Survive through the ancient apocalypse
Chapter 71
Time doesn't stay with people's will, and it will soon be the end of the year.During the period, several snowfalls of different sizes fell, and the whole world was covered with snow, and the mountains and plains were covered with snow.
It's freezing cold outside, and in previous years, New Year's Eve is the busiest time of the year.No matter how poor the family is, they will prepare a table of sumptuous dishes within their ability.In the past, even if the adults were gloomy, they would still show a smile at the end of the year.
This year most people are not in the mood for the festival.On the one hand, they have to worry about the extremely cold weather, and on the other hand, they have to cut down on food and clothing in order to prepare for a longer period of time next year.Judging from the current situation, it is uncertain whether there will be a harvest next year, and people's worries are not groundless.
The Ye Family has the largest population in Ye Family Village, followed by the wealthy Dong Family in the village.Except for these two families, other families range from three to five people to as many as twenty or thirty people.With such a small number of people, it is difficult to survive in today's world with the strength of a family.Everyone is not stupid. Knowing that the situation next year will be worrying, several close families have formed small groups to help each other.In this way, the resources of each company are utilized to the maximum extent.
Due to the population, the average number of supernatural beings owned by each family in Yejia Village is less than two.There are many types of supernatural powers. There may only be one out of a few of the wood-type powers, fire-type powers, and water-type powers that are effective for crop growth. It is impossible to grow high-yield crops without the cooperation of several companies. crops.
Among the three abilities, the wood-type ability has the greatest impact on the yield per mu, followed by the fire-type ability, and then the water-type ability.Wood-type abilities can not only shorten the growth time of crops, but also provide a large amount of unknown nutrients needed for crop growth, as long as there are wood-type abilities
Continuously cast wood-type abilities on the crops, even without the other two abilities, the yield per mu of crops will be much higher than that of normal-grown crops.The fire-type ability can provide enough light for the crops, and the water-type ability can not only purify the special substances brought by the red rain, but also provide crops
A small amount of nutrients, but the effect is not very obvious.Therefore, under normal circumstances, the people with the ability of the water system of the Ye family only purify the well water for everyone, and if there is any leftover ability, they will sprinkle it on the crops that need to be watered.
The situation in Yejia Village is much better than outside, but it's cold and snowy, no matter how lively the house is, the sound cannot be heard outside.In previous years, during the Chinese New Year in the village, there was an occasional door-opener. This year, the weather was too cold, and everyone was nestled on the warm kang, and even the thought of door-breaking stopped.
It's the Chinese New Year, a dull winter, and it's rare to meet a festive day. After discussing with his family, Ye Mingze decided to give everyone in the Ye family extra meals on New Year's Eve.The Ye family reserves a lot of dried seafood. Considering the possible changes in the ocean, they only provide one meal of seafood per day.The Ye family does not lack fish and meat, but if they want to eat pork, it takes ten days and a half months to get their turn.
Now if the livestock can be slaughtered, they will not be slaughtered, and they are all counting on a large number of breeding next year so that the Ye family can eat a little every day.I'm used to being frugal, so I can't be so wronged on New Year's Eve, no matter what, I have to fix a table of decent meals to reward everyone for their hard work over the past year.
Each yard has its own small warehouse, including all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.The composition of each courtyard is different, and the materials allocated are also different.Except for the private materials distributed to the respective yards, which are decided by the stewards of each yard and a few people who have the right to speak, other public materials need to be allocated in a unified way, ranging from the renovation of the yard to the small amount of what to eat for each meal every day. .
The Jiang family manages the largest public warehouse in the entire Ye family, and if anything is missing in each yard, it must be reported to the Jiang family before it can be received.Jiang Jingzhi is responsible for the overall distribution of logistics materials. The stewards need to report various matters to Jiang Jingshang first, and only after obtaining his approval can they go to the public warehouse to pick up the missing materials.
The procedure is the same for material receipts. Materials are recorded in the account books when they are put into the warehouse or used directly. There are three copies.Since the division of labor has been clarified, there have been few discrepancies in the books, and occasional mistakes are not major problems and can be easily resolved.
The logistics are under Jiang Jingzhi's management, and Ye Mingze will help when he is free.Now the Ye family only has some bacon and sausages in stock, which is not much. If everyone in the Ye family wants to have a good meal, these are not enough, and some live poultry and livestock must be slaughtered.
Pigs eat a lot. Except for breeding pigs and sows that have been reserved for breeding, other pigs can be killed for everyone to eat as long as they grow to a certain extent. There is no such thing as waste.The other animals were similar, and now was the time for them to be fat and strong and suitable for slaughter.The Ye family kept enough seedlings, and the others were slaughtered and cooked in batches for storage.
Although there are a lot of meat, the Ye family can't eat it openly.These meats are related to their meat intake next year. Now that they have eaten them all in one go, they will just wait until they don't know the taste of meat in a few months next year.No one would like to see this kind of situation. For the wise decision made by the masters, the servants of the Ye family agree very much. You can't become fat with one breath, and the long flow of water is the normal state of living at home.
The Ye family has a total of [-] yards except the main house, and the number of people in each yard is not much different. The various meat and eggs allotted add up to at least [-] to [-] catties. On average, each person can eat more than two catties of meat .Of course, this is not to let them eat it in one meal. The meat is their meat consumption for the whole New Year's Eve. The masters of the Ye family don't care how they arrange it, and let each yard distribute it by themselves.As long as the stewards are fair, Ye Mingze and the others will not interfere.
The materials allocated to different positions are also different.As the stewards in charge of various logistical matters in a courtyard, their treatment is much better than that of ordinary servants. If they don't want to be caught by others and lose their good jobs, they must work hard and dare not be presumptuous in the slightest.Those with a little bit of ability are all staring at their positions, how dare they not do their best to do things for the master?
The meat distributed to each yard this time belongs to public goods, and everyone has a share.The distribution methods adopted by the stewards are similar, distributed according to the number of people, babies who cannot eat meat will be given half a catty of eggs each, those under ten years old will be given one and a half catties of meat and eggs, and those over ten years old will be given the rest equally. Meat and eggs.
No one has an opinion on this allocation plan.Even if you are a little cautious and feel that you are at a disadvantage because you have too many children, you can just say a few words, and then do what you should do.They also know that if they are allowed to distribute, they will not be able to come up with a better method of distribution.
All the servants in each courtyard are concentrated in three rooms, and each room is composed of several families living together. If one family cooks meat and the other family does not, it is estimated that that family cannot eat in peace.
So everyone agrees, as long as one family cooks meat, other families in the same room will also cook a similar amount of meat.Otherwise, if your family ate up all the meat, and watched other families eat meat happily, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?The reverse is also the same, you can't eat meat, and the children next to you are staring at you with drooling eyes, how can you eat with peace of mind?
The current weather makes both the cellar and the granary a natural ice storage.Most of the meat slaughtered in batches is directly frozen into the warehouse, and only a small part is made into various meat products such as sauced meat, bacon, and bacon that are easy to store.
There are only 16 Ye family masters in total, including five children who are less than ten years old.Of course they eat better than the servants, the servants of the Ye family know this well, no one will feel jealous because of this.
Instead, they think this is normal behavior.Thinking about it, the gap between the masters and the servants of the big families in the past was not much bigger than it is today.They are very satisfied with their current life, and they will never give up the comfortable life of being sheltered for such a small matter.
On New Year's Eve, at the beginning of You Shi, Ye Mingze's family gathered in his parents' room.
After a simple worship, dinner begins.The kang is very big, and more than a dozen people sit around the kang table.Unavoidably stained with stains, the kang was covered with oilcloth.With it, there is no need to worry about the three children Li Xue, Li Zhen and Lin Xiu eating food everywhere.Adults can also let go of their hands and feet, and don't have to be distracted to take care of the children. It is very enjoyable to eat.
