Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 550 Hot Spring

Had lunch.

The snow is still falling overwhelmingly, with no sign of stopping.

It snowed suddenly. I wonder if the village was prepared.

Especially those elderly people who are alone and have no one to take care of them at home. If they fall in such a heavy snow, they will have to deal with it every day.

The worried Li Hongbing put on his raincoat and planned to go around the village and say hello to Shan Xing. Ouyang Hua was fine and followed suit.

Wait for the two of them to walk out of the door.

The snow on the ground has accumulated up to my shins, and the snow is still falling in the sky, just like a snow nest.

Come to the village.

Snowflakes continue to accumulate, covering trees, houses and streets with a thick layer of snow.

Children were running around in the streets and alleys, villagers shoveled snow with shovels, and even the home-loving guests in the courtyard of the B&B came out one after another to enjoy the relaxing feeling of snowflakes falling on them.

"Brother Hongbing, you're here!" Jianjun, Chunsheng, Fang Wanda and Dakui walked out of the village alley carrying shovels and tools.

Li Hongbing asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"We just came out of the shaved uncle's house and helped him repair the exhaust pipe of the wood stove. The broken pipe is full of holes. It would be a big problem if the coal was burning and the smoke was exposed. We are not planning to go to the next house." Chun Shengfu. He grabbed a handful of snow and scrubbed the black dust off his hands.

"Then you really need to pay attention. Let's go. I'll go around with you. It's best to go through every household to remind you to burn fire and carbon and pay attention to safety!" Li Hongbing agreed with Chunsheng's words.

A group of people went door to door to check.

It doesn't matter on weekdays, the windows are open, no matter how you burn it, no one will be killed, but if it's snowing, the house is sealed like a cellar, and the fire is still burning in the house. The asphyxiating gas carbon monoxide produced by the combustion is colorless and odorless. It is difficult to detect that when air circulation is poor, carbon monoxide concentration continues to increase.

After carbon monoxide poisoning, a person will become comatose and will not suffer any other pain. Death will occur during sleep or coma.

Deaths due to fires occur every winter in forest areas.

As soon as he arrived at Widow Liu's house, Li Hongbing discovered that the chimney of the stove was not up to standard and a water pipe was used as the chimney. How could such a thin pipe be able to exhaust smoke.

On the spot, Li Hong kicked the stove over angrily, dismantled the pipes and the stove and threw them into the rice field.

Just a few slaps to Widow Liu.

For the sake of convenience, use water pipes instead of patting the chimney. Don't drag Ernizi into it at your own risk. In a few days, Ernizi will get married, and Ernizi is still pregnant with the child.

After leaving Widow Liu's house, Li Hongbing felt scared.

"We will go back to the village committee to hold a small meeting later. We will organize a special inspection team to visit each house regularly every day. Our village has made money today. I just saw many families buying coal. We must be safe."

"Jianjun, go back first and use the radio to notify each household to check the flue carefully. There must be ventilation windows in the house to maintain air circulation. If any household is found not to listen, next year's family dividend will be cancelled."

"Yes!" Jianjun nodded, thinking back on what he had just seen, he couldn't help but feel lucky for his brother Xiucai, who was fortunate enough to have discovered it in time.

After making arrangements, Li Hongbing thought for a moment and looked at Chunsheng.

"Go to Uncle Yantai's blacksmith shop and ask him to use iron sheets to build more chimneys. The village committee will pay for them."

Chunsheng nodded, turned around and ran into the wind and snow.

"Let's go to the next house." Li Hongbing was in a bad mood now, and his tone was not so polite. The others knew the reason and checked in a relaxed and happy manner, and the atmosphere became serious.

After visiting every household in the village.

There is no longer any smile on everyone's face.

The problem is serious.

At least half of the 40 households have problems in their homes, either because of irregular heating or because the houses are in disrepair and there are serious safety hazards on the roofs.

Village committee.

Li Hongbing summoned all the village cadres and squad leaders together.

According to the problems discovered during the inspection, they are assigned to individuals. If the heating irregularities are rectified and there are no problems, they can be heated. If it is cold, it will be cold. At least no one will die.

If the house is in danger, manpower is arranged to repair it. If it cannot be repaired and moved, the dormitory building on the east side of the village has been completed anyway, and there are more rooms for people to live in.

After everything was taken care of, it was night in a blink of an eye.

The heavy snow finally subsided.

Li Hongbing and Ouyang Hua were walking on the way back to their old home.

The snow had reached my calves at noon, and now it has accumulated to my knees.

The two walked back to the old house step by step through the snow, leaving neat rows of footprints that were particularly clear on the snow.

The dim lights at the courtyard entrance and the falling snowflakes set off each other, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

"Old Ou, you go back to the house first, and I'll go to the livestock shed to have a look." Li Hongbing turned to look in the direction of the meadow. He was afraid that the livestock shed wouldn't be able to bear such heavy snow.

