Dumb farmer wife busy farming

Chapter 577
Just as everyone in the village was in a hurry to gather firewood and prey at home, heavy snow fell down one after another.

The snowfall this time was not as heavy as last time, but it was much colder.

Every household is really unwilling to go out of the house unless it is absolutely necessary.

Even wearing a thick cotton coat, it still hurts the bones.

This is not a big snow, but it has been lingering for half a month.

Even if there is no shortage of food in the village, the firewood cannot last for so long.

Not every household has a well. Even if you save money, you have to fetch water every other day.

Because it was too cold, the water in the well was frozen. Before fetching water every day, clean big stones had to be smashed in hard to break the ice layer so that the water could come out.

In order to save water, some people simply make a pot of snow to use for washing, washing and washing pots besides eating and drinking water.

In order not to waste firewood, I dare not heat it up, and use it when the snow has turned into water, and people who are cold tremble.

Although Ye Qingqing stayed at home all day long, Ye Damao would occasionally go around the village and saw a lot, so he couldn't help but sigh when he came back .

Ye Qingqing was brought up pampered since she was a child. Even if her family was poor when she was a child, she never experienced such hardship.

For so many years in the village, not to mention the surplus money every year, everyone has enough food and clothing, and life is considered healthy.

But who would have thought that the disaster would come so quickly and be caught off guard.

The time has just entered mid-October, and there is news of people freezing to death.

Although the person who froze to death was not from their Ye family village, such news spread quickly.

When Ye Qingqing knew that someone was freezing to death, she couldn't react for a while.

Only at this moment did she really realize that the snow disaster is not as simple as having food to survive.

Not every household has made new cotton padded clothes as they did during the autumn harvest.

Not every family has enough firewood to survive the snow disaster.

If there is only food, there is no way to light a fire, and there is only waiting to starve to death.

Those who froze to death were a pair of grandparents and grandchildren from Lijia Village next door.

Granny Li's son and daughter-in-law went early, and she took her little grandson to guard the two acres of land alone, and her life was considered passable.

This year's harvest was good, and I was very happy at first. I told my neighbors that after selling the grain, I would send my grandson to school to learn some words.

But who would have thought that before the grain was sold, the strong wind would blow first.

The house of Granny Li's house was repaired in the village, but it survived the first heavy snowfall.

But the old and the young can't carry it on their shoulders or hands.

Naturally, I can't get much firewood or something.

In the middle of the morning, the neighbors noticed that Granny Li hadn't fetched water, so they wanted to visit her house, only to find out that the grandparents and grandchildren had frozen to death on the kang, and their bodies were frozen to death.

When everyone in the village went to see Granny Li's house, they found that everything that could be burned in the grandparent's and grandson's house was burned, and a lot of clothes were burned, and only one quilt was left.

There is still burnt black corn in the earthen stove connected to the kang.

If there is a little way, no one will burn food!
Everyone who saw this scene at Granny Li's house had red eyes.

When Ye Damao spoke, Ye Ying and Ye Qingqing couldn't help crying.

Even Jin Jiu and Ye Ping'an remained silent.

The atmosphere in the room was very gloomy.
