The general environment is such that it is basically impossible to change it.
Lin Yan could only try his best to make life easier for his own people under the current environment. Survival was not easy.
After the house is built, improving the tools must be put on the agenda.
The beasts here are huge. It would be very difficult for people to defeat the beasts without sharp weapons.
Everyone in the Sun Tribe came together and did their best to contribute to the construction of the new home.
Half a month later, the first courtyard was completed, with red bricks and red tiles, thick walls, and the yellow-brown mud between the bricks was very conspicuous. There are windows on the wall for ventilation and lighting.
After the warriors of the tribe personally tested the bearing capacity of the wall, everyone felt relieved. It is indeed much safer than the cave.
The interior is spacious, bright, clean and ventilated. This house makes everyone who sees it cry with joy.
They never thought they could build a house to live in. I no longer have to endure the humidity and stink of the cave.
A very simple house in Lin Yan's eyes, but a paradise in the eyes of others.
After the first courtyard was built, people became more confident. Within ten days, all ten courtyards were completed.
Before the cold season came, people took the time to burn bricks and tiles and build as many courtyards as they could.
After the first courtyard was built, Lin Yan led a group of ten people to set up a fire pit and build a stove in the house.
She found these from the book. The principles are easy to understand and the operation is not difficult. They are most suitable for the cold season.
With the first courtyard as a model, she didn’t need to follow the rest, anyone who had done it before could do it.
Lin Yan discovered that smart people are good. They can understand things as soon as they are told and do it once, so they don't have to worry about it at all.
In the past, people were busy hunting to make a living and did not put their minds on anything else, which was why people had such a difficult life.
After she comes, she can quickly implement it as long as she provides ideas, which saves a lot of trouble.
After another sixteen days, the temperature began to drop, and everyone knew that the cold season was coming.
Within three days, the bone-chilling cold came and the temperature dropped sharply.
They have built sixty-five courtyards. The last five courtyards built are not yet habitable, and the remaining sixty courtyards are all ready for habitation.
These sixty courtyards were built in a hurry with the joint efforts of everyone. The brick walls were relatively flat, but the roofs were built crookedly.
Lin Yan didn't dare to look at it seriously, for fear of having obsessive-compulsive disorder and wanting to demolish the house and rebuild it.
She comforted herself that the conditions were simple and it was good to be able to do this in a short period of time. At least we no longer have to live in the dark underground.
After the house was built, people moved in one after another, and now it is possible to live in the sixty courtyards even if they are squeezed together.
A dozen people can fit on one kang, and everyone doesn't mind at all.
In a room, there is a large heated kang, which can sleep twenty adults next to each other, and even more can be squeezed together.
Everyone is very satisfied to be able to live in the current house and sleep on the fire bed.
Lao Lin sat on the hot kang and said to Lao Hei next to him: "This kang is really nice. It's warm. It's great to sleep. I'm not afraid of the cold anymore."
Lao Hei has inconvenience in his legs and feet. In the cold season, his injured leg will suffer from bone-piercing pain. Now he has realized the beauty of the fire kang. He praised: "It's just that, this fire kang is really good. Lying on it in the cold season, my legs don't feel the same." It hurts, and my body has improved a lot. This room is also bright, so I don’t have to stay in a hole in the dark all day long, afraid to go out to get some air."
"Yes, when the cold season came in the past, who wouldn't be sleeping in a hole, how could we sit together like now and talk and laugh without delaying work."
Another person, Lao Shi, also joined the chat group: "What a beautiful day. It is even more wonderful to gather around the fire and eat barbecue together."
…
After a while, a group of people were chatting lively and praising Lin Yan. This idea she came up with was such a great idea.
Most people have decided to build a yard for their homes when the cold season is over. Who wouldn’t want to live in a comfortable, spacious and bright place?
After this emergency house building, everyone knows that building a house is not that difficult. It would be nice for each family to build a courtyard and live in rows connected to the city.
Lin Yan lived with a group of children. Huahong and Ye Zi were also in this room. They had to take care of a house full of children.
Nowadays, regardless of adults or children, they all cook their own meals. It’s just simple roasting meat and boiling broth. There is no other choice. Anyone can do it.
During the day, the straw mat hanging on the window was rolled up, and people in the room learned from Lin Yan. Huahong and Ye Zi also followed suit.
During the cold season, people didn't go out and stayed in the house for three long months. Lin Yan didn't want to waste this good time.
She wrote the words and simple arithmetic she wanted to learn on slates and sent them to other courtyards so that they could learn from them. Popular education should not only start with children, but also adults.
Both adults and children are very happy about this. They have nothing to do anyway, so this will give them something to do.
As the cold season passes day by day, the stored food becomes less and less. Everyone knows that if this continues, there will soon be no food left.
Seeing that everyone was getting more and more restless, Lin Yan reassured everyone that the cold season was about to pass.
She calculated that the last cold season lasted for ninety days, and now seventy-five days have passed. If she persists for another fifteen days, she will be fine.
She took the opportunity to introduce the concept of calculating time and taught everyone how to learn years, months and days.
She counted 273 days in the hot season and 90 days in the cold season. Lin Yan decided that a year was 360 days, 12 months, and 30 days in a month.
The hot season begins in January, and after thirty days it is February, and so on.
After the popularization of digital education, people in the tribe quickly understood the concept of time and algorithms, and accepted them very quickly.
With the years, months and days, they can more accurately judge the arrival of the hot season and the cold season. It is no longer like before, the hot season passed without knowing how long it has passed, and they can only rely on feeling.
At the same time, Lin Yan also proposed that the cold season they are experiencing is the first year of the Solar Era, and when the cold season passes, it will be January of the second year of the Solar Era.
Let people calculate the age of a newborn according to this epoch method.
As for people who have already been born and are really obsessed with their own age, they can come to her and she will tell them how old they are.
Just as the food was gone and people had learned new ways of noting time and remembered their ages, the temperature rose.
The cold season is coming to an end.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Although this cold season is not difficult to endure, the shortage of food makes everyone subconsciously eat less, for fear that if they eat a little more, the food will be gone and they will not be able to survive the cold season.
Fortunately, the hot season is finally here, a new beginning.
On January 1, the second year of the Solar Era, the temperature rose and everyone walked out of the yard to welcome the arrival of the new era.
Lin Yan was in the same mood as everyone else. He was very happy. He had been holding back for the past three months.
Being able to step out feels completely different than staying indoors.
Although the clothes have been improved and can be worn in linen and leather clothes, the thermal insulation effect is not good and cannot withstand the severe cold. When you go out for a walk, it's so cold that you never want to come out again.
