The daily life of Yu Baibai's family after traveling through time

Chapter 38 Low-profile version of "Infrastructure"

"Yeah! It's closer to the stream, so I can lean against these big rocks and it's more stable."

Yu Yaozu pointed out the location to Qiao Qingfeng as he spoke.

Qiao Qingfeng nodded: "Then let's get started! I estimate that it will rain at the latest at the hour of You. This rain... I'm afraid it will last for several days..."

(Youshi is roughly from 5 to 7 p.m.)

"It's better for our two families to live next to each other."

As a seasoned hunter, he has a lot of experience.

After saying this, Qiao Qingfeng called his two sons and set out to chop down trees with machetes.

Not only do you have to cut down some trees, but you also have to collect some grass to build a roof.

Seeing this, Qiao Mu quickly settled Yu Baibai down:

"Baibai, you better be good and pull weeds here. Don't leave your father's sight. Do you hear me?"

"Okay, Mom, you go and get busy!" Yu Baibai took out a small shovel from somewhere and squatted on the ground, shoveling the grass with a grunt.

Seeing that his daughter had become obedient, he nodded with satisfaction, turned around and went down the mountain along the way he came, to ask people to come up the mountain, as well as the livestock and luggage.

It’s also thanks to the fact that there are not many large trees around here, otherwise livestock might not be able to get in.

Some of the shrubs blocking the road are as tall as a person. You can just cut them down without much effort. The cut shrubs can be kept and placed on the shed later.

A group of people worked hard and soon they had compacted the ground around the stream, which showed their strength.

The women and children went to cut grass and collect leaves, while the men were divided into two teams, one team went to cut down trees, and the other team was building straw huts, and their speed was not slow.

First use thicker tree trunks as support, then use thinner ones to support the roof, cover branches as thick as your wrist with grass or leaves, and finally spread the mud dug out from around the downstream stream evenly on the leaves, then cover with leaves from large trees, and press it down with small stone slabs.

Then, just like on an assembly line, thirty-five simple sheds were built.

After dividing it by number, each person will then refine some details.

The livestock were all settled in, given enough water and food, and tired after two days, they all dozed off.

The people living in the same house may not be a family, but a group of single men...

By the time I finished cleaning the house, the sun had completely disappeared and the sky was so dark that it was hard to breathe.

at last……

It started to rain.

Go down and get bigger.

The men who were collecting firewood outside and the children and women who were digging wild vegetables also hurried back.

They all hid in the sheds and felt the coolness brought by the rain.

The children were playing in the shed, while the adults were sitting together, thankful that they had escaped the heavy rain and that they were all still alive.

Yu Yaozu looked at the rain outside and thought about the future.

Yu Baibai sat on the wooden stool Qiao Mu had made for her and shivered.

"Dad, Mom, it's a bit cold."

It was really cold. Before it rained, I was so hot that I almost got naked. After it rained, the temperature dropped sharply!

Plus, it's still damp around here, which makes it even colder.

This shed is not big and can accommodate six people if they squeeze together. It is just the right size to share with Yu Baibai’s grandfather’s family.

Besides, this house was built by Qiumu himself, and no one said anything about it. Who dares to say anything?

While the women at home were digging wild vegetables, Qiao Mu went straight to cut down trees to build his own nest.

Digging wild vegetables? Impossible!

Building a house is what the hostess should do!

The houses built by Qiao Mu are different from those built on assembly lines by others, and are even more spacious than others.

Since the luggage was all in the cattle car, there was no need to put luggage in the house. The room just needed to be big enough for people to live in and have a place to make a fire.

The "bed" was made of large round logs split in half, which was quite ungrounded, and a thick layer of hay was placed on the logs.

Thanks to the trees on the mountain here, the drainage is very good, so there is no need to worry about waterlogging even if it rains heavily.

Before moving in, the heavy rain had not yet started, so Qiumu simply lit a fire to warm the house.

One reason was to smoke out the insects, and the other was that the newly built shed was too damp.

Yu Yaozu poured the boiling water from the clay pot into the basin, took off Yu Baibai's shoes, and pressed the chubby little feet into the basin:

"If you feel cold, just soak your feet in hot water and then get under the covers to warm up."

Yu Baibai didn't bother to be polite with her father at all. She just ran and rolled into the quilt comfortably.

Qiao Qingfeng heard them say this while watching Yu Baibai tossing and turning on the bed.

"We've only been walking for two days, and we haven't even gotten out of the mountain yet. I don't know how many more days it will take." Qiao Lin kept talking while using a wooden stick to remove mud from Yu Baibai's little shoes.

Qiao Sen was a carefree man. He took off his coat and lay half-lying on the bed.

"Who cares about it for a few days? As long as our family is safe and sound, that's all that matters."

"Go away! Stay away!" Qiao Lin couldn't bear to see his brother in such a dead look, and wanted to beat him up when he saw him.

Yu Baibai chuckled: "My little uncle got beaten~"

"Good job, little babbler! You actually made fun of your uncle. Look at my tickling skills!"

"Hehehe... Uncle, please stop tickling me... Hehehe..."

The two of them, one big and one small, were hiding and chasing each other, giggling all the time.

The laughter spread far away...

Now that everyone was not in a hurry, the women seemed to have agreed to change their dry food into thin porridge with wild vegetables that you could see the bottom of.

Old Lady Yu was also cursing while holding a spoon, her voice even drowning out the children's laughter:

"You only know how to eat! You're not traveling or doing any hard work, yet you're still eating! How can you not eat yourself to death?"

Damn it! I gave birth to a bunch of kids. Who should I scold? I get angry just thinking about it!

The more she thought about it, the angrier Old Lady Yu became: "Zhan Yirou! Get over here! You're asking for food with your mouth wide open, thinking you're a lady from a wealthy family? You're letting me, your mother-in-law, cook for you, why don't you just go to heaven?"

There are many boys in the old house of the Yu family, so they were divided into two sheds. Zhan Yirou heard the scolding of the old woman Yu and looked at the man beside her with tears in her eyes.

Yu Chengzong was weak to begin with, and now he had been running away for two days, and he was exhausted. Now he was not left behind in setting up the shed. When he finally had a break, his mother started scolding him, and she was very annoyed.

Without even looking at Zhan Yirou, he turned over and said, "Mom is calling you, just go. You haven't been tired along the way. Everyone is exhausted. Just go and help with the cooking!"

Zhan Yirou looked at Yu Chengzong's back in disbelief. Before she could say anything, Old Lady Yu's scolding came again:

"You lazy bitch! You thought you were in town? Get over here now!"

Yu Chengguang was living next door with his wife and children. When he heard his mother scolding him, he just smiled and said nothing. He was carving something with a palm-sized piece of wood.

Yu Chengguang has gradually improved over the past few years, but he is still a bit cunning.

Wang Daya was also weaving straw mats. When she heard the scolding, she just looked up and continued to work with her head down.

Wang Daya: This second sister-in-law has felt from the very beginning that she is different from these peasants. She always looks down on others with her neck held high. During the past two days of fleeing famine, she just sat on the mule cart, waiting for food and drink, and didn't help at all. She deserves to be scolded by the old woman. She brought it upon herself!
