    "Igloo construction?"

    Fang Luchen sighed: "I didn't expect that I still didn't escape the fate of building a house in the end."

    The kids were very excited when they heard it.

    Fang Siyu, whose front teeth have already grown in, still likes to cheer the most, and raised his hand to ask the director."Uncle director, are you building a house out of ice?"

    "Yes." The director said, "Everyone has to build an igloo, or snow house, within ten days and live in it for one night."

    "Stay for another night?" Huang Kaiwen asked in surprise, "Is it really not going to freeze to death?"

    Zheng Na said: "The Inuit people in the Arctic will build snow houses to live in, and it is feasible in principle."

    Director: "That's right, in a properly built ice house, the temperature inside the house can be maintained at around 0 degrees, which can fully meet the living needs."

    The little girl Huang Xuanyu is looking forward to it: "Then we can live in the ice and snow castle like Elsa!"

    Qin Xiaoyu said, "That's a cartoon, it's fake."

    Huang Xuanyu: "I know it's fake, but we're going to make it real now!"

    Fang Siyu: "That's right! Building an igloo by yourself sounds really cool!"

    Sui nods.

    Qin Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, and geared up, "Just cover it, when will it start?"

    Barrage: "Cool~ build an igloo!"

    "I, a kid from the north, have never done it, so I'm looking forward to it!"

    "Building an igloo by yourself sounds really cool! Baby Siyu even rhymes!"

    Seeing that the children are so eager to try, the parents naturally couldn't say anything to back off.

    "The question is," Wen Minmin said, "does anyone know how to cover it?"

    Lu Yiwei shook her head: "I heard that I have heard of snow houses, but... no one here should have built them?"

    Everyone looked at each other, Fang Luchen looked at Lin He, and was about to ask him if he would, Xu Jianian suddenly said: "There are many people, so we can find a way together."

    Although he and Lin He had done some homework in advance, they didn't want to expose this matter and let everyone know that they had predicted it in advance and cause unnecessary trouble.

    Fang Luchen heard the words and said: "Yes, the three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang, not to mention we have two professors and the decathlon President Lin here."

    Qin Duan smiled and looked at the director: "Does Gedo have any requirements?"

    Director: "No, as long as everyone can live there."

    Zheng Na: "However, to accommodate eight of us and four children, no matter how crowded it is, it must be about ten square meters?"

    Director: "This is a problem that everyone needs to consider and solve. We have given you ten days, which is enough. The program team will check and accept the construction progress every two days, and give everyone task rewards according to the progress."

    "Including but not limited to food rewards, tool rewards, and bathhouse experience cards."

    "bathhouse?"

    The people who were worried about not having a bathroom to wash up immediately regained their spirits, Huang Kaiwen: "If you say this, I won't be sleepy anymore!"

    Lu Yiwei: "Then what are you waiting for, let's discuss how to cover it now."

    Xu Jianian said: "Let's think about how to deal with dinner today. The days are short and the nights are long here, so it's best to gather food and firewood during the day, and we can plan for the igloo at night."

    Everyone looked at the sky and said quickly: "Yes, yes, it's important to eat."

    Barrage: "The sky is big and the earth is big, eating is the biggest, everyone go!"

    After everyone dispersed, Xu Jianian and Lin He took their tools and led Suisui to the woods in the north.

    It just snowed a few days ago, and the closer you get to the fields and forests when you leave the village road, the snow will pile up thicker and thicker.

    Xu Jianian leaned on a ski pole in one hand and Sui Sui in the other, and hung a thermos cup filled with hot water around his neck.

    Lin He also held a ski pole in one hand, a roll of rope and a folding saw in the other, and a knife in his pocket.

    Suisui had a butt pad tied behind his buttocks, and was wearing thick clothes. He felt out of breath after walking a few steps, but he didn't cry tired, and followed his father step by step.

    In the world of ice and snow, there are almost no green plants alive, except for some pine trees, the trees are also bare.

    This made Lin He give up the idea of going up the mountain to find supplies. The snow is too heavy, and the effort to go up the mountain is not necessarily proportional to the benefit.

    However, the situation in the woods is just like what my aunt said, there are many branches broken by heavy snow and strong wind, and some old pine branches that are yellow and falling off, all of which are good fuel.

