Quick Transmigration: The Harvest God, I'm Very Busy

Chapter 291 Survival in the End Times (38)

Qinghun stayed at home, opened the gate with Xixi and Beibei, and swept the snow in the courtyard.

About five meters in front of her house is an east-west river, the river is more than four meters wide, and a row of peach and willow trees are planted beside the river. Across the river is a river beach about ten meters wide. Ye Liu.To the south is a river embankment. After crossing the embankment, there is a large east-west beach about 500 meters wide. It used to be a drainage river beach, and grain was usually grown there. Going south, it is a drainage river.

Qinghun's plan is to build a snow and ice wall along the opposite bank of the river in front of her house on the beach across the river from her house, so as to save people from entering the village from the embankment on the opposite bank in the future.

At the moment of sweeping the snow, I simply pushed the snow into the creek first.With such a heavy snowfall, the river will be sealed within a few days, and it will be convenient to go to the opposite bank to build an ice wall.

The sister-in-law cleaned up the dishes and cleaned up the dishes to be cooked at noon, and then came to help clear the snow.

Qinghun swept his yard and the snow in front of the gate, and asked Xixi and Beibei to practice martial arts in the yard. The sister-in-law was busy burning the kang, and Qinghun went to the third uncle's house to help clear the snow.

There is no need for help at the second uncle's house. The second uncle and the second aunt are at home, and his daughter-in-law Zhao Youyou can also help. It won't take long to clean the yard.

On the other hand, the third uncle and the eldest brother went to the village headquarters together. Only Qingluan and the third aunt could do anything at home.In such a cold weather, my grandparents are too old to let them go out to work.

With Qinghun's help, the courtyard and the road in front of the door were quickly cleaned.

After working for nearly an hour, although the weather is very cold, my body is warm.

After entering the house, she took off her coat and clothes, and sat down on the kang. Grandma said, "Qingqing, you and Qingluan go to the chicken shed to have a look. Your third uncle was called away by your brother early in the morning, and the chickens haven't been fed yet. , With such heavy snow, it’s so cold, I don’t know how our chickens are doing.”

Qinghun felt that he could no longer hide from his grandparents, so while peeling the oranges, he handed a couple of oranges to the mouths of the two elders, and said simply: "You and my grandfather don't worry about your chicken, my third uncle a few days ago Please kill them all, and leave a few in the greenhouse in the backyard."

The old woman glared and was very angry: "What? You prodigals, there are seventy or eighty chickens, and only a few are left? They are all called to be killed? The chickens have only been raised for less than a year. , next spring will be the time to lay eggs, ouch, my heart!"

"Don't be angry, come here, eat a piece of orange sweetheart to calm down the fire. Think about it, with such heavy snow, it will fall for a few days, your chicken shed is made of simple red bricks, and the top is only simply treated Just to keep out the rain, can it withstand the heavy snow? When the chicken coop collapses, I’m afraid there won’t be a few of your chickens left, so it’s better to kill them. Just watch, the chicken farmer in the village In those few houses, every family has to kill chickens. You only raised less than a hundred chickens, but others raised thousands of chickens. The loss is not more than yours? If you want to block it, it won’t be long before the Chinese New Year, and you won’t be able to go out at that time, and you won’t be able to buy new year’s goods. Those in Jiguang Village will be able to digest it all. The price is only more expensive, and there is no reason for it to be cheap. Your original chicken price is also One hundred and ten yuan, right? If you don’t believe me, wait another ten days and a half months, I’ll sell you [-] chickens, and someone will ask for it! But then again, didn’t you say that those chickens are reserved for us to eat? It’s too late What's the difference between eating early? Are you right?"

Damn, the old lady was so angry.

"What about the chicken that was killed?"

Seeing the old lady's murderous look, Qing Hun moved to Grandpa's side: "Hey, it's stored in my freezer. I piled up a freezer. Grandma, why don't we braise two at noon today? I'm afraid you will get angry. I didn’t dare to eat it all day long. I can’t eat it just by looking at it, I’m so hungry.”

The old lady glared at her: "Eat, eat, I'll call your sister-in-law to cook three at noon, one for the family, and it's all over, right? Oh, my chicken. There will be no eggs next spring. I'll get a small one in spring." When the chicks come back to raise, they can only lay eggs in summer. You prodigal sons. Fortunately, I saved some eggs earlier, and the weather will not spoil them, or I have to go out to buy eggs for the new year."

Grandpa snorted at the side: "I just said that I didn't even let me touch the chicken food these days, and didn't let me go out of the door. I just kept warm in the house. It turned out that I was afraid that I would go into the chicken coop. Kill me Kill it, but don't eat it all at once. I think the weather is exactly the same as what I Qingguai just said. I'm afraid that the snow will block the road in a few days and I won't be able to go out. I won't be able to buy some meat by then. Buy it anywhere. With those ten chickens, there is no shortage of fishy meat at home.”

"Grandpa, why don't you say you are wise."

Qinghun coaxed the two elders for a while, then got off the kang, put on snow boots, and put on a coat to go out.

Qingluan just poured a glass of strawberry juice and handed it to her: "Where is this going?"

Qinghun said: "Brother has stored a batch of charcoal, and it is estimated that it will be distributed to each family today. I am afraid that there will be a power outage due to such heavy snow. If the power goes out, we will have to rely on charcoal and firewood for heating. But firewood is also available." Not every family farms. Some people are smarter, seeing that the weather is not right, they go up the mountain to get some dead branches and come back, but most of them are not prepared. I went to the village to find someone, went up the mountain to cut some firewood and came back.”

"Didn't our family store up firewood? We piled it up in the backyard. Besides, we went there in such a heavy snow? What if it's freezing?"

"It's not freezing. There's not too much firewood. On this day, it's estimated that the temperature won't rise in a few months. If you don't get some more, the existing ones will be used up, and the whole family will hide under the quilt all day?"

Qingluan said: "Then you don't need to go, do you? When the eldest brother and the others come back, just tell them to go. Even if I go with you, what kind of firewood can we two girls' house chop? Are you strong enough to drag it back?"

Qinghun rolled his eyes at her: "I didn't point you to go, but you would be doing me a disservice if you went. As for eldest brother and the others, they have their own things to do."

Qingluan was not convinced: "Why am I doing you a disservice?"

Grandma said from the side: "Okay, Xiaoluan, you are not as strong as Qingqingpi. It is also true to say that you need to gather more firewood. Qingqing, don't run around alone, you can't go to the mountains alone. Go ask your second uncle to go with you."

While going out, Qinghun replied, "Okay. I'll call my second uncle."

Qinghun went home and talked to his sister-in-law, and he and his second uncle took the rope and the ax and went to the village.

The shortest and most convenient way to go up the mountain is to go through the east-west center road in the village.

In the end, after walking about [-] meters to the north, I saw a group of people pulling a cart coming from Zhongzhong Village.

Qinghun thought to herself, it really did not meet her expectations, these people probably went to the old village and the abandoned primary school to fetch charcoal.

When I got closer, I saw that my eldest brother and the others were also in the team. (First update)