The last time I entered Yangshan County, I still had some wine left over. The atmosphere is just right during the New Year’s Eve. It’s also a good time to eat meat and drink in big bowls.Fortunately, no one in the Ye family is addicted to alcohol, and the few people who drink don't need to be persuaded to drink. They can enjoy themselves with a sip of wine and side dishes.
To this scene, Lin Wenjue's family and Ye Mingze's family reacted very flatly, but Ye Zewu and Jiang's were most moved.Before we separated, there was no shortage of chicken, duck and fish on New Year's Eve, but I couldn't eat it without any scruples.At that time, Wen's family was still there, not to mention the two adults, even their own children had to suffer from Wen's eyes when they ate too much.In order to avoid conflicts, I would not eat if I could not eat.
Fortunately, the children are not soft-tempered, and they will definitely take a bite of what is due to them. For the sake of their parents, they will not pick up more chopsticks.With Mr. Ye present, Wen couldn't find a suitable excuse, so he could only squint at them with hatred.
Now that the family is separated, and the Wen family is gone, their family lives better in this troubled world.Now that I have two grandchildren, I have great expectations for the future.Ye Zewu and Jiang looked at the smiles on the faces of the children in the lower part, and they felt very happy from the bottom of their hearts.I really hope that all kinds of natural disasters and changes can pass away as soon as possible. They don't want their current days to be destroyed again. It would be great if they could continue like this.
Li Zhuang has not been in Ye's house for a short time, he has long been used to Ye's food.It's just that while eating, I still think of my grandparents occasionally, and I don't know how they are doing now.But these thoughts just passed by in a flash, and what should be paid is almost done. To be honest, he doesn't owe them anything.
Seeing Li Xue and Li Zhen eating with gusto, Li Zhuang's slightly wrinkled brows relaxed.Don't think about it, if you really meet, you can help me if you can, and if you don't, it's fate.The most important thing is to live a good life now, here is his wife and son, and relatives who don't regard themselves as outsiders. It is his greatest luck to be able to live in a corner in the troubled times.He must do his best to keep this square inch of the Ye family.
"Auntie, I want to eat glutinous rice balls, um, brother Lin Xiu wants too." Li Zhen is older than Lin Xiu, and now he has the self-consciousness of being an older brother.The Jiuniang Yuanzi was placed in front of Ye Liu, but he couldn't get it, so he asked Ye Liu for help.
"Brother, did you forget your brother? I didn't either!" Before Ye Liu moved his chopsticks, Li Xue was dissatisfied. How could his brother forget his brother?Li Xue didn't talk much on weekdays, but he didn't expect to get angry when he encountered this problem.
"Does my brother want to eat too? I thought my brother didn't like it. Well, auntie, you can pick some for my brother." Li Zhen was very surprised, Li Xue usually doesn't like to eat sweets when eating.Since his brother wanted it too, he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, and he was right to do what his brother said.
The adults didn't feel amused when they heard what the two brothers said.This is because Li Xue is jealous, Ye Liu has been with her two nephews for a long time, so she naturally knows that Li Xue doesn't like to enjoy sweets with meals.She had no intention of puncturing her eldest nephew, so she deliberately picked up two rice balls for him, which was regarded as the completion of the task.Afterwards, I picked up a few more for Li Zhen and Lin Xiu. It is not good to eat too much sweets, especially when eating. When the two children I caught this time finished eating, I advised them to eat other meals.
The children were still very obedient and didn't bother about it much.There are quite a lot of dishes on the table, including pasta and rice, which is enough for them to eat.Children have small appetites, and they are almost full after eating a few chopsticks for each dish.For the rest of the time, I just gnaw on the bones, eating with oil all over my hands and mouth.The adults didn't care about them, and let the three children eat happily there.
Children should not be spoiled too much, and they should not be controlled too strictly. It is difficult to grasp the appropriateness, and each family has its own experience.When parents discipline their children, it is best for others not to intervene. If there is anything that they disagree with, they should discuss it behind their children's backs with the parents.Obviously, the three children present are well-raised, and they will not be disgusting like a bear child, nor will they lose themselves in a dull manner.
Rice is more expensive. The last time Ye Mingze bought it was sorghum wine, which was not distilled and the alcohol content was not high.Everyone sipped and drank slowly, and no one was drunk until three times after drinking, and everyone was very sober.The temperature on the kang is relatively high, and the food freezes slowly on the kang, and the dishes are still slightly hot when they are eaten to their heart's content.
Except for Ye Zewu, Jiang Shi, and the three children, everyone else is in their prime, and human beings have mutated, so their appetites are bigger than before.At the end of the meal, half of the bowls and plates were bottomed out, and this was still under the condition of sufficient preparation.An increase in appetite is really not a good thing for human beings, and when there is a shortage of food, it will make things worse.
Jiang and Ye Zhi had already finished their meal, but Ye Liu had a good drinker and was still fighting.The two scooped up a small bowl of mushroom pork rib soup for each of the three children, and stopped letting them eat after the three of them finished drinking.Children can't control their own stomachs. It's not beautiful to have a full stomach during the New Year's Eve. Not only will they feel uncomfortable, but they will also worry the elders. It can only be controlled by adults.
After the children stopped, the drinkers enjoyed themselves, and the New Year's Eve dinner finally came to an end.There was still a lot of food left, and the people who came in to clean up the food were quick with their hands and feet, and soon the kang was clean and tidy again.The rest of the vegetables are distributed by the servants themselves, and can be used as a supper. If you don't want to eat them, you can keep them for tomorrow's breakfast for the masters.
The servants of the main house have long been accustomed to this distribution method, and the masters are generous. If they really don't want to eat leftovers, the masters will not be dissatisfied.Normally, the leftovers from the masters' meals would not be randomly distributed to the servants, but usually served as the second meal.
The chefs know the approximate meal size of each master and will not cook too much.Only on days like the New Year's Eve will the food be cooked richly, and the amount of dishes will be much larger.The master's table was better than that of the servants, they had nothing to dislike, each family divided some, in addition to supper for the burners of each family, there was still a little leftover, which could be used for extra meals for the children.
Not long after Kang cleaned up, Jiahui Jiayao woke up.The two little guys were considered considerate of their fathers and did not make trouble during the banquet.The two are almost six months old and can already crawl.It is difficult to move around in swaddling clothes when sleeping, and restless when waking up, unwilling to stay in the blanket, insisting on crawling around on the kang.
For this small request, no one is willing not to meet them.After the two little guys had enough to eat and drink, they were allowed to crawl freely in the middle of the kang.Lin Xiu and Li Zhen were still children, and they were very interested in their two younger brothers, so they gathered around them to have fun.After all, Li Xue was a little older and had begun to understand. He looked after his four younger brothers like a little adult.
Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi saw that their two sons were having a good time, and they were not making noise, so they let them toss around, and only glanced at the place where they were from time to time, and chatted happily with the people next to them when they saw that there was no problem. staring at the sky.
"Father, after all, there are only a small number of supernatural beings, and most of the greenhouse crops are growing normally. Now the weather is not only cold, but also foggy, and the outdoor light is not good, and the light intensity in the greenhouse is not enough. Can you see what is affecting the light? Can crops with low requirements be planted?" Ye Mingze is familiar with all kinds of food products, but he doesn't know much about crop growth.Of the dozen or so people here, Ye Zewu knows the most.
"I heard that some people will cultivate mushrooms. As far as I know, mushrooms seem to have the lowest light requirements. Others, I don't have a good idea for a while, and I will make a decision after discussing with experienced farmers. It’s too late.” Ye Zewu has been farming for half his life, and the things he grows are all grown in the sun, and he has never considered the issue of how much sunlight, which can be regarded as being driven by his eldest son to put ducks on the shelves.It is not easy for him to draw conclusions, and he needs to discuss carefully with experienced people before making a judgment.
