The Tight Embrace of the End Times

It snowed heavily for three days and three nights. Gu Leng was lying on the bed in the shed, with his arms pillowed on his head, listening quietly to the sound of falling snow, the sound of snow melting, and the sound of snow water gurgling along the slope of the shed. to peace of mind.

On days when no one disturbs you, in such a peaceful snowy day, Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao didn't waste a single bit of time to practice. Soon, they will leave Gu's Village and this small town to dry salt. They will have more strength. , An extra guarantee, this kind of guarantee is not only for Xiao Qiao and Gu Leng, but also for their teammates. Yes, Gu Leng regards the people who go to the salt drying together as teammates, and work together to help each other.

Three days later, the snow stopped, and as far as he could see, there was a vast expanse of whiteness. Gu Leng took a rough look and found that the snow was thick to Gu Leng's waist. Now people were trapped in the greenhouse by the thick snow.

Since each family has been busy installing load-bearing columns for the greenhouse three days ago, all the cats are in their own greenhouses after work.

Gu Leng observed carefully during these three days, and he did not see the shed collapsed, nor did he see anyone crying in the villagers. It can be seen that the blizzard has temporarily passed. In other words, the only person injured in this blizzard was Aunt Xue, or he did not Be careful of the injured, Gujiacun was completely preserved in this blizzard.

Gu Leng was relieved a lot, thinking to himself, luckily it wasn't a hailstorm, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

The weather is so cold that it is impossible to wait for the snow to melt naturally. The villagers have swept the snow away from their greenhouses, and some people who usually walk closer have dug a passage in the snow. Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao are also there. I went to Gu Hai’s house and Yuan Yushu’s house to dig a snow trail. In the end, Gu Leng suddenly discovered that because of the daily close connections among the villagers, you dug a path leading to this house, and he dug a path leading to that house. , The road between the greenhouse and the greenhouse was dug through.

The naughty and cute children are playing with snowmen near their greenhouses. They are not yet at the age of worrying about their livelihood. Although they look sensible, they still maintain the innocence of children.

The adults estimate that the crops in the greenhouse will be harvested in half a month, which means, that means, the summer with high temperature and water shortage is coming.

Seeing the thick snow, the villagers began to move their minds, and many villagers began to stockpile snow water.

No matter how big or small the containers are at home, they are filled with snow, transported back to their own house (not a greenhouse), and hoarded. They are all thirsty and frightened by the days of water shortage, so start preparing from now on.

The Yuan family will definitely store snow. Compared with the locals, their living experience in the Gujia Village in the countryside is scarce, so they will pay attention to what the people of the Gujia Village do, and take the best of it.

Gu Leng actually guessed that someone from the Yuan family would come to him in the next few days, and for two reasons.Sure enough, Yuan Yushu found Gu Leng directly, and brought Gu Leng a few tomatoes. Although Gu Leng had no shortage of vegetables, he knew that Yuan Yushu must be asking for something, so he silently accepted it.

Yuan Yushu said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Leng, I heard people in the village say that summer is not suitable for living in a greenhouse..."

Gu Leng directly interrupted Yuan Yushu: "There is a large room on the first floor of my small building, and there is a utility room in the old house, which can be used to live in, but the villagers thought it was too hot in summer, so they dug holes in their yards. , if you want to follow suit, you can also, I have a solar generator here for Dad to use, as for how to live, you can figure it out." Gu Leng is such a straightforward person, besides, the relatives who come here are all Those who live in the villagers' homes will provide the Yuan family with a place to live, and help them to the end. No one builds a house these days.

Yuan Yushu bowed solemnly to the end, and left with gratitude for a long time.

In the afternoon, after discussions between the old and the young of the Yuan family, the Yuan family decided to live together on the first floor of the Gu family's small building, which can be divided into two rooms, the women live inside and the men live outside.Living together also has a care.

The reason why Gu Leng considered giving the Yuan family a solar generator was because of filial piety, he couldn't keep himself cool, and the Yuanqing River must be in dire straits.Secondly, Gu Leng is sure that Qin Yufang knows that Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao's room is cooled by a solar generator, so she will definitely try to get her children to come and stay in Gu Leng's room. I'm going to be bored to death.Furthermore, Gu Leng's solar generator can't just keep the ashes on it all the time, it's a good place to use it for those close to him.

Gu Leng originally thought that Yuan Yushu needed a water storage container, but he didn't mention it, and Gu Leng didn't ask.

Later, Yuan Yushu came to ask Gu Leng for the key to the Gu family's small building. Gu Leng was puzzled, it was not time to move back to the house, and after asking, he found out that the Yuan family moved here without bringing any Things, and there is no water storage container, so they thought of a way to seal a corner of the house with bricks and smear yellow mud to make a natural water storage container.

The houses in the village were all bought and built by themselves. Almost every household had some leftover bricks piled up at the door. Yuan Yushu went to ask Gu Hai’s father, Uncle Gu, for advice. Gu Leng took the key.

