Chapter 95 Winter and Snow



"Who is it?" a male voice came out. Tong Yiya recognized it as Uncle Deng Wu's voice and replied, "Uncle Wu is at home. I came to bring some vegetables to your house."

"It's the young educated youth. Your aunt went to the commune to buy things today. She is not home now." Uncle Deng Wu replied.

When Tong Yiya heard that Aunt Guihua was not at home, she did not want to go into the yard, so she said outside the yard: "Uncle, since Aunt is not at home, I will put the vegetables at the door. Remember to bring them in later. I will go back first."

After she said that, she put the basket at the gate of Aunt Guihua's house and turned back to her own yard.

Aunt Guihua came back in the afternoon and heard from the head of the household that Tong Zhiqing came to deliver some vegetables, but because she was not at home, he left the vegetables and went back.

After she packed up the things she had bought, she said something to Deng Laowu, took half a bag of pastries she had bought at the commune supply and marketing cooperative today, and went out to find Tong Yiya.

Tong Yiya returned to her own yard and pulled weeds in the vegetable garden for a while. After she was done, she went back to the house to rest for a while and got up in the afternoon to cook dinner.

When Aunt Guihua came, she was busy in the kitchen, so she didn't notice Aunt Guihua coming in.

Aunt Guihua walked out of the kitchen door and asked, "Tong Zhiqing, today I heard from your uncle that you went to my house to look for me. Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"Auntie is here, come in and sit by the fire. I was weeding the vegetable garden in the yard at noon and pulled out some cabbages. I thought I couldn't finish them all by myself, so I packed some and gave them to you," said Tong Yiya.

When Aunt Guihua heard that nothing was wrong, she smiled and said, "That's good. I thought you had something urgent to talk to me about, and I was afraid you would be delayed."

"No, I don't have anything urgent to do today. Since you're here, you can have dinner at my house tonight. I have cooked plenty of meals." Tong Yiya felt warm in her heart when she saw how worried she was about her, so she let her stay for dinner.

Aunt Guihua did not agree. Although Tong Zhiqing had already been allocated food, she had only been in the village for a short time and had not earned many work points. The food she received after the autumn harvest would only be enough for her to eat for about two months. She would have to buy some more food later so that she could survive until the next distribution of food.

How could she eat at her house and waste her food? She refused and said, "No, your uncle is at home. He has never been to the kitchen in his life. I have to go back and cook for him."

"There's no rush. I'll prepare the meal early. You can eat here and take his portion back. I'm too lazy to go to the kitchen to cook," said Tong Yiya.

"No, no, I came to check on you just because I was afraid you had something urgent to tell me. These are the pastries I bought at the commune today. I brought some for you and I'll go back first. Otherwise, it will be late and your fifth uncle will be worried." Aunt Guihua said as she put the oil paper bag in her hand on the table beside her.

Without waiting for Tong Yiya to say anything, she continued, "I'll go back first. You can continue to cook your meal. No need to send me off. I'll come over to do needlework with you when I'm free someday."

As she spoke, she had already walked to the door. Tong Yiya saw that she was in a hurry to go back, so she didn't stop her, but she still put down the work in her hands and walked her to the gate.

After the people walked away and were almost back into her own yard, she closed the gate and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking her dinner.

Now that the weather is getting colder, Tong Yiya goes into the space every night. In addition to exercising and reading, she also runs a few kilometers on the open space in the space, trying to improve her physical foundation.

A few days passed like this, and after dinner yesterday, snowflakes slowly began to fall from the sky and the temperature continued to drop.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, the snow outside was falling heavier and heavier. Tong Yiya added enough firewood to the kang to last until dawn, then went to get hot water for washing. After pouring the water, closing the door, she climbed onto the kang and got into the warm bed.

This was the coldest day she had felt in the more than two months since she came here, so she was still a little uncomfortable. She did not go into the space at night but read books or run.

The warm kang was burning, and the temperature in the room gradually rose. I guess the fire in the kang must not be extinguished in the days to come.

I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep on the warm kang. I slept until early the next morning. Through the window, I could see that it was very bright outside.

Tong Yiya took all the clothes and pants she was going to wear and put them into the quilt to warm them for a while before she slowly got dressed. The first thing she did when she got up from the kang was to put some firewood into the kang so that the room would be warmer when it was burned.

After the kang was heated, she poured water from the thermos into the water bottle to wash up. After washing up, she opened the door and all she saw was a sea of ​​white.

Looking at the thick snow that has piled up at the door, I can imagine that it must have snowed all night yesterday, and the snow has reached my ankles.

Tong Yiya took out a shovel from the space and started shoveling the snow in front of her house. She first shoveled a path big enough for her to pass through to the kitchen, then took a large bamboo broom and went to clean the snow on the roof.

It took me about an hour to work on the roof, and then I shoveled as much snow as possible outside, and also shoveled the snow under the eaves away from the house.

This is the first snow of this winter. If it is not cleared in time, there will be more snow behind the house and it will freeze in front of the house, making it inconvenient for her to go out.

She shoveled for a while, then went to the kitchen to cook herself a bowl of hot noodles. With food in her stomach, she had more energy to work.

She spent the whole morning shoveling all the snow in her yard. All the shoveled snow was piled on the slope at the entrance of the yard. When the snow melted, it would flow down the slope into the ground.

Not long after she finished and went into the kitchen, the team leader came to her door and shouted as soon as he entered the yard: "Tong Zhiqing, Tong Zhiqing, where are you? Give me some herbal medicine to prevent colds."

Tong Yiya came out of the kitchen after hearing the shouting, and seeing that the captain was very anxious, she walked towards the pharmacy and asked, "Captain, don't worry, I'll get you medicine right away. Was it that family's family that was left out yesterday?"

"It snowed heavily last night. Several houses in the village are many years old. No one was hired to repair them during the slack season this year. The heavy snow caused some of them to collapse. The people didn't care and all the family members, young and old, squeezed into the better houses to sleep.

It was almost noon when someone called me and said that someone had started to have a fever, so I hurried over to ask you for some medicine so that I could boil some decoction for them to drink." When the captain saw Tong Yiya walking towards the pharmacy, he was no longer so anxious.

In the past few years, there was no barefoot doctor in the village, and every year several houses would collapse under the snow, and people would catch a bad cold and die soon after.

Now there are barefoot doctors in the village. Those people are ignored and don’t come to see doctors themselves. Only when their illness is seriously ill will they think of calling him, the team leader.