"It's not urgent, at least we have to wait until the second batch of crops are mature before replanting. For mushrooms, as long as there are strains, there is no problem. If there are people with wood-type abilities, at least you don't have to worry about the crops failing." Discussed again After a while, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi went back to their room.
There is nothing to do at night, and the brightness of the oil lamp is not enough. Generally, everyone goes to bed early to rest.
There was no words all night, only the shallow breathing of a few people remained in the room.
In order to save firewood consumption, all the rooms of the Ye family will stop burning fire walls and floor heating before going to bed.In the whole room, only the square inch of the kang bed was warm, and as the cease-fire time went on, the temperature in other places gradually began to cool down until freezing.
Even so, no matter how low the indoor temperature is, it will be much higher than the outdoor temperature.After all, the room is airtight, and there is a kang that radiates heat to the surroundings. It is much better than staying outside.
In winter, the days are short and the dawn is late. In addition, to keep warm, once the inner wooden windows are closed, it is dark no matter whether it is day or night, making it difficult to distinguish whether it is day or night. Therefore, except for those who prepare breakfast, Everyone gets up late.
Everyone is very used to this, and it is the same in previous years, but this year is particularly cold, and this situation is especially obvious.This is the winter break, and there is not much work that needs everyone to do.At this time, people who are good at mending and making some small tools are the busiest.
As for other people, ordinary people (excluding all kinds of craftsmen who can work indoors) really have nothing to do except to learn Braille in the afternoon, and they just chat with their companions every day.Because more than a dozen people live on the same kang, they don’t even have to smoke. The air is already turbid and needs to be changed from time to time.
The craftsmen who can work indoors are the busiest. They have to learn from their respective masters, or they are masters themselves. In addition to taking care of apprentices, they also have to make clothes, bedding, baskets and wood for planting food for everyone next year. frame and so on.
Sentinel guides need to take time out to exercise their abilities, but they need to pay attention to proportion, not that the more intense the training, the better, and they must pay attention to the balance between work and rest.As a result, they are idle most of the day, or learn a little craft from the masters, or simply wait for work at leisure—referred to as rest.
No one would be jealous of those who are idle. They have different divisions of labor. Regardless of how idle they look now, when they are needed, their labor intensity must exceed that of those who still have work.This is also a different kind of relaxation.
The Ye family has developed the habit of eating three meals. Under the influence of the long-term biological clock, even if it enters the winter break, the adults will wake up at the latest.Usually, even children are not allowed to sleep late.Nowadays, most adults have nothing to do, and no one cares how late children sleep.Woke up late, and happened to save breakfast, which was considered an alternative food-saving behavior.
In cat winter season, most people in Yejia Village eat two meals a day, morning meal at Sishi and dinner at Shenshi.If you go to bed early and wake up late, if you don’t have a lot of activity, you won’t feel too hungry if you eat two meals, which is suitable for the current situation.
Jiahui Jiayao is a little older, and no longer needs to be fed once every one to two hours. The burden on Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi is much lighter.Sometimes it is enough for the two of them to wake up once or twice at night, and the little ones are really more and more worry-free.
Most of the time, Huihui and Yaoyao are the first to wake up in the morning.The two of them slept deeply today, and there was no sign of waking up at all.With children around, they couldn't sleep well every night, so the four of Ye Mingze naturally got up a little later than the others.This phenomenon does not only exist in them, but the situation in other houses with babies is similar to them.
When Jiang Jingzhi woke up, he was still dazed and staring, the room was so dark that he couldn't tell what night it was.Ye Mingze woke up to take care of his two sons last night, and the other three adults were inevitably awakened. Fortunately, they were very used to this, and soon fell asleep again.It's just that although the impact is small, it can't be regarded as no, can it?No, except for Jiang Jingzhi who just woke up, the other three are still soundly asleep.
Jiang Jingzhi's schedule is relatively normal, if there is no external cause, he will rarely wake up in the middle of the night.Although I don't know the time now, most likely the sky is already bright.Now everyone is in a hurry, Jiang Jingzhi didn't need to hurry, so he didn't get up immediately.He listened to Ye Mingze's shallow breathing and Jiahui Jiayao's occasional smacking of his lips, and he felt extremely calm.
Jiang Jingzhi opened his dark and deep eyes, and then realized that the blackness in the room was like a night, and it didn't matter whether he opened his eyes or not, so he closed his eyes again, but various thoughts flashed in his mind.There are too many facts that have happened in the past few years, and most of them have exceeded his cognition.
It seems that there are not many things that can hit him, but in fact he will be hesitant and at a loss, but these emotions are well hidden by him, and almost no one can detect them.Ye Mingze is naturally an exception. As the person next to the pillow, his five senses are sharp, and Jiang Jingzhi wants to cover up the flawless, which is really a bit difficult.
Regarding Ye Mingze, Jiang Jingzhi never thought of hiding it, and there was no need for that.Ye Mingze knew all kinds of his thoughts from the beginning to the present, but he was considerate and never pointed them out.Both of them are not the kind of people who only care about themselves and ignore others. As they spend more time together, they get along more and more harmoniously with each other. Until the arrival of Jiahui Jiayao's two little lives, this kind of relationship and tacit understanding reached a new level. high.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Seeing the prosperity and prosperity at home, Jiang Jingzhi's already soft face burst into a smile from the bottom of his heart.What could be more wonderful than being with your lover, children and relatives in troubled times?Jiang Jingzhi couldn't figure it out, and didn't even bother to think about it.
The environment in which he grew up told him to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and to give up his family for everyone, but he couldn't do it.Some people are for power, some are for money, some are for beauty, in order to get what they want, many people can act against their conscience.He has not only heard of but also experienced the things of following others and stepping on others to climb up.
Forget about villains and courtiers, you can't ask them to be good people. Those so-called gentlemen and loyal ministers actually make people feel a lot of embarrassment when they really think about it.The bad guys are completely bad, at least when they are alive, both themselves and their families have a good time.And those benevolent and righteous people are satisfied with themselves, but it is their family members who suffer.
As the saying goes, good people don't live long.Too upright and too righteous, the ending is mostly disastrous, and the only ones who pay for them in the end are their family members.Those who can live for a long time and live a fairly good life are mostly those who know the current affairs. They can be flexible and adapt to local conditions. They can neither be called villains nor gentlemen.
It is precisely such a person who silently contributes to the imperial court.They may not have made great achievements, but without them, the court would be overshadowed.
Due to Jiang Jingzhi's original position, he had to do something that was slightly contrary to his nature.After arriving at Yejia Village, he actually relaxed his tight strings and lived more easily.Sometimes when he thinks about it, he is not without emotion, wondering whether the troubled times caused by successive years of famines have brought him luck or misfortune.
Without this accident, maybe the Ye family would have risen, not to mention the glory of the Marquis Mansion, at least they would have enough food and clothing, and they wouldn't have to worry about losing their lives if they didn't pay attention all the time.At this time and at that time, who can guarantee that the Ye family after making a fortune will not encounter disasters like the Jiang family?
There are gains and losses, and Jiang Jingzhi is already very satisfied with the current situation.The Ye family is developing well. They have enough military force to protect their property, and they can earn their lives against the heavens. They are not worried about food and clothing. In this kind of life, many people can't ask for it, but he has it all.As long as some powerful force does not come from other places to plunder their village, presumably as long as they are not too unlucky, they can live like this for a long time.
Jiang Jingzhi is not a great person, he cannot be selfless, and his family and relatives are always put first.This is just right now, and he doesn't need to make any choice between family and country, just live his own life well.
