Chapter 62 Snow 2
By the time we dragged the wild boar home, the weather was already gloomy and dark, very depressing, and completely different from the noontime of the past.
Grandma Ning went to the kitchen first, then put the firewood away, looking for an opportunity to fill the kitchen with firewood. Thinking that there were several bags of flour, corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes in the basement, Grandma Ning thought that it would be enough for the few of them to eat until next year.
Grandma Ning was very worried about her eldest son and daughter-in-law who were living outside, and she was also worried about her second son and little daughter who were living in town.
I'm particularly worried about my eldest son, who I haven't heard from since the natural disaster two years ago. He left with the water conservancy workers and left behind a bag of food to tide the family over.
Grandma Ning checked the roof again. She had someone reinforce the roof two days ago, and she checked it every day in the past two days.
It was almost invisible. Grandma Ning lit a kerosene lamp to cook and feed the little ones. Then she seriously told Ning Lao Da, Ning Xiao Er, and Ning Xiao San to be more alert when they went to bed at night.
These past few days, Grandma Ning would give me these reminders every night before going to bed, but today she repeated them over and over again.
Ning Xiaoer felt that he had memorized it all, so when Grandma Ning was not around, he would vividly repeat Grandma Ning's tone and expression.
Although it was dark now, it should be noon and still early for bedtime. Unable to sleep, Boss Ning wanted to find his sister to tell a story.
This time Ningjing summoned Pork, who fell into a deep sleep after dinner.
Grandma Ning lit the kerosene lamp and checked the kitchen again. Well, there were five bags of wheat, about 500 kilograms, and 50 kilograms of ground flour, as well as 400 kilograms of corn and ground cornmeal, corn kernels for making porridge, and about 600 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
There are just a few cabbages and pickles, and I bought two kilograms of salt, which is enough for the short term. I don’t have much lard left, but there is a wild boar outside. Although it is not fat, it can still produce a lot of oil.
The firewood is also piled high, enough to last until next year under normal circumstances...
The next day, Grandma Ning was the first to wake up. Outside was a world of silver and white. When she opened the door, she saw that the snow was quite thick, a full fifty centimeters, almost exceeding the threshold.
Grandma Ning took out the iron tools and shoveled the snow on both sides.
First shovel out an aisle, then go up to the roof to shovel the snow.
Suddenly, Grandma Ning looked up and saw someone sitting in front of the fence gate, but the person was covered in snow.
Grandma Ning walked slowly to the gate, only to find that it was the Li siblings. She quickly patted Li Dachuan:
"Wake up! Dachuanzi, wake up!"
"Little sister, wake up."
Finally Li Dachuan woke up.
He said a little confusedly: "Grandma Ning, I..."
Grandma Ning helped Li Dachuan up and said quickly, "Okay, don't talk for now. Take my little sister and grandma into the house."
Grandma Ning asked them to stay in the kitchen, then lit the stove and let the two little ones warm themselves up.
Then boil water to make ginger soup.
While cooking, Grandma Ning asked, "Dachuanzi, when did you come?"
Before Li Dachuan could say thank you, Li Xiaomei came back to her senses and said, "Grandma Ning, we came a long time ago. The house collapsed under the weight of the snow."
As the little sister spoke, she cried. Grandma Ning hugged Li Xiaomei and comforted her: "Okay, don't cry, grandma is here."
Soon the three brothers of the Ning family also got up and were stunned to see the snow outside. They had never seen such heavy snow before.
Grandma had already cleared a path. I went to the kitchen to see her first, and then took my brother to the roof to sweep the snow...
