???? The couple brought out their own horses and walked them two by one.

???? There are still a lot of people walking horses in winter. Everyone is chatting and laughing, which means a party, but they just go out for a walk when the sun is good in the morning.

???? After walking around, a new batch of horses came out for a stroll.

???? We will take a walk at noon.

???? Tie Qing's family also eats two meals, but they have a meal of mutton soup for lunch.

???? With some shortbread and congee, it can also fill your stomach.

???? But at this time, Xinghua's sister-in-law will fry bean buns and rice cakes for everyone to eat.

???? Tiesheng loves to eat fried bean buns, and Brother Xiao loves to eat rice cakes and pancakes. These two are considered to be together, and they both love to eat sticky things.

????But this uses soybean oil, not meat oil.

???? I drank mutton soup at noon, ate some rice cakes, and went out for activities again. Because I had eaten at noon, I had to feed the chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and pigs, and clean the shed.

???? Then there are horse feeding, drinking water and so on.

???? After this busy work, we have to burn the kang and the fire wall, because it will be dark at this time, and at the same time as the dinner is being prepared, it has to be heated, and the dinner will be warmed up after dinner.

???? After dinner, clean up and clean up before going to bed.

???? Tie Qing got up in the middle of the night and still needs to burn the stove. Today, the father-in-law and his wife are not at home, so he doesn't have to go to the east courtyard to burn the stove.

???? When I wake up the next morning, I have to start working again. In fact, even though the farmhouse is idle in winter, there are actually all kinds of trivial tasks.

????Especially in ancient times, there were a lot of poultry and livestock to be raised, so it was even more busy all day long.

???? Lao Xiao and Tie Li came back after seven days. Aunt Xiao was a bit haggard, but Boss Xiao was fine. Tieli sent the two elders back to the east courtyard, only to find that the two elders entered the house. Not to mention hot, even the water for washing is hot, and the tin kettle is sitting on the stove!

????The kang is hot, the flue wall is also hot, not to mention the washing water is hot, just came back, brother Xiao came in with a hot teapot: "Is everything over?"

???? "It's over." Old Aunt Xiao felt much better when she saw Brother Xiao: "How are you doing at home these days? Are you okay?"

???? "It's okay, mother, wash your face, soak your feet in hot water for a while, and in the evening, we will eat stewed tofu with old meat." Brother Xiao said: "Sanggong just bought water tofu today."

???? "Yeah." Old Aunt Xiao washed her face, "You guys knew we were coming back, didn't you? The house is so hot."

???? "I don't know, Xianggong burns it twice a day. It can't be said that people are deserted. If you don't light the fire again, you won't even have any heat." Xiao Geer wet a towel for himself to wipe Wipe your hands: "Have some mutton soup later? Have stewed Sibai at night."

???? "Stewed Sibai?" Old Aunt Xiao thought that Tie Qing was taking care of her mother's funeral, so she didn't even eat meat: "Don't be so troublesome, you should eat and drink, they are all my juniors, You don't need to be filial or anything."

???? "No, mother, you're thinking too much." Brother Xiao said calmly: "The stewed four whites are what my husband said, that is, white meat, cabbage, white radish and white tofu."

???? It has nothing to do with whether you eat meat or not.

????Old Aunt Xiao was stunned!

???? Sure enough, at noon, the old couple drank mutton soup and ate Luguoer.

???? Boiled porridge at night, made stewed Sibai, and cut spiced mutton.

Brother Xiao was worried at first that his mother's appetite was not good, but Aunt Xiao ate a bowl of thick porridge, half a plate of stewed four whites, and several slices of spiced mutton.

???? Lying under the quilt at night, Brother Xiao said to Tie Qing: "My husband, I saw, mother is not sad at all, she also said that our family should eat and drink, there is no need to be taboo."

???? "Mum, it's fine as long as it looks good." Tie Qing didn't have any opinion on this either.

???? The wind and snow in the winter month are already heavy, and when it entered the twelfth lunar month, it started to be cloudy on the second day of the twelfth lunar month. The sky was cloudy like evening, and the light was limited.

????Old Wei village chief notified them from door to door to prevent snow disasters.

???? Fortunately, the weather has been good for the past two years, and every household has some surplus food, plus firewood, salt, and winter vegetables from each family, so at least they can't freeze to death or starve to death.

????Old Chief Xiao accompanied Old Village Chief Wei to inspect the big brooms and wooden shovels in every household. When the time comes, they must be used to shovel snow.

????The shovel is heavy, but the wooden shovel is lighter.

???? There is also the wall at the head of the village.

???? At noon, the old head Xiao pulled the old village chief Wei to come to drink sheep soup, and sat on the kang to drink soup, and the two old men were still discussing.

???? "Other things are easy to talk about, and the firewood is enough, but I am afraid that the wall in the village is not strong enough." The old village head Wei did not forget to worry about the safety of the village while drinking mutton soup: "This year the wind and snow are so heavy , the beasts in the mountains are not quiet either."

???? There are not only wild wolves, but also wild boars and wild bears in the mountains.

???? Although there have been no wild bears in their village for many years, there are indeed wild bears in the deep mountains. Why are there no wild bears in the western mountains?

???? There are many tigers, leopards, wolves and bears.

???? When they were young, they actually saw a tiger descending the mountain once, and a blind bear descending the mountain twice.

????Three times the big beast went down the mountain, not to mention many domestic animals in the village, and more than [-] people also died in the mouth of the wild beast.

???? "We've already built the fence this year." In autumn, the one who built the fence, Old Xiao, didn't go, but Tie Qing went, and Tie Qing hired people to build the fences of the three families. It's the old Xiao's house, and the other is Aunt Xiao's house.

????Set up a female household, it is a family.

???? So a section of the village wall was also allocated to Aunt Xiao, and Tie Qing also took care of it.

???? Because Aunt Xiao is a female householder, she doesn't have any forced labor. This year's labor was bought by Mr. Xiao and himself.

???? "It may not be able to stop it even if it is repaired!" Old village chief Wei was worried: "Who made our village the closest to Xishan."

???? Other villages do not have this worry because they are far away from Xishan.

???? But because of the remoteness of this place, they were less affected by the war.

???? Otherwise, life will be even more difficult.

???? Tie Qing happened to bring a plate of spiced mutton to the two of them. Hearing this, he thought for a while and suggested, "Don't we still have a lot of snow here? Why don't we go around the ditch outside the village wall, Surrounded by a wall made of ice and snow?"

???? Back then, after the end of the world, the weather was also unpredictable. The largest survival base in the north, the base in the three provinces, because of the geographical relationship, their place became a place of perennial ice and snow. Based on the materials collected, an ice and snow defense line was established.

???? And it was built very solidly, it has survived the end of the world, and it is very worth learning.

???? It's not the end of the world, but there are beasts!

???? Funerals are basically the same as beasts.

???? That's why Tie Qing brought up this matter, hoping to use ice as bricks and snow as mud.

????Old boss Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard it: "This method is not bad!"

????Old Village Chief Wei also thought it was good: "Just build a snow wall, and it's very convenient."

????The Northeast lacks everything except ice and snow.
