Chi Kang had eaten before coming over. He was also going to school today, and since he hadn't come yesterday, he made a special trip here.
Hearing his aunt's words, he nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
My aunt's food is like something from heaven. Every extra bite he gets is a bonus, so how could he not eat it?
Unaware of his thoughts, Chi Yu finished clearing the snow in the courtyard, closed the gate, and led the people into the space.
The space was warm, and the things that were originally on the dining table had been moved to the kitchen, where now there was only a large clay pot.
Chi Yu ladled a bowl of porridge for Chi Kang, but before he could even take a bite, he heard his uncle say:
"Kang, the weather is getting more and more strange."
The gods were worried that your aunt would run out of food while taking care of the child, so they specially expanded this cave.
Now there are more than 20 acres of land outside than before. Starting today, you will stay here every night.
Your uncle will talk to your parents.
Chi Kang understood what his uncle meant: he would stay with his aunt from today onwards.
We'll come into this cave to cultivate land and grow crops.
Thinking of the sorghum and millet that would be ready for harvest soon, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes that his aunt had mentioned would be ready for harvest soon, he nodded repeatedly.
Those were all grains, and they were even sent to my aunt by the gods.
These past few months, the weather has been very unpredictable and abnormal.
Nobody knows what next year will bring.
Their Chijia'ao village doesn't produce grain, and the grain that everyone has now, apart from a small portion that was specifically bought when they came down from the mountain.
The rest were all bought by my aunt.
Nobody knows how much food my aunt has left; if she has a lot, that would be fine.
If the numbers are insufficient, coupled with a poor harvest, people will likely feel anxious and fearful.
Now that he has these dozens of acres of land, and the high-yield crops his aunt mentioned, at least he doesn't have to worry about the villagers of Chijia'ao going hungry!
It must be said that Chi Kang's thoughts are extremely similar to those of Chi Dahu.
After quickly drinking a bowl of porridge, he went out with Chi Dahu to look at the extra land.
After they finished walking around, he said, "Uncle, the chicken coop is quite big. How about we raise a pig or some rabbits there sometime?"
"Forget about pigs, there's nowhere to buy piglets these days."
As for rabbits, catching wild rabbits to raise is an option.
Moreover, rabbits reproduce quickly, and can have several litters a year.
Alright, hurry up and go to school after you've finished reading, or you'll be late.
"We can talk about it after you finish school."
Chi Dahu plans to continue leading Chi Kang to open up the land starting today.
We'll think about building houses after we've cleared all the land and planted everything.
With a nephew helping out, he no longer needs to get up every now and then at night to remove the snow from the tarpaulin shed.
To be honest, he's getting old after all, and he can't keep up with all this going on night after night!
After breakfast, Chi Kang went to school, while Chi Dahu dug for wine near the chicken coop.
After digging out ten jars of wine, he couldn't bear to dig out the rest.
"Little Fish, these should be almost done."
Wine is expensive, and people are reluctant to spend all their money on it.
I estimate these ten jars will last until after the Lunar New Year.
"Okay, then brother, could you help me move two jars to the shop later? The rest can stay in the west wing."
After you're done with all this, come back and catch up on your sleep. When you're awake, if you're feeling alright, I won't interfere.
Chi Dahu nodded and left the wine in the space after he moved it out.
Chi Yu, on the other hand, still had to go see the clan leader today, so he took his sister and son out of the space.
