In the end of the world, we will form a team with the country, and we will not be tired with the red
Chapter 367: The Head of the Family
This is just the first round of cleaning. Next, we need to carry out deep cleaning of the land and use tools to turn the soil over.
The soil under my feet has absorbed enough moisture. Although it has not turned into silt, it is still soft and moist when I step on it.
Having space is really convenient and can save a lot of time and labor.
……
Ning Ke brought Huo Anping with her to dig in the shed outside the kitchen.
With the experience from last time, digging a well was easy the next time.
Because it is close to a large lake, groundwater is abundant and there is no need to worry about water leakage. The worst that can happen is that we can dig deeper.
Huo Anping looked at her skillful movements and asked a few questions out of curiosity. Only then did he know that she had participated in it before. No wonder.
[Roar~ Ningning?] Suddenly, a tiger roared, and Huo Anping, who was working diligently, was startled.
"I'm here." Ning Ke heard Tiger Mom Lin Lin calling her and shouted hurriedly.
Lin Lin's tall figure appeared in the courtyard, and Huo Anping, who was standing by the well, was so scared that he dared not move.
Ning Ke climbed out of the well and looked at it strangely.
"What's wrong?"
[We're planning to go to the forest next door. We came to say hello to you before we leave.]
"That's great. We can definitely get through. The mutant beasts over there have already left."
The forest next door that Linlin mentioned was the area where the Xi family's group of mutant beasts lived. They had already moved to the base to live, and the place became vacant.
[Ningning, we want to go with you too.] At this time, Lanlan's father, the Monkey King, came over with his monkey group.
"Okay, you haven't finished your food yet. I'll bring it to you." The monkeys were free by nature, and she would not interfere with them.
[No, save it for Lanlan. There's no shortage of food at this time of year.]
The Monkey King shook his head. His tribe already had new life in the making and needed a larger territory and resources.
"We haven't explored that area yet. If you encounter any difficulties after you go there, you can always come to me."
"Okay, let's go. We'll take the cubs there to play when we have time." Tiger Mom Lin Lin said to Ning Ke with a gentle look in her eyes.
Ning Ke nodded, Lin Lin turned around and left with his men, and the monkeys followed them.
According to Xueyu's description, the forest seemed to be quite deep and vast.
They had been there for too short a time and had not had time to explore, nor did they know if there were any other powerful opponents besides the group of mutant beasts.
Come to think of it, I don’t know what Xueyu has been busy with these past two days. She goes out early and comes back late every day, looking exhausted.
Huo Anping quietly watched Ning Ke communicate with the group of mutant beasts, and then watched the group of mutant beasts quietly leave.
Ning Ke turned around and saw Huo Anping working quietly and smiled. He was not bad, at least he didn't ask too many questions.
With the experience gained the first time, Ning Ke doubled the depth of the well this time, just to avoid using too much water in hot weather and to avoid the well drying up.
"Miss Ning, does the shed outside need reinforcement?"
Comparing this shed with the kitchen next door, it is obvious that it was built casually.
"Yes, it started out as a makeshift construction because I didn't have time."
"Then I'll go make some wooden molds. The weather is good now, and the clay will dry quickly." Huo Anping washed his hands and wanted to find a few pieces of wood from the pile in the woodshed to make molds.
"I don't have the tools to turn the soil here. I wonder if you can do it, Master Huo?"
Ning Ke came to his side and kept taking out tools from the space, including some power tools.
"I've never done it before, but I know the principle and I can give it a try. It would be best if the thing is made of iron."
"Can you take a look at these hard animal bones? If not, we can only go to the base to custom-make some." Ning Ke took out many mutant animal skeletons from the space.
Suddenly, a thick three-sided fish bone caught Huo Anping's attention.
I excitedly went forward and touched it. The edge of the fishbone was very sharp. I knocked it with a tool and felt that the texture was also hard.
Ning Ke saw him touching the fish bone and walked over to take a look. "Are you planning to use this to plow the field?"
"In theory, as long as there is enough power and enough pressure is applied, there should be no problem. After I make some minor repairs, you can take it over and try it out," said Huo Anping.
"Okay, we can try." Ning Ke nodded. There was nothing wrong with it. Everyone was just groping in the dark anyway.
Ning Ke was doing the final cleaning of the well alone, while Huo Anping had already started making the mold.
Looking at Huo Anping who worked efficiently and without any laziness, he couldn't help but praise himself in his heart.
After the mold is made, the next step is to make adobe bricks, and a lot of the soil in Ningke's space comes in handy.
Mix some hay in it and stir it into wet mud with moderate hardness. Then compact it in the mold and demould it, and neat adobe blocks are completed.
After it dries, it can be used to build a house. Huo Anping generously told Ning Ke the trick.
Ning Ke took notes seriously. This was her first time to come across this way of building a house.
According to him, there will be no problem building a house with this kind of adobe even in the cold season.
He also told me how to build a kang, claiming that he had seen it in a book.
Seeing the effect of the earthen kang reminded Ning Ke of the big warm bed that Uncle Ouyang and his family next door had renovated, which should be an earthen kang.
After doing all this, when the two looked up again, it was already past four in the afternoon. They had agreed to go to the fields to help, but it seemed that they had no time today.
Huo Anping was a little worried. Why hadn't his wife and the others returned yet at this hour? So he made a video call to check on them.
Yu Minxian was helping to hold up the tree at the moment, while Lanlan was working hard to fill the soil.
The work in the fields is done for the day and they are now transplanting the trees.
The one in her hand is the last one that needs to be transplanted today. She can go home after it is done.
"Minmin, why haven't you come back yet?" Huo Anping looked at his wife worriedly in the video, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was safe.
Yu Minxian smiled, "I'll be home soon, don't worry."
"Dad, we'll be back soon. I have something good to bring to you and Sister Ning." Huo Mingzhu ran over and looked at the screen and said.
"Okay, Dad will be waiting at home. Be careful on the road." Seeing that his wife and daughter were safe, he felt relieved.
Thinking of Xueyu, Ning Ke opened the map and checked to see where it had gone.
Huh? Why did it go to the mountains?
In the evening, Dabao brought the animals home. As soon as he saw Ning Ke, he told her that the tiger cub Zhuangzhuang had left with his mother.
Ning Ke nodded. Although she felt reluctant, she could still understand that Zhuangzhuang must have gone to help Tiger Mom.
[I didn't know if they would be in danger, so I asked Mengmeng to come along, and she took all the medicine we had.] Dabao then told them about Mengmeng, the golden monkey cub, who had come along.
Ning Ke nodded, walked over and hugged it, "It's okay, I'll sew a new one for you to carry with you tonight, and when Xueyu comes back tonight, I'll let it go over and look after it."
Dabao nodded. These were the cubs he had watched grow up, and he didn't want them to be in danger.
