If you don't farm, you will be smashed [End Times]

The snowflakes are fluttering, and when they first fall, they are just small snow seeds. After a long time, they become heavy snow, covering the sky and covering the sky, and it is white at a glance.

The snow came suddenly. At that time, there were still many people working, rushing to finish the work under the snow, and then immediately started tidying up and storing the objects that could not withstand the rain and snow.

The snow never stopped, only the difference between heavy snow and light snow.

In the first few days, the snow was not thick enough, and people could be arranged to sweep a passable road every day, and there were some things that were left unfinished.For example, a kiln that is burning charcoal has not yet come out of the kiln and cannot be thrown there. The workers have to work for several days under the heavy snow to finish burning the charcoal from this kiln.

Charcoal is also afraid of the tide, and the commonly used small carts for transporting goods are difficult to walk on the snow-covered road. Xia Chen simply approved a pumpkin carriage and pulled all the charcoal to the warehouse for storage. This is the end of the work. .

The snow is getting thicker and thicker. Those who go out to sweep the snow, just shoveled a piece of it with their front feet, turned their heads and covered it with a thick layer of snow. The road cleared the day before could not be found after sleeping.

In this kind of weather, even if you want to do anything, you can't do anything. Xia Chen simply took the winter vacation and suspended all construction activities.

He had predicted that the winter might be cold, so he ordered to burn a lot of charcoal in advance, and sold it in shops at a very low price.

Those families who lived together bought them together and piled them in the corridor by the door. Put a clay pot in the room, and then lit a charcoal fire, and the temperature of the whole room could be warmed by a few degrees.

The charcoal was made by Fang Zi, which Xia Chen got from a charcoal seller. It was smokeless and resistant to burning. Because it was fired in its own kiln, and the raw materials were also taken from the mountain, the cost was reduced, and the price was reduced. The setting is not high, and it is affordable to burn it every day.

Those who live in the single dormitory will buy it together with their roommates. In the more luxurious rooms, put two more charcoal basins and nest them under the quilt. I don’t know how comfortable it is.

The only thing I have to go out is the three meals in the morning, lunch and evening. There is no kitchen in the single dormitory, so I still have to go to the cafeteria to eat.

Fortunately, the cafeteria is very close, and within 5 minutes of walking there, the snow is getting thicker and thicker, and half of the legs are wet when I go out.

There are those who are greedy for cheap, buy some buns and steamed buns, and store them in the house. They don’t go to the cafeteria in the morning and evening, and bake the buns and steamed buns on the charcoal basin. The outer shell is browned and crispy, and the inside is soft.

Those who can eat will also buy some small pickles and put some in the steamed buns, the taste is very good.

Or simply bury a few sweet potatoes in a charcoal basin, bury them when the fire is turned on at night, and pull them out of the charcoal ash in the morning to eat.

This kind of life is so easy, I didn’t dare to think about it before. It’s okay to have a family before the end of the day. Although I still have to work and start a business to make a living, I can at least eat enough and wear warmth.

The original villagers of Qinghe Village and other poor families huddled in their dilapidated houses in winter, and because they did not work, they only ate a small amount of food every day.

Earth embryo house thatched cottage, old or broken, can’t block the wind, shivering in the cold when curled up on the bed, if it rains or snows, it’s even worse, the house is damp and cold, leaking rain and snow, freezing to death There are not a few.

In some poor families, there are not enough cotton-padded clothes and trousers at home, so the children squeeze together on the bed in single clothes. Whoever wants to go to the toilet will wear the cotton-padded clothes and trousers, and take them off when they come back.

When the first thatched hut in the city was crushed, many people went to see it against the snow, especially the original owner, who felt sympathetic to each other. He kept saying Xia Chen's good wishes.

The only ones who worked hard were the chefs in the cafeteria. They were the only ones who didn't have a vacation.

However, the treatment in the cafeteria has always been good. They take care of eating and drinking. There is always a fire in the kitchen, so it will not be too cold when working. In addition, fewer people come to eat, and their work is lighter.

The salary is still paid, and the commute to and from get off work is early every day, and they are only busy at noon. These master chefs all feel that they have picked up a big deal, and none of them is not happy.

But it's not enough to let people stay in the house like this. I don't know how long it will be snowing. Could it be that everyone eats, sleeps and eats in the house?

Xia Chen thought about it for a while, and discussed with several cultural people who usually manage things and Mr. Meng and his wife, and decided to eliminate illiteracy for everyone in winter, and also carry out some other cultural activities to enrich the spiritual life of the city residents. .

The location is set at the cafeteria, which is large, close to the residential area, and convenient.

The class time is set in the middle of the morning, to learn knowledge for a while, just to have lunch in the cafeteria, to have some other recreational activities after eating, and then to study for a while before going home.

In this way, I still run back and forth every day as before, without much snow.

The content of literacy is mainly basic arithmetic and commonly used words. Children who have attended school are not required to come, and those who are originally literate or arithmetic are not required to come. If the elderly over 60 years old are not willing, they are not required to come, but everyone else must participate. literacy.

It was also because of the snow that the notices that were originally posted on the notice boards outside the administrative hall were posted on the downstairs of each resident, and everyone who came and went could see them. Once the neighbors communicated with each other, the news spread.

