Chapter 27 A new beginning

The general environment is such that it is basically impossible to change it.

Lin Yan could only try his best to make life easier for his own people under the current environment. Survival was not easy.

After the house is built, improving the tools must be put on the agenda.

The beasts here are huge. It would be very difficult for people to defeat the beasts without sharp weapons.

Everyone in the Sun Tribe came together and did their best to contribute to the construction of the new home.

Half a month later, the first courtyard was completed, with red bricks and red tiles, thick walls, and the yellow-brown mud between the brick joints is very conspicuous. There are windows on the wall for ventilation and lighting.

After the warriors of the tribe personally tested the bearing capacity of the wall, everyone felt relieved. It was indeed much safer than the cave.

The interior is spacious, bright, clean and ventilated. This house makes everyone who sees it cry with joy.

They never thought that they could build a house to live in. They would no longer have to endure the dampness and stench of the cave.

A very simple house in Lin Yan's eyes, but a paradise in the eyes of others.

After the first courtyard was built, people became more confident. Within ten days, all ten courtyards were completed.

Before the cold season came, people took the time to burn bricks and tiles and build as many courtyards as they could.

After the first courtyard was built, Lin Yan led a group of ten people to set up a fire pit and build a stove in the house.

She found these from the book. The principles are easy to understand and the operation is not difficult. They are most suitable for the cold season.

With the first courtyard as a model, she didn’t need to follow the rest, anyone who had done it before could do it.

Lin Yan discovered that smart people are good. They can understand things as soon as they are told and do it once, so there is no need to worry too much.

In the past, people were busy hunting for a living and did not put their minds on anything else, which was why people had such a difficult life.

After she comes, she can quickly implement it as long as she provides ideas, which saves a lot of trouble.

After another sixteen days, the temperature began to drop, and everyone knew that the cold season was coming.

Within three days, the bone-chilling cold came and the temperature dropped sharply.

They have built sixty-five courtyards. The last five courtyards built are not yet habitable, and the remaining sixty courtyards are all ready for habitation.

These sixty courtyards were built in a hurry with the joint efforts of everyone. The brick walls are relatively flat, but the roofs are twisted and twisted.

Lin Yan didn't dare to look at it seriously, for fear of having obsessive-compulsive disorder and wanting to demolish the house and rebuild it.

She comforted herself that the conditions were simple and it was good to be able to do this in a short period of time. At least she no longer had to live in a dark underground.

After the house was built, people moved in one after another, and now it is possible to live in the sixty courtyards even if they are squeezed together.

A dozen people can fit on one kang, and no one minds at all.

In a room, there is a large heated kang, which can sleep twenty adults next to each other, and even more can be squeezed together.

Everyone is very satisfied to be able to live in the current house and sleep on the fire bed.

Lao Lin sat on the hot kang and said to the old gangster next to him: "This kang is really nice. It's warm and comfortable. I feel comfortable sleeping. I'm not afraid of the cold anymore."

Lao Hei has inconvenience in his legs and feet. In the cold season, his injured leg will suffer from bone-piercing pain. Now he has realized the beauty of the fire kang and praised: "It's just that, this fire kang is really good. When I lie on it in the cold season, my legs don't feel the same."

It hurts, and my body has improved a lot. This room is also bright, so I don’t have to stay in a hole in the dark all day long, afraid to go out to get some air."

"Yes, when the cold season came in the past, everyone would sit in a hole and sleep soundly. How could they sit together like now and talk and laugh without delaying their work?"

Another person, Lao Shi, also joined the chat group: "What a beautiful day. It's even more wonderful to gather around the fire and eat barbecue together."

…

After a while, the group of people started chatting lively and praised Lin Yan profusely. This idea she came up with was such a great idea.

Most people have decided that when the cold season is over, they will build a yard for their own home. Who wouldn’t want to live comfortably, spaciously and brightly?

After this emergency house building, everyone knows that building a house is not that difficult. It would be nice for each family to build a courtyard and live in rows connected to the city.

Lin Yan lived with a group of children. Huahong and Ye Zi were also in this room. They had to take care of a house full of children.

Nowadays, no matter adults or children, they all cook their own meals. It’s just a simple barbecue and boiling broth. There is no other choice. Anyone can do it.

During the day, the straw mat hanging on the window was rolled up, and everyone in the room learned from Lin Yan. Huahong and Ye Zi also followed suit.

During the cold season, people didn't go out and stayed indoors for three long months. Lin Yan didn't want to waste this good time.

She wrote the words and simple arithmetic she wanted to learn on slates and sent them to other courtyards so that they could learn from them. Popular education should not only start with children, but also with adults.

Both adults and children are very happy about this, since they have nothing to do anyway, so this will give them something to do.

As the cold season passes day by day, the food stored is getting less and less. Everyone knows that if this continues, there will soon be no food left.

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more restless, Lin Yan reassured everyone that the cold season was about to pass.

She calculated that the last cold season lasted for ninety days, and now seventy-five days have passed. If she persists for another fifteen days, she will be fine.

She took the opportunity to introduce the concept of calculating time and taught everyone how to learn years, months and days.

She counted 273 days in the hot season and 90 days in the cold season, so Lin Yan decided that a year would be 360 ​​days, 12 months, and 30 days in a month.

The hot season begins in January, and after thirty days it is February, and so on.

After the popularization of digital education, people in the tribe quickly understood the concept of time and algorithms, and accepted them very quickly.

With the years, months and days, they can more accurately judge the arrival of the hot season and the cold season. It is no longer like before when the hot season passes without knowing how long it has passed, and they can only rely on feeling.

At the same time, Lin Yan also proposed that the cold season they are experiencing is the first year of the Solar Era, and when the cold season passes, it will be January of the second year of the Solar Era.

Let people calculate the age of a newborn according to this epoch method.

As for people who have already been born and are really obsessed with their own age, they can come to her and she will tell them how old they are.

Just when the food was gone and people learned new ways of noting time and remembered their ages, the temperature rose.

The cold season is about to pass.

Everyone was overjoyed.

Although this cold season is not difficult to endure, the shortage of food makes everyone subconsciously eat less, for fear that if they eat a little more, the food will be gone and they will not be able to survive the cold season.

Fortunately, it’s finally the hot season and a new beginning.

On January 1, the second year of the Solar Era, the temperature rose and everyone walked out of the yard to welcome the arrival of the new era.

Lin Yan was in the same mood as everyone else, very happy, but he had been holding back for the past three months.

Being able to step out feels completely different than staying indoors.

Although the clothes have been improved and you can wear linen and leather clothes, the thermal insulation effect is not good and cannot withstand the severe cold. If you go out for a walk, you will be so cold that you never want to come out again.
