The light in the forest was blocked by trees and was getting dimmer. Almost every household was holding a knife and looking around for materials to build a shed.

The Jiang family was no exception. Jiang Qingyi was left behind to protect Old Lady Jiang and others. Old Man Jiang took the three brothers Jiang Dashan and Jiang Ping, Jiang An and Jiang Gui to look for materials nearby.

Jiang Qingyi was not idle either. She kicked down several tall trees nearby, then chopped them into pieces with a hatchet and put them aside for use.

She didn't move very quickly, and by the time she finished, Old Man Jiang and the others had returned.

As the sky was getting darker, Old Man Jiang and his family didn't have time to eat. They had to first find a place for their family to hide from the rain at night.

Jiang Dahe and Jiang Dashan set out again, picking up more firewood before it rained. This time Jiang Qingyi also went with them, still holding the stick in her hand.

Jiang Qingyi followed Jiang Dahai, not far away from Jiang Dahe.

She looked down upon the dead branches that fell on the ground, and kicked directly at the dry tree next to her. After a few kicks, the dead tree fell to the ground.

Jiang Qingyi put the dead tree into the space in front of Jiang Dahai and the others, and then said naturally, "Master helped me put it away."

The two men were not surprised and started collecting firewood again.

Jiang Qingyi kicked a few more dead trees and put them into the space and then stopped working.

It was already completely dark at this time, and she urged Jiang Dahai and the other man to go back.

When they arrived at the campsite, the Jiang family's shed had already taken shape, and the tree that Jiang Qingyi had cut down earlier came in handy.

Everyone in the camp lit a fire, and every family was anxious to build a tent because they didn't know when the rain would fall.

Jiang Qingyi looked at the rocks and weeds on the ground in her shed. She went to a deserted place nearby and kicked down a few trees. After cutting them into pieces, she spread the pieces on the ground in the shed.

She took out the tarpaulin given by the system in a place where no one could see, asked Jiang Dashan to spread it on the roof, and then used another one to cover the cart on the side.

She wasn't going to take out the other oilcloths for the time being.

Old Man Jiang and his men had found quite a lot of large leaves, and after covering the roof of the shed, there were still a lot left, which Old Man Jiang and his men tied to the side of the shed.

The shed is about six square meters, and more than a dozen people have to hide from the rain inside.

Fortunately, except for Old Man Jiang and the three Jiang Dashan brothers, everyone else is relatively small in stature.

It was around four in the afternoon when they arrived there, and it was past eight in the evening when the shed was fully set up.

(PS: The author does not know how to calculate the twelve hours, so the time in this article is in 24-hour format. The heroine can ask the system for the specific time.)

The corn porridge that Old Lady Jiang had asked Wang to cook had already gone completely cold. She wanted to save firewood and let her family eat it like this, but was stopped by Jiang Qingyi.

So we had to add some more water and bring it to boiling before giving each person a bowl.

Jiang Qingyi thought it might be cold at night after the rain, so she found some stones around and placed them in the middle of the shed to make a simple fire pit.

As for the wood that was previously laid, some of it was dug out.

After dinner, the Zhao family members started to spread straw mats in the shed. At this time, they did not care about the separation between men and women, so they just spread the mats on both sides of the fire pit, with men and women on each side.

Jiang Dahai went out with a hatchet because he was one of the people on patrol and night watch tonight.

At about half past nine, the sound of raindrops could be heard in the woods, and Jiang Dahai hurried back in the rain.

After a while, the noise outside became very loud, and the rain seemed to be pouring down in a basin.

Jiang Qingyi couldn't sleep because of the sound of rain. She looked outside in the light of the fire and saw small puddles of water on the ground.

Nothing will come out of such a big rain forest, so it seems we should be safe tonight.

Although Jiang Dahai was not patrolling or keeping watch outside, he was sitting in the shed and did not sleep. He was afraid that something unexpected might happen at night when everyone in his family was asleep.

Jiang Qingyi sat on the straw mat for a while, and finally, unable to resist the sleepiness, she lay down and fell asleep. However, the noise outside was too loud, so she couldn't sleep very well.

After a night, the rain outside still didn't stop.

After Jiang Qingyi woke up, she looked under the straw mat and found it was a little damp. She didn't know how long it could last.

It was raining heavily outside, restricting everyone's movements. Everyone hid in their own sheds and did not go out.

Jiang Qingyi was bored, so she took out eggs from the space and roasted them by the fire.

When she took out the fourth one, Mrs. Jiang looked so distressed that she stretched out her hand to stop Jiang Qingyi's action, "Xiao Wu, that's enough."

Jiang Qingyi shook her head. "Grandma, the weather is going to get colder after this rain. We need to eat something good to replenish our body, otherwise it will be very difficult to get through the rest of the day."

After she said that, she continued to put eggs next to the fire pit.

Mrs. Jiang said anxiously, "Don't waste it like this. If you use the eggs you put out to make egg custard, it will be enough for our family to eat."

Jiang Qingyi stopped what she was doing and looked at Old Lady Jiang in surprise, then carefully took out the egg, "Milk, egg custard."

Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she almost laughed. She reached out and touched Jiang Qingyi's forehead, "You..." and then started to get busy.

Jiang Qingyi took out another piece of wild boar meat and said, "Grandma, it's raining. Add some meat to the egg custard so the smell won't spread."

Old Mrs. Jiang looked at the sparkling eyes of her other grandchildren. She couldn't say no, so she could only resign herself to taking the wild boar meat and starting to work on it.

Seeing this, Chen immediately put Xiao Tian down from her arms and said to Old Lady Jiang, "Mom, take a rest, I'll do it."

Old Mrs. Jiang cut off one-fifth of the meat with a knife and returned the rest to Jiang Qingyi.

Jiang Qingyi snorted twice, "Grandma, there are so many people in our family. It's so hard to have a meal at once. Can you give us more? If you are worried about not having meat, I will go and get something for you this afternoon. You will definitely not starve."

Old man Jiang said at the side, "Old woman, listen to Xiaowu."

Old Mrs. Jiang sighed and handed all the meat to Chen, "Take it all and cook it."

After she finished speaking, she sat alone in the corner in silence, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Jiang Qingyi looked at her for a while, then moved closer to Old Lady Jiang and hugged her, "Grandma, don't be unhappy."

Old Mrs. Jiang touched Jiang Qingyi's face lovingly, "Grandma knows, I'm just worried about you. Our family has been through so many years of poverty, and now our life is suddenly better because of you. Have you ever thought about what to do after you get married?"

Jiang Qingyi whispered, "Grandma, I'm only seven years old. Why are you worrying so much? My brothers and sisters are all good. When we go to the capital, life will definitely not be the same as before. I am the apprentice of a god, so you should believe me."

After hearing what Jiang Qingyi said, Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "You are also a good child."
