Chapter 143 Someone's Dead
"Why do you say that? Isn't snow a good omen for a good harvest?"
"That's true, but we have nothing to eat this year. If it gets colder, I think life will be difficult."
Liu Yunshuang said this and went to light the kerosene lamp.
There is not much time left, I have to work overtime to make the shoes.
When the snow melts later, it will be very cold.
Children, their feet must not be frozen.
Liu Yunshuang's actions made the two older children very sad.
"Mom, I won't go out and run around, so don't do it. You might damage your eyes again."
"Yes, let's do it tomorrow during the day.
Let's heat up the kang, it won't be a problem."
Seeing the pain in the two children’s eyes was quite comforting.
It’s not certain for your own child. Breaking bones is related to tendons, and it’s not something you can take lightly.
"It's okay. This shoe will be ready soon. We don't need to make more."
Liu Yunshuang also made repeated assurances before the two children gave up and stayed with her.
The heavy snow lasted for three days.
She also worked overtime and finished making shoes for both children.
The only pair left is my own, which is the finishing touch.
The snow stopped and the Third Master came over with a brazier in his hand.
"Oh, it's all done, just give me a shout and I'll be there.
There is snow on the road, so be careful."
"Yes, the snow is really heavy, almost up to my thighs.
There are three more. Come with me and we will move here."
"Okay~"
She asked the third master to make four for her, two in the east room, one each in the main room and the west room.
Although it is still a lot for ordinary families, it is a different story if they have vegetables at home.
After the braziers were brought back, the Third Master did not come along.
She quickly picked some vegetables and sent them over, and after some tearing, she finally managed to keep some.
"Mom, look at this brazier. It's so pretty."
Uncle San not only made a large square brazier out of yellow mud, but also covered it with a layer of gray-blue glaze.
There is a small side on each of the four sides where you can put some things.
On top, broken bowls were even arranged in the shape of flowers and inlaid on top.
"Yes, your Third Grandfather and Third Grandmother are really good to us.
If anything happens later, or you need to run errands or something, you can't be lazy, understand?"
"Yeah, I know, Mom.
Let's go and light a fire and get some charcoal."
"OK!"
It's time to cook. They have changed their schedule for the past two days.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, so every household eats two meals a day.
They too, a little later in the morning and a little earlier in the evening.
There is no lunch.
Even the school has this rule.
Because she needed to make a fire, she also got some white flour.
I cut a head of cabbage and prepared to make pies.
Add some of the bacon at home, but not too much.
This was the first time I made this and the kids were so happy.
There is no need to put up a table, you can just sit around the stove and warm yourself by the fire.
As soon as it comes out of the pot, you can eat it hot.
Liu Yunshuang was also infected by the atmosphere and took one to eat.
A family of four, very happy.
I baked a few extra ones, so they will be enough for tomorrow morning.
At night, the brazier was lit and the temperature rose instantly.
This means burning the firewood until it turns red into charcoal and then placing it in the brazier.
Press it tightly so it can stay red longer.
Of course, it can't be burned too lightly.
If there is a blue flame, you have to wait, otherwise you will get carbon monoxide poisoning in a closed space.
If it's not handled properly, people could die.
The children kept reminding him again and again before he finally gave up.
Now, with food to eat and a warm house, Liu Yunshuang lay on the kang, feeling like a completely different person.
The first winter after my rebirth is relatively easy to get through, and it will get better and better.
The next day, the family was no longer in a hurry.
After dinner, they all got dressed and went to clean up the snow.
In addition to the ones inside the yard, we also have to clean up the ones along the avenue.
For those going to the Third Master's house, there is no need to prepare too many things. At least there should be a small path for people to pass through.
"Zhiqing, you guys should go back quickly, it's too cold, don't let your hands get frozen.
Wait a minute, find some leftover cloth and make a hand muffler for each of you."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Mom, let Zhili take Zhiyi back. I'll help you clean up..."
"No, that's it, just listen~"
Before Xu Zhiqing could answer, the sound of a loud speaker was heard, which was quite abrupt.
"Dear team members, dear team members: Please pay attention ~ Each household is requested to send a representative to the team headquarters for a meeting.
Each household is requested to send a representative to the team headquarters for the meeting.
Please spread the word and make sure everyone comes.
Please spread the word, and everyone must come.”
It’s like this in every broadcast, and it has to be said twice.
"Mom, what's going on? Are you going to ask everyone to go sweep the snow?"
"It shouldn't happen. Everyone's doorstep will be cleaned up, including the street across the street."
"Yeah, what's that for?"
Xu Zhiqing was a little confused and asked again
"Okay, stop cleaning up, I'll go over and take a look.
You will know when you come back. Stay at home and don’t go out.”
After giving the instructions, she went back to warm herself up and drink some hot water.
He put on a headscarf and then set off.
When we arrived at the team headquarters, quite a few people were already there.
Li Yuelan was not seen in the crowd.
She had just gone to Third Aunt's house, but Third Master had already left, so she didn't see him.
Everyone was at the door and no one went into the house.
Li Guofeng also came over, saw her, nodded, but did not come over to speak.
I guess it’s because of what happened last time, and I’m afraid it will cause trouble for her.
After all, it is a meeting of all team members, and the Xu family will definitely come.
This is true. I didn’t expect Du Ruohong to come too, but I didn’t see Xu Lanjiang.
He didn't turn his back on anyone, but walked straight towards her.
"Yunshuang, are you here?"
"Well, sister-in-law, are you okay?"
He doesn't look very energetic, so he probably hasn't passed the battle yet.
"It's okay~"
"Why don't you go over there so they don't see you standing with me."
"What are you afraid of? He's my enemy. If he dares to interfere with me, I'll tear his head off and kick it like a ball."
My goodness, he is so angry.
Liu Yunshuang was speechless. She was in a difficult situation at this moment.
Coincidentally, Li Yuelan also came over, also coming for her.
"Oh, Sister Yunshuang, you guys are here so early.
It’s so cold today, I’m freezing to death.”
"It's really cold, why don't you wear a headscarf?"
"I'm not in a hurry to come out, you know? Something happened!"
As she spoke, she deliberately looked to the side and lowered her voice.
However, it was still heard by someone with ulterior motives.
"What's going on, Qiangzi's wife, what happened?"
Seeing that everyone had heard it, she stopped hiding it.
He waved his hand and asked them to come closer: "Last night, it seemed like someone was frozen to death."
