218. You can't sit and eat empty

The old woman had already expected it, but she couldn't help but feel sad when she heard the old man say it, after all, she had lived for decades, and everything inside and outside the home was purchased little by little, and she poured her feelings into it.

With a sour nose, the old woman sat next to the old man and patted the old man's hand.

"It's okay, we will build it after the home is gone, our family is better than anything else."

"Yes, we're all fine" The old man nodded, and pulled out an ugly smile at his wife.

Hua Chengtian on the side looked at his father and mother worriedly, but fortunately, although the two elders were sad for a while, they soon got better before they put their minds at ease.

Hua Jin even grinned and gaged beside her grandmother, making them uneasy.

When they are in a bad mood, they don't have to think about it, just find something to do.

It's sad to have no brocade at home, but as long as you have silver, you're not afraid, but the premise is to be able to survive the disaster that God has descended on.

"Grandma, I don't know when this rain will fall, should we do our old job."

"The old business?" The old couple looked at each other and looked at their granddaughter suspiciously.

So...... What is their old job?

Hua Jin laughed: "Grandma, haven't you forgotten our winter vegetables?" ”

"The rain is so heavy, and there is no tendency to stop, although the vegetables at home are all cleaned up when you go up the mountain, but the fresh ones can't be eaten for a long time, aren't we all bringing the boxes of vegetables together, grandma should be the time to give full play to your residual heat."

said that he squeezed his eyes at the two elders, and what he said was that he was depressed and full of passion.

Looking at the granddaughter who wanted to divert their attention and bother to find something to do for them, the old woman and the old man couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, yes, we Jin'er considered it in a timely manner, and we really can't sit back and eat nothing." The old woman looked at her granddaughter dotingly.

"Then what are you waiting for, plant it now." The interest of the old man was also raised.

The child is right, instead of having time to feel sorry for himself, it is better to grow some vegetables when he has time, and everyone can eat them.

As he spoke, he walked to the innermost boxes of earth.

It took a lot of effort to transport these boxes, and the family's cattle and horses were very tired, and thanks to them, the family saved a lot of effort.

Successfully mentioning her grandmother's passion, Hua Jin was secretly proud, followed her in a hurry, and followed her grandfather to work.

For this reason, Hua Chengtian also gave his daughter a clever look with appreciation, and then hurried to help together.

Since I decided to grow vegetables, of course, I wanted to grow them well, but in the end I decided to move all these boxes under the rocks outside the cave.

There is no light in the cave all year round, and although vegetables can grow, it is impossible to grow well without light.

Although the bottom of the rock is fenced, there are a few windows left at the top during the masonry, and you can still see the light during the day.

Of course, the Hua Yunao brothers didn't dare to help out together, otherwise the white eyes of grandpa and daddy would kill them.

In the end, the wooden box in the cave can be moved out is not counted, in line with the principle of not wasting space, Hua Chengtian took his son to work again, ready to make more large wooden boxes, planted must have a variety of several varieties, if feasible to grow out and wait for next spring to plant some food, although not much, but better than nothing.

The most important thing is that these can also be covered, and the fresh things in the girl's space can also be taken out.

The next time to plant vegetables, make wooden boxes to make wooden boxes, everyone has something to do, time flies quickly, soon a few days have passed, and everyone's mood has already recovered.

Knowing that the village chief was planting vegetables in the cave, every household in the big cave could not follow suit, and they all began to try to plant.

There is no shortage of grain and pickles, even potatoes can be eaten for a long time, and there is no shortage of vegetables in a short time.

There is no vegetable garden, and they are all used to living a good life, and they have all pulled it out when they go up the mountain.

But the fresh vegetables are not tolerant to put it, and the yellow leaves will wilt in a few days, and they are afraid that they will be salted if they are bad, and they can only go out to dig wild vegetables if they want to eat fresh.

But the wild vegetables outside are not easy to dig, the village chief's family reminded them, fortunately, the family's wooden boxes were also brought when they went up the mountain, thinking that they were all made of wood and could not be wasted, but they didn't expect it to come in handy, but the mud inside had to take some effort.

Fortunately, the mountains they are located on the front and back are rich in vegetation and soil, so as long as they are not afraid of hard work, it is not a problem to get some soil.

So almost every family went out with two or three people to collect soil on the adjacent mountain, and some of them dug up a lot of wild vegetables, which can be regarded as solving the problem of vegetable leaves at home.

At that time, the height of the flood had risen to a few feet high in the mountains after the unremitting efforts of the rain these days, and the forests under the mountains were completely submerged, and the chances of surviving if they accidentally fell down were very small.

Everyone was very careful with every step when they climbed to the neighboring mountains, but fortunately, the mountains on the left and right were bordering each other, otherwise the mountains they were on would have become an isolated island surrounded by floods.

Hundreds of people going out together is quite intimidating, and just looking at the number can force back a lot of beasts.

Therefore, although everyone was also worried, it was quite smooth, not only dug enough soil and wild vegetables, but also caught a few pheasants and hares with good luck, which was considered to improve the food for the family.

The whole day was tossed back and forth, and at the same time, a lot of firewood was made, and everyone could stay comfortably in the mountains for a short time.

I just hope that the rain will stop soon.

The days of being comfortable with Huajia Village are still comfortable, and the people hiding in other mountains in Shanggu Town are living a miserable life.

Those who were lucky enough to escape the flood instinctively climbed to a higher place, trying to find a place to hide away from the flood.

Unfortunately, most people have no good choice except to hide in the mountains in advance, and if they have a lot of supplies, they can build a simple version of the shed with oilcloth and nearby materials.

Most of the people who fled to the mountains in a hurry lost a lot of their things, so they had to take materials nearby and build simple sheds with trees, grass and vines.

If you are lucky enough to find a rock as a bunker, at least you don't have to worry about rain leakage, these good places in Shandong have long been occupied in advance, where can they still be their turn.

Unless there is enough force, it is not for nothing that there is blood to snatch a cave.

Most of these caves are occupied by the rich and powerful or those with large families, or they are haunted by the whole store, where is it so easy to rob.

Solving the problem of housing is the problem of food.

The village that went up the mountain in advance to avoid disasters is okay, the preparations are relatively sufficient, and all the food and everything is moved up the mountain together, so there is no need to worry about it for a year and a half.

Most of these villages are gathered in one place, and they are more united, especially when disaster strikes, they are even more united when there is no luck, even if someone thinks of bad intentions, they have to weigh their own ability.

However, for those who are unprepared and flee to the mountains in a hurry, or accidentally throw away food and other food when the flood comes, food is an urgent matter, followed by warm clothing.

The only thing that is fortunate is that you can still dig some wild vegetables, wild fruits, chestnuts or something in the mountains, and if you are lucky, you can also hunt some pheasants, hares and other small game.

Especially as the temperature gets lower and lower when it rains, especially at night, those who lack warm clothes can only snuggle up to each other to keep warm.

His mind was fast thinking of the chaos when he was fleeing for his life, so he sneaked down the mountain, not to mention that some of them really found a lot of things, food, clothes, quilts and so on.
