Wife and children hot kangtou, thirty acres of land a cow. This sentence is a specific depiction of a good life in our Weijiawan people before. A family of one cow, cultivating thirty acres of land, harvesting enough grain for a family to eat, corn straw in the field to feed the cattle, cotton firewood and piecemeal cutting cooking and burning, cold winter nights, kang warm and warm, the family is happy and harmonious, this is not the happiest day.
In the past, the days of each family were almost the same, entering the house, a table at the door, against the wall is The Kang occupies half of the room, and adults and children are crowded on the Kang. Kang is the ancients specially invented and created for winter, some people put the kang plate in the kitchen house, and the stove is connected, so that when cooking, the fireworks through the kang in the chimney, the rice is ready, the kang is also hot, killing two birds with one stone. Kang in the north is every family, and has a long history, looking forward to the meaning of literature, when there is a fire, there is a kang. South Korea applied for the world cultural heritage, we are lazy to fight with him, this is not the hand of the hand of the thing, with the kang to say things.
In the past, the kang of each family was not very good to burn, and when the kang was built, it was just thinking that the firewood was not enough to burn, the flue fire was not enough size, the adobe was dozens of pounds, how thick was a piece, and the old half a day could only heat up. Therefore, it is necessary to put on the kang on the half-day and night, and the entropy is a special word, which means that the fire is slowly burned, and the fire is not started, so that the heat is long. Kang winter is a good place, summer is not adaptable, will return to the tide, Kang Cave a tidal earthy smell. The eldest daughter is older, and she wants to sleep in a separate bed, so she chooses a bed, and the bed can be moved at will, unlike Kang, who can't move the place for a lifetime. In addition, the little young is not afraid of the cold, the adults give a small warm kettle, that is, the bottle of infusion, plugged in the bed and said no. Warm water bags for four or five dollars a piece, reluctant to buy. Later, some people said that there are electric mattresses sold in the city, plugged in electricity is hotter than Kang, the elderly people, are half suspicious, sleeping on the electric mattress, can not imagine, anyway, love urine Kang is definitely not OK.
Kang, children and the elderly are inseparable.
Children get married, daughters-in-law pregnant parents can not be just happy, to be numb to prepare for the preparation of children, mother-in-law to prepare for the bridesmaids, small clothes, small quilts and so on a dry supplies, do the father-in-law to operate the pan kang, to find a good craftsmanship, the pan of the kang can not burn smoke. Kang should be plated when it is hot, dried thoroughly, bought kang mats from the set, and beaten well. In the past, children slept in sand bags, and kang was cold.
There are old people in the family, and they also have to sleep in the hot kang in winter, as the saying goes, "the stupid boy sleeps in the cold kang, all by virtue of vitality", people can't do it when they are old. Whose children are filial or not, the clear-eyed people will know it at a glance. The door of the house was opened early in the morning, and the cotton curtain was hung, and the window was white and solid. Kang burned to touch, warm hands. The old man's face is good, his breath is sufficient, and he has the strength to talk to people. Some people's families, the son single passed, there is kung fu to see the old man at a glance, the old man has good legs and good feet can make his own food, once lying on the kang, the son delivers food. To burn the kang on the left, clear the pot cold stove, the second half of the kang is cold, a cold will not eat much, the old man will not last for a few days. There is a saying that goes well, "Don't look at the child now, hurt him rarely, sooner or later pull you down on the kang".
In the mid-eighties, the days were better, many people demolished the kang and changed the bed, wooden or iron, the bed became a gust of wind, the women of each family bought bright sheets to change, and gradually the big set of kang mats sold disappeared. As life gets better and better, all kinds of heating methods have come, and stoves, soil heating, and electric mattresses have also been used.
