This snowman was made according to the "snowman" that Su Qingluan had in her previous life - a large "platform" at the bottom was the body of the snowman, and a circular sphere on top was the head of the snowman.
In modern times, the snowman's eyes are usually made of coal balls or the bottoms of two beer bottles.
But it is obvious that there are no beer bottles here. There are coal briquettes, but they are very precious fuel and can be used for cooking or heating. Yang and Su Guangfu would never let the children play with them.
So Su Qingluan thought about it and simply used two small wine cups that Su Guangfu had not used for a long time and were already cracked and were about to be thrown away, revealing the two black bottoms of the cups, to act as the eyes of the snowman. Of course, the nose could not be replaced with an edible carrot, but with a small part of a rotten hemp rope.
The hat was much simpler. There was a wooden bucket at home, but it was used for relieving oneself when the weather was cold. The two children, along with Su Qingluan, disliked it, so they used the snow scoop they had used earlier. As for the snowman's hands, they inserted a snow broom into the snowman's body, and that was it.
It was the first time for the two little guys, Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan, to play the "building a snowman" game. They seemed very excited and even started playing "house" with the snowman and gave it a name.
The two of them argued over whether to call the snowman "Baibai" or "Chubby" until their faces turned red. Su Qingluan could only sigh that children are really energetic. They could run in the snow for most of the day and still argue with each other with red faces and thick necks.
This pseudo-girl just wanted to lie down on the warm kang to keep warm.
Yang was a little worried: "Piling the snow up to look like a human, will it attract some unclean creatures?"
Su Qingluan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Mother, there are so many wooden doll toys in my sister's drawer. If you say which one looks more like a human, that one looks more like... Ouch!" Before she could finish her words, Yang patted her on the back.
"That damn kid!" Yang rolled her eyes in annoyance. "You always try to scare your mother. Don't you know I'm a coward? I'm afraid of these things, right?"
Seeing Su Qingluan's smiling face, Yang smiled again and said, "Forget it, let's go our separate ways. You are right. We are upright and honest. If we don't do anything wrong during the day, we don't have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door at night!" Perhaps thinking that so many "dolls" in the drawer didn't attract any "unclean things", there was nothing wrong this time, so she ignored them and followed the children.
On the first and second days, the Su family worked and played at the same time. Overall, they were in a relatively relaxed state. After all, it was very normal to snow in winter, and no one took it seriously.
But one day, two days, three days... Today is the seventh day of snow all day or all night. Although there was a day and a half without snow, the sky's "dark clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it" is just brewing a heavier snow.
So gradually, no one in the Su family could laugh anymore.
Let’s not talk about sweeping and clearing snow all day long. It’s okay for a day or two, but it will get boring after a while. But this is secondary. After all, if the children get tired, there are adults to support them.
but……
"Such heavy snow may turn into a disaster..." Su Guangfu muttered softly as he looked at the sky above which was still covered with dark clouds.
After hearing this, Su Qingluan turned around and asked, "Father, with such heavy snow, will the mountain be closed?"
"Closing the mountain is secondary," Su Guangfu sighed again. "With such heavy snow, I've been keeping an eye on our roof, but other people's houses..."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingluan's originally indifferent expression turned serious: Yes, the first thing their father and mother do every morning is to knock the snow off all the houses, but not all families can do this - for example, those families with mostly elderly and weak people, or those whose roofs are at the wrong angle, the snow cannot be cleared off at all.
If too much snow continues to accumulate and breaks the beams of the house...
Su Qingluan shuddered and looked at Su Guangfu beside her: "Father, you want to..."
"In the past, we couldn't take care of the whole house ourselves. We patched up the west side and the east side was leaking. But now our house has been renovated..." Su Guangfu looked at his own house at the back. "When we were renovating our house, the villagers helped a lot. This time we can't just sit there and do nothing."
Su Qingluan also understood what Su Guangfu meant. Although she had paid wages in the name of "recruiting workers", the results of "putting in effort" and "not putting in effort" were very different for the same work.
Among the people Su Qingluan knew in her previous life, more than one or two people were worried about the decoration of their homes - they spent money and suffered a lot of anger. The decoration results could not be said to be exactly the same as the design drawings, but they were very different.
So when the house was being renovated, even though Su Guangfu, who was considered to be "knowledgeable", was there, Su Qingluan was actually a little worried.
I never thought that throughout the whole process, the work could be done to perfection. Even if there was a mistake in the smallest details, those who came to help would immediately find a way to solve the problem, and there would always be a saying: "This is Carpenter Su's house, so there must be no ambiguity."
It was then that Su Qingluan realized how popular her father was in the village.
However, this "good popularity" certainly didn't come for no reason. Seeing Su Guangfu's appearance today, Su Qingluan seemed to understand why her father had such a popular reputation of "all sides supporting each other when one side is in trouble."
Sure enough, starting from the next day, after Su Guangfu finished clearing the snow, he and Yang carried the ladder and went out, and did not even come back for dinner.
