Chapter 13 Those who stayed and those who left



"The oil lamp needs to be placed properly. Get a clay pot, add some kerosene, and place it on the table. This way it will be more convenient to use."

"I have some old candlesticks here. They're made to last, not second-hand. Put some extra in the candle drawer."

"Oh no!" Mother Xu looked at the kang speechlessly. "I didn't buy the small broom and mini dustpan that I used to use on the table. I really forgot about this."

Xu Tiantu clapped his hands: "I bought it, I bought it."

She was quite proud of it. She had collected a lot of these things. She would take down any old things she saw. "There are two kinds: palm and reed. Which one do you want, Mom?"

"Take one each, and have a spare ready."

"Where's the rag?"

"Ten."

"Take out the bamboo basket too."

“Alright!!”

"Build a forge under the outermost shed."

“Alright!!”

"Earth oven."

"OKK!!"

"There are two earthen stoves outside!"

"Moo question!"

Each family member divided the work among themselves, because everyone actually used their compensation to buy a lot of things, so now they have quite a lot of inventory, so they can just look at what they need and take some out.

But I am really worried: "Those vintage clothes we bought are still wearable for adults, but we haven't bought any for children yet. Who knew they would suddenly become so small? What should I do?"

Grandma Xu didn't care at all: "Take out the sewing machine and put it in the corner."

"Isn't it a bit too big these days?"

Grandma Xu said, "We immigrated here, so we have the final say. We have to make clothes now, and maybe we can get some work in the future. If we want to restock, we have to wait until we're settled in, everyone is familiar with each other, and we visit more often. By then, it will be really difficult to get anything out. So get what you want now."

Mother Xu thought it was true, and quickly laid out the large items. She realized what was missing: "We don't have rice milling equipment. We can't move everything we grow here to the other side of the portal, but even there, we don't have the machinery."

Xu Tiantu put his hands on his hips and laughed, "Everything can be bought in my app, but we don't need this. I thought of buying these before, you are all idiots!!"

He had a completely smug look on his face, as if it said, "Come and praise me, come and praise me."

Mother Xu was amused and said, "Let's go and see what treasures you have."

When the group arrived in the yard, Xu Tiantu took out a bunch of farm tools one by one, even the primitive wooden rice mill, and two sets of millstones, large and small.

"Do you want a stone trough?"

"That's a must, and then we'll see what we can raise."

Mother Xu asked, "Do you have a big stone mortar for making rice cakes?"

"Yes, there are the ones that you step on with your feet, and the ones that you hammer with your hands. Which one do we want?"

Mother Xu thought about it and decided to use feet to step on it. Although it was a little big, it would be fine to use it to dry some things on the wooden shelf.

This primitive tool for pounding rice cakes is very useful. It has a huge stone mortar at the bottom and a wooden frame on top. People walking on it can hold on to the frame while stepping on something similar to a seesaw structure, which makes it easier to apply force and naturally makes pounding the rice cakes easier.

Add in some racks for drying clothes, and the yard soon filled up with stuff.

Fortunately, there is a spare room, which is good for sorting out miscellaneous items. Otherwise, if so many things were piled up in the yard, they would be exposed to wind, sun and rain and would probably become unusable soon.

Xu Tiantu said cheerfully, "I used to dream of opening an inn, and this place looks just like it!"

Mother Xu was speechless: "Isn't this just farm fun? Are you happy? You can have fun for decades."

"..." Xu Tiantu felt as if he had been hammered. This kind of fun could be fun for a while, but to keep doing it for decades? No one could do that.

Wuuuuuuuuuuu!! Luckily, her system can access the internet, hahahahahaha!! As long as she can still have fun eating melons and playing, she thinks that with her homebody nature, there is no problem at all.

Sure! Little bunny!

Just as the family was happily complaining, a deafening cry suddenly broke out outside. At first, it was just an occasional howl, but in the end, the sound gradually became quieter and became a continuous whimper.

It sounds like every household is crying, which makes people feel creepy.

The Xu family was shocked, and Xu Tiantu even hugged his mother's legs and asked, "What happened?"

"Yeah, what's going on?" Grandma Xu also stood on tiptoe to look outside: "It looks like it's not just one or two families' business."

Those who are here now are all former residents of the community, which means they are all professionals from the modern era.

"Let's go see what's going on first."

"Go and have a look."

At this time, people came out from the next room. There were three of them: a strong young man with a beard, a woman with short hair, and a child holding her hand.

However, because everyone in the family has become younger, no one knows whether the child is a real child or a fake child who has grown smaller like them.

When their eyes met, the young man immediately came over with his family. Although he had a full beard, his smile was still very gentle. Perhaps because of his age, he looked at the other party and greeted everyone with a smile before asking Mr. Xu: "Brother, which building are you originally from? I live on the top floor of Building 5."
