Su Qingluan thought back to last night's snow, which was only above the ankles, and thought that she still had no idea what real "heavy snow" was like.
In the city where I lived in my previous life, even if there was a blizzard on the first day, as soon as the snow stopped or even the amount of snow decreased, there would immediately be snowplows to quickly clear the ice and snow from the main roads.
Even on relatively remote paths, sanitation workers work tirelessly day and night to clear snow. Therefore, by the next morning, at least the main roads are almost completely cleared. This "heavy snow blocking the road" situation is even less likely to occur if the property management of the residential complex organizes snow clearing.
So now, instead of worrying about how to "save" the door from the thick snow, Su Qingluan was more filled with a sense of freshness and curiosity, like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden - the evidence was that the first thing she thought of was not to clear the snow, but to change into cotton clothes and winter shoes, and then jumped off the windowsill, burying herself in the snow.
The posture was a bit like that of a Husky destroying the house.
While swimming in the snow, Su Qingluan heard her father's voice beside her: "Daya, what are you doing?"
"Girl, why are you playing here instead of clearing the snow when you're up?" The last part was said by Yang, who was obviously teasing. However, judging from her tone, she didn't mean to blame Su Qingluan. Instead, she thought her daughter playing around like this was quite amusing.
This time, Su Qingluan was embarrassed. Although she was indeed the daughter of Yang and Su Guangfu in terms of blood relationship, and she could act like a spoiled brat in front of her parents, only she knew that her mental age was not much different from the two people in front of her.
Being caught playing like this in the snow, Su Qingluan, who has a bit of a sense of responsibility, would still feel a little embarrassed.
She quickly stood up and patted the snow foam on her body: "Father, Mother, are you all up?"
Yang raised the large broom in her hand and pointed at the long-handled dustpan in Su Guangfu's hand. "It snowed last night, so I knew I had to get up early to sweep the snow today. Otherwise, the snow will get thicker and thicker, and I won't be able to open the windows, let alone go out."
Su Qingluan was surprised: "How could the snow fall so heavily?"
Yang smiled and shook her head. "It's no wonder you don't remember the past. In previous years, this village often had houses buried in the snow, and the villagers would work together to dig them out."
After hearing this, Su Qingluan felt a little scared, but more of a curiosity - most importantly, as a child who grew up in a modern city, even though she was from the north, she had never seen the kind of heavy snow that Yang described.
Su Qingluan remembered the last experience of clearing snow. It was when she was in school. The playground was covered with snow, and the senior students cleared the snow under the organization of the teacher. Usually, it ended up turning into a snowball fight among the students.
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan ran over, took the tools at hand and started sweeping the snow.
Considering that her younger brother and sister were so short, even Su Qingluan would have found it very difficult to walk in this level of snow. She had to insert her front leg into the snow and then pull her back leg out.
If my younger brother and sister fell into the snow, they would probably have no choice but to swim on the spot.
It's a pity that the two little guys haven't mastered the advanced skill of swimming yet. So for their safety, even though they both seem to want to go out and play in the snow, they were rejected by their father and mother in unison.
Yang looked at Su Qingluan and exclaimed in surprise, "I originally thought Daya couldn't sweep snow, but now I didn't expect she's actually quite skilled at it."
Su Qingluan naturally couldn't say that she was "experienced in snow clearing" and could only vaguely say, "I saw my father and mother busy for a long time just now. Anyone who is not a fool can do it."
Snow removal was no easy task. Su Qingluan remembered that a class of 30 or 40 students would be responsible for a small playground, and it would take them almost half an hour to finish clearing the snow. Now, she felt the effects of this "inefficient labor" once again.
It was obvious that the family of three had worked hard enough to clear the snow, but from dawn to bright daylight, they had only cleared the snow near the door, barely enough to prevent it from affecting the opening and closing of the door - as for other places, it was still white.
There was still half a pot of fish soup left from yesterday. Su Qingluan and Yang discussed it and decided to add some salt and water as the soup base and make some hand-rolled noodles.
Moreover, the cabbage and frozen tofu left in the fish soup yesterday had been soaked overnight, making it more flavorful, and the taste did not become bland at all just because of the addition of more salt and water.
After breakfast, the sun climbed higher and higher. Perhaps the heavy snowfall overnight had finally given the sky its due. Today, not only were there no leaden clouds, but even a single white cloud was scarce. Only the sun hung high in the clear blue sky.
Su Qingluan pushed the door open and couldn't help squinting her eyes - the crystal white snowflakes fell on the ground, and when illuminated by the sunlight, they reflected tiny points of light, making it difficult for people to open their eyes. It was like a giant naturally formed reflector, making the already sunny yard even brighter.
Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan had already begun exploring the "snow wall" which was considered very high for them, but Su Qingluan saw Yang and Su Guangfu holding a long bamboo ladder together and leaning it against the wall, while Su Guangfu was trying to climb to the roof with the help of the ladder.
The two were very close to the ladder, so they didn't notice it, but Su Qingluan was some distance away from the ladder. In addition, she had been studying painting for many years and had a keen sense of balance of objects, so she noticed that although it was not particularly obvious, the two sides of the bamboo ladder did not seem to be exactly the same height!
At this time, Su Guangfu had already raised his foot and climbed onto the first step of the ladder!
"Wait!" Su Qingluan was so frightened that she quickly called out to stop them, "Dad and Mom! That bamboo ladder doesn't seem that stable!"
Su Guangfu and Yang heard this and quickly got down from the ladder to check. It turned out to be quite old and naturally had some wear and tear. However, the couple wasn't about to risk their own safety over such a small matter. The ladder had been unstable, having been tilted upside down, but it was so worn out that they hadn't paid much attention.
At this moment, Su Qingluan confirmed again and again that the ladder was fine, and then she and Yang held the two sides of the ladder on the left and right, allowing Su Guangfu to climb onto the roof.
"Mother, what is father doing on the roof?"
Yang pointed to the roof and said, "Just watch."
As he was speaking, he heard Su Guangfu hitting the roof with a broom. Because the roof was in a "V" shape and tilted to both sides, when Su Guangfu hit it, the snow on the tiles on that side slid down little by little with the vibration.
Su Qingluan was still a little puzzled: "Why do we have to knock the snow off these roofs? They are sloping roofs anyway, can't we just wait for them to slide down on their own?"