    Xu Jianian and Suisui picked up the broken branches and asked Lin He to trim them into long strips with a saw and tie them up with rope.

    They were busy in the woods for a while, and Fang Luchen and Huang Kaiwen's family came to chop firewood with their tools.Qin Duan's family didn't need firewood, so they said they would go fishing directly and change the diesel for the RV.

    "Lin He!" Xu Jianian suddenly called out, "You come here."

    Xu Jianian found a tree that had been blown off by the wind on one side of the windward slope. The mouth of the bowl was thick and two or three meters high.More than a day or two.

    "This tree is dead, can you cut it back?" Xu Jianian looked at the camera and asked the cameraman who was following him.

    This time, the place where they survived was not an uninhabited island, but the edge of a village. The mountains, land, and rivers were all the property of the village.

    The big cameraman nodded: "Fragments and dead trees can be collected, and we have agreed with the villagers in advance."

    The program team signed a contract with the village to record the program here. The guests can obtain the resources within the scope of the contract to survive, and the program team has already paid for it.

    After receiving an affirmative answer, Lin He immediately stepped forward to "dismember" the tree, sawing off the stump.

    Xu Jianian and Sui Sui collected those tiny branches on the ground. Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are, and there is a small bundle when they are collected.

    Barrage: "Firewood cutting task √"

    "The early bird catches the worm. Fang Lvchen and the others came a step late, and Xu Jianian and the others have already swept away the obvious places."

    "It feels like they picked it up quite easily. I strongly suspect that the villagers haven't come to cut firewood recently, so they reserved it for the guests."

    "Because the rural areas in the north start hoarding firewood before it's cold, and it will be too late to hoard it when it snows."

    "But now they are not allowed to cut down trees. Where do they usually get their firewood?"

    "Didn't my aunt say that you can pick up the ones that are crushed by the wind and snow and those that fall off naturally, as well as the straw or straw in the field."

    "There are a lot of fruit trees in my hometown, and the branches pruned every year are enough to burn."

    "In fact, there are quite a lot of people who use electric blankets. Some places don't burn kang anymore."

    Lin He took care of the dead tree. Seeing that he might not be able to carry it back, he decided to carry the part that was tied up before.

    He was about to speak to Xu Jianian, but when he looked up, he saw Xu Jianian and Sui Sui standing on the windward snowy slope, taking off Sui Sui's butt pad.

    He walked over in surprise, and saw Xu Jianian put the butt pad on the ground, sat on it by himself, and said to Sui Sui: "I'll skate for a while, and I'll let you play after making sure it's safe."

    Sui Sui nodded obediently.

    Lin He: "..."

    Seeing him, Xu Jianian's eyes lit up, "Quick, push me."

    Lin He observed for a while, this small soil slope is not high, not steep, but the snow is thick and solid, it will not sink when people sit on it, it is a natural slideway.

    The bottom of the slope is an open flat land, which is also covered with thick snow, and there are no obstacles, so it is relatively safe.

    So, he pushed Xu Jianian's back hard, and the other party slid down the top of the snow slope, and his laughter immediately floated up along the wind.

    Barrage: "Hahahahaha I didn't expect that the butt pad can be played like this."

    "Tsk tsk! A man in his twenties actually grabs a child's butt pad for fun (pointing)"

    "Although, it looks fun."

    Although the surface of the fart pad is relatively fine and smooth velvet, it still has a certain degree of friction. Xu Jianian can't slide fast, so he slides slowly to the bottom, his feet shoveling obliquely into the soft snowdrift at the bottom of the slope.

    "It's fun, it's fun." He smiled and climbed up from the bottom of the slope with his ass pad in his arms.

    Lin He gave him a hand and patted the snow off his body.

    Xu Jianian put the butt pad on the top of the slope and said, "Sui Sui, come and try."

    Sui Sui was sitting on the butt mat, Xu Jianian asked him to grab the sides of the fart mat, lean back as far as possible, and push him down the slope with a little force.

    Sui Sui slid slowly to the slope against the wind. Since he was playing for the first time, his body was too tense, his center of gravity was too far back, and he fell on his back in the snow with a plop.

    Xu Jianian laughed and shouted down the slope: "Is it fun?"

    Sui Sui got up, wiped off the snowflakes splashed on the snow goggles, and yelled at them, "It's fun!"

