Like Jiang Ergen's house, when the horse thief came, the family hid in the pit under the pigpen and saved their lives, but all the property in the family was stolen by the thief.
Among them, all the food and livestock in the family were stolen.
Jiang Ergen's family even had the clothes they changed were borrowed from Jiang Lizheng's house (it seemed to be difficult to repay), not to mention their future life.
Without food, money and houses, it is difficult to survive. It seems that this winter is difficult!
Grandpa Jiang Er looked at Jiang Hexi's house, shook his head and said, "Your house cannot be lived in, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Hexi said, "Second Grandpa, I plan to use the piece of my land next to the wild cherry tree to repair the house. What do you think?"
Grandpa Jiang Er thought about the land at Jiang Hexi's house, and nodded, saying, "That land is good. There is a small forest not far away. Not far away, it is next to the river. It is convenient to get water, but it is next to the river.
Maybe it's a little wet."
Jiang Hexi said, "Second Grandpa, I won't hide something from you. In fact, I chose to build a house in this place, and I also wanted to leave a way out for my family."
The second grandfather said in surprise, "Girl Fang, what do you mean?"
Jiang Hexi said, "Second Grandpa, look at our village. After meeting the bandits this time, our situation is good. At least we are still alive, but what about the next time? This time I happened to observe the bandits and spies stayed.
If the mark is not found, I am afraid that our entire village will be silently killed by horse thieves in the middle of the night."
The second grandfather became more and more serious as he listened. After a while, he said, "Girl Fang, I know you are a knowledgeable child. Tell me, how can you leave a way out?"
"Second Grandpa, I plan to secretly repair the tunnel while building the house."
"Authentic? If it's like a cellar, it's useless. If our family hides the beans in the cellar, they will be all robbed of by horse thieves."
Jiang Hexi said, "Second Grandpa, the authenticity I want is like this. It must have many exits and many entrances. In the authenticity, it must be easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the enemy burns smoke at the entrance of the cave,
Poisoning, or guarding in the tunnel, we can escape from another exit long ago. If the enemy enters the hole, we can attack the enemy in the hole."
"This tunnel is not easy to repair."
"But we have to repair it. Don't forget that when the winter comes, there will be Liao people who are harassed on the border. When the Liao people come, their methods are no worse than those of horse thieves, or even more so. We must prepare earlier.
.”, paused, and she said, "That's how I think about it. It's better for our two families to dig through each other so that we can take care of each other. If something happens, it's better to notify each other."
Grandpa Jiang Er said, "Girl Fang, you have a good idea. We should indeed act like this. This way, when your second uncle and others come back later, let's discuss it together."
"Okay." Jiang Hexi paused for a moment and said, "By the way, second grandpa, we are authentic, don't let outsiders know about it. Once people like Liu Dagen know about it, they will probably betray us.
.”
"Grandpa Second knows, don't worry. I'll just discuss it with Li Zheng. Let's take a look at other people."
After the two sides agreed, Grandpa Jiang Er went back first.
Before going back, Grandpa Jiang Er said, "By the way, girl Fang, when you want to repair the house, Grandpa Er's family has someone at home. Your uncles and nephews have the strength to do it. Remember to ask them to help you with your work.
.”
"Don't worry, Grandpa Second, I will definitely ask everyone to help you then."
After the second grandfather left, Jiang Hexi and Grandma Jiang also started cooking.
Brother Jiang San found some dry firewood on the side and brought it to the cave. Jiang Hexi built a temporary stove with stones outside the cave and began to take out a large iron pot to cook.
Of course, they can't make fine noodles in this case. Their family took the corn noodles and flossed them and started making corn cakes to deal with them.
In the large iron pot, a large pot of corn paste was made.
While the family was busy, several children came over there.
Jiang Hexi looked over and found that several children were in disgrace. They stared at the pot, and their eyes were open.
"What are you cooking?"
One of the children leaned their heads beside the pot, and their saliva almost fell into the pot.
Jiang Hexi hurriedly stopped the child and said, "You are... the children of the Chen family? Your family is busy with work, right? Why don't you go home to help with the work?"
Chen Dabao said, "Do you eat corn cakes in your family? Our family hasn't eaten yet, so let's eat these corn cakes for us."
Jiang Hexi was about to say something, but each of them grabbed a corn cake by the pot and ran away in a flash!
Grandma Jiang was so angry that she exhaled, "Mrs. Chen, who is trying to die, has raised a few beggars!"
Jiang Hexi was also speechless, thinking more and more that he wanted to repair the house quickly, otherwise he would not be able to make some delicious food.
Later, Jiang Hexi made some batter and then added a pot of corn cakes again.
Unfortunately, there is no oil and water in the pot of this corn cake, which is far less than a pot of braised chicken or something. The corn cake pasted by the pot is delicious.
