Since the third brother said at the beginning of this year that there might be a catastrophe this year, they have begun to actively prepare for the disaster. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But in order not to cause panic among everyone, except for a few high-level officials in the household office, everyone else did not know about it at all.
Since the beginning of the year, they have taken a lot of initiatives, such as clearing wasteland, farming, and storing grain.
This year, every family has increased the breeding of rabbits, and the rabbit meat has been made into rabbit jerky, and the fur has not been sold by everyone, and they have kept their own clothes.
On the basis of last year, the sheep raised in the household house bought a lot more this year, and a lot of wool was collected, and the ladies of the women's association turned the wool into wool socks and distributed them to the regular army and the rest of the army.
Everyone is asked to stock up on firewood, wild vegetables, dried nuts, etc., which are essential materials if the snow disaster comes.
In addition, after the autumn harvest, he encouraged everyone to hurry up and plant cabbage and radish in the vacated field, hoping to harvest another crop of vegetables and vegetables.
While Shen Xingxi was silently counting the measures they had already completed, Li Yunbao thought for a moment before speaking.
"I think, should we find time to pick up the fish in the pond of the house, dig up the lotus root while the weather is still cold, and kill those sheep when the weather is cooler, otherwise where will we have excess forage to feed them if it is cold?" We must use that forage to feed the cattle and horses, which are more important animals. As for the mutton, each family gave some to everyone to store the meat for the winter, and the wool could be disposed of by the ladies of the women's association, and wool socks were made to distribute to the old and weak women and children in the household to resist the cold. ā
Several people nodded in agreement when they heard this, and Ge Giant opened his mouth to express his opinion: "There is also our stable to be reinforced, in case the wind and snow are too big and frostbite the war horse, it will not be possible."
"Not only the stables, but also the cattle sheds must be reinforced, and the cattle and horses are important materials for the household, and they cannot be damaged." Zhang Datie also added.
Shen Xingxi put down the teacup in his hand, "Our household should also be checked, don't let people suffer when the time comes!"
Shen Xingnan listened to everyone express their opinions, he took a sip of tea, groped his fingers back and forth a few times, and stared at his little wife to speak.
"Bao, I still have to bother you to take a few people who burned tiles last year into the mountain to help burn a new batch of tiles, if there is an accident at that time, we will have a preparation."
Hearing him say this, Li Yunbao looked at him, but he didn't say anything more, just nodded and agreed. Li Yunbao thought that in modern times, there are still houses that have been crushed by heavy snow, and it is necessary to prepare more tiles for emergencies.
After a few people agreed on everything one by one, Shen Xingxi, who was a military Cao, raised a headache.
"Third brother, should we report it to the top? If there is no snow disaster, it is fine, if there is, then let's report it and let the upper authorities prepare early, how many people can be saved!"
"Jun Cao, have you thought about it, we have no evidence now, if you report it, can the people above believe our head of a hundred households? Those people up there are not these people in our household, and they are not so easy to talk to. "Zhang Datie couldn't bear to hit their kind-hearted military Cao.
"That is, if our hundred household chiefs report it, what if the snow disaster doesn't come by then? If the above said that our 100 household chiefs lied about the military situation, what should we do if we 100 household chiefs want to punish the crime?" The rectum of Ge Giant couldn't help but speak.
"But...... But ......" Shen Xingxi was a little told by the two of them, and he didn't know how to continue to open his mouth.
The education he received since he was a child made him determined not to be alone, and he knew that there might be a disaster, how could he watch so many people face disasters in ignorance? Let them lose their lives in vain?
But listening to Zhang Datie and Ge Giant say this, he felt that it was very reasonable, if his younger brother reported it, if there was no snow disaster, then his younger brother's fate would be self-evident. So he didn't know what to say at all.
"Okay, I'll give it a try, no matter what, I can't watch so many people suffer, no matter what the above will do, I just want to have a clear conscience." In the end, Shen Xingnan stopped several people from arguing and made the final decision himself.
After sending a few people away, the family finally quieted down, and in the evening, Li Yunbao and Xing'er cleaned up a table of good food, which was to catch the wind and wash the dust.
After dinner, Li Yunbao also took out the gifts specially prepared for Xing'er and Xiaohai, and after giving them all the things, he sent them back to rest.
After washing up at night, Li Yunbao put the little bun to sleep before he went to sleep on the kang, after several days of tiring travel, Shen Xingnan was tired and fell asleep at this time, but Li Yunbao lying on the kang couldn't fall asleep over and over.
She was still thinking about the things in the daytime, thinking that Shen Xingnan actually promised to report the snow disaster. She was a little worried, after all, there were many things in this life that had changed because of his reborn butterfly wings.
On the way to exile, the deaths of Sister Zhu'er, Aunt Qian, and Brother Jie were accidents, and the night attack on Shuanglong Pass last time was also an accident, and the deaths of Aunt Cao and Jia Furong are also accidents.
Then she can't guarantee that this disaster will also change!
If Shen Xingnan reported this time, but what if the snow disaster did not come?
She was lying on the kang at this time, worried, no matter how she tossed and turned, she couldn't sleep, but woke up Shen Xingnan beside her.
"Why hasn't Bao slept yet?" Shen Xingnan asked himself with a little hoarse in his tone.
"Well, I went to sleep."
Li Yunbao replied, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Anan, do you really want to report this snow disaster?" What if something happens and the snow disaster doesn't come? What if the people above don't believe you and embarrass you? If only ......"
"Fool, don't think about it, go to sleep! These are all trivial matters, and they will be solved by your husband and me. Don't worry, I'm measured, you have to learn to believe me, good!"
Shen Xingnan took Li Yunbao into his arms, propped his head over and kissed Li Yunbao, and then comforted him in a low and lazy voice.
Seeing that he was indeed confident, Li Yunbao also calmed down, and gradually fell asleep in the crook of Shen Xingnan's arm.
Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Xingnan took Hou Hai to the camp as usual, and Xing'er took An Ge'er to lead Da Hum Erha Mountain up, and they followed most of the family members in the household to go into the mountain to collect firewood and prepare for the winter.
Li Yunbao finished all the housework at home, so he found two large vats, wiped the meat bought in Tongshun with salt one by one, and then put it neatly in the big vat to marinate it, and then took it out and smoked it after two days.
After doing all this, she was busy preparing for lunch, and was ready to go up the mountain with Xing'er to row firewood and grass after lunch.
Now the pine forest must be covered with a thick layer of dried pine needles, which is a good starting material, and Li Yunbao is ready to go into the mountains to get more and store them at home.
She had to hurry up and go home with Xing'er to paddle more dry firewood, not only because this year's winter was difficult, but also because she had to complete the task assigned to her by Shen Xingnan - burning tiles.
