Apocalyptic Tundra Age

"Useless stuff! I stay away from home every day, my nose is like a dog, and I don't come back until dinner time. What crime have I done? Raising such a worthless guy." Zhu Xi complained with her arms around Xu Ao, and told Chun Chun Xu Ao in his arms: "Don't be like your father!"

Zhu Xi taunted Xu Hui and wanted Xu Hui to become a weapon, but the youngest son wore a mysterious smile, pretending not to hear, and ran away through the back door.

Chattering and complaining that I can't speak because I'm stuck in my stomach, it's more uncomfortable than losing with others, Yu Yu is so angry that she keeps nagging at her throat, "cooking" and "laying dead", the whole small courtyard I got used to listening, so I pretended not to hear, drooping my eyelids and pretending that I was an old deaf man.

Xu Hui walked lightly into the kitchen, while his wife and daughter worked silently.

Tan Huan heard the commotion outside, and knew that her husband was angry, and felt a little relieved, the wicked are even more tormented by the wicked!

She saw Xu Hui walking in the door like a soft bone, without making a sound, only moving his hands harder, and the pottery bowl was clasped on the wooden table, making a "boom", which made people feel hairy.

Xu Hui can be scolded by his old mother, but he must not lose his dignity in front of women, so he cursed in a bad voice and said: "Who is showing a dead face? Crying all day long, I don't need you to cry at the grave! Where is the boiling water?" Xu Minmin, you help me fill the glass, I raised you for nothing, you don’t understand filial piety at all!”

Tan Huan twisted his face: "You are so majestic! When you come back from outside, you will want this and that as soon as you enter the door. We deserve to be servants and be ordered by your whole family."

Talking and complaining, Tan Huan still couldn't force it with Xu Hui, wiped his hands, and filled Xu Hui's big pottery cup like a baby.

"Tan Huan, have you finished your lunch yet! Hurry up! You're going to starve to death." Zhu Yu shouted in the hall.

Xu Hui originally wanted to teach his wife "disrespect" a lesson, but when he heard his old lady's voice, his aura instantly weakened, and he said with a vicious face, "Did you hear that? Hurry up!"

Before the earthquake, Xu Hui's family didn't have any weird rules, but after two snowfalls, there was one more: women don't eat at the table.So Tan Huan and Xu Minmin could only eat in the kitchen.

All the food in the house was packed in a wooden bucket, with a big iron lock on it, and the key was carefully stored in Zhu Mi's cotton-padded jacket against her belly.

This key is a symbol of authority, and Zhu Yu lived up to expectations. A small key used the rules of opening the golden gate of the treasury.

If you open the lock twice a day, you can get enough for one meal. Everyone has a fixed amount of food every day. Zhu Xi is not afraid that the mother and child who are cooking will eat too much. After passing her hands, half of the extra food will be the sun. Strange thing from the north.

Xu Minmin watched anxiously as grandma divided the lunch, each with a potato and a big spoonful of vegetables.The big potatoes were picked out one by one and rolled into other people's rice bowls. Finally, Zhu Mi said, "I took too much today, you little bastard is lucky!"

A palm-sized potato was placed in Xu Minmin's wooden bowl, along with half a spoonful of residual soup and two cabbage leaves.

The hand covered with calluses and age spots went into her mother's small bowl. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of her brother eating a big mouthful of potatoes, chewing and frowning and spit it on the table.

"Woman, this is tasteless, I want to eat the one with sugar!"

While sharing the lunch, Zhu Xi grinned and said, "Put sugar? If you like it, you will eat it if you are starving to death!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this!

Xu Ao pushed the bowl, fell down and rolled on the ground, the potato with missing corner on the table whirled and rolled in front of Xu Minmin...

Xu Minmin: You may not believe it when you say it, but this thing really came here by yourself...

Looking at Xu Ao, who was yelling at the attention of everyone in the room, Xu Minmin used the cover of his clothes to ruthlessly smash a piece of potato meat with chopsticks—to be on the safe side, she started from the place where Xu Ao had bitten.

After finishing what she wanted to eat, Xu Minmin smashed the half-remained potato on the ground, and the lump stuck to the ground, just right at Zhu Xi's feet.

——Xu Minmin sneered in her heart: It's better to wait until the old thing steps on her, and I feel so sorry for her!

After committing the crime, she covered the wooden bowl and retreated to the kitchen.Two big gulps ate Xu Ao's lunch, choking her so much that she rolled her eyes.

Xu Minmin split half of the small potato, wrapped it in dead leaves and stuffed it into his inner pocket. It might be tomorrow's breakfast.

In the hall, Xu Ao's crying stopped, and Zhu Xie jingled the key again to go to the side of the carriage. Xu Minmin huddled on the stool, ate potatoes, and listened with ears straight.

Ding lang ding lang—grandma is here.

Zhu Xi walked into the kitchen with the key jingling, saw Xu Minmin holding the bowl, thought of the half potato just now, and felt extremely unhappy.

She pulled her face and covered her head and face: "Your brother is crying like that, and you just squat here to eat? What's the use of my sister not taking care of my brother? White-eyed wolf! Hurry up and start the fire, don't eat at night, waste my food !"

