There are many people in the family. The amount of food consumed each day is also quite huge.

Even if there are a lot of wild vegetables stewed in the meals every day, Wu Guifang still feels that these things can't bear to eat at all.

After giving every man in the family a big bowl of paste, Wu Guifang asked the old and young people in the family to come over and get half a bowl of paste.

As for the adult women in the family, Wu Guifang tried her best to keep them full.

After all the men had finished eating, they began to build the wall in full swing.

They were busy at home, and the men of the Niu family and the Duan family were also worried at this time.

Some people want to save trouble.

Felt like they shouldn't build the wall.

They should hurry up and go outside to find out if there is anything else to eat.

In the past few days, they have caught fish by the river.

Moreover, there are quite a few fish caught.

There are about four or five of them.

After they stewed the fish, everyone drank a bowl of delicious fish soup.

Some of the men of the Duan family felt that they should go into battle with the whole family and catch a few more fish in the river while the back was still not freezing.

However, Duan Wenyan has his own ideas.

He saw with his own eyes that after Wu Hongsheng took other men here to check on it, he knotted the wrinkles on his forehead, and he faintly felt that this matter was not simple.

The old hunters in the forest are worried about the attack of wild animals in winter, so they are not as strong as them. No matter what, they have to build a wall for themselves.

"Yude, from today onwards, you will take the men in the family to burn adobe bricks and build the wall in a hurry."

"When we burn the adobe bricks, we can also bake the fire. Cook a meal or something. ”

They don't really have the skill to burn bricks at all. However, Duan Wenyan, as the patriarch of the whole family, has already made such a decision, so they must comply with it no matter what.

The Duan family has always believed in an old saying. It's called not listening to the old man, and suffering in front of you.

The men, women and children of the Duan family all took action. The cattle family, who were staring at them all day long, also took action at this time.

Niu Sanduo on the Niu family's side has also taught himself a little bit of ability.

But all the adobe bricks that passed through his hands were basically relatively strong and durable.

"Dad, the mud we use to burn the bricks must be stirred and mixed vigorously. To make the soil sticky, then we need to put some dried branches in it, and the charcoal will kill the ashes so that it can be perfectly formed. ”

Although Niu Sanduo was arrogant in his previous life. I often look down on this, I look down on that.

But the hard life of this life has made him understand that everything is hard-won.

Take the red bricks that modern people are accustomed to, for example.

Red bricks are rare good things for people in ancient society.

In ancient times, there were no red bricks.

None of them knew how to make red bricks.

Like that, the big families can live in all the blue brick and tile houses.

A few green and large tiled houses will almost cost a few hundred taels of silver!

You must know that in this era, productivity is very backward.

Especially the farmers at the bottom of the society, it is not easy for them to make money.

The vast majority of them, at the end of the year, can only earn one or two taels of silver. barely enough to make ends meet.

If the head of the family has too many children, they will not be able to support them at all.

Niu Sanduo is because he has experienced too much hardship, and when he burns bricks, he is very attentive and real.

Seeing that he was very serious, Niu Caigao had a little appreciation for his little son.

"Okay, we'll all listen to you."

After saying this, Niu Caigao turned his head and said it to all the Niu family members seriously.

"Did you hear what Sanduo said just now?"

"When you mix the mud again, you must mix it vigorously to make it sticky, so that the adobe we burn will last a long time. When you work, you must be attentive. Because of this wall we have made, this house we have built, it is very likely that we will live in it for generations to come. A ...... that has lived in it for hundreds of years."

Niu Sanduo, who was working the side, unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this. He felt that what his father said was really exaggerated.

Even if it is a house made of red bricks, it may not exist after facing a hundred years of wind and rain and going through all kinds of wind and frost.

Niu Sanduo knew before that the red brick house should not last for hundreds of years.

However, after hearing what Niu Caigao said, the Niu family did pay more attention to it when they were mixing the mud.

Everyone is selfish and self-interested. When something involves their own vital interests, they will behave more attentively.

The house is for yourself.

The fence is also used to protect oneself.

Since they all spend time, energy, and doing things, why can't they be more attentive in the process of doing things?

The more than 70 members of the Niu family have been busy from morning to night, from night to morning.

They work day and night, in three shifts.

Niu Caigao is more than 60 years old. But as the patriarch, he has always been the leader.

He's busy every day.

Pick up mud and soil from the river, find sand by the river, stir and beat vigorously, and the yellow mud has become sticky.

Sometimes, he fishes by the river and asks the women in the family to cook for the whole family.

Once this person is busy, it is easy to lose track of time. Before they knew it, they had been doing it for more than half a month.

By the time the first heavy snow began to fall, they had already built all the walls around the three rooms.

The wall is not very high, about three meters high. More than 30 centimeters thick.

But in the eyes of all Niu families, this is a great achievement.

In addition, the fire wall and fire kang in the house have all been done. The walls of the house are basically made of adobe bricks.

The lives of all the people in the Niu family are on the right track.

They don't have to endure the cold wind outside anymore.

Tonight, although it was snowing heavily, it was snowing outside. But all the faces of the Niu family were written with happiness and little joy.

Tonight, Niu Caigao gave the whole family an extra meal.

There were more than 70 of them, and a total of five big fish were stewed.

By the time the flesh in the fish bones was completely boiled. It was completely melted into the fish soup, and Niu Caigao called the whole family to eat.

"Sanduo, you are our great hero. If it weren't for you this time, our wall and this house wouldn't have been repaired so well and ......so quickly."
