Liu Aiguo counted on his fingers,
"This small classroom can only accommodate two families at most, and the large classroom can squeeze in three families? So this can only fit three, five, seven, or at most twelve families, and they'll have to squeeze in like bean buns. What about the thirteen families? Where will they be placed?"
Liu Weimin paced back and forth. The village was full of mud and thatched houses. No one could guarantee whether they could be saved, so how could he dare to send anyone else in?
Suddenly remembering what those educated youths had said, he slammed his hand on the table.
"By the way, the educated youth compound, the educated youth just said that the compound has cleared out a few rooms. Quick, send someone to see how many families can be accommodated?"
The snow was so heavy that the villagers didn't dare go home and all gathered here. A group of children were playing in the snow at the entrance of the village office, and some adults who had nothing to do were helping to roll snowballs and build snowmen. It was a lively and enthusiastic scene.
Cheng Rui was worried about his family. Since they couldn't help much here, he decided to go back and check on them. He shared all the candy in his pocket with his friends.
"You guys stay here and play. I need to go back and check on things. I left in a hurry this morning, and I haven't even shoveled the snow off my roof yet."
Back home, it wasn't easy. The two children found long bamboo poles and shoveled the snow off the roof, then pushed the snow in the yard. They didn't clean it up very thoroughly, just cleared the path from the doorway to the gate. The snow hadn't stopped yet, and it wasn't something that could be swept clean in one go.
After relighting the fireplace in the house, the sisters were finally able to sit down and rest for a while. Although they hadn't done any major work all day, they had been busy doing this and that.
"Sis, do you think Uncle will come to help with something this big?"
Cheng An nodded affirmatively.
"It will definitely happen, but this snow probably won't just affect our village. The entire commune and county town might not be spared. Even the military region's own territory will need time and effort to clear it up."
Even if it's just to provide support, we need to clear the way first. Our village is considered quite far, isn't it? Even if they're coming, they can't be here this quickly.
Cheng Rui smacked his lips.
"Then tell me, can my older brother come?"
The women looked at each other and realized, well, they had just assumed things.
There's a saying that goes, "Good fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly," and there's actually some truth to that.
As dusk fell and darkness descended, the heavy snow continued to fall. Several black figures nimbly glided past Jian Dan's house, their feet treading lightly on the snow.
Then, there was a knock on Jian Dan's door.
