Reborn 1960之巧女当家

Chapter 47 Preparation
Several children in the Xia family worked so hard to collect firewood with Xia Zhongguo, and soon high piles of firewood were piled up beside the fence in the yard and in the kitchen. It's the month.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Xia Zhongguo took the ladder and went up to the roof to see if there was anything that needed to be repaired. Wen Hao was below to help Xia Zhongguo hold the ladder.

Fortunately, the Xia family's house has only been newly built for a few years, and the tiles on the roof are in good condition. Xia Zhongguo took some dried and bundled straw and spread it on the roof.

The Xia family's house was newly built and there was no need to repair it for a few years, but didn't it mean that there would be a snowstorm in the future? Xia Zhongguo wanted to check his house, and if there were broken tiles, he could just replace them.

People in the village are busy repairing houses and collecting firewood. Fortunately, the firewood is usually used by the family, and it does not take much effort to go up the mountain every day to collect firewood. However, house repairs have really become a problem.

Although rural people only build a new house every few decades, it is because of this that the houses are very solid, but there are only a few families in the village with only widows and widows. The houses are relatively dilapidated.

If these houses still snow like in previous years, there will be no problem. It’s just that those houses that say that there will be snow disasters this year may not be able to hold on.

A few strong laborers went to the village to help those elderly households repair the houses, and the village head also discussed with other village cadres to reach the result.

The elderly from these households let them live in their own homes first, and if it really snows after ten days, let them temporarily move to the village committee's house for a while, anyway, even if it snows for a while, it will be overwhelming Don't collapse the house.

It was almost five or six days after the villagers finished collecting firewood and repairing the house. Looking at the cloudless weather, Xia Zhongguo had some doubts about the snow disaster.

"The weather is so good that there will be no snow disasters!"

"Who knows, the weather is uncertain. It's not uncommon for the sun to snow in the morning and snow in the afternoon. Let's be honest and prepare!" Wang Ximei took Xia Zhongguo to the private plot together. All the cabbage and radishes are collected.

There are only some cabbages and green vegetables left in the vegetable field. If it really snows, there is no problem to harvest them now. As for the bunch of cabbages collected, they need to be dried in the sun before they can be made into pickles.

After the villagers prepared their own firewood, they each notified their relatives and friends that there would be a snowstorm in ten days. Even if there is a snowstorm, they can't help. Now that they have notified, they can save a family!

Of course, the village head collected all the red papers and took them to the commune in the town. Although I don't know if those people will believe it, but as the village head, he must report this matter.

Otherwise, if something really happened at that time, he would definitely not be able to be the village chief after being investigated by the higher authorities, and he might have to go to jail.

If Xia Nuan knew what the village chief did, she must be glad that she has not reached WG yet and did not break the feudal ideology, otherwise the village chief would be in trouble.

The village head also brought a few villagers to help him testify. After hearing what the village head said, the cadres of the commune immediately thought it was a made-up story. How could such a thing happen? Nearly a thousand sheets of red paper, as well as the villagers who testified to the head of Dafeng Village, the commune officials had no choice but to believe.

In this day and age, the common people are so poor that they are almost unable to open their mouths. How can they afford so much red paper to use for pranks, so the commune cadres basically believed the words of the village head of Dafeng Village.

Xia Zhongguo hurriedly took some side dishes pickled by Wang Ximei, and hurried to the county town to talk to Xia Xiaocao about the snow disaster.

Xia Xiaocao didn't doubt Xia Zhongguo's talk about the snow disaster. Fortunately, there is collective heating in this city, and the two brothers Xia Zhongguo and Xia Jianguo just delivered food a few days ago.

She and Granny Yu took advantage of the good weather to wash and dry the quilt and clothes, and cleaned the house thoroughly, so that even if it snowed, they would be a little more comfortable.

They recruited the village chiefs of several villages in the commune and asked them to do a good job of preventing snow disasters. Of course, they changed the reason. It is still not suitable to spread the red paper on this day.

