As the day approached, the team stopped in a spacious place, backed by a dirt slope that sheltered the cool breeze of the night, and not far away, there was a well that had not dried up, and there were some trees around, so it was convenient to collect firewood.

As soon as they stopped and let out that breath, many people collapsed directly on the ground and didn't want to get up anymore.

At the end of this day, not only is the body tired, but the heart is even more tired, what they see and hear, for them, it is tantamount to a blow like remodeling, if they don't grit their teeth to support them, they would have been unable to drag their legs.

Seeing this, Village Chief Xu shouted at the top of his voice, "Insist on persevering, while it's still dark, hurry up and do the work that needs to be done, otherwise let your daughter-in-law and children sleep in the open air at night?" ”

"Cheer up, the party will rest again, the firewood should be collected, the cooking should be cooked, if you don't want to blow the cold wind at night, just set up a shed and come out, try to get together as much as possible, and it is safe to resist the wind."

"The mule and the ox are all tethered, don't let it run, you can't hurt people, you have to take care of the child, this wilderness, if you lose it, there is nowhere to find it."

"Also, at night, there are two people in each of our families, and they will take turns to stay overnight in the upper half and the second half of the night, otherwise if you lose something at home, don't blame others."

Hearing this, even if everyone was so tired that they didn't even want to speak, they still endured their exhaustion, dragged their sore and weak legs, and went to work.

Taking the family as a unit, collecting firewood for cooking and building a shed, the division of labor is clear, but it is also orderly and similar.

Village Chief Xu looked at all this, nodded with satisfaction, and reminded loudly, "Pick up as much firewood as possible, you have to keep burning it at night, otherwise it will be troublesome if you catch a cold. If you tie the shed, you must be careful, try to be firm, but don't sleep until a gust of wind blows down in the middle of the night, when you sleep, spread a few more layers of grass mats on the ground, otherwise the humidity will be heavy, and you will remember it the next day......"

He babbled and tirelessly instructed.

In the distance, Gu Huanxi was walking around with his daughter as usual, relieving the discomfort of sitting in the car, seeing this, his impression of Village Chief Xu had changed a little, no matter how careful he was, just rushing to him in his position and seeking his own government made people respect, at least, more responsible than those officials and men in Tongxian and Qingzhou City Yamen.

This is the blessing of the villagers of the Xu family, and it is also the luck of their family.

Otherwise, if you cross over and put an unreliable direct leader, how aggrieved will it be?

After finding a corner where no one was around, she flashed into the RV, solved the physiological problem, and supplemented the nutrition, before holding her daughter and returning to her own camp in a hurry.

Xu Huaiyi was cooking porridge, the pot was already bubbling, he was holding a spoon, stirring it for a while, and on the small table next to him, there were two small plates of pickles, a plate of pot cakes cut into large pieces, and a small jar of meat sauce.

Seeing his daughter-in-law sitting down, he leaned over and whispered, "It's too complicated to eat well on the road, so let's have dinner, let's still have millet porridge with pickles, and then put the pot cake on the fire and bake it, and smear some meat sauce on it, it's delicious and satisfying your hunger, do you think it's okay?" ”

Song Hongguo said "um", swept around, and found that every household was boiling porridge, and there were people fiddling with the pot of mulberry leaf tofu, which was probably to be stewed and eaten.

In this comparison, the so-called simple meal of their family also seems to be very rich.

Sure enough, when others saw their family, in addition to gruel, anti-hunger dry food and fragrant meat sauce, their eyes became subtle, and they lived a good life......

I can't think about it, and the more I think about it, the more acid water bubbles up in my stomach.

I thought that this would already make them envious and jealous enough, but I didn't expect that after the meal, there would be more violent crit.

I saw Xu Huaiyi move out of a small stove, light a few pieces of charcoal and put it in, then put an iron grate on it, squatted on a stoneware jar with a long handle, pinched some tea leaves and fried them for a while, poured hot water, and while boiling tea, there were chestnuts, walnuts and red dates roasted in the spare space next to it, and soon, the aroma of red dates mixed with the fragrance of tea wafted out, the heat curled, the firelight jumped, and the lonely wilderness was dyed with a bit of warm artistic conception.

Xu Huaiyi leaned comfortably on the recliner, which was moved out of the car, folding, outdoor-exclusive, wooden structure, and was not abrupt when placed on the bright surface.

There are two of them, of course, he and his daughter-in-law occupy them.

At this time, the sky has darkened, the stars are twinkling, blowing a small cool breeze, drinking tea with the fragrance of dates, peeling a few chestnuts and walnuts, the two children play together, and do not disturb them, the little couple experienced the happiness of camping in the previous life.

It's just that this happiness is really uncommon, and the other villagers only have a sour share, which is an escape from the famine, this is obviously to suffer, right? Everyone else is tired and half-dead, miserable and miserable, but these two people are in a leisurely and comfortable play mode, so they have to arrange a maid to serve them.

Can't compare, can't compare, the more heartache it is, it's better to sleep.

After drinking most of the pot of tea, Gu Huanxi also urged Xu Huaiyi to go to sleep in the car, "You go to sleep first, I'll be worth the middle of the night, you can get up for me from time to time." ”

Xu Huaiyi refused without thinking about it, "How can I let you be on duty at night, you go to sleep, I can bear it." ”

Gu Huanxi glared at him, "The days ahead are still long, can you still resist so hard?" Besides, why can't I be on duty all night? I'm not as good as you, but it's enough to deal with ordinary people. ”

That's right, she learned self-defense techniques with him in her previous life, and they are all very practical tricks against the enemy, and she can't afford to deal with an ordinary person, and she still has weapons, so there is nothing to worry about.

Xu Huaiyi still shook his head, Gu Huanxi had to whisper, "You don't know, I don't sleep well, I can't sleep when I lie down anyway, it's better to be on duty for you, when you have rested enough, I'll go to sleep again, and I can make up for sleep at any time on the way, are you still afraid that I won't sleep enough?" Alright, go ahead, stop the ink. ”

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi wiped his face and went to sleep in the car with his daughter in his arms.

Gu Huanxi also urged Gu Xiaoyu to go to sleep in the car.

Gu Xiaoyu shook his head, "I slept too much in the afternoon, I really don't feel sleepy, my son wants to read a book for a while." ”

Gu Huanxi said, "The light is not good, reading in this environment hurts your eyes too much, why don't we play chess?" ”

When Gu Xiaoyu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't wait to nod his head, he hadn't played against his mother yet, playing chess with his father, it was not interesting to win.

The two of them are still playing chess, and soon, you come and go, and they fall into a tense fight, the nervous person is Gu Xiaoyu, every step has to be considered again and again, on the other hand, Gu Huanxi, his expression is much more relaxed, and he still has leisure time to drink tea and eat chestnuts, and look around uncomfortably to see if there is any suspicious situation.

At this moment, except for the people who were selected to be on duty for the night, the other villagers all lay down in the makeshift sheds and fell asleep, and the sound of snorting came and went, covering up the sound of crickets in the grass, the sound of the wind, and the crackling of burning firewood.
