Chapter 140 Snow Sweeping

Xia Chan also told them some common ways to eat cassava and taro. As for yams, they can be bought outside, so she didn't need to tell them how to eat them.

Xia Chan also asked the principal for the home addresses of other teachers in Class 1, Grade 2. If they were close, they would come to her door in person, but they were not far away. Some rented houses near the school. For Xia Chan's grades, They were very happy when the outstanding students arrived.

There were also two teachers from other places, but the distance was not particularly far, so Xia Chan sent the things there, but the fresh fish was replaced with dried salted fish, and a letter was also placed inside, telling them who she was. and how to eat cassava and taro.

Finally, before it started to snow, everyone who needed to run had run around, and the etiquette had been fulfilled. Xia Chan planned to take a good rest at home, but there was a big market at the end of the year, and Xia Chan also wanted to go out and see if there was anything on the big market. What a good thing, so I made an appointment with a few people from the production team to go to the market on the market day.

Who would have thought that when I woke up in the morning, the snow piles in the yard were half as tall as a person, making it impossible to go out.

At this time, everyone tacitly decided not to go to the market. After all, the snow was so deep that it was impossible to walk, even the people setting up stalls couldn't go. They had to wait.

After eating the hot dumplings, Xia Chan also planned to go out and clear the snow with her brothers, but she was pushed into the house to rest. After that, the three brothers went to clear the snow from the roof and woodshed first, although they are inspected and repaired every winter. , but the snow is too thick, so it still needs to be cleaned up in time.

After sweeping the snow on the roof, the brothers came to sweep the snow in the yard. It is not necessary to sweep all the snow in the yard, just clear the path for walking.

In fact, it’s okay not to sweep, but over time, the snow will be stepped on and it will become slippery, which will affect walking. They don’t want to fall and squat every day.

Xia Chan stood by the door curtain, "The snow has fallen so well this year. It should be a good harvest next year, right?"

"Who knows, we won't know until then." Xia Qi said. After all, no one thought that it would rain for such a long time in July this year. Who knows what will happen next year? It doesn’t depend on God’s help.

Although their family probably won't go hungry, if the year is bad, other people's families will go hungry. They don't want this to happen, they just hope that the weather will be good every year.

But it can't be this beautiful. There are not many years with good weather. Generally, it is either dry or flooded, and the possibility of dry weather is greater here, so they try to stock up on drought-tolerant grains as much as possible.

After her brothers cleared a path in the yard, Xia Chan went to the next door to feed the poultry and stuffed two sticks of firewood into the kang hole to ensure that the temperature in the house would not be too low, lest the poultry freeze to death. .

After the brothers swept the snow, they sweated all over their bodies. When they got home, they immediately wiped the sweat off with cotton cloths. They didn't want to get sick. Not only was it difficult to get sick, it was also very dangerous.

The family made a lot of dumplings some time ago, so when they were too lazy to cook, they just ate the dumplings.

Just after eating, the gong for a meeting rang in the village. It was enough for one person from the family to go. Xia Bin dressed up and went down the mountain for the meeting. He ran fast by himself and arrived at the brigade within thirty minutes. department.

The weather was so cold that most of the people who came were gay men, and some people came with lesbians.

After the meeting, everyone was asked to go home. "Brother, what are you talking about in the meeting?" Xia Bin walked in. Xia Chan handed him the ginger tea and asked curiously.

"Tomorrow everyone goes to shovel the snow on the road leading to the town. Bring your own water and dry food. There are twelve work points a day. Those who want to go can sign up with the scorekeeper. Those who don't want to go don't have to. Go and volunteer," Xia Bin explained after drinking the ginger tea, "I signed up."

Xia Chan nodded, "Okay, I will prepare food for you when you get up tomorrow morning. Don't be seen by others when you eat, so as not to miss our family."

"No need to prepare, just bring some dried sweet potatoes." Dried sweet potatoes can be either raw or cooked. Cooked dried sweet potatoes are made by steaming the sweet potatoes first, letting them cool, then cutting them into strips and drying them in the sun. Such sweet potatoes can be used as snacks. eat.

Xia Chan thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, then when you get back from work, we will make you some delicious food to compensate you."

When you go out, especially in crowded places, you really need to keep a low profile and not attract other people's attention, otherwise it will be bad for their family if there is a big fuss.

They are not afraid of one person, but what if it is the whole village?

At that time, they will definitely be forced to hand over the ways to make money, and they will also be blamed for not telling everyone about the ways to make money.

Although Xia Chan has handed over the method of raising rabbits to make money to the production team, human nature is greedy. If he knew that their family's conditions were good, it would be strange not to force them to death.

Xia Bin also knows the virtues of the production team members. Everyone usually has nothing to do, but once it involves interests, no one will let it go easily. This can be seen from the fact that so many people are separated.

After dark, when lighting the kerosene lamp, Xia Chan couldn't help but sigh, "The electricity has been turned on for almost a year, and it still hasn't been turned on. I don't know when it will be turned on again."

Preparations started before winter last year, but stopped when it started to freeze. Then in July this year, the heavy rain fell for so long that the city’s power supply system was cut off. The power supply bureau went to repair and rebuild again, and there was no one in the Yongan production team. I took care of it, and then it was delayed again in winter.

Xia Qi said, "It will definitely be connected next year. Many families in the village are building separate houses, and they also want to build the houses before the electricity is connected, so that it will not be troublesome to connect to the electricity. It can be said that it is a coincidence that they can split the money and have electricity next year." ”

"Yes, after the electricity is turned on to build a house, you need to find someone else to change the route. If you change the route one by one, people may not be willing to make the trip." Xia Chan nodded and said, "Fortunately, there are four households here, otherwise we would not know how to Can’t get electricity on!”

"Electricity will be available as long as you are in the village. It is impossible to miss our home just because we have a small family, not to mention that we do not have to pay the electricity bill when using electricity." The brothers all sat at the Kang table, waiting for Xia Chan to teach them.

"When our production team is powered on next year, we will probably have to power on other production teams. After all, they are all on the same line. But for some reasons, our production team is ranked first!" Jin Pengyuan said.

Xia Chan thought about it and said nothing. Of course, because they solved Liu Minmin, recovered the treasure for the country, and saved huge losses, the commune gave their production team the opportunity to give priority to power supply.

There are also tractors. There are only a few tractors in the entire commune, but in the end, their production team was rewarded with one. If it hadn’t been for this, if you wanted to drive a tractor, you would have to wait.