    Lin He laughed, Xu Jianian grabbed his arm suddenly, and asked him, "Do you want to try?"

    Lin He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Xu Jianian interrupted him, "Come on, come on, just try."

    He took Lin He down the slope to pick up Suisui, and when he returned to the slope, he pressed the tall man on the butt pad, and the fluffy and soft little sun pad was immediately crushed.

    Xu Jianian pushed him down hard, but his strength was slightly off. Lin He's route was different from theirs, but his speed was faster, and he reached the bottom of the slope with a swipe.

    "Is it fun?" Xu Jianian and Sui Sui asked him loudly.

    The corners of Lin He's lips raised, he got up and waved at them, giving them a thumbs up.

    To be honest, he has played games that are a hundred times more exciting than this, but it seems that as long as he is with Xu Jianian and Sui Sui, sliding down a small snow slope can also make him feel happy.

    Barrage: "It's fun! (I'll speak for President Lin)"

    "A little butt pad really takes a lot/dog head"

    "People buy fart pads to prevent slipping, but you are better off, use them for skiing."

    "Pull the weeds! Mr. Sui can't buy this butt pad, it's too slippery!"

    "Hahahahaha"

    Lin He patted the snow on the butt mat and returned to the slope.

    "You play." He handed the butt pad to Xu Jianian, "Wear your hat and snow goggles, don't jump directly into the snow, there may be stones or hard objects under the snow, don't get hurt."

    Xu Jianian and Sui Sui nodded obediently.

    "What about you?" Xu Jianian asked.

    Lin He: "I'll carry a bundle of firewood back first, and I'll pick you up later."

    Xu Jianian looked at the sky, "Forget it, let's go back together, we will have a chance to play in the future."

    Sui Sui nodded, and put away his playfulness, "We still have to go fishing."

    Lin He raised the corners of his lips, touched his son's head, and looked at Xu Jianian, "Okay, I'll make you a skateboard in two days."

    Xu Jianian and Suisui nodded together: "Okay!"

    Barrage: "Woooo my wife and Mr. Sui are so good."

    [In order for his wife and children to be able to play skiing, President Lin has to give full play to his "tool man" spirit and work hard?】

    "He's really! I cried to death! How could he be so good!"

    Lin He packed up all the firewood he had cut and tied them up. There were two big bundles in total, plus a small bundle of old pine branches.

    Xu Jianian wanted to carry one of the large bundles of firewood on his back, but Lin He held him down and pointed to the bundle of old pine branches: "You carry that bundle, and I'll do the rest."

    "I'll try." Xu Jianian insisted, "Otherwise, why would you carry two bundles by yourself?"

    Lin He picked up a long tree trunk that was purposely left behind, and said, "Use this as a pole, so both ends must be the same weight, otherwise you won't be able to carry it stably."

    Xu Jianian was skeptical, but when he saw that Lin He really inserted the tree trunk into the knots of the two bundles of firewood and picked them up, he was stunned in surprise.

    Barrage: "6666 Mr. Lin is too good!"

    "Isn't it heavy?" Xu Jianian asked in disbelief.

    "Heavy." Lin He gritted his teeth and said, "So we have to go quickly to save time."

    When Xu Jianian heard the words, he immediately picked up the bundle of old pine branches.

    Lin He raised his hand to help, and said, "Be careful, the pine branches are facing backwards, don't shave your face."

    He purposely surrounded the bundle of pine branches with a half circle of flat branches. This half circle is next to the back, so that it is not easy to be scratched by the pine branches on the skin or scratch the clothes.

    Xu Jianian straightened his back and held Sui Sui, "Okay, let's go."

    They greeted the other two families who were still collecting firewood, and walked back with firewood on their backs.

    In the middle of the journey, Lin He stopped to rest twice and changed his shoulders.

    After returning to the brick house and putting down the firewood, Xu Jianian immediately rubbed Lin He's shoulders, "How is it? Does it hurt?"

    Lin He said: "It's okay, I feel okay."

    It's winter, Xu Jianian can't take off his collar, so he can only say: "I'll take a look for you tonight."

    Lin He nodded, turned around and took the fishing tackle, ice trolley and wooden bucket, "Let's go fishing."

    Xu Jianian took out half of the basket of strawberries given by his aunt, and took the remaining half of the basket, intending to take it to the river to wash and eat.

