Chapter 60: Heavy Snow Covers the Mountain

Sister, we get it." However, after the younger siblings of the Liu family heard their eldest sister's words, the atmosphere was a little gloomy.

"It's all grandma's bad feelings, which affects the family." Liu Zhang's family also knew that his illness had cost a lot of money, and it had affected the family, so Liu Zhang's had some self-blame.

"Grandma, we are all relatives connected by blood, don't say anything else, we are all a family, no matter who it is, the eldest sister doesn't want to leave anyone behind." Liu Yiyu held Liu Zhang's hand and said.

"Mother, what the eldest sister said is, don't say so much, everyone eats."

After burning the kang for two or three days, Liu Yiyu saw that his sister and brother dug the kang, as long as it was burned for more than three hours, the heat under the ground slowly rose, and the temperature in the cave slowly increased.

At this time, after burning the kang for three days, the cave was extremely warm, not cold, compared to the burning kang in the self-built houses of the farmers in Shangou Village, I am afraid that it is almost the same, these two kangs were dug by Liu Yiyu's sisters and brothers.

In the past three days, Liu Yiyu also took the Liu family sisters and brothers to dig several holes the size of adult fingers in the front of the cave and the right wall of the cave.

The front of the cave door is closed with a curtain made of cotton, to prevent the cold outside from entering the inside, there are no transparent doors and windows in the cave, after closing the curtain, the cave is bleak, it is inconvenient to do anything, plus the cold winter in the north, it is a family nesting on the warm kang with melon seeds, embroidery patterns, sewing and mending, chatting about things, plus the Liu family does not have so much lamp fuel consumption, there is no light in the cave, it is inconvenient to do anything.

Liu Yiyu pondered digging a few holes in the cave and letting in the light from the outside.

After digging the hole, even if the curtain at the entrance is closed, the light in the cave is bright, and it is more comfortable to look at.

At night, when I went to bed, I plugged the holes with rags, and during the day I opened them, and the family did other work in the caves.

Rao was a day like four or five days, and he couldn't do anything else, waiting in the cave, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, and he was bored.

Liu Yiyu also wanted to calm down and learn embroidery with A-Niang, but Liu Yiyu couldn't learn this embroidery, and the small needle didn't listen to the instructions in Liu Yiyu's hand.

Obviously embroidered on the top, but he just stuck his finger on it.

Liu Li on the side saw the eldest sister's needle eye in her hand, and she also felt sorry for the eldest sister, so she asked the eldest sister to watch from the side first, and don't do it first.

As for Liu Yimeng's three little ones, they stayed in the cave for two days, but they couldn't stay any longer, so they went down the mountain to find two dogs to play with the baby in Shangou Village.

In addition, Liu Li made cotton clothes, cotton pants and cotton shoes for everyone in the Liu family, and after the suit was ready, he was not afraid of a few small ones, and the three small ones were not good at doing anything in the cave, and they were afraid that after the three small ones were stuffy, they also agreed to let the three small ones go out to play, but they couldn't help but advise.

"Grandma, mother, I'm bored in the cave, go out to collect firewood."

"Grandma, mother, eldest sister, I'll go too" "And me?" ”。 Liu Yishuang, who had no talent for needlework, heard that his eldest sister was going out to collect firewood, so he hurriedly jumped up from the kang and said loudly.

Liu Yihao also shouted immediately to go.

"Cheng, you three sisters and brothers should be careful when you go out, don't get lost, wear more clothes and go out, don't be cold." The eldest sister stayed in the cave and couldn't do other work, Liu Li saw that their three sisters were a little listless, and also wanted their three sisters and brothers to go out to breathe, so as not to get stuffy in the cave.

"Mother, I've grown up, I'll come by myself." Liu Yihao glanced at Xun'er, his face was slightly red, and he didn't let Liu Li dress himself.

"No matter how young you are, are you also your mother's son? However, when you grow up, your daughter-in-law will do these things for you."

Xun'er on the side heard Liu Li's quip, his face turned red with shame, and he lowered his head to his chest.

"Mother, what do you say? Eldest sister, I'll go out first, I'll wait for you outside." Liu Yihao's face was also flushed, he glanced at Xun'er, quickly removed his eyes, and after shouting, he ran outside.

"Whew, it's so cold?". Liu Yiyu just came out of the cave, and suddenly couldn't adapt to the cold air outside the cave, Liu Yiyu couldn't help but play a clever way, and saw that Liu Yihao and Liu Yishuang each brought a firewood knife, and hurriedly chased them out and said, "Wait for the eldest sister."

The heavy snow in the north closed the mountains, the snow was knee-thick, walking on the snow, stepping on the 'creaking' sound, Liu Yiyu's sisters and brothers did not dare to go deep into the mountains, the branches that were crushed by the heavy snow outside, cut off with a firewood knife, and then tied up, a short period of effort, tied up two large handfuls.

"Haha", "Hee-hee", "Hurry up". Liu Yiyu, who was chopping firewood, heard the sound of children's laughter in his ears.

Liu Yiyu faintly seemed to hear the voices of his sixth sister, seventh brother and eighth sister.

"Eldest sister, look, where are the three of them playing?" Liu Yiyu and the three of them were chopping wood next to a hillside, Liu Yihao also heard the voices of the six sisters and the three of them, and looked down the hillside, and saw a group of children in Shangou Village, sitting on the bench one by one.

Liu Yihao's face also showed a look of interest.

Liu Yiyu, who looked at this scene, was a little sad, thinking that his fifth brother was only eight years old this year, and he should be carefree at the age of eight, but the Liu family is all old and weak women and children, and Liu Yihao, who is the eldest grandson of the Liu family, shouldered the burden early.

Although this family is supported by itself for the time being, one day, this family still needs Liu Yihao to set up a door.

"Fifth brother, next time I go to play with the sixth sister, Fangzheng is now winter, and there is nothing to do." Liu Yiyu looked at a group of children, paddling on the ice, playing happily.

Suddenly, Liu Yiyu's heart moved, thinking of what he had seen on TV before, the matter of fishing in the ice cave in the north seems to be that after the river in the north freezes, it is impermeable, and the fish under the ice seem to be hypoxic, and after the ice cave comes out, the fish under the ice will surface and breathe oxygen.

Although fish and meat are cheap, it is better meat, whether it is eaten at home or sold for money.

It seems that Liu Yiyu also knows that in ancient times, the price of fish in winter was comparable to pork, because after the river surface in the north froze, it was not easy to catch fish.
