The snow was heavy, up to my knees, and it was not easy to clean up.

But no matter how difficult it is to clean up the snow, it still needs to be cleaned up. Otherwise, with the heavy snow falling like this, if it keeps falling during the day, the snow in the yard will only get deeper and it will be more difficult to clean up.

When Song Juan, Song Laifu, and Li Guilan cleared a passage from the snow in the yard and opened the door, they found that the snow outside was only slightly lighter than in the yard.

“This time, it’s really a snow disaster!”

Song Juan followed Song Laifu and began to clear the snow in front of her house, preparing to clear a passage to the firewood stack.

Although there is some firewood stored in the utility room at home, in such a heavy snow day, no one knows when the snow will stop. If it snows for two or three days in a row, it will really be a disaster.

Song Juan and Song Laifu were busy clearing the snow, and Song Jianjun and Qu Xiaofu were also clearing the snow at the moment. They moved back to the house in the village just before the winter vacation, and they didn't have much food or firewood at home.

This must first open the road to the old Song family.

Song Mingshu is also helping, but he is small and weak.

As for Song Mingwen and Song Mingwu, these two little brothers are still sleeping. Who told them they were still children!

……

At this moment, in the entire Banpo Village, everyone who woke up was clearing the snow in their yards, and those who moved quickly had already begun to clear the snow outside their doors.

When Song Juan and Song Laifu opened the passage to their own firewood pile, the loudspeaker in the village rang.

The whole village was called on to clear the snow on various streets in the village.

Zhao Meilan, who was punished by the village and lived in the cowshed, almost despaired after discovering how heavy the snow was.

The cowshed in the village is only two miles away from the village.

But she was not short of food rations at the moment, but what she was short of was firewood.

"I can't die!"

"I have to live!"

Zhao Meilan wanted to clean up the snow, but she found that she didn’t even have the tools.

She threw the shovel she used to clean the cow dung over the cow pen.

She had no tools at hand.

The worst thing is that the snow is flying and the view is blocked.

Even if she wanted to brave the wind and snow and step on the thick snow to return to the village, she could not find the way.

Going back to the village from the cowshed, you have to pass through a slope and there is an earth bridge in the middle. If you accidentally step on it and fall into the snow hole, or simply fall into the ditch under the bridge, you will definitely be gone soon. .

"Ah, ah..."

Looking at the heavy white snow outside the door, Zhao Meilan felt sad and couldn't help crying.

She really doesn't want to die!

She wants to live a good life, she wants to change her way of life.

But why is it so difficult?

"Song Juan, if I don't survive, I will become a ghost and haunt you!"

Zhao Meilan, who was becoming more and more desperate, huddled in the bed and muttered to herself.

……

Song Juan, who was far away in the village, suddenly sneezed twice.

Hearing the sneezing, Li Guilan immediately became anxious and called Song Juan to go back to the house to warm up.

In this kind of weather, if you catch wind and cold, it is impossible to send you to a health center.

"Mom, I'm fine, it's just that my nose was a little itchy just now!"

"I'm not cold!"

Song Juan told the truth.

She is not cold at all now.

The work of clearing the snow is really laborious.

Li Guilan thought for a moment and said, "Then you go back and make some ginger soup, and we will all drink some later."

With this big snow, the weather is already cold. When the snow stops and the snow melts, the weather will only get colder.

"Fine!"

Knowing that her mother was taking care of her, Song Juan did not shirk it.

After all, you know your own business.

Song Juan herself is not a person who can exert great strength. It is really a bit laborious to clean up such heavy snow.

Go back and make some ginger soup. It's very good for her.

Not long after Song Juan cooked the ginger soup, Song Laifu and Li Guilan also came back.

They have cleared the snow in front of their house and connected it to their neighbor's house next door.

Song Jianjun and Qu Xiaofu also finished clearing the snow in front of their house and also connected to the next door.

When Song Laifu and Li Guilan came back, Song Jianjun and Qu Xiaofu also came with Song Mingshu.

Breakfast hasn't been made yet, so I'll have a bowl of ginger soup first.

"Drink quickly, I even added some brown sugar!"

Song Juan scooped out ginger soup for everyone. To be precise, it was ginger brown sugar water.

"With such heavy snow, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to celebrate the New Year!"

