Chapter 116: Frozen Ice

The house was coming back, and Aunt Liang and Qu Wen began to get busy. The house was too crowded, and they wanted to move out as soon as possible, and the rest of the people were so relaxed, so we all started to help them find the house and yard.

Weiwei helped Qu Feng and Aunt Liang clean up the house in the west (later said Qu Feng's house) from the inside out, and I don't know if the original residents were too buried, or Li Feng was too unparticular, in short, the house was like it hadn't been cleaned for eight hundred years, and they consumed a small bag of laundry detergent for washing rags, which showed how dirty it was.

Originally, Aunt Liang couldn't see the white color when she saw that the walls in the house were smoked, so she wanted to paint them before moving in. The sister-in-law said that it was too cold in winter to paint the wall, and if you wanted to paint, you could wait until the beginning of spring.

The eldest brother-in-law is right to think about it, Jiang Zhi also said that after the beginning of spring, we will help the eldest sister and the second sister's family to change the kitchen and flue to the current one of our family, and the house will also be repaired. The backyard can be built according to the size of a greenhouse, and you can also focus on fresh vegetables in the winter, and then find someone to help expand the cellar, and store more autumn vegetables in the autumn, and then dig an ice cellar under the cellar like our home, and store ice in winter.

Aunt Liang listened to Jiang Zhi's words, praised me vigorously, and found a good husband, so worried about her mother's sisters.

That is, Jiang Zhi has no sisters, so he treats my sister like his own sister, he will definitely take care of what he can take care of, and besides, we still have this ability now, we need people (Li Cheng and a few of them), and talents (Lu Fang is a professional in this area). Of course, he said it generously.

The second sister's house was cleaned up by me and Qu's mother.

Her house is next to our house, which should be a wall, and this wall refers to the courtyard wall of my house. The current courtyard wall of her house is still a wooden fence, and when I went to see it, I pointed to it and said, "This one has to be replaced, and it has to be replaced with a brick wall." ”

The second sister said, "Okay, then it's up to you." ”

When we went in again, the house was really bad, and the overall feeling was old and dilapidated. The house is a very old-fashioned house structure, and the entrance is a hall house, and there are two stoves on the left and right of the hall house. Driving two large black pots, the countertops are all black and greasy, which are the greasy stains left by perennial cooking.

There are two bedrooms on the left like our house, and only one bedroom on the right. This is because the whole garden is in the shape of a long and narrow one. It is a house sandwiched between our house and the old Guo family next to it. It was only wide enough to build four rooms.

That's it, there is only one person's walkway between the two sides of the house and the wooden fence, and the yard behind it is also this width, but it is very long.

Qu's mother said that it was a little small, and the second sister Qu said: "It's not small, usually the three of us live, it's enough, even if you and my dad come to live, there will be a place to live." ”

I also said next to me, "Let's stay first." When spring came, Jiang Zhi said that he would renovate these two houses. Just change it according to the way we live now. The second sister can be covered with a layer, the kang in this house is not very easy to burn, and it will have to be re-enacted next year. This year, we can only deal with it first, at most, it will cost some firewood and charcoal, and we can also burn the heat at home. ”

Qu's mother nodded after listening, and took us to plan again, what will the backyard be used for, and draw a piece of land in the snow with branches for a while, and said that this is to build a chicken coop, and the chickens can lay a few eggs enough for their own family to eat in the future. Then he drew a plot of land elsewhere, saying that he would open a vegetable patch, and that his family would grow some vegetables in the summer to eat for the whole family.

I don't have an opinion when I listen, in fact, if I can renovate the house this year, I will definitely build a greenhouse in this backyard, so that I can grow some small vegetables to eat in winter, and then I can build a chicken rack in the greenhouse, and raise 10 8 chicks enough to eat eggs for myself.

The second sister later expressed her opinion that she wanted to follow in my footsteps, and she wanted what I became. Does this mean that the second sister has seen my importance and is ready to completely obey my command and be on par with me?

After that, we packed everything we could pack now, and then the eldest sister and the second sister officially moved into a new home on March 11, 2015, the 20th day of the first lunar month, and began to live on their own.

On the night before leaving, I gave the eldest sister and the second sister 10 spirit fruits each, telling them the use of this red fruit, and after they heard it, they thought that the red fruit I gave was too little, and I said a lot, really.

The Gathering Spirit Grass I planted in the space can bear up to 8 Gathering Spirit Fruits per plant, except for refining the leaves, which will use 4 and leaving one as a seed, at most three Gathering Spirit Fruits can be left in each plant. The Gathering Spirit Grass in my space has only been harvested, so now I can only give 10 seeds to one person first.

I took out two more and asked them to try it to see if the method I thought of was feasible, and the result was good, and the method of crushing the Gathering Spirit Fruit could indeed activate the talisman. The eldest sister and the second sister both used light talismans, and after they used them, they said that they were too exciting, as if they were about to float. How exaggerated is this, they are using it for the first time, and they can't grasp the balance of the body after reducing gravity, so they will have the feeling of floating, and the next time they use it, this feeling will definitely be gone.