Jiang Hexi's family of three were having dinner, and Liu Ergen's family came over.
Although this family has changed into clean clothes, their faces are still not good-looking.
Liu Ergen squeezed out a smile and said, "He Xi, what delicious food is it? Your second uncle hasn't eaten yet!"
Jiang Hexi had a headache when he heard this sound.
Liu Ergen and his family have no money now, so they are just planning to eat and drink freely.
Beside Liu Ergen, Liu Hongxing and Liu Sangniu looked at each other, and their faces were a little stiff.
The young girl has not yet reached the point where she can eat everywhere.
However, when Liu Ergen's wife Li saw that there was a pot sticker left in the pot, she grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth, and said, "He Xi, my second aunt's family is in trouble. It's all a family, you have to entertain you.
Welcome your second aunt!"
Jiang Hexi felt a little disgusted when he heard this. The two families had no blood relationship, so where is the second aunt of this family?
She looked at the bottom of the pot and made a little more corn today. Anyway, she wasted it even if she couldn't finish it. She didn't say much immediately. She just took a bowl and served it for Liu Hongxing and Liu Snail next to her.
Bowl of porridge.
Because the bottom of the pot was not cleaned, Jiang Hexi said to Liu Ergen and his wife beside him, "We are orphans and widows, and there is only a little coarse grain, which is subsidized by our aunt's family, and there is no other food, red apricots and snails.
Let's take a bite."
In other words, Liu Ergen and Li did not mention them.
The two of them smiled embarrassedly, turned their heads and walked towards Jiang Dazhuang's house beside them.
Liu Hongxing's face was stiff, and she bit her lip stubbornly, and said, "I will give it back to you in the future."
Liu Sangniu also said, "I will give you two bowls of porridge in the future."
Jiang Hexi nodded and said, "You don't have to pay back two bowls. It's common for neighbors to borrow a bowl of rice or something. You can just return me a bowl of porridge each in the future."
"I will pay back my mother's pot sticker, too."
"Um!"
After the two of them said something, their expressions became much more natural. They quickly finished the corn noodles porridge, threw them down the bowl and ran away.
Brother Jiang curled his lips, "I have to wash the dishes, who will pay me back?"
Jiang Hexi smiled bitterly.
Grandma Jiang looked around and whispered, "Fortunately, we hid the food bag."
After pausing, he said, "Fang'er, it's better for you to hide things. You hide things, grandma, don't worry."
"Okay, grandma, then I'll hide our food first."
After pausing, he said, "If the village is in trouble, there must be no food to raise chickens and ducks. I think it's better to find a chance to cook some chickens and ducks in our family."
"Don't you want to build a house? It's just that time I'll be served for the helpers."
"That's OK."
After dinner, Jiang Hexi put away all the valuable things and asked Grandma Jiang to look at the poultry, but she planned to find someone to help build a house.
As a result, as soon as they walked over, they saw Liu Ergen and his wife walking out of Jiang Dazhuang's house with a gloomy face. The couple were empty-handed and obviously didn't get any cheapness.
Li swears fiercely, "It's so stingy, I can't bear to give it to you at all. Their family is so rich. When they split up, they only gave only 10% of the property in Jiang Hexi's family. But look at it, even Jiang Jiafang
The girl's house also gave us two bowls of porridge and a pot sticker. They did not lose any penny!"
Liu Ergen spitted at Jiang Dazhuang's house, then cursed him fiercely, and then went to find food for the next family.
Jiang Hexi knew that Liu Ergen was just a villain, and she was most resentful. However, she was not afraid of such people, but she would not offend such people easily. She immediately pretended not to see these two people and took a detour towards the road beside her.
Grandpa Jiang Er went to his house.
When Jiang Hexi passed by, Grandma Jiang must have given an egg to Jiang Hexi. All the eggs from Grandpa Jiang Er’s house were hidden in the well in their yard.
The well was only the size of a bowl. I took a hanging basket and placed the things at the bottom and covered it with a large stone to avoid difficulties.
Jiang Hexi refused for a moment and then took it.
"Second Grandpa, I came here to ask you, do you know what reliable masons and stonemasons are nearby? I will go buy stones and blue bricks in the afternoon, and I can start building a house tomorrow."
Grandpa Jiang Er is a carpenter and knows some older craftsmen. He said, "Your second grandma has a younger brother, you call me uncle, that man is a capable man. Not only is the mason who is good at doing well, but he can also dig.
What about the hole."
It turned out that Liang Dawei, the second grandma Jiang's mother's brother, had no choice but to do a hole-threatening business in order to survive.
After Liang Dawei even stayed in this industry for a while, he also became a master and learned some skills.
He is particularly good at digging holes and holes.
