Chapter 195: Anyway
Chirping, Xiaoxi opened her eyes and listened carefully, it turned out that the mother-in-law and grandmother next to her woke up and were talking in a whisper.
After a while, everyone got up one after another, and the creek rested for a while before it got up.
"You know the aftershocks came last night, right?"
"Eh, I don't know, the aftershocks last night were weird. ”
"I was woken up by the aftershocks. ”
"Me too, scared me a lot, but fortunately I didn't sleep in the house, right?"
"Oh, I'm glad I didn't sleep in the house last night. ”
Is it, how could she not know? Xiaoxi bit her chopsticks and thought puzzledly, listening to them, the aftershocks were quite big last night, and she didn't even know at all, how dead she was sleeping?
After breakfast, everyone began to choose a place and prepare to build a shack. Because of the aftershocks last night, everyone really didn't dare to sleep in the house, after all, their houses were decades old.
Zhao Yunhe, that is, Xiaoxi's second master, they chose their own vegetable garden, which is the place where they slept last night. Xiaoxi's grandmother is alone after all, and she chooses to be next to them.
There was a small platform next to the stone on the side of the road outside the yard, but it was enough to build two shacks.
After choosing a place, a few people started to do it. They couldn't help Xiaoxi, and Old Man Chen didn't let them help, so he drove them away.
A few people didn't know what to do, so they walked around.
Xiaoxi saw that everyone's house didn't suffer much damage, but it was more or less a little. In my father's house, the earthen wall outside the stove room had a big crack from the eaves to the half-center.
The other people's houses also had some cracks, large and small, and the tiles on the houses also fell off a lot.
Xiaoxi's house is the oldest, and it was handed down from the parents of Grandma Chen. Looking up at the mottled tiles overhead, I don't know if it leaks when it rains.
Everyone was fast, and it was done in an hour. In fact, the time is mainly used to weed, and there is nothing to build, just around the pear tree, cut the bamboo, roughly build a shelf, and then put the bamboo mat on the top, put the bed below, it's good.
Two shacks were built on the platform, and one was built in a slightly lower place.
Luo Guowen said after breakfast that he wanted to take Wang Aihua home, but Old Man Chen didn't agree, it's not safe now, everyone can take care of each other, and besides, Wang Aihua didn't farm land, they went back, what did they eat?
Chen's father also kept it, so they stayed.
Of the three shacks, Zhao Yunqing occupies one, which is a little small, and two wooden beds have been placed next to each other. The other two shacks are a little larger, with two sofa beds in each shack and a narrow alleyway.
This sofa bed, not long after the beginning of this year, someone came to the house with tools to make it, Zhao Yunqing called Mr. Chen and asked them if they were doing it? Mr. Chen deliberately took a time out and came back. They made two of them themselves and made two for Chen's father.
The wooden bed was so heavy that they simply moved the sofa bed out and used it.
It was true that they couldn't put down the extra bed, so Luo Guowen and Wang Aihua had to squeeze into a bed.
At this time, there is no work in the field, and there is no electricity, so everyone stays in the shed after eating.
After yesterday's earthquake, several aunts called Chen's mother one after another and reported to each other that they were safe, and Chen's mother told them that they would go to Tazishan to stay in the evening.
It's just that I went home again and forgot to talk about it for a while. I called at noon and knew that they were back, so I said I wanted to come back.
First of all, Chen Ergu came up, because she lived in a production team, which was close.
carried a load of green beans and cowpeas, and hugged two roosters.
"Dad, I don't think you have a garden, so I will carry some vegetables for you, and if you finish eating, you will come down and pick them yourself. ”
"Well, yes, yes. Old Man Chen smiled from ear to ear, with a look of relief.
After a while, Aunt Chen and Aunt Chen also came back, after all, there was a car, and it was fast.
Everyone picked the vegetables from the garden and took the rice and meat.
"Hey~ You take so much, why don't we finish eating, don't you eat yourself?" Granny Chen looked at the bags of vegetables on the ground and pretended to complain.
"Oh, Mom, these two days are the time to tie the knot, and you can pick it again in two days. Eat quickly, and when you have eaten I will pluck it for you. ”
"No, we don't know how long we'll be in the house, I guess we'll be down the street again in two days, and they'll still have to study in Xiaoxi. Old Man Chen shook his head, estimating that they would not be able to stay at home for two days.
In the evening, the two chickens were killed, stewed in a large pot, and several aunts ate before going back.
The next day, the village cadres came to count the damage to the house, but the electricity in the village still did not come.
"It's going to come today. ”
"It's coming, it's been two or three days. ”
"If you don't come here, you can't charge your phone. ”
"Yes, my mobile phone is almost out of battery, and I don't dare to call anymore, for fear that the babies will call back and find no one. ”
After eating, everyone was fine, so they sat in the courtyard and chatted.
"Well, I'm going to go around the field today, and in two days the wheat will be cut. ”
"Yes, this rape seed (rape) is also yellow. ”
"I'm not afraid of this cabbage, it's this wheat, cut back, if you don't call, what if you don't call?"
"Oh, don't worry, electricity is coming. ”
"I'm coming, but I don't know how long I've been here?"
The electricity, which had been remembered by everyone for several days, finally came on the evening of the fourth day after the earthquake, so everyone rushed to tell each other and was excited.
Everyone hurriedly took out their low-powered mobile phones and charged them. As for Chen Yubin, they ......
Because the street on their side was facing the sun, it was directly exposed to the sun early in the morning, so the guy who cooked the rice moved to the fathers' side.
At this moment, the electricity came, and the siblings excitedly ran back to the house, lifted out the desk used in Xiaoxi Elementary School, and put it in the courtyard.
"Master, hurry up, it's ...... here," Chen Yubin patted his desk and shouted excitedly at Old Man Chen.
I put the color TV on the desk, and I was busy plugging in all kinds of wires, and it took a while to get it ready.
Looking at the images displayed on the TV, the sister and brother were excited for a long time, and quickly moved a stool to sit obediently in front of the TV.
I haven't watched TV for a few days, it's really uncomfortable, even if it's news at this time, the sister and brother are watching it with relish, and they don't want to move their butts.
"Now, here you go. A board was installed in the middle of the street, and Chen's mother took out a small watermelon, cut it in half, inserted a spoon and handed it to the sister and brother in front of the TV.
Cut half of the watermelon in half and put it on the table for everyone to eat.
