Chapter 0082 Missing
There are fewer and fewer things to eat, but there are still some people who can live.
And, this year, I saw that Liu Ya's family raised chickens, and many families in the village also raised them.
The big deal is to put it in the house in winter, it stinks
Some people have earthen stoves in their empty houses, and this summer, when they got a lot of wood from the mountains, they made fires to keep the animals warm.
On Wednesday, the cows and chickens lived in the same house, but the chickens were inside the fence.
There was an earthen stove here, and wood and large charcoal were also burned.
Li Xiaorui has been here for a few months, and he is already very used to it, after eating well, he has grown a little taller, and he has also gained weight, at least a normal body shape.
At this time, he was busy going in and out, and he was also very relieved to be the second elder on Wednesday, and he saved a lot of trouble.
After all, when I'm old, I can't do a lot of hard work.
Although Li Xiaorui is still a teenager, he is also stronger than the two old men.
Of course, the second elder didn't ask him to work in vain, and spent his time making food for him every day.
Even if the diet is simple now, to put it bluntly, raising so many chickens is not for him.
The second elder eats eggs at most, and the meat can't be eaten.
Now that the weather has just changed, every household is still busy, and the food collected has to be dried.
No matter how bad it is, it's also food.
In a hurry, I opened a mill and an oil mill for a few more days.
The primary school had to be closed, and Old Man Zhang and his granddaughter also prepared a lot of food here.
There are people in the village who have children in the family to give relief, and there are also people who take the time to go up the mountain to collect medicine in the summer.
All the burned wood was exchanged for medicinal materials from the villagers.
There are also two pickled rabbits, and some of the things brought by the family in exchange for food, barely getting by this winter.
After all, an old one doesn't eat much.
Where had Niuniu ever lived such a hard life before, but she almost starved to death after being robbed last winter, and she got used to it.
I still don't like this kind of food, but no matter what, it's better than starving.
The two of them were still thinking that at the end of the year, when Liu Ya's family killed the pig, they would come back in exchange for some meat.
You can get by no matter what.
With last year's experience, this year everyone is waiting for the arrival of the extreme cold.
There are also people who are still harvesting radishes, which can still grow when the ground begins to freeze, but it is also limited, that is, a few degrees below zero.
If you don't collect it, you'll really freeze in the ground.
Anyway, while everyone was busy and waiting, in the tenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the second heavy snow came with strong winds and frost.
In an instant, the temperature went from minus 10 degrees Celsius to minus 40 degrees.
At night, it was already more than 50 degrees below zero.
Everyone's voice is that it's finally here.
Humans are creatures that follow habits.
In the past, it was the rotation of the four seasons of the year, but now that there is no such rotation as in the past, at least there must be a pattern.
Now this is the law, there are only two seasons left in the year, people are still strange, but no matter how strange the law is, it is also the law.
If there is no such rule, then there is no way to live.
Liu Ya's house, the first hot pot in winter this year is steaming.
Liu Ya's family and Zhou Jing sat on the big kang on the first floor.
Lying on the ground were two dogs gnawing on meat and bones.
The two clicked and ate very happily, and the tail swept away.
On the side of the kang, Xiao Chen, who still couldn't cross his legs, was eating willow buds and dried mushrooms for him.
"Well, this mushroom is fragrant." They are all summer picked, sun-dried wild mushrooms.
"yes, it's just that the wet can't be saved. However, this mushroom has an earthy smell when it is wet. Liu Ya said.
Xiao Chen nodded, he had eaten it when it was wet, and it was indeed not as delicious as it is now.
"I estimated that when it came to the wax moon, the pig was killed, and the Zhoujiazhuang family was divided into two catties. Cao Jiawa and Han Liangzi also shared two catties on who had relatives. What do you think? Zhou Zhigao said.
"Light and some meat?" Muffin felt less.
"It's a lot, if this was in the past, my family would be happy to share ten catties, but now even if our family can afford it, it can't be like this." Zhou Zhigao said: "Just give some melon seeds and sugar to the dolls in the village." ”
Many melon seeds are still hoarded before willow buds, although this thing also has a shelf life, but in fact, as long as it has been vacuum packed, it will not be broken.
If it's not a vacuum, it will smell like a harazi after a long time.
"Yes, do you want to call someone close to you to eat then?" Liu Ya asked.
The above is naturally for her and Xiao Chen, and the two certificates were received, but according to the meaning of Zhou Zhigao and Ma Fen, they also want everyone in the village to know.
"Your uncle's family definitely wants it, you also want it from your grandfather's family on Wednesday, Zhou Hu's family...... We have been close in the past two years, and we can do it. Call the village chief and Niuniu again. I see that Xiao Chen has a good relationship with that Wu Qi, so I called the nephew and uncle. That's pretty much it. ”
"Well, just pick a good day, kill the pig, and treat yourself." Zhou Zhigao said.
Liu Ya looked at Xiao Chen with a smile.
It means that when we get married, it will become a pig killing day.
Xiao Chen also felt Coke and laughed.
The bone broth in the pot is bubbling with a layer of red pepper floating on top.
Zhou Zhigao put down some meat: "Eat quickly, I've been busy for a few months, look at the two of you thin." ”
Xiao Chen has indeed lost weight, although he didn't work in the field this summer, he has to be busy and has too many things to plan.
And now the older people in the village like to look for him for everything.
He doesn't say that he will come whenever he calls, and he will help anyone he can anyway.
Of course he is not a holy father, but only wise and kind-hearted.
It's only been a year, and he has already integrated into the village and become an important person in the village.
Liu Ya is purely unaccustomed to it, and life is too fast in one summer, so people lose a little weight.
But both of them are actually normal and have lost a little weight, not much thin.
It's just that in the eyes of parents, their children are always thin.
Zhou Jing has lost a lot of weight, and now she has a normal girl's body shape.
But whether you are thin or not, the hot pot is really delicious.
The greenhouse is also rich in things, and more vegetables are planted this year.
Compared to the outside, after a summer of frantic weeding, the greenhouse finally contained the weeds.
No matter how much you have, you can't help but pull it out every day.
So the vegetables grow much better than on the outside.
After everyone finished eating the hot pot, they cleaned up and cut a big watermelon.
This is also in the greenhouse.
However, the melon that was supposed to be eaten in July was slow to grow because of the many weeds, and it has been stunned until now.
I picked quite a few of them.
There are a lot of strawberries and melons planted in the summer.
The best growing melon is watermelon.
Ma Fen is skillful, the watermelon is eaten, and the skin is scraped clean is a cold watermelon skin.
It's delicious, but now everyone is short of vegetables.
If you don't want to shave, you can feed the open-mouthed beasts, from chickens to geese, pigs, cows, sheep and donkeys, there is nothing you don't like to eat.
Those melons that have not grown well are basically fed to the cows, and the cows and donkeys need a lot of water every day, so they should be supplemented.
