Chapter 243: Holding on hard
When the Niu family was celebrating here, the Wu family's wall repair was basically completed.
The walls of their Wu family are really built high and thick. It's like a small bunker. The highest part of the wall is almost 5 meters high. The shortest place, that is also four meters five.
Moreover, the gates of their courtyard walls were replaced with iron gates.
This iron gate is actually not big. It is only one meter five high, and half a meter wide.
If they have a large family, if they close this iron gate, they will not let anyone in or out. Well, ordinary people can't break in.
After the wall was repaired, the hearts of all the people in the Wu family were finally put down.
The wild animals in the deep mountains and old forests are still particularly ferocious. Especially in the winter when there is a lack of food to eat.
When Wu Guifang was in high school before, she studied Lu Xun's article. It's called a blessing.
The sister-in-law of Xianglin here, after she got married, actually had a son named Ah Mao.
That little Ah Mao was four or five years old, and it was in the winter that he sat on the threshold of the house and helped Xianglin's sister-in-law peel beans. Xianglin's sister-in-law cooks by the stove.
Just a few steps away, Xiao Ah Mao was taken away by the wolf. The internal organs of the stomach were eaten empty by wolves.
When Wu Guifang read that article before, when she saw this paragraph, she deeply felt that life in the deep mountains and old forests was really dangerous.
Adults are susceptible to being bitten to death by wild animals. Not to mention the small children in the house.
"Boss, after this wall was repaired, I felt a sense of solidity."
"You don't know, when I went to bed at night some time ago, I always had some weird dreams. I dreamed that in the winter, hungry wild animals, such as bears and wolves, broke into our house. ”
“……”
Seeing Wu Guifang's frightened look, Wu Hongsheng couldn't hold back, so he said her embarrassment.
"I know that."
"Because these days, every time you sleep, you like to dance with your hands. Sometimes, your feet are still kicking hard there. You're still screaming there. I don't know what you're calling. ”
Hearing him say this, Wu Guifang was very embarrassed at that time.
Is this really fake?
Is this what she does when she sleeps?
How did she not know?
Wu Guifang used to think that when she slept, it was quite quiet.
She really didn't expect that she would behave like that when she was sleeping.
Could it be that the psychological pressure has been so great in recent times that she has begun to "sleepwalk"?
Although she couldn't figure it out in her heart, Wu Guifang didn't show it.
She thought about it for a while, and then said, "I'm afraid I'm too scared for a while, and I'm always worried that the people in my family will be eaten by wild animals in the winter." ”
After Wu Hongsheng drank a cup of hot tea, he whispered, "It's okay." Don't think about it. ”
"In the winter, we basically don't go out. Hide at home every day, just cat winter. ”
"And next year's New Year, I don't plan to visit the door and give New Year's greetings to others."
Wu Guifang listened and couldn't help but say.
"What year is it this year?"
"Boss, I told you before that there will be a locust plague in our place next spring. And there will be other disasters as well. ”
"This casual going out is easy to be exposed to danger......"
After Wu Hongsheng heard such words again, he nodded again.
"I've been remembering all these things in my mind for a long time."
"Don't worry, I have arrangements for these things."
……
The winter months are actually the hardest.
Especially in such a place, the south is not the south, and the north is not the north.
There is no heating or air conditioning here, and the humidity of the air is relatively high.
Everyone who stayed in the house could actually feel that the cold wind blowing from the northwest was blowing vigorously there.
The houses where they lived were also shivering from time to time under the cold wind.
Thankfully, the walls they built were closer to the houses they actually lived in. The fence is relatively high and thick, which just plays the role of blocking the wind.
Therefore, under the fierce cold wind all night, the house where they lived could stand safely.
Their Wu family's life in winter can barely get by.
But for the Duan family, this winter is the saddest year.
When they built the wall, they didn't really put that much thought into it.
The walls they built were not high.
Some people cut corners when they do their work. Under the blowing of the cold northwest wind, the walls were cracked.
The wall is not strong, Duan Wenyan sees it in his eyes and is anxious in his heart.
When it snowed heavily, he called the people in his family to shovel all the snow off the walls. The snow outside the wall was also shoveled.
In addition, he asked the men, women and children of his family to continue firing the adobe bricks they had previously made.
Duan Wenyan can also understand that while the snow is not heavy enough, and the river is not completely frozen, they must take action.
Go ahead and fix the house.
The men of the Duan family are busy every day, complaining every day.
As soon as they stopped, Duan Wenyan would scold them hoarsely.
Under Duan Wenyan's several urgings, the men, women and children of the Duan family also started the mode of being busy day and night, working three shifts a day.
When they are busy, they have to eat a lot. It is a food that requires high energy.
Moreover, under the blowing of the cold wind, they also need to pay attention to keeping warm.
So, Duan Wenyan had no choice but to build a few more earthen stoves in the courtyard.
These earthen stoves are used to burn adobe bricks and cooking.
After the Duan family was busy for more than half a month, the matter of the house wall was temporarily resolved.
Duan Wenyan actually wanted them to continue. However, the food that was supposed to last until the spring of the next year was completely eaten by them at this time.
There was no food at home, and everyone in the Duan family panicked.
As a result, the men of the Duan family began to fish and catch shrimp by the river in groups. Go and get everything you can eat in your mouth.
All the people in the Duan family basically wear straw sandals in the cold winter season.
And some of the women in the family, they don't even have a pair of straw sandals.
Every day, they were barefoot, stepping on the cold ground.
Life is really hard.
The faces of all the people in the Duan family were covered with wind and frost.
"Dad~, when will such a day be a head?"
Duan Wenyan heard his eldest son, early in the morning, sigh at him again, he couldn't help but snort coldly.
"How do I know?"
"Hold on! It's a day that we can survive a day......"