Although many people were worried that they would not be able to learn it, they had no objection. Xia Chen's prestige had already been established, and the lower class people knew that they would have a good life if they listened to him, and they habitually obeyed decisions.

The teachers are not only Mr. and Mrs. Meng, but all literate people can sign up, and those students who have good academic performance in the first half of the semester can also sign up.

For example, Xue Guangzong, this kid is very good at arithmetic, and he is No. 1 in every exam. He wanted to teach arithmetic and passed.

There is a salary for teaching, and one day's salary for one day's work. Those primary school students are all very excited. Which child has never fantasized about earning money by himself when he was young. If he can earn money, he will be so arrogant, let alone Teach adults to read and write.

However, the selection requirements are too strict. If you don’t study hard at ordinary times, or if you are sloppy in the exams, your grades are not as good as others, so you can only watch your classmates go to work as elementary school teachers to earn wages, and you are almost crying with regret.

Because the teaching content is only simple numbers and common words, even textbooks are not used. All the people who come to class that day will be given a small notebook and a pencil.The notebook is a quarto paper folded and cut to the size of a palm, and it can be sewed with a thick thread. The pencil is only about ten centimeters long, and they are all defective products in mass production.

On the first day of the winter literacy class, everyone came early. From the release of the task, Xia Chen consciously cultivated everyone's awareness of punctuality in various activities after that.

Those who fail to arrive before the stipulated time will not receive the task, those who fail to complete the work on time will not be evaluated for excellence and will not receive prizes, and students who are late for school will be punished...

After a long time, everyone knows the importance of punctuality. Without a clock, it is better to be early than to be late.

Anyway, there is nothing to do in winter, and the literacy class starts late, so I sleep in bed in the morning, wake up leisurely, wash up, and then have breakfast. It’s not too late for a stroll.

If you are hungry, come back earlier, and you can have a hot and fresh breakfast in the cafeteria. If you eat too much baked buns and buns, you will get angry, and a bowl of dumpling noodles with soup. Even if you eat the soup and water, your whole body will be warm Woke up.

When it's time for class, the table is cleaned up and the class begins.

Because there are too many people and the cafeteria is too big, it is simply divided into several sections and divided into several classes to teach together. The content is the same, so I am not afraid of listening to it.

The window where food was originally sold, a nail was nailed on the wall next to it, and a blackboard was hung on it. On the first day, I learned numbers from one to five.

Don't think it's too simple. For people who have been illiterate all their lives, their brains are basically dull. We don't ask them to learn well, but only hope that they can remember what they have learned.

Then select a few people and write their names. The names of rural households are generally simple and close to life. Starting with these characters will not only increase their interest in learning, but also facilitate their understanding.

This is a tentative teaching plan. As for the recreational activities after dinner, Xia Chen tried his best to recall the various games he knew, excluding activities such as poker and mahjong that may cause gambling addiction, and all kinds of board games that require brains. , the last thing left on the paper is table tennis, chess, rope skipping, shuttlecock kicking...

In winter, activities can only be done indoors. The tables in the cafeteria can be moved, which can free up the space for activities, but the space is not too big, so at most two tables can be set up for them to play table tennis and jump rope to keep their bodies warm. Others The sports activities can be held slowly when there is an opportunity in the future.

Chess can be made by oneself, and the carpenters in the village are all free to make a chessboard and carve some chess pieces, a matter of minutes.

Speaking of chess, Xia Chen also thought that backgammon is also good. Go is not easy to learn, but backgammon is easy to learn. The chessboard is made by yourself. After the chess pieces are made of logs, half of them can be dyed.

Rope skipping and shuttlecocks are even easier. These props can be made by yourself. Xia Chen was hesitant to make table tennis balls. He had drawn balls before, but he didn’t have a racket.

In order to draw a racket, he smashed another pile of gold into it, and finally got out some board games, such as Monopoly Werewolf, which made Xia Chen's heart itch.

Before time travel, he was a gamer, he knew how to play and liked to have fun, he was very proficient in these board games and so on, but after traveling through so many years, he almost forgot what his precious game console looked like.

He put away all these game props, and prepared to find a chance to gather a group of people to play games with him and have a good time.

It was also when he was thinking about entertainment activities. Xia Chen thought of comics. If you want comics, you have to have someone who can draw them, and you have to have a story theme.

He has a lot of subjects, he can talk about from Pangu Kaitian to Fengshen Bang, from Journey to the West to Dream of Red Mansions.

There are also people who can draw, his family Zijian can, his junior brother can also, and Yi Shan and a few others can draw. Even he himself can draw two strokes, but the painting is very ordinary. When Mr. studied, Mr. Meng taught.

But it is impossible to rely on hand-painting one by one, so whoever can draw it, so the printing technique should find a way to get it out.

In the Da'an Dynasty, there was no printing technology at this moment, and books were basically copied by hand, and many poor scholars made money by copying books.

Xia Chen knew the general principles of printing, and overall the operation was not very difficult. He wrote and drew in reverse, carved into movable type, and then printed with ink and covered with paper.

Those who can engrave chapters can basically write backwards, or that sentence, his family Zijian can.
