Chapter X

The two old men were interested, commanded Li Jie and Wang Kai, and said, "You two go and clean up the canvas and wipe it clean!" We're two on business! ”

These two old men used to see each other less, so they had a relationship with their families, but these days they have had more contact, and the relationship has developed better for the brothers.

Li Jie helplessly pulled Wang Kai and dragged a large pile of dirty canvases to the yard. Shake the floor, good guys! This gray big!

Sweep the canvas with Wang Kai's buttocks, and after sweeping the dust, I found a rag to wipe it carefully, after all, I have to lie on it and sleep at night!

drove away the women who wanted to help, and the two of them chatted for a long time, their faces were black and messy, and they were finally clean.

On the other side, the two old men laughed at the weasel who wanted to steal the chicken, and they mysteriously didn't know what they were doing.

After tossing for a long time, the canvas was spread on the floor of the bedroom, washed clean, toothpaste and soap, Li Jie's family collected a lot of them when they were sweeping the building, and they brought them all, and there was no shortage of them for the time being.

After washing, I checked the yard gate, and the latch lock was good, and then I was relieved that I could sleep.

Li Jie found a few old nails, stared at two nails on the wall, used discarded wires as ropes, hung a clean colored striped cloth, and separated the bed. Xie Xiaoli, Han Caixia and Lu Pei, mother and daughter, put several layers of clothes on themselves, put the down jacket under them, and then covered the quilt, and prepared to sleep. Go to bed! ”

After saying that, the curtain was drawn and he went to sleep.

The canvas is big enough, and it can be spread in three layers when folded, Li Jie sat on the canvas on the ground, wondering, these two old men don't sleep in the middle of the night, thinking about what?

Thinking about it, he went out, and when he went downstairs, he met the two old men going upstairs with a smile, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Dad, what are you doing downstairs, so happy?" ”

Zeng Aiguo smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, sleep and sleep!" ”

Li Jie looked at his father suspiciously, and Li Jianguo also had a bad taste, and he also smiled and said nothing.

Needless to say, on this night, the family went to bed early, there were no electric lights, no computers, and the oil lamps were blown out, and the whole house was plunged into darkness.

Outside the window, there is no roar of cars passing by, no noise of construction at the construction site next door, and no lights that keep going all night, the world seems so strange at this moment!

Close your eyes and quietly tell yourself that everything will be fine......

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Li Jie woke up early, and the sky was only faintly bright.

was about to get dressed, and his father Li Jianguo next to him also moved, then opened his eyes and woke up.

Maybe it was because I went to bed too early last night, and the family soon woke up one after another. The three female generals are slowly getting dressed at the moment, and the father and son will soon get it done.

opened the door, and a gust of cold air instantly made Li Jie shiver. The whole person shuddered, and Li Jie, who was used to air conditioning and heating, couldn't help but scold: "Hell, it's so cold!" ”

Downstairs, Li Jianguo and Li Jie lit a fire together and boiled a pot of hot water. Just as he was adding firewood, Wang Kai kept sneezing, and ran to the kitchen with black circles under his eyes, where he was roasting by the fire.

Li Jie took a look, obviously didn't sleep well, and there was no quilt, he slept in clothes all night, in this suburb, he was afraid that he was frozen, so he quickly scooped a bowl of hot water and handed it over.

Wang Kai took the hot water, snuggled up to the fire, shivered, and said, "Thank you, Brother Jie!" If it weren't for your down jacket, I would have been cold last night! ”

Yesterday, Xie Xiaoli distributed the extra cotton clothes brought by the family to the four people who did not have quilts, and asked them to cover them at night to make do.

The hot water was boiled, and the group was already dressed and got up. There is a bathroom in the small courtyard, and behind the side of the small building, there is a simple shed, and the roof is gone. Of course there is no toilet, a typical old-fashioned thatched pit with a small septic tank attached underneath. It was already overgrown with withered weeds.

Simply, a fire was lit directly, the dead grass was quickly burned clean, and a group of people solved their personal problems in the open-air bathroom that exuded residual warmth.

For breakfast, Li Jianguo came up with a new idea, boiled a pot of rice porridge, and threw some potatoes into it in the embers of the charcoal fire.

By the time the porridge cooled a little, the potatoes were already cooked. 10 black eggs were dug out with a burning stick, and Li Jianguo began to remember the bittersweet education again: I think back then, there was no food at home for 60 years, and your grandmother ......

Li Jie and Xie Xiaoli rolled their eyes at the same time, this glorious history Li Jianguo has spoken 800 times!

Around the table, one person had a bowl of porridge, and one person shared a baked potato, which was eaten with salt. To be honest, including Li Jianguo himself, they are just scratching the surface, and no one likes this way of eating.

After eating, Liu Qin scrambled to wash the dishes, which were left by the previous owner in the kitchen. Li Jie stopped: "Don't wash it, let's leave in a while, why do you still wash the bowl, the water we bring is also limited, don't wash it!" ”

Zeng Aiguo and Li Jianguo stopped everyone who was about to pack up their things with a smile at this moment, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to pack up, go, go to the door, and show you a good thing!" ”

The two of them smiled mysteriously, everyone was puzzled, and followed to the yard, a colored striped cloth covered with a bunch of things, I don't know what it was, Li Jianguo opened it, and it turned out to be the diesel drum and the generator found last night!

Li Jianguo smiled proudly: "How about it, I watched it with Lao Zeng last night, although the diesel has been stored for a long time, it is well preserved, and it can be used completely!" We also checked this generator, it is estimated that there is no problem, it should be able to use, let's put it away, and when we get to our hometown, we can also use electricity! At least there's an electric light! ”

The family's eyes lit up when they listened, and Zeng Pei asked happily: "Then wouldn't we be able to play on the computer and watch TV?" ”

Li Jie interrupted with a wry smile: "Come on, you want to be beautiful, the TV station is finished, where is the TV for you to watch!" As for the computer, the power plant stopped working, the server or something must have been shut down a long time ago, and there is no network, so you can only play alone. With electricity, we can use electric lights for real! ”

"Huh?" When Zeng Pei heard this, he was immediately a little disappointed.

Xie Xiaoli said happily: "It's good to have a lamp!" At least it's easier at night! ”

Li Jie went up to the second floor and looked outside the courtyard from a distance, no one existed, safe! I went downstairs and opened the door, loaded two large barrels of diesel fuel (in fact, only one and a half barrels) onto the bus, and carried the generator up as well, and found waste wires to tie up.

The rest packed up and tidied up, and before leaving, the door was tied tightly with wire, and as long as the infected did not invade here, they might be able to rest their feet when they passed by in the future.

After sorting out everything, the family got in the car and did a good job, Li Jie started the cash truck, glanced at the small yard, stepped on the accelerator, and drove in the direction of his hometown!
