Everyone rushed off to get the people back, and when they got home it occurred to them that the house that was going to house the mother and son hadn't even been prepared.
But since it wasn't prepared, they were still allowed to choose where they wanted to live.
A few people showed them a few houses, none of which were very new, but they had all the amenities and it was perfectly fine for them to live in.
The woman carefully observed everyone's appearance along the way, and saw that they were all sincere in their willingness to borrow a house, after some consideration, she still chose Lu Bachuan's old house.
Firstly, she trusted Lu Baichuan's family the most in this village, and secondly, she didn't understand the people in the village, but Lu Baichuan's house was quite remote, and the only new house next to it was the one they were living in.
The old house has not been inhabited for several years, the two mothers and son will not be able to clean up in one afternoon, so a group of them all ate at Lu Baichuan's house at noon, his mother and his aunt cooked together, and the food was not cooked very well, after all, there was still work to be done, just cooked some, just enough to eat.
In the afternoon, everyone helped to clean up, although the woman brought a lot of things to the house, but not including the furniture, so the old house, the remaining furniture, except for some really worn out and can no longer be used, was cleaned out, the other are still left for their mother and son.
Mother and son in addition to the necessary few kinds of furniture, also don't need too many things, less of anything, everyone has more at home, bring it to make up.
After that, they cleaned inside and out, and then moved the ship's things to the house, even if it was finished.
After all, those personal items, before they were too busy to go, they helped to pack up the things, now there is no hurry, the women can wait until later themselves and then slowly take out the same kind of put away.
But even so, the group of them were busy until evening, and as they left, the woman thanked a few people, "I have no way to repay your great kindness, and it's not too early today, so I'll treat you to a casual dinner when you're free some day, and I hope you won't mind then."
Everyone had helped her busy moving things up and down before, so naturally they could see that there was still a lot of food left in her house, and now that people were politely inviting a meal, naturally they didn't refuse.
And they all felt quite comfortable, after all, no one wanted others to take their good intentions for granted and not know the return.
Because of the busy day, Zhou Yan didn't wait for Ye Yuanrong and Lu Jianguo to cook, just came home and stuck his head into the kitchen, Ye Yuanrong saw the situation and instructed him: "Chen Chen and the others just came over today, they probably can't open fire in the evening, you cook more later, and send some over to them then."
Zhou Yan nodded and said yes.
Since he still had to send some to others, some dishes couldn't be made, Zhou Yan thought about it and simply cooked a noodle. He hadn't seen such things as noodles and vermicelli when he moved before, so I guess they hadn't eaten them for a long time.
The toppings are also just fried fungus slippery eggs, not even shredded meat, because of the fear that children can not eat spicy, also did not put minced pepper.
After cooking, find two large soup bowl to fill two bowls, he and Lu Baichuan together to send over, before going out is, Lu Baichuan also carefully from the door hanging in a small bundle of corduroy pulled a to bring.
When the time came, the woman was cleaning up the kitchen, the little boy was guarding the side, when there was a little light outside, the house was already very dim.
The two men didn't go straight into the house when they saw it, but knocked at the door and called, "Morning?"
After hearing the sound inside, the woman came out with the little boy, and Zhou Yan handed over the bowl she was holding on her hand and said, "Mom said you guys shouldn't have cooked yet, so let us bring this over to you, don't starve in the morning."
Hearing her say that, the women naturally couldn't refuse, and if Zhou Yan and the others hadn't sent food over, they would have had to eat the little dry food left tonight, as they didn't even have any firewood they could burn.
Lu Bachuan handed over the wick grass held in his hand as well and said, "This is dried wick grass, I see that your family still has canola oil, peel some out to light an oil lamp, a night also can't bother with any oil."
The woman was carrying something in both hands, so she signaled the little boy to follow.
Having already delivered everything, Zhou Yan took his leave: "Then sister-in-law you can eat first, we also have to go back for dinner."
After saying that he waved at the little boy again and waited until they walked around the corner of the courtyard before the woman instructed the little boy to close the door to the courtyard and go into the house.
It was only when they were on the ship that they spoke each other's names, and it was then that Zhou Yan and the others learned that the woman's name was Liu Yue, and the little boy's name was Lu Chen, and they lived originally not far apart, so it was only natural for everyone to ask the name of her husband's family, and as a result, upwards, Lu Jianye and the others found that they had all heard of their fathers' names, and although they might not know each other, they knew that there was such a person, and knew that the clan was related to their The village was through genealogy.
