The snail shells were filled to the brim, leaving only an aisle in the middle for people to walk through, and all around them were things that Tian Tian had collected in the supermarket.
Her snail shell was not very big, about 65 square meters, and she divided it into three rooms. One was a pure warehouse, full of supplies, and the other was a bedroom. Except for the bed and the table, the rest of the space was also filled with things. In order to store more things, she even gave up the wardrobe, and the clothes she usually changed were folded and put together.
Another place is the kitchen, which is only a few square meters. There is a big iron pot and a stove that burns a portable gas tank, and the rest are seasonings and other things.
It’s not that Tian Tian wants to stuff the shell so full. If she puts a little more stuff in, she can stay in the house for a few more days.
Although she was not afraid of being bitten by zombies, she felt disgusted and scared when she saw the zombie's half-bitten face and exposed intestines, so she would definitely avoid seeing it if possible.
Tian Tian remembered that there were barbecue ingredients in the space. She had barbecued and had hotpot in the space before. Although the vegetables and meat were rotten later, she did not throw those things away.
She turned out the barbecue ingredients and ate the roasted sparrows.
After touching her stomach and feeling hungry, Tian Tian grabbed another bag of compressed biscuits and air-dried beef jerky to fill her stomach and sharpen her teeth.
After I finished eating the compressed biscuits and a stick of beef jerky, the hand of the bedside alarm clock pointed to eight o'clock.
Tian Tian felt a little worried when she saw the mineral water piled up in the bedroom. She had placed a lot of mineral water in the space, which she had used for washing, eating and drinking in her previous life.
As a result, when we got here, there was no shortage of water resources, and now these mineral waters can only take up space in the space.
But Tian Tian couldn't pour out all the water because she had also experienced water shortage before.
Tian Tian looked at it for a long time and finally decided to keep it in the space. Maybe she would need to cook in the space in the future, and it would not be convenient to use the well water outside.
After Tian Tian figured it out, she quickly washed up, got out of the snail shell and prepared to go to bed.
She could sleep in the shell, but she didn’t feel safe. And it was also very comfortable to sleep on the kang. Her bedding even smelled like sunshine.
Tian Tian is now accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early. Her schedule is even closer to that of Old Lady Tian. She falls asleep after lying on the kang for a while.
The next day, Tian Tian was not woken up by Old Lady Tian's human-shaped alarm clock. Instead, she slept until she woke up naturally, although she also woke up very early.
Everyone in the family had gone out, leaving Tian Tian alone. As usual, some rice was left in the pot for her.
Tian Tian first went to the toilet to solve her physiological problem. Since she came here, she may have eaten more vegetables, and her daily life is smooth, and she no longer has to worry about constipation.
Generally speaking, there is nothing that Tian Tian is dissatisfied with in her life so far. Although the toilet is not as good as the flush toilets in later generations, going to the toilet after the apocalypse is worse than it is now.
Although the current toilet has some smell, it is still within Tian Tian's acceptable range.
Tian Tian couldn't help but shed a tear when she remembered that she had to save the used water every day to flush the toilet, and she did it once every two days.
After Tian Tian solved the problem, washed up, and finished her meal, she prepared to go out and meet up with her sisters to go up the mountain to pick chestnuts.
Shen Lingling's house is a little far from Tian Tian's house, and one has to cross a piece of land that is neither too big nor too small. By the time Tian Tian reached Shen Lingling's house, her legs were a little weak.
Her body has indeed become weak, Tian Tian thought breathlessly.
"Lingling!" Tian Tian pushed the door open.
"Tian Tian, you're here! Wait for me for a moment!"
Shen Lingling is kneading dough at home. She kneads the dough now, and by the time she comes back at noon, the dough will have risen, just in time for making pancakes.
Shen Lingling is not as favored at home as Tian Tian. She also has to go to the fields to work every day. Yesterday, she specifically told Old Lady Shen that she had an appointment with Tian Tian to go up the mountain to pick chestnuts together. Only with Old Lady Shen's permission could she go up the mountain with Tian Tian.
Seeing that Shen Lingling was still busy in the kitchen, Tian Tian put the basket in the yard and went into the house to rest for a while.
She coveted the chestnuts from the mountains, so she brought the largest earthen basket in her house, hoping to bring back more chestnuts. However, the basket was heavy enough.
She sat on a small stool and watched Shen Lingling busying herself inside and outside the house.
After Shen Lingling had packed up the house, she pulled out a soil basket from the house and smiled at Tian Tian, "I'm done, let's go!"
Tian Tian also got on her basket and went out with Shen Lingling.
The mountains here are not big. It takes about 40 to 50 minutes to climb a small hill. There are no wild animals on the mountains, so adults are very confident in letting children go up the mountains to play.
At this time, and in the spring when birds are breeding, many children go up the mountain to pick fruits and take bird eggs.
No one knew whether the chestnuts and hazelnuts on the mountain that Tian Tian and her friends came to were planted intentionally by someone or grew naturally, but there were many chestnut trees and hazelnut seedlings on the mountain. In autumn, the ground was covered with thick chestnuts and hazelnuts. There was no need to move, just squat on the ground to pick them up.
Tian Tian picked up a small wooden stick, stepped on the cracked peach, and used the stick to pull out the chestnuts inside the peach. She was wearing homemade cloth shoes, and she grimaced from time to time because of the thorns on the peach.
"If I had known earlier I would have brought the knitted gloves. The thorns are too prickly!" Tian Tian pulled off the hollow peach that had stuck in her shoe and said depressedly.
She just wanted to pick up the only chestnut left in the peach, but she got pricked hard by it, even though she was being very careful.
"Wool gloves are useless. The thorns on the peaches can pierce the shoes. How can wool gloves be thicker than shoes?" Shen Lingling said as if it was normal.
She skillfully stepped on the peaches with her feet, picked out the chestnuts with a stick, and put them in the basket. She did the whole process skillfully and quickly, and soon the bottom of the basket was filled with chestnuts.
Tian Tian looked at Shen Lingling's actions with envy. After being pricked on the foot several times, she finally wisely gave up the idea of picking chestnuts from peaches and began to search everywhere for chestnuts that had burst from peaches.
These chestnuts are not as ubiquitous and conspicuous as peaches. They are often scattered among the bushes and in the grass. Some are very small and may even be stepped on into the soil. No one knows whether they were stepped on by humans or animals.
Tian Tian could see one chestnut every time she looked up as she picked one. The more chestnuts she picked, the farther she was from Shen Lingling.
"I'm so tired!" Tian Tian stood up with the heavy basket and pounded her waist. Her waist was sore from squatting for so long.
Tian Tian relaxed her body while looking around.
It’s better now, look at the trees around, how green they are; smell the air, how fresh it is.
Hmm? What is this?
