Some children even took off their scarves and hats and put them on the snowman’s head and around his neck. As a result, cute snowmen appeared on the main road of Xinghua Village, becoming the warmest scenery since early winter.
Mingyu, Minghao and Zebao were tired from playing snowball fights, so they just lay down on the soft snow without a care in the world. After rolling around for a while, the kids started chatting. He talked about his chickens, his ducks, and some small things like how his parents beat him. At the same time, they could feel the snowflakes gently falling on their faces, which was so soft and cool that it melted the chill brought by the wind.
After dark, the children who had played wildly for a while were taken home by their parents. In the whole village, apart from the barking of dogs, the only sounds were the whistling of the cold wind and the faint sound of snowflakes falling to the ground.
The next morning, when Mengyue woke up from her sleep, she felt the unique coolness of snow in the air. With every breath she took, she felt a chill that penetrated her heart.
When she tried to open the door, she found it was covered with snow.
Qing Ning was already serving her, so she didn't have to do anything with these little ones herself.
When Qing Ning opened the door, snowflakes were still falling from the sky. Everywhere she looked was covered in white. She couldn't see the boundary between heaven and earth. The whistling wind in her ears reminded her all the time that it was an extremely cold winter during the Little Ice Age.
Without going out specifically to look, she knew that no matter the ravines in the mountains or the paths in the forest, even the entire mountain behind Xinghua Village was covered with snow. She could not see where the mountains were or where the roads were, there was only endless snow.
It was snowing so heavily and it was going to snow for another ten days. She couldn't even imagine how many families' houses would be crushed by the snow, how many people would be buried in the snow in their sleep, and how many people would be frozen to death if the snow didn't stop.
In fact, there was a family in the village last night whose house had fallen into disrepair. Heavy snow piled up on the roof, and it collapsed under the weight.
Fortunately, one person was thirsty and thought of drinking some water, which saved the whole family. Otherwise, they would definitely not be rescued by morning.
By the morning, more than a dozen households in Xinghua Village had roofs that could no longer withstand the pressure of the snow and had become shaky, threatening to collapse at any time, making them uninhabitable.
This is the case with Xinghua Village, and other villages are no exception.
In Zhulin Village in particular, a family’s house collapsed while they were sleeping at night, and they never woke up again in the snow.
Mengyue heard this news from Qingning. The village chief and others did not come to Mengyue's house to find her immediately as they did before, but instead tried to find a solution on their own.
In fact, the seven village heads did this thanks to their experience in building reservoirs and digging rivers.
In the process of building the reservoir and digging the river, not all the work had to be done by Meng Yue himself. Meng Yue only pointed out the general direction and provided materials and money. The specific work was carried out by the seven village heads and the villagers.
When building reservoirs and digging rivers, various problems are inevitable.
At the beginning, the seven village heads would inevitably be in a panic and not know what to do. At this time, they would go to ask Mengyue for advice, and Mengyue would point out the key to the problem in a few words and give a solution. The seven village heads did not need to think, they just had to execute it.
Later, Mengyue realized that as long as it was like this, she would never be able to let go, but this was impossible.
She was pregnant and in the late stages of her pregnancy with quadruplets. Her body and mind were under tremendous pressure and she needed enough time to rest.
