Chapter 370: The daughter still loves her father
Feng Damancang and other eighteen men selected ten to follow the gangsters to Sihui.
There were many injured men and many women in Shanshui Village, especially the Zhao family and the Sun family. In addition to the children, adult men and women suffered heavy casualties, so Dani and the five women took turns to come over to help cook and eat.
The remaining eight men have been helping the two families with some physical work in the past few days, and then replacing the people on duty and patrolling.
In the past, there was no need to participate in the village's watch and patrol, but the situation during this period was special, and everyone who was not injured had to take charge.
Now it is no longer the personal safety of any person in the village, but the safety of the entire village. Once something happens, the only choice is death.
Even Zhang Tuzi, who has always been the laziest, saw Fan Qian and Fan Dazhu slacking off and the misery they caused. He was so frightened that he walked back with his legs shaking, eyes blind, and then he took the assigned work seriously as never before!
According to his original words: I lie down to feel comfortable, but can I feel comfortable lying down with my hands and feet broken off? I'm just lazy, not stupid, and I'm not afraid of pain. Of course I know how to choose.
Even Baldy Zhang obeyed orders and was extremely serious about his work, not to mention the others.
The Zhao and Sun family, who are usually honest and low-key, now have good reputation and popularity. The Ding family helps change dressings, and other families help feed rabbits, chickens, ducks and other livestock whenever they have free time. The two moved families were in tears every day.
The Ding family and Hu Wenhua also helped in the village, and only Hu's father and Hu's mother were the guards at home.
Not only do they have to guard their home, but the most important thing is the large number of livestock.
Although all the donkeys were sent out, there were so many chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, rabbits, pigs... two people would have little time to feed so many animals throughout the day.
Mother Hu took the time to prepare dinner and stood at the door from time to time to look over to see if the children were back.
When it was getting late, she finally saw Shui Qing with her six children. She quickly turned around and went into the house to greet the head of the house, who was setting the dishes.
"Mom, my brother and Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding haven't come back yet. Let's eat together when they come back." Shui Qing looked around and didn't see the four of them and said.
"It's okay. There's food left in the pot. They can have it hot when they come back. You guys eat first. There's still work to do after you finish." Mother Hu looked at the green color in Shui Qing's eyes and felt extremely distressed.
Butcher Hu looked at the six tired children and hummed for a long time: "Although vigil at night is necessary, relatives take turns to watch each other. It only needs one person to keep watch, and everyone does not need to stay up all night;
You eat quickly, and after eating, take a nap before going over to replace your father. He also needs to rest for a while, otherwise he may not be able to climb up the mountain tomorrow. "
His son-in-law's scholarly body looks worse than his own!
I didn’t sleep well last night, so I stayed up all night tonight, and tomorrow morning I really have to climb a mountain. How can my body and bones bear the stress? Is it necessary to replace it?
Yan Qiu and others responded obediently.
Shui Qing then said: "I will deliver some food to him later instead of taking a rest."
Fan Dazhu is now in charge of the key to the family warehouse. Even if he drags his tied leg in to get food, he will not hand over the key, so the portions of food cooked at his house are always generous.
In the past, her mother-in-law was responsible for distributing food, but her mother-in-law was gone, her eldest brother was twitching on the bed and he didn't know if he was alive, and Sun Jinhua was screaming in the room, so Fan Dazhu happily took over the task of distributing food, without their family of course. share.
Si Zhu said that he added more water and gave his share to them. Shui Qing looked at the black vegetable paste and black-faced steamed buns made by Si Zhu, and shook his head firmly.
The family came back to eat! By the way, send another copy to Fan Jin!
Butcher Hu also felt sorry for his daughter, but he could help with the work at home and outside the house, and keeping watch at night required relatives, which could not be replaced.
I can only help prepare the son-in-law's meals and bring them over later.
The group of people finished eating in a hurry. Mother Hu tidied the table again, and the children took the time to wash up and go to catch up on their sleep. Shui Qing entered the house first and bought a lot of pork breasts to supplement calories from the mall. I packed it and put it in a cloth bag, bought two more thick cotton quilts, and just came out.
Butcher Hu saw his daughter coming out with a quilt in one hand. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and asked in confusion: "What are you doing with the quilt?"
Then he thought about whether it was a night vigil, and after caution, he reminded: "Qing'er, why don't you bring two thick clothes to wear at night? They look less conspicuous than the quilt."
Shui Qing realized, yes, we have to keep vigil at night!
It's getting cold at night, why don't you put on thick clothes?
"Yes, Dad, you reminded me in time. I'm going to get some thick clothes right now." She and Fan Jin wore down vests and thin velvet jackets under cotton-padded jackets. They were quite warm during the day, but staying up late at night would not necessarily be the case. , of course it is better to add a thick coat.
There are also a few children who are wearing cotton vests and need some clothes tonight.
Take it with you!
Butcher Hu saw his daughter rushing to the house in a hurry but forgetting to bring the quilt in. He shouted again: "Quilt! I forgot to bring the quilt in."
"The quilts were brought to the men watching on the dike at night to keep them warm. Don't forget it!" It was cold and the ground was freezing. The dike was already high and the wind was blowing above. In the past, I wore thicker clothes. When I went back to drink a bowl of ginger soup to sweat, I lay down on it. Three or two days is not a big deal.
Nowadays, there is a shortage of people everywhere, but we can’t stay cold anymore.
Butcher Hu came to his senses and smiled broadly on his rough face. His girl was really kind-hearted!
Hu the butcher was holding a quilt and was about to take the food basket when he saw his daughter taking it back. He smiled even more and couldn't help feeling that his daughter still loved him.
Shuiqing: "Dad, I remembered that I need to send soybeans to Dani and Erni's house to make tofu for tomorrow's tofu rice. You carry the soybeans."
Hu the butcher:......
Carrying hundreds of kilograms of soybeans, Hu the butcher followed his daughter to Dani and Erni's house.
Li Dani saw Shuiqing coming and saw the soybeans sent over, and immediately understood that it was to prepare for tomorrow's tofu rice.
She asked for instructions: "Madam, how much tofu should we make?"
Shuiqing and Fan Jin roughly estimated the number of people who would help tomorrow in the afternoon, and invited the helpers from the Sun family and the Zhao family. There were about 80 or 90 people, and the men could eat it. "80 or 90 men, plus our own family, make more, and we can keep the rest for us to eat slowly."
Dani pondered for a while and asked uncertainly: "One pound of soybeans can make about two to four pounds of tofu. What if all of these are made?"
Shuiqing counted the accounts. There were about 100 pounds of high-quality soybeans. According to one pound of soybeans and three pounds of tofu, there would be about 300 pounds. More than 100 pounds would be used tomorrow. The remaining more than 100 pounds would not be much if Dani's four families and her family shared it.
"Okay, set up a few tables in our yard tomorrow. Erni, tell Zhou Yuqiuyue and the other three to go to the yard early tomorrow morning to help my mother cook."
