My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 25

On the other side, as soon as Ning Xiaoniu entered the house, he saw his sister-in-law climbed to the roof, and his mother, Mrs. Cheng, was directing from below.

"Boss, be careful, or don't do it, wait for Maverick to come back."

"Mother, don't worry, it's okay. Isn't it just a roof? It will take a while for the calf to come back. The wind in our room has been pouring in. It's already cold, so don't blow it out for you. That's really bad."

The one who spoke was Ning Daniu's daughter-in-law, with dark skin and a rough look.Mrs. Cheng is 1 satisfied with her daughter-in-law, she is filial to her mother-in-law, and she is also a good hand at home and abroad.There is nothing to say to the little uncle Ning Xiaoniu.

"Sister-in-law, come down quickly, I'll go up and do it. It's too dangerous, brother is not at home, so you can ask me to do our family affairs."

"Yeah, Maverick is back? It's all right, it's almost over." Mrs. Cheng was holding the ladder below, and the two persuaded her to no avail. They could only help stabilize the ladder so that Ning Daniu's daughter-in-law wouldn't accidentally fall again.

Ning Daniu's daughter-in-law finally finished the roof after ten minutes of hard work.

"Mother, I'm coming down, please help me stabilize the ladder." Ning Xiaoniu continued: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will stabilize it for you."

Ning Daniu's daughter-in-law walked down the ladder slowly, and was patted by Mrs. Cheng just as she landed.

"Why do you think you are so stupid? What should you do if you fall?" Ning Daniu's daughter-in-law chuckled, "Mother, am I okay? By the way, why did Maverick come back so early?"

Mrs. Cheng just remembered this, and Ning Xiaoniu explained what happened today to the two of them.

After hearing this, Mrs. Cheng clapped her hands happily and laughed, "Oh! That's a good thing!"

"Brother Changrong is really capable."

There was one family who came to help build the kang. After returning home and telling the family, the whole family was beaming, wondering how much money they could make, and how many new year goods could they buy for the New Year?Even if you can't make money, you can make money for meals.The food saved at home can allow other people to eat two more bites.

With Ning Changrong's permission, every household in Xiayuan Village began to build heated kangs. It was supposed to be the season to stay at home, and every household was busy with work.

For those who didn't come to help, when they heard that Ning Changrong wanted to take these people to make money, their guts were green with regret.

There were quarrels from far away near Ning Dashan's house.

"I told you to go, if you don't go, it's fine now, you don't have a share in making money!"

"Why don't I go? How much money can I get for building a kang? What do you know as a woman?"

"Yes, I don't understand. I just know that even if someone takes you to grow cabbage together, you won't be able to afford the seeds! I'll see what you do then." Originally, they lost 100 Wen for secretly planting vegetables. , I wanted to buy some to try, but no one sells them loosely, they can only sell them in packs.

They also planted them all at once, and now the family has a total of less than 20 wen.Although Ning Dashan's daughter-in-law is aggressive and unreasonable, she is not a fool. Since the money will not come back, why not quickly establish a good relationship with Ning Changrong's family?What if people don't teach them by then?They wouldn't even know it if they kept their hands hidden when teaching them!

When she heard that Ning Changrong's house was building a kang, she asked Ning Dashan to help.

Where is Ning Dashan willing?I usually push my daughter-in-law out to cover myself and hide at home, but this winter is cold and freezing, and I don't want to waste my energy going out.

Now that Ning Changrong wants to bring those who help to make money together, Ning Dashan is jealous and unwilling to admit defeat:

"You! Won't you go back to your mother's house to borrow some?"

"Ning Dashan! Can't you earn some by yourself? You expect me to go back to my natal family to borrow it every day. We borrowed 100 Wen last time and haven't returned it yet. Don't you know how ugly my natal sister-in-law said?!"

The couple quarreled so loudly that the people who were making mud embryos outside took it as a joke.

"This Ning Dashan is a loser, and he quarreled with his wife again. I guess it's because of jealousy."

"When my daughter-in-law talked about this with Ning Dashan's daughter-in-law, you didn't see his wife's face, like a dead father, that's called regret."

"Hahaha, your wife is really bad."

"When the kang in my house is finished, I'll ask Ning Dashan to come and have a look, and I'll be mad at him."

"Hahaha, remember to call me when the time comes."

While other families were still building a kang and waiting for it to dry, the Ning family's had already dried out.

Ning Qingxi waited anxiously for five days, and the mud finally dried out!At this time, she was laying a kang with Wang Xiujuan.

"Grandma, that's great. I've been staring at it longingly, but it's finally done! We can finally have a comfortable and warm sleep tonight." No longer afraid of being woken up in the middle of the night by freezing!
Wang Xiujuan was also happy.She couldn't bear the cold even more when she got older. The average life expectancy of the ancient people was short. She was really afraid that her body couldn't bear it and let go of them and left them.

"Isn't it. What do you think the rest of the village is doing?"

"How else can I live? Isn't it just to endure it? Once my father comes out of this heated kang, I don't know how much merit he can accumulate."

"The life of these people is worse than when you nursed me when I was young. Hey, Xixi, give me a break in that corner of yours. It's not smooth."

"Is that so? How much do you leave by the bed?" Ning Qingxi obediently pulled the bed sheet out a little more, and said:

"Can this be the same? It was a bit difficult for you at that time, but at least there was a stable environment, unlike now. Every day, I heard from my father that there was an uprising here or another rebellion there."

"Sometimes I worry about what will happen if these people hit us? Don't we have to become refugees and flee famine?"

Wang Xiujuan poohed three times, "Hurry up and pooh with me, what you say is not auspicious at all."

"Grandma, I'm not talking nonsense. This is a very real hidden danger at the moment! You have to be prepared for this. I don't know if the map of this place is the same as ours. Let my father see if you can We can’t come with the whole map, let’s pick a good place first, and then we’ll get more information, and we’ll know when we’re running.”

Wang Xiujuan patted her granddaughter on the back, "Why do you only think about bad things, kid? You can't hope for something good." Wang Xiujuan was born in the 60s in modern times. I often heard the elders in the family talk about the fact that there were more than 100 people in the village at the time, and five or six hundred people fled famine in total, and only a dozen survived in the end.

Ning Qingxi learned about fleeing famine from online novels, but Wang Xiujuan heard it from elders who had experienced it.When I was young, I had nightmares for a month after listening to it.

Ning Qingxi was still optimistic about making some preparations, but Wang Xiujuan only had fear in her heart, so she was very taboo about Ning Qingxi's unscrupulous words.

Ning Qingxi saw that grandma's face was suddenly abnormal, so she kept her mouth shut and didn't mention it again.
