Chapter 155 It’s Snowing
The gossip about Wu Laogen and Li Cuihua entertained the entire team, and the clinic became the new gossip gathering place in the team.
This made Ning Xiyue enjoy wandering back and forth in the gossip about Wu Laogen and Li Cuihua.
With the entertainment gossip around, Ning Xiyue's time passed quickly. When the gossip about Wu Laogen's family gradually faded away, she looked out the window.
Hey, it’s snowing.
I don't know when it started snowing outside the window. Large flakes of snow fell, and the buildings were covered with a light layer of white snow.
“It’s really snowing.”
Ning Xiyue put down the book in her hand and ran to the yard excitedly. The snow from the sky was getting heavier and heavier. She stretched out her palms to catch the snow, feeling the coldness of the snow melting in her hands, and her heart was burning with warmth.
Looking at the snow falling from the sky, he muttered happily: "Great, the snow has finally fallen, and the winter is finally about to begin."
Ning Xiyue has been looking forward to the arrival of winter since the weather started to get cold, just like students look forward to the arrival of winter and summer vacations.
She doesn't have to go to work during the winter, and she doesn't have to stay in the clinic all the time. If anyone wants to get medicine, they can just come to the Youth League Home to find her.
"Xiyue, come here quickly. It's cold and snowing, and the sweet potatoes are ready." Li Xiuxiu sat next to the stove, took out two fragrant roasted sweet potatoes and waved to Ning Xiyue.
"Here it comes." Ning Xiyue rubbed her red hands, exhaled, and put her hands by the stove to warm them before eating the warm sweet potatoes: "Mm, this sweet potato is really sweet."
Li Xiuxiu took a bite of the sweet potato and raised her head proudly: "That's right, I have a unique way of picking sweet potatoes. Every year I will pick out the sweet potatoes that are suitable for roasting from the sweet potatoes in the cellar and set them aside. When it snows, roasting them at home is the warmest."
"sharp."
Ning Xiyue gave a thumbs up and praised without hesitation.
The sweet potato in my hand tastes really good, and it is well roasted, not burnt at all, sweet and soft. The most important thing is that eating sweet potatoes on a snowy day is especially warm and delicious.
"Xiyue, Xiuxiu, you are roasting sweet potatoes." Aunt Yang Liu's hearty laughter rang out in the yard.
Ning Xiyue walked to the door and greeted her: "Auntie, come in and warm up."
Then he took a clean feather duster and helped Aunt Yang Liu sweep the snow off her shoulders.
Li Xiuxiu quickly picked up the tongs and took out a cooked sweet potato from the stove, wrapped it in waste newspaper and handed it over: "Aunt, eat sweet potato."
"You young people are really good at it. It smells really good when you roast it." Aunt Yang Liu took the sweet potato and held it without eating it. She looked at them and said, "I'm here to call you to the brigade office to distribute the food and settle the accounts. The barefoot doctor will also be here today. Remember to go there."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie. We'll be there soon."
Ning Xiyue agreed with a smile on her face. The food was about to be distributed. She was still very excited because it meant that she would have another income, three yuan a month in benefits. She had been working for more than two months, so she had some money to earn, but she didn't know how much food she would get.
"Aunt, why is it so early this year?" Li Xiuxiu asked doubtfully.
In previous years, the distribution was done at the end of the year, right before the Chinese New Year, but this year it was done much earlier.
"Everyone is urging us to get food ready, so the team leaders decided to distribute it earlier."
Aunt Yang Liu looked at the snow in the yard with a hint of worry. "The snow came a little late this year, but judging from the situation, I'm afraid it won't stop in a short time. The old man in the team who knows the weather said that it will snow heavily and it will get colder and colder. So we'll just divide the food and let everyone stay at home for the winter."
"I understand." Li Xiuxiu nodded.
Ning Xiyue also understood that this meant that they could take a holiday and enter hibernation mode, and have free time to lie on the kang and do their own things.
Aunt Yang Liu raised the sweet potatoes in her hand and walked out: "The sweet potatoes are taken, you guys pack up and go over, I have something else to do."
"Okay, auntie, take care."
After seeing Aunt Yang Liu off, Ning Xiyue turned around to pack up, put the stove under the eaves, closed the door, put on her hat, and then walked towards the brigade not far away with Li Xiuxiu.
Many people have already arrived at the dam outside the brigade. Everyone has a happy smile on their face. They line up in an orderly manner, waiting to be distributed food.
People from the Youth League Institute have also arrived here.
Liu Yao saw Ning Xiyue coming over, waved her hand and ran over to hold Ning Xiyue's arm: "Xiyue, let's go, let's get in line."
Chen Yechu and other educated youth also came over.
"Okay, let's go, let's get in line quickly. The sooner we get it, the sooner we can go back. It's too cold."
Ning Xiyue put her hands in her pockets, ran over quickly and stood at the back of the line.
When Li Xiuxiu saw her family in the line, she didn't line up. After saying something to Ning Xiyue, she walked towards where her parents were.
While waiting in the queue, Liu Yao shared the news she knew with Ning Xiyue.
"Xiyue, have you heard? We won't be able to rest after the grain is distributed today. The work in the fields is almost done. We will just have to wait until the New Year. There will be work to do when the snow melts in the spring next year. That's when we can start working."
"I just heard it from you." Ning Xiyue said jokingly, "Where did you get this information from?"
"Hey, Ye Chu just asked the captain, and the captain said it, right Ye Chu." Liu Yao smiled naively, touched his head and looked at Chen Ye Chu who was standing in the back.
Chen Yechu nodded affirmatively: "Yes, Yaoyao is right. The captain may say later that we are not going to work anymore, and your clinic should be the same."
Chen Yechu was certain of this. As for when to take a winter holiday this year, she had experienced this in her previous life and knew it very well.
Of course, there is another major event that she still remembers vividly.
Chen Yetu looked up at the snow falling from the sky and said seriously, "Looking at the trend of the snow, we must inspect the houses in the Youth Hostel after we go back, so that they won't be able to withstand the heavy snow."
Ning Xiyue took it seriously and studied the expression on Chen Yechu's face, trying to judge how serious the situation would be if this statement came true.
As the only person who knew Chen Yechu's hidden identity, she knew in her heart that what she said was definitely not just a casual remark, and it was most likely something that happened in her previous life.
"Ye Chu, that makes sense. We have to prepare for a rainy day. We should do it as soon as we get back. Otherwise, what will we do if the snow gets heavy and buries us all under the house? Oh, no, the more you talk about it, the more worried and scared I get."
Ning Xiyue acted out her worries about the future and her genuine fear for Xue Dacheng, while observing Chen Yechu's reaction.
"Now that Xiyue said that, I'm worried too. The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and maybe it will really collapse." Liu Yao's heart also tightened.
After hearing this, the member in front turned around and comforted them: "Don't be afraid, it won't collapse. In previous years when it snowed heavily, no house has collapsed."
Chen Yechu smiled faintly: "You don't have to worry too much, I just thought of this, but it is still necessary to find someone to check it out, so that we can live more at ease."
Ning Xiyue understood that the house of the Youth League Home in her previous life might have collapsed due to the snow.
