Siheyuan: Originally I just wanted to be a little transparent

Chapter 48
The bedrooms in the middle room and the back room are both about the same size, with more than 30 square meters each. Lin Shengli installed two radiators in each room.

The direction of the pipes and the installation position of the radiators have been carefully calculated and arranged by Lin Shengli to ensure that they are both beautiful and have maximum effect.

Lin Shengli felt that it was a bit late today, so he stopped adding water to the heater to test the furnace. In addition, there was no honeycomb briquette or good smokeless lump coal at home. If he burned briquettes, the firepower would not be high, and the heater would not have the best effect. Come.

After flipping through his box of bills that was about to pop out, Lin Shengli took out some coal coupons and looked at them carefully.

The ticket for briquettes was only about 20 kilograms. It was probably in a handful of tickets given by Mr. Su, and he just threw them into the space without looking carefully at the time.

There are a lot of coal coupons for lump coal, about [-] kilograms each. The source is a bit mixed. It may be given by Director Yang, or it may be given by the old men in Shichahai when they exchanged fish with him...

On the way to work the next day, Lin Shengli got up early and went to the coal stack. He paid the money and tickets and agreed on a time when they would get off work in the afternoon to deliver coal.

After get off work, Lin Shengli happened to see the coal delivery master arriving at the alley entrance. Lin Shengli led the coal delivery master to the courtyard to unload the coal.

The large basket of briquettes was moved by Lin Shengli to the kitchen of the outhouse, and a basket of coal lumps was also moved in. Lin Shengli piled the remaining lumps of coal under the window outside his kitchen.

Looking at today's briquettes, lump coal and a lot of briquettes left, Lin Shengli felt that the coal for this winter should be enough.

Use lump coal when cooking, use briquettes before going to bed at night, and use a mixture of honeycomb briquettes and briquettes when pressing the fire.

After Lin Shengli packed up the coal, he began to add water to the heater and turn it on for testing.

After adding water, Lin Shengli started to use the new stove to heat the food and cook at the same time.

Today's meal is relatively simple, including scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes in vinegar, and large white steamed buns that I had saved before.

After the meal was cooked, the heater began to slowly turn on, and the temperature in the room slowly began to rise.

Today's temperature is pretty good. It was around 10 degrees during the day, and now it's around [-] or [-] degrees in the evening. I can't say how cold it is.

But Lin Shengli also had to wear underwear, a sweater and a jacket.

After the food was served, Lin Shengli began to feel a little hot.

During the meal, Lin Shengli's thick clothes began to be taken off one by one, and finally he was left with only his single clothes and pants.

After finishing the meal, Lin Shengli looked at the thermometer he took out from the space. It was already twenty degrees in the room.

By the time Lin Shengli was about to go to bed, after a long period of heating by the heater, the temperature in the room was already 23-[-] degrees Celsius.

Lin Shengli felt particularly comfortable at such a temperature, so Lin Shengli went to the kitchen to turn down the stove door and turn on the fire, ensuring that it would burn until tomorrow morning. In this case, even if the heating was not so strong, The temperature in the room can also be maintained at [-] or [-] degrees.

I don't know if Lin Shengli was so lucky. As soon as he turned on the heater, Sijiucheng turned on the rapid cooling mode that night, and the temperature at night fell directly to subzero.

The daytime temperature the next day was only about two or three degrees.

But these have nothing to do with Lin Shengli. Now his home can be said to be as warm as spring, except for wearing a vest and eating popsicles!

Unlike Lin Shengli's comfort, the neighbors in the courtyard seemed a little overwhelmed by the sudden drop in temperature.
In previous years, these people in the courtyard usually prepared supplies for winter in early December, and even earlier around late November.

Unexpectedly, this sudden drop in temperature caught everyone off guard, so they had to put on more clothes to resist the cold.Those with better conditions in the yard, such as the first uncle's house and the second uncle's house, still have a lot of coal stored in the house, so they can either burn the stove or make a brazier in the house.

And most people are either reluctant to part with it, or their homes are too difficult to store coal and they dare not light a fire to keep warm!
The third uncle's family here, who is very economical, even took out a brazier to keep the family warm.

But for such a big family, just one brazier is not enough, and they have to take turns using it.

Besides, the third uncle is not willing to burn lumps of coal or anything like that. He only burns briquettes and briquettes together. This firepower is inherently insufficient, and he is not willing to use the amount. It is strange that the room can be warm.

No, after one night, the two children of the third uncle's family were both cold and cold.

Yan Jiekuang, a young boy, although he kept sneezing and shed tears, fortunately he didn't have a fever.

But Yan Jiedi, the youngest daughter of Lao Yan's family, didn't eat well, didn't have much nutrition, and often didn't have enough to eat. She didn't have any resistance, so she immediately fell ill!

Seeing Yan Jiedi's face was sallow and listless, the third aunt touched Yan Jiedi's forehead with her hand, and then said anxiously: "Old Yan, Jiedi has a fever, and she is very hot. What should I do?"

Hearing that Yan Jiedi had a fever, the third uncle was also a little worried.

If someone else's child has a fever or a cold, they will definitely go to the hospital as soon as possible or give the child medicine as soon as possible.

But the third uncle's family is used to being careful with their money, and they are reluctant to even take medicine, let alone go to the hospital.

Most of the people in these three uncles' families had to deal with minor ailments, hoping that they would get better on their own.

But today, Yan Jiedi had a fever that was so hot that her hands were hot. Just holding on hard was not enough.

So the third uncle thought for a while and said: "Old woman, go and get a few more quilts to cover Jie Di first, then get some ginger, boil some water for Jie Di and Xie Kuang to drink, and then go and build the house , go and bring the brazier over and let Jie Di cook it first."

The current set is already the most economical and optimal solution that the third uncle can think of.

It's not that he doesn't want to take the two children to the hospital or get medicine prescribed.

In fact, apart from barely having enough to eat, the family can no longer afford any extra money.

He has to support such a large family with his own salary. If he doesn't plan carefully, the whole family will starve to death.

Yan Jie became a couple after the brazier was taken away, but they were very unhappy.

It was agreed that each room would take turns using the brazier for two hours. It had just been their turn to use the brazier for a while, and it was about to be taken away.

But seeing that Yan Jiedi was indeed sick and needed warmth, they couldn't say no.

However, although Yan Jiecheng's daughter-in-law Yu Li did not object to taking care of Yan Jiedi's sister-in-law, she still had some complaints about the third uncle, so she murmured:
"Since Jie Di is sick, can't we light a brazier or bring a stove in to burn it?"

Hearing his wife's muttering, Yan Jie immediately followed suit and said, "Yes, dad, if not, just light an extra brazier. Our house has only been roasting for a while!"
