    Because she wanted to make fragrant fish roe pot, Aunt Liu came to Xin Hu to ask for advice on how to make it, and also asked her to order some soybean paste.

    At this time, it was not completely dark yet.  The snow has been falling, but because of the light from the snow, it looks like daytime, still quite bright.

    "Hey, I don't know how many days it will snow." Dalang said with some worry.

    He is always afraid that there will not be enough food and firewood at home, and that everyone will starve to death and freeze to death.  Although most of the yard's firewood has been stored, even the empty room has several bundles of branches piled up.  The food is really not enough, but when the weather is cold and there is no need to work, we will consume less. Eat sparingly and eat five or six portions, which is barely enough.  But when it snowed, it would snow heavily for several days in a row. If the snow was too heavy, he would not dare to go out at all. He also planned to ask Aunt Liu to go into the mountains to see if he could find some game.

    We don¡¯t have enough food at home, so if we get more meat, we can save some staple food, and we¡¯ll have more fat in our stomachs, which is better for everyone.  Although I can eat a few pieces of meat every day now, how can I withstand eating that little meat? I am afraid that when it is the coldest time and the food is scarce, I can only eat boiled radishes in plain water.

    "Come on, come on, I feel at ease when I get off." Xin Hu said.

    "What are you worried about?" Dalang asked in confusion.

    "It's going to snow anyway. Instead of worrying about it all the time, it's better to make sure it starts snowing soon. Maybe, after the heavy snow, it will be spring." Xin Hu said with a smile.

    Dalang laughed dumbly, being led by Xinhu's far-fetched reason to wonder if winter was really going to be over soon.

    Even Aunt Liu couldn't help but said happily: "Ah Hu, what a mouth! How can winter pass so soon?" As she said that, she counted with her fingers and said in surprise: "Oh, it's only ten years ago."  It's the 20th of the month, and there are still more than two months before the Chinese New Year. Winter is still very long."

    "What? October 20? There is also the winter month and the twelfth lunar month." Xin Hu himself counted on his fingers and was stunned.  There are three months of winter, twelfth and twelfth lunar month in the lunar calendar, which are also the coldest three months of the year in her hometown.

    ¡°Mom, it¡¯s so cold, and it¡¯s still October.  It has been winter since she came to this world and found this body, so cold.  Who would have thought that it has been a month or two and it is only October 20th.  The remaining winter months, twelfth lunar month, and even the first lunar month may be even colder.  There are at least three months of cold winter left, and now the firewood at home is really not enough.  It's cold, so obviously more firewood will be burned.

    Not to mention that Xin Hu was stunned, even Aunt Liu and Dalang also realized that the cold winter is still here.

    "Ouch, we should collect more firewood. What should we do now?" Aunt Liu said anxiously.  Her house only has half a yard of firewood piled up.  Most of them are wet branches.

    ¡°We¡¯ll go out to collect firewood tomorrow while the snow is light. Otherwise, we can wait until the snow freezes to solidify before we go out to collect firewood?¡± Dalang made two suggestions.

    Aunt Liu didn't say anything. Xinhu and Dalang discussed it and decided to wait until the snow solidified before going out. Because it was snowing and the ground was wet, it was easier to get your shoes wet than on the ice. People would get cold, so it was better to just go out.  Wait for the snow to freeze solid before going out.

    In fact, Aunt Liu, Da Lang, and Xiao Shitou all have anti-freeze thick-soled boots, but Xin Hu does not. The pair she wears on her own feet have long been useless. The only two pairs of shoes she has now are those she picked up.  They were ordinary single shoes, but it was already very cold on such a day. She had to wrap an extra layer of cloth around her feet to barely keep them warm.

    When she thought of boots, she made up her mind to ask Aunt Liu to help her make a pair of boots. At least she had to teach her to make a pair of boots for herself. Otherwise, she would not even dare to leave the door this winter.

    The next day, everyone slept in at home.  In the morning, Xinhu and Dalang both woke up once. When they thought they didn't have to work, they simply closed their eyes again, and fell asleep again after a while. They slept until almost noon before waking up again.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know what it¡¯s like outside?¡± Xin Hu lazily put on his clothes slowly and said.  As soon as this person takes a break, he becomes lazy.  Firewood had been added to the kang before, but it was still warm now, so the room was not very cold. Xin Hu put on his coat, went to the ground to pick up a handful of firewood and threw it into the kang.  Ping'er and Dabao were still sleeping soundly.  When they came together, they lost the heat of the two older children, and the two children rolled together.

    "Hurry up and get dressed, be careful not to get cold." Dalang muttered, quickly put on his clothes and got off the kang.

    "It's snowing a lot. It's still falling. I wonder how many days it will rain?" Xin Hu said, shrinking his shoulders and feeling cold again.  The whole yard has turned white, and the piles of firewood are all covered with a layer of snowflakes.  The snow layer is not too thick, and mud can be seen on the ground.

