After Song Poria entered the house, she first laid out the straw mats.

After laying the mattress, Qian Peiying stopped her daughter and said:

"If you have a mat to cushion, just sleep on it, and save some quilts for your father. Just these two kang beds can be hot, and they can squeeze out these children and our mothers. Your grandmother is a few years old and sleeps on another kang. That's it, I guess we all have to squeeze until we can't turn over. Your father and they have to sleep on the plank tonight and take a nap, and they will have to choke on the cold. ”

Song Fuling thought about it, collected Mi Shou, her mother, and her milk, anyway, she could collect a few water bladders, stood at the door of the thatched house and didn't look at her father, and shouted Song Lizheng:

"Grandpa, these water bladders are for you to put in the cart here, and when you go to bed, pour hot water into your arms, don't forget."

"You know, fat girl, let's get some sleep."

"You go to bed early, you're old, you can't go to the kang and squeeze."

"Don't go to the kang, go to the house quickly."

Song Fuling's thatched house was closed.

The adults in this house, only her and her mother, with a kang child.

Qian Peiying used a broken grass mat to fan the door, the door panel leaked everywhere, and the closure was not tight, so it could only be barely covered.

On the kang, Song Fuling carefully avoided the children, there was no light in the room, the torches had long since stopped, and she touched the window on tiptoe.

Windows are no longer windows, they are window frames, the kind without window paper.

Before, Song Poria fanned her moisture-proof mat on it, used a wooden stick as a nail, used a wooden stick to penetrate the four corners of her moisture-proof mat, and smashed it into the mud wall with stones.

Now a cold wind is blowing, and her moisture-proof mat is a little twisted and leaking, as if the wooden stick has not been smashed and tamped, and she has to deal with it before going to bed.

Qian Peiying also filled some branches into the stove pit before going to the kang.

The two of them were busy working, Song Fusheng pushed open the door curtain and came in, and the door that was finally covered began to pour cold air into it again.

"What's the matter, you don't work with them anymore, medicine sleeps?"

"What do you sleep, I haven't slept this night, I'll come in and bring you quilts."

"Huh? Will that work? Don't let anyone find out. ”

Song Fusheng entered the house and replied to Qian Peiying like a thief: "What's wrong, aren't the babies all sleeping?" No one will enter this house for a while, so I'll get up early tomorrow and pull the poria and let the poria be stuffed back in. I didn't worry, and asked the baby on the kang again: "Tell the third uncle, have you all slept?" ”

Song Fuling lifted the moisture-proof mat and looked out, using the light of the fire outside to observe whether there was anyone, so as not to let people hear, and laughed while giving her father the wind.

It's strange that the babies on the kang can answer, one by one they are too sleepy to do anything.

Song Fusheng entered the space and turned his family's various quilts.

The silk quilt was taken out of four.

Qian Peiying took the two carefully covered on the babies, she and her daughter slept on the kang, the kang was not hot at all, and one person had to have one.

"Do you want to?"

"It's enough, it's enough, but you can flip it upside down, it's all going to get lice."

"What time is it now, and there are lice or not, it seems that your mother and daughter are still not frozen, unlike me," Before he finished complaining, Song Fusheng entered the space again. He turned over cotton pants and autumn pants for himself, and the down vest was also put on a torn cotton jacket, two pairs of socks on his feet, and he looked for cotton insoles to stuff his shoes, and took out two warm baby stickers.

At this moment, I am still full of gratitude for space.

His daughter had two stickers left, and she used it when it was cold when she was in a hurry, but now that it's done, the space has changed back. You can only use two stickers at a time, and the number is less.

"Do you two stick it? If you don't stick it, I can stick it, I can't sleep this night, don't freeze me. Song Fusheng dipped the back of his stomach and waist, and only after finishing the work did he instruct: "Sleep at ease, I will come back before dawn, I won't let people see the futon, let's go." ”

"Huh? What are you up to? ”

"What are you busy doing, beating wood and making adobe."

……

Most of the women and children had already slept, but the men had to work all night, working hard, including the old men.

The kang collapsed, they had to build the kang, and if they didn't finish the work quickly, they would have no place to sleep.

That's it, tomorrow there will be some strong laborers going up the mountain to cut wood, and some wooden planks must be cut down first, because even the wooden planks will not make enough beds for everyone to sleep.