After so many years, Jiang Jingzhi knows Ye Mingze well, at least he has a general idea of his temperament.Ye Mingze's temperament is relatively cold. Don't look at how much he takes care of his relatives. It's just that he has a strong sense of responsibility, and it doesn't mean that he has deep feelings for his relatives.
On this point, only people like Jiang Jingzhi who stayed with Ye Mingze for a long time could notice it, even Ye Mingze's close family members could not feel the abnormality.
This really can't be blamed on Ye Mingze, he is not the original owner, he only inherited the memory of the original body, spent a few years with his parents and sisters, no matter how strange the feeling is, the feeling of being unfamiliar has subtly subtly faded over a long period of time, and the relationship has naturally become deeper and deeper.And he and his relatives didn't meet much in a year, and they took over halfway, so it's normal that the relationship can be maintained in the current situation.
Ye Mingze is not a person of this era. If he hadn't married Jiang Jingzhi early on, and there was no close person around him who could serve as his emotional sustenance, he might be so lonely now.
Speaking of which, the two are really destined.Ye Mingze solved Jiang Jingzhi's dilemma, and Jiang Jingzhi became the bridge for Ye Mingze to live in peace in the Daxing Dynasty.With him, Ye Mingze will not feel that he is alone and always out of tune with this world.If there is no Jiang Jingzhi, Ye Mingze will live a good life for the original owner and for the current family, but living like that is too passive and tiring.
Now Ye Mingze not only has a lover, but also two lovely sons, life is more exciting.Even if it is not for himself, for Jiang Jingzhi and his sons, he has to work hard to support the sky.He is no longer a ghost from another world, he has a lover and family who need his care, and the image of Ye Mingze becomes more and more vivid in Jiang Jingzhi's eyes.
Once people have sustenance, their emotions will naturally be gradually released.This is what Jiang Jingzhi feels the most.From Ye Mingze's unnoticeable indifference at the beginning to the warm interaction with Jiahui Jiayao now, Ye Mingze's blooming emotions are getting stronger and stronger, and it is hard to see the loneliness that did not blend in with others back then.
Not only Ye Mingze, but Jiang Jingzhi himself is also very different from the people around him.His origin and his upbringing can easily be distinguished from the villagers.Even though a few years have passed, the temperament cultivated since childhood has not been fully integrated into it, but has been continuously diluted. At first glance, it will not be so out of tune with the surroundings.
Most of the Jiang family members are in the same situation as Jiang Jingzhi.It's just that they have more contact with the villagers and seem to be more close to the people.
Jiang Jingzhi's thoughts surged, and the bland and real scenes with Ye Mingze flashed in his mind, as if he was isolated from the surroundings and placed in an independent space.
Once a person falls into a certain atmosphere, time is negligible.When Jiang Jingzhi woke up, Lin Wenjue and Cai Jin had already gotten up.It seemed that it was getting late, the fire wall and floor heating started to work, and the room was full of warmth.
Everyone had long been used to the dim room that greeted them when they woke up in the morning. Lin Wenjue put on his outer robe and fumbled to open the inner wooden window. The dim light dispelled the darkness immediately.The light is soft and not glaring. It is almost a blink of an eye for a few people to step from the darkness to the light, and there is no need to close their eyes to adapt.
When the windows were originally designed, they were relatively wide. Originally, there were two layers of solid wood windows inside and out, and the middle layer was a normal wooden lattice window pasted with window paper. Because of the low temperature this year, another layer of windows was added, and the middle layer The windows are identical.
In this way, the light transmission will not be weakened too much, and the warmth in the house will not be lost too quickly.Although the brightness is not enough, it is convenient for daily life.With this slight change, a lot of lamp oil can be saved, which everyone likes to hear.
At present, many materials are used less and less, and it will take some time to be completely self-sufficient.In the past, lamp oil was purchased from shops, but now they use homemade lamp oil, with various formulas, pine resin, fish oil, vegetable oil mixed with other miscellaneous things, after the skillful hands of the masters, it is not at all difficult to use. It is inferior to the oil lamps used in the past.
People are pushed into a hurry, and their potential can not be underestimated.If the masters had this skill in the past, they would not be so downcast that they want to sell themselves to others. Who knows if they gain or lose?
Although kerosene can be made by yourself, the materials used to make kerosene cannot be wasted. Naturally, a little bit can be saved.Who let most of them be ingredients, in the current world, there is nothing more precious than food, and everyone cherishes it very much.
It is also this year that the Ye family has a little surplus of food.We still don't know when the famine will end. When it comes to dealing with food, it's too late for everyone, so who dares to waste money?
Jiang Jingzhi glanced at the hourglass in the dim light, and found that it was almost midnight, so he didn't dawdle, and got dressed quickly and got up.Among the four, Ye Mingze was a fifth-level sentinel. He was sensitive to five senses, so he would wake up when there was any movement.It seemed that he was used to the breath of several people, even getting up, getting out of the kang and opening the window failed to disturb his sweet dreams.
Don't look at him sleeping in the dark, looking like he can't wake up no matter how much he sleeps, if a strange smell suddenly appears in the room, what is waiting for them is Ye Mingze, whose dream has been disturbed, with a tyrannical look on his face.Is this a different kind of waking up?
Ye Mingze himself didn't get angry. No one had seen such a face before. I wonder who would be lucky enough to try it first?
After Jiang Jingzhi took care of himself, he took a look at Jiahui Jiayao's situation, and seeing that he hadn't pooped or urinated, he began to warm the milk.Seeing that it was getting late, Cai Jin woke up little friend Lin Xiu.Lin Xiu fell into a drowsy sleep, and didn't wake up until he finished dressing and wiped his face.
At this time, Lin Wenjue had already rang the bell.Today it was Zhang Sen*'s turn. As soon as the two of them heard the summons from their masters, they warmed up the meal they had prepared earlier, and then quickly entered the room with the food box.The food includes not only breakfast for five people, but also breakfast for three leopards.
The leopards have been impatient for a whole winter in the house.Fortunately, they are full of spirituality, no matter how impatient they are, they will occasionally go out of the house to let the wind out, and when they feel cold, they will return to their warm nests.At this point, they were already hungry, and when they saw the food, they buried their heads in hard work, and even Jiang Jingzhi, who fed them, ignored them.It wasn't until I was full and full that I regained some energy.
The leopards only ate the food fed by Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi. It's not that no one had tried it, but they all liked to ignore it, so everyone rested their minds.
Zhang Sen* quickly set up the kang table, placed the meals in the food box in appropriate positions, and left the room after finishing his work.
In view of the fact that there were still people immersed in sleep, the few people only ate quietly without making too much noise.
Ye Mingze was awakened by the smell of food. Although there was a curtain in the middle, it couldn't stop the smell of food from invading the whole room.
As soon as Fu opened his eyes, Ye Mingze didn't see anyone. Combined with the appetizing smell of the food, he didn't need to think about it to know that Jiang Jingzhi was eating on the kang of Lin Wenjue's family.Now that he had woken up and was aroused again, Ye Mingze didn't delay any longer. He dressed and washed in a few moments, lifted the curtain, took the food box that was put aside, picked up his portion and started to eat.
The breakfast is simple and delicious.Ye Mingze eats noodles, dumplings, steamed buns and various porridges most often. Today is just dumplings. He has a big appetite. A large bowl of pork, tofu and dumplings went into his stomach in two or three bites. After eating, he still feels unsatisfied Feel.He opened the second layer of the food box and took a look. Sure enough, there were two big leek meat buns inside. After taking them apart and eating them, he finally felt full.
Ye Mingze stretched his body comfortably, lazily like a satiated cat.Maybe it was because he was really hungry, Ye Mingze ate faster, and he was the one who ate the last meal first.
