Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Here, Zhang Wu led the way and placed the delivered furniture into the house one by one. He then gave them some money for their hard work. After seeing them off, he carefully locked the door before going back.

"Has the furniture been delivered?"

As soon as Zhang Wu stepped into the main room, he heard Song Shiwei's voice and nodded with a smile: "It has been delivered, but there are still two rooms where the beds and cabinets have not been delivered yet. They said they will deliver them in the afternoon and they will be delivered within two days."

"Well, when are you going to hold the warm-up party?"

"Wait a couple of days. We have to wait until the furniture is delivered, and then we can clean it up properly." Zhang Wu paused and said, "Master, I think we should not invite so many people to the Wenju wine party. It will be uncomfortable to talk with too many people."

"Who are you going to invite?"

"The Huang family, the two Wei village chiefs, and the Liu Daming and Li Guishu families, all contributed a lot to the construction of the house, and they didn't even want money or food."

Song Shi smiled and nodded: "Okay, we are all acquaintances, just make a list of what you need."

"Okay, I'll go cook."

The Wenju party was scheduled for three days later, and Zhang Wuli cleaned the new house inside and out.

On the day of the Wenju wine party, Huang Changyuan's family arrived early. Luo Hongmei knew that Song Shiwei and Zhang Wu could not cook, so she wanted to come early to help and bring the dried vegetables and smoked meat she had exchanged in the village.

The families of Liu Daming and Li Gui arrived later. They went up the mountain to chop a lot of firewood and dragged it over, and also brought back two pheasants and rabbits.

Wei Cai and Wei Xiong arrived soon after, each holding a small jar of liquor with a strong and fragrant aroma, and they also gave Zhang Wu twenty cents wrapped in red paper.

The families were all familiar with each other, so there was no need to make compromises. Only the Huang family came with its entire family, while only one person came from the other families.

The men were sitting in the main room drinking tea and chatting. Luo Hongmei and Huang Ying were busy in the kitchen, and Feng Ruxiao was also helping in the kitchen.

It was bustling here, but Song Shiwei was still sleeping soundly on the bed. He got up slowly when Feng Rulai called him at 9:00 p.m. There was a notebook placed casually on the bed, which showed that he fell asleep while reading last night.

After packing up the vegetables, she walked out of the house towards Zhang Wu's house. As soon as she stepped through the door, she heard laughter in the main room.

Feng Ru followed closely beside her, and when she saw her stop and whispered, "The village chief and the others are here. Brother Zhang Wu is talking to them. Aunt Luo and Sister Huang Ying are cooking in the kitchen."

Song Shiwei nodded his head: "I understand."

"Sister Song, I'll go to the kitchen first. Auntie praised me for my good cooking skills."

"Go."

Song Shiwei slowly walked into the main room amid the bustling crowd, and the room became quiet for a moment.

Wei Cai smiled and looked at Song Shiwei: "Xiao Song is here, come and sit down."

Although Huang Changyuan and Wei Xiong did not say anything, they took the initiative to stand up and vacate the seats at the top.

Everyone smiled when they saw Song Shiwei and spoke enthusiastically.

Song Shi smiled and said, "You guys chat, I'll go to the kitchen to talk to my aunt."

After saying that, Song Shiwei nodded slightly to a few people and then went to the kitchen.

Song Shiwei brought out a lot of bacon and eggs, as well as two jars of the best wine bought in the capital. Everyone was well fed and well drunk.

Huang Changyuan and Wei Cai both got drunk in the end. Zhang Wu took the lead in supporting Wei Cai and sending him home. On the contrary, Wei Xiong and Li Gui, who did not look like they were drinking, were not drunk, and they both drank quite a lot of wine.

When Zhang Wu came back, Feng Ru handed him a lantern and said, "Brother Zhang Wu, Sister Song asked you to take Sister Huang Ying and the others home."

Luo Hongmei stood aside and waved her hands repeatedly: "There are so many of us, no need to see us off. It's so late, we should rest early."

