Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 116 Getting carried away

Tao Hongying stepped on the upside-down wicker basket and was busy nailing the straw curtain. After listening to her mother-in-law's instructions, she jumped down and went down to the cave entrance with Zhao Yuru to set up the curtain.

Mrs. Li then whispered to her granddaughter, "Fu Niu, don't bring things out so suddenly in the future. Now that you can speak, you must tell grandma in advance. Otherwise, if someone sees you, they will capture you and burn you as a monster. Grandma... Grandma is no longer alive!"

Jiayin didn’t expect grandma to be so angry. In her opinion, everyone in the family can be trusted. Now that we have an independent place to live again, there is nothing wrong with improving our food. We can't live frugally as a family, but the chickens, ducks and geese in the space can eat and drink well every day...

Seeing that her granddaughter's face was filled with grievances, the old lady was reluctant to let her go. She hugged her granddaughter and sighed.

“Fu Niu, grandma knows that you care about your family and wish you could do everything possible to plan for your family as soon as you were born. Grandma is also happy that you are filial and happy that you protect and take care of your family.

But grandma also feels sorry for you. Grandma doesn’t know where these good things come from, but they are all blessings. Our family has not done anything great and cannot help you. If you use up all the blessings in the future... you Will something happen? Grandma really doesn’t dare to think about it! "

Jiayin finally understood what the old lady was worried about. She felt really warm and helpless in her heart.

 Actually, she doesn’t know what space is about. Secretly, she always thinks that she was too lonely in her previous life. God is pitiful and gave her a chance to have her loved ones again. This space is her golden finger to protect her loved ones.

 But grandma doesn’t know!

It turns out that when she took out things again and again, thinking that she was protecting and taking care of her family, grandma was actually so worried and conflicted.

Think about it carefully, my father can hunt and gather a lot of wild products, so I won’t go hungry for the time being.

　　I was really a little carried away just now!

 She quickly hugged her grandma's neck to reassure the old lady.

 “Grandma, I am obedient.”

The old lady hugged her granddaughter's limp little body and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she listened to the advice.

“It’s because the family is useless and it’s dragging you down, and you have a little girl to worry about. I just hope to settle down as soon as possible, and the family will live a good life. You just need to grow up well!”

The mountain wind howled, and a ray got into the cave. Seeing the grandfather and grandson like this, they didn't dare to disturb them and ran away.

 In the canyon, most of the villagers were still busy around the campfire.

 The night is very cold, but everyone’s heart is warm.

Weaving straw curtains, fetching and boiling water, cooking and washing, there are endless tasks and endless things to say.

Li Laosan had made a pile of mud early. Hearing his daughter-in-law’s shouts, he called Li Laosi and Jiayi Jiahuan, and they went to his cave together.

Jiayi followed the ladder, carrying a bucket of mud, and climbed up in twos and twos like a monkey.

 Then, he stood at the entrance of the cave, and Li Laosi began to throw stones upward.

Each of the stones was as big as a small pottery pot, but in the hands of the uncle and nephew, they were as light as sweet potatoes. They threw them up while playing.

 Others were jealous and came to ask for help.

So, after the uncle and nephew finished throwing away their own stones, they went from cave to cave to help.

By the time they returned home, Li Laosan and his family had already set up the earthen stove and started to light the fire.

There are two small pots of my own on the earth stove, one to boil water for vegetable porridge, and the other to cook sweet potatoes.

It’s just that there is no curtain at the entrance of the cave, so the mountain wind blows in and the smoke flows in, choking everyone and coughing.

Li Laosan scratched the back of his head naively, feeling a little embarrassed.

“Tomorrow we will build more than half of the hole, cover it with a straw curtain, and then find wood to fasten a chimney to let the smoke out.”

"Okay, that's good. After dinner, I will put the basket outside the door to block the wind."

Mrs. Li comforted her son. Compared with sleeping in the woods, this was already very good.

Soon, the two naughty boys Jia An and Jia Xi came back.

 It’s rare for a family to get together and have a quiet dinner.

Mrs. Li was very happy and cut three salted duck eggs. The family ate sorghum rice porridge and boiled sweet potatoes with relish.

 The cave is very simple, and even the entrance of the cave whines and the wind blows, which is not very warm.