Jiang Jingzhi, Lin Wenjue and Cai Jin all have good backgrounds and strict upbringing. When they eat meals, they eat them slowly and elegantly. How can they be like Ye Mingze?
It's freezing cold outside, and in previous years, New Year's Eve is the busiest time of the year.No matter how poor the family is, they will prepare a table of sumptuous dishes within their ability.In the past, even if the adults were gloomy, they would still show a smile at the end of the year.
This year most people are not in the mood for the festival.On the one hand, they have to worry about the extremely cold weather, and on the other hand, they have to cut down on food and clothing in order to prepare for a longer period of time next year.Judging from the current situation, it is uncertain whether there will be a harvest next year, and people's worries are not groundless.
The Ye Family has the largest population in Ye Family Village, followed by the wealthy Dong Family in the village.Except for these two families, other families range from three to five people to as many as twenty or thirty people.With such a small number of people, it is difficult to survive in today's world with the strength of a family.Everyone is not stupid. Knowing that the situation next year will be worrying, several close families have formed small groups to help each other.In this way, the resources of each company are utilized to the maximum extent.
Due to the population, the average number of supernatural beings owned by each family in Yejia Village is less than two.There are many types of supernatural powers. There may only be one out of a few of the wood-type powers, fire-type powers, and water-type powers that are effective for crop growth. It is impossible to grow high-yield crops without the cooperation of several companies. crops.
Among the three abilities, the wood-type ability has the greatest impact on the yield per mu, followed by the fire-type ability, and then the water-type ability.Wood-type abilities can not only shorten the growth time of crops, but also provide a large amount of unknown nutrients needed for crop growth, as long as there are wood-type abilities
Continuously cast wood-type abilities on the crops, even without the other two abilities, the yield per mu of crops will be much higher than that of normal-grown crops.The fire-type ability can provide enough light for the crops, and the water-type ability can not only purify the special substances brought by the red rain, but also provide crops
A small amount of nutrients, but the effect is not very obvious.Therefore, under normal circumstances, the people with the ability of the water system of the Ye family only purify the well water for everyone, and if there is any leftover ability, they will sprinkle it on the crops that need to be watered.
The situation in Yejia Village is much better than outside, but it's cold and snowy, no matter how lively the house is, the sound cannot be heard outside.In previous years, during the Chinese New Year in the village, there was an occasional door-opener. This year, the weather was too cold, and everyone was nestled on the warm kang, and even the thought of door-breaking stopped.
It's the Chinese New Year, a dull winter, and it's rare to meet a festive day. After discussing with his family, Ye Mingze decided to give everyone in the Ye family extra meals on New Year's Eve.The Ye family reserves a lot of dried seafood. Considering the possible changes in the ocean, they only provide one meal of seafood per day.The Ye family does not lack fish and meat, but if they want to eat pork, it takes ten days and a half months to get their turn.
Now if the livestock can be slaughtered, they will not be slaughtered, and they are all counting on a large number of breeding next year so that the Ye family can eat a little every day.I'm used to being frugal, so I can't be so wronged on New Year's Eve, no matter what, I have to fix a table of decent meals to reward everyone for their hard work over the past year.
Each yard has its own small warehouse, including all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.The composition of each courtyard is different, and the materials allocated are also different.Except for the private materials distributed to the respective yards, which are decided by the stewards of each yard and a few people who have the right to speak, other public materials need to be allocated in a unified way, ranging from the renovation of the yard to the small amount of what to eat for each meal every day. .
The Jiang family manages the largest public warehouse in the entire Ye family, and if anything is missing in each yard, it must be reported to the Jiang family before it can be received.Jiang Jingzhi is responsible for the overall distribution of logistics materials. The stewards need to report various matters to Jiang Jingshang first, and only after obtaining his approval can they go to the public warehouse to pick up the missing materials.
The procedure is the same for material receipts. Materials are recorded in the account books when they are put into the warehouse or used directly. There are three copies.Since the division of labor has been clarified, there have been few discrepancies in the books, and occasional mistakes are not major problems and can be easily resolved.
The logistics are under Jiang Jingzhi's management, and Ye Mingze will help when he is free.Now the Ye family only has some bacon and sausages in stock, which is not much. If everyone in the Ye family wants to have a good meal, these are not enough, and some live poultry and livestock must be slaughtered.
Pigs eat a lot. Except for breeding pigs and sows that have been reserved for breeding, other pigs can be killed for everyone to eat as long as they grow to a certain extent. There is no such thing as waste.The other animals were similar, and now was the time for them to be fat and strong and suitable for slaughter.The Ye family kept enough seedlings, and the others were slaughtered and cooked in batches for storage.
Although there are a lot of meat, the Ye family can't eat it openly.These meats are related to their meat intake next year. Now that they have eaten them all in one go, they will just wait until they don't know the taste of meat in a few months next year.No one would like to see this kind of situation. For the wise decision made by the masters, the servants of the Ye family agree very much. You can't become fat with one breath, and the long flow of water is the normal state of living at home.
The Ye family has a total of [-] yards except the main house, and the number of people in each yard is not much different. The various meat and eggs allotted add up to at least [-] to [-] catties. On average, each person can eat more than two catties of meat .Of course, this is not to let them eat it in one meal. The meat is their meat consumption for the whole New Year's Eve. The masters of the Ye family don't care how they arrange it, and let each yard distribute it by themselves.As long as the stewards are fair, Ye Mingze and the others will not interfere.
The materials allocated to different positions are also different.As the stewards in charge of various logistical matters in a courtyard, their treatment is much better than that of ordinary servants. If they don't want to be caught by others and lose their good jobs, they must work hard and dare not be presumptuous in the slightest.Those with a little bit of ability are all staring at their positions, how dare they not do their best to do things for the master?
The meat distributed to each yard this time belongs to public goods, and everyone has a share.The distribution methods adopted by the stewards are similar, distributed according to the number of people, babies who cannot eat meat will be given half a catty of eggs each, those under ten years old will be given one and a half catties of meat and eggs, and those over ten years old will be given the rest equally. Meat and eggs.
No one has an opinion on this allocation plan.Even if you are a little cautious and feel that you are at a disadvantage because you have too many children, you can just say a few words, and then do what you should do.They also know that if they are allowed to distribute, they will not be able to come up with a better method of distribution.
All the servants in each courtyard are concentrated in three rooms, and each room is composed of several families living together. If one family cooks meat and the other family does not, it is estimated that that family cannot eat in peace.
So everyone agrees, as long as one family cooks meat, other families in the same room will also cook a similar amount of meat.Otherwise, if your family ate up all the meat, and watched other families eat meat happily, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?The reverse is also the same, you can't eat meat, and the children next to you are staring at you with drooling eyes, how can you eat with peace of mind?
The current weather makes both the cellar and the granary a natural ice storage.Most of the meat slaughtered in batches is directly frozen into the warehouse, and only a small part is made into various meat products such as sauced meat, bacon, and bacon that are easy to store.
There are only 16 Ye family masters in total, including five children who are less than ten years old.Of course they eat better than the servants, the servants of the Ye family know this well, no one will feel jealous because of this.
Instead, they think this is normal behavior.Thinking about it, the gap between the masters and the servants of the big families in the past was not much bigger than it is today.They are very satisfied with their current life, and they will never give up the comfortable life of being sheltered for such a small matter.
On New Year's Eve, at the beginning of You Shi, Ye Mingze's family gathered in his parents' room.
After a simple worship, dinner begins.The kang is very big, and more than a dozen people sit around the kang table.Unavoidably stained with stains, the kang was covered with oilcloth.With it, there is no need to worry about the three children Li Xue, Li Zhen and Lin Xiu eating food everywhere.Adults can also let go of their hands and feet, and don't have to be distracted to take care of the children. It is very enjoyable to eat.
