Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 98

    Blooming. Less than half a month after the golden millet and beans entered the warehouse, Youzhou entered winter, and you could see white water vapor even when you exhaled. The first snow has not yet fallen, but the immigrants who have lived in Liaodong County for nearly five years also know that once it rains, it must be covered by snow flakes.

    Zhaojiazhuang is still busy. The women both sew winter clothes and process grain; while the young and middle-aged people go into the mountains in droves to cut wood. Wenxian lacks coal, and Dalian also lacks coal. This is the biggest shadow lingering on Cao’s head in southern Liaoning. I know that there are large coal mines in the north, but none of them can be exploited:

    Fuxin was once the largest open-pit coal mine in Asia, but now it is located on the borders of Eastern Liaoning, Western Liaoning and Xianbei.

    Fushun in later generations, known as the Coal Capital, was a good mine that once made the Japanese invaders jealous, but now it is still sleeping on the border between Xuandu County and Goguryeo. There is a county seat called Xigaima, which is a semi-military station with mixed ethnicities. To mine with all kinds of ethnic disputes and the possible invasion of Goguryeo, I feel a toothache just thinking about it.

    As for the other large coal mines, it is farther, far beyond the borders of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

    To sum up, although we have arrived in the northeast, which is rich in minerals, firewood is still the main source of fuel for Cao’s immigrant villages. Fortunately, Dalian produces lime ore, and Liaodong has more pyrite, which allows the cement sealing wall around the village to be built higher and higher with the support of sufficient raw materials. In just five years, small fortresses were built.

    Among them, Zhaojiazhuang under Wenxian County is the most spectacular.

    The three-meter-high wall encircles an earth **** more than 20 meters high, and there is Cao’s dock castle. The houses of more than 100 immigrant families, with white walls, red tiles and black columns, are neatly arranged, shining with dazzling brilliance in the sun. It can be called a small town.

    An ox cart carrying Ta’an drove over the simple wooden bridge above the moat and entered Zhaojiazhuang through the doorway.

    “The wooden bridge is damaged and needs to be replaced urgently.” Uncle Qing took out a small pen, licked the tip of the pen with saliva, melted the frozen ink, and wrote it down on the wooden slip he carried with him. Such a sentence. He was old, and it was very inconvenient to write on the car. By the time he finished writing, the ox cart had stopped in front of the Bu family’s hut.

    He sighed: “I’m old and useless.” The movement of jumping out of the car was still vigorous.

    Ta’an sticks out her little head from the tent: “Qingweng is strong. When I get married, I will invite Qingweng to drink two jars of wine and eat ten pounds of meat.”

    “Haha, you know what it means to marry a wife, it’s pure nonsense.” Qing Bo stretched out his hand and took Xiaodouding out of the car, “Go, don’t you always clamor to play with everyone’s boys? ?”

    As soon as Da An landed, she rushed into the house like a small cannonball. He was wrapped tightly, with a dog-skin hat on his head, a mink jacket on his body, and wolf-skin boots on his feet. It looked like a fluffy ball, and it rolled into it.

    Da Bu’s wife, Mrs. Chen, was cooking the broth when she was startled by the hairballs rolling along with the fragrance, and almost dropped the spoon into the pot. “Oh, look who’s here? Isn’t this An Lang?”

    Ta’an raised her head, and a smile appeared on her red face: “Hello Aunt Chen. It’s An Lang.”

     “Did An Lang come to steal meat again?”

    “No,” Ta’an wrinkled her nose and said aggrieved, “I didn’t steal.”

    “It’s fine, I didn’t steal.” Mrs. Chen patted Xiaodouding’s head, “It’s not a coincidence that you are here, Uncle Bu is on duty. Zhen went to play in the backyard of the nursery hall, and even the second uncle went to help people to pan kang…”

    Chen Shi was really surprised: “Why did you come back so early today? Did you skip class?”

    “How is that possible?!” Ai stomped her feet, “Today is the season of firewood accumulation, the school only has half a day, and in the afternoon, we go to the fields to transport straw. be able to return early.”

    Daughter became more and more articulate, Chen couldn’t keep up with her, so she had to silently steam millet rice. She originally baked bread, but Ta An couldn’t eat hard bread at a young age, so she still made millet rice properly.

