Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 79 No.90 Three The World Buried by Heavy Snow
Mother Qiao kept the bean pods on the ground, "Don't peel them, let's dry them first, and then we'll talk after drying." She stood up, picked up the bag, and dumped all the soybean clips inside on the ground.

Father Qiao and Qiao Miwei also got up and dumped the others on the ground, using a fork to spread out the soybean clip.

Mother Qiao took out another bag and put it at the two of them's feet, "Don't peel the soybeans, let's peel the beans."

The beans were sun-dried before the heavy snowfall, and it was the right time to chop them. The beans in the beans were all big ones, and after only half-cutting, they made a small bag. Mother Qiao picked out the big ones specially. The ones are kept and ready to be planted next year.

The whole family went out to Taoyuan to rest around ten o'clock. When Qiao Miwei woke up the next morning, she found that the bed was still warm, and the kang was also warm. She stretched happily, got up and dressed, and when she washed her face He directly picked up the kettle on the stove and poured water, the water in it was even a little hot.

After washing, Qiao Miwei went out to see how heavy the snow was falling outside, but she pushed the door twice and failed to open it. She leaned on the crack of the door and looked, but she didn't see anything except snow. Could it be that the snow had already fallen as thick as a person? up?
The glass on the roof of their house has hardly been left since the earthquake. Qin Zhiyuan gave them some pieces of tarpaulin when repairing the house, and they simply covered the roof.

The tarpaulin is not as good as glass, it neither blocks the wind nor transmits light, so the yard is always gray, and you can't see the outside. She was shivered by the cold wind blowing in through the crack of the door, and hurried back with her arms folded. After leaving the house, Qiao's parents and Qiao's mother had already woken up and were taking a shower. Qiao Miwei said to them, "I don't know how much snow has fallen outside, and the door can't be opened."

Father Qiao said, "Your mother and I also experienced such a heavy snow when we were young. The snow was as high as a house, and even the windows were covered. People were blocked in the house and couldn't get out."

Qiao Miwei asked curiously, "Then you waited until the snow melted before going out?"

Qiao's mother said, "It's impossible. If you are hungry, you will starve to death. Your father was thin at that time. He tore down the top window, leaned on the window and dug a hole in the snow, and crawled out of the hole."

Father Qiao said, "At that time, I didn't feel cold when I was young. I cleared the snow outside the door by myself. At least I could open the door. Then I shoveled a path wide for one person to the gate of the courtyard. I went to the side. That family shoveled snow for them, and their clothes got wet after a busy day."

Mother Qiao laughed and said, "That's right. At that time, each person wore cotton-padded clothes. When they got wet, they had nothing to wear and could only lie in bed. At that time, every family was poor. I remember that there was a family of brothers in our village who only wore cotton-padded clothes. Who will wear it when going out?"

Qiao Mi was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Really?!"

Mother Qiao cleaned up and went out to cook, "That's right."

Father Qiao thought about it later and said, "No matter how hard it was at that time, it was more interesting than it is now."

Qiao's mother turned her head and gave Qiao's father a blank look, "Then you go back." After saying that, she went out, Qiao Mi smiled slightly after listening.

Suddenly there was a bang sound from the backyard, which startled the two of them. They ran out quickly and looked at the back door.

All the snow above dumped into the yard at once, blocking the yard in an instant.

Now Qiao Miwei finally saw how heavy the snow was outside. It was really heavy snow. The snowflakes fell in large pieces, covering the original snow in a few minutes, and even the thatch was invisible.

This is good, there is so much more work for nothing, Qiao Miwei put on his coat and gloves and is ready to go out to shovel snow.

At this time, Qin Zhiyuan's voice came from the front, "Wei Wei, Wei Wei, are you awake?"

Qiao Miwei quickly put down the shovel and ran to the front yard, shouting, "Get up, what's wrong?"

"I cleared the snow in front of your house, you push the door and push the snow away from the door."

"Oh." Qiao Miwei ran to the door and pushed it hard. It was indeed loose. She backed up a little, took a deep breath and pushed the door hard. It creaked and opened. Qiao Miwei didn't stand still and lay down When she arrived on the snowdrift, the snowflakes got into her neck and she was so cold that she shivered.

Qin Zhiyuan was startled by the sudden figure, and when he found out that it was Qiao Miwei, he stepped forward to help her up funny, "Get up quickly, don't get your clothes wet."

Qiao Miwei stood up with his support, patted the snowflakes on his body, and looked up to see the thick snow wall, "My God, it's snowing so much."

Qin Zhiyuan nodded, raised his hand to measure the height of the heavy snowfall and his own size, and finally admitted defeat, "The other side of the camp is buried. Fortunately, your house is built in a mountain depression, which can block the wind."

"thank you."

"Thank you, you go back quickly, I'll clear the snow at your door so it doesn't freeze." Qin Zhiyuan said to chase people away.

Qiao Miwei said, "Don't do it, anyway, I don't plan to go out in such a heavy snow, it doesn't make any difference whether I do it or not."

Qin Zhiyuan pushed Qiao Miwei's arm, "Okay, I'll fix this door so that I can bring you water every day. You can go back."

