Lin Tieqiang scratched his head.

"I thought the bigger the piece, the better, so it can burn longer."

Shen Dahe smiled, pointed at the water he poured just now and said:

"Under normal circumstances, we have to water, firstly, to make the coal moist, so that whether you are adding coal or sweeping the floor next to it, it will not cause too much soot. Otherwise, you will Smoking too much is not good for our health, and at the same time, this house can be cleaner."

As he spoke, Shen Dahe looked around again.

"Look, your room is as noisy as a boiler room that has been burning for more than ten years. Every time you bring back the coal, you wipe some water on the floor and sweep it. You bring back more coal at a time. It saves trouble and is clean.”

As Shen Dahe spoke, he handed the broom to Lin Tieqiang and motioned him to sweep the floor, and Lin Tieqiang obediently did so.

"Brother Dahe, did you just say that watering is just for cleanliness?"

"Of course not. Wet the coal a little. It will burn well and burn evenly. Don't add water. The coal will burn brightly at the beginning, and the temperature will rise quickly. Then it will go out after a while, and the temperature will drop instantly. Well, for the job of burning a boiler, you have to learn to control the temperature. It is best to maintain this temperature all the time, otherwise it will be a waste of coal when it is hot and cold. Not to mention the indoor temperature changes too much, and people will easily catch a cold."

"You know so much!"

Lin Tieqiang said with emotion:

Looking at Lin Tieqiang's admiring gaze, Shen Dahe felt a little carried away.

Waving his hands, he pretended to be humble and said:

"It's so bad. It's not that great. I burned a boiler in a factory for a while. The old master told me all this. It's not all for making a living."

Mrs. Wei smiled.

"No matter how you say it, you have an extra skill that you can use sooner or later, Qiangzi. During this period, you will learn from your brother Dahe and learn how to burn a boiler!"

Lin Tieqiang was a little stunned.

"Mom, doesn't Brother Dahe know it? What else should I learn?"

Mrs. Wei glared at Lin Tieqiang.

“Learn a skill and you’ll be able to use it sooner or later!”

"Mom, I can't use it?"

"It will be used to find a job later."

"What?"

"You are older now, sixty, and it is no longer easy to find a job. Boilermaker is a popular job among the elderly. If you don't have some real skills, people won't use you at all. You can do well now Learn, and you can still find a job burning boilers if you don’t have time to prepare!”

Shen Dahe nodded in agreement.

"Sister Wei is right, it is indeed difficult to find a job now, so I am very grateful to you, Sister Wei, for giving me this job opportunity. Don't worry, I will work hard and strive to burn less coal and increase the temperature!"

Mrs. Wei was moved and stepped forward to pat Shen Dahe on the shoulder!

After changing the boiler, the temperature inside the house suddenly became different.

After briefly moving her body on the ground, Grandma Li took off her jacket and got into bed.

"Sister Niu, this river is really capable. You said they are all burning the same coal, but the temperature is really different!"

Niu Cuifen also quickly took off her coat.

After Shen Dahe finished burning at noon, he returned to his room and told Yu Fang what happened today.

"This job is no easier than my job at the ice factory, and I make even more money."

Shen Dahe took off his coat, lay comfortably on the bed and continued:

"I thought that when the two of us came here, we would have no source of income except pensions. Now we have a job and earn quite a lot."

Seeing the old man's proud look, Yu Fang curled her lips.

"Look at how arrogant you are, have you thanked Sister Wei properly? It's all thanks to Sister Wei. How long has it been since I've been here with this arm? Look at it now, there's nothing wrong with it."

When Yu Fang arrived, although her arms could move, they were nowhere near as flexible as they are now.

Shen Dahe also said with emotion:

"Yes, we were lucky to have listened to the children!"

In the afternoon, Lin Tieli delivered the finished down jacket and also brought good news.

"Yes! Really?"

Mrs. Wei looked in disbelief!

"How can it be false? The little cub is in my belly now?"

While talking, Lin Tieli patted his belly.

Wang Xiaomeng, who was behind him, was so frightened that he quickly held Lin Tieli's hands.

"Have you been to the hospital?"

"Mom, don't worry, we have already been to the hospital. It's been almost two months now."

"Oh, this is really great. Xiaoxing, come with me to catch chickens. Let's kill them at noon!"

Lin Tieli heard this and threw away the hawthorn cake in his hand, wiped his hands and shouted:

"Mom, are you going up the mountain? I'll go too."

"What the hell, come in and let me rest. You're already pregnant and you're still messing around outside. Xiaomeng, keep an eye on your wife."

"Yes, Mom, don't worry."

Lin Tieli stamped his feet.

"Mom, don't worry, there's nothing wrong with me. When I'm at home, my mother-in-law makes me lie in bed every day. I'm dying of idleness, so just let me go, really!"

Mrs. Wei ran forward on her little feet, stretched out her hand, and made a gesture on Lin Tieli's body. After all, she was worried about the little one in her belly.

"Hey, hey, mom, don't you dare hit me, hahaha!"

Unexpectedly, before Lin Tieli could gloat about his misfortune, he received a blow on the head.

"Mom, if you hit me, are you afraid that something will happen to your grandson?"

"Tch, I hit you on the head, far away from the stomach. Come into the house and stay there. Do you think you are young? You are over 40 this year. Why don't you pay attention?"

Lin Tieli curled his lips and walked into the house.

Seeing Lin Tieli enter the house, Mrs. Wei gave Wang Xiaomeng a look. Wang Xiaomeng got the instruction and hurried into the house to wait on him. Here, Mrs. Wei took Grandma Yi up the mountain to catch chickens.

Ten minutes after Mrs. Wei left, Lin Tieli sneaked his head out of the room and sneaked into the dormitory quietly.

Wang Xiaomeng, who was following her, covered his waist and grinned.

"This woman, even if she is pregnant, is still very capable of pinching people!"

The little girl is pregnant, and the problem of more than 20 years has finally been solved. Mrs. Wei is happy, but the chickens on the mountain have suffered.

Wearing the big down jacket that Lin Tieli brought, colorful figures stood in the yard, looking at the chickens running around the yard and Sister Wei who was sharpening a kitchen knife.

"Sister Wei, are we really going to kill all these chickens?"

Grandma Li looked at at least 20 chickens in the yard and said with some surprise:

"Yeah, kill them all. I don't know if these are enough. We Tieli have loved eating chicken hearts since we were young. Now that we are not pregnant, we need to take a good supplement!"

Grandma Li twitched the corner of her mouth and made a fuss for a long time, killing so many chickens just for the chicken hearts!
