Chapter 227: Saving the Famine Year (16)

They walked for two days to get to the place.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the mountain, and the village on the side of the mountain.

In fact, there was no one in the village either.

It's all a meal point, and there is not even a cooking smoke in the village, and there are only three or two households that can see the cooking smoke.

It turned out that most of the village was empty, and when they walked into the village, they didn't even hear the dogs barking, the chickens and ducks crowing.

As they entered, the whole village was filled with smoke, and the fireworks disappeared immediately, proving that the people were very vigilant.

The ones with fireworks, the doors and windows are closed.

Their arrival seems to have made no waves.

They went around in circles.

There is no shadow of anyone.

They didn't show up, so they hid behind the door and watched them.

Mrs. Zhang understood that these people were frightened, leaving behind the families who did not flee the famine.

The family is old, weak, sick and disabled, and those who can walk will stay and wait for death.

But not leaving doesn't mean you'll survive.

To put it bluntly, it is not easy for people to survive in the village at this time, and the young and middle-aged are gone, leaving these families, even if they are not old, weak, sick and disabled, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape the scourge of the displaced people who come and go.

Their arrival was naturally unwelcome and guarded.

Mrs. Zhang didn't care about that, anyway, they also wanted to have a stable place, so they walked around the village, except for the few households whose doors were closed, the other houses were open, and it could be seen that not only the doors were open, but the windows and windows were already in tatters.

It must have been attacked by several waves of displaced people.

There must have been nothing in the house, but they searched the village for a better life.

On the one hand, Mrs. Zhang didn't want to be discovered by these people because she had food, and it was inconvenient to make something to eat, so they didn't plan to go to the center of the village.

In addition, when the famine years pass, after all, the people in these villages will come back, and if they occupy a good house, they will find it back at that time.

Do they move or not?

Pack up and move! They weren't happy.

If they don't move, there might be a dispute, so they looked for it.

I deliberately found a family in the outermost part of the village, at the foot of the mountain.

This family's house is about to fall.

Basically, it is uninhabitable, but there is a foundation left there.

Such a house, if anyone says that this is his home.

Mrs. Zhang can spray him all over the face.

They were living in another house for the time being, but they decided that the house was going to be renovated, and the sons were fine anyway.

The three sons and daughters-in-law were counted as six strong laborers, and their own food could keep up, and they had enough to eat and drink, and began to lay the foundation and build a new house.

Leaning against the mountain, he naturally cut wood down from the mountain.

Digging a lot of earth, digging mud, and moving stones down from the mountain, these six people did a lot of work.

But tired and tired, they know that they can eat in their stomachs, which is nothing compared to other people, everyone is dying of hunger, they can eat and drink enough.

What are they afraid of doing some work, they are not afraid of work, they are afraid of not having enough to eat.

They work hard, Mrs. Zhang naturally gives them a little better, this is not steamed every day Erhe noodles steamed buns, white flour steamed buns are not unaffordable, but I am afraid of raising these children's mouths, after all, living here, in the future, grow their own food, where can they afford to eat so much white noodles.

Cornmeal and white flour are mixed with steamed steamed buns, and cornmeal porridge or millet porridge is added.

She also has a lot of pickled vegetables in her ring, which is enough for them to eat, plus some modern fast food, such as canned meat, which can be regarded as a supplement to the meat.

Dun Dun can eat so well, and no one in his sons and daughters-in-law is tired of it.

According to their speed, the house was built quickly, although it was also a mud house, but the bottom of the house was made of stone, and the house was half made of stone, and the bottom was made of glutinous rice flour and various mixed materials.

Fill the cracks in the stone and make it firm, and this stone is comparable to cement stone.

Above the stone wall is the mud wall.

After getting on the girders, it was naturally thatched, after all, they couldn't get tiles here.

The children were not idle, all the thirteen or fourteen-year-old children went to the ground, and Mrs. Zhang took them to open up wasteland in the mountains behind them.

The old lady took a look at this place, next to it is a river by water, which will be convenient for watering in the future, plus the wasteland here is not as difficult as imagined.

To put it bluntly, this place is still affected by drought, and there is a lot less water, and looking at the river, which was originally a very wide channel, but now there is only a little slippery water left.

The woodlands on the backwoods are not bad, and these lands are fertile.

It is that the soil is mostly sand, which means that it belongs to sandy land.

It's not easy to grow crops in sand, so this land can be considered wasteland.

But the old lady has a way, this kind of sandy land is the best for growing peanuts and potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Although it is said that potatoes and sweet potatoes have not yet appeared in this era.

But they had no choice but to create themselves.

Don't look at the children's young age, but none of them are lazy, they are all hard-working cadres.

Mrs. Zhang knows that her grandchildren and grandchildren, who have small meetings in private, know that her grandmother eats and drinks well, and supports them.

The gods in the heavens can look at it, and give them these things to eat, but they are not allowed to eat for nothing, how can they eat and not work, that is to be retributed.

So these children are full of energy, for fear that the gods in the sky will think they are lazy.

When the house was built, the land here was about the same, and I didn't dare to open it more, mainly because it was opened all at once, and there was not so much water for irrigation.

Although Mrs. Zhang is ready to dig a well, this well is not so easy to dig, and these six adults can't exhaust people to death all at once.

There is water in his space ring, but it is only some mineral water, if this mineral water is watered, it is enough to waste.

She has a lot of water in store, but she can't always count on this mineral water in the future, so she still has to find a new water source.

But Mrs. Zhang pondered that it would be good to survive the autumn harvest, after all, it was already Qingming now.

People say that before and after the Qingming Festival, plant melons and beans.

It's too late to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes.

I took out potatoes and sweet potatoes from my ring, cut them into small pieces, and began to raise seedlings.

Not to mention that his son is a good hand at farm work, although I don't know how to grow this thing, but people use their brains a little and get started immediately.

After seven or eight days, all the seedlings were moved to the ground and planted.

The house here was also built, and even the courtyard wall was made of stone, and the courtyard wall was quite strong, and the son could also do carpentry work, and cut down the doors and windows from the mountain, including the bed, the cupboard, the dining table, and the bench.

They moved in two days after the house was built.