The last time I entered Yangshan County, I still had some wine left over. The atmosphere is just right during the New Year’s Eve. It’s also a good time to eat meat and drink in big bowls.Fortunately, no one in the Ye family is addicted to alcohol, and the few people who drink don't need to be persuaded to drink. They can enjoy themselves with a sip of wine and side dishes.
To this scene, Lin Wenjue's family and Ye Mingze's family reacted very flatly, but Ye Zewu and Jiang's were most moved.Before we separated, there was no shortage of chicken, duck and fish on New Year's Eve, but I couldn't eat it without any scruples.At that time, Wen's family was still there, not to mention the two adults, even their own children had to suffer from Wen's eyes when they ate too much.In order to avoid conflicts, I would not eat if I could not eat.
Fortunately, the children are not soft-tempered, and they will definitely take a bite of what is due to them. For the sake of their parents, they will not pick up more chopsticks.With Mr. Ye present, Wen couldn't find a suitable excuse, so he could only squint at them with hatred.
Now that the family is separated, and the Wen family is gone, their family lives better in this troubled world.Now that I have two grandchildren, I have great expectations for the future.Ye Zewu and Jiang looked at the smiles on the faces of the children in the lower part, and they felt very happy from the bottom of their hearts.I really hope that all kinds of natural disasters and changes can pass away as soon as possible. They don't want their current days to be destroyed again. It would be great if they could continue like this.
Li Zhuang has not been in Ye's house for a short time, he has long been used to Ye's food.It's just that while eating, I still think of my grandparents occasionally, and I don't know how they are doing now.But these thoughts just passed by in a flash, and what should be paid is almost done. To be honest, he doesn't owe them anything.
Seeing Li Xue and Li Zhen eating with gusto, Li Zhuang's slightly wrinkled brows relaxed.Don't think about it, if you really meet, you can help me if you can, and if you don't, it's fate.The most important thing is to live a good life now, here is his wife and son, and relatives who don't regard themselves as outsiders. It is his greatest luck to be able to live in a corner in the troubled times.He must do his best to keep this square inch of the Ye family.
"Auntie, I want to eat glutinous rice balls, um, brother Lin Xiu wants too." Li Zhen is older than Lin Xiu, and now he has the self-consciousness of being an older brother.The Jiuniang Yuanzi was placed in front of Ye Liu, but he couldn't get it, so he asked Ye Liu for help.
"Brother, did you forget your brother? I didn't either!" Before Ye Liu moved his chopsticks, Li Xue was dissatisfied. How could his brother forget his brother?Li Xue didn't talk much on weekdays, but he didn't expect to get angry when he encountered this problem.
"Does my brother want to eat too? I thought my brother didn't like it. Well, auntie, you can pick some for my brother." Li Zhen was very surprised, Li Xue usually doesn't like to eat sweets when eating.Since his brother wanted it too, he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, and he was right to do what his brother said.
The adults didn't feel amused when they heard what the two brothers said.This is because Li Xue is jealous, Ye Liu has been with her two nephews for a long time, so she naturally knows that Li Xue doesn't like to enjoy sweets with meals.She had no intention of puncturing her eldest nephew, so she deliberately picked up two rice balls for him, which was regarded as the completion of the task.Afterwards, I picked up a few more for Li Zhen and Lin Xiu. It is not good to eat too much sweets, especially when eating. When the two children I caught this time finished eating, I advised them to eat other meals.
The children were still very obedient and didn't bother about it much.There are quite a lot of dishes on the table, including pasta and rice, which is enough for them to eat.Children have small appetites, and they are almost full after eating a few chopsticks for each dish.For the rest of the time, I just gnaw on the bones, eating with oil all over my hands and mouth.The adults didn't care about them, and let the three children eat happily there.
Children should not be spoiled too much, and they should not be controlled too strictly. It is difficult to grasp the appropriateness, and each family has its own experience.When parents discipline their children, it is best for others not to intervene. If there is anything that they disagree with, they should discuss it behind their children's backs with the parents.Obviously, the three children present are well-raised, and they will not be disgusting like a bear child, nor will they lose themselves in a dull manner.
Rice is more expensive. The last time Ye Mingze bought it was sorghum wine, which was not distilled and the alcohol content was not high.Everyone sipped and drank slowly, and no one was drunk until three times after drinking, and everyone was very sober.The temperature on the kang is relatively high, and the food freezes slowly on the kang, and the dishes are still slightly hot when they are eaten to their heart's content.
Except for Ye Zewu, Jiang Shi, and the three children, everyone else is in their prime, and human beings have mutated, so their appetites are bigger than before.At the end of the meal, half of the bowls and plates were bottomed out, and this was still under the condition of sufficient preparation.An increase in appetite is really not a good thing for human beings, and when there is a shortage of food, it will make things worse.
Jiang and Ye Zhi had already finished their meal, but Ye Liu had a good drinker and was still fighting.The two scooped up a small bowl of mushroom pork rib soup for each of the three children, and stopped letting them eat after the three of them finished drinking.Children can't control their own stomachs. It's not beautiful to have a full stomach during the New Year's Eve. Not only will they feel uncomfortable, but they will also worry the elders. It can only be controlled by adults.
After the children stopped, the drinkers enjoyed themselves, and the New Year's Eve dinner finally came to an end.There was still a lot of food left, and the people who came in to clean up the food were quick with their hands and feet, and soon the kang was clean and tidy again.The rest of the vegetables are distributed by the servants themselves, and can be used as a supper. If you don't want to eat them, you can keep them for tomorrow's breakfast for the masters.
The servants of the main house have long been accustomed to this distribution method, and the masters are generous. If they really don't want to eat leftovers, the masters will not be dissatisfied.Normally, the leftovers from the masters' meals would not be randomly distributed to the servants, but usually served as the second meal.
The chefs know the approximate meal size of each master and will not cook too much.Only on days like the New Year's Eve will the food be cooked richly, and the amount of dishes will be much larger.The master's table was better than that of the servants, they had nothing to dislike, each family divided some, in addition to supper for the burners of each family, there was still a little leftover, which could be used for extra meals for the children.
Not long after Kang cleaned up, Jiahui Jiayao woke up.The two little guys were considered considerate of their fathers and did not make trouble during the banquet.The two are almost six months old and can already crawl.It is difficult to move around in swaddling clothes when sleeping, and restless when waking up, unwilling to stay in the blanket, insisting on crawling around on the kang.
For this small request, no one is willing not to meet them.After the two little guys had enough to eat and drink, they were allowed to crawl freely in the middle of the kang.Lin Xiu and Li Zhen were still children, and they were very interested in their two younger brothers, so they gathered around them to have fun.After all, Li Xue was a little older and had begun to understand. He looked after his four younger brothers like a little adult.
Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi saw that their two sons were having a good time, and they were not making noise, so they let them toss around, and only glanced at the place where they were from time to time, and chatted happily with the people next to them when they saw that there was no problem. staring at the sky.
"Father, after all, there are only a small number of supernatural beings, and most of the greenhouse crops are growing normally. Now the weather is not only cold, but also foggy, and the outdoor light is not good, and the light intensity in the greenhouse is not enough. Can you see what is affecting the light? Can crops with low requirements be planted?" Ye Mingze is familiar with all kinds of food products, but he doesn't know much about crop growth.Of the dozen or so people here, Ye Zewu knows the most.
"I heard that some people will cultivate mushrooms. As far as I know, mushrooms seem to have the lowest light requirements. Others, I don't have a good idea for a while, and I will make a decision after discussing with experienced farmers. It’s too late.” Ye Zewu has been farming for half his life, and the things he grows are all grown in the sun, and he has never considered the issue of how much sunlight, which can be regarded as being driven by his eldest son to put ducks on the shelves.It is not easy for him to draw conclusions, and he needs to discuss carefully with experienced people before making a judgment.
