Qingshan Village is covered in white everywhere. The continuous snowfall has made the whole village only see a piece of white. The middle-aged men in the village have to climb on their roofs to sweep back the snow every day, and many houses have collapsed under the weight of the snow.
Fortunately, the houses were made of beams made of good wood, and they were careful to clear snow at all times, and they basically only stepped on woodsheds, latrines, and the like, so no lives were lost.
The Li family, Li Sanzhi and Li Laizhi would sweep the snow off the roof the next day, and also clear the snow in front and behind the house. However, they would always just clear the path, and soon it would be blocked by snow.
When the weather came down, even the door was blocked by snow and couldn't be opened. It took several people to push it open.
It's already mid-February, and the snow is still falling, with no sign of warming up. Now, many unprepared families are already short of firewood. In such a cold winter, there is no firewood to burn the kang, even if you cover yourself with several quilts, you can't.
It's getting warmer. Several families who are short of firewood have no choice but to make friends and borrow firewood from their friends. It was okay at first, and no one took a few bundles of firewood seriously. Now that spring has not returned, who knows what the snow will be like.
When will it rain? I’ve never heard of the story of snow falling in June. Maybe I won’t have enough firewood by then. Everyone has his own little ninety-nine in his heart.
Several waves of people came to the Li family to borrow firewood. Old Man Li, Li Sanzhi and Li Laizhi and his son were hardworking and went up to the mountain to cut a lot of firewood after the autumn harvest. There is still more than half of the house in the woodshed. Old Man Li and his son
She always had trouble keeping her face open, and would ask someone to take a few bundles away from anyone who came. Now, seeing the snow falling non-stop, Ms. Feng became anxious. If anyone came to borrow firewood, she would just say no.
At the beginning of March, the snow has not stopped, and more and more families in the village are without firewood. Many people go out together to find some firewood covered by the snow. The trees in the front and back yards of many people's houses have been cut down.
Even the unused doors were chopped down and burned. Gradually, only trees were visible on the mountains. Some people secretly went up the mountains to cut firewood, almost with their lives. Those who lived with jackals and leopards had been starving for several months.
It bites people very cruelly.
The Li family has strictly restricted the amount of firewood used. Each person in the house is only allowed to burn one kang. Even Li Youzhi moved in with his parents. Several elderly people in the village could not survive and there was nothing they could do.
For the funeral, we can only dig a hole and bury it. Many old people and children have caught cold or severe frostbite. Shiro is naughty and can't bear to stay in the room every day. He can't help but sneak out. Now he also has frostbite, although it is not serious.
But he was so itchy that he couldn't sleep every night. He, who prided himself on being a little man, scratched when he was anxious, which made tears well up in his eyes. Mrs. Liu could only hold him to sleep every night and coax him softly. He was already twelve years old.
At the age of 18, he would always be so embarrassed that his ears would be red with shame every time he was nestled in Mrs. Liu's arms. Fortunately, the little You Yuezhen had raised him with things from the space since he was a child, so he was okay for the time being.
Now Ms. Liu has strictly restricted their access to the kang. Li Sanzhi and Ms. Liu even take their meals directly to the kang table and only go to bed when going to the toilet. Ms. Liu is afraid that the children will be bored.
In addition to reading and writing, she also told them some interesting myths or short stories. Liu was not very good at telling stories and always spoke dryly. It only sounded better when she talked about interesting things about herself or her children when they were young. Li Sanzhi, on the other hand,
No matter what Mrs. Liu said, he listened attentively and looked at Mrs. Liu from time to time. Yuezhen felt warm in her heart every time she saw her. The years are peaceful. How wonderful it would be if it could be like this for the rest of her life!
Yuezhen has tried it. There are so many elixirs in the space that are of no use against frostbite and wind and cold. These cultivators do not care about the cold and heat. It is true. Even the spiritual spring water and spiritual liquid are not omnipotent and can only strengthen the body.
, making people less likely to get sick and stronger in recovery. In other words, the so-called detoxification and healing effects are probably due to their ability to remove impurities from the body. Unfortunately, Dr. Liu, the only barefoot doctor in the village, has long since run out of medicines.
She couldn't leave the village, so she could only worry. When Yuezhen got the space, she bought all kinds of seeds, only ordinary Chinese herbal seeds, and didn't think about it at all. Later, she rarely entered the space. Now that she thinks about it, God gave her
She actually didn't use such a big cheating device. She couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when she saw that the people in the village lacked medical treatment.
In the village, many superstitious elders have opened ancestral halls to pray for the blessings of their ancestors. They have also spent a lot of money to offer sacrifices to the gods, praying for God's forgiveness and leaving a ray of hope for the old and young in the village. There are also many people in the village secretly
They talk about the unfairness of heaven and have serious grievances, or some people say that it is the person above who has mismanaged the government, and even God cannot see it,,,
Mrs. Liu cannot go out and is very worried about her parents, younger brother, and older sister. The situation in this town and county is probably even worse. Most families can only buy enough firewood or charcoal for a few months, which is only enough for Maodong.
It only lasts for a few months. Once spring starts, there will be woodcutters who will chop the firewood to sell. It is very convenient and there is no need to pile it up. On the other hand, for farmers, the mountains are full of firewood. Those who are more diligent will clear the woodshed and unused open space in the yard.
