285. Resilience

People's resilience never knows how far it can go, even if it is very sad, it still does not affect the confidence to create a home after the sadness, and it will not be long before they can return to Shangqin Village alive, and the villagers are all moving, cleaning up the things in their own mud.

I really dug up a lot of things, although most of them were damaged, but some of them were still usable, and those that couldn't be used could be used as firewood.

"Daddy, look" Qin Ming held up an open-minded bowl and showed it to Qin Dagen of the Li family, and finally saw a trace of joy in his eyebrows.

"Great, awesome, go on, maybe there's a ...... down there" Lee's eyes lit up, encouraging his son.

I knew that it was too late when the flood came, and I was in a hurry, except for the most important food, I didn't bring many things at home, including the dishes and chopsticks, which were only enough, and if they hadn't been washed away by the water, there should have been under the mud.

Discovering more and more things that could be used, Li's heart finally relaxed a little.

"Child, come and see," followed by Qin Dagen's voice.

"What?" Before the Li family passed, the two brothers Qin Lu and Qin Ming rushed over happily, "Mother, it seems to be our family's oilcloth, and it is rolled well." Qin Ming shouted happily at the Li family.

Li Shi also hurriedly came over, looking at the oilcloth rolled into a large roll, the corners of his mouth finally rose.

"Great, our tarpaulin hasn't been washed away and is still there."

This roll is the largest piece in the family, and sometimes only two small rolls can be brought, and the big ones are too heavy to be placed in the firewood room.

"Let's dig together" Where can Li Shi bear it, pick up the hoe in his hand and plane it together.

The two adults worked together as fast as possible, and soon a bundle of oilcloth was dug up, and although it was wrapped in a thick layer of mud, it looked intact.

Qin Shu, who was digging his own beams, couldn't help but come over to take a look, but the hope he reported was not too great, after all, he had been soaked in water for a long time for a year and a half, although the appearance looked complete, I am afraid that it would have already rotted.

Just looked at the happy family, he didn't say this.

Soon the mud on top was slapped off, revealing the tarpaulin underneath.

Qin Shu found out that the outer layer turned out to be an oilcloth bag, which he really didn't know, although he also helped collect the oilcloth when he was busy farming, but in the end his father took it away, because in addition to studying, his father and mother basically didn't let him touch his hands when he was busy farming, and he didn't have time to let him stick his hands.

If this is the case, some of the oilcloth in it may really be usable, and Qin Shu also raised hope

Here, Qin Dagen couldn't wait to open the oilcloth bag, but the outer layer had already disintegrated with just a little force.

"Ah......h

"It's okay, the oilcloth daddy is wrapped tightly, maybe there is something good inside" Qin Dagen was not disappointed, in fact, he had expected it, but the things were collected by himself, he had great confidence, and it should not be bad yet.

Then, as the first layer, the second and third layers were peeled off, it was obvious that the inside was getting stronger and stronger, and the eyes, including Qin Shu, were getting brighter and brighter, and the mood was getting better and better.

After all of them were unraveled, the remaining good ones were still more than three zhang long, which was already an unexpected joy, and it was even happier than Qin Ming finding a bowl.

Immediately after that, everyone's hands moved faster, and more things were dug out of the mud in the house, including the two pine boxes that Li married him, although they were completely covered by the mud, they were indeed intact, and the happy Li was simply crying with joy.

The sealing of the box is better, and after opening it, I found a few pieces of clothes that were still completely destroyed, as well as two old quilts, although they looked a little buried, but they could barely be used as a mattress after drying, which was stronger than nothing.

It took him a few days to dig through the mud in his house and find a lot of things.

Li's dowry box, three plates, four bowls, as well as a few pickle jars, small clay pots, although more or less damaged, but did not affect the use, some rusty farm tools, more firewood in the firewood room and damaged furniture, these have not been completely washed away.

The most surprising thing was that the cellar of the house was dug up.

On this point, I have to praise Qin Dagen, even if the time is tight, I didn't forget to tie the cellar mouth with an oilcloth and press a large stone slab and then cover it with a thick layer of soil, in order not to let the cellar mouth be flooded, I didn't expect it to be really useful, although it was inevitably damp, but there was really no water.

This was the happiest thing since the descent, after all, it was too urgent to take all the food from the house, and they couldn't take it away without large livestock.

So the family used as fast as they could, and some of them were hidden in two large vats in the cellar, and like the mouth of the cellar, they were tightly sealed with oilcloth, and the large stones were pressed on the top, and they were pasted with wet earth.

Looking at these grains and seeds that were a little damp but did not become moldy, the Qin family finally felt that there was hope for the future again, and the sorrow on the family's face finally dissipated.

If you have food, you are not afraid of starvation, and if you have seeds, you are not afraid that you will not be able to grow food, plus the wild vegetables they have dried from the mountains these days, and the dried fish that has been salted with the last bit of salt, the days finally have hope.

With food, the family's motivation is greater, the house is cleaned up faster, although the roof is gone, the walls are still intact, and it is not difficult to build a simple roof with a little repair, as long as there is wood.

It took a few more days for the family of five to simply cap the three rooms of the main house with the wood and dry grass collected from the collected wood and good mud embryos.

This scene is not uncommon in Shangqin Village, and the villagers who have come back are trying to find the real thing, digging a place that can be excavated, and building a place for themselves to stay.

After these days, a few more families came back on and off, and then no one returned.

Shangqin Village is not a big village, but it is also a village with dozens of families, but there are less than 20 people who have returned, and some are even alone.

Even if it's just one person, you still have to work hard to survive.

At this moment, it doesn't matter who is in whose house, as long as it is ownerless, the house that is still good is almost occupied by the people who have returned, and after resting, there is finally a shelter from the wind and rain.

Life is difficult, but you have to live.

If you want to survive, you must have food to eat, and it is nothing more than to plant food as soon as possible.

Whether it is the people who have the power and money, or the people who live on wild vegetables, the next most important thing is to grow food.

To grow grain, you must have grain seeds, not everyone is like Qin Dahe, so prescient and well-prepared, but you always have to get grain seeds, so everyone's eyes have to be on the government.

I don't know if it's useful, but I have to go and see it, and maybe I can meet that kind rich man selling grain or something.

So, almost as soon as they settled down, everyone went to the town as if they were negotiating, and those who were close to the city went to the city.
