didn't care whether the Shen brothers would catch cold or not. This time, he came here with his eldest brother regardless of previous suspicions, because he was afraid that Shuangxi would live in a shack with the Shen family and suffer in vain.
This time, Shen Yan agreed to the Yun brothers' help.
"Hey, Shen brothers, what is this?" Dashan looked at the strange wall being built in the roofless house, which was hollow inside, and asked in confusion, saying that it was a load-bearing wall. How can a hollow one be as good as a solid one? Let's say it's a partition, right? There's no need to go to such trouble to build a hollow wall.
Shen Mo heard Dashan asking and said proudly: "My wife came up with this!" He explained the function of the fire wall.
Quanzi looked straight at Shuangxi who was standing aside, and saw a trace of calmness and wisdom on Shuangxi's face. He stood there neither sad nor happy, his eyes were light and filled with joy, and he looked with hope. This is the house that is about to be completed.
Quanzi suddenly felt a twinge of jealousy. She was looking at their home.
How great would it be if Xi'er was his wife?
With the help of Dashan and Quanzi, the house was quickly built, with wooden rafters and ridges installed. Straw curtains were layered on top of the roof, and the house was considered completed.
The Shen family doesn't have much money. Rich people buy tiles for their roofs, but this thatched roof is already very satisfactory to everyone. From now on, they will have a place to shelter from wind and rain. That's it. A home of your own.
As soon as you enter the Shen family's house, there is a Kang, with a Kang mat made of bamboo skins already covered on it. This room is larger. When you walk inside, you will see a small door. After entering this small door, you will see a small door. A small room of less than fifteen square meters. Walking inside from this small room is the Shen family's kitchen.
Of course, the door is also open from the other side of the kitchen. You can't pass by the room reserved for Shen Bingxian every time you go to the kitchen, right?
The Shen family's chimneys are also uniquely arranged. There are two in total, one on the fire wall next to the window, and one on the kang near the main entrance.
In winter, the smoke from the stove goes to the chimney next to the main entrance. In this way, even the big kang will be hot, but in summer, Shen Bingxian needs to be warmer, but Shuangxi and the others can't stand it, so they can only Use a movable wooden board to block the smoke leading to the big kang, and walk over the chimney on the fire wall.
This fire wall is also very uniquely designed. It is hollow in the middle. The adobe bricks of the house next to Shuangxi and others are thicker, while the bricks of the house next to Shen Bingxian are thinner.
In this way, when the smoke passes, the wall on Shen Bingxian's side will be warmer just enough to meet Shen Bingxian's need for a higher temperature, but it will not affect the temperature of the big house where Shuangxi and others live.
Shuangxi filled the stove with firewood and blew the smoke out of the stove at first. Shuangxi grabbed the broom behind him and blew it twice, and the smoke finally blew into the stove.
After a while, smoke curled up from the two chimneys. There was a movable wooden board inserted into each chimney just above the kang. If you didn't want the smoke to come out from one of the chimneys, just insert the wooden board into it.
Just plug the chimney in the chimney and it will be fine.
This smoke carries temperature and heats up the earthen bricks on the kang.
The adobe bricks are the best at retaining heat. Once burned, they can stay warm for about ten hours.
Shen Mo touched the heated bamboo mat in surprise and exclaimed excitedly: "Daughter-in-law, it's hot, it's hot!"
Quanzi and Dashan also reached out and touched it out of curiosity, then looked at Shuangxi with surprised expressions.
Quanzi thought to himself that he was afraid that he would never meet a girl like Shuangxi again in this life, who could come up with such a good idea.
Because Shuangxi's family had a heated kang, Quanzi and Dashan decided to build one as well. After all, it was too uncomfortable to sleep on a wooden bed when the weather was cold. Even with the stove and brazier burning, the cold was uncomfortable.
But what if there was a warm fire bed? How comfortable it would be to sleep.
After the house was built, Shen Mo volunteered to go up the mountain to inform his eldest brother and fourth brother.
The Yun brothers had no reason to stay. Shuangxi and Shen Yan were the only ones left in the house. Shuangxi touched the wall and then the kang. She finally had a place to shelter from the wind and rain in ancient times.
It's just that Shuangxi still felt awkward in her heart. She was sold to the Shen family, and she wasn't even considered his wife. The Shen family could sell her at any time.
When Shuangxi thought of this, he became heartbroken and panicked.
But now Shuangxi has selectively forgotten this unpleasant incident. With a new home, everyone is happy, right?
Seeing the double happiness, Shen Yan's cold face also had a smile. Feeling her joy, Shen Yan felt that all these days of hard work were worth it.
When Shuangxi estimated that Shen Mo was almost at the hot spring cave, he went to the kitchen and started to light the fire, thinking that after Shen Bingxian came back, the room would get hotter.
In order to keep warm, the windows in Shen Bingxian's house were covered with two layers of paper. Although it affected the lighting, the light was already very bright for Shen Bingxian. After all, he had lived in that dark cave for many years.
"Ahem -" I accidentally put in a piece of wet firewood, and smoke suddenly started, making Shuangxi choke.
Shuangxi couldn't help but fall back, a pair of strong and warm hands supported Shuangxi from behind... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support
