An air-raid shelter should be well-connected and have three burrows, so the choice of location is very important.
Their cave was to be connected to the next door and the opposite side, all the way to the ground in the eldest brother's yard.
The specifications are one meter wide and two meters high, with no limit on length. The top is arched and it will easily collapse if it is dug too wide.
After the shaft was dug and a ladder was set up, three people went down first and dug forward with tools. The rest of the people followed behind, picking out soil and gravel with backpacks and piling them in a corner of the yard.
Maybe it can be used when it is broken into mud bricks in the future.
Digging the ground was very hard work, and no one dared to delay. They almost started working as soon as they got home from get off work. He Chunsheng worked the hardest.
At work, I have to finish the factory's air-raid shelter, and when I get home, I have to dig in my own yard.
After dinner in the evening, I had to come here to speed up the work. I was so tired that I lost several pounds in just a few days.
Wang Taozhi looked distressed and said, "Chunsheng, why don't you just not go to the yard."
In fact, as the main force in carrying and moving soil, she didn't get much rest.
Nowadays, women work like men, planting crops and rice in the countryside, and moving bricks and building walls in the city. What they lack in physical strength they make up for in time and are very hardworking.
In addition to working, she also has to cook and wash clothes for the family, clean the house and take care of her grandchildren. She has never complained about being tired, but instead feels more sorry for her husband and children.
"No, our family is short of manpower to begin with. If the children hadn't stayed over there, and if He Xiaotuan, a strong laborer, hadn't been there, they would have complained."
Everyone has a scale in their heart. If you are not active when digging the hole, you certainly don’t deserve to go in after something happens.
If they really encountered a catastrophic disaster, they would not have to do anything else but to prevent them from entering the air-raid shelter or delay them for a period of time, which would be enough to cost the lives of their entire family.
"Then let's give up this place..."
Wang Taozhi even shook her head, "Mom and Dad are here, and so is Dongbao. She's at a critical stage, and any bumps or scratches won't work.
Although Xiao Jiang has a lot of brute force and works quickly and well, he is young after all and cannot take on the responsibility, so you have to take charge.
Aren't you a cadre in the factory? Take a break whenever you get the chance. Take a nap at noon and you'll be refreshed when you come back."
He Chunsheng wiped his face and said, "It is precisely because I am a cadre that I must set an example. Otherwise, how will others see me?"
"You are honest and you won't slack off. Come on, learn from your third brother and sister-in-law."
Following her gaze, Pan Shuyu was clearing the rubble.
I saw her putting the backpack at the exit, squatting on the ground and picking up stones with her hands. After picking up a handful, she ran a distance to throw them away. After collecting half a basket, she climbed up slowly.
That would have been fine, but she couldn't stand the uneven ground of the air-raid shelter, so she squatted on the ground and scraped it flat with a small shovel made of wood and iron sheets.
It was like a child playing house. It took half a day to level two meters of ground.
If she was asked to pick up soil, she would spill more than half of it, and would fall halfway, with her ankle swollen badly.
When she was asked to use a chisel to loosen the wall, she almost hit the eye socket of the person next to her.
For the sake of her and everyone's safety, Zhao Meiya didn't bother to scold her and let her play aside.
Perhaps the company where Pan Shuyu worked also witnessed her power. When they heard that she was injured, they did not even ask her for leave and immediately approved her to go home and rest.
Pan Shuyu was so moved that she burst into tears and didn't feel despised at all.
He Chunsheng turned his head away speechlessly, "She... most people can't learn this."
As the eldest uncle, he couldn't be too picky about his younger siblings, so he turned and looked towards the kitchen.
Smelling the aroma of meat, she couldn't help but touch her belly and said, "I used to think my mother's cooking was good, but after getting used to Qiu Sheng's cooking, it's just so-so."
The main reason is that my mother is reluctant to add seasoning and oil, so it tastes bland.
"You're just talking nonsense. How can my cooking skills compare to a professional chef? Be careful if she hears you, or she will never give you food again."
The two put down their work and walked towards the kitchen.
Everyone has been working hard these days. Even the stingy Zhao Meiya cooks a meat dish for every meal to nourish everyone.
No need to buy it outside, his family just slaughtered a pig.
For example, today's dish of braised pork, thick slices of meat, are first boiled and then stewed. The pot is full of oil and the fat is two fingers long.
He Chunsheng and others ate without raising their heads and no one spoke. It was obvious that they were really tired and hungry.
They started work late at night and simply slept at He Ruixue's house without taking a shower. They just lay on the floor next to the stove.
In less than half a minute, deafening snoring sounds began to rise one after another.
I slept for less than four hours. When I woke up, I washed my face with cold water and continued working without even opening my eyes.
In the cave, several people's bodies and faces were covered with dirt. Occasionally, dust would blow into their eyes, but they couldn't wipe it with their hands, after all, their hands were dirtier. They could only blink and endure it silently.
Seeing them like this, He Ruixue felt bad.
But every time she wanted to help, even if it was just to lend a hand when handing something over, her mother would make a sharp noise and run over to stop her no matter where she was, which only increased her workload.
Okay, if you don’t want her to do the work, then just pay her.
Unpack the wedding gift package rewarded by the system, take out the sugar water, biscuits and snacks, and carbohydrate bombs mixed with various sugars and oils, and place them on the tray at the exit. Whenever you feel tired, you can go there and eat them to replenish your energy in time.
To prevent excessive sweating, she also replaced cold boiled water with light salt water.
And always have ointment on hand to apply before bed to treat scrapes and blisters.
With her taking care of the logistics, although the few of them were a little tired, they did not suffer any serious physical injuries.
