Chapter 145 Snowstorm
"Really? Why would I lie to you?"
Ye Jiansheng answered.
Everyone felt a sense of relief.
First it was Song Moting, then Jiang Xiaoxiao.
They were really afraid that something would happen to someone else.
"Okay, okay. I believe you. So what's the situation outside now? Could it be that the world has changed drastically after I slept?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao herself was also confused.
"Xiaoxiao, the porridge is here, hurry up and eat it first. You felt scared because you didn't eat for three days and three nights. We took turns to stay by your side for three days and three nights. But you just didn't wake up. If Song Moting hadn't checked and said that your breathing was stable and your pulse was normal, without any abnormalities, he would have said that you were simply asleep.
It makes us very anxious.”
Jiang Xiaoxiao only felt really hungry when she held the hot porridge.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know I could sleep this long."
It can be seen that she really scared everyone.
"Stop talking. We're all happy as long as you can wake up. You just don't know how terrible it is outside. You slept for three days and three nights, and it snowed for three days and three nights, and it hasn't stopped yet. The manager came to tell us that this year's snowstorm might be the worst.
The roads up and down the mountain are no longer passable. If this continues, we will be trapped in the snow. We go to clear the snow every day, fearing that the house will collapse.
No one knows when the snow will stop. The manager said that during the worst snowfall in history, it snowed for more than half a month. And that year, there was not just one heavy snowfall, but about 20 snowfalls, and the entire mountain was buried in snow.
There was no forest farm at that time, but even so, many people in the villages below the mountain died because of the snowstorm, and many died of freezing or starvation. "
Gu Dali described the situation outside.
Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced out the window. Although the snow in the yard had been cleared, she could see that it was still covered in snow outside and the snowflakes were still falling heavily.
He couldn't hide his surprised expression.
how so?
There was a snowstorm in her previous life, but she didn’t seem to feel it and didn’t remember the major disaster, that’s right!
In her previous life, she was in a production team and had just been assigned to a small collective. She had not been to the forest farm. Although life in the production team was difficult, it was much better than in the mountains.
The snow is heavy, but the problem is that as long as you don’t go out, it’s not a big deal.
The most they did was to clear the snow, it was true that there was not enough food.
Because the roads are blocked.
They were almost stretched thin with food afterwards.
Because of this, Jiang Xiaoxiao developed stomach problems due to hunger that year, and she couldn’t recover for many years afterwards.
Yes, many people starved to death that year. Jia Shu was bullied by that damn scoundrel just because he wanted to save a bite of food for her.
Only then would you panic and freeze your leg.
I remember all the bad things but forget about this snowstorm.
Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed.
However, Song Moting was sensitive to the changes in Jiang Xiaoxiao's mood.
"Don't worry. We have enough food in reserve. As long as we eat sparingly, we can last until next year. The director also said that there will be less snow after the Chinese New Year. That's about this month or so. We male educated youth have already discussed with the workers at the forest farm that we will go and cut some more trees when the snow is less.
As long as we have enough fuel, we will be fine. The forestry workers have been working here for many years. They know better than us how to deal with this snowstorm. "
This is consolation. This is not what the manager said when he discussed this issue with them.
Even the field manager said that this was a rare snowstorm in a century. Not only did the snow block the mountain and the road, but it was also extremely dangerous to go up the mountain and cut trees.
The snow is already waist-deep. If you accidentally fall into the snow ditches, you might be killed.
Not only that, the manager also warned them that they were not allowed to go up the mountain until the snow melted.
Otherwise, it would really be dangerous.
It also allows them to save firewood.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes were clear and firm. She understood the significance of this snow better than anyone else.
"Don't lie to me. How can we go up the mountain to chop firewood when the snow is so heavy? I think we should hold a meeting to discuss what to do in the future. We have to keep the firewood until next year, although we have made preparations in advance. We prepared a year's worth of firewood, but we didn't expect the snow to be so heavy.
There are definitely some deficiencies. The best way now is for everyone to merge and reduce the consumption of each house. In this way, firewood can be saved until next spring. And food, food must also be arranged reasonably.
I guess the snow has blocked the mountain. Even if the farms down there want to help us, they probably won’t be able to deliver anything. We have to think more about saving ourselves.”
What she didn't say was that the production team at the foot of the mountain didn't have food to eat, let alone them.
Even if the county wanted to provide disaster relief, there was no way to do so at the moment.
In their place, it is not easy to go out once it snows.
This is not the same as in the later days when when it snowed, all kinds of large machines and equipment would come out to help people clear the snow and roads.
Snow clearing now relies on manpower.
How could they possibly clean up a place like their farm, which is so remote and vast?
"Brother Song, I told you, there's no need to hide it from Xiaoxiao. What you said just now scared me so much that I really didn't dare to say anything. Look how clear Xiaoxiao's brain is. She reacted immediately after you said it.
However, Xiaoxiao is right, we should reallocate the dormitories. We should try to squeeze everyone into one dormitories, which will save a lot of firewood. Now we have four dormitories.
Their girls' dormitory must be kept, but it would be best if we could reduce our boys' dormitory to two rooms."
He Aiguo said with a smile, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly eased.
Song Moting glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao with admiration in his eyes. This woman's brain reacted too quickly.
Even though he slept for three days and three nights, as soon as he woke up, he immediately grasped the key point with a casual remark.
"Okay, now that you've eaten, if you don't feel unwell, we'll be relieved. Let's go, let's go out, everyone, Xiaoxiao has woken up, don't crowd into their room. The air isn't good either, let's go back and discuss what we should do.
Re-allocate the dormitories. Otherwise, Aiguo and I can share one of our dormitories, so that my room can be freed up."
Song Moting said with a smile.
The others also nodded. As soon as Jiang Xiaoxiao woke up, they all immediately turned their attention to the disaster they were facing.
After all, this is a big deal.
Everybody get out.
Jiang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and Jia Shu took the bowl and went out.
Jiang Xiaoxiao got off the kang.
After sleeping for three days and three nights, how can I not stretch my muscles?
This snow disaster is probably not just that simple. At the beginning, many people in the production team became sick from hunger because of the snow disaster, and everyone was so skinny that they were emaciated.
Although there is a lot of food in your own space, you can't just take it out casually.
Everyone has a limited amount of food, and no one is a fool. They will leave as much as they eat.
How would she explain it if she just casually took these things out?
But this snowstorm is not so easy to get over.
It's really worrying.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt like everything had changed after a good night's sleep.
