The temperature this year was colder than last year, but because of the early preparations, it did not cause as much damage as last year.
From the second day of the Lunar New Year, more and more people visit relatives and friends, stepping on skis, carrying a bag, most of which are homemade steamed white flour steamed buns, and a pack of peaches if the condition is better Crisp or Mahua, these two kinds of dim sum are easier to make and last longer. Since the dim sum shop in the safety zone opened, these two items have been the best sellers.
Xiao Zhijun's family also came to Xiao Wu's house as guests this day. Besides dim sum, they brought sliced ??cakes and a piece of meat. Although Xiao Wu's family didn't lack these things, they couldn't come here empty-handed, right? You still have to have the dignity you deserve, even if it's for outsiders to see!
"It's really getting better and better!" The old lady and her aunt sighed while sitting on the side: "When we were young, we used to bring white flour steamed buns when we visited during the Chinese New Year. We are used to carrying a carton of milk and two cartons in the supermarket. After drinking, it suddenly returned to the past, and white flour steamed buns have become a good thing to visit relatives and friends again, you say."
Auntie shook her head: "It's a good thing that life can go on! We can still eat white flour steamed buns. You haven't seen those people who came from the north a few years ago. Listen to how difficult their life is! I heard it's safe. The district sent people to look around to see if they could find those who got separated, but there is no news yet.¡±
All those people stayed in the safe area. It is not a big deal to settle a dozen people in such a large safe area. They are also diligent, and as soon as they settle down, they work hard to do some jobs within their ability to earn points. Every day before dawn, they can be seen carrying shovels and brooms to sweep the snow.
These people are very good at taking care of cattle and sheep. Xiao Wu also hired two women who are not in good health to help take care of the family's cattle and sheep. He originally planned to help them a little, but these two women are worthy of herdsmen. They are really good at cattle and sheep, and several calves and lambs born in the cold weather survived smoothly under their care.
"Gina! Gina!" Inside the room, they were sitting and talking with the hot kang by the stove, when suddenly a panting man rushed in from outside: "Hurry up and go back! Your man and grandma have been found! waiting for you!"
The woman who was preparing fodder for the cattle and sheep was stunned for a moment, her lips were trembling and she could hardly speak, but it was Qin Sheng who pushed her: "Don't be dazed, go home quickly, this is a happy event !"
Only then did Gina come to her senses, and ran out as fast as she could. The big men who came to report the news were not as fast as her.
The search outside the safe zone for many days has finally yielded results. Another team of herdsmen who were separated was found. When they were found, the situation was worse than that of Gina and the others. Many people had already suffered from frostbite. , The soldiers sent him to the hospital directly after they got him back.
"New year, new atmosphere!" Qin Sheng put the remaining fodder into the trough for the cattle and sheep, and entered the house with a smile: "There will be good news when the Chinese New Year is celebrated. This year must be very good!"
As if to prove her words, this year's New Year's Eve ended amidst laughter and laughter. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the safety zone even held a Lantern Festival and a dragon and lion dance performance. Both the dragon and the lion were handmade, and their shapes and colors were not very good-looking, even ugly, but people were still very happy to see them.
This happiness is not for performance, but for the hope of living.
When the weather gets warmer and the snow starts to melt, the people who have spent the whole winter will start to get busy. As in previous years, they will first transport the snow to places like reservoirs and lakes. With the experience of Xiaojiazhai last year, The safe zone has prepared reservoirs and cisterns in all directions early on, just to store snow and use it as a water source when necessary.
The wild vegetables hidden under the snow are exposed to people's eyes. The adults are busy removing the snow and sending it to the reservoir, while the children dig wild vegetables with baskets in groups. Occasionally, if you are lucky, you can catch a hibernating rabbit or Snake, Xiao Zhijun has already compiled a part of the edible animal and plant atlas. After the safety zone learned about it, it attached great importance to this matter, and specially arranged for a painter to draw the animal and plant patterns and bind them into a book.
Then almost every household distributed a copy, asking people to read more and identify what can be eaten and what can't be touched.
Xiao Zhijun's words that seemed to be bragging at first turned out to be true. He actually wrote a book that everyone circulated! Undoubtedly, he was greatly encouraged, and decided to make persistent efforts, like Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs, and Li Shizhen compiled "Compendium of Materia Medica", doing something that will make him famous forever.
This year's spring plowing is hosted by the government, which is much easier than last year, and there is no need to rely on manpower or animal power to do it like last year.??
Zhao Meigui rushed over angrily, holding the corner of her skirt: "Duanzi! Xiangxiang! Look at what you have done!"
Her wedding dress was originally in the style of a one-shoulder mermaid skirt, with a small skirt at the back, which was very beautiful, but now the skirt is not only covered with panda paw prints, but also bitten by two curious two rolls. look like.
The dumpling licked its paws, bah! Seeing how closely she stared at it, she thought it was something good, but after taking two bites, she realized that it wasn't tasty at all!
Qin Sheng looked at the tattered and dirty skirt on the edge, and coughed with a smile: "How about we cut off the bottom part and change it into a short skirt?"
What's the matter with a family that doesn't have a brat, since I chose to be the mother of these two brats, I have to endure the brat's demeanor! You know, these two are really - bear kids! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