By filling up the corridors and other places, you can prepare firewood for more than half a year at one time. Although it is not abundant, it will not be lacking for a while.
"Don't worry, my mother and eldest sister are both well-informed people. They will buy food for a few months, a year, and probably firewood as well. As soon as the snow stops, I will go and take a look. Don't worry too much.
." Seeing Mrs. Liu's frown all day long, Li Sanzhi comforted her.
"I won't worry if there is a shortage of food. There was a famine when my mother was a child, and her grandmother died of starvation. Therefore, she always has the habit of saving food, and will always keep enough food for one year. No matter how poor she is, she only has firewood.
I'm afraid..." Ms. Liu felt anxious every time she thought about it. Her younger siblings were still pregnant with their babies, and her parents were getting older. She felt uneasy every day without any news.
"No, last time you went to give New Year's gifts, didn't you say that it was just in time for my mother to buy New Year's goods? She gave you a lot of things, even two carts of charcoal fire, and wanted to send you some. You said
The kang was not delivered because it was not needed. The two carts of charcoal fires are enough to last for several months!"
"Yes, I hope my worries are in vain. Hey, if this snow falls for another two months, the people in the village will have no way to survive!"
"We still have enough firewood and enough food to eat until this autumn's harvest. Don't worry!" When Li Sanzhi saw something was wrong, he and Li Laizhi cut down all the trees in front of and behind the house. They were smart.
, even the trees on the edge of the mountain were cut down first, and they were just right for burning with the dry firewood at home.
"If it keeps falling like this, we won't be able to catch up with the spring plowing. What can we do for the autumn harvest then? This snow will..."
"Don't worry, this snow can't keep falling for a year. As long as the snow stops, those who go out to work and forage in the fields will not lose their livelihood." Li Sanzhi patted Mrs. Liu on the back and comforted her.
Yuezhen was very worried after listening to her parents' conversation. In her previous life, there had been a snowstorm in a province. With so many advanced equipment and the government's full rescue efforts, there were also cases of people freezing to death. Now she is living in a small village, even if the court
It is difficult to come here when there is disaster relief. Looking at her brothers and sisters sleeping soundly and snoring next to her, Yuezhen thought to herself: The best thing to do is to be honest with her parents about the matter. No matter what, she must protect her family's survival.
Go down.
The winter rations distributed by Feng to cats have long been gone. Feng has always been very strict with food. At that time, he only distributed enough rations to last until February. Now it is already the beginning of March, and Feng has no idea.
Talking about food distribution. Every time I go to ask for food, I always count the food. I can’t eat many meals. Yuezhen sometimes doesn’t care whether she will be discovered, and always secretly adds some food grown in the space into the food bag. Now at home,
There are no more cabbage or radishes. The Li family can only eat pickles and steamed buns for every meal. Feng only has three mouths. He can occasionally fry a few pieces of meat or scramble an egg. There has been no oil and water for a long time. The Li family has no food.
The child was so greedy, but even Liulang, the most greedy of the Feng family, gradually found it difficult to get a piece of meat. Feng family always had to scold him, and old man Li, who always loved his grandchildren the most, did not stop him and just kept his head down.
smokes.
The third room is okay. There are wild fruits and vegetables picked by Yuezhen and her siblings from the mountains, as well as food sent by Liu's family. In addition, Yuezhen's supplement is not much, but occasionally she can eat bacon stewed with wild vegetables.
There is always no shortage of three small pieces of polished rice paste. The Liu family bought a lot of it themselves, and the Liu family sent some more. Only the eggs were broken, and there were countless eggs. Yuezhen really didn't dare to add more, otherwise
, No matter how big-hearted Ms. Liu is, she should be suspicious. However, eating rice cereal alone is not enough for nutrition. Ms. Liu now has no milk to feed her third child. Her little face that only gained weight in three children is gradually losing weight. Even though Yue Zhen is worried,
There was nothing she could do about it. She didn't want to ruin her peaceful life until she had to. She didn't dare to bet that once her parents knew about the space, they would think she was a monster or accidentally leak it to outsiders, and she would never recover from it.
A tool to make money for others?
Fang'er from the eldest house came to ask for steamed buns and dried wild vegetables a few times. Mrs. Liu gave them all at first, but later when the situation became unclear, Mrs. Liu refused. Fang'er never used them again, and she didn't know how to solve the food problem.
. Only Mrs. Liu had never seen Mrs. Yang go out to do things all winter. She only stayed with Sanlang. She had asked the doctor several times, but she didn't know if the cold was gone. Fang'er was clumsily making steamed buns alone, and there was no help.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but lend a hand to the people in the village every time she saw them. When she came back, she would talk to Li Sanzhi about how she was originally a wealthy lady, but now she was a concubine doing rough work. I wonder if she regretted it at the moment?
After hearing this, Yuezhen thought: She must regret it, but now, she can only bite the bullet and go on. If in modern times, she could still be a single mother. With her talent, she would never be hungry.
Death. But now if she becomes an abandoned concubine, her fate is really hard to predict. Yue Zhen always feels that Aunt Fang'er just became her uncle's concubine because she had no choice but to be her uncle's concubine. She doesn't believe it sincerely.
, I am afraid that Aunt Fang'er is more talented than my uncle! I have to say, Yue Zhen has discovered the truth.
