Chapter 129 Heavy snow seals the door
“Really?” Ye Xin didn’t believe it.
"Of course it's true, let's go, I'll take you to see it." After saying that, he pulled Ye Xin and walked outside.
Five or six minutes later, Li Aimin and Ye Xin came in.
Then Ye Xin said to Li Jiaqi and Li Jialin: "You two take your underwear and follow me to take a shower."
"Mom, no, why take a bath in such a cold temperature?" the second sister said reluctantly.
She would be quite happy to go to the bath outside, but she really doesn't want to take a bath at home. To put it bluntly, she is afraid of the cold.
"Don't worry, it's not cold at all. It's warmer than the bath." After Ye Xin finished speaking, she went into the house and took out her clothes.
Seeing that my mother was determined to wash it, the second sister had no choice but to go back to the house to get clothes.
"How are you, Dad? Are you comfortable?" Li Jia asked as he sat down.
"It's comfortable, so comfortable. I feel like I must have slept very well tonight."
"That's right."
More than half an hour later, my mother came back with the eldest and second sisters. At this time, the second sister no longer said she was cold.
Chirping said: "I didn't expect that taking a bath at home is more comfortable than taking a bath in the bathtub."
"Yes! It turns out that the little brother built this thing for winter use! I always thought it was It’s used for bathing in the summer,” said the eldest sister.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back to bed!" Mom said.
“Oh!”
The eldest sister and the second sister agreed and went back to the house, but Li Jiayi couldn’t go back to sleep!
The stove in the sauna room is still burning. He is going to take a look. If it is almost burning, leave it alone. If it continues to burn for a long time, he must take out the coal and put it out.
Li Jiayi came out and took a look. Fortunately, there was less coal and it was almost finished.
In that case, don't worry about it, just go back to the house and sleep.
When he returned to the house, his father was clearing the fire from the fireplace.
This is to clean up several stoves. The fire is burning just right now. Put some in the stove, put coal on top, and the stove can start burning.
"Dad, there is no need to add it to the stove in my room."
"What! Don't you turn on the stove at night?" Dad asked.
"Well! It's not too cold yet. The eldest and second sisters can just burn it. The chimney just happened to pass through my house."
Hearing what he said, my father thought for a while and said, "That's okay. Let's wait until it gets colder." Burn it again.”
Because it is upstairs and downstairs, Li Jiayi and the eldest sister and the second sister use a chimney.
For now, it doesn't matter whether his stove is burning or not. Besides, he doesn't sleep outside at night.
Back in the room, Li Jia locked the door and entered the space directly.
Collect what needs to be collected first, and then start making the sled.
Heavy snow may be a headache for others, but it is a good thing for Li Jiayi.
The first thing is to draw the picture, which is not difficult for him.
The next step is to choose wood. Fortunately, there are many trees on the mountain, so just pick one.
According to the drawings, materials appeared in front of him one by one. After all, these were just a thought to him.
Soon after the materials were ready, he started assembling. The reason why he said assembling was because all he made was a mortise and tenon structure.
Soon a sled was put together, and Li Jia brought the remaining four dogs over and gave it a try. Not to mention, it worked very well.
After finishing this, Li Jiayi went to bed.
No words for a night.
Get up from bed early in the morning, do boxing first, then take a shower and change clothes, and then come out of the space.
Just when I came to the living room, I saw my parents sitting in the living room.
"Hey, Mom, is the food ready?" Li Jiayi asked.
"What are you doing! You are still cooking when you can't get out."
"What, you can't get out." Li Jiayi was still very regretful.
"Open the door and take a look."
Hearing what his mother said, Li Jiayi quickly went over to open the door, and then went to lift the curtain.
What puzzled him was that the curtain was stiff, so he quickly used his fingers to open a gap.
Only then did he understand why his mother said that the door could not be opened, because there was snow outside the gap.
I quickly tried going up again, but it was still snow. To know this position, it must be at least one meter and two meters above.
Li Jiayi quickly ran to his parents’ room and looked out of the window.
Good guy, the whole yard is covered with snow. Looking at the height, it must be more than one meter thick.
Back in the living room, the living room has become warm. It seems that my parents have just gotten up, and the fireplace must have just been lit.
"Dad, why don't you go out and shovel the snow?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Isn't it just time to get up? Wait until the room is warm before going back."
Fortunately, Li Jia put a shovel into the house yesterday, otherwise the shovel would be all in one piece Trouble.
When the heat came up in the house, Li Aimin took a shovel and started shoveling the snow, starting from the door of course, and only shoveling a path out.
Otherwise I won’t even be able to get out.
"Mom, it's snowing so heavily, are you still going to work today?"
"I don't know! The factory didn't say you won't go to work today." Ye Xin frowned explain.
"No, how can we go to work when it's snowing so heavily?" Ye Xin looked at the door and said, "Look at others! If others go, your dad and I will go. If others don't go, We won’t go either.”