      Dalang took a homemade simple broom and started sweeping the snow. He had to clear the path in the middle of the yard first, otherwise he would have to step on snowflakes to go to the kitchen.

    Xin Hu ignored the snow and walked directly to the kitchen.  The kitchen room is obviously cooler, and the temperature in the main room will be higher because the kang is burning.  She finally made a fire and was about to scoop some water to boil. As a result, the water in the bucket actually froze.

    "Hey, it's so cold, I'm afraid I can't go out to fetch water. Should I just use snow?" Xin Hu shouted.

    "Snow can also be used, so what are you afraid of? In this snowy day, everything else is lacking, but there is no shortage of water." Dalang said with a smile.  He also asked her to throw out the empty bucket and catch the snow outside.

    "Then just wipe your face with snow." Xin Hu said angrily, making Da Lang choked. He didn't know what to say for a long time.  He threw the broom away in anger, grabbed a handful of snow, and wiped it on his face.  Not to mention, except for the ice on my face when I first applied it, it was no big deal afterwards.  I grabbed a few handfuls of snow and wiped my face clean.

    Xin Hu didn¡¯t know that his joke would make Dalang really wipe his face with snow in the future.

    While Xinhu was cooking, Ping'er and Dabao also woke up.  The two of them ran towards the kitchen, laughing and joking.

    Xin Hu opened the back door of the kitchen, and a gust of cold wind blew in, making everyone shiver.

    "It's so cold." Ping'er shouted, pulling Dabao to the latrine.

    "There's still snow to be cleared over the latrine." Xin Hu shouted to Dalang quickly.

    They had also gone to the hut in the morning. The snow cover there was thicker and it was further away from the main house after all.  It turned out that the back door of the kitchen was sealed, and you had to go out through the front door to get to the hut. They thought it was troublesome, so they opened the back door again.

    "I know." Dalang responded lazily, picked up the broom, opened the back door and left.

    After a while, Ping'er shouted from a distance with a trembling voice: "Hurry up and open the door."

    Xinhu opened the door, and the two children ran in with a roar.  Dabao had short legs and was wearing too many clothes. He fell to the door with a thud.

    ??

    "Hurry up, wash your face, it's time to eat." Xin Hu lifted him to the door of the stove and asked him to light the fire.  Get water to wash him.

    After a while, the porridge in the pot was cooked, Dalang also finished cleaning, and the family of four gathered around the door of the stove to drink porridge.

    "Ping'er and Dabao, please stop running around outside. It's cold outside. You two should play at home." After finishing the porridge, Dalang told the two younger children not to go out. Not only was it cold outside, but he was also afraid that they would get their clothes wet.  Who wants to wash clothes on a cold day, and after the clothes are washed, they have to be dried before they can be dried.  Besides, everyone doesn¡¯t have much change of clothes.  The clothes I washed the previous few times were hung for a few days to drain away the moisture, and then dried slowly.

    "Okay." Ping'er and Dabao agreed obediently.

    Having eaten.  Dalang and Xinhu began to sweep the snow in front of the gate. They couldn't let the snow block the gate. They had to sweep it every day.

    While the two were sweeping, they saw Aunt Liu also coming out to sweep the snow with small stones.

    The two families were only about twenty meters apart. After scanning the door of their own house, the two families swept towards each other's house, and slowly met in the middle.

    In a village, there are only two families who must go to and from each other, and this road must be cleared of snow every day.

    "Where are Ping'er and Dabao?" Xiao Shitou asked.

    "You're at home, you go to our house to play." Dalang said.

    "Go." Aunt Liu smiled, and then Xiao Shitou put down the broom and ran away with a smile.

    "Be careful, don't fall, and be careful not to get your boots wet." Aunt Liu shouted behind him.

    "Okay." Xiao Shitou responded and ran away without looking back.

    After resting at home for a day, everyone had nothing to do. Apart from clearing the snow, they had nothing serious to do.  Xin Hu was free this time, so he took the three thick jackets to Aunt Liu's house and planned to ask Aunt Liu to teach her how to dismantle the three big clothes and sew them into a quilt.

    Now that the weather is getting colder, the big clothes covering the four of them are not enough. If these three big clothes can be turned into one big quilt, it will be more comfortable to sleep at night.  Moreover, this thin quilt can be used when the weather gets hot. It can be said that this quilt can be used all year round.  Because their house didn¡¯t have a single quilt.

    If they didn¡¯t have a kang burning, they still needed mattresses.  Now it's just a matter of spreading some hay on the kang, putting a few rags on top, and then just lie down on it and sleep.  From time to time, just because he turned over, the clothes underneath were scattered, and grass would roll all over the body.

    Now that I have free time, I should not only sew quilts at home, but also preferably sew bedsheets.  Therefore, Xinhu took a few pieces of very shabby clothes and the three thick jackets to Xiao Shitou's house.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?If the clothes underneath are scattered, the person will be covered with grass.
