Upon hearing this, Shen Mu Ning smiled.

"Uncle Gu, what I mean is that the whole country is about to change drastically."

The meaningful smile and ambiguous words completely baffled Gu Chengde.

However, upon realizing Shen Mu Ning's identity, Gu Chengde quickly understood.

"Yes, the weather is going to change in winter. It looks like there will be a lot of snow this year."

I'll organize some people to inspect all the houses in the brigade shortly, just in case we miss any.

"That would be perfect!"

The old man and the young man smiled at each other, leaving Li Guihua completely bewildered.

After finishing her water, Shen Mu Ning pushed the brown sugar and fabric she had brought in front of Gu Cheng De.

Uncle Gu, thank you for allowing me to take leave to visit relatives. These are gifts to express my gratitude.

Gu Chengde accepted the gift without hesitation.

This also means that he will do his job seriously and prevent the brigade's public property from being damaged.

The next day, large snowflakes, as big as goose feathers, fell heavily into Xinshan Brigade.

The snow that had fallen to the ground was still showing signs of melting, but there was already some snow on the rooftops and treetops.

Snowflakes falling on it will only continue to pile up, until they are swept off the roof or crushed by the weight of the treetops.

The captain, however, cited concerns that the heavy snow might collapse the roof.

Organize the people in the brigade who know how to replace beams and pick up tiles, and go door-to-door to inspect them.

If there were any problems, a few able-bodied men from that family would stay behind to resolve them.

No problem, let's go.

They checked every household, and even the educated youth settlements.

The captain led his men to their final destination—the cowshed.

Someone asked in confusion, "Uncle, what's there to inspect about the cowshed? We checked it last year, and it's very sturdy!"

Gu Chengde said calmly, "Alright, the cattle are our brigade's most valuable asset. Take another look and see if there are any problems."

"By the way, check on the side where they live too, in case it collapses and affects the cattle."
