    When the house is almost completed, everyone must start to face another serious problem, and that is food.

    More than thirty people need to eat, but the few pigs in their pig pen and the fruit taro in the cellar cannot keep this group of people through the whole winter.

    Chen Qiao had no choice but to suggest that everyone try seafood, among which seashells are the easiest to obtain.  Early the next morning, Chen Qiao took everyone to pick up the sea.

    This coastline is very long, but the beach is actually only a few hundred meters long. With so many people going down there, after a while, almost everything that needs to be picked up has been picked up.

    The two children liked this kind of work that they could also participate in. Dila carried the basket and searched hard on the shore. He was a bit strong, no matter what he did.

    Maixi was much more lively. Whatever she picked up, she would take it to Chen Qiao and offer it as a treasure. As a result, Chen Qiao didn't pick up anything properly today. She focused all her attention on this guy, for fear that he would fall or something might happen.  of.

    The conditions this year are much better than last year. At least they no longer have to eat barbecue all day long.  They sorted the seafood they picked up into categories, dried those that needed to be dried, and ate those that needed to be eaten today.

    At noon, Chen Qiao cooked a pot of seashell soup in a clay pot. In his own opinion, such fresh soup is undoubtedly delicious, but others are still not used to it because they are too sensitive to the fishy smell of sea.

    Generally speaking, except for a few people, everyone can eat some, so that's fine. After all, they don't all live on these things. They still have a few wild boars. If not, they will all be slaughtered by then. Although he has been  I longed for the sow to give birth to piglets.

    Recently, two more hens hatched a nest. Based on the experience last time, the two hens hatched a total of 15 chicks this time. Adding the 5 chicks from last time, they now have a group of chicks to raise.

    Dilla and Maxi often go to the fields to dig up some earthworms and other things to feed the chicks, and sometimes some seashells and the like. These chicks are not picky about food and will eat everything, so in this winter when no one has enough to eat.  , their life seems particularly moist.

    In winter, they are still busy making some tools and weapons. Now that there are few people in the tribe, it is better to do as little dangerous things as hunting as possible in the future.

    Although these people are not used to eating seafood, everyone likes taro, chestnuts, etc., so it is still feasible to grow some crops.  Maybe in a few years, everyone will get used to the fishy smell of seafood.

    Since you are going to farm, a hoe is definitely indispensable. Now that there are so many people, the iron making speed is much faster. For a while, there are people specially cooperating with Chen Qiao and others to make iron.  A dozen hoes took a total of half a month, which was not fast, but Chen Qiao already felt that it was OK.

    As for weapons, Chen Qiao mainly wanted to get them some bows. In the spring, they mainly had to hunt to survive the lean season, but the wild beasts in the spring were extremely ferocious.

    Chen Qiao used charcoal blocks to draw a bow and arrow pattern on the stone for Baya to see.

    "what is this?"

    "A weapon."

    "?" Baya did not answer and signaled Chen Qiao to continue.  Chen Qiao suddenly stopped explaining to him, so he had to bend a branch, tie the two ends of the branch with a treated rattan, and pick up a small branch to simulate the shape of an arrow.

    "Like this, as long as you choose some suitable materials and make it like this, the branches shot out can kill the prey."

    Baya took the branch from Chen Qiao's hand, gently pulled it, thought for a while and said:

    "This thing is very good and very useful."

    "Well, then let someone try it and see." After Chen Qiao said that, he turned and left.  Behind him, Baya looked at his back with rare confusion in his eyes.

    There is one more thing in winter, that is, the widow Ada is finally getting married, and her partner is Kevin.

    The wedding day was very lively. This year has been so heavy that these people have almost forgotten this happy atmosphere.  In the evening, everyone sang and danced around the fire. There was no wine or food, but it didn't matter at all.

    ? ?We need this wedding to let people see the hope and happiness of life.

    Look, they are married, how happy they are. Maybe in a year or two, they will give birth to a little one.  There will be daughters, there will be sons, and then one day they will be old and full of children and grandchildren. What a wonderful future

    "But Dilla has been a little depressed these past two days, and Chen Qiao can understand it to some extent.  That's because in his memory, Ada is like a mother. This simple child, even?I once fantasized that Ada and his father would one day get married.

    Until Chen Qiao appeared later, he was really conflicted for a while, because Chen Qiao was also very good, and he was qualified enough to stand beside his father.  But what about Ada?

    Although he thought about it in the end, after all, it was his father's business and he had no right to dictate. Moreover, both of them were so good and he liked them both so much. He thought he would be happy to accept whoever his father ended up with.

    It's just that the development of things now is a little beyond his understanding. In his little head, he can't figure out why Chen Qiao and his father, who are obviously a couple recognized by everyone, are not close at all, and they don't belong to the family as he imagined.  It should be as warm as it should be.

    Isn¡¯t that enough?  With a father, a father, and two children, isn¡¯t it enough to form a family?  The nine-year-old child didn't understand why something he took for granted was developing in a direction he didn't understand.

    Chen Qiao is very estranged from her father. Although they get along fairly well, they rarely talk to each other.  Don't they like each other?

    The production of bows and arrows was not very smooth. They spent a lot of effort just on the selection of wood. They also spent a long time groping about the baking and heat control of the bows.

    But there has been no progress with the bowstring. Finally, at Chen Qiao's suggestion, they killed the largest wild boar and stretched the tendons on their backs to solve the problem.

    Their first bow was made very delicately, far exceeding the effect Chen Qiao wanted.  Chen Qiao used it to shoot a branch, which was considered to have completed the "bow opening ceremony", so the next step was mass production.

    Chen Qiao does not need to worry about this aspect. Now he knows that these people are far smarter and more capable than he thought.  Who can say otherwise? Speaking of which, he was the first to look down on others.

    In the next few days, everyone may have to feel aggrieved, because the taro is about to be eaten, and they must save seeds.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