    By the river, Qin Duan's family has dug an ice hole here and has been fishing for an hour.

    "coming."

    Lin He walked towards him: "Is there any gain?"

    Qin Duan asked him to look at his feet. There was only a small fish two fingers wide, which had been frozen. "I want to change places."

    On the other side, Zheng Na is already digging an ice hole with the restless Qin Xiaoyu.

    Lin He and Xu Jianian looked at each other, and went to find a place suitable for ice fishing to cut ice.

    Passing through the ice hole where water was fetched at noon, Lin He saw that a thin layer of crushed ice had formed inside again, so he broke it open with an ice pick, and scooped out the crushed ice with a bucket.

    Xu Jianian was slightly surprised and asked, "Are we just fishing here?"

    This place was dug by everyone at noon. Qin Duan didn't occupy this place when he came first, so it's not good for them to fish here directly, right?

    Lin He said: "It's just to clean up the broken ice to prevent it from freezing again, and it has to be chiseled again."

    Xu Jianian nodded and asked him, "Then will you find fish nests?"

    "Try." In fact, Lin He has no experience in ice fishing, and he was taught by the survival coach of the program group.

    He walked around the ice and picked a place to cut ice.

    Xu Jianian helped to assemble the fishing tackle. Because they were not sure whether they could find bait in the ice and snow, they brought powdered bait this time. don't know if the fish in the north like it or not.

    Without a chair, Lin He squatted by the edge of the ice hole and started fishing.

    Xu Jianian went to wash the strawberries in the ice cave where the water was fetched. The water was too cold, so he directly scooped up a bucket of water, put the basket near the ice cave, poured water in and rinsed it, and it was considered finished.

    This basket was also given by the enthusiastic aunt, who gave them an extra tool invisibly.

    After washing the strawberries, Xu Jianian was afraid that they would freeze, so he hurriedly took them to Lin He and Suisui, and gave some to Qin Duan's family of three.

    Then he took Suisui to the shore to cut hay, brought a pile of hay and put it on the ice, and used it as a cushion for Lin He.

    "You sit and squat for a while and your legs are numb."

    Lin He's heart warmed, and he pulled him to sit down together, "Are you tired? Is it cold?"

    "It's okay." Xu Jianian held Suisui in his arms and asked him, "How about you? Is it cold?"

    Sui Sui shook his head, and took his little hand out of the pocket of his down jacket. He was not wearing gloves, and his palm was spread out. There was a warm strawberry in it, "Dad eat it, it's not cold."

    Dad was so busy distributing strawberries to them and Uncle Qin's family just now that he didn't even eat a few.

    Xu Jianian was slightly stunned, took off his gloves and held his cool little hand, "You eat, there are some at home, I'll eat when I go home."

    As soon as the words were finished, Lin He also took out his hand from his pocket, and spread out his palm, there were two warmed strawberries.

    Xu Jianian smiled, "That's just right, one for each of us."

    Barrage: "Whoa, whoa, why are you holding strawberries in your pocket, just to keep warm and give it to your wife?"

    "Boss Lin and President Sui are really in the same line when it comes to pampering Jia Nian."

    "Boss Lin is obviously superior."

    "Don't underestimate Mr. Sui. If his hands were not too small, he would warm two strawberries for Dad!"

    "Mr. Sui: I have learned, I will use both hands next time."

    After eating the strawberries, Xu Jianian warmed up Suisui's little hands, put on the gloves again, and told him: "Dad will be angry next time, if you don't wear gloves, you will get frostbite, you know that?"

    Sui Sui nodded obediently, "Got it."

    Fishing requires patience, but waiting is a waste of time. Lin He went home and fetched a piece of wood, and made tableware with Xu Jianian.

    It is inconvenient to use a knife with gloves on, and his hands are cold after taking off the gloves. Xu Jianian can't help but sigh that bamboo is better.

    The sun was setting and the sky was getting darker. Two shallow wooden bowls had already been made, but Lin He raised the pole several times but failed to catch any fish.

    Qin Duan didn't gain any more, and the same was true for Fang Luchen and Huang Kaiwen's family later.

    Half of the sun is hidden under the plain, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and everyone's hearts are becoming more and more anxious.

    If you can't catch any fish, you'll be hungry tonight.
