Chapter 415: The 3 Little Ones Are Missing
Housing is a big problem right now.
Han Minghui: "I have reported the situation here to the higher-ups. I thought you would arrive later."
Huo Yisheng didn't respond, but only asked, "How long is the winter here, and how long does it take for the snow to melt?"
Han Minghui: "I asked the locals, and they said the snow in this area won't melt until the end of March, so we can plant seeds right away once the snow melts!"
"But we can't build a house here because the winter here is too long. It basically starts freezing in October, so the soil after the snow melts is very moist and soft. We have to wait until the end of April or mid-May to dry it before we can start laying the foundation and making bricks."
This means that from now on, for at least 4 months, all the new arrivals will have no place to live!
Political Commissar Lin asked, "Where's your fellow villager's house? Can I borrow it for a while?"
Before Han Minghui could answer, Huo Yisheng raised his hand to stop him: "Let everyone get out of the car. Let's do it the old way. Build a snow house!"
Then he asked Han Minghui: "Where was the address where you originally planned to build the house?"
Han Minghui was surprised. Snow house?
But he didn't show it. He pointed to the open space behind the houses and said, "It's here."
Then he reported a range: "The land below here is very poor and can't grow anything, but it can be used to build a house."
He pointed out another person and said, "This is Li Jun, who is in charge of measuring the dimensions. Let him assist you."
Huo Yisheng handed the task of building the snow house to Political Commissar Lin and Ren Chunhe. He called Han Minghui aside and asked in a low voice, "Where is the mining area?"
Han Minghui didn't point out the direction. He took out a folded map from his inside pocket and unfolded it. "It's here. It'll take two days from this way."
Huo Yisheng glanced at the vast expanse of white and asked, "Have you drawn up a topographical map of this area?"
Han Minghui: "No, it had already snowed when we arrived. The snow was so deep and covered so much area that we couldn't see the original topography. But I asked the locals and drew a rough map."
Huo Yisheng: "Show it to me."
Han Minghui was stunned for a moment, then he sighed, it really was worthy of being a magical existence within the system.
He originally thought that since they came here without even a place to live, the first thing they would do would be to solve people's livelihood issues, but he didn't expect that this person would go straight to the point of work.
I immediately had a deeper understanding of him and did not dare to delay. I ran back to the dormitory and took out a notebook.
Huo Yisheng took it and looked through it carefully, then pointed out a precise location on the map: "Is the new mine here?"
Han Minghui was even more surprised and admired him very much. He could tell the difference without any mistakes after just a simple glance!
He said, "Yes, that's over there. It forms a triangle with our area and the old mining area. However, the new mining site is closer to us and can be reached in about half a day."
The time he mentioned is the walking distance.
Huo Yisheng understood what was going on and didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Free up four rooms."
He planned to leave one room for his wife, one for Mr. Huang, and let Political Commissar Lin allocate the other two rooms.
But after hearing this, Ye Shu refused: "Just give us a Huang Lao room. I will live in the ice house with my children."
Huo Yisheng frowned at first, but immediately understood. He went to the dormitory and took a look. Well, the hygiene was indeed poor.
Moreover, they are all large bunk beds, not kangs. Living in such a house is indeed not as warm as living in an igloo.
Huo Yisheng agreed: "Okay, whatever size snow house you want, I'll make it for you!"
He planned to do something himself in the house where he lived alone.
Ye Shu also became interested: "I'll boil some water for you and help you!"
Then he talked about his idea: "Build a low wall on the side where the door comes in, half a person's height will do. It can block the view and the wind and snow, but it won't affect the ventilation."
"Then we'll sleep on the left side, with a table at the head of the bed, and I'll read and study."
"Separate the right side as well to store things."
They brought a lot of belongings with them, and now that the snow house is their temporary home, they have to find a way to put them in order.
When it comes to life, it has to be clean and tidy, pleasing to the eye, and full of vitality and vigor!
As for the bathroom, forget it, don’t be picky, just scrub it!
It’s so cold in this weather, there is no room for elegance!
Huo Yisheng wrote them down one by one: "Okay, wait! I'll give you a whole new home!"
Ye Shu responded with a smile, then moved closer to him and said softly, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on you, Brother Sheng!"
Although it was freezing cold and his snot and tears would freeze immediately, it did not prevent him from feeling the warmth brought by his wife's proximity.
He was inexplicably restless, his tongue brushing across the roots of his teeth, and suddenly he leaned close to her and said, "Your man needs some motivation."
Ye Shu was stunned for a moment, then looked into his dark eyes and suddenly smiled. Then she kissed him on the cheek and said with a sweet smile: "Come on, husband!"
Hearing this name, Huo Yisheng's eyebrows jumped violently, and the passion in his heart immediately became the motivation for work.
It's like an engine running at full power, it keeps making mistakes after every one of them!
Of course, it was impossible for him to do it all by himself, so Xiao Gao and the others also came to help.
Ye Shu refused to live in the dormitory, and Huang Lao also refused: "I live in the snow house with the soldiers, it's warm!"
"Living with young children makes me feel young and energetic! I feel more energetic too!"
Mrs. Jin originally wanted to live in a private house. After all, the concept of living in a house is deeply rooted in people's minds. But when she heard Ye Shu say that the snow house was warmer, she immediately told Lao Ren that she also wanted to live in the snow house.
Political Commissar Lin's family made the same choice, and other family members followed suit.
For a time, the housing resources that were originally in short supply and precious were no longer in demand!
Like Sister Jin and her family, they decided to share a snow house with three or four families, which actually means the mother lives with the children.
Those four houses couldn't be left empty, so it was decided to give them to the men who had been abandoned because their families had to live in the igloos.
One of the rooms was shared by three pregnant women in the family compound. One of the pregnant women was found out to be pregnant when they set out, but she was unwilling to cause her husband to leave the team because of her, so she insisted on walking all the way and was safe all the way.
The other two pregnant women only suspected they might be pregnant while on the road, and later confirmed it after Mr. Huang took their pulses.
So the housing problem was temporarily solved, and everyone threw themselves into building the ice houses in full swing.
Everyone on Han Minghui's side was stunned when they saw the igloo that suddenly appeared in the snow!
Is this kind of house habitable?
Magical!
Ye Shu and the others were going in and out to move things into the snow house. After all, it gets dark too quickly here, and it would be difficult to clean up if it got completely dark any later!
After everything was brought into the house, Ye Shu turned around and was dumbfounded.
Where are the three little ones who were originally playing on the bed?
Why are they all gone?!