As for the kang, you have to make the kind of adobe that looks like bricks by yourself, and it takes at least two or three days for the adobe to dry, and then you can build the kang after drying. After the adobe is built, the top must be covered with a layer of mud, and it is not possible to go up and sleep directly after the build.

Song Fusheng's second brother knows some carpenter's skills, and while beating the wood recipe, he said worriedly:

"Third brother, in this weather right now, the soil on the ground is frozen, and our house is designated not to be built, at most it is to repair it. Can? There is a problem here, whether you are building a house or building adobe for kang, in this kind of weather, the adobe will not dry after it is made and placed outside, and if it is not dried, the adobe will not be strong. Don't let our front feet collapse again. ”

Song Fusheng had already thought of it, and said while digging the soil: "Second brother, don't worry, you beat your square, the thickness is 2 inches, the length is one meter three, and the width is one meter, you had better get the board right." This recipe will have to be used if it is okay in the future. If it is feasible, we will make adobe in the winter, and we will have to build a wall, otherwise it will not be safe. Buying bricks is specified as being unaffordable. ”

You know, the pine nuts haven't been sold yet, and so are the matsutake mushrooms. Even if it is all sold, plus the money of the previous group, it is all counted, and you have to buy food.

There are more than 200 of them, and they plan to get one pound of grain a day, and they will get more than 6,000 pounds of grain in a month. What's more, there are oil, salt, kerosene lamps, window oil paper, and winter vegetables, so you have to take advantage of the fact that there are still people selling radish and cabbage cheaply in this month, and buy a few carts.

Therefore, he had to take some people to Nursery Rhyme Town at dawn, one was to sell pine nuts as soon as possible, and the precious mushrooms were also sold as much as possible, and the other was to inquire about the price of food. At the very least, you have to buy a month's worth of food rations before you can know the bottom of your heart.

That's why he's on fire, and a pen is always rolling around in his heart.

"Third brother?"

Song Fusheng walked down, and found that everyone was looking at him, so he remembered that he didn't answer about the adobe:

"If you don't put it outside, can a living person suffocate urine? We'll have to be flexible. Later, all this soil will be transported to those empty houses, and soaked in hot water and mud, and the hot water will not soak the frozen lumps on the top layer of the soil? By the way, Uncle Gao, how did the straw go? ”

The high butcher and a few of their men replied loudly, and they were almost smashed.

"Find an empty room and fall to the ground. After a while, mix it with the mud, lay some broken grass, and the adobe bricks will be strong. After finishing with the second brother's wooden square mold, frame out a piece of blank and put it aside, wait for tomorrow dawn, the babies and the old lady are awake, the two hot kang can be poured out for us, put these adobes on the kang piece by piece, change the noodles back and forth, dry with the hot kang, or do you have to get the sun? I don't believe it, as long as it can build a kang. ”

Baskets of dirt were moved into these empty houses.

Mrs. Ma's house has no door, and the door is estimated to have been removed when she moved. Therefore, it is convenient for everyone to go to the house to get hot water and boil water.

Buckets and buckets of hot water were poured into the earth, and mud.

The adobe blocks are framed in molds made of wooden frames, and the blocks are divided into blocks of equal size and much larger than bricks.

Brick after brick of adobe lay out in the house.

The men didn't sleep all night, drank water and worked until dawn outside.

Looking up at the adobe bricks that I had accumulated, I didn't notice it if I didn't pay attention, and it was hard to look at it closely. How did you make so many blocks? There is more than a dozen kangs to build and there is a lot left.

I don't think I've done so much work.

One by one, they are really capable.

Song Li was sitting on the broken mat at this time to take a breath, and after drinking a sip of hot water, he suddenly said:

"They gave us this place, actually, it seems to be in the middle of thinking. If only a high wall could be built, it would be better if the wolf did not come down the mountain to bite people. At least there are a lot of houses, and we can pick up two or three broken grass houses in the spring next year. ”

At the same time, Song Fusheng had already gone to the house of his wife and daughter.

Song Fusheng woke up his wife and daughter, and asked Song Fuling to send four quilts in. Let his wife go in and warm him up and get him and his daughter some food.

Qian Peiying was surprised: "I won't go to town with you?" ”

"No, I'll take our daughter there, and you leave this town. I'm afraid that someone from the village who has a good letter will come and talk to me. Our group of people is too real, and Grandpa is easy to make people fool and have no heart, you have to guard some, I will leave Sizhuang to you. ”