At this moment, Sun Ying came out from the backyard with a basket in his hand and saw Qin Zhiyuan smiling and nodding, "Zhiyuan is here, thank you, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to open the door."

Qin Zhiyuan waved his hand, "Why are you thankful for this, hey, where did you get this basket of snow?"

Sun Ying pointed to the backyard and said, "The thatch has fallen, and there is snow in the backyard, go out and clean it up."

Qin Zhiyuan carried a shovel into the door and went straight to the backyard, "Let me see if the snow is too thick and collapsed?"

Qiao Miwei said, "Go and do your work, we can do the work in my house by ourselves."

Qin Zhiyuan ignored it, walked to the backyard in a few steps, looked up, half of the roof collapsed, and half of the other thatch also collapsed, he put the shovel on the wall beside him, and climbed along the yard wall of the chicken coop He climbed up, looked at it for a long time, and said to Qiao Miwei, "The thatch is not damaged, and it can be used." After saying that, he jumped down and began to pull the tarpaulin. Qiao Miwei hurried up to help, and Sun Ying was carrying When the empty basket came back, he saw two people pulling the tarpaulin there, so he quickly put down the basket to help, the three of them pulled out the tarpaulin, Qin Zhiyuan said, "Let's go to the wall and put it back."

Sun Ying nodded, Qiao Miwei moved a stool over and put it on the side of the wall, Sun Ying stepped on the stool and climbed up, and Qin Zhiyuan was also on the wall, Qiao Miwei handed the tarpaulin to the two of them from below, and put the hammer The nails were handed over to the wooden strip, and the two of them nailed it with a bang bang bang bang. Qiao Mi looked at it for a while, then picked up the shovel next to it, filled the snow into the basket and carried it out.

After a while, Father Qiao came out fully dressed, and shoveled snow with Qiao Miwei, and then Yu Yawen also came out. There were more people, and the speed of snow shoveling became faster. By the time Mother Qiao called for dinner, the snow in the backyard had already More than half of it was cleared.

Seeing Qin Zhiyuan jumping off the wall, Mother Qiao said with a smile, "Xiao Qin is here, I said how did the door open, have you eaten yet, come in and have something to warm up."

Qin Zhiyuan patted the snow rubbed on his body, and readily agreed, "Hey, you don't have to eat other people's food, but auntie's food must be eaten, and today I am lucky again."

As they talked, everyone entered the house. Breakfast was already set on the dining table. The porridge with steamed bean paste and steamed buns, the bean paste stuffing was made from the green beans peeled by the three of them last night, boiled, crumbled and added with white sugar. The porridge is very nutritious Preserved egg porridge with lean meat and green vegetables. The preserved egg was made by Qiao’s mother before. Although it is a bit early to eat at this time, it is almost enough. The porridge is more than enough. , cook in a pressure cooker for 10 minutes, side dishes are sweet and sour garlic and pickled crispy cucumber.

As soon as Qin Zhiyuan was on the table, he immediately grabbed a red bean paste bun, took the porridge bowl handed over by Qiao's mother, and started eating with his head buried.

After breakfast, Qin Zhiyuan helped the troops who returned after getting all the snow out of the backyard. Mother Qiao couldn't help but said to Qiao Miwei, "Xiao Qin is really nice."

Qiao Miwei just smiled and didn't speak.

The weather has been really cold recently, and a thick layer of frost has hung on the walls of their living room. Although the heating is very hot every day, it is just useless. A glass of water in the living room can be frozen into ice the next day In the end, Father Qiao decided not to burn the fire in the living room, so as to save a waste of coal. Qiao Miwei had no objection, and after draining all the water in the radiator, the living room ceased fire.

During the day, Mother Qiao took apart the old quilts and clothes and washed them again. The cotton cores that could be used were put together to make quilts again, and the whole family was replaced with thick quilts. It was much warmer to sleep at night, but Waking up early the next day, she found that the bedroom was also shivering from the cold. Qiao Miwei thought it was because the fire in the stove had gone out, so she stretched out her hand to touch the kang, and it was still hot. I sneezed twice, my god, why is it so cold?She ran to the door and looked at the thermometer, it was more than 20 degrees below zero!This is indoors, the temperature outside may be even lower.

After breakfast, Mother Qiao dug out more old quilts and old clothes to wrap up the walls of the room and blocked the windows, which made her feel better, but the ground was still cold, so the whole family stayed in the room during the day. Picking wheat on the heated kang, the wheat in Taoyuan was first dried in the sun for two days after being harvested, and now it is not so wet, so Mother Qiao collected the wheat, but when harvesting, a lot of wheat straw and stones were mixed into it , They have no tools and can only pick them manually.

Once the wheat is picked, it can be ground into flour with a stone mill. Qiao's family loves to eat pasta, so there are a lot of wheat grown, and it took several days just to pick it.

This morning, before Qiao's house got up, she heard the noise outside. She got dressed and went to the door to have a look. It turned out that someone from the army was shoveling snow in full swing. She stopped a soldier and asked, "Why?" Snow shoveling this early in the morning?"

Xiao Bing said, "The supplies have arrived. There are a lot of good things. Now it's snowing too much and the roads are closed. We have to shovel the snow to get in." He joined the ranks of shoveling snow.
