Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

The mother and daughter slowly set out on their way home. In the cold wind, Xiao Youniang sighed softly, her voice subtle but clear: "Mom, just now Brother Xiaoshu from the village chief's family quietly told me that Grandma Cui Fen passed away..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Niang couldn't help but stop and looked at her daughter distressedly, and asked softly, "You Niang, do you know Grandma Cui Fen?"

Little Youniang nodded vigorously, and the two braids on her head trembled: "Grandma Cui Fen is a good person. She often went up the mountain to pick fruits for me to eat. Every time grandma wanted to punish me, she would hide me in her home for refuge. But Brother Xiaoshu said that Grandma Cui Fen was frozen to death... on the bed, how can someone be frozen to death on the bed? If there was a fire under the bed, would Grandma Cui Fen stay with us?"

The little girl's voice was full of confusion and doubt, as well as a hint of fear of death that she had not yet realized.

Wu Niang had a gentle smile on her lips. Just as she was about to open her mouth to explain to the little sister in her arms the life wisdom about not lighting a fire under the bed...

Suddenly, Zhang Siwa clapped his hands, as if he had been struck by some flash of inspiration. He laughed loudly and said, "Hey, that's right! Let's build a small stove under the bed. Why did I miss this good idea?"

"Brother, can we really build a stove under the bed?"

When Xiao Youniang heard that her proposal was approved, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Seeing this, Zhang Siwa laughed and lifted up his chubby sister who looked expectant. He gently kissed her on the pink forehead and said lovingly, "Of course! Come, I'll take you home and build you a small stove myself!"

Wu Niang was about to speak up to dissuade them, worried that Zhang Siwa would make trouble with his younger sister, but Zhang Sanwa waved his hand and said in a broad-minded manner, "It's okay. It's cold outside. It's good to let Siwa accompany Young Niang to have some fun at home. At least they don't have to go out and get cold."

Wu Niang thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.

You Niang has been a very curious child since she was young. In the past, she was bound by many rules in the Zhang family. Now that she has a family who truly loves her, she is like a bird without shackles, and all kinds of strange questions gush out like a spring.

When she asked about weapons, Wu Niang could still deal with it with her superficial knowledge. But when she asked questions like "Why do the four seasons change from spring flowers blooming to snowy days?", "Why do leaves turn yellow and fall in winter?", "Why are tigers and humans so different?", even Zhang Sanwa and Wu Niang, who had more experience, were speechless.

Zhang Sanwa once thought silently in private that although the knowledgeable Mr. Zhou loved Youniang so much, he never formally accepted her as his disciple. Perhaps he was worried that he would not be able to cope with Youniang's endless and imaginative ideas.

So, Xu Liyun led the two little guys and followed closely behind Zhang Siwa and Xiao Youniang, while Zhang Siwa held Xiao Youniang's hand. The two of them laughed all the way and trotted back to their warm home.

Once the two children had an idea in their minds, they immediately put it into action without hesitation.

It was Zhang Siwa’s first time trying to build a stove, but he knew nothing about it, so he could only conduct the experiment secretly in an abandoned room in the backyard.

They started by selecting the mud needed to build the stove. Zhang Siwa even borrowed paper and pen from his brother. He took his ignorant but happy little mother to play with the mud in the room for several days.

In the end, not only Zhang Sanwa and Wu Niang, but even the usually cautious Xu Liyun was moved by their persistence and joined their "furnace-making army".

When Zhang Laoer finished his busy work outside and returned home full of worry, ready to inquire about the latest situation at home, what caught his eyes was half of the yard covered in mud, and two little guys who were dirty but smiling.

Before he could ask, Xiao Youniang couldn't wait to pull his hand and insisted on taking him to see the "miracle" that had just been born in the abandoned room in the west wing.

Pushing open the door, Xu Liyun and the other two children were inside. Although the room seemed a bit messy, in the corner, a square, plain earthen stove stood out and was particularly eye-catching.

At this time, Zhang Sanwa was sticking his butt out, carefully stuffing small pieces of firewood into the vent of the stove. With a rustling sound, a small flame quietly poked its head out of the furnace and gradually grew stronger. Above the stove, a faint vapor rose with light smoke.

Although Zhang Laoer had some doubts in his mind, before he could open his mouth, Xiao Youniang had already pulled his hand and gently placed it on the slightly warm stove surface which was not yet completely dry.

A delicate warmth slowly passed through the rough stove surface and into Zhang Laoer's eyes. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he suddenly turned to his second son, his eyes full of surprise and approval.

Zhang Siwa had a satisfied smile on his face, his chin slightly raised, his eyes sparkling with pride, and he said loudly: "See, you guessed it right! As long as the stove is heated up, we can light a big fire underneath, and the stove will stay warm all night, so we don't have to worry about the cold when we sleep at night!"

The simple and rustic earthen stove, made of rough loess and gravel, gradually emitted soft warmth in the cold wind, gradually warming Zhang Laoer's hands that were almost numb from the cold.

His ears echoed with his son's tender and expectant words. His eyes fell tenderly on the little girl. There were traces of mud on her little face. Her innocent look made people feel pity for her.

At the same time, he noticed that his hands and those of his children were covered with traces of hard work - a mixture of dirt and sweat.

Looking at those eyes in front of him, which were tired but still shining with hope, Zhang Laoer couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth into a warm smile.

He may not understand how this earthen stove miraculously condensed temperature, but he deeply felt a power, a power that could dispel the cold and bring comfort to many people in this harsh winter.

This earthen stove made by Zhang Laoer seems to have become a small fortress against the severe winter cold.

This incident soon caused a stir in Zhangjiazhuang, making the entire village boil.

Initially, most villagers were skeptical. After all, on a winter night when even the warmest hot water bottle could not completely protect against the cold, what use could such a crude-looking earthen kang have?

There are only a few believers, and doubt and confusion permeate everyone's heart.

However, when the respected old village chief personally stepped into Zhang Laoer's humble thatched cottage and witnessed with his own eyes the amazing warmth released by this earthen kang, which looked ordinary in appearance but actually held a secret, all his doubts disappeared.
