Chapter 53: Expectations



Waking up in the morning, looking at the snow-covered mountain villages, forests and flying snowflakes outside the house, it is breathtakingly beautiful!

The heavy snow fell down, and the snowflakes danced in the air in various postures, flying, circling, or falling straight and fast, covering the ground.

The wind continued to blow, and gradually the earth was covered with a white blanket. Looking into the distance, the mountains in the distance were covered in white, and one of them looked like a palace.

The white "city wall" and the slightly dark "city wall" have a majestic momentum that penetrates the sky.

Snow is such a wonderful product!

It finally snowed, the first snow of the year, a sign of a good harvest.

But the road became difficult to walk on as it started to freeze. You have to know that most of the roads here are mountain roads with steep ups and downs. Sometimes if you fall, you can slide for dozens or even hundreds of meters, and there are also cases of falling into ditches, which is very dangerous.

Suddenly I thought of my parents. I don’t know if they have come in such a cold day. How did they get here on such a difficult road?

She quickly swept the snow in the yard and in front of the door. The yard was simple, and it was clean soon after sweeping it with her mental power. She then swept the outside with a broom. Fortunately, her physical fitness improved quickly, otherwise she would be tired and sweating. Now she just felt like she was warming up.

After packing up the little stone and eating quickly, Chu Xi decided to ask the captain indirectly. Since he had decided to hide the relationship, he had to be cautious. After all, Uncle Shi was a very shrewd person.

With Little Stone running happily and Little Gray following him, they staggered towards the captain's house.

Team leader Shi Kong's house is located in the middle of the village. It has several brick and tile houses and is very conspicuous. There are adobe houses next to it.

In the village, people often go up to the roofs to clear the snow. If they don’t clear it away, the thatched roofs are likely to collapse, which will be a problem for the people living inside or the items placed inside.

Nowadays, this kind of house has to be renovated every year and the thatch replaced, otherwise it will definitely not last until the New Year, and it will inevitably rain heavily outside and lightly inside.

Here I see a crowd of people gathered in a yard, with more than a dozen people helping to carry things.

It turned out to be the family of Shi Daqiang, who was usually short-sighted and lazy. I guess someone noticed it was snowing in the middle of the night, but they were just being lazy and no one reminded them. Even if they were reminded that they needed to work, they would just pretend to be asleep. As a result, the house, which was not strong enough when it was being repaired, collapsed in a short time. Fortunately, no one was hurt, as the wood on the roof was not very thick, so no one was hurt.

This house belongs to the third child in the family. The husband is away working, and the woman is raising two daughters. Just because she didn't give birth to a son and her husband is not at home, she is bullied by her mother-in-law and the second and eldest children all day long. She doesn't even have anyone to help her repair the house. It's pitiful for her.

Team leader Shi Kong had no choice but to ask for help. After all, there were several lives at stake. If the house was not repaired, something big would probably happen this winter.

Chu Xi was still feeling lucky that her house was a tiled house with beams and was not prone to snow accumulation, so it would be comfortable this winter. She saw the team leader leading everyone to work from afar.

Helplessly, Chu Xi could only take the child to play in the village for a while. Xiao Hui was running around happily. It was probably the first time he saw snow, and he was very curious.

But don’t you see the two big dogs next to them with their ears erect and alert at all times, and the three little dogs lying in the snow and not daring to move? This natural racial suppression is indeed not a lie.

Finally, Chu Xi saw that the captain was no longer busy and hurried forward.

"Uncle Shi, look at how busy you are. You are truly a role model for everyone. We should all learn from you!"

"Is it Shi Peng's? Yours is better. They're all brick and tile houses. They slide down easily when there's a little snow. But your place is quite far away. Is it easy to go out with such thick snow? Do you need me to find some people to clear the road?"

"Thank you, Uncle Shi. It's okay. I can do that job myself."

It’s as if your house is not a brick and tile house, Chu Xi complained inwardly.

Besides, with just that little bit of snow, I just used my mental power to sweep it over, and the snow moved obediently to the side of the road. Of course, Chu Xi is not that high-profile. She still needs to stay in the village for a long time, but she dare not show off.

"Uncle Shi, I have something to ask. Didn't they say that some educated youth were coming to our area? It's snowing now, and the roads are getting hard to walk on. When will they arrive? I have a friend who seems to have been assigned to this area. I wonder when he'll arrive? Maybe he'll be assigned to our area."

Chu Xi started talking nonsense.

"Oh, you mean them? They were supposed to come three days ago, but I heard that a few elderly people who came down to work were hospitalized for two days due to illness, so they were delayed for a few days."

"Oh, I hope everything goes well!" Chu Xi began to worry. Could it be that her parents were sick? She hoped not.

She returned home with a worried look on her face. Little Stone became silent and just followed quietly behind, waving his hands to prevent Little Gray from disturbing his mother.

Chu Xi couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. This cute baby is so considerate!

Mom’s little cotton-padded jacket, oh, it should be a little vest!

But I was always worried and kept looking towards the town.

Because Chu Xi's home is close to the mountains and is slightly higher than other homes in the village, you can see the direction of the village entrance from the yard.
