Chapter 494: The Village Chief Looks for Li Mengyue (1/2)



But this posed a problem: there were no extra empty houses in the village.

Although every household in the village has enough food and drink thanks to Li Mengyue, they also have some savings.

But the house is still the new house. Some villagers will repair it in their spare time, but some people think that the house has been lived in for so many years and nothing serious has happened, so they don't take it seriously.

Besides, even if they want to build a new house, it will take time and money. However, the villagers have just achieved food and clothing, and they have no conditions to build a new house, nor can they spare the time.

Because some time ago, both adults and children participated in building reservoirs and digging canals, working hard to earn money, so they had no idea of ​​building a new house.

Therefore, even if the villagers can earn money every day, they still live in old houses and cannot withstand the pressure.

After a day and a night of heavy snow, the snow was so thick that it collapsed the roof.

Even if there were a few empty houses in the village, they could not accommodate so many people. During the period of building the reservoir and digging the river, Village Chief Li was in full charge of dispatching all the villagers in the village, and they all grew a lot in both ability and knowledge.

But the problem of having no place to live still gave him a headache. Seeing the children and the elderly shivering from the cold, he really couldn't bear it, so he found a few women to make ginger tea, porridge and cook.

The housing issue cannot be solved for the time being, but we must first ensure that everyone has enough to eat. We cannot allow people to survive the snow and freeze to death in front of everyone.

These women had all worked in the canteen before, and they cooperated very well. They didn't need to talk, just a glance and they knew what to do. Soon, several large pots of steaming porridge were cooked, and they were served with fragrant and soft steamed buns.

Before drinking porridge and eating steamed buns, the village chief first asked everyone to drink a bowl of ginger tea to drive away the cold.

After eating, the villagers whose houses collapsed returned home and wanted to dig out the food, clothes, quilts and other supplies buried under the snow.

They were able to survive temporarily with the help from the village, but they could not rely on the village forever. Now every household had surplus food, and they were not short of clothes and quilts, but they just lacked a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

When Village Chief Li was frowning about this matter, the village chiefs of Lianhua Village, Taohua Village, Shitou Village, Guihua Village, Meihua Village and Zhoujia Village also came to his home.

Village chief Li looked at the expressions on everyone's faces and knew what it was about without having to guess.

Forget it, he was just struggling over whether to go find Li Mengyue, but now it seems that there is no need to worry about it anymore, so just go together.

After a stick of incense, someone knocked on the Li family's door.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Li Mengyue had just finished her meal and was about to use teleportation to go to the villa to see if Xie Ruiyuan needed any help.

After all, the heavy snow has just started to fall, and even if the snow is quite deep, it does not hinder walking. If it continues for a few more days, I guess we won’t even be able to see the road.

She never expected that someone would come looking for her before she left.

When Qing Ning led Village Chief Li and others over, Li Mengyue knew that something big must have happened, otherwise Village Chief Li and others would not come to find her at this time.

As expected, as soon as Li Mengyue said please sit down and asked Qingning to prepare some tea, Village Chief Li was busy and said it was not necessary.

"Yue girl, we can't stay here for long. We have to leave quickly after we finish talking. We still have a lot of things to deal with."

Li Mengyue did not force it. She also knew that this was a critical period and she could not waste time on meaningless things.
