Chapter 701
If the Zhou family can exchange for a fan, they will be safe.
The weather was very cold and visibility was poor. They only had two light bulbs pulled from electrical wires for lighting. It took them more than half a month to build a stone house of about 20 square meters.
In order to keep warm, the house was deliberately built small and low.
Qi Mingyu and Mu Mu are both tall, and after entering the room they can touch the ceiling with just one hand.
There are only two rooms. Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu live in the smaller one, while Zhou Jianghai, Zhong Tiyun and Mu Mu live in the larger one.
The kitchen and utility room were arranged in the original iron-sheet wooden house.
Everyone was busy day and night, and everyone had frostbite on their faces and hands.
Zhou Shuwan was also very grateful to Zhipeng, Xue Tao, Xue Dong and others for their efforts and sent a lot of food and ointments.
Xue Tao waved his hand and said that he still had to thank the Zhou family for the food.
The Zhou family is not stingy. They prepare rich meals three times a day, and there is always canned meat and fish.
I also went to the warship to exchange two roosters and stewed them twice.
Everyone ate the soup and juice for two days and was so satisfied.
Over the past month, they have all gained weight and become more energetic.
Especially Chunchun, her face looks plump.
Xue Tao sighed and said that it was not the Zhou family's food that was nourishing. Apart from rice, the food they ate was what everyone else ate. In fact, it was because their family was reluctant to eat it and the food was not good enough.
Their family’s supplies have always been together with Zhipeng’s family’s.
After he returned, he decided to learn from his aunt's family and eat fish and meat every day.
They didn't have any canned meat, but they had plenty of smoked fish.
After discussing with Zhipeng, he took out some smoked fish and exchanged it with the Zhou family and the warship for some canned meat.
After the stone house was built, the Zhou family burned coal and wood, used a fire wall to remove the moisture inside the newly built house, and then moved in.
Although the stone house is small, it is decorated very warmly.
Two wooden beds, which were specially made after arriving on the island.
Then put on a thick mattress and a thick quilt.
It is much more comfortable to sleep in than in a wooden house.
Because Zhou Jianghai, Zhong Tiyun and Mu Mu were squeezed into one room, with a simple curtain as a partition in the middle, the space was very narrow.
The Zhou family ate at Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu's convenience store.
Put a folding table, open it when in use and fold it up when not in use.
Zhipeng and Xue Tao discussed it and decided that for long-term considerations, they also wanted to build a stone house.
Although they did not have much supplies, the two families had a few extra winter down jackets, and they thought of taking them to the warship to borrow a stone saw for a few days.
However, before they could take action, the second tsunami suddenly hit.
This time, the Zhou family saw that the situation was not right and hid in the cellar in advance.
Although the cellar is only three meters deep, after reinforcement, the structure is more stable and can withstand the impact of tsunamis.
Outside the cellar, the sea water was slamming against the wooden house wildly, making a deafening roar.
The roar of the tsunami gradually subsided, and the cellar returned to calm. There was no other sound except for the rapid breathing of each other.
After a long while, after making sure that the noise outside had completely died down, Zhou Jianghai was the first to stand up and said in a slightly trembling voice, "I'll go take a look."
Qi Mingyu said, "Dad, let me do it."
He carefully lifted the wooden board of the cellar and stuck his head out.
In the dim light, he saw the muddy ground washed by the sea, the wreckage of collapsed wooden houses, and the desperate cries in the distance.
Everyone followed and climbed out.
The wooden house was safe and sound, with only slightly deformed window frames. The stone house remained motionless despite the impact of the tsunami, giving a sense of security.
In the distance, the tragic scene silently tells the power of the tsunami.
Some wooden houses were completely destroyed and the wreckage was even washed far away.
The air was filled with the smell of damp earth and a faint scent of blood.
