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

Seeing Lu Qingqing's attitude, the team leader spoke even more excitedly.

After some communication between the two, Lu Qingqing took the amount of cement and glass size given by the team leader and went to the city again.

Now the foundation of her house has just begun to be built.

According to the team leader, it is not too late to use cement now.

As for the glass, she only planned to use it for windows.

The window paper these days is not only not very transparent, but also very easy to tear.

The scene in TV dramas where you dip your finger in saliva and poke a hole in the window paper actually happened.

Therefore, Lu Qingqing felt that it was necessary to use glass on the windows.

She and Qin Lang went to Yining County again and went to the store that ordered doors and windows first.

After explaining the situation to the store owner, I took the size and quantity of the glass and went directly to the Yining store.

When the receptionist heard what she wanted to buy, she couldn't suppress the excitement on her face.

At this moment, Lu Qingqing is her God of Wealth.

After confirming the amount of cement, she carefully checked the size of the window glass again, her eyes shining.

Lu Qingqing heard the woman tell her that the glass was in stock and there was no need to wait any longer.

After listening to the woman's explanation, Lu Qingqing realized that the windows her family had custom-made were of the commonly used size these days.

The store warehouse always has this size in stock all year round.

Lu Qingqing rejected all the fancy colors that the woman introduced and directly chose transparent glass.

After selecting everything and determining the size and quantity, Lu Qingqing paid a large sum of money.

This amount of money was the largest single expense she had ever made in her two lifetimes.

But if you think about being able to live in a comfortable house of your own, the money is well spent.

After paying the money, the store sent someone to load cement and glass and follow Lu Qingqing's carriage to Baoshan Town.

When all the things were unloaded, many people came over to ask about the situation.

I want to know what this thing I have never seen before is used for.

Lu Qingqing explained the purpose in detail to the familiar families in the team.

When other people came to ask, Lu Qingqing just said that it was something needed to build a house and laughed it off.

In a few days, most of the houses in the entire site had been built half a person's height.

Among them, although the progress of Lu Qingqing's house was a little slower, it was almost finished.

The team leader has been keeping an eye on this house from the beginning until now.

He knew that cement was expensive and was afraid that the craftsmen would waste it, so he used it very carefully.

The design of the room was discussed with Lu Qingqing countless times.

Lu Qingqing felt that the team leader treated this house as his own child and put all his efforts into nurturing it.

This has resulted in her being very busy these days.

In addition to discussing the construction of the house, women from the village also came to sell silk.

These days, she has collected a lot of silk and satin, and she feels that she will have to go to the city again without waiting until next month.

Just as the construction work was in full swing, the temperature rose a lot again.

At noon, people can no longer stay under the scorching sun for too long.

After several people suffered from heatstroke, the old village chief discussed with everyone and changed the time for building houses.

The daily construction time of the house should be advanced or delayed by one hour to avoid the hottest period at noon.

Also because of the rising temperature, there are fewer men coming to the village to help in the past two days.

There is no way, the weather is too hot and the rice seedlings in the field are wilted.

Each family selected a few men to go back and work in their own fields.

Fortunately, Baoshan Town is mainly engaged in sericulture, and each family does not have much land, so basically one or two men can take care of it.

At lunchtime, the old village chief squatted under the shade of a tree, looking at the distorted air under the scorching sun, a look of worry on his face.

The temperature has been getting higher these days, and he has gone to the water storage dam several times.

It can be clearly seen that the water level in the dam has dropped a lot.

The rice seedlings that have already been planted in the fields of villagers in Baoshan Town do not look very optimistic either.

If things continue like this, there will be no need to grow rice.

Yesterday, he also went to Old Li's house to see the rice seedlings that were still growing.

Old Li is an experienced farmer and he cultivates rice seedlings very well.

But from what Old Li said, he is also worried about the climate this year.

It's only spring now, but the temperature is already so hot. I really don't know what it will be like in the hot summer.

In fact, it’s not just this year, the climate in the past two years has been very abnormal.

Not only are the temperatures in spring and summer much higher, but the temperatures in winter are also abnormal.

Old Li said that in all his years, he had only seen such thick ice in the river last year.

In other years, there is very little ice.

When the old village chief asked whether it was still necessary to plant the rice seedlings, Old Li hesitated for a long time before saying that it would be better to wait and see the situation.

At this time, every family is focusing on building houses.

Only a few families paid attention to the situation in the fields.

The old village chief thought about it and decided to tell the villagers about the matter.

Whether to plant rice seedlings and whether to plant rice or other crops is up to each family to decide.

At this time, the workers from the village had all gone home to rest, and the craftsmen also went to sleep under the tents in the shade.

The old village chief called everyone in the team over and repeated what Old Li had said.

When everyone heard this, they began to worry.

When they were in Yong'an County before, the water shortage scene made them panic.

However, after arriving at King Huai's territory and looking at the tall dam, everyone's anxiety gradually dissipated and they felt that they could settle down here.

At this moment, the old village chief talked about the falling water level again, and the previous anxiety lingered back in everyone's mind.

When they were in Lujia Village, they experienced a drought.

Not only did the crops in the fields die of drought, but later on people even had no water to drink.

If it weren't for that timely rain, they would probably not have made it here alive.

Are we going to go through the same thing again this time?

For a moment, the scene fell into deathly silence.

Even the noisy children on weekdays can sense the adults' emotions and calm down.

Seeing that no one spoke, the old village chief sighed and said:

“I believe everyone has heard about it these days.

This rice is different from the wheat we planted before. It requires too much water to grow a crop of rice.

In just a few days, the water level in the reservoir has dropped by two fingers.

It will take several months for the rice in the field to grow.

In my heart, I want to advise everyone to be more cautious."

As the old village chief spoke, murmurs of discussion could be heard from the crowd.
