The charcoal brazier lasted almost my whole childhood and adolescence. At that time, even in the city, there was no air conditioning and almost no electric heating, not to mention Tujia huts deep in the mountains. Moreover, the houses in the mountains are all made of local materials, and the wooden diaojiao building is not closed at all, and it is ventilated on all sides. Although the winter in the south is far less cold than that in the north, I still have to wear my mother's cotton-padded jacket at the end of winter. In the mountains, the heating in winter night is to burn firewood in a square fire pit. Red flames, the master's aunt, the aunt in the west, and even the uncle and uncle across the river gather around the fire pit to chat. Talk about this year's harvest, talk about the length of the farm: whose eldest son is promising, whose sister-in-law is getting married, how much bride price, whose mother-in-law is quarreling again, and whose daughter-in-law is too fierce, which will be condemned by heaven ... The cultivators speak loudly, occasionally with a clear voice wrapped in a year's hard work, and the leisurely life in winter and the smoke of firewood linger on the wooden beams. We children first played in the yard, tired and cold, and ran to our parents' side. My parents shook their cold hands to keep warm by the fire pit. The fire pit is the most primitive charcoal fire basin, and the neat and short pit edge is made of small bluestone. Firewood is a bundle of two bundles that my mother brought back from the mountains when she was waiting for crops in the warm season. After Chen Fang, without water, it burns naturally. The countryside in winter is much less quiet and lively because of the crackling burning sound.
My mother is very hardworking. After the firewood was burned, the unfinished part was sprayed out by my mother with water and became charcoal. I picked it up and put it in a homemade fire cage for me to read and write during the day. Fire cages are mostly cut from scrap iron barrels. Put charcoal in it and light it with burning wood. .....
