"Hey, hey!" Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru hurriedly got up, and soon piled all the sweet potatoes in the corner, covered them with hay, and covered the rice bags with small pieces of linoleum and pressed the stones.

It's just that there are people in the cave, as long as they don't run around and turn around, they won't find that the Li family actually has so much food.

After the two of them were busy, they looked at each other, and they were all happy.

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!

They are responsible for cooking every day, and when they see the rice bags, they are worried, and they can't wait to count the rice grains in the pot.

Now it's okay, at least for a month, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking.

"Tomorrow I still have to pick more mountain goods, there are many people in the family, and it is always right to prepare more." Mrs. Li instructed.

"Got it, mother."

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru responded, and went to the entrance of the cave to shout at Li Laosan and Li Laosi below, urging them to hurry up and transport stones to build an earthen stove.

In the canyon, most of the villagers are busy around the campfire.

The night was cold, but everyone's heart was hot.

Weaving straw curtains, fetching water, cooking and washing, endless work, and endless words.

Li Laosan had a pile of mud early, and after listening to his daughter-in-law's shouting, he called Li Laosi and Jiayi Jiahuan and went to their cave together.

Jiayi followed the soft ladder, carrying a wooden bucket of mud, and climbed up like a monkey.

Then, he stood at the entrance of the cave, and Li Laosi began to throw stones upward.

Each stone was the size of a small clay pot, but in the hands of the uncle and nephew, it was as light as a sweet potato, and they were thrown up while playing.

Other families looked at the hot eyes and ran to ask for help.

So, after throwing their own stones, the uncle and nephew went from cave to cave to help.

When they returned to their homes, Li Laosan had already taken Jia Huan to build the earthen stove and started to burn the fire.

Two small pots of their own were installed on the earthen stove, one for boiling water for porridge and the other for boiling sweet potatoes.

It's just that there is no curtain at the entrance of the cave, and the mountain wind blows in, and the smoke runs in, and the choking people cough.

Li Laosan scratched the back of his head innocently, a little embarrassed.

"Tomorrow, we will build more than half of the hole, block the grass curtain, and then find a wood to buckle a chimney, and let the smoke out."

"Okay, that's good, after a while, I'll put the basket at the door after eating, so as to block the wind."

Mrs. Li comforted her son, compared to staying overnight in the woods, this is already very good.

Soon, Jia An Jiaxi's two naughty boys also returned.

It's rare for a family to get together and have a quiet dinner.

Mrs. Li was happy, cut three salted duck eggs, and the family ate sorghum rice porridge and boiled sweet potatoes with relish.

The cave is very simple, and even the entrance of the cave is whining and the wind is not very warm.

But the family doesn't have to worry about the sudden appearance of wild beasts, and they don't have to worry about insects and snakes crawling up, which is already extremely satisfying.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, everyone was even busier.

After a simple bite of food, everyone went into the forest together.

Chopping wood, cutting grass, picking up mountain goods, and even cutting trees, digging wooden barrels, and making chimneys, every family is busy.

After all, if you want to live here for a winter, and you know that there will be heavy snow to close the mountain, if you don't hurry up and stock up on firewood and food at this time, you are simply looking for death.

Except for Mrs. Li, who hugged Jiayin to watch the house, the rest of the people went down.

Li Laosan thought that the cave was too small to be used, so when he came back from cutting down the tree, he tossed it at the bottom of the cliff.

He was also skillful, not only making a cigarette tube, but also nailing a square table and a few small benches.

I was afraid that Jiayin would be too small to sit still, so I made an extra small chair with a backrest.

Jiayin lay on the straw mat at the entrance of the cave, and looked down at the bustle.

In fact, she has a lot of these wooden objects in her space, but it is inconvenient to take them out at this time.

Not to mention that Liu Darttou's father and son must always be in contact, and there is also a doctor Zhang who is eyeing him.

If she is discovered, naturally no one will treat her as such, but she always causes trouble for the family.

As for the grains and fruits, chestnuts, dates, etc. in the space, you can just eat them and add them to your home in the future.

This is also the reason why she did not go into the mountains with her father and mother.

Like industrious ants, everyone is perfecting their caves little by little.

The Li family not only has to take care of themselves, but also gives the Liu family a hand.

Because the village chief's aunt is not in good health, Uncle Zhao is either lame or has a crippled hand, and it is always not so convenient to work.

plus a doctor Zhang, except for seeing a doctor, the rest can't handle everything.

In the final analysis, the cave next door is still a laborer for Liu Dangtou's family and the village chief.

God may indeed have a preference for everyone, and the weather these days is actually warmer than before.

This gave everyone plenty of time, and the pyres under the cliff rose at the sight of them, and there were three stacks in one stack.

Especially the one next to Li's house, almost flush with the entrance of the cave, relying on the cliff to set up, not only to block the wind, but also to reach out to get firewood, which is very convenient.

Of course, when it was burned to the end, it was still necessary to go down to get firewood, but this already made Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying very satisfied.

Li Laosi took the young people in the village to go into the mountains to hunt every day, and there were no big prey, but there were many rabbits and pheasants.

After peeling the skin and removing the internal organs, smearing it with coarse salt, and putting it outside the hole, it will air dry in two or three days.

In winter, putting a large pot of dried vegetables in a stew is enough for the family to fight tooth sacrifices.

Jiayin was idle, and began to think about helping.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were only her and her grandmother in the cave, she took out the two half-used mattresses in the small courtyard of the space and quietly put them under the dry grass.

In this way, the cool air that comes out of the bottom is completely blocked, and it is not easy to be found, and then the linoleum and futon are covered, and the bed is much thicker.

The two hot water bottles that Jiaren brought to the college before, Jiaren also carried them all the way, but there were many people in the family, and they were not enough at all.

Jia Yin turned out some glass medicine bottles in the space, old-fashioned, the kind with rubber stoppers blocked at the mouth of the bottle.

Speaking of which, this is still saved by her grandparents in her previous life.

The old man was frugal and would leave behind everything they felt might need, and now he did his granddaughter a great favor.

The rubber stopper on the top of the bottle has weathered, but a few corks will still work.

The glass bottle was filled with hot water, and it was a little hot to the touch.

Mrs. Li sewed the cloth bag well, and the mouth of the bag was still drawn.

At night, the hot simple hot bag is stuffed into the quilt, old and young, one for each person.

The cold feet stepped on it, and soon the whole body was warm, and everyone who was comfortable sighed long.

Jia Xi Jia'an was naughty and curious, and he had to open the bag to take a look, and was knocked by Mrs. Li alone.

"If you dare to open it and talk nonsense, you won't want to eat candy in the future."

Jia Xi Jia'an immediately became honest, shrunk in the quilt, showed his little head, and whispered from time to time.

Jiayin was tired and drowsy during the day, and he was disturbed by his brother, so he stuffed them with a candy ball, and the hole was immediately quiet...

That night, the third heavy snow fell, and when the villagers got up in the morning, they went down to the cave and the snow was up to their knees.

Everyone was glad that they weren't lazy before, otherwise they would be really blind at such a time.

Fortunately, the waterfall has enough water, and the waterhole is not frozen, so everyone does not have to worry about getting water once a day.

In this way, after three or four days of cats, Li Laosi was a little idle.

He climbed to the cave next door and discussed with the village chief and Liu Darttou, wanting to go out and have a look.

If you can hunt, you can hunt, and if you encounter people, it will be even better, and you always have to ask what is going on outside.

Otherwise, after the New Year, it will be bad if you go out and crash directly into the arms of the barbarian.
