Dumb farmer wife busy farming

Chapter 576
After Ye Pingan sent the food box back, when he came back, he was holding a chessboard in his hand.

It was snowing heavily in winter, and he was just able to play chess with Jin Jiuxue.

The three of them talked, laughed and played chess, and the time passed quickly.

Until it was getting dark, the snow outside did not lighten. Ye Ping'an and Jin Jiu had to go out from time to time to shovel the snow on both sides of the path, otherwise it would be difficult to walk.

Ye Ying and Ye Damao came to eat dinner together with a food box. During the meal, Ye Ying and Ye Damao both frowned and sighed again and again.

They have never seen such heavy snow in their lives for decades, and they are restless all day today.

In fact, not only because of too much snow, but also because of an old saying: After heavy snow, there must be severe drought.

This year's snow came so early, so fast, so hard, there is no guarantee that there will be no severe drought in the coming year.

It's just useless to worry about things, after all, God won't listen to them.

The heavy snow fell for three consecutive days before it gradually stopped.

After stopping, each household immediately began to sweep the snow.

Push all the snow off the roof first, and then push the snow in the yard out of the house, or into the fields, or into the river ditches little by little.

The three days of heavy snow did not fall in vain. The snow that almost covered the calf of an adult made the people who watched it dumbfounded.

It took several days to clear away all the snow in the yard on the roof.

Although the sun occasionally came out for a while these days, the sun seemed to be playing hide and seek with everyone, hiding behind the clouds every time it came out for a short while.

Even if it appeared for a little longer, I couldn't feel the slightest warmth.

Although the outside of the house has not reached the point where the breath turns into ice, if a basin of water is poured out, it will freeze into ice cubes in a moment.

The river in front of Ye Qingqing's house had long been covered with a thick layer of ice, let alone people, even carriages could walk on it, so there was no need to worry about falling.

Some daring children watched the snow stop, so they frolicked on the ice and played ice skating.

The place where they lived was far away from the village, and it was usually relatively quiet. Since these children came to play, they could often hear the children laughing and playing.

Not all the children only know how to play. The older children know that after so many days of heavy snowfall, there is not much firewood at home, so they will go to the bottom of Cangshan Mountain together to collect firewood.

It has to be said that the snow on the ground still has a certain effect. At least the children tied together a few thick branches and dropped the firewood on them, so they could be pulled away directly, saving time and effort.

Except for Ye Qingqing, Ye Damao, Ye Ying, Ye Ping'an and Jin Jiu, the four also left early and returned late every day.

Taking advantage of the fact that it's not snowing now, hurry up and run up the mountain a few more times, don't say don't fight, at least get back some more firewood.

Even though there is still a lot of firewood at home, this thing consumes a lot, so the more you have in reserve, the better.

When the few people came back every day, it was almost dark, and they brought back not only firewood, but also some pheasant robes and so on.

It is also cold in winter. After cleaning these things, hang them directly under the veranda, and they will be frozen hard in a short time.

When you want to eat and when you take it to the house to thaw, it can be stored for a long time, and it is much more convenient to eat.
