Stock up in space to survive and save civilization in the end of the world

This house seems to occupy a smaller area than the yard of my hometown, but it has its own independent space, including bicycles.

So Lin Qian happily opened the door and went in. It was empty, except for a rectangular kang, there was nothing inside.

There are windows on one side of the house, which provide good lighting, and a small door on the other side, which is the kitchen.

The kitchen only has a simple earthen stove, and you have to provide everything else yourself.

"You can go to Master Yang. He is a carpenter in the village. He made many dowry boxes for girls in the village. He is very good at carpentry." Aunt Dani said with a smile, "I will accompany you to his house then! "

"Thank you, aunt!" Lin Qian asked with a sweet smile: "Which aunt grew those vegetables outside the house?"

"It was planted by Dali's family who lives across from you. At that time, I didn't know you were coming. Dali's wife has been planting it for a few years here. She is a hard-working person, but she is a bit talkative."

"Is this the private land of Uncle Dali's family?" Lin Qian asked. If so, it would not be a good thing for them.

Aunt Dani shook her head, "No, this place is too small. We can only grow some vegetables. His family also has several people to eat, and the private land is in another place. It's big."

"This dish looks so fresh." Lin Qian couldn't help but look at it a few more times. There were still dewdrops hanging on the dish. The Chinese cabbage was thick and thick, so it would probably be very sweet when eaten raw. "The vegetables in the city's supply and marketing cooperatives are all wilted."

Aunt Dani smiled and said: "We don't have much else here, and we still have enough vegetables and grain. When cooking, we can just set up the pot and go to the field to pick vegetables!"

The two of them were chatting while walking up the mountain carrying a basket. When they reached the foot of the mountain and were about to go up the mountain, Lin Qian heard the cry of cows coming from the woods.

Seeing her curiosity, Aunt Dani explained: "Just walk over there for a while, and you'll find the cowshed and pigsty in the village."

Lin Qian suppressed the impulse in her heart and said calmly: "That house is close to the house we live in, and it can be considered a neighbor. Who lives there? Why don't I go over and say hello now?"

Yang Dani grabbed Lin Qian and said, "If you're fine, you'd better not go there. Those who raise cattle and feed pigs are all backward elements."

Having said this, she pushed Lin Qian up the mountain, "In the past, who would want to clean the cowshed? It was tiring and dirty. Some people were dissatisfied when the work score was high, but no one did it if it was low. Now someone has finally taken over this job. "

"How many backward elements are there in our village?" Lin Qian asked pretending to be curious.

Yang Dani sighed, "Originally, the commune sent us four people, but then only the old couple were left."

"A young man couldn't bear it. Within a few days, he hung himself on a tree by the waistband of his pants. He was not discovered until dawn. He had already run out of energy."

"After another middle-aged man saw it, he started talking nonsense and crazy within a few days, and was later taken away. So now there is only an old couple working in the bullpen."

Lin Qian glanced over there and could only vaguely see a small shed that was not high. She was silently thinking that she must find time to go there and take a look in the next few days.

It was relatively late when they went up the mountain, and the villagers who got up early had already started to go down the mountain one after another.

Heilingtun is not a big village, and the people in the village are familiar with each other, so they started another introduction meeting on their way up the mountain to cut firewood.

Lin Qian felt that after today, the news about the arrival of two new educated youths in Black Ridge Village should have spread throughout the village.

Halfway up the mountain, the number of people gradually became sparse, and only the rustling of the wind could be heard all around. Lin Qian was holding a stick for paving the way, walking behind Yang Dani.

The mountain forest in autumn is a treasure house. Aunt Dani took her to pick up a small basket of unpeeled chestnuts, and taught her where to find firewood, what kind of branches burned with less smoke, and what kind of wood was resistant to burning.

Lin Qian listened carefully, took it to heart, and relied on this common sense to live her life in the future.

Picking up a bundle of firewood, she felt that she had exhausted all her strength, but seeing Aunt Dani next to her easily lifting two bundles of firewood with her left and right hands, Lin Qian couldn't help but look envious.

"Aren't you used to it?" Yang Dani looked at Lin Qian's hands, "Your hands are so thin that it looks like they are written with a pen. They are definitely different from people like us who are used to doing rough work."

"The working people are the most glorious. I will learn more from my aunt in the future!"

Hearing Lin Qian's words, Yang Dani suddenly smiled and continued to teach Lin Qian how to bundle firewood.

After coming down the mountain, what Lin Qian didn't expect was that all the firewood was placed in the small house where they lived.

According to Yang Dani, after the autumn harvest every year, the brigade organizes villagers to go up the mountain to cut firewood, and arranges oxcarts to transport firewood down the mountain to prepare for the winter.

So now every house has a room full of firewood for burning in the winter.

Yang Dani didn't allow Lin Qian to refuse. After stacking the firewood in a corner of the kitchen, she said to her: "It's snowing this winter and it's very cold. You haven't prepared anything. I'll wait for the hunting boys to come back in a few days." They go up the mountain to chop more firewood, since they can’t use up all their strength anyway.”

"Thank you, Auntie!" Lin Qian called affectionately, thinking that she would have a better relationship with Uncle Wang's family, as they are all real people.

"Thank you. Our family also wants to thank you for coming. When I went to see my mother-in-law this morning, she said it was rare for her to have a good sleep."

It was almost time for lunch. After putting down the firewood, the two of them walked towards the entrance of the village.

Lin Qian calculated the time along the way and found that it would take about 15 minutes to walk quickly from the village entrance to the house where they lived.

The lunch at noon made both Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan feel Uncle Wang's enthusiasm and "status" in the village.

Two real meat dishes, braised native chicken and roasted hare, were filled in large pots, along with stir-fried shredded potatoes, cabbage and egg drop soup, and a pot of corn pancakes.

In addition to Uncle Wang's family, the people sitting with him for dinner included Zhang Xiongwen, the village captain, and Wang Xiangdang, the village secretary.

"Eat more, I have enough corn cakes!" Uncle Wang greeted warmly, "There is a fish in the water tank outside. Let's stew it for dinner tonight!"

The table is two small ones pushed together, and there seems to be no saying that women don't sit at the table. Grandma Wang and Aunt Dani both sit at the table together, as they are used to it.

This made Lin Qian suddenly feel a sense of identity with this village.

During the conversation, Lin Qian learned that the Wang family is the common surname in Heilingtun, and the previous branch secretaries were all surnamed Wang.

Lin Qian didn't find this strange. The village was dominated by family power. Even if the commune above had different opinions, they had to consider whether the policy instructions could be communicated.

This is how Wang Xiangdang became the village secretary. His family was large and powerful, and he himself had been a soldier, so he couldn't be more upright and popular.

And although the secretary has always been a member of the Wang family, the Wang family did not dominate the selection of the captain, so the superiors could not find any fault.

After hearing Lin Qian say that the house was strong and clean, Gao Xiaoan quickly thanked Secretary Wang and Captain Zhang.