"It's not urgent, at least we have to wait until the second batch of crops are mature before replanting. For mushrooms, as long as there are strains, there is no problem. If there are people with wood-type abilities, at least you don't have to worry about the crops failing." Discussed again After a while, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi went back to their room.
There is nothing to do at night, and the brightness of the oil lamp is not enough. Generally, everyone goes to bed early to rest.
There was no words all night, only the shallow breathing of a few people remained in the room.
In order to save firewood consumption, all the rooms of the Ye family will stop burning fire walls and floor heating before going to bed.In the whole room, only the square inch of the kang bed was warm, and as the cease-fire time went on, the temperature in other places gradually began to cool down until freezing.
Even so, no matter how low the indoor temperature is, it will be much higher than the outdoor temperature.After all, the room is airtight, and there is a kang that radiates heat to the surroundings. It is much better than staying outside.
In winter, the days are short and the dawn is late. In addition, to keep warm, once the inner wooden windows are closed, it is dark no matter whether it is day or night, making it difficult to distinguish whether it is day or night. Therefore, except for those who prepare breakfast, Everyone gets up late.
Everyone is very used to this, and it is the same in previous years, but this year is particularly cold, and this situation is especially obvious.This is the winter break, and there is not much work that needs everyone to do.At this time, people who are good at mending and making some small tools are the busiest.
As for other people, ordinary people (excluding all kinds of craftsmen who can work indoors) really have nothing to do except to learn Braille in the afternoon, and they just chat with their companions every day.Because more than a dozen people live on the same kang, they don’t even have to smoke. The air is already turbid and needs to be changed from time to time.
The craftsmen who can work indoors are the busiest. They have to learn from their respective masters, or they are masters themselves. In addition to taking care of apprentices, they also have to make clothes, bedding, baskets and wood for planting food for everyone next year. frame and so on.
Sentinel guides need to take time out to exercise their abilities, but they need to pay attention to proportion, not that the more intense the training, the better, and they must pay attention to the balance between work and rest.As a result, they are idle most of the day, or learn a little craft from the masters, or simply wait for work at leisure—referred to as rest.
No one would be jealous of those who are idle. They have different divisions of labor. Regardless of how idle they look now, when they are needed, their labor intensity must exceed that of those who still have work.This is also a different kind of relaxation.
The Ye family has developed the habit of eating three meals. Under the influence of the long-term biological clock, even if it enters the winter break, the adults will wake up at the latest.Usually, even children are not allowed to sleep late.Nowadays, most adults have nothing to do, and no one cares how late children sleep.Woke up late, and happened to save breakfast, which was considered an alternative food-saving behavior.
In cat winter season, most people in Yejia Village eat two meals a day, morning meal at Sishi and dinner at Shenshi.If you go to bed early and wake up late, if you don’t have a lot of activity, you won’t feel too hungry if you eat two meals, which is suitable for the current situation.
Jiahui Jiayao is a little older, and no longer needs to be fed once every one to two hours. The burden on Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi is much lighter.Sometimes it is enough for the two of them to wake up once or twice at night, and the little ones are really more and more worry-free.
Most of the time, Huihui and Yaoyao are the first to wake up in the morning.The two of them slept deeply today, and there was no sign of waking up at all.With children around, they couldn't sleep well every night, so the four of Ye Mingze naturally got up a little later than the others.This phenomenon does not only exist in them, but the situation in other houses with babies is similar to them.
When Jiang Jingzhi woke up, he was still dazed and staring, the room was so dark that he couldn't tell what night it was.Ye Mingze woke up to take care of his two sons last night, and the other three adults were inevitably awakened. Fortunately, they were very used to this, and soon fell asleep again.It's just that although the impact is small, it can't be regarded as no, can it?No, except for Jiang Jingzhi who just woke up, the other three are still soundly asleep.
Jiang Jingzhi's schedule is relatively normal, if there is no external cause, he will rarely wake up in the middle of the night.Although I don't know the time now, most likely the sky is already bright.Now everyone is in a hurry, Jiang Jingzhi didn't need to hurry, so he didn't get up immediately.He listened to Ye Mingze's shallow breathing and Jiahui Jiayao's occasional smacking of his lips, and he felt extremely calm.
Jiang Jingzhi opened his dark and deep eyes, and then realized that the blackness in the room was like a night, and it didn't matter whether he opened his eyes or not, so he closed his eyes again, but various thoughts flashed in his mind.There are too many facts that have happened in the past few years, and most of them have exceeded his cognition.
It seems that there are not many things that can hit him, but in fact he will be hesitant and at a loss, but these emotions are well hidden by him, and almost no one can detect them.Ye Mingze is naturally an exception. As the person next to the pillow, his five senses are sharp, and Jiang Jingzhi wants to cover up the flawless, which is really a bit difficult.
Regarding Ye Mingze, Jiang Jingzhi never thought of hiding it, and there was no need for that.Ye Mingze knew all kinds of his thoughts from the beginning to the present, but he was considerate and never pointed them out.Both of them are not the kind of people who only care about themselves and ignore others. As they spend more time together, they get along more and more harmoniously with each other. Until the arrival of Jiahui Jiayao's two little lives, this kind of relationship and tacit understanding reached a new level. high.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Seeing the prosperity and prosperity at home, Jiang Jingzhi's already soft face burst into a smile from the bottom of his heart.What could be more wonderful than being with your lover, children and relatives in troubled times?Jiang Jingzhi couldn't figure it out, and didn't even bother to think about it.
The environment in which he grew up told him to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and to give up his family for everyone, but he couldn't do it.Some people are for power, some are for money, some are for beauty, in order to get what they want, many people can act against their conscience.He has not only heard of but also experienced the things of following others and stepping on others to climb up.
Forget about villains and courtiers, you can't ask them to be good people. Those so-called gentlemen and loyal ministers actually make people feel a lot of embarrassment when they really think about it.The bad guys are completely bad, at least when they are alive, both themselves and their families have a good time.And those benevolent and righteous people are satisfied with themselves, but it is their family members who suffer.
As the saying goes, good people don't live long.Too upright and too righteous, the ending is mostly disastrous, and the only ones who pay for them in the end are their family members.Those who can live for a long time and live a fairly good life are mostly those who know the current affairs. They can be flexible and adapt to local conditions. They can neither be called villains nor gentlemen.
It is precisely such a person who silently contributes to the imperial court.They may not have made great achievements, but without them, the court would be overshadowed.
Due to Jiang Jingzhi's original position, he had to do something that was slightly contrary to his nature.After arriving at Yejia Village, he actually relaxed his tight strings and lived more easily.Sometimes when he thinks about it, he is not without emotion, wondering whether the troubled times caused by successive years of famines have brought him luck or misfortune.
Without this accident, maybe the Ye family would have risen, not to mention the glory of the Marquis Mansion, at least they would have enough food and clothing, and they wouldn't have to worry about losing their lives if they didn't pay attention all the time.At this time and at that time, who can guarantee that the Ye family after making a fortune will not encounter disasters like the Jiang family?
There are gains and losses, and Jiang Jingzhi is already very satisfied with the current situation.The Ye family is developing well. They have enough military force to protect their property, and they can earn their lives against the heavens. They are not worried about food and clothing. In this kind of life, many people can't ask for it, but he has it all.As long as some powerful force does not come from other places to plunder their village, presumably as long as they are not too unlucky, they can live like this for a long time.
Jiang Jingzhi is not a great person, he cannot be selfless, and his family and relatives are always put first.This is just right now, and he doesn't need to make any choice between family and country, just live his own life well.
After so many years, Jiang Jingzhi knows Ye Mingze well, at least he has a general idea of his temperament.Ye Mingze's temperament is relatively cold. Don't look at how much he takes care of his relatives. It's just that he has a strong sense of responsibility, and it doesn't mean that he has deep feelings for his relatives.
