"Ah Chen, why are you out here? Go back to bed!"
"Ah Chen, you've just recovered, so don't be careless. Hurry back inside, it's cold outside."
"Holy Maiden, please advise Ah Chen to go back."
With Amo's help, Achen hadn't walked far when the busy Miao people urged him to go back and lie down.
But Ah Chen couldn't lie down, and Ah Mo couldn't persuade him either.
Fortunately, Ah Chen's body was almost completely free of cold energy, otherwise Ah Mo would not have let Ah Chen come out.
"Miao'er, let's go back!"
Several more elderly women were trying to persuade them.
Ah Chen shook his head to indicate that he was fine, adding, "If I lie down any longer, I'll get moldy! It's okay, I was just looking around, and you're dressed so warmly."
Amo also said, "Everyone is busy with their own things. I'm just keeping Achen company. It's okay."
Ah Chen wandered around, taking in the sights.
These past two days, there have been brief bursts of sunshine every now and then at midday.
The blizzard is gradually melting, but the chill of winter has not yet dissipated.
But with the revival of all things, the breath of spring can be faintly heard in the stillness.
"The start of spring is earlier this year; it will be here in less than two weeks!"
"Amo, after the Han people's Spring Festival, our Starry Sky Orchard will be entering a new chapter!"
Actually, Ah Chen is very afraid of natural disasters!
Even if there are disasters, he will not be afraid as long as the Miao people live a good life!
As for the massive blizzards and freezing disasters, that happened in 2008, after the turn of the millennium.
There are still twelve years left.
“I know you’re worried, I’ll go with you to look around! Where do we go first?” Amo tied Achen’s cloak and helped Achen to the place he wanted to go.
Indeed, Ah Chen conducted a comprehensive examination of the orchard while recovering from a serious illness.
And with the appearance of Mu Achen--
Uncle Long, Chief Long, Treasurer Long A-Zhan, and the Eight Jackals A-Xiong and A-Shi all rushed towards A-Chen from different parts of the orchard.
No matter how they tried to persuade him, they couldn't convince Ah Chen, and since the Holy Maiden didn't say anything, they gave up trying.
but--
Ah Xiong and Ah Shi, along with dozens of core Miao people from their two main branches, unwittingly shielded Ah Chen from most of the cold wind.
Ah Chen thoroughly investigated the most crucial locations and also answered the questions raised by the uncles and brothers of the three major branches.
I also told them about various things they should pay attention to.
By the time I finished all that, it was already noon.
Inside the greenhouse on the side of the natural lake, the aunties of the long-skirted Miao seemed to know that Ah Chen was coming, so they had lit a very bright charcoal fire in advance.
After Ah Chen sat down, he looked to his left and back.
The greenhouses of today are not the straw sheds of the past.
It was a proper shed built with steel pillars.
Ah Chen saw that there were roasted potatoes in the charcoal fire, so he quickly dug them out. But just as he was about to bend down to take them, Ah Mo took them and peeled them for him first.
"Ah Chen, although we followed your instructions and cleared the snow separately during this blizzard, there are still some areas that don't feel quite right. Is this really alright?"
"Uncle, don't worry, it's not a big problem!"
"Then...why aren't there any sprouts in several places?"
"It's normal, no need to rush! It will only be noticeable after the start of spring."
With Ah Chen's words, Chief Long, Ah Xiong, and Ah Shi finally felt relieved.
but--
Ah Mo's silence made Ah Xiong and Ah Shi a little apprehensive.
At this moment, both of these jackals were thinking that if the Holy Maiden hadn't been here, they would have really wanted to quietly ask Ah Chen what he had said that day.
What did you say?
Of course, it was Ah Chen's blatant declaration that he would personally bury the clan elder!
Soon, Jiang Ya and Yang Ayao arrived.
While eating roasted potatoes, Ah Chen asked about the situation of seedlings growing deep in the mountains.
Jiang Ya said, "After the blizzard stopped, the roads were cleared! Supplies have arrived at all the Miao villages, so we'll be fine this winter!"
"What about the losses?"
“Each Miao village suffered losses to varying degrees! Fortunately, Achen, you ordered the timely delivery of rice from the orchard to each village, saving many pregnant women and infants. It has been confirmed that no one died.”
Jiang Ya gave a brief report.
Afterwards, the core Miao people of each branch in the orchard also came to tell Achen what they knew.
After listening, Achen pondered for a moment and said, "As long as no one dies, that's the greatest comfort! As for those whose houses collapsed, the other Miao people in the village will help them first. After this winter is over, I will try to find them jobs next year."
"Earning money will also relieve the pressure."
"As for the grain, just register each household and don't take a single penny from them."
Jiang Ya and the others nodded.
Ah Chen continued, "It was my fault before the snow disaster. I got so busy that I forgot I had prepared rice! I didn't even realize that we were eating food carried over by Miao people from the deep mountains those days."
"Sheng Tang, please arrange the distribution of all the supplies this time. You can report directly to the Holy Maiden when the time comes."
"Uncle, things here are not too problematic at the moment, so the three branches can discuss it first. I will handle the rest after the Han New Year."
"But you're all getting on in years, so you should take care of your health!"
Faced with Ah Chen's words of advice, his uncle and the others felt a pang of sadness, their eyes red as they looked at Ah Chen.
Bai Miao A Shi said, "Don't just keep telling us what to do. You're really badly injured this time. After you go back to the orchard, take good care of yourself at home. We'll come see you after we finish things here."
"Yeah, Ah Chen, those few days were really scary!"
"Miao'er, are you going back already?"
The old women who came in all gathered around when they heard this.
