Both Song Chengjian and Song Chengyu are meticulous in their work.
Before things are done, they always put pressure on themselves, especially Song Chengyu.
I spent the whole morning walking around the coast...
The fifth brother looked at his second brother, whose face was even blacker than charcoal, and dared not complain of being tired at all.
The one who understands Song Chengjian best is still his eldest brother.
After Song Chenghou clarified his position and offered some guidance, Song Chengjian realized that he had been overly anxious...
So, he began to share his thoughts.
"This morning I observed that the fishermen's houses are mainly thatched huts;
The Tanka people live and eat on their boats; I didn't see any inhabited stone houses on the shore...
Further to the east, perhaps formerly used for military purposes, there are one or two dilapidated single-room stone houses...
On the less populated beach, there are also stones and pieces of wood that have floated in from the sea, all of which can be used as building materials...
While thatched huts are easy to build, since the typhoon, they've likely been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, just like Xiao Bao's house...
Ultimately, this is not a long-term solution.
If we consult the abbot and Xiao Bao's family, the location we looked at this morning can be used as a building site...
I think it's better to build a house with brick and stone structures; they're more sturdy and durable...
Only when the body is at peace can the mind be at ease.
Only then will I have the energy to think about the future...
future......
After Song Chengjian finished speaking, his eldest brother and younger brothers all seemed to be deep in thought.
Indeed, although the Song family members have never been people who pursue fame and fortune, they are by no means scheming and despicable.
Instructed by Song Yunsong, how could they be content to live on a deserted island, struggling to survive every day, even if they were exiled to a deserted island?
Song Chenghou affirmed, "Second brother is absolutely right, I completely agree. If no one has any objections, then let's do it your way!"
"Okay, I'll listen to my second brother!"
"Let me hear what my second brother has to say!"
......
The brothers agreed in unison, and that's how the plan to build a stone house was decided.
Song Chenghou reminded him, "Besides confirming the address, the second brother can also discuss with the fifth brother the structure and function of the house..."
We shouldn't draw too much attention here. It's better to squeeze in and make ourselves known first; safety comes first.
Song Chengjian nodded, and Song Chengyu added, "On the way back, my second brother and I discussed it, and we were planning to do this..."
This is a good opportunity to discuss this with everyone. We're planning to build a suite...
Shishi is still young, and we didn't feel comfortable letting her sleep in a room alone, so we separated a room for her, but it's connected to our room...
That way, she won't be afraid.
The rest of us will sleep in the communal sleeping area, which is safer.
There is a main hall in the middle, which is convenient for visitors.
The kitchen and bathroom were located on the east side, and the outhouse was located on the west side...
My second brother and I planned to cultivate a large vegetable garden next to the outhouse, so that being near the outhouse would provide natural fertilizer...
Wastewater from the kitchen and bathroom can also be diverted to the vegetable garden for irrigation...
As soon as Song Chengyu finished speaking, Lao Shi immediately exclaimed, "That's a great idea!"
The fourth, sixth, seventh, and eighth brothers all chimed in.
Seawater is undrinkable; the fishermen and the abbot both reminded them yesterday that seawater is undrinkable.
Given the preciousness of water resources, Song Chengjian and Song Chengyu decided to focus on reusing them.
"Hmm..." Song Chenghou affirmed, "Your idea is excellent, very good! No one can think of a better one..."
Song Chengyu's face lit up with slight joy at his elder brother's approval of his suggestion, but he was immediately drawn to the little figure in front of his brother...
Wen Shishi didn't hear a single word her brothers were saying.
She stared intently at the razor clams, oysters, and conch shells resting on the stone slab...
It's as if the slight sizzling sound produced by the heat is the most beautiful sound in the world.
Watching the seashells and oysters slowly open, Wen Shishi found it all incredibly fascinating...
My grandfather always shucked the clams I ate before; I'd never seen them grilled like this before.
So focused was Wen Shishi that she didn't notice a string of glistening tears trickling down the corner of her mouth...
"Slurp..."
Wen Shishi subconsciously sniffed, then looked up and realized that her brothers were all staring at her without saying a word...
Her older brother used the lining of his sleeve to wipe her drool. Wen Shishi then realized what was happening and looked away shyly...
Song Chengxin, the tenth brother, rang out, "What are you looking at? What's so interesting? You're making our little sister embarrassed!"
He was clearly just chiming in, but he was the one laughing the loudest!
Wen Shishi turned around and looked at him again, and Song Chengxin immediately became more composed.
Song Chengliang smiled and said to Wen Shishi, "Let Fourth Brother take a look, are all these ready?"
As she spoke, she turned the razor clams and oysters over in her hands to check if the meat inside was cooked.
Song Chenghou advised, "Make sure to grill seafood thoroughly to avoid stomach upset..."
The other brothers in the Song family all noticed that ever since their younger sister was born, the older brother had been worrying about her constantly...
The number of times I've been nagged and reminded is more than in the previous year.
While checking, Song Chengliang looked at the other brothers and asked, "Have you all eaten your fill?"
After you've eaten your fill, all of these are for your little sister!
Next time I'll dig up some more and roast them for you!
"good!"
"good!"
