Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, Liu Datong came back.

"Ruoxue, can I borrow your ox cart for a moment?"

"Uncle, what are you doing..."

"I'm going to move the stuff, and by the way, ask the Wang brothers to come over and help me build a straw shed. The strawberries will also be moved to your house, I don't want them anymore."

"So anxious?"

Leng Ruoxue didn't expect that Liu Datong was still an impatient person.

“The sooner you finish, the sooner you can feel at ease”

"Okay then. I have plenty of grass and wood to dry at home. Take it first and we'll go help you later."

We have to move here today. If there is no grass, Uncle Liu will have to sleep in the open air.

"Ruoxue, when you build a house in the future, you must use people from your own village."

The village chief hastily added.

I was afraid that Leng Ruoxue’s family would also look for people from Wangjia Village to build a house.

"Uncle village chief, we have lived together with the Wang family in the valley for almost a year. We all work together, and we are used to it. We cooperate well. When I build a house, I will definitely find someone from our village."

Liu Datong went to harness the ox cart with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief. When Uncle Datong moves in, I will go with him to find a market for the strawberries. If they sell well, we can let everyone plant strawberries in the vacant land. We may not be able to harvest food this year, but we will try to get enough food for the whole village to survive the winter with strawberries."

"Really?"

The village chief stood up excitedly.

"You don't know, Grandpa is almost dying of worry. The wild vegetables on the mountain are dug up as soon as they sprout. Everyone is just about to cut the bark of the trees."

"Master, don't get excited. We won't know until we run away. This matter is not confirmed yet."

Leng Ruoxue didn't know whether canned strawberries would work.

"How long will it take to get the letter?"

“About 15 days.”

Leng Ruoxue calculated the time and found that it would be time to pick the first batch of strawberries in the village in about 5 days.

"well"

The village chief left with satisfaction.

When Liu Datong moved the things and the three people from the Wang family arrived, the village chief came again.

"Ruoxue, lend me the ox cart. The villagers have helped make a lot of adobe bricks for your family. I'll ask them to bring them here on the ox cart, and ask them to help build a thatched shed for Datong."

"Grandpa Village Chief, please help me count how many adobe bricks each family has."

"Uncle Liu, don't rush to build a house. Cut the master back first. When you have enough, come to my place first."

Liu Datong was puzzled, but he still obediently went to cut bamboo.

The village chief led people to pull in cartloads of adobe bricks, and Liu Datong and his team had already started building a fence with bamboo.

"Grandpa Village Chief, how many houses do you think this soil can support?"

The village chief roughly estimated, "Three or four rooms should be no problem."

Leng Ruoxue estimated and said, "Mom, take this and send it to everyone at the rate of 30 bricks per kilogram of brown rice."

"Ruoxue, this is not acceptable. You can buy bricks with this price. No one wants your money or anything. We are all helping you out of our own accord."

The village chief waved his hands hurriedly when he heard this.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I know everyone wants to help, but my family doesn't have any labor, so even if other families need help in the future, my family won't be able to help much. Now everyone is short of food, and although my family doesn't have much, I can still share some to help everyone get through a few days. I can pay back the money my grandparents owe me when I make another trip to deliver goods."

"We will never forget your kindness in helping us when we are in such a difficult time. The price of grain is high now. I was going to pay you back with grain, but now is not the right time. So please accept this exchange of adobe bricks for grain."

"Okay, Grandpa will take the initiative and agree to it. It's worth it that the villagers took a detour to find people from Wangjia Village to look for you while fleeing the famine. Although our villagers are poor, we are still very united."

Leng Ruoxue had never known about this matter, but now that she heard about it, she felt very emotional.

Although it was the grandparents who suggested looking for them, and their main purpose was to find Leng Yuxuan, the villagers were able to take a detour to help find people while fleeing the famine, which was much better than the people in Wangjia Village.

"Ruoxue, are you looking for me?"

Liu Datong came.

The village chief and Liu Ruxu went to deliver brown rice.

"Uncle Datong, I guess you will be staying in our Lengjia Village from now on, so please fix up the house. How about an adobe house?"

"An adobe house, that's fine, but won't you repair it first?"

Liu Datong’s household registration is in Lengjia Village, so it’s no big deal to build a mud house.

"My family wants to build a brick house, uncle, how about you build one too?"

Leng Ruoxue tried it out.

"A mud house is fine. I'm alone, so I don't need to be so particular."

"Okay, you build the adobe house first. If you don't, I will have to use the adobe to build the fence. When your house is built, you can help me open up wasteland and feed the cows and horses when you have time, and then you can pay me back. You are the one who helped build the house in the village, so you need to discuss with the village chief how to calculate the silver."

"Yuxuan, do you think it's okay for uncle to repair the house today?"

Liu Datong asked Leng Yuxuan.

"Okay, fix it soon, then we can be together every day again"

Leng Yuxuan likes Uncle Liu and always asks him for help when he has heavy work.

Liu Datong, who had no idea what Leng Yuxuan was thinking, went to find the village chief.

There are people in the village who know how to repair houses. They are from the same village, so just provide them with two meals.

It's this day, and we need to find someone to calculate it. Liu Datong said that Yuxuan, the lucky star, said that today can be the day.

The village chief's family arranged a labor force, and about a hundred people started working.

For adobe houses, the foundation does not need to be dug very deep. Those who cook cook, those who dig dig. Those who have no land take the initiative to weed and level the land, build cow sheds, and repair toilets.

The three members of the Wang family started making doors and windows

Liu Datong also followed Leng Ruoxue's example and used a bamboo tube to bring water into the yard.

He took out all the food in the house, including a lot of dried meat, borrowed a few pots from people who had them, and cooked at Leng Ruoxue's house.

Leng Ruoxue made the brown rice, dried meat and carrot stew, and she also contributed a lot of her own cooking oil.

Inform everyone to bring pots or basins to serve rice.

The workers didn't think much about it. Nowadays, every family has wild vegetable and brown rice porridge, which is soupy and does not need to be served in a basin. The workers cannot eat enough.

As a result, when everyone was lining up for food, we found out that each family was given two bowls of rice to take home and eat by themselves.

People who haven't seen meat for a long time were so excited that they didn't know what to say.

This means one person works and the whole family has enough to eat.

After the meal, people came to continue repairing the house and brought all their family members who could come.

“Not so many people”

Liu Datong saw people everywhere and kept shouting.

"It's okay, it's just a meal for one person, I have nothing to do anyway"

"That's right. My kid can't do anything else, but he can help cut some grass to feed the cows and pick up some firewood for the fire."

So Leng Ruoxue's house piled up grass and firewood again.

Sure enough, Leng Yuxuan is a little lucky star. Ever since his family returned to the village, they have received relief food. Vegetables have been delivered once, and adobe bricks can be exchanged for food. In a few days, strawberries can also be exchanged for food.
