86. Iron in large steelmaking

Zhang Lan didn't know where her daughter knew that these things could smoke mosquitoes. "Jianqian, can you do this?"

Although Wang Qian doesn't know how it works, her grandmother said that it is used like this. It must be effective. "Mom, don't worry. I heard Hongmei talk about this before, and I guess it will work."

Come on, it's Hongmei's mother again. Zhang Lan still hasn't figured out how much Hongmei's mother has taught her daughter, but when she had dinner and went to the house, she found that the mosquitoes were really gone. The effect was really good.

Mingyuan and the two brothers also came to report the news, "Mom, there are no mosquitoes in our room. We can have a good sleep in the future." The problem of sleeping has been solved, which makes the children very happy.

"Jianqian, you can send some to your grandpa Zuo tomorrow. I guess there are more mosquitoes there, and it's better to guard the animal circle."

"I know, Dad, I'll send it to them tomorrow."

Zuo Zhanshan was also troubled by mosquitoes at this time. Everyone in the room got up to fight mosquitoes, but the oil lamp was so dim that I couldn't see the mosquitoes there at all.

"Alas, Lao Zuo, I miss my mosquito net. How good it would be if I brought it here," Wu Changyong said with some chagrin.

"Who said no? I want to think about the smell of meat now. I can't remember it." Someone was complaining.

Everyone has been eating pickles for so long. When the vegetables come down, they eat green vegetables, and there is no oil in their stomachs.

"Hey, guys, I heard that the family can come to see us, and it will be announced soon." One of them secretly revealed his first message to everyone.

"Lao Chen, is what you said true or false? We believe it." Lao Wu was also happy to hear the news.

Lao Chen looked outside the door and whispered, "I also listened to them discuss this matter when I walked through the door. I'm sure I'll know in these two days."

A group of boring old guys chatted in the room until everyone was sleepy. Even if there were mosquitoes buzzing in their ears, no one cared about it.

The next day, Wang Qian appeared in front of everyone like a timely rain. Several old guys saw what was in her hand and understood how to use it. "girl, you are really our savior."

Wu Changyong was so excited that he couldn't sleep well and was bitten by mosquitoes. Even he and other old guys who had suffered can't stand this.

Although Wang Qian didn't know the old man in front of her, she still politely shouted, "Grandpa, you can use this first. I'll pick some and send it to you later."

Zuo Zhanshan stood aside with a smile and looked at Lao Wu thanking their little girl. This old guy was not polite to others easily, and today was also an eye-opener.

"Daughter, come and play when you have time. Grandpa will have a lot of stories. I'll tell you when you have time."

Wu Changyong tried his best to make Wang Qian come here often this time. He stayed here for too long. Except for seeing these old guys, they couldn't contact the people outside at all. They often saw a lovely girl, and she was kind-hearted. Can he not seize the time to keep people? In the future Many lonely old men who accompany them can be regarded as relieving boredom, and can also relieve the pain of missing their relatives.

With the little thought in the old man's heart, of course, Wang Qian can understand that she is not a real child. She raised her little face and said with a smile, "Okay, I will often come to play with you in the future." After eye contact with Mr. Zuo, he turned the basket and went home.

I packed up when I got home and went to the space when I had nothing to do. The corn cob had formed, and I felt that it should be edible. The growth rate in the space is much faster than that of the outside world. She wants to break some corn and cook it, but she still hesitates a little.

Now the grain is not very good, and the members rarely eat bract rice. If they eat like that, they will lose a lot of weight compared with when they are ripe. Let's wait until her mother comes back. The wheat grains have begun to be on the seeds, and the soil in the space is a little dry. She has to get some water to water

He turned the frame and went out of the house. He went to the reservoir to collect the water and fish. He went straight to the place where he caught the crab last time and thought about getting something to sell in the city. At this time, the crab had already laid its eggs, so there were not so many scruples to catch it.

However, even so, her hand was still pinched by the crab. It hurt. Fortunately, she caught a lot. She kept it in the bucket in the space, and then walked up the orchard on the east side. She had never been here. She picked some wild vegetables and took a look by the way. There was a narrow ditch here, but the bottom of It seems to have been artificially suppressed. It is surrounded by shrubs, and people who are not familiar with the situation don't know what's going on inside.

