After everyone rested, they took out their pots and pans, even if they were embarrassed, they couldn't forget to eat, and they still had to live.

Wu's mother and Helan set up the pots on their small place, Helan didn't pay attention to them last night, and now after a look, they found that everyone was bringing their belongings, and there was no shortage of pots and pans, obviously with long-term plans.

There is a water source in the downstream of the cave, which also greatly alleviates the difficulties of everyone's life later, and at this moment Helan followed Wu Qingzhu to carry water.

"Our family has brought food for a month, and I don't know if it's enough." Helan felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she opened her mouth first.

Helan didn't think about coming down just now, Wu's mother saw Wu Qingzhu staring at Helan several times, so she smiled knowingly, picked up the vegetables next to him and asked Helan to wash them and come back.

"Hmm." Wu Qingzhu had thought about the scene of how to say and do when the two of them were alone many times in his heart, but at this time, he was a little stunned and didn't know what to say, and the hand holding the bucket loosened and shook it again.

The road to the place where the cave goes down to get water is a bit steep, and it is not easy to walk, Wu Qingzhu wanted to stay with Helan for a while, so he walked away again.

At this moment, Helan stepped into the air, and her body was crooked, and Wu Qingzhu, who was distracted, did not react immediately.

Everyone also knew that a person would pull everything that could be grabbed next to him when gravity was unstable, but Helan didn't catch Wu Qingzhu, who was walking in front, and sat on the ground all of a sudden, just falling on a piece of snow.

Wu Qingzhu put down the things in his hand and hurriedly went to pull Helan, Helan was also a little angry at this moment, he was ignoring him when he talked to him just now, seeing Wu Qingzhu bending over to help himself, he reached out and pulled him down.

happened to sit next to Helan, Helan turned his head to look at Wu Qingzhu, who was always a little cold to himself before today, Wu Qingzhu also looked at the little person he had been thinking about day and night, and suddenly smiled, and the subtle strangeness disappeared in an instant.

Helan stood up with the big tree next to her, patted the dirty things on her body, and raised her eyes to secretly look at Wu Qingzhu who was standing next to her.

At this moment, Wu Qingzhu took out something from his arms and handed it over, still wrapped in a handkerchief: "Here's for you." ”

Helan was very puzzled and took it and opened the handkerchief, looked at it carefully, it was a hairpin, and said, "Hairpin? Didn't you give me one? ”

I still remember that the last time he gave himself a hairpin, he lost his temper for a while, and the two of them did not "reconcile" until they left.

"This is jade, I look good, so I want to buy it and give it to you, last time it was a wooden hairpin, I didn't like it very much when I saw you." Wu Qingzhu's eyes were a little wandering when he spoke, and he didn't dare to look at Helan. After leaving last time, I thought about it, and the idea at the time was quite naïve, and I don't know if she will like this this time.

"It's beautiful, I like it too, and I didn't like that last time." Helan thought about it and planned to explain it clearly, after all, this matter had made the two of them awkward for a long time, and they would live under the same roof in the future, so there would be no estrangement.

"Then why didn't you bring it at the time?" Although it has been so long since the incident has passed, and he has comforted himself, Wu Qingzhu still wants to ask what the reason is.

Since Wu Qingzhu asked about the last time again, Helan felt the need to solemnly explain her behavior: "I put it up because I like it, and the things that are important to me will be collected well." ”

This sentence also instantly made Wu Qingzhu happy, it turned out that he didn't bring the things he sent because he thought they were important. A wooden hairpin is so cherished, does that mean that it is more important to yourself? Wu Qingzhu, who was a little fluttering, forcibly held back the smile on his lips.

"You are not allowed to put it up this time, remember to bring it, I will buy you more hand accessories in the future, you can't put it away all the time."

Wu Qingzhu has a little habit, he likes to look good at hand jewelry, he likes to look at these when he is very young, and when he is older, he secretly swears that when he is older, he must buy a lot of hand accessories, and then give them to his mother and mother.

"Now? But in this case, I'd better not bring it. Helan looked at this hosta and knew that it was not cheap, and now in this situation, I don't know how to sleep at night, and it is easy to lose it if I am busy with the hairpin.

"It's true, then you take it first, and then bring it when you get home."

"Hmm."

The two young people thought in their hearts that their little Jiujiu had not forgotten that they were going to be busy, washing vegetables when they should wash vegetables, and fetching water when they should fetch water.

In the past, life could still catch two meals a day, but now it has become one meal a day, a group of people have nothing to do, they can only rely on each other in a daze and say a word from time to time, and the family only has room to stretch their legs together.

It's winter in the mountains, and no one dares to go out and wander around, you must know that the animals on the mountain are hungry and red-eyed at this time, and who can survive if they meet any big guys?

