Chapter 73 Repairing the House

Author: Sunflower on the Cliff

Everyone dispersed and went back to their homes.

The house of these people collapsed, and no one came to help. The main reason was that the behavior of the eight of them just now made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Not to mention the internal strife among themselves, betrayal of trust and backstabbing among themselves.

Those gossips and rumors they used to talk about privately in the past make people feel a little chilly when they are brought out now.

These educated youths all thought that they were educated youths. They were pure and enthusiastic and came here with full enthusiasm to build the frontier of the motherland. Who would have thought that anyone would have such an idea.

So vicious and dark.

Everyone involuntarily and deliberately drew a clear line between themselves and these eight people.

No one wants to get involved in this kind of thing.

Who knows whether these people who call you brothers today will stab you in the back tomorrow like they did today.

So there is no need for anyone to encourage it.

Everyone instinctively goes back to their own nests to make their own quilts. If you have that time, you might as well make money by making quilts.

Liu Haidong and several male educated youths remembered that the glass on their nest was broken during Xia Zhi.

"Captain Zhou, do we have glass in our team?

Let's change some glass for Xia Zhi and the others. Otherwise, we won't be able to sleep at night. It's so cold that people will freeze in one night."

Zhou Zhengan shook his head.

"We don't have extra glass on the team. If this is the case for the time being, we can only cover it with mats first."

Glass doesn’t just exist.

Anyway, it will definitely not be possible within a few months.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi and Liu Zhiyan's eyes darkened.

They are now completely living in a dungeon!

When the mat was lifted up, the little light was gone.

But at this moment, there is no other way, this is the condition here.

Xia Zhi didn't say anything. They had mats in their nest.

At that time, before the weather got too cold, she cut a lot of reeds from the reed swamps and made a lot of baskets and mats.

In order to prevent them from getting wet, they put three mats under the platform.

Moreover, a platform was built under the grain with earth clods, and several layers of mats were spread to prevent moisture.

At this moment, I have pulled out two mats that should be used.

Zhou Zhengan took a look.

"Leave it to us to build a nest and leave it alone."

He rolled up his sleeves, took the mat, and went to the roof to mend the holes.

The two comrades hurriedly looked for shovels and other things. They put this mat on top. It was useless just to put the mat on it. They also had to put a layer of loess on top of the mat.

Seriously, it's a layer of yellow mud.

After drying, the yellow mud can block the seams on the mat, and it can also be regarded as keeping warm.

Zhou Zhengan tidied up the top of their nest neatly. He stood aside and took a look. Sure enough, it looked quite neat.

But soon the heavy snow fell, which was really okay.

After next spring, this nest must be repaired no matter what.

I just hope that they will be better off next spring. If they can build a mud house, it may be much better than a subterranean house.

But that is for next year, and I don’t know if it can be done yet. If the authorities don’t allocate funds, they will have no money, and it will be a bit difficult to rely on the mud house entirely by themselves.

Xia Zhi handed over the half-warm water in the teapot.

This is sugar water.

"Captain Zhou, drink some water and go inside to rest. You are wearing such thin clothes, don't freeze."

Zhou Zhengan and his people were busy for a long time.

Dinner is ready for Summer Solstice.

Three people helped them repair the pit, so at least the two of them wouldn't have to suffer the cold tonight, so they made vegetable boxes for the night.

There is no meat, but cabbage, fungus and duck eggs.

The few duck eggs that were left were no problem. The weather was so cold that the duck eggs would not go bad.

Chop the cabbage, cut the soaked fungus into shreds, and mix it with the fried duck eggs to make a vegetable box.

Although there is not much oil, I still put in a little more oil than usual when frying the vegetable box.

Considering that Zhou Zhengan also brought two comrades with him, the appetites of the three grown men, plus Liu Qianjin, must be quite a lot.

So I made a big pot.

Then smash the garlic and chop it into fine pieces.

Add a little vinegar and a little soy sauce.

Add some sprinkling of oily chili seeds, this condiment will definitely be tasty enough to eat from the vegetable box.

I cooked another large pot of cornmeal porridge. This porridge is a little bland, but it goes well with the vegetable box.

When Zhou Zhengan heard that he was eating, he looked at his watch.

It was already past midnight in the cafeteria, and there was no food left for dinner.

"I'm so sorry, I have to bring two more people to eat at your place this time. I can't bring food here today."

This is a waste of money.

"What did Captain Zhou say? Help us clean up the den. We owe you such a big favor. What's the point of letting you have a meal? Hurry up and bring two comrades into the house for dinner."

Xia Zhi hurriedly asked them to come in. The house was relatively narrow and low.

Like the gay men who feel aggrieved and panicked as soon as they come in.

After finishing the meal, the two comrades were satisfied and followed Captain Zhou, muttering as they walked.

"No wonder the captain likes to come to Comrade Xiao Xia's place to eat. Even I like to come to Xiao Xia's place to eat."

"The last time I ate kebabs on the road, I found that the food made by Comrade Xiaoxia was particularly delicious."

"Who says it's not?

Look at the vegetable box I made today.

Let me tell you, I have never eaten such a delicious vegetable box in my life. Even though it is vegetarian, it is no less than those meat and vegetable boxes."

"I've eaten so much today."

Zhou Zhengan's lips curled up. Who gave Xia Zhi such special magic power?

Although there is snow falling in the sky, I am not cold at all.

Feng Xizhu and the other eight people also had a busy day.

Although Captain Zhou went to the team to find a few comrades to come and help.

It's said that I'm teaching them, which can be regarded as helping them, but it's definitely unrealistic to finish this nest in one day.

The roof has been covered with braided hay, but the mat on top is covered with reeds. The current reeds are no longer suitable for braiding mats.

I couldn't find good materials for a while.

I have to wait until tomorrow when I see the team to find out if there are any free mats in the warehouse.

And this mat also costs money.

The five male educated youths who were lying on the ground looked very angry when they saw Feng Xizhu.

"It's all your fault for Feng Xizhu, we have to make it clear to you.

All the money spent on building the house was deducted from your work points, all because of you. If you hadn't insisted that clearing the snow was of no use, we wouldn't have followed Xia Zhi and others to clear the snow, and we would have ended up where we are today.

.”

Feng Xizhu got angry this time and jumped up with his feet on his waist, like a village shrew.

"Why don't you do it when I tell you not to do it? If I tell you to eat shit, are you going to eat shit? Don't put the shit pot on my head. That's what you want. Don't do this with me.

set."

"Why do you speak so harshly?"

"I'm ugly when I speak, and it's ugly when you do things. I tell you, don't even think about taking a penny from me. Otherwise, we'll see."

Feng Xizhu had already been booked with a big mistake, and he had to pay Xia Zhi and the others for the glass and roof repairs, and he also had to pay for the repairs inside and outside his own house.

After all, this is a very large amount of money.