Walking down the ditch, a black stone attracted her attention. The stone was quite large, surrounded by potholed, and the lower half was still buried in the ground. It felt a sense of metal. Why didn't it feel like a stone? Although she couldn't say it well, she always felt that it should be iron, but she didn't. I've seen such a large piece of iron. Besides, even if it is iron, how can it appear here? Since it looks like a good thing, she can't let it go. She went into the space and packed up a place, put this thing in first, and then asked what was going on when she got home.

When the wild vegetables in the small basket were full, she didn't hurry to go back. When she was eating, she remembered this. "Dad, what do you think it used to be in the ditch on the other side of the orchard?"

Wang Zhenhe hasn't reacted yet, but after being reminded by his daughter, he recalled it again and said with a smile, "Where are you talking about? I have an impression. Wasn't it steelmaking at that time? Our brigade was there. If we talked about it, it would be far away. At that time, I was less than a I remember that at that time, the members were very enthusiastic and took all the iron and pots at home to refine them. The most interesting thing was that some people didn't have so much iron, and even the lock nose on the cabinet was pryed off and sent to the steelmaking boiler to refine. Speaking of the past, Wang Zhenhe also seems to have returned to his childhood.

"Dad, what about later, what about the refined things?" Wang Qian then asked, and she wanted to make sure whether the huge iron block in the ditch was the product of the great steelmaking period.

Wang Zhenhe shook his head and said, "Who knows? No one cares about it later. It seems that all the practice is waste, and it's useless. I guess it's thrown away."

Wang Qian is now 100% sure. The huge iron block in her hand, which is hundreds of pounds, was left at that time. Well, this time it is a big bargain for her. Although the iron block is not worth much money now, it is better than nothing.

Mingcheng and others didn't know the situation and couldn't get in, but Zhang Lan asked, "Qianqian, why do you want to ask this?"

It seems that my mother still knows about herself. "Mom, I went to that ditch to dig wild vegetables today. I felt that it was quite ordinary, so I was curious to ask."

The family was eating, and the neighbors on the same street hurried over. Wang Qian and others called him the third uncle, because this person and her mother's family were in a big team, and his hometown was also in the mountains. However, because he married a divorced woman, he moved out with his wife and children.

"Zhang Lan, your mother is sick. My brother told me about this when he came today. Do you want to go back and have a look?"

Hearing that her mother was sick, Zhang Lan was of course anxious. "Thank you, third brother. I'll pack it up and go back."

When Wang Zhenhe heard that his mother-in-law was sick, he was also a little worried. The old mother-in-law has always been in good health. If she is sick, she must be fine. Daughter-in-law, why don't I accompany you there?"

Zhang Lan shook her head and said, "No, there are still children at home. Let's do this. I'll take Qianqian back first. You take care of the three children at home. If there is nothing big tomorrow, I'll come back. Be careful at home."

Mingcheng led his sister-in-law to come over, "Mom, do you need us to ask for leave to have a look?"

Zhang Lan knew that the children were worried about his grandma's illness, and said with a smile, "No, if something happens, Mom will send a letter to you to go there. You all go to school quickly, and your grandma's mother will bring you good."

Zhang Lan simply packed up and hurried to her mother's house with her daughter, but she thought that she could meet a pheasant and hare on the way to make up for her mother, but unfortunately she didn't see anything.

"Mom, don't worry, I still have river crabs and carp caught this morning in my space. We can take that to nourish grandma's health."

Zhang Lan was really gratified by her daughter's cleverness. "Qianqian can collect more things when she goes to your grandma's house this time. Mom knows that crabs will also come down at this time. If your grandma is free, Mom will take you to catch crabs in the evening, and she can sell them at a good price. I

Wang Qian also remembered that there was something she didn't tell her mother. "Mom, the corn in the space can be eaten. Do you want to give it to grandma and let her taste it? And I picked up a large piece of iron left when I was making steel in the ditch in the morning. I guess it should be able to sell a lot of Sold it?"

Zhang Lan is gratified by having a child who can hold money at home. At the same time, she is more self-reproachful and bitter. Her daughter rarely plays with others. When she has time, she either helps her family with it or wants to make money. These things have exceeded the ability of a child to bear, and she is also a seven

"Jianqian, will you be very tired?"

Wang Qian shook her head and said, "Mom, I can go. I'm not tired."

The girl obviously didn't understand what she meant. Not to mention that the strength of holding the child in her hand was also a little heavier. When she was about to get out of the mountain, the mother and daughter just entered the space. Seeing the already heavy ears of wheat inside, Zhang Lan's heart was as sweet as honey. After that, it was all their Put it in the basket, pick up some river crabs and fish separately, and take them out when they are about to arrive at their mother's house.
