Chapter 13 Having a Home
Because we walked for a long time during the day and came back very late, we didn't do much work today, and several people rested early.
At night, everyone covered themselves with thick quilts, with old quilts underneath. Although it was still not very good, it was already very good.
The next morning, Lu Jinnian first cooked some porridge for everyone.
After so long, they finally had rice, and everyone's stomach was satisfied.
"Brother, this porridge is so delicious." Lu Jinqiu smacked his lips, savoring the fragrance of rice in his mouth.
Lu Jinnian looked at these brothers and sisters, and felt really sad.
But the end of the world is the same, there is no food. It is common for people to lose their lives for a bite of food.
These three children have not experienced this kind of thing, so they are still lucky.
The luckiest one may be that he came by himself.
After the meal, several brothers and sisters went out to collect firewood, and Lu Jinnian cut branches nearby to make a shack.
This time she made it very big, using four pieces of wood horizontally as the foundation, and then stacked it up layer by layer.
Grooves were cut out at both ends, and the layers were stacked up to make it particularly strong. Four pieces of wood were used to fix the corners of the wall so that it would not be pushed down from inside or outside. When it
reached a height of 1.8 meters, the roof was sealed.
She built a sloping roof, which would not accumulate snow when it snowed, and would not accumulate water when it rained.
However, the roof needed to be waterproof, which she did not need to consider yet, because the house was only half done...
Looking at the unfinished product, she was already exhausted. Even if you are strong, you cannot avoid fatigue.
In the evening, everyone ate the same rice porridge. Although there was no meat or vegetables, everyone was very satisfied.
As long as there is food, who cares what to eat.
In the next two days, Lu Jinnian worked hard to finish the house, except for the roof.
In the end, she had no choice but to secretly hide a layer of waterproof cloth in the middle, and then laid two layers of pine needles and branches.
The same is true inside, all paved with pine needles.
Looking at the finished house, she hurried to fix the fireplace so that it would not be cold in winter.
As for the kang, forget it. It is easy to set the house on fire if it is built in this house.
Although it will be very cold in winter, safety issues need to be considered. At most, we can burn more firewood, but we cannot be in danger.
When trying out the fireplace, everyone came back and was very surprised to see the finished house.
"Brother, you are so awesome!" Lu Jinqiu has been very active recently. Maybe he has something to eat, so he is very energetic.
Seeing his happy look, the other two brothers and sisters were equally happy.
"What's wrong, Xiao Xin?" Lu Jinnian looked at his younger sister and found that she was crying?
After being together for so long, except for the time when she was besieged by the villagers, she has never seen her cry once.
Lu Jinxin's eyes were full of tears. She wiped her tears and said, "Brother, we finally have a home."
Yes, this is home. In her imagination, the family is together and has a proper house.
The shack before could shelter us from the wind and rain, but it was pitch black inside and didn't look like a home at all.
Hearing her words, Lu Jinnian sighed. This house is not really a home, but at least we have to get through this winter, and then build a bigger house in the spring.
Otherwise, Lu Jinnian would not be able to build the house by himself, because no matter how powerful a person is, his ability is limited.
"Xiao Xin, we will have a big house in the future, and things will get better and better." She said softly, and it was also a promise she made to her brothers and sisters.
I'm sorry that each of these three days is a thousand words. There
are too many real things, especially at the end of the year. I will resume updating soon!
Also, please vote more, thank you.
