Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 5457 Blizzard
Changping Village.

"The snow has been so heavy these past few days that the road up the mountain has been buried. In some places, the snow is buried up to the knees when you step on it, and you can't walk at all..."

"Don't talk about people in the Taoist temple, there is not even a shadow of a ghost. Daoist Yuan simply closed the door of the Taoist temple for Qingxiu, leaving Xiao Mo there to wait on him. We were all sent home..."

Yang Huaming came to visit Yang Huazhong's house, sitting around the charcoal fire basin, talking to Yang Huazhong and the others while toasting his hands and feet.

Yang Huazhong looked at the goose feather and heavy snow outside the house, his face full of worry.

"It's been three days, and there is no momentum to close it at all. If this continues, the road will be blocked. I'm worried that some houses in the village will collapse..."

Changping Village is the largest village in Shiliba Village, with nearly two hundred households.

[-]% of the families rely on transportation teams, herbal collection teams to do small business, or they have a strong family and work diligently on farm work, or they rent other people's fields to do it, and they live in large tile-roofed houses. In those days, the remaining [-]% of the families were still struggling with food and clothing.

They lived in low mud thatched huts, they ate their last meal without resting their meals, and some of them were lazy and gave birth to babies. The whole family couldn't find a pair of decent trousers here in the middle of winter.

The whole family wears a pair of trousers, and if the man wears them, the wife cannot go out. If the wife wears them, the man has to wrap them on the bed at home.

What Yang Huazhong is most worried about is that if such a family catches up with such a snowstorm, what will happen if the house collapses?

"I can't do anything about the master's matter today. Let's take our village chief Rong's house as an example. I told him in the spring that he asked someone to renovate the house. His father was still alive in that house. It was fixed at the time, but now how many years have passed, it has long been in disrepair, and the Changrong family is crowded inside like a pigsty. There is wind and rain leaking everywhere, but he keeps on. It will be a blizzard, and I am most worried It's the Evergreen family." Yang Huazhong continued.

Yang Huaming curled his lips: "In the past, I thought I was the most useless one in Changping Village, but now I realize that Changrong is even worse than me."

"He played with me for a long time. At that time, he relied on his father to help him marry a wife and gave birth to three sons, but he showed it off in front of me for a long time. What about now?

Ever since his father passed away, his family has been worsening day by day. I still know how to find some errands to support the family. Chang Rong Chun Sui is a lazy person. He relied on his father to marry a wife, but Now his three sons are all bachelors, his wife died of illness last year, and now there are four bachelors living in three thatched huts in the family. The older girls and younger daughter-in-laws in the village dare not pass by his house, for fear of some sudden red The ignorant bachelor yelled like a hooligan, a hooligan..."

"Pfft..."

Yang Ruoqing came in from the outside holding an umbrella, just when she heard Yang Huaming say this, she couldn't help laughing.

"Fourth uncle, what you said about the Changrong family is too scary!"

"Qing'er, what I said about your fourth uncle is a bit exaggerated, but it's not too bad. That Changrong is shameless and wants to help his eldest son marry me."

"What? The eldest son of the Changrong family wants to marry the third girl?" Yang Ruoqing put away the umbrella and put it at the door, then stomped the snow on the soles of her shoes at the door.

Yang Huaming said: "Isn't that the case? In such a family, any girl will suffer if she marries. I refused immediately."

Yang Ruoqing entered the room, and Yang Huazhong pointed to the empty fire bucket beside him and said, "Qing'er, go and sit in the fire bucket, that's the brazier your mother made after breakfast, and the fire is burning."

Yang Ruoqing took off her shoes and sat in the fire barrel, where there were still several pairs of shoe soles baking.

She stepped on the insole directly, which was so warm and comfortable.

"Father, where are my mother and Xiao Hua?" she asked.

Yang Huazhong said: "Hua'er should be accompanying Fuwa in the backyard room. Your mother doesn't know what to do in the kitchen, so she won't come if she is asked to warm up."

Yang Ruoqing smiled.

Yang Huaming joked: "This shows that my third sister-in-law is a good woman who can't stay idle and can take care of the house. It's not like the Liu family in the past. She sleeps late in a different way, as lazy as a snake."

Yang Huazhong just laughed.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Fourth Uncle, you are talking about the former Fourth Aunt, and the current Fourth Aunt, I heard that she is very capable, and she manages the small business well."

"Have you heard about it? Hey, she rented a stall in Washi to sell vegetables and fruits." Yang Huaming said.

"I heard that He'er and Kang boy are selling vegetables with Fourth Aunt?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Yang Huaming nodded: "Well, I brought them all over, my mother and I are going to eat and drink spicy food in the town."

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "What? Fourth uncle, are you envious?"

Yang Huaming stared: "What are you talking about, why would my elders be jealous of her small business?"

Yang Huazhong couldn't help but said, "Fourth brother, don't even mention it. The four younger brothers and sisters have been self-reliant outside for the past two years. It's really like a different person. You are not very old, you are all in your early forties. After this There are still many decades left in half your life, if you go and find your fourth sibling, it will be better than the original spouse!"

Yang Huaming was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up, but then he shook his head like a rattle.

"A good horse never turns back, so I don't care about her!"

"What? Is fourth uncle still waiting for Aunt Xiaojuan?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.

Upon hearing Xiaojuan's name, Yang Huaming's face darkened.

"Qing'er, you really don't know how to chat. I have to mention her. The worst thing I, Yang Huaming, did in my life was to spend time on her, which made my wife and children separated. My family is not like my family. people!"

Yang Ruoqing quickly apologized and smiled: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything if I don't."

After a while Mrs. Sun came over, with a veil wrapped around her head, her face was still flushed from the cold.

"Oh, the snow is really heavy. The cabbage was completely covered by the snow. It took me a long time to pull it out before I pulled out a basket."

"Mom, why don't you wear the scarf I gave you? Look at your cold face..."

Sun smiled and said: "Your scarf is so good, wouldn't it be a waste for me to wear it for rough work?"

Yang Huaming joked: "The third sister-in-law will go back to her relative Dai in the first month."

Mrs. Sun nodded: "That's right, keep the relatives to support the scene."

Yang Ruoqing looked helpless, and quickly stretched out her hand to Mrs. Sun: "Mother, hurry up and sit in the fire bucket to warm your hands and feet."

Mrs. Sun sat in the fire bucket, next to Yang Ruoqing.

"Qing'er, the snow-covered vegetable sprouts are fried with lard. They taste delicious and sweet. You can take a handful of them home and fry them later."

Yang Ruoqing couldn't bear to ask her mother to pick up the vegetable sprouts pulled out from the snow, so she held Sun's hand that was as cold as a carrot and baked it in the fire bucket, and said, "Mother, no need, when I came here in the morning, I saw my stove The aunt in the room has prepared two baskets of vegetables, as well as the cucumbers and eggplants we brought back from the greenhouse outside."