So after that Zhou Yan and the rest of them, they started to call women sisters-in-law.
In the past few days, the temperature outside has been so cold that even Ye Yuanrong and Lu Jianguo don't want to go to the courtyard to exercise every morning, only Zhou Yan gets up early in the morning to exercise in the courtyard.
The company has been in the process of developing the new product for the past few years, and has been working on the new product for a number of years now.
Now finally decided to go out to cut firewood day out, everyone discussed, not choose the mountain behind the fence, but choose the big mountain across the river.
Not only because there are fewer villages near the mountains across the river, but also because that side is more convenient for transportation than this side through the fence, if there is no fence on this side, many people in the village have cars at home, which is fine, but now it is blocked by the fence, and it is too dangerous to rely on manpower to pick it back.
In the other side of the river, they now have two large boats, but also each family has a small wooden boat, cut the firewood only need to get to the river on the line, the back of the boat transported to the dock is convenient.
The people who went out to cut firewood this time, in addition to being young and strong, there is a strict requirement that they must be able to climb trees, they chose a few hills, there are some thick pine forest, if they can climb trees, when encountering zombies, they can also quickly climb to the trees to wait for rescue.
But most of those who went were men, not many women were inside, and Lu Jianguo and Ye Yuanrong didn't go either.
Not surprisingly, Liu Yue also went with them, Zhou Yan and the others didn't know if she really knew how to climb trees or not, and just thought that their family didn't have any laborers in the house and had to rely on her, so they thought that they could take care of her a little more when they went to the mountain.
The first day to go to the mountain is naturally the closest to the river bank, most of the people in the village have experience in cutting firewood, and after discussing the matter in seven different languages, they finally chose the best method.
This not only avoids the danger of encountering zombies on the ground at any time, but also saves the whole tree from being cut down, and the saplings won't grow so fast in the following years.
You should know that there are very few short shrubs in the pine forest, so the ones that can be cut down are either the whole tree or the upper branches.
And the branches on top of such large trees also need to be repaired every one or two years, they are just cutting down more this time, and it won't cause much impact.
A tree could at least cut a bundle of firewood out, and a large load was not a problem, although it wasn't as convenient as directly cutting down a few trees, but they would be able to cut down a few more hills and a village would be enough, so it wouldn't be too ecologically destructive.
When the boat docked, Zhou Yan suggested that he and Lu Bachuan go up first to take a look around, and if there was no danger, they would come back to call everyone up, and the villagers were naturally grateful.
The two of them didn't go too far, they inspected the hill they were going to go to, and the few hills that bordered nearby, because this side is a deserted place, usually even if someone comes over, it's their village people who may come over to pick mushrooms, so they only found three zombies after a few hills.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the newest addition to your own personal collection.
After standing steady on the top, she also looked down and wondered, "Are you guys not able to climb trees? If the key won't, I'll cut some down for you, and you can just tie yourselves down there?"
Zhou Yan withdrew his jaw that was shocked off and said, "We can climb, we just didn't expect that sister-in-law is so good."
Liu Yue laughed and said, "Morning his father is away for years, I need to do everything myself, so of course I practiced it all out, not to mention that I've been able to do this since I was a kid."
When Zhou Yan heard this, he and Lu Bachuan alone found a tree next to him and climbed up and started chopping.
It was just that things were not as smooth as they had expected, at first it was fine, and after chopping but about half an hour, Zhou Yan heard rustling footsteps rushing over to them, so he was busy calling the people who were tidying up the branches under the tree to go up the tree, so it was good that everyone did not suspect him, and as soon as he called out, he quickly climbed up the tree without asking many questions.
The company has been in the process of developing the new product for the past two years.
Lu Bachuan's face wasn't very good either, explaining, "We just checked the few nearby hills next to each other, I didn't expect them to be so fast."
Zhou Yan didn't wait for everyone to react, he just slid down the tree and took care of the two zombies in a few strokes, saying coldly, "I guess they heard the sound of chopping wood and followed us, the valley is so empty, it's normal for the sound to travel far."
After that, although everyone was still cutting firewood, they didn't quite dare to come down from the tree to sort it out, and finally Lu Jianye came forward and suggested that he ask Zhou Yan and Lu Bachuan if they could help guard under the tree, so that everyone would probably feel more at ease, and then each of them would take some firewood to make it up to them.
Zhou Yan and Lu Bachuan are naturally indifferent, even if they don't guard underneath, if a zombie comes, it will look for them, and staying under the tree will save them from climbing up and down.
