Compared with the difficult situation in Heyuan, the atmosphere at Li Yu's farm base is relatively relaxed.
Since the water in the well is dug relatively deep, the source of drinking water is not a big problem.
For deep underground water, it is very inconvenient to use manual pumping to draw water. Fortunately, there is sufficient electricity in the base and a water pump can be used, making it as convenient as tap water.
In fact, it can be done without electricity, and if the water pressure is sufficient, there will be no problem.
In addition, equipped with a water purifier, if you are not so particular, you can drink it directly.
But there are elderly people at home, so they often boil a lot of boiled water, and sometimes add some plants from the mountains, each of which has the effects of reducing fire, improving eyesight, preventing heatstroke, etc.
In the apocalypse, many people think that the elderly are a burden. Even before the apocalypse, many people regard the elderly as a burden.
In fact, not necessarily. There are many old people who have experienced a lot, and the advice they often give is always full of simple wisdom.
Especially the elderly in rural areas, they have experienced various turbulent times, know how to survive, and know how to make use of everything in the mountains and forests.
An old house where a treasure.
Nothing more than that.
........
At noon, the smoke from the base started to rise early.
Li Yu was outside the base, moving some dead trees back to the base.
The material of some trees is actually very good, and the diameter of some trees is very large.
Li Yu took out some of the felled trees and planned to use them to make arrow feathers. The arrows were made of steel. In the early days, when the wall was being consolidated, he brought some steel back to the building materials market to hoard it.
This is just the time to use it.
Li Yu stretched out. He had been making arrow feathers just now and had been maintaining the same posture. Now he stood up, and the bones all over his body were cracking.
"Let's go and eat." Li Yu looked at the people in front of him with a smile.
Xuanxuan raised her head and smiled.
After entering the base, Xuanxuan also became more optimistic and cheerful. At the beginning, she maintained an attitude of not letting strangers in. Only Li Yu could make her completely believe it.
Later, in some classes, Xuanxuan showed relatively good talent, especially in fighting, as if she was born with a kind of cruelty.
However, she is still a child after all, and with the company of her peers around her, Xuanxuan has returned to what she should be at her age.
However, she occasionally shows her mature and decisive side. Xuanxuan still likes to follow Li Yu and is also making arrow feathers at this time.
After the Chinese New Year, at the age of 9, since she wanted to help, Li Yu was free to let her help.
Li Yu rubbed Xuanxuan's head and picked up his aunt's son Zhang Zhixing who was dozing off.
Just carry it to the restaurant.
Zhang Zhixing was sleeping deeply. When Li Yu lifted him up, he was still drowsy.
Li Yu saw this and said with a smile: "This brat."
Zhang Zhixing inherited his aunt's character. He is not afraid of anything and is extremely courageous. The key is his big heart, so he came to make arrow feathers together.
After arriving, I did nothing but slept there, and I have slept until now.
Li Yu thought that it seemed like some more homework would have to be given to these younger brothers and sisters.
Dining room.
What I’m making today is spicy dried fish. I stocked up on this dried fish a long time ago. This kind of marinated fish has a long shelf life.
Some cured hams can be stored for decades without any problems.
Spicy dried fish, accompanied by shredded ginger, has a fragrant aroma.
This dish is Li Yu’s favorite. When you encounter your favorite dish, you must order some wine.
On the table, I got a few kilograms of Laobaigan and drank some together.
Li Yu simply drank two ounces, became slightly tipsy, and patted his full stomach.
Walking to the room, he recently dug out some documentaries.
When watching these documentaries, I feel very calm.
There is a long-lost, indescribable feeling.
"Shadow Under the Iceberg" is not a documentary. Li Yu watched it last time (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 231:Happy time
Halfway through, I returned to the room and continued watching.
After skillfully turning on the projector, Li Yu lay down on the wicker chair and turned on the air conditioner.
Li Yu took a sip of water as the cool breeze blew.
Then he looked at the screen, and the flashing pictures on the screen were like the magic hand of a hypnotist, making Li Yu's eyelids keep drooping.
The remote control point in his hand fell down, and the wicker chair he was lying on swayed gently.
The afternoon sun slowly crept to the window sill of the room.
I slept until two o'clock in the afternoon and slept for almost an hour.
During this sleep, I slept extremely soundly, without dreaming or waking up in the middle. It was very comfortable.
When he woke up, he felt very happy.
There is a safe place to drink, good food to eat, and time to rest.
Life is so beautiful.
It’s just that sometimes people don’t need much and want too much.
If your desires can never be satisfied and you keep asking for them, you will never feel this relaxing happiness.
I stood up, washed my face, and walked downstairs.
I have set a task today and will continue making arrow feathers in the afternoon.
.......
In the evening, in the square of the base, 11-year-old cousin Xu Xiangchen, 10-year-old workers' daughters Wang Xiaoguo, Xuanxuan, Li Peizhen and other children around ten years old.
Hopscotch in the middle.
At dusk, they jumped up on one foot and moved forward step by step.
Throwing a stone, or just not hitting the boundary, Xuanxuan's eyes flashed with joy: "Xiao Guozi, I will also occupy a house later."
After saying that, he jumped forward step by step.
Jumping to the last grid, Xuanxuan carried it over and touched it once with her hands. She couldn't touch it.
Then she touched it for the second time, but before she could find it, Xuanxuan recalled the stone she had just thrown, and touched it for the last time. Finally, she caught the stone.
Xuanxuan was very happy, her face was straightened out, and she wanted to be calm.
Don’t make any more mistakes, step by step and finally jump out, it’s done!
Then he started to throw it back.
Snapped!
The house in the middle is the most rare, because it can create the biggest problem for the opponent. For our own side, it is a BUG.
Yes! Xuanxuan jumps on the spot!
Li Yu sat on a chair and watched the younger children playing.
I was filled with emotion.
He remembered that there had been such a happy time.
Hopscotch, throwing sandbags, playing tops, marbles, playing cardboard, catching stones, playing checkers, returning to the vitality, climbing trees and rivers, catching fish and shrimps, playing in the mud...
Those happy times kept coming back one after another in his memory. He was glad that he lived in the countryside and had such an experience.
He remembered that on the way home, if he had a stick in his hand, all the little flowers on the road would be chopped up!
He remembered catching pebbles with a group of friends on the curb at sunset.
He remembered that he and the girl next door played hopscotch together, and kept dancing.