Yuan Yushu said with a smile: "I remembered that there was a pile of blue bricks in front of your house, and I wondered if I could use blue bricks to build a water storage tank, but there were too few green bricks, and I remembered that the rooms in the farmhouse were all cement floors or floor tiles. Can’t seep in, as long as you choose a corner and seal one side, can you use it as a water storage tank? I asked Uncle Gu, and Uncle Gu also said it was feasible, so I’m going to implement it.”

After a pause, he said to Gu Leng again: "I went to the village chief about this matter, and the village chief should notify every house. At that time, everyone will build a water storage pool by themselves to store the existing snow water. In summer, there is a shortage of water. The situation should be improved a lot, Xiao Leng, I will build one upstairs for you, so you can store more water."

Gu Leng did not refuse, accepted Yuan Yushu's kindness with a smile, and handed the key to Yuan Yushu.

Next, Qixin in the village dug another snow road leading to the village, and each of them dug a snow road leading to their own houses.Busy in full swing.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao helped Yuan Yushu carry the bricks into the room on the right on the first floor of the small building.

On the left side of the small building is the room of Grandpa Gu Leng when he was alive. Gu Leng would not let anyone use it. Behind the room of Grandpa Gu Leng is the stairs, and behind it is the bathroom.There is an entire room on the right side of the small building, so it looks very big, and it is enough to separate it.

After consideration, Yuan Yushu chose the corner of the room on the same line as the door. There are no windows inside to minimize direct sunlight and water evaporation.

The whole family of the Yuan family came and wiped the corners and walls carefully. After wiping, they pasted waterproof plastic bags on the ground and walls. Hey, under such conditions, we can only use what we have at hand to the maximum. Once the materials are ready, measure the length and build an equilateral triangle water storage tank.

Green bricks are laid layer by layer. If there is no cement, sticky yellow mud is used to paste the gaps. Wait for natural air drying or if you can’t wait, you can carefully dry it with fire, so a simple water storage tank is built.

When the Yuan family was busy in the room on the right, Gu Leng pulled Xiao Qiao and gently opened the door of Grandpa's room. Everything in the room was as it was before Grandpa was alive, except that he hadn't come in for a while, and there was a layer of dust in the room.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao rolled up their sleeves, wiped the inside and out of the room, cleaned the room, and finally respectfully put three sticks of incense on the grandfather.

When he turned around, he saw Yuan Qinghe standing at the door hesitantly, wanting to enter but not daring to enter.

Gu Leng looked at Yuan Qinghe for a while, that's all, then smiled and said to Yuan Qinghe: "Come in." Then handed Yuan Qinghe three sticks of incense, Yuan Qinghe looked at Gu Leng gratefully, and walked seriously to the photo of his grandfather , Kowtowed 3 heads.

The past is like smoke, and those who are alive must live seriously and live in the present.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao did not build the water storage tank upstairs, but built it in the lobby downstairs, separated from Yuan's water storage tank by a wall.Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao cleaned the ground and walls carefully, and then moved the remaining blue bricks to the lobby, leaving the rest to Yuan Yushu.

Gu Leng and the two of them were going to carry wooden buckets to bring back a few buckets of snow outside the door.Gu Leng thought for a while, and carried two red water buckets and a large red rice bucket from upstairs and put them in Yuan's room.

There is also a big rice tank upstairs in Gu Leng, as well as a few exquisite small wooden barrels, which were added when he was with his grandfather. There are also many large empty water bottles in Gu Leng's space, enough for up.

Gu Leng was busy cleaning the rice vat, Xiao Qiao went to pack snow and filled several wooden barrels, before Gu Leng cleaned the rice vat, Xiao Qiao came to clean the rice vat together.

Xiao Qiao jumped into the rice vat, wiped it quickly with the snow she just brought up, jumped out again, lifted the rice vat to pour out the dirty water, and repeated several times, the rice vat was clean and smooth.Gu Leng was dumbfounded, Xiao Qiao is really good at housework.

The two filled the rice tank with snow, and the water storage tank in the lobby below was almost built. After the water storage tank was built, let it dry for a few days and dry it with fire before it could be filled with snow water.

Gu Leng left Xiao Qiao watching to help, and ran to the shed by himself to bring a jug full of lemonade for everyone to drink.

In the evening, it was Xiao Qiao who was still cooking. Who told him that he was good at cooking? Gu Leng told Xiao Qiao not to make soup. Xiao Qiao thought about it and made scrambled eggs with tomatoes. There is a shredded sweet potato, Gu Leng likes to eat sweet, and a spicy chicken, three dishes are enough for two people.

The reason why Gu Leng refused to let Xiao Qiao make the soup was because he was going to cook the soup himself, carefully wipe off the top layer of snow, choose the cleanest and most delicate snow in the middle layer, put it into a small pot, boil it on the stove, and then put it into a small pot. Take two pears, hollow out the core, leaving only the pear flesh, fill it with rock sugar, put it in a small pot and boil it slowly, isn't this more worthy of the name "Rock Sugar Sydney"?Haha, Gu Leng thought about it and laughed heartily.

In other words, in the cold winter, drinking a glass of Sydney with rock sugar is really a great enjoyment.
