In order to welcome the arrival of a little life, it has been delayed for so long on this Hengsha Island.

It's finally time to go again!

That night, the two men in charge called the women up for a family meeting.

The meeting unanimously decided to take advantage of this shareholder wind.

Starting today, pack up your belongings, prepare your luggage, and after about three or four days, when all the things are loaded onto the ship, you can send the ship west!

It's not a casual trip, it's a big project for the whole family!

So if you want to be fast, you can't be fast.

The next day.

Yu Le and Li Zhi continued to decorate the cabin, installed the bed frame on the sleeping cabin, laid the floor, and prepared for people to move in.

Inside the cargo hold, two layers of fixed silos are set up to store grain and coal.

The women are responsible for taking care of the house.

Taking advantage of the warm weather, I took the beds, bedding, clothes and leather goods to the river and washed them, and then dried them.

The bamboo shoots in the water bamboo forest behind the house were raised, and a group of people went to dig up the bamboo shoots, then peeled the skin, boiled them in water, cut them and dried the bamboo shoots, and ate them on the road.

Of course, several jars of sour bamboo shoots were also marinated in large vats.

On the third day, the two men moved to the ship.

Seven or eight hundred catties of black coal, more than one ton of rice, one and a half tons of sorghum, and several hundred catties of salt were all loaded onto the new ship and stored in the cargo hold.

As well as some idle clay pots and bowls, dried kelp, seaweed, bacon and other dry goods, they were also put on the boat as soon as possible and dried and stored.

Women, on the other hand, went to the beach to collect shells and crabs for the first few days of their journey.

The other part of the people rowed a small boat to the center of the island.

I cut a reed field here before, and kept the reed heads, and it was in March and April, when the reed sprouts grew.

They're going to cut a few baskets of reed sprouts and come back!

This thing, blanched with water, and then fried with sesame oil, is very tender and refreshing, and it is also a good food to eat.

Day 4.

All kinds of vegetables grown in the vegetable garden, such as wild onions, wild garlic, wild ginger, bitter hemp and the like, can be taken away, put mud in bamboo tubes, raise them and take them away.

Otherwise, harvest it, keep it fresh and take it away, and eat it as soon as possible on the way.

Tian Qiuqiu's medicine field was also cleaned up by her with Fei Fei's little head.

That old ship, just stay here, you don't have to take it with you.

However, the four lifeboats must be taken with them, because they are needed on the way!

If you want to go to the shore in the evening, go out to find food, or leave the big ship temporarily, you can't leave the big boat with you, it will be too troublesome. Which of these small lifeboats are lightweight.

Anyway, it is tied to the side of the ship on both sides of the big ship, and it doesn't take much effort to tow it.

The house on the island, after the things are emptied, there is no need to demolish it, just let it stay here as a souvenir.

It proves that their group has stayed on this land for more than half a year. Maybe it can be left for posterity archaeology in the future, if there is still life in this world.

I basically packed up my luggage and belongings, kept the bed and stove, and slept for another night.

Early in the morning of the fifth day, pack up the last things on the ship, repeat and check whether there are any left, count the numbers, and officially set sail!

The parting is imminent, and a group of women have become reluctant.

It's no wonder, after all, having lived here for so long, in the hearts of these sentimental women, it is already half a home.

How can there not be a kind of sorrow about resignation!

"Goodbye, Hengsha Island. This is my second home to leave forever! I will always remember you, I have hunted here, shaved rabbits, touched seashells!"

But this girl suddenly sighed.

Su Wu and Wu Yun, also holding their respective children, stood on the side of the boat with other women, staring at the bamboo house on the shore for a long time.

It is the first frequency of the indefinite return after the meeting!

At this time, the whole big boat, under the control of two men, slowly sailed out of this horizontal river and moved away.

As the boat went farther and farther away, and at last the old house was gone, and the women dispersed to tidy up their rooms.

For the rest of them, they will have to live on this boat for at least three months.

Women love to be clean and beautiful, so of course they have to clean up and dress up carefully.

There are a total of seven bedrooms, all of which are connected because of the limited space on the ship, separated by a fence wall, and you can talk through the fence wall when you are bored at night.

The whole cabin is built into two meters and one high, not too high, which is high to block the wind and affect the play of several fixed wings.

It's not good to be short, it's depressing to be short.

A tall man like Yu Le, who is more than 1.8 meters tall, is too short to be afraid of knocking his head.

The seven bedrooms, six of which are symmetrical, are divided by the central axis of the ship, one on the left and one on the left.

The area of each room is four square meters, and it can barely squeeze in for two people.

Anyway, when I go to bed at night, I will go back to the bedroom, and during the day, I am basically active outside, and the space outside is big enough!

In the end, the seventh room was single, which was exclusive to Yu Le Lulin's family of three. Because you have to sleep two adults and put a baby cot, the space requirements are larger.

Of course, it was necessary to occupy the area of two rooms, but it was reduced by a circle, leaving some space outside for two stone mortars to remove rice husks and crushed coals. So when you calculate it, it's five or six square meters.

Others, in pairs, were assigned rooms.

Counting from the bow of the boat, Shen Juan and Guo Biyan lived in turn.

Li Zhi and Wei Huiyun are a pair.

Sun Liqing and Fei Fei are a pair.

Wu Yun and Liu Xi are a mother and daughter.

Su Wu and Kexin are a pair.

Tian Xiaxia and Tian Qiuqiu are a pair of sisters.

The last two pairs are connected to Yu Le's room.

In front of the sleeping cabin, there is a large shed with a kitchen, dining room, and lounge.

The reason why it is called a large shed is because there is no longer a separate wall. Only eight wooden pillars were erected, and a bark-covered roof was erected to protect it from the rain.

This is the largest space, including the bow deck, which has a total area of about 30 square meters, except for a part of the space occupied by the sail frame.

This area, although it seems a little cramped, is barely enough for a dozen people to move during the day.

On the stern of the ship, next to the tail of the cargo hold, there are two toilets for more than a dozen people to use daily.

During the day, there is usually nothing to do, and they will sail on the river, non-stop. Therefore, some daily problems that need to be solved must be solved on the ship.

I thought about it before, anyway, the ship is going against the current. It is discharged at the stern of the boat and rushed directly downstream, which is also very clean and hygienic.

After hanging up the sails, facing a river wind, the whole majestic giant, lined up with waves, slowly sailed towards the destination that Yu Le and others were looking forward to.

This trip will certainly not be easy.

However, this group of people has made sufficient preparations, and there are no difficulties that they can't overcome!
