She was so heartless that she had already started to worry, fearing that one day she would wake up and find her house buried, and it would be difficult for her to get out.
"When will the snow stop? It seems that the gathering can't be held this year. No one dares to go to town now, let alone buy New Year's goods." Song Tangcheng felt helpless when looking at the heavy snow outside. Now they have to go out to sweep the snow in the snow every day.
The piles of snow in the yard were as high as the house. If they hadn't been compacted so tightly, a person might have been buried in them.
But even so, the snow showed no sign of stopping. How could everyone not be worried?
"It's okay, second sister. We already prepared a lot of meat before the snow started. If we can't go out, we can just eat the stockpiles during the New Year!"
Song Tanglan was not too worried about preparing New Year's goods. If she didn't have any, she could just celebrate the New Year simply. Anyway, as long as she had meat, it would be fine.
Not to mention the pheasants and rabbits that her second brother-in-law brought back from the mountains from time to time.
The meat she bought in town before the snow was enough for them to eat during the New Year holidays, not to mention that there was still so much meat in her space, but she just couldn't take it out. She thought about it and could use the room as a cover. Anyway, she was going to town, and her second sister and brother-in-law didn't know what she bought.
"It's not a good idea to keep raining like this. It looks like we won't be able to catch up in time for spring planting."
Song Tangcheng supported his chin and looked at the heavy snow outside. He didn't know if there would be enough animals on the mountain if it continued to snow like this. He was afraid of what would happen to the Huohuo team when they went to the countryside.
Cheng Fangyuan looked at his worried daughter-in-law and comforted her helplessly.
"It's okay. There's always a way out when you get to the mountain. But it's better not to go out recently. The snow outside has covered the original road conditions. You can't see the original terrain clearly. You don't know where the potholes and ridges are. If you're not careful, you can easily get injured."
"It's a good thing you changed the oil back that day, Yuan. Otherwise, we wouldn't even have oil to cook with and would have to eat boiled vegetables every day."
At this time, Song Tangcheng couldn't help but sigh about her husband's decision at that time. Because of her, the family has always had the habit of stockpiling items.
Whenever there was not much stuff left at home, she would buy some more and keep them at home. Gradually, there was always a lot of stock in the cellar at home.
But this may be a habit of their Song family, and it was also learned from their mother. There is no way, every time Ms. Su He buys things, she can almost fill up her room.
At first they thought it was unnecessary, but when they needed it later, they realized how right she was to do so.
"Come to think of it, I don't know how Grandma Cui and the others are doing. Ayuan, you and big brother went to see them yesterday. How were they?"
The villagers in the Red Star Brigade get along relatively harmoniously, but there are also many lonely elderly people. Most of them have lost their children and are the only ones left at home. There is also a family where a 10-year-old sister lives with her 8-year-old brother.
For people like this, Captain Cheng would ask his two sons to take care of them from time to time, give them some help, and make their lives more comfortable.
Occasionally I would send them some firewood, repair their roof, and help them buy some daily necessities.
"My eldest brother and I went to check it out. Everything is fine. Xiaoli's family is doing well too. The roof hasn't collapsed. The two children go out to the yard from time to time to sweep the snow. I heard from them that the families next door often go to help them clear the snow off their roofs. Everyone has food stored now, so there's no need to worry too much."
"That's good, I hope nothing else happens next!"
Song Tanglan listened to the two people chatting and thought the same thing in his heart. He was really trapped at home. Although his safety was assured, it was easy for people to have wild thoughts when they relaxed.
What's more, if the animals on the mountain run out of food, who knows whether they will come down the mountain to attack the team. Then the team will be in real danger.
But she also hoped that this was just her fantasy and it would be best not to come true.
As the snow continued to fall, many people were feeling very distressed, not to mention that the snow showed no sign of stopping. They also realized that this year's winter was not only weird, but might also be a disaster for them.
…
Captain Cheng stood at the door looking at the snow outside and couldn't help but sigh deeply. This was the nth time he sighed. There was no other way. As a captain, he always had to think about the team members.
Now it snows lightly during the day, and heavy snow may fall at night when you don’t know. They not only have to brave the cold wind to clear the snow on the ground every day.
He also had to instruct his two sons to go check on those families every day. They were all great heroes. Even if they were not, their previous families were, and he didn't want to see them die like this.
But every time he wanted to go out for an inspection, his two sons would not let him go out because they were afraid that something might happen to him.
In addition, his rheumatic legs would become worse if he went out for a bit of fresh air. He was afraid that he would have to trouble his wife to take care of him, so he finally settled down.
"What's the point of sighing? This is something God decided. Can you stop it from snowing just by sighing?"
Aunt Li also knew what her old man was worried about. But what God had decided was not something they could change just because they wanted to. Besides, this year's snowstorm was so fierce. If they hadn't been prepared, there might have been more than one or two deaths in their team.
Yes, after this period of heavy snow, several elderly people in the team died. These elderly people were not lonely elderly people. They all had children at home. It’s just that they were not filial to their children. They didn’t even notice that their old mothers (old fathers) had frozen to death.
Actually, this is also a sin!!
