I found some white cloth, put it under the basket, put all the steamed sugar candies in it, and then covered it with an old quilt.
Carrying the goods on a shoulder pole, I saw that the path outside had been almost cleared, so I walked along the path and soon found them.
Forty or fifty men were working there, and she saw Qin Fang at a glance.
"Qin Fang, come here!"
Qin Fang put down his shovel when he heard the shout. When he saw the man coming with the basket, he hurried over.
Lin Qiaoqiao, "I steamed some sugar pudding for everyone, share it with everyone!"
Qin Fang lifted the quilt and saw the steaming sugar triangles. He was really hungry at this time, so he shouted to the people behind him.
"Come over and eat!"
When the big guys heard that there was something to eat, they hurried over.
When they saw the steaming hot sugar triangles, some of them immediately took off their gloves and started eating them. It was nice to eat something hot on that day.
Soon all the sugar triangles in the two baskets were divided up.
Lin Qiaoqiao didn't invite them to dinner for nothing. The family was going to build a house next year, so they would have to ask for help. Building a house in the countryside meant treating people to a good meal.
The dishes were a little harder, and since they had a good relationship, the house was built after a few visits.
This is also what the original owner's mother told her. This is called the way of human relations.
If you want to use someone, you have to prepare in advance, instead of just thinking of looking for them when you are doing the work.
"Qin Fang, your wife's sugar triangles are so delicious, with so much sugar!"
"It's so sweet! It's so cold, so I need to eat something to have the strength to work!"
"Speaking of which, even the pigs would freeze to death in this horrible weather."
"Isn't it? The chickens I raised at home had to be brought back to the house overnight before they recovered. Otherwise, they would have frozen to death!"
"Is this horrible weather going to allow people to survive?"
Everyone was talking at once, mostly complaining about the horrible weather, which happened to happen during the Chinese New Year.
After they finished eating, Lin Qiaoqiao carried the basket back home. When she came back, she brought them some hot water, running back and forth twice.
They originally didn't have much strength left, but after eating they became more motivated and persisted for a while until they cleared all the snow from the paths in the village.
We couldn't work anymore at 4 pm because the temperature started to drop again. We were too cold to work anymore so we had to disperse.
When Lin Qiaoqiao got home, she used the old hen stored in the space to make soup. She stewed a whole pot and put a lot of ginger slices and red dates in it, which could drive away the cold and nourish the body.
Liu Guodong never thought that he could drink such delicious soup, and he wanted to swallow his tongue.
Worried that Qin Chuchu might catch a cold again, Lin Qiaoqiao left her in the house to sleep. She used an old quilt from home to cover the window of the next door room, so that the room could be a little warmer.
Fortunately, we bought a lot of coal in the winter, and the two stoves kept burning, so we were able to spend another night safely.
When she woke up in the morning and saw that it was not snowing outside, Lin Qiaoqiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as it doesn't snow it's a good sign. If it continues to snow it's not certain what will happen.
Although it didn't snow, the temperature didn't rise. Instead, it seemed to be even colder than yesterday.
The firewood is chopped in the winter and placed in the corner of the wall, covered with something like plastic sheeting, so you just have to bring it in and burn it.
Today is New Year's Eve. It should have been lively and bustling, but because of the heavy snow, this year feels a little lonely.
There was no one to clear the snow on the road, so we could only wait until the snow melted before going home.
Liu Guodong was a diligent child. He took over all the work Qinling usually did. When there was no firewood in the house, he went out to get it. The only problem was the water supply at home. The well was frozen at minus dozens of degrees. There was no way to get water, so he had to use snow water.
I guess every household is like this now.
Fortunately, the air is not polluted now. This is after the snow has melted, and there is not much sediment in the water.
Isn’t this how China has survived for 5,000 years?
Lin Qiaoqiao uses the water in the space when cooking, and uses snow water to wash dishes and pots.
The rabbits were also brought into the house and stayed next to the stove, living a fairly comfortable life.
As for food, you can’t just feed them vegetables as you did before.
We made two kinds of dumplings in the evening, one with sauerkraut filling and one with cabbage filling. Everyone liked them very much.
Then they stayed up together until midnight, and Qin went out to set off two strings of firecrackers, and the New Year was over.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Qiaoqiao went to Li Xiaoyan's home specially to wish them a happy new year and chat about family matters.
The temperature did not start to rise until the sixth day of the first lunar month. For more than a week, every household had a hard time.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the snow on both sides of the road began to melt slowly.
Seeing that the temperature had improved, Liu Guodong packed up and went back to his old house. Lin Qiaoqiao's persuasion was useless, so she just let him go.
But I sent him some food at night. Why did I send it at night? It was because I was afraid that others would miss it.
If there is no shortage of food, no one will take advantage of a child.
Because of this heavy snow, it is estimated that every household consumed a lot of food. . .
Two days later, it was already the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and it seemed that the snow on the road should have melted almost completely. Lin Qiaoqiao decided to go home and take a look.
After lunch, Li Xiaoyan came to visit with her children.
Lin Qiaoqiao was very happy to see her coming, and took out some melon seeds and candies for the child to eat.
Cao Dashan is the type of person who won't let go of the candy once he gets it.
Li Xiaoyan ate two melon seeds and then said, "Have you heard that people have disappeared in the neighboring villages?"
Lin Qiaoqiao was stunned. "What's going on? Why is someone missing?"
Li Xiaoyan: "It is said that dozens of people have gone missing, and neither the living nor the dead have been found. They just disappeared without a trace.
Isn't it because the snow on the road is too thick? Someone went to the police station to report the case. Anyway, the matter has become a hot topic. No one in our village is missing, but we still have to be careful! "
When Lin Qiaoqiao heard that dozens of people were missing, she immediately became upset.
“Is this true or false?”
Li Xiaoyan, "Yes! That's because someone from the police station came to look for my father-in-law. Isn't he the village chief? He thought someone in our village was missing too. But it turns out that our village is fine, no one is missing."
Lin Qiaoqiao, "Can your carriage go on the main road now?"
Li Xiaoyan, "I think so! The weather is getting warmer now. Why? Do you want to go back to your parents' home?"
Lin Qiaoqiao then went downstairs to put on her shoes and went to find Qin Fang next door.
"I want to go home and see my family. I'm worried that something happened to them."
Qin Fang felt something was wrong, "What happened?"
Lin Qiaoqiao, "Yan Zi just told me that people have gone missing in several villages around here, and the number has reached dozens. I'm worried about them."
