Transformed into an extremely evil grandmother and fled to escape famine with her children and grand

Li Lanzhen nodded and looked at Xue Bao.

When Mrs. Wu saw her look, she thought that Li Lanzhen might be asking about her family situation, so she smiled and said.

"My dear relatives, our house is also quite spacious. It is a big cave with two small hills. It is big enough for living and storing things."

Goudan said quickly, "Grandma Lanzhen, there is enough room for me and grandma."

Han Yinan complained to Goudan, "I asked you to choose a big cave, but you chose the small one."

Goudan chuckled, "Uncle Xue Bao said that a smaller cave is warmer in the winter. Besides, there are only two of us, grandma and I, so one small cave is enough. I didn't expect that small cave has another small cave inside. Grandma said that we can each live in one room, and there is also space inside to cook and store sundries."

After saying that, he grinned and laughed.

Sanniu also stood up, holding a bowl, his lips were covered with wild vegetables, like a black beard, which made everyone laugh. He licked it with his tongue, and then said to Li Lanzhen, "Grandma, our caves are very big. Grandma said we can cook there and sit there to work during the day. Grandpa and grandma have a small cave, and my parents have a small cave. My dad said he would build a wooden house in it for the three of us brothers to live in."

Li Lanzhen looked at her in-laws and smiled happily as she saw that her parents and Goudan's family had made very good arrangements.

Xue Lao Hu said, "I always feel that these caves seem to have been dug by humans, but they have been there for a long time, probably several decades."

Li Erhan and Zhang Deshui also nodded. Li Erhan said, "Yes, I also found that the rocks here have traces of being excavated."

Zhang Deshui said, "I look at this small plain in the valley. It must have been full of crops a long time ago."

Li Lianzhen asked them with some trepidation, "Are you sure that this is what happened decades ago?"

Li Erhan smiled and said, "That should be the case. Don't be afraid, my girl. There are so many of us here. If anything happens, we are all here."

Wu glared at Xue Lao Hu and muttered, "You're always startled and frightening me!"

Xue Lao Hu laughed loudly and said to Li Lanzhen, "That's right. Inviting relatives is nothing to be afraid of. I took a look around this morning. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as we guard the entrance and do a good job of camouflage, no one will be able to get in."

After breakfast, Xue Nizi and a few other women were cleaning up the dishes when the old village chief and Han Shunde came over.

"Lanzhen, have you eaten?"

"Old village chief, is there anything wrong?"

"I just want to ask about the sweet potatoes and potatoes you mentioned. Is it too late to plant them now?"

Han Shunde said, “I see that the temperature in this valley is much hotter than outside.

So, my father thought about whether he could harvest some crops after planting them.

Let us all get through this winter.”

Li Lanzhen thought about it and said, you can't, but I can. I can germinate the seedlings in the space warehouse and then plant them directly. But she didn't want to say this.

I said, “Yes, it’s best to first plant the sweet potato and potato seedlings in a warm place, and then plant them directly in the fields, especially sweet potatoes, as the sweet potato seedlings grow faster.

There is no way to deal with potatoes. After the sprouts emerge, they are planted directly in the ground. "

Han Shunde said quickly, "Do you think this will work? We still have a few empty caves. We can spread soil in those caves and then grow sweet potato and potato sprouts. When the weather is cold, we can light a fire inside to raise the temperature."

Li Lanzhen thought about it and thought that this was indeed a solution, so she nodded and said, "I think this is feasible.

Old village chief, I have some sweet potatoes and potatoes here, I'll give them to you to plant."

The old village chief laughed and said, "Okay, I thank you on behalf of everyone."

Li Lanzhen waved her hand and didn't respond.

After they left, Li Lanzhen looked at her family and said, "I don't know how cold it is here in the winter. We can't light a fire in the cave to keep warm. I want to build a kang where we can light a fire and keep warm."

Because Li Lanzhen knew from her original life experience that when she lived in Hanjia Village, she had never seen a kang. Every household slept on a bed, and some just slept on a few wooden boards.

But Li Lanzhen was afraid of the cold, so she wanted to build a kang.

Everyone is a little confused, what is a pit?

Li Lanzhen took a small stick and drew on the ground, talking to Li Erhan as she drew.

"Dad, you see, it's called a kang if it's built like this."

Li Erhan watched Li Lanzhen drawing and told him how to make the fire path and where to build a kang hole for burning fire.

How to build it? How to run the flue? Where does the smoke come out? You will understand it now.

After thinking for a while, he said to them, "I think we can build a kang.

The material for building a kang must be stone. Even if you use mud bricks, they must be smoothed with mud mixed with soil and grass. One reason is that it is strong, and the other is that it can be used to prevent fire. It must be safe. "

Li Lanzhen looked at his father happily, "Dad, you are so great and smart. You understand everything I tell you."

At this time, Goudan asked a question that everyone wanted to know.

"Aunt Lanzhen, you are the smart one. How did you know about the kang?"

Li Lanzhen thought to herself, this is bad, I was only thinking about building the kang, but didn't find a way for it to come out. She looked up at everyone, all with eyes that wanted to know the answer.

She laughed and said, "Before I fled the famine, I went to the county town and saved the son of Master Jin Fulai. When I was having dinner at their house, I heard them talking about this kang. I overheard it and thought it was a good thing, so I asked about it in detail."

Everyone suddenly realized that it was the young master Jin Fulai who brought them these benefits.

They heard the name of Master Jin Fulai a lot during the journey, and they were very grateful to him in their hearts. The food they ate and the soldiers who fought back the conscripted men of King Jin were all provided by Master Jin Fulai. Otherwise, they didn't know whether they could come here.

Li Lanzhen silently said sorry to Jin Fulai's young master in her heart, for always dragging him out to take the blame.

The men gathered together to study how to build a wooden house in the cave, how to build a kang, and how much materials are needed.

After everyone had discussed it, they started to work together.

The women put the furniture in place in the cave.

In fact, there was nothing to arrange, because they had been fleeing from famine, and they only had a simple backpack, their own mattress and clothes, and a few wooden buckets for water and pots and bowls. However, since they were close to the mountains, the women brought back tree stumps and flat stones from the mountains...

In short, we asked the mountains for a lot of "furniture".

At this time, Han Shunde blew the whistle, and the children ran and shouted, conveying the old village chief's words.

"Attention! Attention! One person from each family should gather at the old village chief's house. We need to arrange work!"

Li Lanzhen did not move and arranged for the boss to go over and listen.

The old village chief was talking about planting sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Li Lanzhen suddenly remembered the matter about the kang, and said to Li Erhan, "Dad, go and tell the old village chief how to build the kang.

If every family in the village wants to build a kang, you should tell them how much materials are needed and what materials are needed, and ask them to prepare them. When you have successfully built it, each family can send one person to learn.

You don’t need to do it for every household, it’s too tiring.”

Li Erhan looked at his daughter who felt sorry for him, smiled, and walked away happily with his hands behind his back.
