Building a toilet is urgent, but no one has any better solution. After all, everything is in short supply these days.
The time travelers also knew that this was probably the stage where the unspeakable disaster had not yet officially begun, so they had to quickly get everything done first, so that when the time came, they would not have to say that there was no cesspool, as if the whole family did not poop.
But the village couldn't really offer much help, except to show everyone how their own toilets looked. After all, land reclamation was about to begin, and who had the time to care about others? Unless they were providing food.
So no matter what Director Li said, the village chief still refused to use the villagers to build toilets for these people. Why? No matter how good it was, it would matter. It was just a toilet. Nothing was more important than clearing the land.
"Hey, just dig up the original toilet pit and put a piece of board on it. You can use it for now. It's used all day long, don't waste it."
"..." Wasteful? Just put up a random board? Wang Cuiping said seriously, "Village head, you really don't understand the importance of hygiene. This will directly affect the health of all the villagers. What kind of diseases will happen then..."
Village Chief Li asked in bewilderment, "How is this possible? Who doesn't have a toilet?"
"Alright." Director Li stood up. "No more such unreasonable talk. Old Li, take someone to take a look and help if you can. Don't make it too complicated, just make sure it's usable. It'll only take a few months, and after winter, we can do a proper repair next year."
"Why."
After Director Li finished speaking, he looked at Wang Cuiping and her group and continued, "We are in a special situation now, so we should just deal with it for now. If we don't open up the wasteland, we will have trouble getting food next year, so don't be anxious! Take your time. Eat your meal one bite at a time, so..."
I got stuck here. I can't poop all at once, right?
Everyone fell silent for a moment. After all, this didn't really need to be said. However, for the time travelers, whether or not this matter should be simplified was irrelevant. They just wanted to talk about it. After all, the matter had to be made public. After all, no one had accumulated much wealth in these days.
So the problem was solved relatively smoothly. After all, Director Li was responsible for appeasing the people, Village Chief Li was responsible for simplifying the situation, and Wang Cuiping and others were responsible for "feeling wronged". In short, the problem of the cesspool was solved.
Every household has dug out the original pit, and is still considering whether to put wooden boards on it. There is nothing disgusting at the moment, after all, nothing has been pulled in. However, the pit has been dug, and the wooden boards are still being hesitated. The outside has not been surrounded yet. After all, this can delay time. There is no way to be slow. As for the work points of fertilizer, it is not impossible to refuse or take less.
Chicken shit, duck shit, etc.... Just add some pig shit when the time comes. It’s not impossible to use them if you mix them together, right?
However, some people did it quickly, namely those elderly people who traveled through time and space without any benefits. Of course, they are now middle-aged people, especially in this era, it is not wrong to say that they are in their prime.
These people didn't receive any compensation, so their mentality was definitely different from that of ordinary time travelers. They felt a greater sense of urgency. Although they had other people's resources, they still had to rely on themselves for many things in the future. Without work points, what would they eat? And if they had to farm their own land, fertilizer was very important, so naturally they started digging holes early!
After all, apart from this, they have no place to go to the toilet. To be honest, they are also quite conflicted now, because other people have given them paper, but the problem is that this thing is gone after use. Can they still shamelessly ask others for it in the future?
Moreover, there is actually no advantage for them after traveling through time. They don’t know as many things as young people, nor do they have such flexible brains as orphans, and they don’t bring as many modern things.
To be honest, the only advantage they have over this group of young people is that they can adapt to this era better. They know how to farm, they have suffered hardships and can endure hardships, so it is nothing more than changing a place and starting over the life they used to live before.
Of course, this also includes this kind of dry toilet.
What they need to adapt to is just a place they are not familiar with, a place that is more desolate than the place where they lived when they were young.
These past few years have been the saddest in their memory. I believe it is similar everywhere, but in the place where they originally lived, at least it was not that difficult.
In those years, there was little food, and almost every household had several children. So what to do when there was not enough to eat? Naturally, everyone had to find a way to use the limited food to fill the stomachs of the majority.
Fortunately, the life there was not as desolate as it is here now, and there were enough sweet potatoes to eat. Shredded sweet potatoes, shredded sweet potatoes, shredded sweet potatoes... It was indeed a bit nauseating to eat them all, but compared to those who had nothing to eat, weren't they one of the lucky few?
The weather here is not good and the land is not fertile. If they want to avoid a miserable situation in the future, they must start preparing early.
They all knew very well in their hearts that others would indeed help them because they were fellow time travelers, but this help was limited and could not be unlimited, and they themselves had to be clear about this.
After all, confused old people are the most annoying. No one wants to be the bad guy who has grown old in the eyes of young people. So we must be self-reliant and strong. Of course, before that, we don’t have to worry too much about borrowing things. But if you want to plant the land well, you can’t just rely on the local products at hand. Although the production team can borrow some farm tools, those things are not as useful as they are now, not to mention the most important seeds and seedlings.
