"Do you have any ideas at all?" Lin Cuiying asked helplessly.
The silly system coughed, "Well, there is a solution."
Lin Cuiying's eyes lit up. "What method?"
The goofy guy said mysteriously, "That's... everyone huddling together for warmth!"
Lin Cuiying was speechless again...
She realized she shouldn't have had any hope for this ridiculous system.
"System, can't you speak properly?"
"Host, I just wanted to help you relax a bit. It's so cold, you need to keep a good mood."
Lin Cuiying's lips twitched: "I thank you for your kindness."
You're welcome, host.
Seeing that Lin Cuiying was really getting angry, the silly system dared not joke anymore and said seriously, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."
"This weather is indeed a problem, but don't worry, host, I'll help you find a solution."
Lin Cuiying snorted, "You'd better be."
The silly guy coughed and said, "Host, this problem isn't actually that hard to solve."
"Oh? What's your idea?" Lin Cuiying raised an eyebrow.
The goofball said in a serious tone, "That means... clearing the snow off the roof in time!"
Lin Cuiying thought it was a good idea and immediately discussed it with the villagers.
"Yes, we should clear the snow off the roofs in time to prevent more houses from collapsing."
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what we were thinking about."
The villagers all agreed, and each household took action to clear the snow from their rooftops.
People took shovels and brooms, braved the cold wind, climbed onto the roof, and began clearing the snow.
Some houses have high roofs, making it difficult to climb up.
Seeing this, the young people in the village stepped forward to help.
"Uncle, you're getting old, don't climb so high, let me help you!"
"Auntie, you're not feeling well, don't overwork yourself, let me take over for you!"
With everyone helping each other and working together, the efficiency of clearing snow has improved significantly.
Lin Cuiying also took a broom and swept the snow on her own roof.
She felt a surge of warmth as she watched the villagers busily working.
Although the weather was cold, everyone's hearts were filled with warmth.
This spirit of unity and mutual assistance deeply moved Lin Cuiying.
The silly system suddenly blurted out, "Host, doesn't this scene look a lot like ants moving house?"
Lin Cuiying almost burst out laughing.
This silly system is a real character!
However, upon closer inspection, the villagers' busy figures do indeed resemble ants moving house.
Everyone worked together towards a common goal.
After more than an hour of effort, the villagers finally cleared the snow off the roof.
Everyone was exhausted and sweating profusely, but they were all very happy to see the results.
"Great! Now we don't have to worry about the house collapsing!"
"Yes, yes, everyone has worked hard!"
The villagers thanked each other for their help.
Lin Cuiying also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease as she looked at the cleaned roof.
However, she also knew that this was just the beginning.
The snow was still falling, and they had to remain vigilant and be ready to clear the snow again at any time.
The silly system suddenly chimed in, "Host, do you think this snow is deliberately going against us?"
Lin Cuiying couldn't help but laugh, "Why would you think that?"
Doubi sighed, "Look, we just cleared the snow off, and it's started snowing again. Isn't it deliberately making things difficult for us?"
Lin Cuiying rolled her eyes. "Are you trying to fight against God?"
The goofball chuckled, "No, no, I was just saying it offhand."
Lin Cuiying shook her head and continued sweeping the snow.
She knew that this heavy snowfall was beyond their control.
The only thing they can do is unite and face the difficulties together.
The villagers understood this principle, and no one relaxed their vigilance.
They continued to inspect the roof and surrounding area, and began clearing away any signs of snow accumulation as soon as they found them.
"Attention everyone, the snow is still falling, we can't let our guard down!"
"Yes, yes, be prepared at all times, we can't let the house get damaged again!"
The villagers reminded each other to stay vigilant.
Lin Cuiying was deeply moved as she watched this scene.
Despite the cold weather and numerous difficulties, everyone persevered.
Their spirit of working together to overcome difficulties deeply impressed Lin Cuiying.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the weather grew colder and colder.
A few days later, some families in the village ran out of food.
"We've run out of food, what are we going to do?"
A villager approached Lin Changgeng with a worried look on his face. His family didn't have much food left to begin with, and these past few days, he had expended a lot of energy clearing snow, so the food was being eaten up even faster.
Lin Changgeng also looked worried.
He was well aware of the seriousness of the problem; the heavy snow had blocked the roads, and the villagers simply couldn't go out to buy food.
Moreover, even if they could get out, it would be difficult to walk in this freezing weather with such thick snow on the roads, let alone transport grain.
Upon learning of this situation, Lin Cuiying also fell into deep thought.
Although she liked to hoard grain and her own family had enough, there were so many people in the village, she couldn't just stand by and watch them go hungry.
"System, do you have any ideas?" Lin Cuiying couldn't help but mentally call out to the silly system.
The silly system was silent for a while before saying, "Host, this problem is indeed a bit tricky."
“I know it’s a tricky situation, but we can’t just ignore it, can we?” Lin Cuiying frowned.
Doubi sighed, "How about... we first take stock of the food shortage situation in the village, and see how many people are short of food and how much they are short?"
Lin Cuiying nodded. "That's a good idea. I'll go discuss it with Father first."
Lin Cuiying found Lin Changgeng and told him her thoughts.
Therefore, Lin Changgeng immediately organized the villagers to conduct a survey.
After a lot of work, they finally figured out the situation of food shortage in the village.
The result surprised Lin Changgeng and Lin Cuiying: nearly half of the households in the village were short of food!
"What are we going to do?" Lin Changgeng paced anxiously. "So many people are short of food, where are we going to find so much food?"
Lin Cuiying was also extremely anxious, but she knew that she couldn't panic at this moment.
"Dad, don't worry, let's think of another way," Lin Cuiying comforted him.
Lin Changgeng sighed, "What can we do? In this heavy snow, we can't even walk, let alone find food."
Lin Cuiying remained silent for a while, then called out to the system in her mind again: "System, please think about it again. Is there really no other way?"
Doubi sensed Lin Cuiying's anxiety. After a moment of silence, it suddenly said, "Host, why don't we try making a sled?"
"Sled?" Lin Cuiying was taken aback.