Of course, the cadres of the commune immediately reported the red paper and what happened in Dafeng Village. As for what kind of measures the county will take, they can't control it. They can only take care of the commune so that nothing happens to the commune. situation.

Xia Nuan didn't know what was going on in the county, but she knew that after the village head went to the commune, the surrounding villages also started to get busy.

Xia Zhongguo and Xia Jianguo went to see the old house. They were well prepared and there was nothing that needed help. Grandma Xia took the opportunity to ask the two brothers for food. Pension money and food were given together.

Of course, it is clearly stated that this is the food and money for filial piety this year, and Grandpa Xia also said that Grandma Xia said that there is no need to give extra money and food during the Chinese New Year.

It is impossible for the two brothers to ignore their parents, help repair the roof and do everything that needs to be done, and then go home when there is really no other place that needs help.

Xia Zhongguo did not bring any children with him this time, and Wang Ximei also knew that he wanted to go up the mountain to hunt some prey for the snowy weather, so there was no objection to him going up the mountain to hunt.

These days, Xia Nuan is either helping the family to collect firewood or helping Wang Ximei to clean up the house and dry the quilts and clothes. Every day at noon, when the family is resting, she has to go up the mountain to take care of the cubs and feed them.

Now that I have some free time, Xia Nuan is thinking about what to do when the snow disaster occurs. Cubs are felines who are particularly afraid of the cold. If it snows, it must be very cold for the cubs to stay in the cave, and the snow is heavy. Maybe going out, Zai Zai himself will starve to death if he doesn't know how to hunt.

After thinking of many ways, Xia Nuan felt that it was inappropriate. The snow disaster would mean that she could not go out for six or seven days. She was worried about letting a little tiger like Zai Zai stay alone on the mountain.

In the end, Xia Nuan decided to secretly take the cub home to raise him for a few more days, and wait until all the snow outside has melted before Xia Nuan secretly sent the cub back to the mountain.

The cabbage at home has been pickled, and some radishes have been made into pickled radishes, and others are left to eat. The principal of the village primary school said that if it really snows, the school will suspend classes first, and then go to school when it is possible to go to school.

There is only one day left before the time written on the red paper. Tomorrow is the time when the paper said that the snow disaster will start. Everyone in the village hastened to finish all the things that need to be done at home and in the field on this day. Will it really snow tomorrow as it says on paper, but the weather is really not as good as it was a few days ago, and it's starting to get cloudy.

In the past two days, Xia Zhongguo went up the mountain to hunt five pheasants, two hares, and a nest of wild eggs. Wang Ximei and Xia Zhongguo cleaned up the pheasants and hares before it snowed.

A pheasant was given to Lao Zhai and Xia Jianguo each, and the remaining three pheasants and hares are not afraid of spoiling in such a cold weather.

In the evening, Wang Ximei took a few wild eggs and made an egg drop soup for the family to drink. It was a long time since the last time I ate wild pork. I ate it, so this egg drop soup is also very popular.

After returning to the room, Xia Nuan took some shredded raw meat from the space for Zai Zai to eat. Although there was no snow today, anyone could clearly feel the temperature drop, and the kang at home was burning hot Don't worry about getting cold at all.

In Xia Nuan’s room, there is a small heated kang that can probably sleep two or three people, and there is also a wooden bed, which was prepared by Xia Zhongguo for Xia Nuan.

There is no way that in summer, Xia Nuan just likes to sleep on a wooden bed. As for Zai Zai, he dragged his sleeping nest to the edge of the kang to sleep after eating.

Who makes the kang warm? Cats like Zai Zai like to stay in warm places, and Xia Nuan doesn't care too much. Anyway, Zai Zai doesn't have fleas on her body. As long as she doesn't jump into bed, she doesn't plan to care too much. .

Xia Nuan, who was burning warmly on the kang, didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and fell asleep not long after lying on the kang.
