    Lan Jia finally made the boots this winter. Although they look a bit stupid and look like rain boots, they are very warm to wear and there is a layer of rabbit fur inside the shoes.  Finally, she no longer had to wear tattered cloth shoes. Chen Qiao held the boots with tears in her eyes.

    He ordered a pair for everyone in his family. Everyone in the tribe was still barefoot. Chen Qiao felt that he was not very kind.  But forget it, just regard it as the welfare of the patriarch's family. At this time, he doesn't really want to carry forward Kong Rong Rangli's virtue of humility.  In fact, in this barbaric age, virtues and so on have not yet had time to accumulate and take shape, and everyone is still in the stage of free will.

    When the cold wind came, Chen Qiao prepared Dila¡¯s favorite one-piece suit.  Because Dilla doesn't like to exercise much and usually works at home, the one-piece suit is really convenient. He can wear it to work during the day and move freely. He can sleep when he is tired at night. It's okay if he sometimes forgets to cover himself with a quilt.

    When he was about to go out, Chen Qiao pulled him to put on a rabbit fur hat and put on the boots he had just brought home.  The whole body is wrapped tightly, so even if the cold wind blows at the beach, there is no need to worry about catching a cold.

    People these days don¡¯t often get sick, but once they do, even a small cold can be fatal.

    After a while, Maisie also skipped out. Because this kid was too active, he no longer wore a jumpsuit when going out, but he still had to wear warm boots and a hat. Well, he felt a little too warm.

    There seemed to be a lot of people going to the beach on this day. Not only the men working, but also members of Maixi and his gang of fishing boats, and even a few young wives from the tribe also went. A few women stood aside and enjoyed themselves.  Watching them working, a burst of hearty and crisp laughter would burst out from time to time.  Those girls who have not yet grown up frequently walk up and down the beach, walking over in twos and threes, and then walking over laughing and joking, repeating this process without getting tired of it.

    Dila, who was working hard, didn't notice anything strange at all. It wasn't until she took a break at noon that she felt that there seemed to be a lot of people on the beach today.  When Chen Qiao brought them food, he secretly glanced at the eldest son who didn't know what he was talking about. The corners of his mouth twitched. How strong could this boy be?

    ¡°Are you aware that so many people came to the beach today?¡± Dilla might have thought that he was the only one who noticed something unusual.

    "Yes, there are a lot of people." Maixi wolfed down the food. He had a strong appetite just as he was growing.

    "What do you think so many people are doing here at the beach?" Dilla quickly grabbed two pieces of meat and put them in his bowl. After a while, there might not even be any soup left.

    "Oh, they said you were dressed very special today, so they all came to take a look." Maixi didn't quite understand this. He had worn this dress since he was a child, and he didn't think there was anything special about it?

    "" Dilla was chewing rice while secretly observing everyone's decorations. It seemed that he was a little different

    The afternoon seemed to pass very slowly, and Dilla always felt a sharp edge on her back. Those whispers seemed to suddenly become much harsher. Facing the group of women, big and small, Dilla's ears finally turned red.

    As soon as the day¡¯s work was over, Dila hurried home, walking faster than anyone else.

    At dinner that day, Dilla said seriously to Chen Qiao: "I will never go out wearing this dress again."

    Chen Qiao feels a little regretful. His son has grown up. The cute and nagging child has grown into a shy boy

    Before spring came, everyone finally worked together to build the main part of the ship. At present, it is still an empty shell, and they still need to add many parts to it.  Dilla could just slowly do the carpentry part by himself, but some parts such as gears and anchors required a large amount of iron ore to cast.

    There are very few exposed natural ores. In the past few years, the tribe has cast many production tools, daily necessities, and weapons. The iron ore near the creek has been almost consumed by them.  Now if they want to find enough iron ore, they have to run to the mountains upstream of the creek. Finding iron ore has become a very difficult task.

    Everyone found that the mountain should have relatively rich iron ore resources, so they mined there.

    Chen Qiao felt that it was not an option to keep digging like this casually. A landslide would happen one day.  He asked everyone to use wooden frames to support the mine tunnel. Although he didn't know how effective it would be and the operation would be time-consuming and laborious, safety came first and the effort should not be cut short.

    As the mine tunnels were dug deeper and deeper, it became more and more difficult to move earth and rocks. Finally, we had to consider laying tracks in the mine tunnels, but this would require more iron ore, which basicallyThe iron ore we have now is used in casting rails.  Fortunately, these rails are removable. After these mine tunnels are abandoned, the rails can be disassembled and reused.

    When spring comes, they have to go back to the fields to sow seeds. The work in the mine tunnels has to be temporarily put aside, and everyone will come back to continue working when the farming is slack.

    This year they no longer just plant taro and corn, as well as some wild vegetables picked from the mountains.  They have more choices. Rice and wheat are naturally the most popular, because they are food rations that can fill their stomachs. Everyone also grows some of various vegetables and fruits, so that they can save their own seeds in the future.

    Because Baya had planted it the previous year, he became the agricultural expert in the tribe this year. Everyone must ask him first about all matters, big or small.  For example, how to raise seedlings, when to divide plants, whether to plant in wetlands or drylands, which crops are suitable for which soil, etc.  There are also how to add base fertilizer, when to topdress, etc.

    When the spring sowing was over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone went home to take a shower, eat well, and then have a good sleep. They didn't get up until their bones were soft.  After the men rested for a while, they had to go to work in the mine tunnel again. These two days were particularly precious.

    Baya did not rest. He took advantage of the past two days to open a small piece of sandy land beside the stream. Chen Qiao said that he loved eating watermelons and he wanted to plant a piece of watermelon here.

    They built a bamboo frame in their yard and dug two grape trees from the mountain to plant them. This summer they can pick grapes in their yard and eat them.

    There are also some pumpkins and winter melons planted in the corner of the wall, and the vines of loofah grow very high along the wall. These vegetables are planted next to the pig pen, and they are all nourished by the captive wild boars. Of course, there are also those little ones.  Chicken's credit.  But no one thinks that the crops are grown with fertilizers.

    Spring is a season full of hope. Everyone looks at the greenery everywhere, the melons and fruits are blooming, and the red and white flowers look very enjoyable. They think about how they will fry this and eat that when they mature.  The days passed quite quickly.