Xu Minmin scolded Xu Ao and this ghost woman ten thousand times in her heart, her face was expressionless, she sat under the stove with her bowl in her arms, and started to light the fire without saying a word.

The flames overflowing from the boiler scorched the down of her face, and the intoxicating smell of food overhead.

None of this has anything to do with her.

Zhu Xi took one of the cooked potatoes, crushed it finely with a spoon, sprinkled a spoonful of sugar on it cherishedly, and said before leaving:

"Put away what's in the pot, little hoof, you can't control your mouth. If I find out that you've been stealing food, I'll pack you up and give you to Xu Zhiping as a concubine!"

Xu Minmin got angry when he heard this, and tried to hold back his silence.When the person left, he lifted the lid of the pot, and there were four potatoes in the pot—six people in the family.

The dead woman did what she said, and she didn't have her own and her mother's share tonight.

The mashed potatoes with sugar filled the hall happily, but Xu Minmin, who was lighting the fire, just wanted to kill people.

The previous ten years of education, the characters in the textbooks, and her self-esteem made Xu Minmin's patience limited. No matter how many beatings she had suffered in the past six months, she could not force herself to accept this terrible life.

Xu Minmin squatted under the stove for the whole afternoon, deliberating and making up her mind.

This place... except for mom, no one is good!

No matter how magnificent the rural love story is, Xu Zhonglei's small carpenter's workshop did not stop working. The three-meter-high waterwheel was ground down one by one, and finally it was time to assemble it.

In fact, it was Xiao Cheng who was rolling around, saying that he never expected that the people in the village ate so much, and the rice consumption at home was about the same. Determined to look good.

The loose parts of the waterwheel were assembled like Lego toys. The fun of the big toys fascinated the men present. They hammered the nails carefully one by one, which was more exciting than Xu Zhonglei's bright words.

"Can it work?" Cheng Yuming whispered to Xu Zhonglei on behalf of a small group of anxious people. He knew that Shitou had paid too much for this car, so before the last moment, his heart was hanging in his throat.

Xu Zhonglei patted the back of Xiao Cheng's hand, and said to himself, "No problem."

"Chief engineer! Shitou! You two don't whisper, come here!" Xu Zhiping yelled with a blushing face.

Xu Zhonglei took a look, hey, it's quite ritualistic!

A faded floral cloth was draped on the waterwheel, and a red ribbon hung down. Xu Zhiping pulled the ribbon and stuffed it into Xu Zhonglei's hand, while familiar and unfamiliar villagers all looked at him with smiles.

Xu Cheng waved his little hand and said, "Dad, come!"

Needless to say, Xu Zhonglei has experienced the joy of the chief engineers' dedication.

Xu Zhonglei pulled the red belt and uncovered the floral cloth, and the fishing waterwheel gradually showed its whole picture.

"Wow——" Xu Ao couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise.

"It's so big! It's so beautiful!"

……

All of a sudden, the villagers were full of praise.

During the production process of more than a month, the villagers just mechanically planed wood and chiseled mortise and tenon parts, and had no idea about the big toy that was about to be born in their hands.

Such a big toy appeared directly in front of everyone, even Uncle Tie, who assembled it by himself, couldn't take his eyes off it.

Among other things, this thing is really big!

"Let's make the waterwheel move!" Xu Zhonglei laughed loudly.Standing on tiptoe, he pushed the bucket vigorously, and the clumsy waterwheel turned slowly, bringing a gust of cold wind, which blew Xu Zhonglei's hair into a mess.

The new way of playing immediately attracted everyone's attention, so when you touch me, the barbed wire body will start spinning dryly.

"Shitou, are you still coming to work tomorrow?" Mistress Yu hunched over and asked Xu Zhonglei aside.

Xu Zhonglei said loudly on purpose: "You have been busy for more than a month, you should have a good rest long ago, the waterwheel is built, how can you hold on to people? It's cold, so you can enjoy your grandson in your arms!"

"Hey -- Shitou, that's enough? Do we need to be more detailed, it's all the labor of the villagers..."

Xu Zhonglei spread his hands and smiled: "I still want to do it for a few more days, but the landlord's family has no food left. If you are always willing to come and help for a few days, that's a good relationship! It's just that our family doesn't care about food."

Madam Yu was bored and walked away in despair.

Xu Zhonglei saw off several groups of people while watching the bustle and bustle at the waterwheel.

The villagers walked round and round around the waterwheel they made, and finally got over their interest.Xu Zhonglei waved his hands and shouted: "Demolition!" - very much like the director of the demolition office of a village in a first-tier city.

"This thing is just for you to see. It has to be in the water to be really useful. Let's dismantle it and put it on the riverside. After the snow melts, the bucket will be full of fish! Let's eat three meals a day, Eat one and lose one!" Xu Zhonglei's ability to draw big cakes is first-rate.

"Eat fish, eat fish, stones, don't waste food—"

Thinking of this wonderful prospect, everyone began to discuss how to eat fish, and even Xu Zhonglei began to miss the taste of pickled fish.