    Alian stretched out her hand to squeeze Ta’an’s little face: “Come on, I’ll take you to Liu’s house at the head of the village. The second uncle gave them a pan today. Didn’t you always want to see it? How is the kang set up?”

    Taian hugged Alian’s arm: “Okay, alright, thank you sister Alian.”

    A primary school student and a kindergartener ran out of the house like a gust of wind, leaving only Mrs. Chen reluctantly shouting: “Look at An Lang! If he wants to be good or bad, I’ll take it out. your skin!”

    A Shi, who had been in the shadows as a wallflower, held his sword and seemed to follow slowly. However, in a blink of an eye, it was nowhere to be seen.

    The various accidents that Chen’s worried about did not happen. When it was time for dinner, Bu Er came back with two children, and there were oil stains on the corners of his mouth. After a while, the eldest daughter Ahan also got off work from the hospital and returned home with the younger son Azhen.

    Bu Da will be on duty until midnight today, and he has long said that he will not come back. So there were only five hosts and two guests for dinner. Oh, A Shi hadn’t served yet, so he took a piece of Roujiamo and stood nibbling on it.

    Millet rice, stewed mushrooms with stick bones, fried cabbage with shredded eggs and pork, a rare hearty meal. After all, new things such as soybean oil and iron pans are not affordable for every household, and half of the management is at fault.

    Ta’an’s mouth was full of oil. Although it is a farmhouse meal, in his opinion, it is more appetizing than the honey bear paw of a wealthy family. There were people who cared about him during the meal. “An Lang, I heard that you were injured in Dalian, is there any hindrance?”

    Ta An took off her dog skin cap when she was eating, revealing a bandage wrapped around her forehead. He giggled and said while gnawing at the flesh and bones: “It’s just the flesh wound, I don’t feel any pain. It’s the second son who stayed with me for seven days and told me stories.”

    Ali slapped him: “You are so beautiful. Do you still want to get a little injury to win the favor of the second son?”

    Ta An lowered her head, her small eyes drifting: “An Lang is not. An Lang is a good boy.” He was completely hidden from the eyes of adults. Even the fourteen-year-old Ah Han shook his head with a smile.

    The atmosphere in the room was harmonious, when I heard the cry of a middle-aged woman from outside the door: “Chen Ayao! You are a good man, so you look down on others, right?” Very.

    Chen Shi and his uncle looked at each other and put down their chopsticks at the same time. The ugliness of the family cannot be made public, not to mention that it is really unlucky when the master of the family is a guest. “Alian, you stay in the room to watch your Adi and An Lang. Don’t cause trouble!” Chen shi glared at the little daughter who was so excited that she almost shouted that she was going to go out and abuse the scumbag. out of the house.

    If Ta An can still eat at this time, then he is not An Lang who can look and talk. Xiaodouding first put a dog skin cap on himself to cover the unsightly bandage on his head, and then hopped to the back of Alian’s case to tug at her sleeve. “Sister Alian, let’s go and listen? Quietly?”

    A Zhen is a normal little beanie, and he was taught by his friends: “A Zhen is quiet, so that his mother will not find out.”

    Ali was pouting, she heard the words and stood up, holding each other: “Go!” With her mother’s fighting power, she was afraid that she would suffer. Alian gently led the two children from the side of the main hall to the door, and perfectly hid her figure with the help of the jujube tree in the courtyard. Before she could touch the door panel, she heard the noise outside.

    “How did you borrow millet beans from my family when your family couldn’t afford food? Now you look down on my son! In terms of appearance, my rich man is also a talent; in terms of family wealth, my old man The Chen family is not as big as Bu Da, but they still have three years of surplus food. In terms of closeness and distance, the two children are also cousins ​​who grew up together. On the other hand, it is a good marriage. “

    “Sister-in-law, we don’t have a marriage contract, you came here suddenly…”

    “That’s not to say that your family Ahan cleanses the body of the wild man every day, and ruins his reputation! If this is not to break the bones and connect the kiss, why bother my son—”

    “You don’t have to feel sorry for cousin Fu.” This is Ahan’s small voice, and without looking at Alian, she can imagine her sister’s blushing rabbit.

    “Don’t be ignorant!” Chen’s sister-in-law’s voice raised an octave, making it sharp and sharp, “If Afu hadn’t begged me, I wouldn’t want such a daughter-in-law! Who The girl in the family is sixteen and still not engaged? That is, in Youzhou, Fangyanzhou, you are going to be fined by the court. Even the reputation of the old Chen family is not good. You are the granddaughter of the village elder. Think about it for yourself, and think about it for your three cousins!”