"Okay, call me if you need anything!"

After walking all afternoon in the heavy snow, Ouyang Hua was very cold. He felt like his whole body was frozen. Standing at the door of the yard, he missed the warm heat in the house more and more.

Li Hongbing nodded, turned and walked towards the meadow.

The original green grass and leaves were buried in the snow and lost their former vitality and vitality, but they gained a sense of mystery and tranquility.

Coming to the barn, it was just as I thought.

When we first built the barn, we just built a simple frame and a layer of grass on the roof to protect it from wind and rain but not snow.

Fortunately, only the pig shed and cow shed were collapsed by the snow, and the other sheds could barely hold on.

The pigs and cows were crowded in the stable and nestled together with the horses. Heifeng was not afraid of the cold. When he saw Li Hongbing appear, he jumped happily in the snow.

"Be careful not to catch a cold. Ask Xing'er's mother to make you some clothes later. I'll repair the shed first!"

A biological son will always receive special attention.

After Li Hongbing lovingly trained Hei Feng, he picked up the bamboo rake and began to repair the livestock shed.

First clear the snow from the roof of the stable that has not collapsed, and then use spare wooden poles to strengthen the roof to prevent snow at night.

Next, deal with the two collapsed roofs, clear out the snow, then use spare wooden poles to reinforce the roofs, and lay a new layer of grass.

Fortunately, a lot of haystacks were harvested in advance in the fall, and bundles of haystacks were moved into the barn to keep the animals warm.

"Red Soldier, are you done?" Ouyang Hua's voice came from the grassy slope.

"It's done!" Li Hongbing responded loudly, put down his sleeves and walked towards the grass slope.

In Ouyang Hua's eyes, Li Hongbing walked over slowly with white smoke all over his body, looking like a fairy in the movie.

"Red Soldier, you're not cold!"

cold?
It's really not cold.

Since becoming a druid, my body has also changed. I am no longer afraid of heat in summer and cold in winter.

Naturally, Li Hongbing would not reveal his true identity, grinning his big white teeth and mockingly.

"If you have nothing to do, work more and move more. Your health will definitely be better. It's called a cold day, you weakling!"

Who are you fooling!

I'm usually as lazy as a donkey. I've never seen you do more work.

Ouyang Hua complained silently in his heart.

back home.

Shan Xing took a towel and thoughtfully swept the snow off Li Hongbing's body, complaining distressedly, "Why don't you find someone to work with? It's so cold to work alone." "It's not cold at all. If it doesn't work, touch your hands and they'll be hot!" Li Hongbing He smiled and held Shan Xing's hand.

"The children are all here." Shan Xing rolled his eyes and took out his hand, "Hurry up and eat, the pot is hot."

Li Hongbing chuckled, looking at the family, and suddenly thought of something.

"When I finish eating, I'll go soak in the hot spring. The pool has been covered and hasn't been used yet!"

"Has the hot spring pool been built?" Ouyang Hua's eyes shone, knowing that because of the hot spring pool construction a few days ago, there were landslides and ground cracks, and the Li family's old house was almost demolished.

"It's covered, Xing'er, you go wash some fruits, cut some marinated meat, and heat a pot of rice wine." Li Hongbing remembered that on the day he went to Shilipu to express his condolences to Uncle Mazi, Sun Qiang called him and said that there was no problem with the waterproofing of the hot spring pool, so he could do whatever he wanted. use.

"I told you earlier, I didn't bring a swimsuit." Sister-in-law Wang Qian regretted it. It was so romantic to be able to soak in a hot spring on a snowy day.

Li Hongbing smiled and said, "I bought several pieces for Xing'er, so I went to pick one to wear."

Swimsuit?

Shan Xing expressed confusion.

I have long coats, short coats, cotton coats, and military coats at home, but no swimsuits.

What are swimsuits used for?

Seeing this, Li Hongbing walked up to Shan Xing and whispered in his ear. In an instant, Shan Xing's face turned red, his beautiful eyes glared at someone, and he hurriedly pulled Wang Qian's sister-in-law away quickly.

Under Ouyang Hua's urging, Li Hongbing ate dinner in a hurry.

The two walked through the newly built side door and came to the hot spring pool.

The top of the outer glass curtain of the hot spring pool is covered with a thick layer of snow. Sun Qiang's construction quality is still guaranteed, and there is no pressure on the snow at this intensity.

The construction team cleaned the hot spring pool before leaving the site, but it was ventilated from all sides. In the past few days, a lot of dust and leaves had fallen to the bottom of the pool.

But it's not a big problem.

Li Hongbing opened the valve, and hot spring water poured out from the hidden water outlet built into the wall, washing the bottom of the pool.

After a while, the pool was filled with steaming hot spring water, and a thin layer of mist filled the water.

