    In the days that followed, they began to travel across mountains and rivers to move corn home. Because the journey was quite far, they tried to get as much as possible every time.  Therefore, when I returned home every evening, Baya was a little better, but Chen Qiao could only lie down and breathe.

    Fortunately, Dilla is sensible. He has been cooking every day recently. Chen Qiao is really relieved.  Mai Xi was a little dissatisfied, but when he saw his father being so tired every day, he didn't dare to say anything. He obediently finished his portion every time, and sometimes helped his brother clean up the dishes.

    Children who are too well-behaved always make adults feel more and more distressed the more they look at them. Chen Qiao feels that their children deserve the best love, and he has absolutely no regrets about pampering them to the point of being lawless.

    One afternoon, as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw Maisie wandering out, thinking that something big had happened.

    "Dad, Daddy, Mummy Pig has given birth to piglets!"

    "Huh?" Why did it happen?  It didn't seem like she had been pregnant for long. In Chen Qiao's impression, pregnancy was always ten months.

    "It's true, I gave birth to six baby piglets, but two of them died." Because baby chickens often died during the incubation process at home, he was still very concerned about the "death" thing.  familiar.

    When Chen Qiao and the others rushed home, Dila was placing the piglet on the hide.  What's the situation now?  In this way, his two sons successfully delivered four sows

    Chen Qiao was a little shocked because he still didn¡¯t know how a sow gave birth to piglets. How could they give birth to piglets in so many months?  And his sons have successfully played the role of midwives.  The pride of a modern man from the future

    However, the birth of four more little lives in the family is still a matter worth celebrating, even though they are four little wild boars.  That night they discussed how to take care of the piglets. None of them had any experience, so they finally decided to leave the mother pig alone. Whether it is life or death, the piglets just accept their fate.

    Of course, proper supervision is still necessary. Maisie and Dilla must pay attention to what is going on in the pig pen at all times. If there are special circumstances, they are allowed to use force to protect the piglets.  Tools: Two sticks.

    Of course, in order to reward the sow for giving birth to piglets, Chen Qiao has recently added some corn to the pig's food, and sometimes rewards it with some fruit or something.  Taking care of a sow while increasing her milk production is really a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

    It has to be said that people are always changeable animals. Recently, Maisie has been hanging around the piglets and ignored the baby chickens.

    "Maisie, you haven't taken good care of the baby chicks lately."

    "But dad, when they grow up, they have to learn to find food by themselves." See, the reason is always very good.

    By the time the corn harvest came to an end, the few corn plants that were growing particularly well and were selected by Chen Qiao to be planted were almost fully mature.  Looking at this piece of cornfield that had been picked in pieces, Chen Qiao decided not to come here tomorrow, but to leave some for them to grow naturally.

    The last trip was over, and he thought he could relax for a few days. Unexpectedly, when he came back, he found that it was time to collect taro again.

    Other families in the tribe have already begun to dig up taro. This kind of work is not heavy, and women and children can do it, so there is a thriving harvest scene everywhere recently.  But when Chen Qiao thought about their home, he suddenly felt that the whole world was dim.

    Fortunately, the patriarch always enjoys generous benefits. For example, after everyone has finished their work at home, they will consciously come over to work as free labor.  Naturally, Chen Qiao switched from the front line to logistics within a few days of working. If others work for you, your family has to take care of the food, right?

    With the strength of many people, their cellar was filled up within a few days, and the work in the fields was successfully completed.

    Can Cat Winter start from now on?  Chen Qiao thought happily.

    Of course, that is impossible.  Because Patriarch Baya, a young man who does not seem to be very prestigious, is now speaking out.

    Considering safety issues and preventing the recurrence of historical tragedies, he believed that a wall should be built around the village.  No one in the tribe had any objections to the clan leader's decision.

    Because no one wants that nightmare to happen again.

    The wall!  Is that something easy to build?  Moreover, it is a wall built to defend against powerful enemies. This is really a big project.

    But he also knew that Baya's idea was correct, so as a "good wife", he also actively participated in their discussions.  Although Chen Qiao was not born as a professional, he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running away.?, not to mention that their family is still raising a litter of piglets. What is pork?  What is a wall?

    Not only do we need to build walls, we also need to build other things, such as latrines.

    Everyone should know that this latrine is also very interesting. How to build the latrine in the village without affecting the air quality, how to store organic fertilizer as much as possible to reduce loss, etc., etc., are all technical issues.

    As the demand for fertilizers continues to grow in the future, this large public manure pit will definitely not be feasible. For the sake of harmonious interpersonal relationships in the tribe, it is still necessary for each family to build a manure pit!

    What are you doing, why do you look at me like this?  In two or three years, everyone will believe that the issues I am considering now are very critical.

    Then Chen Qiao left a bunch of cesspit theories and a great prophecy, leaving a group of dizzy men and went home to make dinner.  As for whether Baya could eat this dinner, it was not his concern.

    Although they are still a little confused about Chen Qiao's cesspit theory, most people think that the wall construction method proposed by Chen Qiao is still feasible.

    They divided their troops into two groups. One group went up the mountain to cut down trees, choosing strong and straight trees, and the other group dug trenches around the village.

    After the trench is dug and the trees are dried, they will drive the wooden piles side by side in the trench, bury one end into the soil, and then fill the trench with stones until the stones are piled flush with the ground.  Basically, these two-person tall wooden stakes exposed above the ground have been firmly fixed and cannot move at all.

    Then they moved stones and built the wall. It didn't need to be very thick. It only needed to be as wide as a forearm, and then painted yellow mud on the outside. They even left some small holes in the middle so that people from the tribe could pass through.  Xiao Kong shoots enemies with bow and arrows.

    Because the creek flows through their village, when they encounter the creek, the foundation of their wall is broken, and several thick logs are used to set it up in the middle. When the stones are piled on top, they are also regularly added horizontally.  wood.

    The most troublesome thing is the door. Due to the lack of craftsmanship, they have not yet made a wooden door with a door shaft.  But since there is already a wall, how can there be no door?

    Considering the future development needs of the tribe, they cannot make a door that is too small. Chen Qiao is really afraid of trouble, but escaping has never been his style.  Is it just a door? What door has he never seen in his whole life?

    So he designed a door for the tribe that was simple to operate and very practical.

    Take some wood to make a giant wooden board, symmetrically thread two holes through one end, and put on a special thick hemp rope.  Pull the door panel up every night, and put it down again in the morning (please refer to the castle gates with moats in Europe for actual examples).

    ??Okay, he admitted that this kind of door is indeed a bit troublesome, but it is safe, and people feel safer living inside.

    As for this gate, they had to use it for more than a year, closing and opening it every day. It wasn't until they finally had some free time after the autumn harvest of the second year that they finally opened a small door next to the gate -  ¡ªThe kind that can be switched on and off normally.
