Xu Chen had already communicated with his mother about the allocation of houses after the prayer event at Shangliang, so the arrangements were made very quickly.
A group of men slept on both sides of the gate, with two people in each house. All eight houses were occupied, except for Xu Chen, who was arranged to live in the innermost room by his mother and a group of older women.
On the east and west sides of the yard are the living areas for all the women. There are a total of twelve houses. There are four rooms left for two people to live in. They are temporarily used to store pottery, animal skins, linen, linen, linen and other daily necessities.
There are three rooms on each side of the fire pit and kitchen in the innermost place. Mother Ba, Ye and the older children occupy two rooms. Xu Chen occupies one of the three rooms on the other side. The remaining two rooms are temporarily used as warehouses to store various items.
Food and random items from the exchange.
At present, for the Ba tribe, which has less than fifty people, sleeping in one room is more than enough for two people.
Originally, according to Xu Chen's idea, adult men and women should live in pairs, so as to ensure a plan similar to monogamy. Over time, a system and habits will gradually form, but in the end he did not
I brought it up because this is completely inconsistent with the current tribal living habits. In addition, there are obviously more women than men in the tribe. Such a match will definitely leave many women alone, which will inevitably lead to conflicts within the tribe over time.
Worrying not about scarcity but about inequality is a permanent contradiction in human society.
However, after allocating the house, he still reminded a group of aunts that if they want to sleep with a man at night, it is best to discuss the place with the companions who live with them. In short, they should not squeeze three people into one bed, two people driving piles and one watching, or three people
Play game together.
After all, civilized morality is also very important.
Although Xu Chen does not advocate the defense of men and women, he does not want to think that with so many rooms, men and women will still be as chaotic and casual as living in groups in a cave.
After all, as human civilization progresses, moral restraint and ideological progress have a far greater impact than food, clothing and housing.
Only when human beings understand shame, honor and disgrace, and know how to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, can we truly build a civilization that conforms to a correct concept of development.
Therefore, Xu Chen hopes that under his guidance, he can slowly cultivate the correct outlook on life, world view and values of these savages.
More importantly, learn to take care of other people's emotions.
Because he is the biggest victim.
And he's had enough.
There are many reasons why this big house needs to be built so big, but the most hidden reason is that he doesn't want to live with this group of shameless men and women who live in groups and drive piles every night.
He must have a separate, secluded, and quiet room of his own.
Now, he was finally satisfied.
After choosing a room in a lively manner, the Ba people really entered into the extreme carnival and excitement.
The women were busy tidying up the new rooms, laying hay and animal hides, and decorating the huge new home.
A group of men were divided into two groups, one group went up the mountain to guard the cave, and the other group stayed down the mountain to guard the mansion.
From sunset to dusk to the cold starry sky.
The big house was noisy until about ten o'clock in the night, and then it finally calmed down.
The moon is dark, the stars are bright, and the winter nights are cold.
Xu Chen finally got his wish and lay down on the spacious and soft bed in his room.
Mother Ba and several adult women personally decorated this house.
The bed was first laid with a thick layer of hay, then a piece of cowhide, and on top of that was an animal skin mattress made of soft and thick animal skins cut and sewn together. The covering on the body turned out to be an animal skin mattress obtained from the Uzbek people in exchange.
A huge tiger skin.
This bed is the ultimate in luxury.
But everyone in the Ba clan believed that he deserved the treatment he deserved.
The evenly distributed communism created rifts in him, and everyone began to respect and worship him as the spokesman of the gods.
The voices of men, women and children talking outside came, vague and erratic.
"Sigh!"
He closed his eyes with satisfaction.
After traveling through time for half a year, I finally lived in my own separate room and slept on a spacious bed. I no longer had to endure the sounds of farting, snoring, teeth grinding, crying, and the sounds of men and women pile-driving. I could have a good night's sleep.
…
Early the next morning, the men and women who slept in the new house for the first time were still too excited to stop and got up early in the morning and started making noise.
Xu Chen curled up in his remote bedroom and had a long sleep. It was not until the sun rose that he was woken up by Ye from the tiger skin quilt.
"Gaha?"
Xu Chen was very unhappy and a little angry when he got up.
"Wu... go ga!" Ye pointed to the door.
Xu Chen realized that a group of foreign workers, including the Uzbek people, might be leaving, so he had no choice but to get up.
It took someone else two or three months to make cows and horses. Although food, shelter and pottery were provided as compensation, to be honest, this kind of high-intensity labor and compensation were completely disproportionate.
Last night's demolition of the bridge across the river caused a lot of hurt to the employee's feelings, but as the contractor and the host, we cannot turn a blind eye to the situation and should still go and say goodbye.
After all, it’s not easy to cultivate fans.
These people have stayed in the Ba tribe for so long and have learned so much unique and new knowledge. They will definitely spread this new knowledge when they return, which will also be a good opportunity for them to expand their reputation.
Maybe these people will become his fans in the future, which will be of great help to win over these tribes in the future.
After washing his face and mouth, eating a simple breakfast, when Xu Chen arrived at the kiln, a group of foreign men were tying up various pottery that the Ba people had paid to them in accordance with the labor agreement.
Everyone was in a low mood. After seeing Xu Chen, they gathered around him excitedly to express their sadness.
Xu Chen could only offer a few simple words of comfort and ask everyone if there was any error in the quantity of pottery.
But obviously his concern is not on the same channel as these foreigners.
At the beginning, when they came to exchange with animal skins and supplies, all the foreigners were worried about exchanging one animal skin after another, for fear that their own tribe would suffer a loss.
But today no one cares about the quantity of pottery.
From their point of view, it is no longer important how many pottery they get. What is important is that they can no longer stay in the Ba tribe. This journey is full of mountains and rivers, and they will never be able to live such a happy and fulfilling life after leaving.
Half an hour later, a large group of foreigners sadly left together with their backpacks and rattan baskets on their backs.
Along the way, I kept looking back at the magnificent and huge courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Men, women, and children of the Ba ethnic group stood on the river beach and waved their hands away. It was not until the group of people had left that they could no longer see them, and then they returned with the same sad faces.
The lively scene is gone forever, but what is left to the Ba people is a luxurious residence that is enough to protect everyone.
Facing this huge and spacious new home, all the Ba people were briefly sad, but then turned into uncontrollable joy and pride. A group of women continued to be busy in and outside the yard without the arrangements of their mother.
The newly built yard is too big, the doors and windows are still exposed, and straw curtains need to be made to protect it from wind and rain. Although the inside and outside have been simply cleaned, there are still a lot of bricks, stones, soil, weeds and grass clippings piled up and scattered in a messy manner, and many of them need to be cleaned up again.
The ground must be carefully smoothed.
In addition, I plan to live under the mountain and move all the things in the cave.
Moving to a new home brings not only happiness but also more business.
Everyone can't wait to move down the mountain, so they are all working hard.
The men carried baskets on their backs and rattan baskets up the mountain, constantly moving pots and pans, grain, animal skins, coarse linen and other living and production materials from the cave down the mountain.
The woman rearranged these things and put them in separate rooms.
Mother Ba and several older women led the management teams respectively.
A group of children were running around and playing in front of and behind the house to get familiar with the environment of their new home.
