Shen Zhaochen's father and wife were both in poor health, and his mother was partially blind.
At this point, it would be best if the village did something to show its support!
However, after going out for a walk, Chi Yu still felt a tightness in his chest when he saw his clansmen staring blankly at the ruins.
In Chijia'ao, whether it's a stone house or an earthen house, glutinous rice is needed for binding when building a house.
These days, let alone glutinous rice, even ordinary grains are extremely precious.
It seems she really needs to get the cement out.
Besides clay and lime, what else can be used to make cement?
She needs to think about it, really think it over.
Many of the stones in the houses in the village have become smaller and broken. Could she make use of them?
She didn't buy much lime; it was enough for sterilization, but far from enough to make cement.
Thinking about all this, Chi Yu got home and his mind was filled with these thoughts; he had no energy left to think about anything else.
Dinner was prepared by Chen Xiaomai, Liu Lingling, and Liu Mei.
When Chi Qiao noticed her sister's absent-mindedness after she returned, she pulled her into the main room.
Once the door was closed, he lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
Coming to her senses, Chi Yu saw the worry in her sister's eyes, shook her head, and softly replied:
"No! I just went out for a while, and seeing everyone like this made me feel bad."
Sister, the earthquake has passed, and now every household needs to build a house.
I thought about it and decided I still wanted to make the cement.
If we had cement, the collapsed houses and rubble in the village could still be reused.
This cement requires limestone.
That stuff is hard to buy. I bought only a small amount, which I can only use for sterilization in our village after the earthquake.
I remember I can also make calcium oxide, which is the main component of lime.
For the moment, I can't quite recall how to obtain it.
Chi Qiao reached out and patted her head, saying:
If you can't remember, don't think about it. Don't force yourself.
Besides, it's raining outside now, so if everyone has time, they should tidy up the old houses first.
They need to see which ones can be reused and retrieve them first.
As for rebuilding, that will have to wait.
Upon hearing this, Chi Yu asked, "Sister, what about your family? Did your brother tell you when you're going to build a house?"
Or should we just not build it and buy one in the county town later?
I reckon this place is all ruins now, and the county town probably isn't much worse off.
“Your older brother hasn’t said anything yet, but I reckon he has a plan in mind.”
Also, even if you buy in the county town, you still need to have a house here.
Chijia'ao is our root; we still come back for holidays and festivals!
Upon hearing this, Chi Yu said, "Sister, why don't we take this opportunity to split up the family?"
Zuo You and A Ye are not young anymore, and they have wives and children. Since you don't want to get involved, why don't you come with your older brother? I'll take care of you in your old age.
"When Arden's wife gets pregnant and needs help with postpartum care, we'll go back and lend a hand."
Chi Qiao had thought about this question before, so when she heard Chi Yu say this, she immediately rejected it.
"It's not a good time to divide the family now. Even if we were to divide it, we'd have to wait until Arden's wife is pregnant and gives birth, and until the child is three or four years old."
Your older brother and I are still young. People here believe that as long as the parents are alive, the family doesn't separate.
If only we had separated them earlier, we could have lived with you.
I reckon those two brothers will be torn apart by public criticism.
I think things are fine as they are now.
Chi Yu felt a little disappointed, but didn't continue the topic.
