Chapter 366

The whole brigade worked together to clear the snow. Fortunately, the heavy snow that had fallen for an afternoon and a night finally stopped.

In the morning, Chen Qingyi was woken up by the urge to pee. She reluctantly got up from the kang while peeing.

I looked at the time and it was only six o'clock.

He even wailed out loud. God knows how miserable the winter in Northeast China is for people who love to sleep.

The sky is always gray, as if it will snow at any time. Once the curtains are drawn, no matter how loud the north wind blows outside, as long as there is a warm kang, sleeping will be sweet.

But she just wanted to pee, and it wasn't late at night, so it was a bit embarrassing to pee in a urinal.

I resigned myself to my fate and put on my cotton coat and trousers.

I took the urine bucket and prepared to empty it outside, but then I pushed it, and it started to leak.

The snow was falling so heavily that the door was blocked. How could she get out? Even if she was very strong, she couldn't push it open!

"What's wrong?" Hearing the sound from the kitchen, Chu Xun put on his clothes and came out.

"Chu Xun, the door is blocked by snow. It was fine when I came back yesterday, but now I can't get out!"

Chen Qingyi spoke in a strange voice.

Chu Xun reached out and pushed.

"It must have snowed hard and fast last night after we fell asleep, otherwise we wouldn't be able to block it."

He swept the snow in front of the door before going to bed last night!

"It should be. I haven't seen such heavy snow in years. Luckily, my house is new. If it were an old house, I don't know if the roof would collapse."

Speaking of this, Chen Qingyi suddenly became a little worried about Zhao Xiangju's family who lived in the west end of the village.

The house was quite old.

I don’t know if it can withstand it.

There is also Old Zhai and the little old man. I don’t know if they are okay.

Something was on his mind, and his tone became anxious, "Chu Xun, can you push it?

If you can’t push me, I’ll jump out the window.”

In winter, we use an extra kind of paper to paste the window seams again. At that time, plastic sheets are not available, so we have to paste another layer to make the windows draft-proof.

It is sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, where they call it window paper.

The paper is very thick and scratchy, with hemp, reeds and hemp inside. This kind of paper is stronger than linoleum paper.

Generally, it cannot be broken by rain or blown away by wind.

If Chen Qingyi jumped out of the window, she would have to cut through this layer of paper. You can imagine the scene of wind blowing in without this layer of paper.

Zhao Xiangmei, who heard the noise, also hurried down to the ground and said, "Jump out the window, jump from my room.

If it's too cold, I'll stay in your room and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some paste."

Then he called out to Chen Qingfeng loudly. Chen Qingfeng had very good sleep quality and could not be woken up unless he was called out loudly.

Zhao Xiangmei pulled firewood out of the pot hole and said:

"I'll boil some hot water for you to wash your faces, and when you go out later, take a shovel with you.

Push the snow while walking, and wear high-waisted shoes to avoid swelling.

Xiaoyi, go to Doctor Zhai's house, and Chuxun, go to the educated youth camp to see your brother..."

Then he spoke to the sleepy Chen Qingfeng.

"Go to your aunt's house."

Chen Qingyi and Chu Xun used a knife to cut the window gap. The paper was pasted on the outside, so it was not easy to do.

"Mom, let my third brother go to my grandma's house first. We can't get out, and my grandpa and the others are in trouble too.

Help them out first. I'll ask Fubao to go to my aunt's house to see if she's alright."

Zhao Xiangmei: "That's fine too. Let Fubao go to your grandmother's house again, and also to your aunt Chunmiao's house."

"Okay!" Chen Qingyi pushed the window open with force, and a gust of cold wind rushed in.

He stuck his head out and looked, and cried out, "It's raining so hard, my God, no wonder I can't open the door.

The snow is more than one meter deep, right?

Fortunately, Qu Wei went inside the fence, otherwise I would only be able to see his eyeballs when he walked outside."

A smile flashed in Chu Xun's eyes. His little girl has always been so lively.