On this point, only people like Jiang Jingzhi who stayed with Ye Mingze for a long time could notice it, even Ye Mingze's close family members could not feel the abnormality.
This really can't be blamed on Ye Mingze, he is not the original owner, he only inherited the memory of the original body, spent a few years with his parents and sisters, no matter how strange the feeling is, the feeling of being unfamiliar has subtly subtly faded over a long period of time, and the relationship has naturally become deeper and deeper.And he and his relatives didn't meet much in a year, and they took over halfway, so it's normal that the relationship can be maintained in the current situation.
Ye Mingze is not a person of this era. If he hadn't married Jiang Jingzhi early on, and there was no close person around him who could serve as his emotional sustenance, he might be so lonely now.
Speaking of which, the two are really destined.Ye Mingze solved Jiang Jingzhi's dilemma, and Jiang Jingzhi became the bridge for Ye Mingze to live in peace in the Daxing Dynasty.With him, Ye Mingze will not feel that he is alone and always out of tune with this world.If there is no Jiang Jingzhi, Ye Mingze will live a good life for the original owner and for the current family, but living like that is too passive and tiring.
Now Ye Mingze not only has a lover, but also two lovely sons, life is more exciting.Even if it is not for himself, for Jiang Jingzhi and his sons, he has to work hard to support the sky.He is no longer a ghost from another world, he has a lover and family who need his care, and the image of Ye Mingze becomes more and more vivid in Jiang Jingzhi's eyes.
Once people have sustenance, their emotions will naturally be gradually released.This is what Jiang Jingzhi feels the most.From Ye Mingze's unnoticeable indifference at the beginning to the warm interaction with Jiahui Jiayao now, Ye Mingze's blooming emotions are getting stronger and stronger, and it is hard to see the loneliness that did not blend in with others back then.
Not only Ye Mingze, but Jiang Jingzhi himself is also very different from the people around him.His origin and his upbringing can easily be distinguished from the villagers.Even though a few years have passed, the temperament cultivated since childhood has not been fully integrated into it, but has been continuously diluted. At first glance, it will not be so out of tune with the surroundings.
Most of the Jiang family members are in the same situation as Jiang Jingzhi.It's just that they have more contact with the villagers and seem to be more close to the people.
Jiang Jingzhi's thoughts surged, and the bland and real scenes with Ye Mingze flashed in his mind, as if he was isolated from the surroundings and placed in an independent space.
Once a person falls into a certain atmosphere, time is negligible.When Jiang Jingzhi woke up, Lin Wenjue and Cai Jin had already gotten up.It seemed that it was getting late, the fire wall and floor heating started to work, and the room was full of warmth.
Everyone had long been used to the dim room that greeted them when they woke up in the morning. Lin Wenjue put on his outer robe and fumbled to open the inner wooden window. The dim light dispelled the darkness immediately.The light is soft and not glaring. It is almost a blink of an eye for a few people to step from the darkness to the light, and there is no need to close their eyes to adapt.
When the windows were originally designed, they were relatively wide. Originally, there were two layers of solid wood windows inside and out, and the middle layer was a normal wooden lattice window pasted with window paper. Because of the low temperature this year, another layer of windows was added, and the middle layer The windows are identical.
In this way, the light transmission will not be weakened too much, and the warmth in the house will not be lost too quickly.Although the brightness is not enough, it is convenient for daily life.With this slight change, a lot of lamp oil can be saved, which everyone likes to hear.
At present, many materials are used less and less, and it will take some time to be completely self-sufficient.In the past, lamp oil was purchased from shops, but now they use homemade lamp oil, with various formulas, pine resin, fish oil, vegetable oil mixed with other miscellaneous things, after the skillful hands of the masters, it is not at all difficult to use. It is inferior to the oil lamps used in the past.
People are pushed into a hurry, and their potential can not be underestimated.If the masters had this skill in the past, they would not be so downcast that they want to sell themselves to others. Who knows if they gain or lose?
Although kerosene can be made by yourself, the materials used to make kerosene cannot be wasted. Naturally, a little bit can be saved.Who let most of them be ingredients, in the current world, there is nothing more precious than food, and everyone cherishes it very much.
It is also this year that the Ye family has a little surplus of food.We still don't know when the famine will end. When it comes to dealing with food, it's too late for everyone, so who dares to waste money?
Jiang Jingzhi glanced at the hourglass in the dim light, and found that it was almost midnight, so he didn't dawdle, and got dressed quickly and got up.Among the four, Ye Mingze was a fifth-level sentinel. He was sensitive to five senses, so he would wake up when there was any movement.It seemed that he was used to the breath of several people, even getting up, getting out of the kang and opening the window failed to disturb his sweet dreams.
Don't look at him sleeping in the dark, looking like he can't wake up no matter how much he sleeps, if a strange smell suddenly appears in the room, what is waiting for them is Ye Mingze, whose dream has been disturbed, with a tyrannical look on his face.Is this a different kind of waking up?
Ye Mingze himself didn't get angry. No one had seen such a face before. I wonder who would be lucky enough to try it first?
After Jiang Jingzhi took care of himself, he took a look at Jiahui Jiayao's situation, and seeing that he hadn't pooped or urinated, he began to warm the milk.Seeing that it was getting late, Cai Jin woke up little friend Lin Xiu.Lin Xiu fell into a drowsy sleep, and didn't wake up until he finished dressing and wiped his face.
At this time, Lin Wenjue had already rang the bell.Today it was Zhang Sen*'s turn. As soon as the two of them heard the summons from their masters, they warmed up the meal they had prepared earlier, and then quickly entered the room with the food box.The food includes not only breakfast for five people, but also breakfast for three leopards.
The leopards have been impatient for a whole winter in the house.Fortunately, they are full of spirituality, no matter how impatient they are, they will occasionally go out of the house to let the wind out, and when they feel cold, they will return to their warm nests.At this point, they were already hungry, and when they saw the food, they buried their heads in hard work, and even Jiang Jingzhi, who fed them, ignored them.It wasn't until I was full and full that I regained some energy.
The leopards only ate the food fed by Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi. It's not that no one had tried it, but they all liked to ignore it, so everyone rested their minds.
Zhang Sen* quickly set up the kang table, placed the meals in the food box in appropriate positions, and left the room after finishing his work.
In view of the fact that there were still people immersed in sleep, the few people only ate quietly without making too much noise.
Ye Mingze was awakened by the smell of food. Although there was a curtain in the middle, it couldn't stop the smell of food from invading the whole room.
As soon as Fu opened his eyes, Ye Mingze didn't see anyone. Combined with the appetizing smell of the food, he didn't need to think about it to know that Jiang Jingzhi was eating on the kang of Lin Wenjue's family.Now that he had woken up and was aroused again, Ye Mingze didn't delay any longer. He dressed and washed in a few moments, lifted the curtain, took the food box that was put aside, picked up his portion and started to eat.
The breakfast is simple and delicious.Ye Mingze eats noodles, dumplings, steamed buns and various porridges most often. Today is just dumplings. He has a big appetite. A large bowl of pork, tofu and dumplings went into his stomach in two or three bites. After eating, he still feels unsatisfied Feel.He opened the second layer of the food box and took a look. Sure enough, there were two big leek meat buns inside. After taking them apart and eating them, he finally felt full.
Ye Mingze stretched his body comfortably, lazily like a satiated cat.Maybe it was because he was really hungry, Ye Mingze ate faster, and he was the one who ate the last meal first.
Jiang Jingzhi, Lin Wenjue and Cai Jin all have good backgrounds and strict upbringing. When they eat meals, they eat them slowly and elegantly. How can they be like Ye Mingze?
