The sky is still gloomy and the snow is still falling.
I don’t know how long this snow will last, but by this time, everyone in the village, regardless of you and me, is rushing to repair roofs, push snow with trucks, and clean village roads...
Yu Zhao made a special trip to the forest farm. After discussing with the chief manager, he decided that the forest farm would take a break and start work after the new year.
The bottom line is that the world is peaceful now, and there is not much demand for rolling wood and other items. It is enough to leave a few people to supervise the forest farm every day, and there is no need for so many people. This break is undoubtedly a timely help, and the men in each village do not have to work for them.
In a hurry, we all rush to repair, rescue, and strengthen the house to take precautions.
In Wanghe Village, due to Jiang Jianye's "forced accommodation" last night, there were no casualties in the village. But the same could not be said for other villages. They were crying and howling in the morning, and they were miserable. Because of Wanghe Village and Yujiatun, Guandao left the town.
The journey from Li to Yujiatun is smooth.
Although the snow is still falling, Li Zhong has gained experience and divided everyone into several groups equally, and sends two groups out to clean up every hour. The forestry farm is also very helpful, knowing that the houses in each village that have been crushed by snow will not be damaged.
We sold a batch of beam timber for building houses in the village at a low price, which was urgently needed.
Because of Yu Zhao, the use of wood in Wanghe Village was very timely. Every family was very happy to spend money to strengthen their roofs. Some even ordered red tiles in one step and replaced the roof directly. It was just because it was winter, otherwise they would have been desperate.
The house was demolished and rebuilt.
Anyway, no matter what everyone did, everyone in the village helped out. They were busy all day long, and some even picked up lanterns to continue working even after dark, just to move into a safe house as soon as possible.
The snow has been falling all night and all day, with no sign of stopping. Every household has to clear the snow from the roofs of their tile-roofed houses every two hours, and the piles of snow in the fields have reached an unknown height. They all say, "Winter Mai Gai San"
"I will sleep with steamed buns on my pillow next year." As far as the village is concerned, three layers of quilts are definitely not enough, and five layers of quilts are conservative estimates.
The children no longer dare to go out to play, for fear of falling into a snowdrift, going over their heads, and never getting out. Every household is giving warnings, for fear that if the children disobey, something will happen to them. No matter how powerful human beings are, they are still vulnerable to natural disasters.
Very small.
Just keep cleaning, cleaning, cleaning again...
Finally, on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month - the snow stopped and the sun came out. Jiang Jianye's family also began to prepare for Qi's funeral, busy with the details. Both his parents-in-law passed away, and their children were all married. They were not young and could enter the main grave.
.
The land is covered with heavy snow, and burial is imminent. Liangyan Liaodong also has a plan to deal with burials in such bad weather.
Burn the zhezi and firewood together to create a space for digging a pit.
Dong Cheng, Guo Dake and others went to the mountain early in the morning. Jiang Lihong and Jiang Liqiang were busy at home. The married daughter of the Jiang family came back to attend the funeral. There were many siblings, so there was no confusion. Jiang Jianye specially found two masters and killed them too.
A few chickens make for a rich meal.
They can be vegetarian, but those who help cannot be treated harshly.
Jiang Jianye left everything at home to his two daughters-in-law, and Jiang Jianye went to the village to count the casualties. No matter how careful and careful he was, there were still casualties in several households. It was even worse in other villages. In Yujiatun alone, they knew that there were 17 households.
They were devastated. Not to mention the villages in the mountains and the villages further away.
As soon as the incident broke out, Mr. Pang immediately found Li Hui and asked him to prepare food and open a porridge restaurant. This was the best opportunity to accumulate reputation, and it was so close to Wanghe Village, so he had to do his part.
Cheng Xue heard the words and went out to help with the preparations. She took the four children with her to prepare for the porridge together.
The food was readily available and the cauldron was borrowed directly from the clan. Li Zhong had experience in setting up a porridge restaurant, so he could handle it with ease.
Over the past few days, Li Juren's reputation in Wanghe Village has skyrocketed, directly crushing the scholars and juren who followed suit.
Listening to Li Zhong's report on his return, Mr. Pang patted Li Hui on the shoulder and said:
"What more can a husband ask for when he has such a wife? You are not a simple daughter-in-law. She actually knows how to seize the opportunity. Yes, it's great."
Li Hui was naturally proud of you, nodded with a smile, and continued to practice Chinese calligraphy.
As the New Year approaches, Mr. Pang has stopped giving lectures. In order to maintain his condition, Li Hui chooses the time to practice calligraphy during the general examination. This is also the experience he summed up from the modern college entrance examination to cultivate the biological clock.
After finishing writing a few big words, Mr. Pang could not help but nod his head after reading it and said:
"Yes, the handwriting is getting more and more flavorful, especially the strokes. I have formed my own unique habits, which is good. When do you plan to go to Beijing after the year? You really don't want to live with me?"
"I can't live any longer." Li Hui shook his head, "Qinglin will help us rent a house when he returns to the capital. As a family, we won't bother you anymore. Besides, you are going to Beijing to consult on the scientific examination. It's better to avoid suspicion.
."
Mr. Pang stroked his beard and wanted to tell him that "consultant" and "proposing a question" were two different concepts, but he swallowed the words again.
You really have to avoid suspicion, otherwise the experience of getting along and drinking during this period of time is really unclear.
"Well, since you have made up your mind, avoiding suspicion is also about protecting yourself. Then, when you go to the capital, come to my place first, and I will entertain them and you well. It can also be considered as a thank you for the troubles our ancestors and grandchildren have caused you during this time." "I understand, sir, I will definitely come on time." Li Hui agreed.
After packing up their things and leaving the house, Li Heng and Yan Yixin showed up on time. Tengfei Academy had already rested, and Yan Yixin came back the night before yesterday. The process of coming back was very bumpy, but fortunately the children got home safely, so there was no need to worry about the process.
In the main courtyard, Cheng Xue was talking to Yu Niang about the ceremony.
Last year, there were a lot of couples getting married in the village, and this year there were a lot of people giving birth to children in the village.
Living in a village, how could he not go after knowing the news? Cheng Xue has been busy with Sui Li these days.
Most of them are given three feet of cotton and silk cloth, and if they are good with each other, they will add twenty eggs. But as they continue to give, they find that there are not enough eggs. One egg per person in the family can't be beaten in the morning, but chickens don't like it in winter.
Laying eggs, that's a problem.
"Madam, in my humble opinion, three feet of cotton silk cloth and three feet of woolen blue cloth are enough. There is no need to give eggs."
"The woolen green cloth is still a bit inferior, so let's use five feet of cotton and silk cloth. It's mainly for children, and adults can do anything." Cheng Xue reminded softly.
When Yu Niang saw Li Hui entering the room, she hurriedly knelt down to salute and went out to start her business. Cheng Xuesheng handed him a bowl of hot longan soup and continued her embroidery work.
She went to Beijing after the New Year. Although she made a lot of clothes, she wanted to have a sense of ceremony, so she embroidered the clothes of the same color for two people with the same pattern. Li Hui was very happy with this. Although there are some straight men occasionally, the ceremony
