Chapter 138 Snowstorm is coming
In the main house, the maids instructed Luo Qiuyue to take pine and cypress branches, dip them in glutinous rice water and sprinkle them in every corner to dispel bad luck and bring good fortune to the new house.
Luo Qiuyue was not the type to do this kind of thing, but in the face of everyone's kindness, she had no choice but to be patient and do it meticulously.
An offering table and an incense burner were placed in the Ye family's yard.
Pig heads were placed on the table, as were all kinds of flower cakes and gold ingots (for decoration).
“The auspicious time has arrived!”
The sound of firecrackers popped, the villagers beat gongs and drums, and the Ye family began to burn incense.
After burning incense, everyone gathered around and congratulated in unison.
"A good time to settle down in a home will bring happiness to all generations!"
"Congratulations on your new home, and may your new home be auspicious!"
"Eat flower cake!"
Three little ones plus six little golden ones, nine kids in total came over holding flower cakes.
Liu Xiaojin's parents have been helping out at the Ye family these days. They are currently setting up a stove in the large yard in front of the Ye family's gate, preparing for today's housewarming banquet.
"Let's share in the Ye family's joy!"
The villagers picked up the fluffy and soft big flower cakes and couldn't wait to put them in their mouths.
tasty!
The Ye family is really honest!
The Ye family's buffet lasted for three days, and the entire Heihe Village had a good time satisfying their craving for meat.
The children grew fat from eating so much, and the villagers were very grateful.
It is said that the Ye family is not just moving to a new house, but is clearly finding ways to improve the food for the whole village!
In the morning, Ye Yanshun got up very early. Because he moved to a new house, he asked his teacher for a few days off and now he had to go back to school.
Ye Yanping was worried about him going alone and insisted on sending him off.
Just as the two of them walked out of the inner courtyard, they suddenly heard a baby cry, "Woo wa, Cacao..."
"It's Xiao Jiuer!"
The two men's faces changed and they ran back along the eaves to the east wing. The door opened with a creaky sound and the little girl ran out with her bare feet.
The little face that used to be rosy and rosy was now a little pale, and tears were hanging on the chubby cheeks.
"Daughter, what's wrong with you? You're not even wearing your jacket."
Ye Yanping picked her up and warmed her little feet with his big hands.
“Crude…”
Little Dumpling looked at Ye Yanshun, tears welling up in his big eyes.
"Be good, little Jiu'er, uncle is here!"
Ye Yanshun thought Xiaojiu was reluctant to let him go to the academy, so he comforted him softly, "Uncle will be back soon. I'll bring you some more delicious snacks, okay?"
The little dumpling shook his little head, tears streaming down like beads from a broken string, "Wow, no, this is too rough!"
"Xiao Jiu'er..."
Ye Yanshun felt a lump in his throat; the little girl's tears had broken his heart.
If he didn't have to go back to the academy today, he really didn't want to leave.
The other members of the Ye family rushed over upon hearing the noise. Yunniang wrapped the little girl in a small blanket, held her in her arms, and comforted her softly, "Xiaojiu'er, you're reluctant to let your uncle go to town, right?"
The little boy nodded, but then shook his head, his little arms tugged excitedly in the quilt, "That's rough!"
"Why don't you let your uncle go, dear?" Luo Qiuyue asked softly.
The little girl sobbed, her face red from crying, and sadness in her big eyes, "Let me wash it roughly, wuwuwu..."
What? !
The Ye family looked at each other in shock.
"Xiao Jiuer had a nightmare again?"
"Yeah!"
"This time it was a dream. Did I, uncle, die?" Ye Yanshun hesitated.
"Yeah!" The little girl pursed her lips sadly, "Wash it roughly, wash it a lot!"
"Xiao Jiu'er, can you tell me what happened?" Ye Buwei carried Xiao Jiu'er over. "What happened in the dream? Why did so many people die?"
"Snow, snow, snow!" Little Dumpling's eyes moved to the sky, "A thick and thick frost, a lot of frost!"
The little girl's tearful words were like a huge thunderclap, shocking the Ye family members on the spot.
Ye Buwei's voice was cold and calm. "Xiao Jiuer saw her uncle freezing to death in the academy in her dream, right?"
"Yeah!" Little Dumpling's eyes were red. Thinking of her uncle being trapped in the academy in the heavy snow and dying alone in hunger and cold, her little heart ached.
"Xiao Jiuer dreamed that a heavy snowfall froze many people to death. Is it the same in Heihe Village?"
"Yeah! Wash it so much!"
"Okay, Naobao knows. Don't be afraid, Xiaojiu'er. Naobao will find a solution."
Ye Buwei gently patted Xiao Jiuer's back and said to Ye Yanshun, "A Shun, go to the academy and ask for leave. You can study at home this winter."
"good!"
Ye Yanshun agreed without hesitation.
Seeing the tears Xiao Jiuer shed for him, his heart was moved and warmed. Although studying is important, human life is more important. He will definitely listen to Xiao Jiuer and not let Xiao Jiuer worry about him.
"Dad, can I tell the headmaster that there might be heavy snow this year and the weather will be very cold, and ask the academy to prepare more charcoal supplies?"
"Sure!" Ye Buwei nodded, "But they might not believe it."
"I know, I can only do my best and leave the rest to fate. Brother, let's go and come back quickly!"
"good!"
Ye Yanping and Ye Yanshun immediately set off for the town.
"An, go call the village head and Master Zhao." Ye Buwei ordered.
"Okay, Daddy!" Ye Yan'an hurried out with a serious expression.
Soon, the village head and Zhao Xingjian came over.
The village head walked with a humming sound, and white mist kept coming out of his mouth and nose.
"Dad Yan Ping, Yan An said there was something urgent? I didn't even have time to eat breakfast before I was dragged here."
"It is indeed an urgent matter." Ye Buwei asked the two to sit down and Yunniang poured them tea.
The village head waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone, "Well, what could be the urgent matter? This winter, Heihe Village has a surplus of grain, and we've also planted a lot of radishes and cabbages. By the beginning of next spring, we can start sowing crops. Life will only get better and better."
"Not until the beginning of next spring." Ye Buwei said calmly, as if stating a fact. "There will be a snowstorm this year, and many people will freeze to death."
"puff--"
The tea in the headman's mouth sprayed out, and the rest got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't stop coughing.
Zhao Xingjian looked surprised, "Father Yanping, how did you know there would be a snowstorm this year?"
"There's always a way to know."
Ye Buwei looked in the direction of the village head, and the village head's pupils trembled instantly.
He understood!
It was Xiao Jiuer who issued the snow disaster warning!
The village head could no longer sit still and suddenly stood up from his chair, "Do you know when this snowstorm will come?"
Ye Buwei shook his head.
The village head walked around the house with his hands behind his back. "In previous years, it snowed in early December. We don't have much time left!"
Zhao Xingjian looked at Ye Buwei and said respectfully, "Father Yan Ping, what do you need me to do?"
Although Zhao Xingjian felt that the snow disaster was a bit unreliable, his idol had spoken and he had to believe and obey unconditionally.
"I heard that you had a very good reputation when you were a legal advisor in the county government. I want you to convince the people that there will be a snowstorm this winter. We need to prepare countermeasures in advance, otherwise many people will die."
"good!"
Zhao Xingjian agreed immediately.
Planning such a thing is a piece of cake for him.