When everyone was drinking ginger syrup, Li Guilan suddenly said something faintly.

"Definitely not coming back!"

Song Juan nodded in agreement.

There was such heavy snow that the telephone lines might have been crushed.

As for the road from the county seat to Qiaojia Town?

It is definitely impossible to continue to open to traffic.

As for organizing manpower to clear the snow on the road?Don't be ridiculous.

Although there are villages along the road here, the problem is that some sections of the road are far away from the villages.Even if the higher authorities notified each village to clean up the snow, some places still couldn't do it.

Let's take Banpo Village as an example. The road to the east connects to the commune station, and the village to the west is called Shitou Zhuang.

Shitou Zhuang is more than ten miles away from Banpo Village, and there is a long downhill slope of more than two miles.

Who will be responsible for clearing the snow over such a long distance?

Banpo Village or Shitou Village?

As for the commune station, it happens to be at a fork in the road. There are at least ten miles of roads around it that need to be cleared. If it is only done by people from one village, how long will it take to get it done?

"Ugh……"

Knowing that her second son would not come back, Li Guilan felt a little bad.

"Mom, what are you sighing for?"

"It's just heavy snow that blocks the road. When the snow melts, if you miss me, why don't we just go to the county seat and have a look?"

Although Song Juan understood her mother's desire to reunite her family, she couldn't comfort her in this way at this time. She had to change her perspective.

Otherwise, if my mother thinks of her eldest brother in Northern Xinjiang, it will be troublesome.

However, what Song Juan didn't know was that her eldest brother, who had been stationed in northern Xinjiang, really came back to visit relatives this year.

The telegram was sent, but unfortunately, the road was blocked by heavy snow. The telegram reached the commune post office and could not be delivered to Banpo Village.

As for calling?

Unfortunately, the phone line was knocked down by a tree that fell under heavy snow.

In short, communication breaks down.

……

At this moment, on the train from Northern Xinjiang to Yanshi, Song Weiguo, his daughter-in-law Ma Xiaoling, and his eldest son Song Mingjun were imagining the happiness of family reunion.

However, Song Weiguo didn't know that Yanshi was experiencing a heavy snowfall that had not been seen in more than ten years.

At the same time, Song Weimin, who was in the county seat, looked at the thick snow in his family's yard and felt very bad.

Originally, he could have returned to the village earlier, but he wanted to stand on the last guard duty, but just one day later, there was such a heavy snowfall.

"Dad, can't we go back to celebrate the New Year?"

Song Mingjian's face was wrinkled. He had been looking forward to returning to his hometown for the New Year.Although my aunt is very annoying, my grandparents are very good, and my brothers and sisters are also very good.

But now, he has never seen such heavy snow.

"Well, it's hard to say!"

Song Weimin stretched out his hand and rubbed his eldest son's head vigorously, "There is still a week until the New Year, maybe he can still go back!"

"God bless you, please stop now!"

After hearing Song Weimin's words, Song Mingjian clasped his hands together and began to pray to God.

"Let the sun come out!"

"As long as the sun comes out, I promise to be a good boy, study hard, and make progress every day for a whole year!"

Song Mingjian was very pious at this moment.

Seeing this, Song Weimin raised his hand and knocked Song Mingjian on the head, saying, "So, you haven't studied hard before? Is that right?"

"of course not!"

"I have always studied hard!"

"I, I just said, I will work harder, yes, work harder!"

Song Mingjian, who realized that he had accidentally exposed his secret, quickly gave an explanation.

I have to say, this kid is still very quick-witted.

Song Weimin was too lazy to be serious with his eldest son. He glared at him and said, "Hurry up and do your homework. If you haven't finished your homework by the time you can return to the village, you won't be able to play when you go back!"

"Dad, don't worry!"

"I'm going to wake up my little brother!"

Song Mingjian strolled back to his room and called his younger brother Song Mingshe, who was still sleeping in bed, to get up to eat and do his homework.

Kong Laidi walked up to Song Mingjian and whispered, "Can you still go to the factory today?"

"No way!"

Song Mingjian sighed, "I'm thinking that it won't be long before the higher-ups will have to arrange for people to clear the snow on the streets."

"When the time comes, just watch Ming Jian and the others at home!"

"Row!"

Kong Laidi nodded.

