After Lu Zhiye returned home, he opened the ice cellar in the backyard.
He built this ice cellar specially for him.
Although the temperature in the space can be kept constant, he is basically not at home most of the time.
If you want to store some meat or something in the summer, you naturally have to think of more ways.
A cellar was built so that ice could be used in the summer when the weather was hot.
Two-thirds of the cellar in the backyard is buried underground, which can keep the underground temperature stable.
At the bottom of the cellar, there was a layer of wood laid on the ground.
Then, straw and reeds are erected around the cellar to effectively isolate it from the outside land temperature.
When you go to the river to get ice, get more ice and place them layer by layer on top of straw.
Lu Zhiye saw this method of storing ice in a book.
I originally just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good.
In fact, the main reason is that the winter in Heilongjiang Province is relatively long.
The overall temperature was very low, and the educated youth camp also followed Lu Zhiye's example and built an ice cellar.
Because there were often aunts who went to the educated youth sites to study, over time, they discovered such ice cellars.
Gradually, this method of bricklaying spread throughout the village.
Some people find it troublesome to build an ice cellar, so they choose to work together to build one.
Before, when everyone went to make ice and ice lanterns, Lu Zhiye made one for each person.
Now that Wen Shize and the others have come, if they want to play, they naturally need one in their hands.
Lu Zhiye picked up two square pieces of ice and walked up, breathing cold air.
Wen Shize was a little puzzled: "What are you doing with the ice?"
"There will be an ice lantern activity at the commune later. He He said you may not have seen it, so she asked me to take you with me.
I'll take advantage of this moment to carve two ice lanterns."
Since time is short, naturally I don’t pursue anything exquisite.
After simply carving two pumpkin ice lanterns, Lu Zhiye smiled and said to Wen Shize, "Let's go. He He is already waiting at the brigade headquarters."
Ningxia looked at what was in Lu Zhiye's hand with curiosity.
"Did you just build this?"
"Well, I'll give it to you guys first. I also need to take out the Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan ice lanterns."
Ningxia happily held the ice lantern in her hand, but when she saw Lu Zhiye coming out with four other ice lanterns, she suddenly felt that her pumpkin ice lantern was too ugly.
Look at the sculpture made by others!!
Lu Zhiye explained calmly, "These are the patterns they chose themselves. I forgot about this before, so I simply carved two for you."
As Lu Zhiye walked out, he shouted to the next yard: "An An, Xiao An, let's go to the commune!"
Xiao An was still a little timid when he walked out.
Yan Wenqing smiled and rubbed his head: "Brother calls you to go, just go."
Xiao An nodded, remembering what his mother had said before: "Don't cause trouble for your brother."
Now is not usual, because his sister-in-law's relatives are here and he can't cause trouble for them.
As time passed, Xiao An's health got better and better, and he also figured out a lot of things.
Although Lu Zhiye treated him like his own brother, Xiao An was still a little reserved when facing Lu Zhiye.
Lu Zhiye smiled and handed the most beautiful dragon to Xiao An: "Tuantuan and Yuanyuan said you like dragons, so I carved this specially for you."
Xiao An's dragon is not transparent in color, and the horns on its head are dyed green. I don't know how Lu Zhiye did it.
The whole dragon looks vivid and stands out among the crowd.
Xiao An smiled so hard that his teeth were showing: "Thank you, brother!"
Lu Zhiye smiled and rubbed his head, and the four of them walked towards the brigade headquarters in a hurry.
The yard of the brigade headquarters was crowded with people, and almost everyone was holding a beautiful ice lantern in their hands.
As soon as Da Niu saw Xiao An coming, he waved at him happily.
"Xiao An, come quickly!"
There was a child standing behind Daniu, it was none other than Zhong Muqing.
He was holding a crooked ice lantern in his hand. Looking at its ugly appearance, Lu Zhiye knew that it was made by a master.
In the past two years, he would also casually give Zhong Muqing a carving, but his master's fatherly love took over and he insisted on doing it himself.
This year's ones are at least presentable. The ice lanterns of previous years were so ugly.
When Ningxia saw the ice lantern in Zhong Muqing's hand, she couldn't help but grinning. Finally, there was someone whose ice lantern was uglier than hers.
Zhong Muqing was not at all reserved and stood among the crowd with confidence.
Some children asked with a smile: "Brother Xiaoqing, your ice lantern is too ugly, isn't it?
Did you do this yourself?
Zhong Muqing raised his voice and said proudly, "My father made it!"
"That's too ugly! I've been making ice lanterns for so many years, and I've never seen one as ugly as this."
Children's words are innocent and do not contain any malicious intent.
Zhong Muqing didn't bother with them. He had changed a lot in recent years. He used to be timid and didn't dare to walk into the crowd.
Now under the leadership of Da Niu, we can integrate well into the group.
Captain Lu also gave a message in the village: Don’t involve children in what happens to adults.
So at the beginning, there were still villagers in the village who didn't want their children to play with Zhong Muqing.
Later, under the leadership of Da Niu, everyone liked to go up the mountain with him to collect grass for pigs.
Over time, the adults became too lazy to care!
Lu Yong stood on the tractor and shouted, "There are too many of us. Both tractors have to make three or four trips. Anyone who has a wheelbarrow should use it.
This will save you from going too late and missing out on all the rewards!"
An aunt cursed and said, "We have been waiting here for so long, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Lu Yong chuckled: "I just thought everyone knew it."
The crowd dispersed in twos and threes, and the remaining people were just enough to fit on two tractors.
Lu Zhiye helped Wen Sihe onto the cart, and the sound of an ox cart rumbling could be heard not far away.
The two little ones were protected in Lu Zhiye's arms. Xiao An sat next to Wen Sihe and unconsciously stretched out his hand to protect Wen Sihe.
Wen Sihe felt warm inside when seeing this.
The entire tractor was loaded with things. Tiezhu sat in his father's arms. While Lu Yong was driving the tractor, he secretly poked his head out from under his armpit.
His eyes fell on Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, and he obviously wanted to play with them.
Lu Yong patted Tiezhu's head gently and said, "Put on your hat and sit down quickly, or you'll get a pimple on your face."
Tiezhu carefully curled up in his father's arms. Qiao Qianqian did not come. She had been feeling unwell these past two days, so she did not come to join in the fun.
Finally we arrived at the commune and all the nearby open spaces were full.
Lu Yong finally found a spot for the tractor and shouted to the tractors, "Everyone, come back quickly after the sidelight competition is over.
It was dark and the road was slippery, making it difficult to walk, and we couldn't watch for too long.
If it’s too late, we won’t be able to catch the tractor and we’ll have to walk back by ourselves!”