    Ahan was not strong enough, so Bu Er had to come out to support his eldest niece. He was in the period of changing his voice, and the male duck’s voice was particularly low: “A bad reputation is also the reputation of the Bu family, don’t bother your Chen family. Worry! And you also know that this is Youzhou, and the rules are different from Yanzhou. If you criticize the words of the main medical hall, you can do it yourself next time.”

    “You!” The opposite side seemed to be strangled.

    “I’m doing fine in the medical school.” Ahan said in a soft voice, “I have four-season clothes and monthly money. The doctor said that I had talent and wanted to recommend me to the medical school. .”

    “That’s right.” Alian didn’t hold back, she jumped out from behind the door panel to help her sister, “Why is it shameful to work for the master’s family? If you have the ability, don’t go to the hospital if you get sick!”

    “What do you know, little girl? Work is a man’s business—”

    “Bah! Is steward Yan a woman, and whether Doctor Ding is a woman? Aweng and village elders have to salute when they meet. My elder sister is young, with good grades and willing to work, so she went to Dalian for further studies. In a few years, it may not be possible to become the second Yan Guanshi Ding Dayi. If you marry and have children now, that will be a waste of time! Relatives and relatives, prevent people from making progress, are you marrying or feuding? “

      also sneaked away. Alian is still unfulfilled: “The short-sightedness of the mouse, the Chen family is useless.”

    Chen was so angry that her chest went up and down, she couldn’t say a word for a long time, and she didn’t know if she was angry with the Chen family or the little girl. Instead, Bu Er touched the little niece’s dog’s head: “You all know that mice are short-sighted, it’s amazing.”

    Ta An and Bu Zhen applauded Miss Sister: “It’s amazing.”

    Alian covered the top of her head not to touch: “I’m growing. Second uncle, go and touch Azhen.”

    Bu Er laughed, picked up the one-meter-four Ahan with one hand and walked to the main hall: “Even the steward Yan took it out to talk about it? But it broke you badly.”

    Yan Guanshi is not Yan, but Yu. But because she was the supervisor of Liaodong in the Procuratorate, she had the power to investigate the case, and she was unselfish, so she was dubbed Yu Yan Wang by the same class of students. “Yan Wang” is still a new word introduced by Buddhism, but it seems that this kind of nickname spreads very fast among the people. Now everyone is calling Yan Guanshi, and few people really know about this guy who just turned 20. The strong woman’s surname is Yu.

    Yu Yan is a benchmark set by Ah Sheng. In recent years, he has gradually inspired a group of female students who are willing to support themselves. The situation in Liaodong is different from that in other places where all orphaned slaves are all slaves. The large and small families who have fled cannot be all slaves. She can only fight the clan forces through roundabout means, whether it is compulsory education, encouragement to separate families. Or promoting girls is just one of the means.

    Of course, the game in the big picture is not something that Ta An can understand. He only knew that it was good for him to get along with the Bu family. After all, this is a good family that can be famous with the second son. In the future, as long as he doesn’t die, he can still rise a liter.

    Ta An spent two days on the fire of Bu’s house, and received a notice from A Shi one afternoon: “Your two aunts have arrived at the entrance of the village, I will take you there.”

    Yes, he came to Zhaojiazhuang this time mainly to meet his aunts who were visiting relatives. Second Young Master always felt that the injury incident was a grievance to him, and all kinds of compensation seemed like he didn’t need money. He laughed at the other compensations, only meeting with his aunts made him less interested.

    The nine aunts are strict, and the eight aunts are confused.

    The author has something to say:

    Gongsun Du, a historical figure, is a bit biased, so let me briefly introduce him. He was the hometown of Dong Zhuo’s general Xu Rong. When Dong Zhuo ascended the throne, he followed the chickens and dogs to heaven and became the prefect of Liaodong. At that time, due to the rebellion of Xianbei in the north, the land passage from Liaodong to the Central Plains was completely cut off. Therefore, Gongsun Du was logically divided into Liaodong. It was not until the time of his grandson Gongsun Yuan that he was defeated by Sima Yi, and Liaodong was incorporated into the territory of Wei.