Song Mingjian's guess was absolutely correct.

By noon, county leaders had made arrangements, and everyone from all factories and government units had to take to the streets to clear the snow.

Not only did the streets in the county have to be cleared of snow, but several commando teams were even arranged to clear the roads in and out of the county.

……

Song Juan originally thought that it would be very difficult to clear the snow on the road, but she underestimated the fighting spirit of people in this era.

After discovering that the phone line was down in the village, they spontaneously stopped the young people in the village from going out.

There is no way to reconnect the phone lines because this is too technically demanding and cannot be done by the villagers.

However, it is not difficult to clear the snow on the road.

A young and strong person can clear the snow for a day, which is full work credit.

Do you want to do it?

Dry!

Originally, you couldn’t earn work points in winter, but now that you have the opportunity to earn work points, who wouldn’t do it?

If not, when the work points are calculated at the end of the next year, my family will have to pay less than others. Is this okay?That’s definitely not possible!

"Sure enough, I still don't understand this era!"

When Song Juan walked through the village and saw that the villagers had opened the road to the commune, she was really shocked.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have been able to imagine what kind of cohesion it was.

After the road from the village to the commune was opened, the people in the village did not stop there, but continued to clear the snow on the road in the direction of Shitou Zhuang.

Then, when the villagers were halfway through cleaning up, they joined forces with those who were cleaning up from Stone Village.

Although the heavy snow is still falling, there is no way this snow will accumulate again before dark.

The village has arranged for people to clear the snow again when they see that the snow has reached a certain thickness.

By the evening, the heavy snowfall was finally getting lighter.

However, according to the experience of the old people in the village, the snow will not stop here and will continue to light up at night.

Song Juan burned her feet and fell asleep quickly.

Today, she also did a lot of work.

If this person is tired, he will naturally sleep soundly.

……

Zhao Meilan originally thought that she might be forgotten by the villagers in the cowshed, but the fact is that the villagers did forget her, but they did not forget the cows in the cowshed.

This is the most important asset of the village, and no one can forget it.

Considering that the snow was too heavy and the house over the cowshed was not very windproof, Qi Bajin and Wang Dashan temporarily exempted Zhao Meilan from punishment and allowed her to return to the house in the village.

However, Zhao Meilan had a falling out with her four sisters, so they had to arrange another house for her.

This night, the snow fell silently.

When dawn arrived, the villagers got up early and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the snow on the ground only as thick as their insteps.

Best of all, the sun is out.

This means that everyone does not have to be too busy today.

Of course, the snow still needs to be cleared.

It’s just that the workload today is much less than yesterday.

While the people in Banpo Village were busy clearing away the snow again, the postman from the commune post office arrived in Banpo Village and brought the telegram sent by Song Weiguo.

When Li Guilan saw the telegram and learned that her eldest son and his family of three were on their way back, she felt really awkward.

The phone lines were down and the county could not be contacted.

On the highway, they have completed the work of clearing the snow, but no one knows whether it is the same in other places.

"Mom, don't think too much. It's rare for my eldest brother and sister-in-law to come back. God will definitely not deny them face!"

Song Juan was really in a panic right now.

She really didn't know how to comfort her own mother's wounded heart.

Everything comes together.

"If you can't speak, then stop talking!"

Hearing her daughter's comforting words, Li Guilan glared at her angrily.

Hearing this, Song Juan smiled and said, "Mom, I won't say anything anymore!"

Song Juan, who didn't know what to say, took the opportunity to shut up.

When Li Guilan saw her daughter's appearance, she didn't know what Song Juan was planning.

However, she really has no intention of thinking about anything else right now.

Her only thought now is that the road should be cleared as soon as possible.

If the eldest son comes back and is trapped in the city because of blocked roads, his family leave will be in vain.

You know, it is impossible for the eldest son to come back from leave often.

I couldn't go home this time, and I don't know how many years it will be before I get another vacation.

Song Juan knew that her mother was in a bad mood, so she stopped hanging around her to avoid making her unhappy and becoming a punching bag.

Throughout the whole day, Li Guilan was a little absent-minded.

From time to time, she looked at the road in front of the village to see if any cars were passing by.

Because as long as there is a car passing by, whether from east to west or from west to east, it means that the road is ready for traffic.

However, there was not a single car.
