When the two oil lamps were lit, the whole basement could be seen at a glance. In the front half of the land, there are four rows of shelves facing the roof from the wall, and one person can get in between them. If things need to be dried in the shade, you only need a bamboo pole in the middle.

In the remaining open space, there are two large grain urns and three large wooden boxes on the left hand side; two large rectangular water tanks are attached to the wall on the right hand side.

Zhou Jiao originally planned to put ice cubes to lower the indoor temperature, but after thinking about it, it is winter here almost half of the year, so it is not necessary. Just leave it for her mother-in-law to play casually.

Father Zhang couldn't put it down, he touched the shelf, touched the four walls, and found that the walls were still mixed with cement, the corners of his mouth twitched. This pair of prodigals is really willing to spend money!

Daddy, how are you doing?

It's almost paved with gold bricks, can't you?

Zhang Guoqing smiled, As long as you like it. The cement didn't go through my godfather. I exchanged it with someone from the provincial capital, and it didn't cost much.

Father Zhang smiled and shook his head. With a hunting skill, this brat took advantage of it. But he was wrong, what kind of material is cement today?

With some wild, who dares to take risks! These were sneaked back by his young couple from a neighboring province. Spend a woolen barter.

Father, these big vats were moved in before, and now there is no way. Shall I prepare some sacks for you?

Father Zhang shook his head, So many shelves are enough for storage, how much can your mother and I use? Don't buy things on the black market in the future. It's not safe to say that it's expensive. The things you prepared a few years ago are still there, there are too many We can't run out. Some things have to be moved here while you pack up at home.

Okay, I'll listen to you.

Father Zhang knew that his old son couldn't understand what he said, so he didn't say anything after thinking about it, and just let his wife pack it up later and take it back to the child.

I'll go back to the village with my dad at night and move all those things over here, so I can really sleep in peace in the future.

Zhang Guoqing nodded, Okay. Anyway, there is a car, so don't worry about being late.

Go, go up and eat something first, your mother should be in a hurry later.

Father Zhang turned his waving hand five times with great interest. Seeing the hole above opened, he thought to himself that he would bring his wife over to have a look when there was no one else. It was really interesting!

Zhang Guoqing reminded: Father, if this mechanism fails, you will be locked in and cannot get out. Look here, this is the main switch, you keep pulling the iron chain, and when you pull it to the end, you go to the big one on the top. Push it on the stone slab three more times. It will recover again. I tried several times with Jiaojiao.

He had to mention this, otherwise the day when the parents were locked inside, the fun would be over.

It's okay, I usually come in, I just don't move the one inside and wave my hand.

This is also a way, Zhang Guoqing nodded, watched him go up the steps, and extinguished two oil lamps.

Zhang Guoqing had eaten noodles, and Zhang's father, who locked the courtyard door, immediately asked his wife to unlock it.

A family of three stood in the basement of the kitchen, Zhang Guoqing couldn't laugh or cry. He looked around and found that his parents hadn't used much for more than half a year.

Mom, you usually eat more, these things are easy to spoil after a long time. Especially don't think about sending these meats to me, I plan to get up early tomorrow morning to buy more things to save for you and my father to supplement nutrition .”

What nonsense. The city only relies on that little meat, which is not enough to fit between your teeth. You can take it back after you beat it. If it wasn't embarrassing for Xiaomi to keep things, mother would have asked her to bring them to you.

Zhang Guoqing has a deep understanding of this. Especially now that he has moved and is farther away from the station, he feels a little ashamed every time such an older girl sends a bus with a big bag.

Oh, you said send a package? There's nothing he can do, it's no wonder his mother is willing to spend that money!

Mother, there are mountains in the capital, so I can get game. Besides, Aunt Qian can also buy eggs, and the price is not expensive. It's not a shame.

Taking advantage of no one, Zhang Guoqing pulled the trolley from the yard to the kitchen door, moved things from the cellar into the trolley, and covered it with broken sacks of firewood.

After a while, only a small amount of spare supplies were left in the kitchen cellar, and Zhang Guoqing began to toss the new basement.

Like Zhang's father, Zhang's mother never thought that there is such a big cellar under the vegetable field. I will never worry about hiding things anymore.

Mom, I'll go buy some ice later. Have you seen these two big water tanks? It's no problem to store three to five hundred catties of meat. Let's eat fresh meat instead of bacon. I'll see you It’s hard work, pickling and drying, and you have to prevent outsiders from coming to see you.”

This time I will prepare more good ingredients for cooking in winter. When the cat is winter, you and my father should not go out, make more dumplings and these noodles for supper; usually, if you don't want to move, just eat a handful of vermicelli. Come to a hot pot and drink ginseng wine, this day will be comfortable.

Mother Zhang laughed at what he said.

Father, Jiaojiao and I have saved a lot of things in the backyard of our hometown. We were worried that we would not be able to come back this year, so we planned to tell you and my mother later, and bring them here together at night.

Take it back. See for yourself, so many things, can your mother and I use them up?

Zhang Guoqing smiled and looked at the basement. There is no need to worry about people outside the wall when you have something to say here, you can speak freely. He hesitated for a moment, but still said: Father, the situation this time is not optimistic. If I guess correctly, it won't take long, and there will be chaos soon.

From the joy of the old son's return, Father Zhang woke up immediately when he heard it. It would only be more serious for the child to say that. He subconsciously touched his side again and found that the pipe was not with him.

Tell dad about it.

Zhang Guoqing patted the nervous mother comfortingly, and smiled, It's okay, mother, I'm here.

Um.

Father, don't be nervous. Now all the schools in the capital are closed, and even the safe schools can't be avoided. And what are they making trouble about? It's the problem of those black people.

And this wave will be more serious.

I'm afraid I won't be able to escape with these people who are close to the top. Even in the future... I guess in the future, even if you come from a family like ours, you can't say a lot of things casually. Otherwise, accidents will happen at any time.

Father Zhang frowned, When school reopens, those children won't have time to make trouble.

Zhang Guoqing smiled helplessly: Father, what do these brats know? They are patriotic, but you forgot that when things get serious, some people will use tricks to take advantage of the fire. That is the most terrifying.

Having said that, Zhang Guoqing left some time for his father to think deeply. For others, take your time, as the situation develops, no one is blind, and there is nothing that cannot be seen.

You save these things and use them slowly. I'm worried that if I send things back in the future, I can only send them back bit by bit. Those are wine and dry goods, and there are some fabrics and cotton, which can be saved.

Mother Zhang glanced triumphantly at her wife who was still thinking deeply. What do you think? If you don’t understand, just ask your old son. Look, just worried that there is no place to hide things, her Xiaowu has already prepared.