But I didn't tell them, just let them be happy, and I was also very happy, because the spirit fruit is good, which means that the safety of my sisters will be guaranteed in the future.

I also told them that this fruit is not easy to come by, and it should be used when there is something important and important.

The sisters were all happy to put away the Gathering Spirit Fruit, and took a large stack of talismans from me. I really want to say to them: What's the use of you wanting more, without the Spirit Gathering Fruit, those talismans are just waste paper to you. But seeing their happy looks, the words that they wanted to say swallowed back, forget it, they were happy, I have these talismans.

After the eldest sister's family and the second sister's family were settled, our family set out to start making ice bricks. All the materials in the ice cellar have been removed, and if all the ice cubes in the 100-square-meter ice cellar are stored, they will not be old or young. And it's already mid-March, and according to the annual temperature change, it is starting to thaw at this time. In a month's time, the rice will be planted. But the weather is still cold, and I don't know if it will suddenly cool down like last November, so we are now short of time and have a heavy task, so we must fill the ice cellar before the snow melts.

Jiang Zhi, Li Cheng, Li Shanqing, and the eldest brother-in-law went to the creek to pull the clean snow and came back, and our female comrades melted the snow in a cauldron at home, and then took it outside to freeze into an ice mound.

We didn't boil the snow water this time, but poured it into a bucket and froze it. This will not only save some firewood, but also speed up the speed. Because I don't think these ice cubes will necessarily be drunk by us in the future, and it is likely that they will be used to water the ground in the future, so there is no need to boil all the snow water. Even if it is a human drink at that time, you can wait until the ice turns into water and then boil it to drink, at that time boiling water will also save firewood, in short, I don't think it's necessary, everyone listens to me, so I follow suit.

The fire at home every day is quite a waste of firewood, and the stove in our kitchen is connected to the fire wall at home, so the kang burning upstairs and downstairs is too hot, and we can't sleep on it at night.

Therefore, in order to be afraid of wasting ourselves and suffering a crime, we distributed the firewood to the younger aunt's family, the eldest sister and the second sister's family, and asked them to burn snow water at home in the morning, make ice fast, and let Jiang Zhi and them pull it back with a tricycle in a few afternoons.

My aunt's family didn't dare to burn firewood too hard before, because I didn't know when the snow would end, so I always wanted to save a little, this time our family begged them for help, but they agreed in one mouthful, we didn't want the firewood we gave, said that the firewood at home was enough to burn, I said to burn ours first, if it is not enough, your family is giving our family a point, this aunt reluctantly accepted. In this way, her family burns snow water for a morning, which helps us do our work, and the house can be hot for a day, which should be a win-win.

Later, the aunt's family didn't need Jiang Zhi to send them snow, the sister-in-law pushed the cart out to pull, the eldest sister's family also helped the eldest brother-in-law to pull it in Chenchen, only the second sister's second brother-in-law couldn't work, so a few of them could send snow to my family and the second sister's house first, if our side was enough, we would send one or two more cars to the aunt's house and the eldest sister's house, the aunt's neighbor Aunt Qin and the second sister's neighbor Aunt Guo all helped our family boil a few pots of snow water from time to time, and they didn't want my firewood. That's by the way. And Aunt Qin saw that our family was so busy, so she asked her son to help us go to the snow together, saying that her son had the strength and had been idle at home for several months, so he would move this time when he had the opportunity.

Although they don't care, I have written down this love, and I will return it when I have the opportunity in the future.

Aunt Qin's son is called Qin Hanbin, and he is also a veteran, so he and Jiang Zhi have been working hard together for a day, and they have extremely admired these men in our family. After that, everyone who had nothing to do liked to report to our house, and brought a helper, that is, Chen Ming.

Chen Ming was also very affectionate when he saw us, Brother Jiang and his sister-in-law shouted, Jiang Zhi and they went out to work, and he also took the initiative to help.

We move so frequently, the people in the village talk about us, and Aunt Qin and Aunt Guo also asked me, why are there so many ice mounds? I didn't hide it, I said that I was afraid that the summer would be as dry as last year, so I would put the ice lump in the ice cellar and store it now, and if the weather was really dry this summer, I could take it out for emergencies, and if it wasn't dry, I could also take it out for adults and children to relieve the heat.

After listening to what I said and thinking about it, they felt very reasonable, this digging ice cellar can be said to be beneficial and harmless, and digging ice cellars also has ready-made talents Lu Fang, they only need to pay some manual money and material money, so they also said that they will dig one at home in the spring of this year.

I saw that they were all tempted, so they said that if they want to dig, they will hurry up, or there will be more people who will dig it, and if they spend too much money, they may have to be ranked right, so I don't know when they will be able to get it up.

As soon as they heard what I said, they all went to find Lu Fang, saying that they wanted to book in advance, and that this year the weather was good, they would dig for the two of them first, and they were promised by Lu Fang that they would dig for their house after digging their own house, and then they left satisfied.

I also talked to Lu Fang and told her that it was best to dig an ice cellar for others this year, don't ask for money, and convert it into food.

Lu Fang now admired me and Jiang Zhilao, so he agreed without asking anything else. I just think this kid is still too simple, and he has to be trained and trained. (To be continued.) )
