Chapter 175 The First Snow
A few months passed by, the peasants put on heavy cotton clothes over their undershirts, and the hot Loess Plateau blew a cold wind.

Life in Guanzi Village is as ordinary as ever, studying newspapers and going out to earn work points. Farmers are like numb machines, repeating their daily work day after day.

The only thing that makes them emotionally fluctuate is the matter of food distribution after the autumn harvest.

God is still very strong this year, the rain is sufficient, and there is no severe drought. Coupled with the farmland infrastructure, it stands to reason that the harvest should be quite good.

But the actual situation is that the overall harvest is not as good as last year, and even a lot less. After handing in the collective reserve grain, it is quite nervous to distribute it to everyone.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and the peasants who don't have much food at home are all frowning, planning every meal carefully, for fear that they won't last until the next food distribution.

Seeing all this, Wang Manyin could only sigh in his heart, feeling helpless.

Fortunately, the big deal is to eat more sorghum noodles, which is not enough to starve to death.

It is said that in the poorest Xiashan village, some people have starved to death, but the news is full.

In the Loess Plateau in late autumn, the sky is covered with overcast clouds, the sky is dark, the ground is violently windy, and the trees are shaking from side to side, like a doomsday scene.

Suddenly, a white snowflake slowly floated down from the sky, but was quickly blown into the air by the strong wind.

But a large number of snowflakes fell from the dark clouds one after another, the sky became white, and the wind became more and more noisy.

"Snowing!"

The sound of the sea suddenly entered the cave. Wang Manyin pushed open the wooden door and walked out with a bowl of steaming white rice. A chill immediately shrank his neck.

"Wow, wang wang!"

Hei Zai looked at the white snow flying all over the sky, jumped up and down excitedly, and ran into the yard to chase those feather-like snowflakes.

The first snow of the year is here!
Wang Manyin stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake, and the white snowflake instantly turned into icy snow water, and the snowflakes that fell to the ground also melted quickly, but a lot remained on the leaves and grass.

But after a while, there will be thick snow piled up on the mountain trails, and then it will be the real world of wind and snow.

"It's so beautiful when it snows." Lan Hua leaned against the wooden door with her big belly in her arms, looking at the two and the dog amusedly.

Wang Manyin hurried over to help her in, "Put some clothes on and set the kang bed on fire, so I don't dare to catch the cold."

Lan Hua obediently walked into the cave and lay half on the kang bed, while Xu Hui was burning the kang bed.

Wang Manyin poured some soy sauce into the bowl, planed off the white rice in the bowl with a few gulps, then packed the dishes and went to the stove to wash.

"Man Yin, put on the big cloak, the school doesn't have a kang bed for you to burn."

When Wang Manyin was about to go to school in the afternoon, Lan Hua asked.

Wang Manyin nodded, took out a wolf fur cloak and put it on his body, the soft wolf fur immediately felt a burst of sunshine-like warmth.

Putting on the cloak, he looked even more robust and mighty. He walked up to Lan Hua, gently covered her stomach with his big hands, and said in a gentle voice: "The little guy has almost stayed in it, and I'm afraid it will be over for a while. Out."

The corner of Lan Hua's mouth was smiling, and her brows were filled with the radiance of maternal love, "Ye Langzhong is talking about the past few days, Man Yin, my heart has always been beating fast these two days."

"Why don't we go to the hospital in Shigejie for two days, that would be convenient." Wang Manyin suggested.

"Where is the hospital as comfortable as home? Besides, I'll be watching. If it doesn't work, I will deliver the baby." Xu Hui said from the side.

Wang Manyin smiled and said nothing. There are indeed many midwives in the countryside now, but Wang Manyin still prefers to go to the hospital, and feels more at ease.

Besides, grass ash is used for disinfection in the countryside. Wang Manyin doesn't want Lanhua to suffer from this. The hospital should be cleaner.

In fact, if conditions permit, he also wants Lan Hua to go to the people's hospital in the county to give birth.

Seeing that it was almost time, Wang Manyin buttoned up the wolf fur cloak and called to the sea, and the father and son rode bicycles towards the school.

The wind and snow were raging, and the two of them were covered with snowflakes in a short while. The felt hats tightly protected their foreheads, but their cheeks were sore from the blowing.

When he arrived at the school, there was still a little time before class, Wang Manyin walked into the office and made a pot of hot tea first.

"Hey, Man Yin, this cloak of yours is really beautiful, what material is it?" Liu Wu saw the wolf fur cloak he was wearing, his eyes lit up immediately, and he walked over to touch it.

"What kind of material are you looking at?" Wang Manyin pinched a few tea leaves and put them in.

Liu Wu touched it carefully, eyes full of envy, and finally shook his head, "It's definitely not sheepskin, nor does it look like fox fur. It's made of wool."

Wang Manyin didn't hold back anymore, and said, "It's wolf skin."

"Wolf skin?!" Liu Wu's voice increased, and he took a closer look. His mouth was so big that he could swallow an egg.

"It's really a wolf fur. This, this, tsk, where is the wolf fur that is full of silver? This big cloak is really beautiful. Do you have any more wolf skins? I can exchange them with you." Liu Wu touched Holding the wolf fur in his hand, he said fondly.

Wang Manyin opened his hand angrily, "Don't bald me, let alone the wolf fur, the wolf hair is gone."

Liu Wu sighed regretfully, rolled his eyes, came over with a smile and said, "Man Yin, lend me to wear it for a while, I don't even have a sheepskin cloak, and I don't know how it feels to wear a cloak."

Wang Manyin held his cloak and looked at him vigilantly, "I don't want to borrow it. If you want to wear it, ask your mother-in-law to make it for you. It was stitched by Lanhua for me. No one will borrow it."

Liu Wu rolled his eyes at him, "I don't want to ask, I will make a big cloak when I go back, and then you will be soured, no, I don't have a mother-in-law, how can I make a big cloak."

Wang Manyin also became interested when he heard the words, "Yes, Mr. Liu, your qualifications are not bad. Uncle is also the deputy branch secretary. Why don't you find a mother-in-law?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Wu said quietly: "I want to look for it too, but there is no one in the village who matches my eyes, and the people in other villages are not familiar with it, so I have been delaying it all the time. I don't want to compromise myself, so my uncle He also said that I read too much and made my mind stupid."

His tone was a little annoyed.

Wang Manyin took a sip of the hot tea in his hand, held the teacup to warm his hands, and said unhurriedly: "That's right, if you haven't read, you naturally don't have so much thought. If you read a lot, you will have a lot more demands on your partner." .”

"But don't panic, you're still young anyway, one year younger than me."

Liu Wu also graduated from high school and came to the village to teach. Although he has taught for several years, he is actually only [-] years old. In the eyes of the countryside, he is very old, but Wang Manyin feels that he is not in a hurry.
