In the middle of the night, the wind roared outside the house, and there was a "click" sound, and the trees at the foot of the mountain seemed to be broken by the wind.
"Pap pat pat", the raindrops fell and hit the roof, and the house seemed to be shaking.
Jiang Yue was awakened by the sound of wind and rain, got up and tightened the oilcloth on the window. Fortunately, Jiang Nian had blocked the door with stones, otherwise the rain would have poured in at this time.
It was pitch dark outside and it was hard to see anything. That was why the sound of the heavy rain seemed so terrifying, like it hit people's hearts.
She was a little confused. Was this just a warning of a natural disaster, or had it already begun?
Jiang Nian came closer, felt her uneasiness, and held her tightly.
Jiang Yue stroked his wolf tail and said nothing, quietly thinking about what to do next.
The sound of rain hypnotized her, and she fell asleep without even realizing it.
When Jiang Nian licked her awake, the sound of rain outside the window was still strong, like a downpour.
She circled the corners of the two rooms and saw no signs of cracking.
After a good nap, she had energy again. The hands pinched the soft ears and said, "Big boy, you are responsible for making noodles today, you know? If you don't work, you won't get food!"
Jiang Nian shook his ears and felt itchy.
They used to cook on a small stove outside the door. When the fence was being built, she wanted to use the remaining materials to build a new stove in the next house.
It's a pity that those rabbits and pheasants are really smelly and will affect the appetite.
She had no choice but to set it up here in the main house.
A bed board, a set of small tables and chairs, plus two stoves, this is great. The already small space becomes even more cramped.
She comforted herself that if she lived in the kitchen now, she could build two kitchens in the future...
The vegetables in her space are still tender, and it’s not actually time to pick them yet, but now they have no choice but to pick them if they don’t have fillings. The tender ones are better for filling.
When she took out a plate of pork, Jiang Nian kept staring. She had reason to suspect that he was swallowing.
Rubbing his head hard, "No! I will stew pig's trotters and stewed ribs for you tonight, but you can't eat them raw!"
Jiang Nian lowered his eyes and tightened his jaw, as if he was angry.
Jiang Yue pretended that he couldn't see it, took out the flour and asked him to knead it. He was so strong that Jiang Yue was even worried that the rickety little table would collapse, so she had to make him kneel on the ground.
He knelt on the ground and chopped vegetables.
A bit shabby...
Not only did she not let Jiang Nian eat pork, she also had the heart to let him chop the pork with his own hands. The way he stared at the meat with lowered eyebrows but did not dare to put it in his mouth was really pitiful...
But if it doesn't work, it won't work. She will be a cruel parent.
Jiang Yue took out all the pots and pans that could be used, and mixed pork and cabbage stuffing, pork and green onion stuffing, pure pork and pure green vegetable stuffing, and white flour steamed buns.
Fortunately, I had stocked up on enough firewood, and with two stoves running in parallel, I could steam 60 buns at a time.
In order to comfort Dazai's injured heart, she placed twenty pure meat buns in front of him.
He used both hands, one in each hand, to bite hard as if chewing meat.
Bite, bite, until you get used to eating cooked food.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yue fulfilled her promise and set aside a stove for Da Zai to stew a big pig's trotter. She didn't chop it, so she let him eat the whole thing.
He was finally happy. After chewing the pig's trotters, he wanted to rub his greasy face on hers, but she stopped him in time.
He handed the pig's trotters to his eyes. Jiang Yue lowered her head and took a bite. It was stewed until it was crispy and delicious.
The two of them just chewed up a big pig's trotter one bite at a time. Jiang Nian's teeth have strong bite force and can break bones directly.
Jiang Yue: You come here, you come here, I can’t come.
It was raining violently outside, and the two of them felt quite comfortable sitting in a small room without having to "go to work" or go to the ground. When I wake up, I steam steamed buns, and when I'm tired, I lie down and go to sleep.
In three days, more than 1,000 steamed buns and more than 500 steamed buns were steamed, all of which were packed in brand-new tubs or bamboo baskets.
The entire foot of the mountain is filled with a rich fragrance.
Fortunately, the heavy rain covered the smell and it could not travel far.
The village chief's family looked at the rain curtain with sad expressions on their faces.
"It looks like we are about to start harvesting grain in half a month. Why is it raining so heavily? This will affect the harvest!"
Don't say anything that affects the harvest. It's good to have a harvest now.
The village chief sighed, "We all depend on God for food. If God doesn't give us a way to survive, what can we do?"
We all wore raincoats and went to the fields to drain water in the rain, but the rain was too heavy and the water rose quickly, making it impossible to drain the fields. The rice fell, and the villagers cried loudly.
The village chief wiped the rain from his face and remembered that there was a heavy rain when he was eight years old. That year, the village had no income, could not pay taxes, and people in every family starved to death. He still remembers the tragedy.
This is a natural disaster! No one can stop the disasters God brings.
I just hope the rain will stop soon.
Maybe God heard everyone's prayers, and after three days of rain, it became sunny. Everyone went to the fields one after another to save food, whatever they could.
After the rain and the sky cleared, Jiang Yue stopped tossing the steamed buns and took Jiang Nian's hand for a walk at the foot of the mountain to breathe fresh air.
The house was soaked in steam every day, and they almost became the first people in history to be fainted by steamed buns.
As she walked, Jiang Yue found that walking became increasingly difficult, she lowered her head and remained silent. I forgot that this is not a concrete floor, but a pure mud floor! There was at least 5 cm thick mud insoles under my feet.
There was a river outside their courtyard wall. Jiang Yue walked to the side, squatted down to scrape the mud, and washed her hands.
"Big cub, you should also scrape the mud on your feet."
She held her hand, but Jiang Nian didn't move. She raised her head and followed his line of sight. There were many fish in the river!
