The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

When Lu Qingqing and the people from the North Courtyard were walking back, snowflakes began to fall from the sky again.

The cold wind blew snowflakes against my face, causing pain.

Everyone stopped chatting and ran home.

When we ran to the north yard, there were no houses nearby to provide shelter and the wind became stronger.

Not far away, branches covered with frost were shaking violently in the wind.

Many small branches broke off and were then blown away by the wind.

Lu Qingqing covered the scraped cloth and ran back faster.

He ran back into the house in one breath, quickly closed the door, and blocked the wind and snow outside.

She and Qin Lang brushed the snow off each other's bodies, stroked the little wolf cub at their feet, and then went to the stove.

As expected, the fire in the stove had gone out.

Seeing that she was about to light the fire, Qin Lang quickly took out an ice cube from the bucket next to him and put it into the pot.

Lu Qingqing picked up the flint and steel and started striking them with skillful movements.

After a while, the hay began to burn.

She added more straw, and the fire grew stronger and stronger.

Feeling the warmth, the little wolf also came to the stove.

This little guy is very smart. He knows to stay close to the stove to keep warm, but he always keeps a distance from it.

Once, Lu Qingqing teased it and pushed it towards the stove.

As the fire got closer and closer, the little guy kicked his legs to resist and kept shouting.

Only after it escaped from the 'danger' did it move away, stand up straight and call out to Lu Qingqing.

The action matched the expression, as if he was scolding her.

However, this little guy is easy to coax. After a bowl of goat milk, he comes over happily again.

At this moment, its chubby little butt was sitting on Lu Qingqing's feet.

After the fire started, the two men and the wolf gathered around the stove to warm themselves.

The howling wind outside never stopped, and it made me feel very cold.

Lu Qingqing stretched her hand towards the fire again and rubbed her hands after feeling the warmth.

After warming her hands, she took a few sweet potatoes and potatoes and put them into the stove one by one.

The locations she placed them in were all ones she had tried many times before.

If you get the timing right, the baked sweet potatoes and potatoes will definitely taste delicious.

These days, the two of them have a meal like this every few days.

At the beginning, I always couldn’t get the right timing.

The sweet potatoes and potatoes were either not cooked through or burnt.

I often bake many, but only one or two can be eaten.

Now when I bake it, most of the time it comes out fine.

Thinking of the delicious roasted corn she had eaten last time, she took out two tender corns, stuck them with thin wooden sticks, and patiently roasted them over the fire.

As the roasted corn gradually changed color, the coldness on their clothes faded away and their bodies became completely warm.

Lu Qingqing asked Qin Lang to continue roasting corn while she started to make lunch.

During the day, some people might come to visit and they would eat their lunch inside.

The two of them didn't plan to eat meat dishes with a strong smell. To save trouble, she planned to directly eat the shredded potatoes prepared in the space.

It was so cold that the two of them had to have hot soup with almost every meal.

Thinking about the corn paste I made yesterday with the new millstone, the fine powder was much better than the one I made before.

Lu Qingqing decided to make corn porridge for lunch today.

Seeing that there was not much water in the pot, she took some more water from the space. She made more water each time and kept it in the space so that it could be drunk for several days.

When the pot is opened, it is steaming hot, and the thick corn paste in the pot emits a unique corn aroma.

Qin Lang moved the lid of the pot aside, and Lu Qingqing took a small aluminum pot and scooped corn paste into it skillfully.

When the small aluminum pot is full, there are still two or three bowls of food left in the big pot.

Lu Qingqing was worried that it would get cold if left for too long, so she put the small aluminum pot directly into the space.

After scooping out the remaining corn paste, some water was added to the pot to prevent the fire below from burning the pot.

After both of them washed their hands, Lu Qingqing took out the shredded potatoes and white flour pancakes from the space and placed them directly on the grate in the pot.

The temperature is low now, so they all eat by the pot.

If we eat at the table like before, the food will probably get cold soon after it is served.

Rolling shredded potatoes in white flour pancakes makes it much easier to eat.

Take a bite of the pancake and drink some hot corn porridge, and your stomach will feel warm and comfortable.

When we were almost done with the meal, the soft and glutinous roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes were also baked one after another.

The two of them took turns eating and finished all the roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes.

The last thing we ate was the two roasted corn cobs.

This roasted corn smells burnt, and when you actually eat it, it has a soft and chewy texture with a little toughness, which is very satisfying to chew.

The two of them roasted the fire and slowly ate the roasted corn.

When they finished eating, Qin Lang pointed at Lu Qingqing's mouth and said with a smile:

"Daya, you've grown a beard!"

Lu Qingqing looked at the blackened area on someone's mouth, and a proverb popped into her mind.

A crow stands on a pile of coal. It can see that others are black, but it cannot see that it is black itself.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

He took out a handkerchief from the space and raised his hand to wipe Qin Lang's mouth.

In just a moment, the little white handkerchief was stained with black ash.

When helping Qin Lang wipe his mouth, Lu Qingqing discovered that Qin Lang actually started to grow a beard!

The few whiskers on the boy's face were just beginning to emerge. Unlike the soft hair around his mouth, these slightly longer and thicker whiskers were particularly noticeable.

After looking him up and down, Lu Qingqing came to a conclusion.

Qin Lang has entered puberty!

She hadn't noticed that they were together every day, but after looking at him carefully, she found that he seemed to have grown taller!

Lu Qingqing quickly walked to the door, faced the door frame, and gestured at the height.

Then she sadly discovered that she hadn't grown much compared to two months ago.

She pulled Qin Lang over and measured him, and found that he was a little taller than two months ago.

Qin Lang saw her measuring her height and moved closer to her. His big hand passed over her head and stopped at his chest.

Then, he said to Lu Qingqing happily:

"Daya, look, you've grown to my height now!"

Looking at Qin Lang who was smiling at her innocently, Lu Qingqing silently decided that she should eat more!

No, you also need to arrange exercise.

She vaguely remembered that touching something could make one grow taller.

Then she would do two hundred touches every day from now on. She didn’t believe that she wouldn’t grow taller.

Although height is largely determined by genes, you should be able to grow taller with hard work.

Speaking of genetic inheritance, the original body's father, Boss Lu, was not short, about 1.7 meters tall, which was above average height in that era.

The original body's mother, Lu Li, was a little over 1.5 meters tall.

By this calculation, if she is well fed and well cared for, it should not be a problem for her to grow to 1.6 meters tall.

Looking at the big guy standing next to her, Lu Qingqing decided to use her own bed quilt as the 38th parallel when she went to bed at night.