Zhao Xiangmei tried her luck and rolled her eyes at her. "You're just insulting me. No matter how short Qu Wei is, can he be this short?"

She stuck her head out to take a look and saw that the snow had buried most of the door of her house.

It looked to be about 1.23 meters deep, so it was quite thick. I also sighed:

"I haven't seen such heavy snow in many years."

They quickly washed their faces, found their thickest clothes and shoes and put them on. Chu Xun jumped down first, using a shovel to clear out a small area.

Then Chen Qingfeng and Chen Qingyi also jumped out and closed the window.

In just a moment, the room was already freezing cold.

Chen Qingyi: "Fubao, go! Go to Grandpa Zhai's place too."

Fubao was very fast. Just as the three of them had cleared the door to their house, it came back.

"It's okay, their houses are all fine, but your aunt didn't dare to sleep last night.

The snow was being cleared continuously.

Aunt Chunmiao jumped out of the window.

It was Old Zhai who asked you to rescue him first through the window, because his old arms and legs couldn't get out.

He's afraid he'll have to make a house call soon."

Chen Qingyi frowned and sighed, "I want to be quick, but my strength doesn't allow it.

The snow is too heavy.”

Oh my God, I can’t clear the way for this. I’m crying. I’m afraid my arm will be broken after clearing it.

"Fubao, go take a walk around the brigade, if anything happens to anyone's family.

You should go to the captain's house and inform him immediately, okay?"

"I know, I'm very smart!"

Fubao patted his chest and promised, then immediately flew to the house with the most dilapidated house.

The four of them worked hard at home and soon released Lao Zhao's family.

The snow-clearing army is growing stronger and stronger.

Mr. Zhao slapped his thigh and said, "Oh my god, there's so much snow!"

"I'll take out my cotton coat and trousers and pound them on the ground. I have a piece of leather at home, so I'll rub it with that too."

In the winter in Northeast China, in addition to having a natural refrigerator, snow-washing leather is also a great wonder.

There are no related stores at this time, and the fur is difficult to wash.

Every winter when it snows heavily, I take it out and rub it repeatedly in the snow. It not only cleans the leather but also does not damage it.

Not all snow can be washed away.

The first snow that fell was small particles, not only dirty but also sticky.

This kind of thing won’t work.

The snow now is just right, soft and fluffy, white, and consists of large flakes.

Old Mrs. Zhao came into the house carrying firewood:

"I'll cook first, and the four of you can all eat here. You can work after you're full."

Except Zhao Xiangmei, Chen Qingfeng, Chu Heng and Wang Shuhui.

Others didn't know about the relationship between Chu Xun and Chen Qingyi. Old Mrs. Zhao had even talked to Zhao Xiangmei before, asking her why Chu Xun was so persistent.

Zhao Xiangmei didn't know what she said, and Old Lady Zhao never asked again.

On the other side is the Feng family.

Feng Changxi was woken up by the cold. He didn't push the door open, but climbed out through the window.

Just as he came out, still buried in the snow up to his waist, he saw Fubao flying towards him covered in flashy feathers.

When I saw him, I shouted, “Hey, Captain, it’s great that you didn’t get into bed!

I'm telling you, one side of Old Wang's house at the east end of the village collapsed, and a corner of the cowshed has collapsed, too!"

Feng Changxi screamed, "What?"

"Are the people and the cows all right?"

Fubao: "The cow is fine, but I can't say for sure about the people. I knocked on the window for a long time, but no one answered me!"

Feng Changxi was so anxious that he wanted to stamp his feet, "It's bad, it's bad."

Well, I can’t stomp it.

: I forgot how old I was when I was a child. I went to visit a relative’s house. His house was a bungalow, and it snowed heavily that year.

It's coming down very quickly.

I have to sweep it every five or six minutes, otherwise I won’t be able to open the door.

It was so long ago that I don't remember clearly, but I just cleared a narrow path. I don't know if the snow on both sides was piled up or just that thick, but it was about one and a half meters.
