After retiring, she went to the countryside and was doted on by rough men

The others looked at each other.

"This matter is voluntary. Since they don't want to sweep the snow in their own nest, let's clear the road we should sweep and the snow in our own nest.

I can't force others to do this. If you have any opinions, you can make your own decisions.

After all, I am not acting officially, but my personal advice to you. "

Xia Zhi said to everyone very sincerely, after all, this matter is my choice, and she knows the consequences, but others don't. Many people really think that she is meddling in other people's business.

Although she knows this kind of experience most of the time, it is obviously not so easy to be recognized by others.

Not ready to be recognized by others.

That's how people are, if they don't suffer a loss, they won't know the consequences, and they will always feel that others are pointing fingers.

Liu Haidong, Zhao Hong and the others shook their heads,

"No, we listen to you during the summer solstice. We have nothing to do anyway, we just rest in the ground nest. We need books or newspapers here.

It's better to go out and do some work, so that you can move around and keep yourself warm.

That is, Comrade Xia Zhi, can I make a request for you? "

Liu Haidong approached with his face twisted.

"Nephew, what do you want to do?"

Liu Zhiyan had a cold face, looked at Liu Haidong and was a little annoyed when he saw his low-class appearance, but she could be regarded as his aunt after all.

"Auntie, don't be like this, I'm not a bad person, I just watch and smell the smell of food coming out of your and Xia Zhi's nest.

You also know who can cook when we are at home?

With my two knives, it is not easy to cook the rice well, but it is too difficult to make it delicious.

Since I lived here for a few months, I almost vomited after eating the meals I cooked myself, so I discussed whether we could have a fire.

You see how pitiful we two big men are. We have been hungry and thin for the past few months, and we will take a rest soon, and we cannot go to the canteen on the construction site to make a living.

We have to come back and cook by ourselves. We are willing to send the food over there, and we can work together, okay? "

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiyan waved her hands hastily,
"You can pull it down. Who will join you?

It's not like you don't know, Captain Zhou eats with us all every day, so you come here to take advantage of Captain Zhou's meal? "

Liu Haidong silently retracted his head, he forgot about Captain Zhou.

Forget that Captain Zhou has three meals a day, and reports from Diwozi on a regular basis.

Oh, what a pity.

"It's definitely not okay to eat on weekdays. You can only solve the cooking by yourself. It's not a matter of a day or two. If you really want to cook with us, I'm afraid we won't be happy.

After all, who wants to come back from work by himself, already tired, and cook for everyone?

Are you willing to put it on your body? "

Xia Zhi's smiling words immediately made Liu Haidong and Wang Zhiguo who lived with him shake their heads.

"That would definitely not be a pleasure."

"That's right, compare your heart with your heart, why do lesbians cook for you?
Even Liu Qianjin came to our place to help us fetch firewood and water. Usually, when we go out, he will protect us and do some physical work for us. "

"But we can do it too."

Liu Haidong felt that he could struggle a bit. Although Captain Zhou was strict, Captain Zhou couldn't stop others from cooking together.

"You really don't need to think about cooking. Although you can do it, Liu Qianjin has already covered the work for both of us. If you come, it will be a credit to Liu Qianjin.

In fact, cooking for two is not that difficult. If you encounter any problems in cooking and don’t understand, you can come to us and ask us, and we can also guide you.

And if there are only two of you, you can coordinate this relationship very well.

It's delicious to cook by yourself, and even if you marry a wife in the future, you can also use your good cooking skills to convince your daughter-in-law. "

When Liu Haidong heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, we're all here, why do you want to marry a wife?

We have more women than men here, so where can we get a wife? "

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and this matter was over.

Dozens of people began to sweep the snow in full swing.

The little comrades who came to inform them saw that everyone was working, and felt that the captain was really worrying too much. I don’t know why the educated youths were so easy to lead this time.

Compared with the educated youths in previous years, they have a lot less things to do, and they are very sensible. You see, the snow just fell for a long time, and they ran out to sweep the snow by themselves.

Zhou Zhengan naturally didn't take this kind of trivial matter to heart. Everyone spent the first snowfall like this. After the snow stopped and the north wind blew, the weather here entered a truly severe cold.

At the highest point, the temperature here can drop to minus 40 degrees.

Generally speaking, the temperature in the nest is not bad. After all, the height of the nest is not enough, and there is a fire wall inside, which is airtight. Overall, the heat preservation ability is still good.

The educated youths also huddled in their dens, and no one wanted to go out.

But the saddest thing is that you have to go out to collect firewood every ten days and a half months. If you don't collect firewood, the temperature of the nest can't last.

Who can afford charcoal these days?Everyone is using local materials.

On this day, Xia Zhi and Liu Zhiyan were dressed thickly, wearing scarves and hats, and went out to chop wood with gloves and an axe.

The splint on Liu Zhiyan's arm has been removed, and after being checked by the health staff, she is recovering well.

Basically the arm can be restored as before.

It's just that three months have not yet arrived for a broken tendon and bone in the normal sense.

But doing basic housework is still fine. This time I went out to chop wood with Xia Zhi, of course it wasn't her who did the chopping.

She was responsible for carrying the firewood, even if she came back with a bundle of firewood on her back, it would lighten everyone's burden a little.

Now they get along well with Liu Haidong and Zhao Hong, and every time they cut firewood, more than a dozen of them go together.

In this way, there are many people and great strength.

Male comrades are responsible for chopping firewood, while female comrades are responsible for carrying firewood.

Basically, male and female partners are not tired of working.

And it can also ensure safety. If you go out, you are not afraid of encountering wild animals.

They have to go out quickly, the weather is gloomy, and it won't take a long time, maybe it will snow again.

In order to avoid going out for a few days after the snow, they went to collect firewood in advance.

Walking out of the den, I saw other people as expected.

Everyone chatted and laughed, and walked directly towards the reeds. The reeds are good in winter, and the ground is frozen hard, even those muddy swamps will be frozen hard.

In winter, this is obviously the best place to chop firewood. Besides those reeds, there are more Haloxylon firewood near the reed marshes.

In view of the wetness of the soil here, Haloxylon grows very luxuriantly here.
