Chapter 214 214. Going up the mountain

The two sisters Hua Fen lived in a cave not far from their brother. The journey was no more than half a cup of tea. They looked at the cave that had been cleaned and the corners were covered with lime. Even the wooden shelves for placing things were ready. , the two sisters were moved beyond words.

It turns out that my little brother had already planned for them. No wonder my parents told them to come over.

If it hadn't been for the dark weather and difficult walking on the mountain road, the two sisters Hua Fen would have had to run to their younger brother and cry.

But the more important thing right now is to cover the entrance of the cave first, and then wait until dawn to install the wooden door prepared in the cave according to his brother's wishes, so that safety can be guaranteed.

Then the two families were busy in their own caves. The things they brought, especially the grains, were all placed on the wooden shelves. There were too many things, so in order not to be noticed, they simply used oilcloth to surround the grains in a separate space. Can block the eyes of others.

Therefore, he was inspired to divide the cave into several areas, especially for Aunt Hua's sons. Except for the youngest, all of them are married and have children. This is more convenient and will not be awkward when resting at night.

Of course, these are all things for later. The two families are currently busy like hard-working bees under the dim light in the cave.

Old Man Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief now that everyone was settled.

He stayed at the foot of the mountain for the whole day, watching the people in the village going up and down, and he kept telling people to be careful, worried.

It wasn't until the last family had packed up all their belongings that they went up the mountain accompanied by their son, granddaughter, and son-in-law.

Then I felt uneasy and went to the big cave to help the villagers make arrangements. There were diversions from several smaller caves in the surrounding area. The cave where most of the villagers from Huajia Village gathered was not as crowded as expected. It was enough for one family to carve out an area. The tent or wooden house also has enough privacy, and the old man is finally relieved to see it.

He told everyone to wake up when going to bed at night and not to forget to cover the entrance of the cave. Then he returned to his own cave for the first time. His son and granddaughter stayed with him the whole time.

When I returned to the cave, I saw that the old woman and daughter-in-law were cleaning up. The grandchildren were not idle either, setting up the tent that their son had put in the cave in advance.

No more, no less, exactly four, one for his grandchildren and one for him, his son and his granddaughter.

After a day of rain outside, even though the old man was still in good health, he couldn't hold on any longer. At the urging of his wife, he quickly changed his wet clothes, washed them with hot water, and then lay down on the makeshift bed to rest. .

Hua Jin also quickly poured a bowl of the cooked thick ginger soup and handed it to her grandfather. Although she had drank a lot of this stuff throughout the day, it was always good to drink more.

"Master, please rest first. I'll call you when I'm eating." Looking at the tiredness on Grandpa's face, Hua Jin couldn't help but feel distressed. She hurriedly rummaged through the pile of household items and took out a thin quilt that was half spread and half covered. On grandpa’s body.

Old Man Hua was really tired. After drinking the ginger soup, he nodded to his granddaughter and closed his eyes.

Watching her grandpa fall asleep after just a few breaths, Hua Jin carefully covered her with the quilt more tightly and hurriedly went to help grandma pack her things.

There were too many things, and the cave was very messy. As a member of the family, how could she just sit back and enjoy the benefits? Moreover, she had to take out some commonly used things at home from the space while her brothers were not paying attention.

She was the last one to leave home. When she left, she put all the things she was used to in the house into the space, including bed boxes and cabinets in each room, and even the wooden shed in the yard. If possible, , she wanted to put her home into space, but unfortunately she could only think about it.

Anyway, it was a mess when moving, and the brothers didn't know what was there. Hua Jin took it without any guilt at all, and stuck out her tongue at the grandma who winked at her.

Seeing that everyone in the family had returned, Mrs. Qi stopped cleaning up. She was still hungry after only one meal in the morning, so she quickly ordered the child's father to build a simple stove and cook the rice first.This matter was not difficult for Hua Chengtian, and he had already prepared for it. He directly moved two finished stoves from a corner, helped to light the fire, and prepared the evening meal with his mother.

After finishing the repairs, the Yun'ao brothers also completed setting up the four tents in the cave.

It's not big, it can fit a bed made of wooden boards, and all that's left is a wooden shelf to hold things, but it's enough for rest.

The three brothers were feeling hungry. When they heard that they had eaten, they couldn't help but ran over to help. They pulled the most prominent table in the cave to where the master was.

Although the two familiar Fang Table brothers were stunned for a moment, they didn't think much about it, thinking that it was the other party or their father who had moved it up.

Hua Jin was also very hungry. When she knew it was time to eat, she quickly stopped cleaning up and ran to Old Man Hua's temporary bed to call for help.

This is the simplest evening meal their family has had in recent days, but it is also delicious.

The thick rice porridge was paired with fried vegetables, a steamed sausage, and pickled side dishes, and the family devoured it.

After eating, he didn't say much and started to work again, thinking about arranging the things that were moved into the cave before taking a rest.

For this reason, in order to make the light brighter, not only two oil lamps were lit, but also a torch was burned.

There is strength in numbers, and with the joint efforts of the family, it took less than an hour to clean everything up. Not only that, Hua Chengtian also took his two sons to install the door prepared in advance in the dark.

A corner of the empty space around the rock extending out of the cave was also lined with stones. Of course, the stones were collected in advance. In order not to arouse suspicion, they were mixed with some defective stones that were deliberately collected.

I became addicted to work and didn't even know what time it was. In the end, I took a break only after Mrs. Hua repeatedly urged me to do it.

Before resting, Hua Chengtian was still worried and blocked the barbed vine branches placed outside the cave under the rocks. Then he closed the door of the cave with confidence, returned to the tent belonging to him and his mother and fell asleep.

The people in Huajia Village on the other side of the Dashan Cave were not idle either. Each family ate the pancakes they had prepared in advance as a simple evening meal to fill their stomachs, and then they were busy lighting up the torches in the cave.

It is understandable that so many people are noisy in a large space, but fortunately we are a village and the tolerance is pretty good, especially in this special period, everyone is patient.

Thanks to the foresight of the village chief, everyone has no shortage of tarpaulins at home. The space in the cave is indeed large enough. Each family can have a certain amount of space. Some people are more concerned about private rooms and don’t want everything to be exposed in front of everyone, so they simply use them. Build a simple tent with tarp.

Then there were two, and other people saw that it was really good, and they all started to set up tents.

It's okay during the day, but many people are still not used to exposing themselves to the eyes of others at night. This way, at least they can feel more at ease and stable when they rest at night.

After a while, simple oilcloth tents stood in the cave. Some people even divided them into several rooms for convenience. Although each room was not big, it could be regarded as its own space.

In short, although it took them a day to move things into the cave, it was indeed very embarrassing, but after cleaning up, it was not as bad as they imagined. At least they had a safe place to live, and they were not exposed to the rain, and each family had its own The space was not as crowded as they imagined, and it was completely beyond their expectations. To be honest, the big guys were very satisfied.
