After entering the book, I took the heroine's space and lived in the end of the world

As the fried fish meat was thrown outside the wall, after a few "crackling" sounds, the mutated flies that were originally fighting for the fish meat outside the wall suddenly swarmed over, and the chaos became even worse.

They were seen fighting and flying, and the "buzzing" sound they made seemed particularly noisy in this quiet and cold winter day.

Everyone in the yard watched this scene. Although they felt it was a bit noisy, they were relieved that at least the mutant flies no longer tried to rush into the yard.

Honeysuckle found the scene outside disgusting. She shivered and closed the door tightly.

Song Mingtao exhaled and looked at everyone and said, "It was not easy to make the fish oil today, but the harvest was also great. Next, let's clean up here. We can't leave it in such a mess."

Everyone responded, and several women went to fetch water to clean the iron pot and the used tools, while the men began to clean up the scattered debris in the yard and put the long wooden sticks in order.

The next day, the women took out some of the solidified fish oil and made simple oil lamps, which they placed in the yard and in every corner of the house.

Although everyone lived in the blacksmith's room during the winter, they still had to carry oil lamps in their own rooms. It wasn't like they wouldn't go back to live there. They would move back as long as the weather wasn't so cold.

The days passed one by one in the busyness of everyone, and before we knew it, it was New Year's Day.

Song Mingtao led everyone to decorate and clean the tower early in the morning.

Spring Festival couplets written by Su Yue on red paper are posted on the doors of every household, and the auspicious word "Fu" is posted on the windows. The internal windows are also posted with various paper-cuts made by the women. At a glance, the festive atmosphere is particularly strong.

The women were very busy during this period because Su Yue was so generous. She waved her hand and took out a lot of cloth and cotton from the space, and asked the women to make a new set of clothes and new shoes for each of their family members.

Liu Cui and Nanny Yang also showed off their skills and made a lot of different kinds of cakes, which made the little girls and Zhong Tie's children very happy.

The men also went out and came back early. This time they went out not to blow up the zombies, but to cut some bamboo.

The men piled the cut bamboo neatly in a corner of the yard and began to make firecrackers. After all, the New Year cannot be celebrated without firecrackers.

They first selected bamboos with uniform thickness and complete joints, and cut them into appropriate lengths.

Then, use a knife to carefully carve out some shallow slits at the bamboo joints. This will make it easier for the bamboo to crack and make noise when heated.

The children gathered around curiously, chattering and asking questions.

"Brother Da, will it work like this?"

"Brother Xi, can it be as loud as a bomb?"

……

The men laughed out loud at the children's series of questions.

Liu Daxi squatted down, touched a child's head and said, "This noise can't be compared to a bomb, but it's loud enough. It will definitely be a lively scene. Just wait and see."

Liu Cui and the other ladies were also finishing up their work in the kitchen, so they did not cook in the iron room this time.

Because there were so many dishes to cook and there was not enough space in the iron room, Liu Cui heated up the kitchen a day in advance and has been working in the kitchen all day.

The women brought the prepared dishes to the blacksmith room one by one, including braised pork trotters, braised lion's head, steamed grass carp. Of course, the fish were not mutant fish, but ordinary fish that Su Yue had stockpiled in advance.

There are also chestnut stewed chicken, garlic-flavored spareribs, fried bacon with garlic chives, sausages, and various pastries that are also carefully placed on the table.

Finally, the steamed buns were piled up into a small hill, white and plump, with a strong wheat aroma.

Of course, wine is indispensable. Su Yue asked Rendong to put two jars on each table so that everyone can enjoy it but not get drunk. It is better to stay sober in the current situation.

The little girls and Zhong Tie's children were laughing and playing in the yard. They couldn't hold back when they smelled the delicious food wafting from the blacksmith's room.

From time to time, I would run in to take a look at the delicious dishes, my eyes full of anticipation, and I would keep muttering that I would eat more later.

Seeing this, Nanny Yang smiled and said to Su Yue, "Miss, it's time to set off firecrackers."

Su Yue listened to what Yang Ma said, nodded with a smile, stood up and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, our New Year's Eve dinner is almost ready, let's go set off some firecrackers and welcome the New Year with great enthusiasm!"

"Great! Let's set off firecrackers to welcome the New Year!" Song Mingtao also said loudly.

Everyone cheered immediately, and the children's faces turned red with excitement. They rushed to the yard. The men followed them and moved the firecrackers that had been prepared long ago.

When they got to the yard, everyone consciously stood at a relatively safe distance, formed a circle, and stared with bright eyes at the firecrackers that had just been piled in an open area.

Several men approached cautiously with tinder in their hands. Their movements were both careful and a little impatient.

With a "hiss", the fire lighter ignited the fuse of the firecracker, and in an instant, sparks spread rapidly along the fuse.

The men looked on expectantly, while the women covered their ears and hid beside their men or sons, watching it all with a smile.

Soon, a "crackling" sound was heard, and the sound of bamboo exploding echoed above the tower, and the crisp sounds intertwined with each other.

Although not as earth-shattering as traditional gunpowder firecrackers, they are lively enough to make the New Year atmosphere even more intense.

The children covered their ears, jumped and danced, and kept shouting "Happy New Year, Happy New Year". Their innocent laughter seemed particularly cheerful in this festive atmosphere.

The women also smiled from ear to ear. While watching the excitement, they said auspicious words to each other, their eyes full of beautiful expectations for the new year.

In fact, what people say most is "Happy New Year" instead of "Wish you good fortune" or other words like that.

Because although they live much better in the tower than people outside, the natural disasters that come one after another are not the life that ordinary people like them want.

At least I hope they can plant crops in the fields. Without crops, there will be no harvest, which makes them feel that there is no hope for the future.

Seeing all this, Madam Yang's eyes became a little hot. She quickly wiped them with a handkerchief. She couldn't cry on New Year's Day.

"Girl, looking at all this, how can you still remember the difficult and horrible days you have experienced before?"

Su Yue also nodded slightly, feeling in her heart: That's right, look how happy they are, this doesn't look like the days of doomsday at all. Of course, it is also my credit that I can let them live like this.