In the afternoon, the village chief organized everyone to make traps around, surrounded a circle of sharpened wood, and sprinkled a circle of grass and wood ashes around, and regularly organized the villagers to pick up wood around the surroundings, in addition to leaving them from house to house, but also to pick up enough to be used by the people on duty at night.

The young and strong laborers of the village were organized together, divided into small groups, and then patrolled in turns, and had to be watched day and night.

Usually, there is no contradiction in the relationship that is not good, no matter what the village chief says, he strictly abides by it.

There were two people in the Wu family, and Wu Qingzhu and Wu's father were arranged to be on duty the night after tomorrow, of course, not only the two of them, but also others. In groups of six, they are on duty separately during the day and at night.

Helan looked at the fire outside the cave building, and wanted to come over and bake the fire together, but now there was a group of men there, and it was inconvenient for the women to go over.

Mother Wu put away the pot at home first, cleaned the ground, then took out a bundle of wheat stalks and spread it on the ground, and took out the broken quilt at home and spread it on the ground.

A total of four quilts and two broken quilts were brought at home, and in order to survive the next days, a group of people could only squeeze to sleep.

Mother Wu first looked at the people at home, and was also a little worried, seven people, where is the four pairs of quilts enough, in order to keep warm, the two pairs of quilts have to be overlapped, otherwise they will definitely get sick if they sleep on the ground for a day.

"Mother, it just so happens that I still have a pair of quilts here, so I can sleep alone at night." Wu Qingzhu said that he had been carrying the luggage since he came back, and when he left, he brought a quilt with him, and he naturally had to bring it back when he came back.

"Yes, then you roll two more laps, the bag is tight." Mother Wu looked at it and knew that there was no good way but to wronged her son.

The evening arrangement is: Grandpa Wu, Father Wu, Wu Qingquan, Mother Wu, Qingmei and Helan, and then Wu Qingzhu.

Wu's mother's explanation is that there must be a man sleeping in the outer circle to avoid any accidents.

As for Qingmei, men and women do not sit at the same table, not to mention that they have just divorced, so they need to avoid suspicion at this time.

Helan said that she and Wu Qingzhu did not have a wedding, and Wu's mother's explanation was that the two of them would be two sooner or later, and no one would care about this situation now.

When Helan slept at night, she always faced Qingmei sideways, and she didn't dare to move more at all, but it wasn't entirely because of Wu Qingzhu.

Three people cover two pairs of quilts together, how much is always a little worse, and some of the two sides can be covered with each other, if one person turns over, the cold wind will get through the gap in the quilt, and the three of them can't sleep well.

The worst is the middle one, and although it is better to cover two pairs of quilts than to have horns on both sides, the quilts are not on the left and right, and they belong to the vacuum zone.

The night was spent in half sleep, and the next day was slightly cool, there were some small movements, and from time to time there were ignorant children talking loudly and chatting.

Most of the people woke up, but none of them crawled out of the bed.

There were small snowflakes outside, and the wind was whirring in, and then exited, circling back and forth.

The people guarding the entrance of the cave were also replaced, and the hot water burning on the fire was half drunk by the people guarding the entrance of the cave, Helan heard the sound of them drinking water, and couldn't hide the envious eyes, so cold that he stuffed his hand into his clothes and unconsciously pasted it on Qingmei's body.

Fortunately, the village chief asked people to add a lot of water to the pot, and after the water boiled, each family was given a scoop of hot ginger water, so they had a little courage to crawl out of the bed.

Normally, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and at this time in the past, the door-to-door activity has long been bustling, visiting, chatting, gossiping, everyone is happy, and then waiting for their girl to return from her mother-in-law's house.

And at the moment, most of the people who have nothing to do are napping in their own places, and they are all saving energy, less effort, less talking, and more food.

In case something happens to the mountain, the things in their hands are the food they will eat for the next half year, although it is a bit exaggerated, but things always have to be considered on the bad side.

At noon, Wu's mother took out the meat residue from her practice lard a few days ago and put it in front of her eldest son.

"Hurry up and eat. This is what we left for you. When Wu's mother was cleaning up the house, she saw this plate of meat residue, and subconsciously brought it.

The eldest son has been out for so long, and when he comes back, he has lost weight and his beard is sloppy, and everyone else is grateful for the news brought by her son, but her heart has not stopped.

If her son met those people at that time, was caught and taken away, would she still be able to see her son in her life?

Wu Qingzhu was very moved when he looked at the half pot of oil residue, picked up the rice bowl and put it in the middle: "Let's eat together." ”

"We've all eaten it before, and this is for you."

"My life outside is good, and I don't eat less meat, so let's eat together."

Wu Qingzhu picked up the chopsticks and handed them over one by one, but Wu Qingquan didn't answer them, he used his hand directly, and devoured several bites at the moment.
