Chapter 60 The Charcoal Basin

The sun and the moon fly by, never stopping, and in the blink of an eye, time has entered the winter moon. The weather is getting colder and colder. Although there is no snow in the south of the Yangtze River, it is still very cold, and there is always a kind of coldness in the air.

It was damp and cold. It seemed like everything it touched felt cold.

After having lunch early, Li Xin took Yuexiang and Yueting to the town. The weather was getting colder and colder, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. Even the town seemed to be less lively.

In this kind of weather, no one is willing to run outside. Only some children, whose playful nature has prevailed, run everywhere even in this kind of weather. When you exhale, it will be white.

heat.

The eleventh day of the winter lunar month is the eighth birthday of Wen Hao and Yuexiang. Li Xin wants to celebrate the birthdays of these two twins.

When they arrived at the house in the town, Wenbo and Wenhao happened to be in the house. There was a charcoal basin in the house, which was quite warm. Li Xin quickly took his two sisters into the house, which was enough to warm them up.

"It's so cold!" Yue Ting shouted as she ran towards the charcoal basin. After going to the charcoal basin for a good toasting, it seemed that the coldness on her clothes had dissipated.

"I knew you were coming. As soon as my brother and I came back, we lit the charcoal pot. Let's grill it. It will be warm in a while." Wen Hao greeted.

"It's really cold today, and I don't know if it's going to snow." Li Xin also went over to lean on the arhat, and then sat on the Arhat bed next to the bed. Wenbo hurriedly came out with a thick blanket. Li Xin pulled him.

Yuexiang and Yueting also sat down and wrapped their three sisters in blankets.

"I don't know! It might snow!" Wenbo answered. The south is not like the north, where there is always heavy snowfall. In the south, the weather is very cold in some years, and it will snow, but it still rains.

It's not thick, it's just a thin layer, and it will slowly melt when the sun comes out. In some years, it's not too cold, so it won't snow. So people in the south rarely see snow, and they only see it.

Only older people can talk about which year it snowed. Generally speaking, it only snows when there is heavy snow. If it doesn’t snow on that day, then there is probably no snow that year.

"Are there any charcoal pots in the academy?" After sitting for a while and regaining his breath, Li Xin asked Wen Bo and Wen Hao. It was so cold today. If there were no charcoal pots in the classroom, it would be really unbearable! It would be unbearable here!

There is no air conditioning or heating, so the only way to stay warm is by using fire.

"There are some, but there aren't many, and you can't use one per person. It's still very cold. Some people are fighting over this matter. Some people think that other people are closer to the charcoal basin and warmer, so they think it's unfair."

Wen Hao said.

"Does Master Zhou use it?"

"Master Zhou doesn't need it."

"You have really been studying hard in Hanchuang. Why don't you ask Master Zhou! See if you can bring a charcoal basin from home. The academy is not rich, so naturally it is impossible for everyone to use a charcoal basin. However, since we can

Those who go to academies should have good living conditions at home. It’s just a charcoal basin, and it’s already provided. It’s just a waste of charcoal, and it’s also used at home.” No wonder it’s said that those students in ancient times studied hard in a cold window.

Studying in ancient times was not an easy task! During this period, the weather would definitely be cold all the time. She was really afraid that Wen Bo and Wen Hao would get cold in the academy.

It's almost a month before the academy has a holiday! We can't let them stay like this forever.

"Actually, it doesn't matter! It's enough for everyone to wear two clothes. Mr. Zhou doesn't use a charcoal basin, so it's even harder for us to use it," Wenbo said.

"It will take another month for the holiday! We can't keep freezing like this all the time! What if we get frostbite? We are already wearing several pieces of clothing. If we put more clothes on, we won't be able to put them on anymore. It's better to have a charcoal basin. You guys

Go talk to Master Zhou. Master Zhou must have seen that you can't all use it, so he doesn't use it. If everyone uses it, Master Zhou may also use it. It's just a charcoal, but Master Zhou doesn't use it.

For convenience, we will give him some at home. In the academy, if there are classmates whose families are really not rich, you can also help." Li Xin naturally disagreed with Wenbo's forbearance.

We can't find cotton here, so we can't make cotton-padded jackets. Even if we wear a few clothes, they still don't have that warm feeling. In order not to get cold, they have already worn many clothes on their bodies, and they have been wrapped up like a big circle.

The balls are the same, no matter how many there are, I can’t put them on anymore. Even if I can put them on, it’s inconvenient to move by myself!

She still thinks that the Wenbo brothers should bring a charcoal pot to keep them warm. In the winter, if there are no measures to keep warm, the hands will be frozen and it will be difficult to write!

"I'll go to the master and tell him, he will probably agree." Wen Hao agreed happily. It would be great if he could use a charcoal basin. These days, the weather is getting colder and colder, and he feels that his hands are frozen and stiff when writing.

It's also very awkward. I feel like my fingers can't obey me anymore.

"Whether Mr. Zhou agrees or not, it's always good for you to talk about it. I think he won't disagree. Many of the people who go to school are children! If you get frostbite, which adult won't feel sad!"

"Sister, will you make us a cake today?" After talking about the charcoal basin, Wen Hao looked at Li Xin with a hopeful look on his face.

"Do it, why not do it? As long as you don't get tired of it, then do it. Today is your and Yuexiang's birthday! You are one year older." Li Xin rubbed Wen Hao's head. Wen Hao and Yue

Although Xiang is a twin, their temperaments are not the same at all. Wen Hao is more cheerful and dares to do many things. Yuexiang, on the other hand, is always a little shy around others. In addition to talking to his own family members, he usually does not want to face outsiders.

He doesn't talk much. He has a soft temper and is a bit timid.

However, generally speaking, both of them are good children. Although Wenhao can be naughty sometimes, he is still very measured in doing things. Yuexiang is even more diligent, and can do all the housework at home, and usually talks with

Aunt Zhang learned to make needlework. The meals she made were already very good, and her embroidery skills were getting better and better. I don’t know who would get hold of such a virtuous girl in the future.

"It's something you won't get tired of eating. It would be great if my eldest sister could make it all the time."

"Don't be dissatisfied. If you eat it every day, you will definitely get tired of it. Only if you only eat it once in a while, you will find it so delicious and you will always think about it."

"Then will eldest sister make two for us?"

"Wherever you can eat two, just make one, but you can make it bigger. If you can't finish it, it's a waste. Eat it and make it later. If you really like to eat, you can make it as usual. When I have free time, I will make something better.

Here are some snacks for you."

"Okay! Great! The food made by the eldest sister is the most delicious."