 But the family does not have to worry about wild beasts suddenly appearing, or insects and snakes crawling up, which is extremely satisfying.

 There was nothing to talk about all night, and everyone was even busier the next morning.

After a simple bite of food, everyone went into the forest together.

 Every family is busy chopping firewood, mowing grass, picking up mountain products, even cutting down trees, digging barrels, and making chimneys.

 After all, we have to live here all winter, and we know that there will be heavy snow that will block the mountains. If we don’t hurry up and stock up on firewood and food, we are simply asking for death. Except for Mrs. Li, who was looking after the good news, the rest of the Li family went down.

Li Laosan thought that the cave was too small and difficult to use, so after cutting down the tree, he started to toss under the cliff.

He was also very handy. Not only did he make a chimney, but he also nailed a square table and several small benches.

Afraid that the good news would be too small to sit on, I made an extra small chair with a backrest.

Jiayin lay on the straw mat at the entrance of the cave and looked down to watch the excitement.

 Actually, she has a lot of these wooden utensils in her space, but it’s not convenient to take them out at this time.

Not to mention that Liu Biaotou and his son must be in constant contact, there is also Dr. Zhang who is eyeing him.

If any clues are discovered, no one will do anything to her, but she will always cause trouble for the family.

Everyone is like a hard-working ant, perfecting his cave bit by bit as much as possible.

The Li family not only has to take care of themselves, but also helps the Liu family.

 Because the village chief's aunt is in poor health, Uncle Zhao and the others are either lame or have disabled hands, so it is always inconvenient to work.

 Coupled with the addition of Dr. Zhang, apart from being able to treat patients, he is unable to do anything else.

 In the final analysis, Liu Biaotou’s family and the village chief are the only labor force in the cave next door.

  God may indeed be a little partial to everyone. The weather these days is actually warmer than before.

This gave everyone plenty of time, and the piles of wood piled up immediately under the cliff, and there were three in a pile.

Especially the one next to Li's house, which is almost flush with the entrance of the cave and built on the cliff. It not only blocks the wind, but also allows you to reach for firewood, which is very convenient.

Of course, when the burning lasts, they still have to go down to get firewood, but this already makes Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying very satisfied.

Li Laosi took the young men in the village to hunt in the mountains every day. There were no big prey, but there were many rabbits and pheasants.

After peeling off the skin and removing the internal organs, apply coarse salt on it and put it outside the hole, and let it dry in two or three days.

 In winter, a large pot of dried vegetables and stew is enough for the whole family to make toothpaste.

Jiayin had nothing to do and began to think about helping.

While she and her grandma were alone in the cave, she asked her grandma for her opinion. She took out two half-old mattresses from the small space courtyard and quietly placed them under the withered grass.

This completely blocks the cool air coming from below and makes it difficult to be discovered. With linoleum and quilts spread on it, the bed becomes much thicker.

Jiaren also carried the two hot water bottles he had brought to the college.

 One on the man’s side and one on the woman’s side.

At night, I drank boiling hot water, tucked it into the bed, stepped on it with my cold feet, and soon my whole body was warmed up. Everyone sighed in comfort.

Jiaxi Jiaan was naughty and curious, and even wanted to open the bag to take a look, but Mrs. Li gave her a slap in the face.

"If you dare to open it and talk nonsense, you won't be able to eat anymore."

Jiaxi Jiaan immediately became obedient. She huddled under the quilt, with her little head exposed, and whispered from time to time.

Jiayin was tired from working hard during the day and felt drowsy. Her brother had disturbed her sleep, so Mrs. Li knocked her grandchildren one by one, and the cave immediately became quiet...

That night, the third heavy snow fell. When the villagers got up early, they went down to the cave and the snow was up to their knees.

Everyone is glad that they were not lazy before, otherwise they would have really been blinded at a time like this.

 Fortunately, the small waterfall has a large amount of water and the pool is not frozen. Everyone does not have to worry about fetching water once a day.

Like this, after three or four days, Li Laosi became a little restless.

 He climbed to the cave next door and discussed with the village chief and Liu Biaotou, wanting to go out and have a look.

Hunt when you can, and if you encounter people, even better. Always ask what's going on outside.

 Otherwise, after the New Year, it would be a bad thing to walk out and run directly into the arms of a barbarian.
