Chapter 1010: Famine, Natural Disasters 167

Walking to the nearest seedling, Mingyi squatted down and stroked the young leaves of the seedling with her fingers.

"Yiyi, don't worry, we'll go to the firewood room and bring some grass to cover it later."

"Thank you, cousins, I'm glad you guys helped."

After all, it was a family, and Mingyi deeply realized for the first time how lucky she was to be a girl of the Cheng family in ancient times; It is also meaningful for Heaven to throw her into the Cheng family, and it is also the fate of her walking on the avenue.

"Thank you, it's all family." Cheng Mingyi looked back and smiled.

Cheng Mingli learned the news that the seedlings were flooded in snow from his mother, and when he hurriedly ran over, he saw that they were talking and laughing, and his heart was suddenly relieved.

"Sister, cousin, how are the seedlings?"

Mingyi followed the prestige and smiled slightly: "Brother, you are here, my cousins are helping to clean up the snow covering the seedlings; Just in time you're here, let's help. ”

"Okay."

Cheng Mingli followed his sister into the field, and the six of them cooperated to pull all the seedlings out of the snow; He also brought some weeds from the firewood house as a trigger for ignition, and covered each seedling with thick weeds.

After covering it all, Mingyi swept it away at a glance, and finally felt a little relieved.

"It's snowing so early, I don't know how much snow will fall after that." Cheng Minglian sighed casually.

Hearing Mingyi's ears, I couldn't help but worry about the seedlings in the ground again.

The Cheng Mingyi brothers felt that there were a lot of words, "You said something useful, no matter how big the snow is, it lasts for a long time; This way of keeping warm is not advisable, we have to think about how to keep these seedlings, at least the result of a month of hard work. ”

"yes!" Cheng Mingming touched his chin and pondered.

Cheng Mingxin frowned and pondered.

Cheng Mingli also had a headache, and when he was groaning, he looked up and saw Mingyi's courtyard; The tiles of the house in the courtyard lit up when he stared.

"There it is!"

The four brothers Cheng Mingyi and Mingyi looked at him together.

Cheng Ming Lixing hurriedly pointed to the roof, "Look." ”

"See what?" Cheng Minglian's mouth was faster than his brain, and he turned his head to look at his hand when he spoke, "That's not the roof, why are you looking at the roof?" ”

Cheng Zhizhi punched the palm of the other hand into a fist, "I know, cover the seedlings with tiles that can shelter from the wind and rain. Weed! ”

"Didn't we build it!" Cheng Ming said.

"The second cousin and the younger cousin mean to make a house for the seedlings in these three points, cut the trunks of the trees and insert them into the land between the seedlings, and spread a thick layer of grass on them, am I right?"

Cheng Mingyi looked at the two cousins with a smile.

"Yes!" Mingli smiled, "As long as they are strong enough and the snow can't crush them, their chances of survival will be much greater; For the rest, we can't change the weather, so let's do our best. ”

"The method is a good way, but the tree stakes are busy for a long time when the third of the land is so wide; Cutting down trees is also troublesome, in addition, the need for weeds, the family is certainly not enough. ”

You can't pick up the bottom of the shop again.

Why is it so cold that you can't give the seedlings a shade to resist the cold?

"No matter how difficult it is, these seedlings are too precious." Not to mention that it was sent by the prince of Zhou, since they planted it, they must have a beginning and an end; Just talking about the fruit that these seedlings will bear when they grow, they can look forward to it.

A group of peers worked together, Cheng Mingli and Mingyi went to cut weeds, taking advantage of the fact that the snow cover was not very thick, and they could find as many as they could.

The four brothers of Cheng Mingyi took machetes to cut down trees.

I worked for most of the day without having breakfast, and it was not until noon that I got enough wood; After feeding, they moved again, chopping the wood into an even length and inserting it into the ground.

The stake is inserted, and the foundation is laid; Long trees are hung with wooden stakes horizontally and vertically, tied with weeds into straw ropes, and then a layer is placed on top of them, and then thick weeds are placed to cover them.

There weren't enough weeds, so they all six of them went out and walked back and forth more than a dozen times before covering all the three points of land.

The shelves are half a person's height from the ground, about one and a half meters; Mingyi was more than enough to go in, and the others had to bend down if they wanted to go in.

The whole day was in these three points, and the six people were tired enough.

The adults were pleased to see how busy they were; Brothers and sisters need to manage each other, and business affection is nothing more than sharing weal and woe, and experiencing hardship and happiness together is the best way to enhance the relationship.

Therefore, none of these elders reached out their hands.

After eating, the ladies put away the dishes and chopsticks, and the whole family sat together on the fire and talked, inevitably talking about what the juniors did today.

Cheng Dazhu was full of kind and pleased praise.

"You have done a good job today, the stakes are steady, the shelves are dense, and the grass is thick; After that, as long as it is not a snow disaster, it should be enough. ”

"I went to see it too, and it was really stable." Cheng Yuandong nodded in agreement.

Cheng Yuannan didn't want to see it, but just listened to them praise the juniors.

Mingyi said: "Thanks to the help of several cousins and elder brothers, otherwise, the seedlings in those three points of land may not survive; The seedlings have grown into fruit, and we can let go and eat. ”

"Little cousin is polite, isn't it, as a brother, shouldn't you do all this!" Cheng Mingyi smiled and said, "Where is it worth thanking you again and again." ”

"What your lobby brother said is that a family, there should be something to help." Cheng Yuandong nodded and gave his son affirmation.

Li Lianhua nodded beside her, this is right; In the case of not involving their own interests, it is good for a family to live in harmony and happiness.

"A few cousins are willing to help, they are brothers and sisters; As a younger sister, I should be grateful for the love of my brothers, how can I take my brothers' efforts for granted. ”

Mingyi has feelings in her heart, and she sincerely misses them for their goodness, and what naturally comes out of her face is sincerity, and there is no falsehood.

The elders only felt warm, and their bodies and minds were warm.

Not to mention the cousins who are grateful to my sister as an elder brother.

"Yiyi is really sensible." Cheng Mingyi couldn't help but sigh and felt a little closer to this sister.

People who know how to be grateful are always more likely to be recognized by others.

"No, our family etiquette is sensible and well-behaved, filial piety and intelligence, and gratitude for etiquette." Cheng Mingzhi was also full of emotion, the feeling of being remembered in my heart after paying is really good, "As brothers, we should learn from Yiyi." ”

Cheng Mingxin doesn't care so much, "Of course the etiquette is the best." ”

Cheng Minglian followed with a few praises.

Cheng Mingli's face was not obvious, and his eyes were full of pride; This is his Cheng Mingli's sister, a sister that no one else can compare.

In the face of praise, Mingyi accepted it calmly and ridiculed.

"Brothers, don't praise a few words, otherwise, my sister should be ashamed."

"Yo, will Yiyi be ashamed?"

Cheng Mingxin's words caused everyone to laugh, and the laughter continued, and the hall was full of joy.