“Yeah!”
For about half an hour, Li Aimin finally cleared a path leading to the kitchen.
It’s just that the trail is a bit narrow, just enough for one person to pass, but there’s nothing we can do about it, the snow is too thick, and there’s no place to pile snow.
Just shoveling the snow on top of the snow on both sides of the trail. To be honest, shoveling the snow like this is almost the same as not shoveling at all.
As soon as Li Jia came outside, he looked at the snow on the left and right and realized that his height was about the same thickness as the snow.
In other words, he was walking on this path and couldn't see anything on both sides, which made him speechless.
I originally planned to go out for a walk today and try out his sled, but it seemed impossible.
"Brother Li." Liao Kai's voice came from outside the hospital.
"What's the matter, Xiao Kai?" Li Aimin asked.
"Are you still going to work today? I've been shoveling snow for a long time, but I haven't shoveled it to your door yet."
This door refers to the front door, and Liao Kai's home is not far from the front door of Li Jia's family, so It's just a little farther than going from the main room to the kitchen.
“I don’t know either! We’ll see later! I don’t know if anyone has cleaned up the snow on the road outside.” Li Aimin said.
In fact, it would be much more convenient for Liao Kai than Li Jia’s family if they didn’t go out.
At the very least, you don’t have to go outside to cook. Of course, this is assuming there is enough water in the house.
Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome, because the faucets are now under the snow and cannot be seen from the outside.
Even if it were dug out, it would probably freeze to death, and it would be very troublesome to get the water out.
On the contrary, it is the Li Jia family. Both the main room and the kitchen have faucets, and they have also been heated.
"Okay! Then I'll go back and cook first, and then we'll talk about it after dinner." Liao Kai said.
“Hmm!”
In fact, Liao Kai is not the only one in the courtyard who cares about this issue. You must know that except for a handful of companies in No. 7 Courtyard, the rest have people working in factories.
Back in the house, after thinking for a while, Li Jiayi returned to the room, then opened the door and entered the space.
The sled cannot be used for the time being, and I don’t know if skis will work.
No way, he didn't dare to walk on the snow. If he fell in, he probably wouldn't be able to climb out.
Who makes him short? In particular, there are ditches on both sides of some roads. Now it is estimated that the ditches outside are filled with rivers.
If you accidentally deviate from the main road and fall into a ditch, you will be in trouble.
Soon the two skis were formed, and Li Jia gave it a try. Not to mention, he did a pretty good job.
Then I made two longer sticks, each with a base of about ten centimeters in diameter.
This is to prevent it from being inserted directly into the snow, but I don’t know how effective it will be.
Li Jiayi came out of the house with his skis and two sticks in his arms. Not only that, he also changed into clothes.
Yes, not only did he wear his leather jacket, but he also wore a goose down jacket underneath. He would definitely not feel cold anymore.
"Dad, come here and help me."
"What did you do with this?" Li Aimin asked looking at the things Li Jiayi carried out.
"You'll know in a moment. First, carry me on top of the snow."
"You brat, what are you doing on top of the snow? You're not afraid of falling into the snow."
"You won't fall in." After speaking, Li Jiayi threw the skis onto the snow.
With the help of his father, Li Jiayi easily stepped on the skis and tied his feet.
It’s really good. Although the snow is very soft now, the weight-bearing area of the skis is large! It didn't push the snow down much.
I tried it with a stick, and it was no problem, but it was a bit difficult, which is normal. There is no slope, so it's like sliding on a flat surface.
As long as I can, at least I can go out.
It's a pity that Li Jiayi couldn't go out and stayed at home all day. It wasn't that he didn't want to go out, but his mother wouldn't let him.
Yes, my parents didn’t go to work either. It is estimated that no one will go to work today.
The whole day, the entire No. 7 courtyard was clearing snow, such as Li Jia’s family. The snow in the entire east courtyard was cleared to the west side of the small courtyard, behind Liao Kai’s house.
Anyway, I can finally walk in the yard.
What makes people speechless is that just after cleaning up here, it started raining again.
I don’t know what will happen tomorrow. If it’s still the same as today, I’ll be in big trouble.
To be honest, just last night, no one knew how many houses collapsed in the entire imperial capital. If it happens again, it will probably be more serious.
"Son, what do you want to eat at night?" My mother asked when I was in the dark.
"I can do anything, but Mom, why not eat some hot pot today." Li Jiayi said while looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window.
“Eating hot pot? But there is nothing at home!”
Li Jia looked at the thin layer of snow that had just been cleared outside and said, "Leave this to me, I will solve it."
After speaking, Li Jia put on his leather jacket and ran outside.
The entire No. 7 courtyard has been cleared, but there are many large snowdrifts in the courtyard.
There is nothing we can do about it, because there is no place to put all this snow! It's the same even on the road outside.
Large snowdrifts piled up on the roadside. Fortunately, it did not affect walking.
