Hard times have room

Chapter 563
When the father and daughter pushed away their yard against the snow, Su Hongying immediately greeted them.

"I came back so late, and it's still snowing. It's really worrying. Fortunately, I came back safely." After that, he took the sack on Wang Jiandang's shoulder.

"The two of you go to the kitchen first, go to the fire, and warm your body. There is porridge left for you in the pot, and they are all hot!"

"I've already eaten, don't wait for me." After saying this while walking, Su Hongying took the sack and went straight to the main room. She had to put it in Baolin's room and make a bed for her.

On such a cold day, even if it was a fire, they didn't have their own blankets to keep them warm. When they finished eating and washing with hot water, they all went to bed and wrapped them in blankets to keep them warm.

Pauline's quilt is not that thick. It's colder in the mountains. It hasn't snowed so heavily in years, and it's very cold. When she's finished laying the quilt, she has to get her dad's coat for her to cover at night.

After Pauline finished eating, packed herself up, took the oil lamp to the house, and looked at the neatly packed bed, a warm feeling came to her heart.

She tidied up the house again. The quilt was laid out according to her preferences and habits. The folds that should be folded, the circumference that should be wrapped, the rolls that should be rolled up, and her father's coat was also covered directly at her feet, and then the oil lamp was placed. Blow it out and send it back to the kitchen.

When Pauline really shrunk on the bed, she felt a sense of satisfaction.

Her feet were still very warm because they had been soaked in hot water before, and in a short while, her bed was warmed up.

Early the next morning, when the sky was only a little light, Pauline woke up. She was woken up by the cold, not because the bed was not hot, but because her face was too cold. Pauline's first reaction when she woke up was to use The warm hands covered her face, and it was finally a lot better.

At this time, Paulin didn't get up, so she couldn't bear the warm bed. Anyway, it was winter, so I just stayed in the winter. There was nothing to do. The heavy snow covered everything, and I couldn't even go to the mountains to pick up firewood, so I was very leisurely.

According to the usual practice, this winter, I can only eat two meals at most. Of course, there is no one meal. As for three meals, people who are not rich can't afford it at all. Of course, they have to be willing to be family members.

Paulin doesn't know about other people's family, but her family only eats twice, and it's not time yet, she has to stay in bed as much as possible and get up late.

Thinking of this, Paulin put the warm hands of the quilt over her cold face again, and when she felt a little warmer, she quickly closed her eyes and went to sleep.

When the sky was bright, the three members of this family didn't even open the door, and fell asleep in the bed at the same time. That's what happened to her family. Other people in the village, the elderly in the family slept less and couldn't sleep. I felt that the young people were still sleeping at this time. It's lazy, very lazy, very lazy, you can't get used to it, or you have to get used to it, so I knocked on the door one by one.

Of course, their behavior is really irritating in this big winter. However, there is no way, the elderly in the family are always different, they can't express their dissatisfaction without speaking, and they dare not even argue a few words, the elderly in the family can't tolerate it. They are provocative.

Only children of various families can sleep peacefully in such a morning. Of course, some families are limited to boys. For example, in the Li family, the sisters woke up early in the morning to boil water, and their mother Xu Xiuying woke up in the morning. If you don't have hot water to wash your face, it will be a beating to cover your face. If you don't want to be beaten, you can only be conscious. You must wake up earlier than Xu Xiuying, and you must boil the hot water in the house before Xu Xiuying opens the door. This is what they do every day. A curse that insists on getting up in the morning, they can only do it if they don't want to be beaten.

When it was almost noon, Su Hongying couldn't stand it any longer. She had already slept enough, tossing and turning on the bed was really annoying, and she was the first to get up.

As soon as she opened the door, she was shocked by the cold wind outside. If she hadn't gotten dressed, she would have wanted to lie down in the bed again.

Afterwards, Su Hongying closed the door directly. The door should be opened after Wang Jiandang and Bao Lin got up. The snow outside the door was also handed over to them, that's right.

Thinking of this, Su Hongying went back to her room and opened the door connected to the kitchen.

As soon as she went to the kitchen, Su Hongying directly took out a matchbox from the stove, lit a handful of pine needles and started to start the fire, and when the firewood was set up, she went to the big vat at home to scoop up water, but she didn't get it after a few pokes. The thick layer of ice in the water tank pierced open.

I had no choice but to go outside to scoop up the snow and come back to melt and boil the water, as I did a few days ago.

In fact, she already knew that the water tank was frozen, but she was still confused when she woke up in the morning. She habitually took the gourd and scooped into the water tank to dig a few times, and the previous memory came back.

Su Hongying had no choice but to abandon the warm stove, carrying the bucket at home, and the gourd and gourd out of the kitchen door.

You don't have to go far, just by the door, you can just dig anywhere, the snow is very clean.

Now the snow hasn't stopped yet, and the snow fluffy, falling on the palm of the hand, is strangely beautiful.

The gourd was so big that Su Hongying scooped up most of the bucket of snow and shrank back to the kitchen trembling.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, Su Hongying's first reaction was to close the door. Although it was still cold, it was not as cold as the open door.

As soon as the snow was poured in, the hot pot that had been burned before reacted quickly and melted the part of the snow that was directly attached to the pot. However, soon, the pot stopped moving. Energy is consumed.

By the time Pauline got up, her parents were already up and sitting by the stove cooking the fire.

In fact, in addition to the stove, this kitchen has another fire point. It is right next to the stove. The firewood next to it is cleaned and burned directly on the ground. The ground is now burnt black.

After all, there was a hole left on the stove, and it was inconvenient for the family to keep warm. When the fire was on, another fire had to be set up.

After washing her face, Pauline went outside for a walk. It was in her yard. Sure enough, everywhere was snow-white. Other places were covered with thick snow, and only scattered branches were exposed. Come on, that's her chopping wood, and the pile is quite high, at least higher than hers.

From the gaps between the bamboo fences, she saw the bamboo forest not very far from her house. Paulin saw many bamboos that could not stand upright under the heavy snow, and many were crushed and broken. The one hanging on the ground is just like the one who bends over to the ground. The pressure of the heavy snow is simply overwhelming.

The forest next to the small bamboo forest is not much better. Those big trees that are decades old naturally don’t have to worry about them. The roots are deep. die.

But those little trees that are only a few years old have suffered. After this winter, there should be not many people who can survive. It's all about luck!
