Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

Chapter 745: Strategy for the Landlord Descendant Who Hides His Strength 34

After buying a bicycle, it becomes more convenient to go to the city.

Liu Qingwei installed a wooden board with a thick cushion on the back of the bike, and he rode very slowly every time so that the bike would never bump around.

Seeing this, many people in the village were envious, especially when winter came, it was really difficult to go to the city.

Having a car can save a lot of trouble, so in winter many villagers are willing to pay to rent his bicycle.

The two took this opportunity to earn some money, but the bicycles could only be rented out in the morning. It was not convenient to borrow them in the afternoon when they had to go to the village primary school.

It's easy to slip when walking on the ice and snow, and you can't ride a bike fast, so he always pushes the bike. The two of them chat on the road and don't feel lonely.

Chengcheng wore the coat that her brother promised to buy her, and also put on a second-hand military coat that he exchanged from a small boss in the black market. It was very warm and she didn't feel cold at all.

Liu Qingwei always wore the wild boar fur vest he made for him, and only put on the military coat when he arrived at school and entered the office.

Sometimes he was afraid that she would be cold, so he would fill a glass bottle with hot water to warm her hands.

I asked the nurse for this thing in the hospital. It was the unused bottle after the IV drip.

He always has a good trick to use. In those days, there were no floor heating, radiators, electric blankets, etc., and it was still very cold to sleep at night.

Whenever this happened, they would get the thick quilt from the basement in advance and use it, and then spread the thin quilt they had made before under their bodies, so that they could feel the softness beneath their bodies and not feel uncomfortable when they slept at night.

Liu Qingwei was still thinking about giving her some hot water and putting it next to her feet to warm them, but he calmed down when he heard her say that the bottle was easy to open.

He changed to covering his hands with hot water and holding her feet to keep them warm.

As for eating, because the stove was previously placed outside the door to avoid fumes when cooking, it has now become a new problem facing us.

Eating out in the cafeteria or at state-owned restaurants all the time was too extravagant, so Chengcheng decided to use the old sweater yarn and fabric from the basement to make a pair of gloves for both of them, the kind that showed the toes.

It doesn't have much impact when worn and it looks pretty good. I like to wear the gloves every time I go out, including when cooking.

This can provide some warmth but it is not enough. The food needs to be brought in quickly after cooking otherwise it will cool down easily.

It is more convenient to roast sweet potatoes than to cook properly, but now for the sake of her nutrition, we have to cook often.

It was also because of this incident that Chengcheng decided to build an indoor stove and open a chimney on top or in the corner for ventilation.

As soon as she said this, Liu Qingwei rushed to get it done for her. He did it very casually and did not do it according to the original idea. The two discussed it and decided to start a fire in the cowshed next door because they were afraid that too much cold wind would come into the house.

In winter, people prefer to stay at home. Even the villager who takes care of the cows is unwilling to run here to feed them when it is not cold.

Seeing that no one was feeding the cats, the village chief gave the job to the two of them first.

This is also how the two of them were able to use the bullpen without saying hello.

When you need it, just open the door and fry it. It's not easy to let the cows go out to roam in the winter and find grass to eat.

Every time they fed it crop stalks, it wasn't picky about what it ate. Sometimes the two of them would even feed it some raw carrots in private.

However, these are rare cases, and it is because the two of them ate too much and could not finish all the food, and it was not convenient to give the food away in winter.

At this season, every family in the village eats the food they have stored, and since the two of them don't share their food, how can they eat well every meal?

If you give it to others, it will be easy for them to notice that something is wrong.

Secondly, they also have to take care of feeding the pigs. In this season, wells are most likely to freeze and water supply becomes a problem. Sometimes when they cannot fetch water in the village, they will go to the yard in the city and bring back a few buckets of water.

He lied that he bought it with his own money and also mentioned a price.

The price is often slightly higher than the tap water in the city, but the villagers have never suspected anything was wrong.

However, fewer people are willing to ask them to buy water. People are more willing to use water from wells. Even if the water is frozen, they will find ways to dig it out and take it home to melt for drinking.

Winter was still very difficult. In order to prevent the glass from being frozen, they bought several layers of plastic sheets.

After laying the layer on the glass, I laid another layer on the pigpen, because the pigs below would easily get sick once the wooden boards on top fell on them and then melted into water.

That's it, and you have to go in and clean the pigsty regularly.

In order to keep clean, Liu Qingwei always wore a raincoat and rain boots every time he went in, as these two were easier to clean if they got dirty.

But every time they prepare to wash these, they use more water, and often the two of them will find a bucket to fetch water from the well.

The water over there was frozen and dug, and then frozen again, over and over again. It was very difficult for so many households in the village to get water in one winter.

The village chief also thought of a solution. When the water inside was gone, he could only go to the city to negotiate whether some water could be brought in. Their village was remote and there was no river, so the lack of water was a big problem.

Not only has the village chief been unable to sit still for half a month, and similar problems have also occurred in other villages.

When you go to the city's water supply station to buy water, they charge a fee. If the commune doesn't pay, they have to find a way to pay.

We were forced into a desperate situation. The water in the mountains was almost used up. Further in, it was deep in the mountains and no one dared to go in to look for water for fear of losing their lives.

The village chief had thought about taking the risk, but since his wife was in charge of the matter, he could only think about it.

Since it costs money, the team can't just pay for it. Several villages have agreed to pool money together to buy water, and maybe they can get it cheaper by asking for favors.

The final price, when spread out among the villages, was a considerable sum, so the village chief held a meeting to discuss the matter when he returned.

Mobilizing the villagers to buy water with money was a heavy blow to the villagers who had finally earned some money after selling their grain.

No one wanted to be without drinking water at this critical moment, and it was quite easy to do. Chengcheng and his wife even pooled some money to pay it forward.

After all, the roads are slippery in winter, and it is quite dangerous to carry water from the city to the countryside. Besides, the water in the city is charged.

Several villages pooled their money and got the job done. People from the water supply station came to release water every day, and the well would never dry up again.

The village chief didn’t do this before. People had to share raw egg liquid when they couldn’t drink water. If there was really no water, they could just endure it or go to the city to buy some. No one ever cared about it.

After all this comparison, it’s better to change the village chief, and life will get better.

It is difficult for children to go to school in winter. It gets dark early and there is no electricity. Several teachers discussed and decided to let the students go out of class early so that the children can go home and do their homework earlier.

This year, some students no longer want to continue their studies after only one semester. The progress is often disrupted by students who think they are incapable of studying or parents who think studying is useless.
