That night, the Zhao family spent a long time cleaning up, and only managed to fall asleep before dawn.
Zhao Wei couldn't sleep at all. He felt very uncomfortable.
It's not the shoulder that hurts, nor the hand, but...
Anyway, he needed his wife's comfort to get better, and he kept on tossing and turning until the rooster crowed three times. Only then did he stop when he heard the sound of Wang Caigu sweeping the snow in the yard.
Yunxiu sat up in panic and prepared to get up and put on her clothes.
Zhao Wei leaned against the bedside table with a satisfied look on his face and pushed it back: "Why are you in such a hurry? Go to sleep for a while, and I'll call you when it's time to eat."
Yunxiu said coquettishly: "That won't work. If people find out, they will laugh at us."
This time she had to get up no matter what. She didn't want to be looked at strangely by her mother-in-law and grandmother, and then forced to eat eggs to replenish her body. That would really be like... hiding in a hole in the ground.
Zhao Wei had no way to deal with her stubbornness and could only let her do what she wanted.
The main thing is that she looks energetic. She should be fine after not sleeping for a night. Moreover, after nourishing herself for these days, her face is rosy and her complexion is good.
Unexpectedly, his legs went weak as soon as he touched the ground, and he almost fell down in such a panic.
Fortunately, he was right next to her and quickly hugged her from behind, otherwise it would have been a huge embarrassment.
Yunxiu's pretty face flushed red, and she pinched his waist angrily, annoyed that he had no self-control and made her lose all strength.
It is rude not to reciprocate, so Zhao Wei pinched her back. Seeing that Yunxiu was about to get angry, he coaxed her in her ear for a long time before taking her hand and walking out of the room.
At this time, after a night of snow, the outside world was covered with silver. The sky and the earth were vast and white, which was indescribably pleasing to the eyes. It made people feel very good and they couldn't help but open their arms and embrace this beautiful land.
This era is really beautiful, with simple people and things, and a future full of hope. Compared with the gunfire and hail of bullets in the previous life, it is so happy that I can fly.
After a long time, Zhao Wei, who had finished sighing, remembered the four wolf cubs he brought back, and hurried to the kitchen to check on them, making sure they were not frozen to death.
At this time, they were wrapped in a torn piece of clothes by Wang Caigu, and were crying with hunger, like a crying child, calling for the mother wolf to awaken a burst of vigorous vitality.
Wang Caigu was having a headache, wondering what to cook for such a small wolf cub to eat. She had never fed such a small animal before.
There was no goat's milk. It was a rare commodity in the countryside. Not to mention a kid, even a baby might not be able to drink milk.
People nowadays lack oil and food, and women are facing the dilemma of lack of milk. Therefore, many people survived by eating rice milk soup when they were young.
Zhao Wei took over this job and used rice porridge cooked with meat broth and added some wild vegetables dried in the summer.
These were all obtained by exchanging eggs with others. The wild vegetables in their home had long been picked up by their grandmother and her three sons.
In this winter, everything is bleak, the weather is cold and the ground is frozen. Nothing can grow in the ground. You can’t buy anything in the market. Who has extra food to sell to others? We don’t even have enough to eat ourselves.
In this way, a big pot is prepared, which can be eaten by humans and wolf cubs, and there is no need to make extra food, which saves trouble.
Perhaps because they were very hungry, the four wolf cubs ate voraciously and showed no signs of being uncomfortable leaving their mother wolf.
Animals' ability to survive is quite strong.
It's just that the weather is cold and we can't take it out for a walk, so it has to do all the poop and piss in the nest, which is quite dirty when you think about it.
So I went to find my grandfather.
At this time, my grandfather's legs and feet had recovered quite well, and he could already walk a little with the help of a cane.
But he got used to sitting in a wheelchair, mainly because it was spacious and could be covered with a thick blanket, making it convenient for him to do bamboo weaving work.
Seeing that the new house had been built, Zhao Wei had already asked the carpenters in the village to help customize the doors, windows, doors, and furniture.
What my grandfather is making now are some brand new winnowing baskets, scoop dustpans, bamboo frames, bamboo backpacks, etc., which are tools that farmers use on a daily basis.
A new home means a new look, so of course you can make it new and everything brand new, which is a better omen.
When Zhao Wei arrived, he saw him busy chopping bamboo. He held a small, sharp machete in his hand and smoothly split the bamboo into two, then into four... His movements were so smooth that it seemed like he was performing performance art. Zhao Wei couldn't help but be attracted by it.
This is the charm of handmade crafts, which can make people calm down. If he has free time, he also likes to do these to pass the time and cultivate his character.
"Grandpa, can you help me get forty or fifty bamboo strips, a bamboo nest, and a bamboo mat the same size as your cushion for the wolf cub, ahem..."
Zhao Wei has split bamboo strips before, but he didn't do it very well. The splits were uneven, either too wide or too narrow, or they were directly broken, and he might even cut his hands.
After all, every profession has its own expertise, and when it comes to professional matters, you still have to find professionals to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
He knew how to do the rest of the steps. He just needed to build a small bamboo house and put it in the kitchen.
When the weather gets hotter and the wolf cubs grow bigger, we will use wooden strips to make a bigger one outside.
He only wanted two of the four wolves. The remaining two were for Erlaizi and the others to raise. They were too young now, so they were raised together for easier management.
At the same time, when it comes to taming wolves, you have to set rules from a very young age so that they can play a better role when they grow up.
When the old grandfather heard this request, he immediately became excited and started to work vigorously.
