The first snow of winter fell, and Songjiang Brigade was covered in silver, with white everywhere as far as the eye could see.

Su Qingmeng and Lin Xiuyao went up the mountain to see the snow. The snow fell on the pine trees, forming various shapes and forms. Looking out at the village, smoke curled up from the chimneys, a beautiful picture of a snowy countryside.

She had lived in the city before her time travel and hadn't seen the snowy countryside for a long time. The scenery in the 1970s had not been artificially developed and was a masterpiece of nature.

Su Qingmeng immersed herself in the scenery and felt her soul cleansed.

Lin Xiuyao didn't look at the scenery. He had seen this scenery since he was a child and was tired of it. He kept looking at Su Qingmeng.

After admiring the beautiful scenery for a while, Su Qingmeng came back to her senses and noticed his gaze. "Why are you looking at me? Look at the scenery. If only I had a camera so I could take a picture."

Lin Xiuyao agreed. If he had a camera, he would take a picture of her. The scenery was beautiful, and the people were even more beautiful.

"Okay, let's go down the mountain."

There are children catching sparrows at the foot of the mountain.

They spread food on the snow, set up a basket on top of the food, and supported it with a small wooden stick with a rope tied to it. The child waited quietly in the distance, and when a sparrow flew down to eat, he would pull the rope.

Su Qingmeng looked over and saw they had already caught five or six. One of the children saw them and ran over. "Uncle, what were you doing up the mountain? Were you catching rabbits?" Seeing Lin Xiu shake his head, he sighed in disappointment and ran back to catching sparrows.

"Your nephew?" "He's the boy from my third uncle's eldest cousin's family, his nickname is Tiezhu." People give children nicknames so casually these days.

The two watched the children catching sparrows for a while, and then went home because the weather was a bit cold.

Su Qingmeng began her winter life. She would light the kang for half an hour each morning and evening, and the room would be warm. She would stay inside, rarely going out, like a stay-at-home girl.

She wakes up at 6:30 in the morning and listens to the radio on the kang (the kang) for the morning news. She gets up at 7:30, washes, and starts cooking, which takes half an hour.

After dinner at 8 o'clock, I study for an hour, listen to the radio for half an hour, then study for another hour. Then I chat with friends, do needlework, and sometimes play cards to kill time.

He took a nap at noon, then continued studying in the afternoon. He had dinner around 4:00. The days were short in winter, so everyone here had two meals a day. Su Qingmeng followed the local customs.

After dinner and heating the kang, it was only six o'clock when Su Qingmeng locked the door and pretended to sleep. She did yoga on the kang for half an hour, then went into the space to practice calligraphy for another half an hour.

Su Qingmeng made a copybook of calligraphy. At first, it was the original owner's handwriting, but it was gradually changed to become closer to her own style. This provided a basis for people to find that her handwriting had changed a lot later.

From seven to eight o'clock is writing time, and she begins to conceive her first novel.

At 8:30, she took a hot spring bath. This was the decorative building "Warm Maple Spring" she found in the warehouse. It was very comfortable to take a hot spring bath in winter and it could also beautify the skin. She applied a facial mask while bathing. The mask was made of pearl powder produced in a water mill and egg white. After bathing, she went to sleep.

This is her schedule for the day.

Finally, she didn't have to do farm work anymore. She had plenty of time to study, play, and take care of her skin. She could also stay indoors all day without going out. Su Qingmeng felt much more comfortable.

Tian Ke came and knocked on the door, "The team is slaughtering pigs today, do you want to go and watch the fun?" Su Qingmeng was a little bored, so she followed them.

Pigs at that time were not as fat as they are in later generations. When Su Qing dreamed, the pig had already been tied up, and the butcher was sharpening his knife. After the knife was sharpened, seven or eight people held the pig together to prevent it from struggling. The butcher's white knife went in, and the red knife came out, and blood came out. The wound was facing a bucket, and the pig's blood flowed into it.

The hot water was ready, the villagers poured it on the pigs, and the butcher began to scrape the pigs' hair.

After shaving the pig hair, he began to show off his skills. With a few cuts, he cut the whole pig into small pieces, meat was meat, bones were bones, and internal organs were internal organs. The masters are among the common people.

Almost all the villagers had arrived and were lining up to receive their pork. Those with thicker flesh got to choose first, with everyone prioritizing the fat.

When it was Su Qingmeng's turn, only lean meat and ribs were left. She was very happy because these were much more expensive than fatty meat in modern times. She asked for two kilograms of ribs.

After receiving the meat, they walked back happily. A young man came over and stopped Tian Ke, handing her the meat. "Tian Zhiqing, you've lost weight from the autumn harvest. Take this meat to replenish your body."

Tian Ke didn't answer, "Student Lin, we are not related at all. I can't take your things. Please take them home."

The young man hesitated, and when Tian Ke didn't take any, he turned away disappointed. His mother wasn't right either; Tian Zhiqing didn't even want the meat.

Su Qingmeng asked, "Who is this person?"

Tian Ke said, "Lin Zhongbai, I was washing clothes before and they fell into the river and floated away. He helped me to fish them out. The water was quite cold and his clothes got soaked. I couldn't let him help for nothing and still get sick, so I went to his house and gave him two pills."

At this point, she sighed, "After that, he would hang around in front of me from time to time. I rejected him several times. I asked him to stay away from me, and he always agreed. He would come again after a few days, and next time I would go to find the team leader." Some aunts she knew well had already asked her if she was dating Lin Zhongbai.

Zhou Wenxi frowned. "Then you should go. Rumors spread quickly in the countryside. If everyone in the village thinks you're dating, it will be too late. A girl's reputation is very important."

She said, "There was a female educated youth who was harassed by the villagers. She couldn't stand the gossip and got married. You probably don't know her. She was Su Xiaoyu. She married Zheng Dagen. Her family likes to beat their daughters-in-law. Maybe Lin Zhongbai wants to follow suit."

Tian Ke's face turned pale. She hadn't thought about it so much. "Why don't we go find the captain now?"

The two of them accompanied her back to the brigade. Tian Ke told the brigade leader about the situation. The brigade leader said seriously, "I'll go tell him to stop bothering you." Tian Ke was grateful and said, "Thank you for your help, captain."

After that, Lin Zhongbai did not come to harass Tian Ke. When they talked about this incident, they were very glad that they met a reasonable team leader. They heard that the leaders of the neighboring team were all siding with the villagers and helping their relatives instead of the villagers.
