Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

Some women were washing clothes and wild vegetables by a stream not far away.

The men were divided into several groups. Some went to the mountains to cut wood, and some transported the cut wood back to be processed by the men who knew how to work with wood.

A group of half-grown children, all carrying a bamboo basket of pears picked from the pear forest halfway up the mountain, were walking towards the thatched cottage talking and laughing.

The little children were also picking wild vegetables nearby, and some even smaller ones ran to play in the chrysanthemum field. For a while, the busy sounds and laughter brought human fireworks to this quiet valley.

Widow Jia has changed her mind and is now getting along well with the Chen family. The three of them are cooking something with a few women they are friends with. It is probably wild vegetable soup again.

Mrs. Chen, with her back to Li Qingxiu, naturally didn't notice her coming. When Widow Jia across the street saw Li Qingxiu approaching, she quickly scooped a bowl of soup from a small clay pot on another small stove and met Li Qingxiu who had just walked over.

"Come on, come on, this is soup made from fresh pheasant. I simmered it for half an hour, so I drank it while it was hot."

Li Qingxiu took the boiling chicken soup and looked at the very enthusiastic Widow Jia and said, "Auntie, why are you making chicken soup for me again?"

Widow Jia pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "What's the matter? Are you not happy to make chicken soup for you? You are so blessed that you don't know how to be blessed. The other children are watching eagerly."

Why do you get angry when you disagree? Li Qingxiu quickly explained: "No, you always turn on the stove for me. I'm not afraid of tiring you."

When Widow Jia heard this, she smiled again. "I'm your aunt, so I should make chicken soup for you. Look, you've lost weight again."

Li Qingxiu looked down at her figure in confusion. Has she lost weight? Why didn't she feel it?

Finally, under Widow Jia's overly enthusiastic eyes, Li Qingxiu drank the bowl of chicken soup. I have to say that Widow Jia’s craftsmanship is pretty good.

The young and old Chens looked at each other, but there was no dissatisfaction in their eyes, instead they were smiling.

Widow Jia has really changed a lot. She knows how to avoid suspicion when meeting men. She no longer behaves as frivolously as before, but becomes more and more like a warm-hearted sister-in-law next door.

"Pretty girl, it turns out you are here."

When Li Qingxiu turned around, she saw Li Zheng walking over with a smile. "Uncle Li Zheng, I was planning to find you too."

Li Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "What do you want to say first?"

Li Qingxiu said: "I want to build a stone house, so I want to ask the villagers to help me find some stones that can be used to build a house in the mountains, and then help me build the house within a month. Of course, I will also pay you, that is Five bags of rice and two wild boars.”

Li Qingxiu had already thought about it before going to bed last night, and she didn't necessarily have to make the glutinous rice bricks according to the system. One month was not even enough to make bricks, so how could she have time to build a house?

The stone house is built first, and then mortar made of glutinous rice and lime is applied to make the stone house stronger.

At that time, I will buy some bricks, apply a layer of glutinous rice slurry on them and dry them, and then build a wall of glutinous rice bricks in the stone house. This can be regarded as meeting the requirements of the system.

Stone house? ! Li Zheng and a group of women nearby were all enlightened by Li Qingxiu's words. They had never thought of building houses with stones.

There must be a lot of stones in such a large mountain. There are only more than 30 households. It must be enough for each household to build a stone house.

Besides, a stone house is sturdier than a thatched house and more cost-effective than a blue brick house. If it’s not a good deal, it’s just like getting it for free.

Whether it is a red brick or a blue brick, you have to buy it with money. The stone only needs a little effort to be moved down from the mountain.

What? You said you were tired! Hey, why are you not tired? Aren’t you tired from transporting bricks back from Shinshu? There are quite a few hills to go back and forth.

"Li Zheng, my family also wants to build a stone house, but I have never seen this stone house before, and I don't know if it will be difficult to build?"

Li Qingxiu: "Uncle Li Zheng, I..."

"Oh, I've seen stone houses. They are much sturdier than red bricks."

Li Qingxiu: "That..."

"Hey! Really? Then my family will also build a stone house. I have many sons, so I will let them run more trips to the mountain to pick up stones."

Li Qingxiu:......

A group of women gathered around Li Zheng and were discussing building a stone house. Li Qingxiu was completely forgotten. Li Qingxiu opened her mouth several times but was interrupted by their excited discussions.

Widow Jia, who had just put out the stove fire, couldn't stand it anymore. She said loudly: "Oh, why are you so excited? Didn't you see Qingxiu talking to Li Zheng?"

The chattering women then remembered Li Qingxiu. One of the women said with a sarcastic smile, "You guys chat, let's get busy first."

After the women left, Li Qingxiu spoke again: "Uncle Li Zheng, I have one more thing to do. I plan to go to Xinzhou with my uncles later."

Li Zheng thought for a while and said, "That's okay. I came to you originally just to borrow a donkey cart from you. Since you are going to go, bring the donkey cart with you, because it will be more convenient for them to buy food if they have a donkey cart."

Li Qingxiu didn't refuse, so she asked Mrs. Chen to help take care of Li Qingfeng and Li Qingxiao and then went to the donkey shed.

At this time, Da Mao half-squinted his eyes comfortably, because Li Yuhao was using a small brush to clean Da Mao's body.

When Da Mao saw Li Qingxiu coming, he used his donkey's tail to gently sweep aside Li Yuhao who was behind him. Then he walked up to Li Qingxiu and rubbed Li Qingxiu's arm with his big donkey head.

Li Qingxiu patted the big-haired donkey's head. "You really know how to enjoy it. Okay, let's go to Shinshu today."

After hearing this, Da Mao raised his head and barked loudly, then went back to the innermost part of the donkey shed.

Li Qingxiu narrowed her eyes, what does this big hair mean? Don't want to go? Even if you don't want to go, you can't help it.

Li Qingxiu pulled Da Mao out. But Da Mao just didn't want to go back to the donkey shed by himself.

Li Yuhao felt distressed when he saw Da Mao like this and defended him. "Maybe it's because Da Mao is in a bad mood that he doesn't want to go. How about another day?"

Li Qingxiu felt that she had raised an ancestor. She was about to say something when suddenly there was a rumble all around!

She suddenly thought of something and ran out immediately. As soon as she saw it, she saw that in addition to the rumbling sounds of the mountains around the Lihua Valley.

The continuous mountains have changes visible to the naked eye, and many rocks and trees have rolled down from the mountains. But it is also strange that no matter how many huge rocks and trees roll down, they will not fall into the Pear Blossom Valley, but will be stuck deeply between the mountains and the Pear Blossom Valley.

At this time, a gap opened from the inside out at the foot of the mountain on the right side of the Pear Blossom Valley, and there was a roar and crackle on the ground, as if the mouth of an abyss suddenly opened, trying to swallow everything in.

"Oh my God! The earth dragon has turned over! Everyone, run!"

It happened that everyone was in the valley at this time. When they saw the landslide and the ground cracking, they didn't know who shouted "Earth Dragon Turned Over", and they all wanted to run out of the valley to the top of the mountain.