I don't know who opened the head, there are those who came back from the northeast, feel that the home is cold, and bring back the technology of the northeast Fortress. This kind of kang is good to burn, not to pour smoke at all, unlike our local kang, when it is burning, the house is full of smoke, and the people who choke are in tears, and use the fan to help the fan wind that grunts at the door of the kang. So one passed on ten to ten hundred, all scrambling to find people who mastered this technology. The people who would meet saw this business opportunity, and wrote small advertisements on the walls of each village and left mobile phone numbers. After the beginning of a hundred, the number of people found in Pan Yi Kang rose to two hundred. Kang also began to pay attention to it, pasting tiles and laying artificial leather. Sit on the kang, drink tea and chat about melon seeds, drink wine and brag about mahjong, not to mention how moist it is.
When my daughter was born in July, I thought that there was a stove in the house, to get a soil heater, and the child did not sleep in the sand, so I ignored the kang, and as a result, it was difficult to survive in the winter. Every time my daughter had a cold, my wife complained that I didn't say a word, and I immediately looked for someone to build a kang over the years.
When the kang is built, the neighbors all come to see why it is good to burn, and where is the difference. I have also not seen what the previous kang is constructed, and I will listen to them when they study it. In fact, there is nothing special, that is, the inside is raised, the distance from the kang surface is only thirty or forty centimeters, all the heat is stored in the most effective space, and then the diameter of the chimney is increased, leaving a falling ash hall below. Kang Dang door is also big, the whole stick straw can be stuffed in, this Kang is not hot to blame.
With the lesson of the cold winter, I had a different feeling for the kang, went to the place where the chainsaw was pulled early, booked the sawdust, and pulled it back to the open shed. I think the sawdust burns slowly, what corn stalk cob core, broken wood as long as the yard looks at what can be burned, all stuffed into the kang hole, and then run to the back of the house to see the chimney whirring smoke belt mars. Kangtou Kang tail not to mention how hot it is, counting nine cold days lying on the kang, it is simply the same place as poetry and far away. Regret the winter I had suffered before, and the slow and long night I had survived.
At first, my wife also praised me, watched me all day long, used my little wisdom and physical practice, stuffed combustibles into the kang cave, and gradually began to be afraid. A strong said, don't be so hot, cut off the cold on the line, don't burn the mattress paste. I answered in my mouth, taking advantage of her lack of attention, or a strong fire, and finally a word into a word, not only the mattress but also the quilt is paste.
The first time was on the ground, picking up an old tree root, not big or small just able to stuff into the Kang Dang door. In the middle of the night, the cold wind whistled outside the window, and I was thinking in the bed what the double heaven of ice and fire meant. In the second half of the night, my wife said that I couldn't sleep hot, and asked me to open the mattress to see, I also felt that my feet were sweating, and I opened a stream of hot air, the mattress was already pasted, and the cotton wool exposed was shining with a little red Spark, and my wife shouted at me to scoop the water quickly.
The second time there was a bit of evil door, I saw the side of the road when I was rushing to the market, the seller of waste threw a bunch of broken leather shoes, I did not go to the set, installed on the pedal three wheels and pulled back. One night, I burned a corn stalk, threw in two pairs of leather shoes, and in the morning the kang was also hot, for more than a month, until about the tenth day of the first lunar month, the leather shoes were burned. One day the north wind was strong, the kang that burned the first night, the next day there was smoke, the big black smoke was blown away by the wind, and all that fell was the gray spikes. The bedding on the kang was steaming, I rolled the futon to the side, touched it with my hand, and the kang noodles began to burn my hands. My wife said that I was going to assassinate her and the child, and I said no, nor did I dare. In this way, there was no fever for three days, and I did not dare to sleep on the kang. People passing by wondered what I was burning, and one of the people who understood said that it was kang oil.
I came out to work for four years, and I'm going to be five years soon. The kang at home is no longer burning, and the gas wall hanging furnace is pressed. The land was also rented out, there was no corn stalks, and the cauldrons were not burned. The time has become a memory.
The ground is exquisite, and the fire cave is quiet.
Chang Shu slept on two feet, and the warm rhythm returned to Zou at the beginning.
Three feet of snow in front of the door, snorting squarely.
