The Changbai Mountain forest area is an alpine mountainous area, and snow falls earlier than other places.
Generally speaking, it will snow on the main peak of Changbai Mountain in early October.
Until after May Day the following year, there would often be heavy snowfall on the top of the mountain.
Qianchuan Forest Farm is very close to the protected area. Due to the climate on the top of the mountain, snow falls much earlier than in other places.
It snows in mid-October, which is normal.
It became cloudy on the afternoon of the 15th. Sheng Xiping and the others saw that the weather was not looking right, so they stopped work early and headed back to the pine tower.
As soon as I got home, it started to rain sparsely. After a while, the rain turned into snow and drifted downwards.
At first, the snow melted when it fell on the ground. As the snow became heavier and heavier, the ground began to turn white, and the mountains and rivers gradually became covered with silver.
"Okay, we can't go up the mountain tomorrow, so let's stop working."
After dinner, Sheng Xiping looked at the snowflakes still falling outside and sighed.
After the light rain turned to heavy snow, the trees were wet and slippery, making it too dangerous to climb.
"Okay, I've been very tired these past few days, so I'll just take a nap tomorrow."
How many young people like to get up early? There is nothing you can do about it because you are usually busy. If you finally seize the opportunity, why don't you just sleep until the end of time?
Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo were very happy when they saw the snow outside. They got into bed and closed their eyes contentedly to sleep.
"Oh, it's good to live in a collective household. When you're not alive, you can sleep as long as you want.
If we were at home and couldn't get up in the morning, my mother would have to throw off the quilt and scream."
Others in the room were also talking there.
Hearing this, Sheng Xiping smiled and shook his head.
These guys, when they eat, they find the food in the cafeteria unpalatable and not as good as what they eat at home.
When I went to bed, I felt that the collective household was better and no one was taking care of it.
How can there be so many perfect things in this world?
There was no leisure time all autumn, and it was a rare day when I didn't have to get up early, and everyone slept soundly.
As a result, at eight o'clock the next day, Gao Haining, who had already moved out of the collective housing, opened the door and entered the house with a cold air.
"I'll go, it's so cold.
Hey, are you all too lazy? It’s this time and no one is getting up to clear the snow.”
This guy has a loud voice, and he shouts when he comes in.
"Hey, Gao Haining, you are about to get married and have a wife. Why did you come to the collective household to mess with us bachelors so early in the morning?"
Several people who were sleeping in the room were woken up.
Wang Jianshe turned to look at Gao Haining, pulled up the quilt and covered his head, intending to continue sleeping.
"Hey, hey, don't sleep, get up quickly.
Xiping, it’s snowing outside, let’s go hunting together in the mountains?
Didn’t you say that it’s best to conduct a siege when it snows? The prey’s tracks cannot be hidden and are easy to find.”
Gao Haining didn't care about that, he went straight to Sheng Xiping and asked Sheng Xiping to get up.
Sheng Xiping opened his eyes helplessly and looked at the silly Gao Haining in front of him.
"Haining, you are about to get a wife. If you are not busy at home all day, why go hunting in the mountains?"
It was a good thing that Sheng Xiping didn't wake up angry, otherwise looking at Gao Haining's cheerful face, it would be really difficult to control himself and not punch him twice.
"Well, it's just because I'm getting married soon. I'm thinking about going up to the mountain with you to prepare something. It'll look good when we host a banquet later.
Otherwise, what should we do? My family and Fengying’s family have been saving meat tickets for a long time, but we haven’t been able to buy much meat.
My mother was at a loss and asked the forest farm store to bring in some canned meat.
That thing is so expensive that it’s not worth it, so why don’t you go into the mountains and get some game?”
Gao Haining sat on the edge of the Kang and chatted with Sheng Xiping.
Nowadays, if you want to hold a happy event, you have to prepare for it for a long time in advance.
Tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea are all provided, some require tickets and some have quotas.
Relatives and friends all helped to save tickets, and it took a lot of effort to save enough, but there were not necessarily that many shops.
Everything else is fine, especially this dish is difficult to serve at a banquet.
The wedding table can't be all carrots, cabbage, and potatoes, right? Why can't it be a little meaty? But this meat is the hardest to find.
Even if you have meat coupons, the store may not have that much meat.
It’s not too cold this season, so you can’t buy them in advance because they might get damaged easily. It’s really hard to be a human being.
Gao Haining was thinking that he would have to go to Sheng Xiping for this matter.
Taking advantage of the bad weather and being unable to do anything else, he asked Sheng Xiping to take him into the mountains to collect something and come back.
Just give me as much money as you need, and nothing is better than nothing.
"Haining, why did you come here so early in the morning?"
Sheng Xiping sighed, got out of bed, and quickly put on his clothes.
The house in the collective household is large, the room is too empty, and it is not warm.
The stove hadn't been turned on at this time, so it was very hot under the covers. As soon as I got out of the covers, I felt freezing, so I had to get dressed quickly.
"I forgot to tell you that you can't go hunting in the mountains on the first day of snow."
This is the first snowfall this fall. It is the first time for the wild beasts in the mountains to see snow in half a year. Most of them cannot adapt to it and lie in their dens refusing to move.
It would be around three or four o'clock in the afternoon when I was so hungry that I would go out to look for food.
Therefore, it is a good time to go up the mountain tomorrow and you can see the tracks of various wild animals.
"Let's go tomorrow. Tomorrow we will go into the mountains and hit whatever we encounter.
Just don't go. Those who are about to get married and become the groom's official should stay at home and stay well."
In fact, even if Gao Haining doesn't come, Sheng Xiping plans to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow.
Sheng Xiping and Gao Haining are good buddies who grew up together, and Zhou Qinglan and Tang Fengying are cousins.
From now on, these are all my relatives, so it's only right to help.
Not to mention, Gao Haining and Tang Fengying were worried and laborious about Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xiping.
Sheng Xiping has already planned for Gao Haining to get married, and he will try his best to help.
Sheng Xiping didn't have any other skills. He could go into the mountains to catch some game and add some dishes to the banquet.
As for Gao Haining, he should just stay at home.
When the groom goes into the mountain, if something goes wrong, he can't explain it.
"Ah? So that's it. Well, then I'll trouble you guys.
No matter what you pick up later, I'll take it at the price." Gao Haining was stunned when he heard this, then he realized what he was doing and hurriedly expressed.
"Don't be stubborn with me. One code belongs to another. We are brothers and love each other, but the wedding banquet is not in vain."
Gao Haining was stunned. It didn't mean that he was stupid. He still understood the ways of the world.
Even if my brother wants to help, he can't just lick his face and ask for it in vain. It means that he means that.
"Okay, we guys don't have to be particular about it. Let's talk about it when the time comes."
Sheng Xiping put on his shoes and went to the ground, went out for a while, then came back with firewood and quickly burned the kang.
With Gao Haining making such a fuss, everyone doesn't need to sleep anymore.
One by one, they could only get up groaning. Those who burned the kang and those who swept the snow all got up to work.
Originally, it was said that the collective households would set up their own cooking groups, but these male educated youths were lazy and unwilling to move.
Most of the time I still go to the canteen, or else I go home to eat, so no one cooks at all.
