Chapter 40: Preparing for Winter

..........

It's been a few days since the tench and their group fight, and the tench hasn't let his uncle go to work again in the past few days. Anyway, the work can't reach them, of course, they have to rest well, heal from injuries, and go to work after they are busy at home.

Besides, go to work and be bullied, although the uncle didn't say it, but she didn't go to work, although the amount of mowing tasks every day is many, but the amount of the uncle's tasks is obviously beyond his own, obviously bullied, but the tench is not broken.

This child feels that he is an elder, an adult, and has to support their sisters, and there is a burden on his little shoulders. However, he himself knows that there is very little he can do for this family, and it has always been tench fish to support the family, and the young man is quite depressed, and these tenches have always been in his eyes. Therefore, although the tench knew that he might be bullied outside, he kept silent and didn't say anything to help him solve it.

Is it for his good to take care of everything for him? Although the tench has never raised a child herself, her mother in her previous life was a very controlling person, and even what time she gets up every day, what she eats, what she wears, what kind of hair she cuts, what kind of school she applies for, and what job she will find in the future are all decided for her, such a good tench has always felt suffocated. Therefore, she will not easily decide anything for these relatives in this life, let alone control them to do everything she wants!

............

In the past few days, the tench they have not been idle, the tench goes into the mountain every day, and in the morning they go into the mountain to get meat and bring it back to eat after roasting or cooking, and come back in the afternoon to help break the mud embryo. The mud bricks for the kang were enough, and they were dried while the weather was good. She didn't go into the mountains today, and planned to spend the whole day building kang for the house.

The tench had never built a kang, but she had searched for the drawings of the kang. This is also because she is bored, and when she reads the novel, she will fantasize that if she crosses over, if she crosses over to the Northeast, in the face of the cold, Kang is absolutely indispensable. In addition, she is from a history department, and she is also interested in these, and she has really searched and seriously compared the evolutionary history of the kang from ancient times to modern times.

At this time, she also had to say that she had the ability to foresee, wouldn't this be a crossing? Although it is timed to modern times and not ancient times, they can be used.

The temperature in H province is said to be not too cold in winter, and the Houshan Brigade is not a kang in every house, and many families are also sleeping in beds. But the tench is afraid that the greenhouse effect is not strong at this time, and it will be very cold. Besides, they don't know how to hit the bed, so after discussing it, they still plan to build a kang to save more trouble, and the various applications of the kang are more than the bed.

In addition, it is more comfortable to sleep on the kang when it is cold in winter, add fire, it is hot, and it is cool to lie on the kang in summer, so that it is warm in winter and cool in summer.

According to the pattern I remember in my memory, the tench began to build a shelf, and the west side leaned against the wall to set up the shelf of the kang first, and then made sure that the stove and the exhaust flue could be connected. As long as these three things are determined, the shelves are set up and the rest is easy to do.

The mud bricks are stacked in rows, and holes should be left on the left and right sides of the kang. The hole should be connected to the stove and chimney, so that the heat generated by the stove can enter the kang and the smoke can be discharged from the hole. The tench also made a hole in the wall, which was specially used as a smoke exhaust channel. In this way, as long as it is cold in the future, I will cook in the house, and I will not be idle in the cooking pot when I am ready, and hot water will be available all the time.

Originally, Ding Yu and Uncle thought that this kang would not be built in a day, and they were going to make it for two or three days, but they asked three people to make it in the middle of the afternoon. I don't know how, but it's fast.

The kang can't be used immediately after it is built, so it should be dried for a day or two to let it dry, and then it can be dried on the fire.

Since the work of building the kang has been overcompleted, and the village does not say when the grain will be paid, the wheat straw will not be distributed, and if you want to clean up the roof, you have to wait.

A few days ago, because she only entered the mountain for half a day, she didn't go far, so she walked around the nearby mountain. Before coming out today, Ding Yu told her uncle that she was going to go far, and she remembered the mountain with hot springs that she had explored half before.

As soon as she thought of it, the tench carried the necessary equipment for her to enter the mountain - carrying a basket and a bag, and walked briskly towards the mountain.

In the last days, there is often acid rain, the land is corroded and there is no green grass at all, the mutated appearance of the alien plants has turned rusty, and the roots are all deadly, and there is no softness of plants at all. After five years of barrenness, after coming to this era, tench is particularly fond of going into the mountains.

Because the mountains are full of life, this is the place where people should live!

Moreover, there are abundant materials in the mountains, and as long as she comes diligently, she is not afraid of going hungry, which really makes her not like it. Therefore, as soon as I entered the tench, I felt full of energy, and the whole person was refreshed.

Unconsciously she has come to this era for more than a month, this month is full of food, there is no shortage of meat, not to mention that the tench is raised by herself, no longer hungry soft hands and feet, weak, even the uncle and Erni, plus Sanni, who can only drink porridge and paste, do not say that there is a big change, but the flesh on the body is visible to the naked eye, and the spirit is better.

Sometimes tench fish will be confused, is the past life real or this life is real?

But no one could answer her question, so she could only pray before going to bed that she would be able to stay in the world tomorrow when she opened her eyes.

After passing through the narrow passage, turning the rocky hill, and passing through the cave, the tench came to the cave again filled with the smell of sulfur.

Looking around, there was no sign of animals coming in for so many days, and the strong smell of sulfur seemed to be really unpopular with animals.

The iron pot was stored in the space by her, and she took it out directly when she used it, and here is to take a look, look at her treasures, and then the tench will no longer delay to explore the surrounding area.

And this time she no longer only looks at where there are wild fruits, and where pheasants and hares are good at digging traps. When the village cut off her food, she thought she could find a place to grow food.

Now everything is collective, and everything belongs to the public except for the private land of each family. However, it is not without that there is a secret cultivation of food in the mountains. After all, living in the mountains, there are many children in the family, and the food distributed every year is not enough to eat, so it is everyone's consensus to find a hidden place to grow food subsidies in short supply. As long as the harvest is given to the cadres of the brigade, the cadres of the brigade will also turn a blind eye to the grain that has been obtained for nothing.

Of course, if it is time to catch the typical above, those who have less filial piety will have to be done well and sent by the village cadres to be used as a typical offering.

Therefore, although some people in the village steal grain in the mountains, after harvesting the grain, they have to give almost half of it to the village cadres, plus buying seeds, and over time there are fewer and fewer people who steal seeds.