This is the water for washing the pool, not yet for soaking.

Li Hongbing opened the water outlet gate, drained the water from the pool, and filled the pool again. He repeated this three times.

The hot spring water is crystal clear, with a hint of steam rising. The cold air meets the hot air, and the mist rolling and swaying on the water forms a sharp contrast, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

"Brother-in-law, you are so awesome!" Ouyang Hua's eyes widened. Who would have thought that such a beautiful hot spring pool could be built in a large ravine with no place for people to live in.

In front of you is a mist-shrouded hot spring, next to it is a silver-covered meadow. In the distance, the snow-capped mountains look solemn and majestic in the night. The snow on the top of the mountain glows with silver under the moonlight.

To be fair, I have seen a lot of wealthy people over the years I have been doing business.

Private villas, luxurious hot springs, luxury cars and beautiful women, I have never seen anything like this before, except that I don't have the feeling today that I can forget all my worries and fatigue and immerse myself in the embrace of nature.

"Brother-in-law, get in the water!" Ouyang Hua couldn't wait to jump into the pool and enjoy the warmth of the hot spring water.

Li Hongbing replied angrily, "Never mind, just wear your underpants and go into the water. Shan Xing will bring you the swimming trunks later."

It didn't take long.

Children's laughter sounded like silver bells from the side door, and then Anna and Nanny ran over in big cotton-padded jackets. The moment they saw the hot spring pool, their eyes widened, looking at the steaming, smoky pool. , can't wait to jump into the warm water.

"Wait a minute, I haven't taken off my clothes yet!" Li Hongbing quickly reminded.

Anna stopped and, like a monkey, took off her thick floral cotton jacket and floral trousers, threw them into the snow, put on a small swimsuit, and jumped into the pool.

Wow!

The water splashed everywhere, and the mist dispersed in panic because of the appearance of this little troublemaker.

"It's so warm, sister Nannan, come down and play!" Anna splashed in the pool.

Nannan's eyes were full of anticipation, she quickly took off her down jacket and got into the water.

The two children played happily in the hot spring pool, their little feet fluttering in the water, water splashed everywhere, and their crisp laughter echoed in the air.

Followed by.

Shan Xing and sister-in-law Wang Qian slowly appeared carrying baskets and thin quilts, which made Ouyang Hua very anxious.

"Daughter-in-law, have you brought your swimming trunks?"

"Here you go, go farther and change. There are children here." Sister-in-law Wang Qian threw out two packages of unopened swimming trunks.

"Brother-in-law, go change clothes!" After getting the swimming trunks, Ouyang Huana screamed happily, called to Li Hongbing, turned around and ran into the orchard not far away.

Despite his age, he is still frizzy.

Li Hongbing shook his head and followed.

When Ouyang Hua was wearing swimming trunks, as if the soles of his feet were on fire, he shouted coldly and jumped heavily into the hot spring pool.

The warm spring water wraps around the whole body, and it feels so comfortable.

It was Shan Xing's first time soaking in a hot spring. Her originally delicate and beautiful face became a little more gorgeous under the moisture of the hot spring water. She leaned against her sister-in-law Wang Qian and whispered something.

"Comfort is what life calls." Ouyang Hua lay down by the pool, picked up a glass of honey water buried in the snow, and took a big sip.

Li Hongbing appeared in swimming trunks.

Without any clothes to cover him, his perfect figure was displayed in front of everyone.

Well-proportioned, without overly strong muscles, but with smooth lines. Every curve seems to have been carefully carved, showing an elegant sense of strength.

Even the well-informed sister-in-law Wang Qian looked directly at Li Hongbing, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

"Red Soldier, I didn't notice. You have a really good figure. It's no worse than those who train professionally. How did you do it?"

When Ouyang Hua heard his wife praising other men in front of him, Ouyang Hua became angry and stood up from the water.

The water brought up on the body turned over the beer belly, and it was difficult to move forward among the layers of fat.

Recently, I have become a bit fat and fat.

Looking at Li Hongbing's handsome body, the anger in Ouyang Hua's heart evaporated and he muttered.

"What's the use of having a good figure? I'm the one who can earn it if I'm a two-faced guy."

Ouyang Hua originally said that he could make money, but immediately stopped.

When it comes to making money, he is really no match for Li Hongbing. Oak Tree Company is a cornucopia, providing a steady stream of cash flow. As long as he wants to, he can come up with a small goal at any time.

Compared with the Gu family, they would rather stay in the mountains and spend time with their wives and children.

When it comes to ability, apart from having a father who is a big boss in Northern Province, he seems to be inferior in everything.

Mudd!

You can watch it if you want, we are all a family, and you won’t lose a piece of meat by watching it.

I don’t care anymore.

After thinking about it, Ouyang Hua angrily dove into the pool.

Out of sight out of mind!
