Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father

Chapter 395: Raising a Child in the End of the World and Killing Zombies 9

Today, grandma made stewed pork ribs with green beans, and she added the vermicelli when Sirong and the others came into the house.

In the countryside, put the lid on a large iron pot, turn off the fire in the stove, and wait for the vermicelli to be slowly cooked.

Served with steamed rice with corn grits, anyone would want a big bowl of it.

Si's father and Mu's father were still waiting for Muchen in the cave.

By the afternoon, they had pried open the lock of the big iron gate.

I carried some engine oil in my tool kit. I put a little bit of it on the door hinges, and the door became much more flexible. There wasn't much noise when I opened it, either.

The room at the innermost part of the corridor had been cleared out by the two of them, and the shelves in other rooms had also been moved there.

Those shelves are really heavy. Although they are rusty, they are still sturdy.

Does not affect the placement of things.

Several people moved the goods on the truck into the corridor first, and would come back to sort them out during the day tomorrow.

"I'm thinking of buying a lighting lamp. It's too dark in here."

"Your father-in-law and I checked it out. There is lighting in here, but the generator doesn't seem to be working."

"If you can't, you could buy some solar-powered lights. Otherwise, there's no light inside, and it's kind of scary."

What they used today was the rechargeable flashlight from grandma's house.

The flashlight was high-powered and could barely provide enough lighting.

"I'll go buy it tomorrow. Among the things today, there is a camping lamp for outdoor use. If you come over tomorrow, open the box first and take it out to use." Mu Chen said.

He couldn't help much in the cave these days.

There are still many things that need to be purchased, but I don’t dare to have them delivered to my door, so I have to drive my truck to buy them myself.

Fortunately, when loading things today, Sirong saw that the small carts they used to transport goods were very good, so she bought two and put them in the car.

Tomorrow, the two old men won’t be particularly tired when they move things.

After returning home and having dinner, Mu's father placed a notebook on the small kang table and made a list for Muchen, listing the things he thought needed to be added when they went to the cave today.

"Bring back some rebar and angle iron, and some cement. I want the quick-drying kind. Forget it, I'll write down the model number for you."

Muchen agreed verbally, and when he was unloading the cargo just now, he went inside to check out the diesel generator.

The model is too old and there is really no need to repair it.

It would be more cost-effective to leave it there and dismantle some spare parts. Anyway, there is enough space now, so just leave it there for now.

Muchen is searching for a suitable generator on his mobile phone.

He found a few that he thought were good and showed them to Mu's father and Si's father.

"Dad, if we install the new generator, will the circuit inside work? I wasn't paying attention just now, but the wires should be old, right?"

"Don't worry about that. Your Lao Si and I have already checked today. The wires in the cat's eye holes are all on clear paths.

When you buy the generator, think about buying the wires as well, so we can just replace them later."

"Oh, that's good."

The three of them discussed it here. Sirong's grandmother was busy all day with her daughter and her mother-in-law.

First, I went to the village grocery store and ordered a few large jars for pickling sauerkraut and jars for pickled vegetables.

There are already a few at home, so isn’t this a way to stock up on food?

It just so happens that the vegetable garden has a bumper harvest, and since we can't help with anything else, let's pickle the vegetables first.

We'll see when the time comes whether to pickle the vegetables and dry them, or keep them in the jar.

I also went to a seed company and bought a few bags of all the seeds I could see.

Grandma hasn't worked in the fields since she married grandpa.

The few acres of land at home were contracted out to others for farming every year, so she was responsible for taking care of the vegetable garden at home.

Over the years, many old vegetable seeds have been left in families.

But there are definitely not as many varieties as those in seed companies.

In fact, don’t look at the old lady, she seems very calm, she is actually panicking inside.

It would be strange if she wasn't scared when she saw the scenes of zombies biting people that Sirong showed her.

The old lady told herself that she was the oldest in the family now and she had to remain stable. If she became confused, she would be left without a backbone.

The way to avoid being afraid is to keep finding things to do, so the three of them who stay at home are very efficient throughout the day.

Two months may not be a long time, but it is enough time for Sirong and the others to prepare.

The places where the cat's eye hole needed to be modified have been almost all modified.

In addition to electric lighting, Muchen and his two fathers also connected a small river in the mountains to the cave using a water pipe.

This also solves the water problem.

After consulting with the elders, Sirong also sold the house that belonged to Si's parents and the one-bedroom apartment of the old couple.

They all sold it through real estate agents.

All the money he got was exchanged for supplies and stored in the cave.

In principle, this cat's eye hole does not belong to the village, nor does it belong to Sirong's family.

So, after Sirong and her friends renovated the three innermost rooms, they installed a large iron door there.

This is to prevent you from having a falling out one day.

Although the relationships among the villagers are good, in the last days, the most untested thing is the human heart.

As for the rooms outside, the people in Sirong's family also found time to clean up whatever they could.

Zhao Ming's electric lights and other appliances were all connected using new wires.

If it really comes to this and the entire village needs to evacuate here, the minimum living conditions will still be met.

That day, Sirong and her grandmother visited the old village chief.

Li Chengcai and the old village chief also gathered the heads of each household and held a meeting.

The situation has been explained clearly to everyone. As for whether everyone believes it or not, it is not their business.

After all, strictly speaking, what Sirong said could only be considered a rumor.

There is no definite evidence to support this.

There was no official document from the state to provide instructions, and village cadres did not dare to force everyone to do anything.

The only benefit is what they said, such as stocking up on food, medicine, and so on.

For us people from Northeast China, it is not very averse.

Especially in the village, no matter how convenient the transportation is, it cannot compare to the city where you can buy things just by going downstairs.

They have become accustomed to buying extra of the common items at home.

This saves you from having to drive out to buy it or wait for it to be delivered when you need it.

We are not stupid. Just in case, we should make preparations if possible.

Some smart ones would call their children working away from home and ask them to come back home first.

Several families used the bricks or iron sheets they had stored at home to reinforce the exterior walls.

I had originally saved this money to build a new house for my children, but now I don’t have to worry about it anymore. I’ll just raise the wall first to give myself peace of mind.
