Most older people would wear cotton-padded trousers when it snowed and wouldn't take them off until Qingming Festival.
In well-off families, people wear thin cotton-padded trousers when it first snows, and only switch to thick cotton-padded trousers around the winter solstice.
Wearing a thick cotton-padded coat and two cotton-padded trousers, and then a thick cotton-padded jacket and thick cotton-padded boots issued by the work unit, those with money would wear a raccoon or otter fur hat, and those without money would wear a dog fur hat. Each person would also wear a pair of cotton-padded gloves. That completes the winter gear.
No matter how cold it is outside, with this set of gear, you can get through the winter comfortably.
"Mom, you used to say that it's good to dress warmly in spring and lightly in autumn, but now you're complaining that I'm not wearing cotton-padded pants?"
Sheng Xi'an was indeed not wearing cotton-padded trousers; he was wearing undershirts and wool trousers, with trousers over them.
I thought wearing these would be fine, but when I opened the door this morning, I realized that the thermal pants were no good at all; the cold wind blew right through me.
"You're always finding fault with me. I told you that it's autumn and you don't need to wear cotton-padded pants too early. It's snowing now and you're still not wearing them? Are you asking for a beating?"
Zhang Shuzhen was so angry with her second son that she picked up the broom handle, ready to hit him.
Startled, Sheng Xi'an darted back into the house, quickly took off his woolen trousers, and put on cotton trousers instead.
The mother and daughter's argument in the outer room made Sheng Xiping, who was in the west room, unable to sleep, so he put on his cotton-padded jacket and trousers and came out.
The two brothers went to the storeroom together and found a wooden shovel and a bamboo broom. They first swept a path in the yard and then cleared the area outside the gate.
Then we swept all the snow in the yard and piled it up, then dragged it out with a sled during the day.
While we were working, we heard the forest farm's loudspeaker blaring, calling on several tractor drivers to start work at eight o'clock and drive their tractors up the mountain to compact the road.
After the snowfall, winter transport operations will officially begin. Before the winter transport, the tractor tracks must be compacted to facilitate the entry of various types of machinery into the mountain area.
After autumn arrives, forestry workers will plan tractor tracks in the ditches and ponds according to the design drawings and cut down some trees that are in the way.
When the first snow fell, while the ground was still slightly frozen, we used a tractor to compact it several times to make the tractor track firm.
Once it freezes again, the tractor track will be solid and ready for all kinds of machinery to run.
Therefore, many people also call this type of tractor track a winter track.
After calling the tractor driver to work several times, the person on the loudspeaker changed again; it was the principal of Qianchuan Primary and Secondary School.
The principal announced over the loudspeaker that students could arrive at school a little later this morning, and everyone should bring a wooden shovel or broom to school.
Needless to say, this is to have the students come to school to do manual labor, clearing snow from the playground.
These days, it's not fashionable to take a break when it snows. If it snows heavily, no children will stay home on holiday; they all have to participate in collective labor.
"Honey, don't go to school too early today. The roads are slippery outside right after school."
"Go a little later, after the students have cleared the way across the playground."
After Sheng Xiping finished clearing the snow from the yard, he carried a wooden shovel into the yard and saw Zhou Qinglan coming out. He quickly gave her some instructions.
Zhou Qinglan is about seven months pregnant, and her belly is bigger than before, but she is still quite agile and her figure is still slender from behind.
When the old ladies in the forest farm saw this, they all said that Zhou Qinglan was carrying a boy.