"Aunt, what you said is not right. Brother Huang Hai and Brother Huang Ping should support Uncle Huang. If you and Sister Huang Ying fall, you should let Brother Zhang Wu carry the lantern and send you back, right, Brother Zhang Wu?"

Zhang Wu pinched Feng Ru's chubby face and said loudly, "You are right, just listen to Ru'er."

Wen Ju Zhang Wu had been talking to Wei Cai and the others today, but had not said much to Huang Ying. Now that the show was about to end, Zhang Wu stared at Huang Ying, making her face turn red. Fortunately, it was dark at night and no one saw it.

Luo Hongmei's smiling eyes flickered over the two of them. After thanking Song Shiwei, she walked over to the two Huang Hai brothers and said casually, "My girl, you and Xiao Zhang should watch out for the road."

Zhang Wu and Huang Ying naturally lagged behind the four people by one step. The lantern tilted towards Huang Ying, and the faint yellow light illuminated the ground beneath their feet. The two of them left hand in hand.

"Sister Song, we're going back too. You should go to bed early," Liu Daming said goodbye as he took Li Gui by the hand.

Wei Xiong also said, "I went the same way as them and went back as well."

Song Shi nodded slightly: "Slow down."

After watching them leave, Feng Ru stood beside Song Shiwei, smiling and looking at them from afar: "Sister Song, Brother Zhang Wu and Sister Huang Ying are a perfect match."

"You're so young, and you already know how to match each other?"

Feng Ru's eyes curved like crescent moons: "Of course I know, it's all written in the book."

Song Shiwei retracted his gaze and put his hands behind his back: "I'm back."

"Sister Song, wait for me. I'll lock the door for Brother Zhang Wu." Feng Ru hurriedly took out the key from her pocket, quickly locked the door, and trotted towards Song Shiwei.

Seven days after the warm wine, the wind and snow stopped completely and the temperature rose rapidly. Many people were looking forward to the extreme cold passing quickly and the start of a new life in spring.

Only Song Shiwei and Shen Qianxue knew clearly that the extreme cold was not the end and natural disasters would continue.

Now that the temperature has risen and the snow and wind have stopped, more and more people are going out, and Zhang Wu and Huang Ying's wedding will be put on the agenda.

According to the days calculated before, there is only half a month left.

The Huang family was going to hold a banquet to marry off their daughter, so Zhang Wu also started preparing early. There was no need to worry about food and meat, as there were still plenty in Song Shi's micro-space. But there was no way to get out fresh vegetables, so Zhang Wu had to make them into dried vegetables and then soak them in water and stir-fry them.

Huang Hai and Liu Daming and others have been going to the mountains quite often during this period, and they have been able to hunt some wild animals and bring them back every now and then. Luo Hongmei pickled them all and stored them for use in banquets when the time comes.

After the engagement, Huang Ying spent most of her time at home making clothes and wedding quilts. Cotton was unavailable and old ones could not be used, so Luo Hongmei, after careful consideration, asked Huang Ying to make two more quilt covers, and two new sets of clothes for Zhang Wu, one for Song Shiwei, and later for Feng Ru, so that they all had a share.

As for the materials for making clothes, the old couple gritted their teeth and used their savings to buy them in the city. The whole family knew about this. Huang Ying's two sisters-in-law not only had no complaints, but also often helped Huang Ying embroider a few purse handkerchiefs.

That evening, Huang Hai, Liu Daming and others went into the mountains to hunt a wild boar and each got several dozen kilograms of meat.

When Luo Hongmei saw it, her eyes lit up. She immediately cut two kilograms to prepare for dinner. Because of Huang Ying's wedding, the family had not eaten meat for a long time. As for the rest...

"There are still quite a few left. I don't know if Xiao Zhang has enough meat. They have invited more people than we have."

Huang Hai immediately smiled: "Then send the rest to him. I will go to the Desert Village after dinner."
