Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 341 Chapter 341 Farm Daily 13
"Fang Wei, I understand your thoughts, but raising a child is too difficult. It's not the same as raising a pet. Remember Lin Siran? After she took in that child, her originally difficult life became even more difficult, even when she was running for her life We should also take that child into consideration, if it wasn't for An An, Lin Siran and Yu Chao would definitely not have separated from us."

Fang Ming's words touched everyone's heart. Li Cheng kept his head down. After all, he picked up the child. He felt a little ashamed for causing trouble to everyone.

"I know that I can be indifferent to adults and the elderly, but a newborn baby, I really can't sit idly by, she is really too pitiful."

Everyone is not in the same mood, but in the face of reality, many times everyone is forced to make appropriate choices.

"Look for parents first, and then we can't find them." Several people chattered, causing Ye Fu to have a headache.

"Ye Fu, if you can't find parents, are you willing to raise this child?"

Ye Fu pursed her lips. To be honest, she didn't even want to have a child of her own, let alone raise a child of a stranger.

Ye Fu shook his head, "I don't want to."

Everyone shut up and stopped talking. Wu Pei and Xie Ruijing who went out to inquire about the news came back, and they also brought back a bad news and a woman.

"There are still many pregnant women in Tongcheng. The night before yesterday, a woman gave birth to a child, but the pregnant woman died of bleeding. She escaped some time ago. She has no parents or husband. The fellow villagers who escaped with her admitted that She threw the child at the gate of the farm, and we brought her back."

After the woman came in, she kept shrinking her neck and lowering her head. She was relieved when she saw the sleeping baby in Fang Wei's arms.

"I threw the child out of the farm gate, and I was forced to do nothing. The child's mother is Xu Mo, and I knew her halfway. When I met her, she was pregnant. She said she was killed by a group of bandits. Bullying, this child's fate is hard, she escaped for seven or eight months and survived, but her mother was killed when she was just born, I have no relatives and no reason with her, I can't support myself, I can only take her to death At the gate of the farm, life or death depends entirely on her fate."

After the woman finished speaking, she looked at everyone timidly, "Can I go?"

"Take the child away." Fang Ming wanted to carry the child to the woman, but she backed away in fright.

"I have no fate with this child. I can't support her. If you don't like her, then throw her away. I don't want her anyway."

After she finished speaking, she ran away, Fang Ming wanted to chase, but was stopped by Ye Fu.

"It's useless for you to catch up with her, she obviously won't raise this child."

"We can't take advantage of this. Now that it's snowing, life is even more difficult."

Ye Fu called Qi Yuan aside and asked him to do something, Qi Yuan left after listening, Ye Fu pressed his temple, "Let's vote with a show of hands, those who agree to keep the child raise their left hand, those who disagree Raise your right hand."

Everyone hesitated for a moment, and then they all raised their hands. Except for Ye Fu and a few day laborers who didn't make a vote, everyone else made a choice.

"The number of votes agreeing to stay is more than the number of votes not agreeing to stay." Ye Fu was not very surprised by the result, but she did not expect that Jiang Rong would raise his hand in agreement.

"Then stay here for now. I've already asked Qi Yuan to deal with the rest of the matter. People outside will think the child is dead."

Back at the wooden house, Ye Fu looked at Jiang Rong puzzled, "You rarely express your opinion, do you like children?"

Jiang Rong took her hand and didn't speak. After a long silence, he hugged Ye Fu gently, "I don't like children, I was just thinking, what should I do if no one finds you at that time."

Ye Fu felt a little uncomfortable, because she had the same experience, so she abstained from voting just now.

She couldn't make the choice she thought was the most suitable and correct.

The next day, there was a rumor in Tongcheng that someone threw the child at the gate of the farm, but the farm did not take him in, and the child was left to freeze to death, and the body was still lying in the snowdrift.

As soon as this news came out, some people who had thought about it immediately gave up their thoughts.

And this child is basically taken care of by Duan Yun and Fang Wei. Aunt Cui and Fu Jiao are also helping, but no one has named her. In the end, Fang Wei found Wan Tao and asked him to help him think of a name. .

"The child's mother's surname is Xu, so let's call her Xu Xu."

From then on, Xu Xu became a member of the farm.

For this matter, Ye Fu didn't interfere too much, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, unless there was an important matter, or to deliver the animals, she rarely left the wooden house.

The short-term workers were worried about layoffs on the farm, and they had to find something to do even when it was snowing. Every morning and evening, people came to deliver firewood, fetch water, and collect plant ash. Aunt Cui even came to ask Ye Fu if he needed to do laundry.

The harsh weather in Wuliang Mountain made life on the farm even more bleak, and the workers on the farm were in panic every day.

Ye Fu asked Qi Yuan to tell everyone that as long as they work hard and abide by the rules and regulations of the farm, the farm will not lay off workers, so they are relieved.

"You don't even know that as soon as I show up these days, they are very scared. I heard that refugees in Tongcheng freeze to death and starve to death every day, so everyone doesn't want to leave the farm."

"The weather is a bit abnormal. It is estimated that the mountain will be covered by heavy snow soon. At this time, there will be more and more house robberies. Let everyone pay attention, get some wood, sharpen it and insert it inside the fence."

Qi Yuan nodded, "Okay, I will inform everyone later."

"I made some candles in the past few days, and you can distribute them to everyone. You should also pay attention to the heated kang in the breeding area. The fire cannot be stopped." Recently, the temperature has continued to drop. Without the heated kang, some livestock would not be able to survive at all.

"Do you want to cut some branches? I'm afraid that it will be difficult to go out after the heavy snow will block the mountain."

Ye Fu nodded, "Let's stock up some more branches, bring the mammoth and the horse, and chop some more back. Jiang Rong and I will go too."

Qi Yuan tentatively asked, "Then do you want to exchange supplies for the refugees in Tongcheng?"

"I won't change it until the snow seals the mountain, just hang up the sign."

Qi Yuan took the candle and left, telling everyone to sharpen the wood for protection. The next day, Ye Fu and Jiang Rong led a large force to leave the farm to cut branches on the mountain five kilometers away. The branches were already frozen. Two days later, It is difficult to enter the mountain.

"This horrible weather has repeatedly tortured people. Xiaobinghe suffers worse than the high temperature, and has chilblains on his hands and feet."

"The high temperature is not easy. You can die of heat in a few seconds in the sun, and your skin will be burned by the high temperature."

"It stands to reason that the higher-ups should come to inspect the people's situation. Even if they don't provide shelter, they should distribute some food. If this continues, many people will die."

"It's all in this world. Those people don't care about the life and death of refugees. They just hope that the extreme cold will end soon."

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, everyone returned to the farm with a full load. Outside the gate, refugees from Tongcheng came to beg and exchange supplies.
