Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

Because they don’t know what square is, and Li Qingxiu doesn’t know how to explain it.

She saw dry firewood piled in the corner to be used for heating, so she walked over and took a piece of firewood and drew a pattern about one square meter on the ground.

He also told Li Zheng that one square meter of theirs was about this big, and asked Li Zheng to count how many square meters of this size there were in the two cellars.

Li Zheng asked Li Aniu to measure the size of the square drawn by Li Qingxiu. He also told Li Qingxiu that he had an idea and would tell her when the statistics were complete.

Li Qingxiu said that not only the floor but also the walls must be counted.

Although Li Zheng didn't know why Li Qingxiu wanted to calculate this, he still agreed.

When Li Qingxiu passed by the grass shed where carpenters were making, she saw the carpenters carrying wooden boards onto the open snow.

Their next actions made Li Qingxiu understand that they wanted to assemble the wooden box on the spot. As long as they assemble the wooden box, they can proceed to the next step, which is to fill it with hot spring water and wait for the water to freeze into ice.

Although time was tight, Li Qingxiu did not dare to rush these resentful carpenters, and finally waited until the first wooden box was assembled.

Li Dazhuang and Li Qingxiu moved the bamboo pipe connected from the hot spring to the wooden box. Li Dazhuang pulled out the cork of the bamboo pipe, and the warm water suddenly flowed into the wooden box through the bamboo pipe.

Li Qingxiu nodded with satisfaction. The carpenters complained, but they did a pretty good job. There was no leakage in the wooden box.

Then the second and third wooden boxes were assembled. Li Qingxiu told Li Dazhuang that as soon as the wooden boxes were made, they should be filled with hot spring water.

The sooner the hot spring water flows into the wooden box, the sooner it freezes into ice.

Li Dazhuang patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, we have already thought of this problem. Your second uncle has already assembled another bamboo pipe at the hot spring. The extra bamboo pipe will make the speed much faster."

When Li Qingxiu saw that they were successful, she felt very relieved.

While the grandparents and parents were busy, a bunch of unsupervised children ran out to have a snowball fight.

Seeing such a big fight between Li Qingxiu and Li Dazhuang, they stopped even having a snowball fight and came to see what they were planning to do with so many big boxes.

Li Qingxiu had already left, and she was going to Li Wei's place because she suddenly remembered that the extra chaga had not yet been given to Li Wei for him to help process.

After a while, Li Qingxiu came to the straw shed where Li Wei usually treated doctors and made medicine. She knocked on the door, and was greeted by an unexpected person.

A somewhat surprised Li Qingxiu greeted with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, long time no see."

The Aunt Zhang mentioned by Li Qingxiu is Li Wei's daughter-in-law Zhang Qiuye. Zhang Qiuye was injured on the back by a refugee when he was fleeing famine. Li Qingxiu hadn't seen her for a long time.

Zhang Qiuye smiled brightly when he saw it was Li Qingxiu and said, "It turns out it's Qingxiu. I haven't seen you for a long time. Come in!"

Li Wei, who was grinding medicine, saw Li Qingxiu coming and asked with concern: "Don't you think you also have the cold?"

Li Qingxiu was stunned when she walked in. Judging from the meaning of Li Wei's words, there were quite a few people suffering from colds recently.

Come to think of it, the temperature has been getting lower and lower these past two days. Even if everyone wears a new cotton-padded jacket, they still have to work outside in the wind and snow, and they will inevitably get cold.

Zhang Qiuye glared at his man and said angrily: "Do you know how to talk with that mouth? It must be uncomfortable for people to come to you, right?"

Li Wei, who was told by his wife, smiled on his face and did not refute, but he was very unconvinced in his heart. Usually people who came to him were uncomfortable people, so what was wrong with him caring about them? The child doesn't give himself any face in front of the juniors, huh!

After Zhang Qiuye finished speaking, he walked to a small wooden box, took a wooden bowl from it, then picked up a small clay pot that was gurgling on the small earthen stove nearby and poured some water into the bowl.

Zhang Qiuye handed the bowl to Li Qingxiu and said with a gentle expression: "Hurry up and drink something hot to warm yourself up."

Li Qingxiu was not polite. She thanked her, took the bowl, blew on it twice and took a sip.

As soon as the hot water entered her mouth, Li Qingxiu was a little surprised. The hot water was sweet!

Zhang Qiuye looked at Li Qingxiu's sudden surprise and explained with a smile: "This is licorice water. The licorice itself has a sweet taste. Many adults and children have coughs these days. I boil some licorice water and let everyone come. Have a drink or two.”

"No wonder it's so sweet. Can this licorice cure coughs?" After speaking, Li Qingxiu couldn't help but take a sip of licorice water.

She has no resistance to sweet things, and Widow Jia also knows this, so the ginger soup she gives her always contains more sugar.

After Qingfeng Li found out, he complained to Widow Jia that she was partial and that he also wanted sweet ginger soup. Because Qingfeng Li's ginger soup is only a little sweet.

But Widow Jia refused Li Qingfeng on the excuse that eating too much sweets for children was bad for their teeth. As a result, Qingfeng Li was as angry as a little puffer fish.

Li Wei nodded and said, "Licorice has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, replenishing qi, moistening the lungs and relieving coughs. By the way, tell me what brings you here?"

Li Qingxiu took a piece of chaga from her arms and showed it to Li Wei. "Uncle Wei, do you know this kind of thing?"

Li Wei was surprised when he saw it: "Chaga! Where did you get it, girl?"

"Didn't I go out a few days ago? I met this on the mountain. I thought it might be a medicinal material, so I picked it back for you to see. I didn't expect it to be a medicinal material."

When Li Qingxiu heard that Li Wei knew Chaga, things would be easier to handle, so she handed the Chaga directly to Li Wei.

Li Wei took the chaga and looked at it carefully. "Chaga mushroom of yours is a treasure. It is recorded in medical books that Chaga mushroom can be used to treat symptoms such as wind and cold, typhoid fever, cough, sore throat and other symptoms. It has the effects of warming the body and dispersing cold, detoxifying and swelling, and improving physical fitness."

Li Qingxiu had long known about the medicinal effects of chaga, but she still had to pretend not to understand at the moment.

Li Qingxiu raised a simple little face. "Wow! I didn't expect that chaga has so many effects. Please help Uncle Wei prepare this chaga for me."

Li Wei chuckled and said: "If this Chaga mushroom is not used as medicine, there is no need to process it. You just need to cut a few pieces and soak it in water to drink."

Li Qingxiu didn't expect that the chaga mushroom didn't need to be brewed. Just when she was about to take the chaga mushroom back, she heard Li Wei speak again.

"Qingxiu, can you give me half of your chaga? Recently, a lot of people are suffering from cold and cough. This chaga can drive away the cold and is just right for the symptoms. Don't worry, I won't get it for nothing. From now on, you three siblings will If anyone doesn't feel well, I won't take any money from you."

When Li Qingxiu heard this, the three of them twitched at the corners of their mouths... Damn it! Li Wei's words seemed to be cursing their siblings to get sick.
