Escape from the desert

Jiang Yan brought all the children back to the main room, where the stove was burning all the time, and the whole room was warm.

She made the children all wash their hands and feet, bought some anti-itch hand balm from the mall, wiped them, and gave everyone a big box.

The children picked up the things and thanked Jiang Yan with innocent smiles. Most of the children in the farm are precocious, even if they are not very old, they are all very sensible.

The glutinous rice baked on the stove, Jiang Yan persuaded several times, the children took it one by one and ate it in small bites.

The harvest in the village is not bad this year, and every family can eat enough to eat, but not every family is willing to give the rice cakes used as snacks to their children every day.

It is only during the few days of the Chinese New Year, when relatives in the family come to pay New Year's greetings, they will take it out to entertain guests. It is also at this time that the children can have a small meal and have a good time.

The weather was getting colder and the snow outside the house was getting thicker and thicker. After warming up for a while, the children thanked Jiang Yan and went home together.

In the next few days, several families in the village also slaughtered the New Year pigs one after another, but the snowstorm got worse, and the number of people who went to eat the pig-killing rice gradually decreased.

The mountains and forests in the distance are covered with thick piles of snow, and the winding path at the foot is a snow pit.

To be on the safe side, the village chief issued a notice in the end, telling everyone in the village to stay at home and not go out for a stroll, so as to avoid any accidents.

Seeing that the white snow outside the door was getting thicker and thicker, Jiang Yan's black eyebrows also frowned.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and fewer and fewer people in the village came out to wander around. Fortunately, she had the foresight from the beginning and prepared the New Year's goods early, otherwise there would be no way to go shopping in this weather.

What Jiang Yan is worried about is not that the winter snow will affect the Chinese New Year, but that the snow is too heavy and accumulates continuously throughout the winter. Linjia Village is almost surrounded by mountains. If there is an avalanche, it will be easily covered.

Qiao Le obviously knew Jiang Yan's worries. He walked to Jiang Yan's side in a few steps and followed her gaze to look outside at the endless white snow.

He whispered: "Don't worry. In previous years, it was snowing day and night like this. The snow cover is even deeper than it is now. The avalanche you are worried about should not happen."

Jiang Yan froze for a moment, surprise flashed in her eyes, when the first snow fell.

Like the children in the village, he was attracted by the pure white snowflakes, and he was even more addicted to the world covered in white.

At the beginning, he could happily play snowball fights and snowballs with Xiaodouzi and the others, but as the weather got colder, the snow in the yard on the eaves was getting thicker and thicker.

Her joyful mood became heavy, but as the Chinese New Year approached, she didn't tell her family about these worries.

This is the first real Chinese New Year for the Lin family. There is no need to starve or freeze, and there is no need to go to the mountains to find food during the Chinese New Year. Everyone is looking forward to this New Year.

And Jiang Yan also wanted to give them an unforgettable New Year.

She raised her eyes to look at Qiao Le, expressing emotion again for his carefulness and clear mind.

"The terrain of Lin Family Village is not too low, there is really something, the big guys also have a chance to buffer."

Qiao Le said this implicitly. The new house of the Lin family is extremely solidly built. In his opinion, even if there is an avalanche, the people living in it will be safe.

On the contrary, the villagers at the bottom of the mountain, most of their houses are old and dilapidated, and most of them are adobe thatched houses. If anything happens, they will be the most dangerous.

Jiang Yan lowered her eyes slightly, and her soft voice was full of admiration: "Mr. Qiao is so smart, you already know what it is before I say it."

"Hopefully I'm unfounded."

Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the snow scene outside the window again, feeling much better.

The corners of Qiao Le's mouth curled up slightly, and his gaze fell on Jiang Yan's side face vaguely.

Compared with before, Jiang Yan's appearance is more outstanding now. Although these days are busy, she still eats and drinks well. After winter, she spends all day in the house.

Not only is he rounder, but his complexion is also fairer and tenderer. He looks a few years younger than before, and his eyebrows are even more delicate and soft.

The snow outside the house was blown obliquely by the wind, and a few gusts of cold wind poured in through the slit-open windows, rolling up Jiang Yan's hanging sleeves, and shaking Qiao Le's long hair.

When Jiang Yan turned her head, what she saw was Qiao Le's eyes full of affection. She froze for a moment, and took a few steps back in shock.

She couldn't help but be dazzled by Qiao Lesheng's handsomeness after spending so much time together. Sure enough, you can never get tired of looking at a good-looking person.

Jiang Yan has always been thick-skinned, her eyes fell on Qiao Le's face, and seeing him still staring at her blankly, she felt uncomfortable for a while.

The smile at the corner of Qiao Le's mouth spread more and more, looking at Jiang Yan, she was holding a woman's hair, and there were a few traces of age between her eyebrows, but she didn't know why.

At this moment, he seemed to see a different Jiang Yan, her cheeks were reddish, her eyes dodged, against the backdrop of the white snow outside the house, she looked like beautiful jade slowly smudged with red.

"That...well, Xiaodouzi went to see the chicken cub, and I followed suit." Jiang Yan lowered her head, turned around and left quickly before Qiao Le could reply.

Qiao Le looked at the back of her running away in a bit of a panic, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the next second he turned around, he froze in place again.

His eyes fell on the lame leg that had shrunk to be a circle thinner than the other leg, his smiling eyes instantly turned cold, he sighed silently, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

In the warehouse, Xiaodouzi, who was wearing a red tiger suit, was rubbing his newly furred chick with his butt in his mouth.

"Xiaodouzi, you are so amazing. You raised all the chickens in the house, and now you have hatched so many chicks."

Xiao Shanzi's face was blushing with excitement, and he was holding two fluffy little yellow chickens in his hands, and he couldn't stop leaning on his cheeks.

"That's right, Grandma said, these little chicks are mine, and when they grow up, they can have a lot of eggs, and the eggs will hatch into chicks, and the chicks will continue to lay eggs when they grow up... We will always have Eat the eggs!"

The more Xiaodouzi talked, the more excited he became. He obviously just had lunch not long ago, and he couldn't help but smack his mouth out of greed.

Jiang Yan pursed her lips and smiled lovingly, closed the door gently, and picked up the chubby little Douzi.

"Yes, yes, our little bean is really promising. With the chickens and ducks you raise, we will never be short of eggs in the future."

"When these chickens grow up, there will be no shortage of meat to eat."

Xiaodouzi's big round eyes flashed, and he grinned at Jiang Yan's praise, and he tightly covered his mouth with his small hands.

The crisp little voice said excitedly: "Grandma, Grandma, mother said, if you can't finish eating, you can sell it for money. If you sell the money, all of it will be given to Grandma."

"Oh, my darling is so good, I know at such a young age that I will spend my money on grandma, let grandma kiss me."

The little guy had a cute face, and his eyes were full of Jiang Yan, which made Jiang Yan laugh for a while, and the little Douzi hugging her milk was like a cute kiss.
