At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

Wan Niang saw that the stench on Xiao Lin's body would not go away for a while, so she gave him a bath and changed his clothes.

With the odor no longer on his body, Xiaolin became active again, following Jinbao's butt excitedly.

When the magpie saw that the adults in the family were back, she didn't dare to stay any longer. She glanced at Jinbao, spread her wings and flew away.

At this time, everyone else came back, and Zheng Gentian was with them.

Father Zheng and Mrs. Zhou looked cautious and invited everyone to come to the main room to talk.

As soon as they walked in, everyone covered their noses and said, "What does this smell like?"

Jinbao and Wanniang covered their mouths and laughed secretly, while Xiaolin lay shyly on Wanniang's lap and refused to raise his head.

After understanding the reason, Mrs. Zhou found some incense that had not been used all year round to cover up the stench in the house.

Seeing that everyone was here, Father Zheng said straight to the point: "You don't know yet, but it will snow heavily for a month."

When everyone heard this, they looked at Father Zheng in disbelief, and some couldn't believe their ears.

"My dear mother, if I continue for a month, will I still be able to live?" Meihua came to her senses and said frankly.

"Yes, Dad, how could it be possible for the next month in a row? Is the news accurate?" Zheng Laosan also asked questions.

Boss Zheng said in disbelief: "Whoever spread the rumor that it snowed heavily for a month would have buried the whole house. I dare to say anything without fear of being beaten."

He looked so angry, as if he wanted to hit someone at the next moment.

After hearing this, Jinbao glanced at his father aggrievedly, that's what she said.

After hearing this, Father Zheng glared at him and said, "I said, come here and beat me up, come on!"

What a terrible thing.

Boss Zheng was scared, his anger suddenly disappeared, he shrank his head and did not dare to say a word.

Father Zheng sighed and said, "This matter came from the town government office. Your mother and I just went to the village chief's house to discuss this matter."

Jinbao looked at Zhou in confusion after hearing this, why did he also lie to his parents?

Zhou smiled and comforted her with his eyes, signaling her to be silent.

Jin Bao nodded clearly, said nothing, and listened quietly.

"If it comes from the Yamen, it's probably true."

"If it snows heavily for a month, the village will definitely be closed down. We will need to prepare food for at least three months." Zheng Laoer said with a grimace.

"Yeah, it's the Chinese New Year soon."

"What your father and I want to do is that tomorrow you go to the town to collect more food and buy things for the New Year together," said Zhou.

Li Yun held her child and asked worriedly: "Mom, do you have enough money? If not, I still have some copper plates that I exchanged for embroidery."

"Boss and I also have some savings." Wan Niang also said.

Meihua was not to be outdone and said, "Yes, I also have some there. If it's not enough, I'll borrow some from my parents' house and tell them to start collecting food."

Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zheng looked at their daughters-in-law's sensible looks and nodded with satisfaction.

Father Zheng started to speak: "There is no need to use your money. Our idea is to find a way to separate the gold bars that Jinbao picked up last time and exchange them for some silver."

"That belongs to Jinbao. How could you touch Jinbao's things?" Meihua said disapprovingly.

Zhou didn't answer, but looked at Jinbao and asked, "Is Jinbao willing?"

"Yes!" Jinbao nodded directly without thinking.

Mrs. Zhou smiled broadly. Her good granddaughter was so sensible that she had nothing to say.

"Since Jinbao is willing to use it, let's use it first and save money later. Then we can replenish it."

Everyone nodded and looked at Jin Bao who was indescribably moved. They still had to rely on Jin Bao at the critical moment.

Zheng Laosan thought for a while and asked: "It's easy to separate the gold bars, but how do you change them into silver and who do you ask to change them?"

Although I dug it in my own vegetable garden, its origin is still unknown. Is it really okay to take it out easily?

Mrs. Zhou said: "We thought about it, and then asked the fourth child to exchange it with the shopkeeper's. How did it come about? Just tell him that he picked it up."

Zheng Laosan nodded, this is a good idea. The shopkeeper is also a good person, so there shouldn't be anything wrong.

Seeing that everything was settled, Zheng Gentian asked, "Have you considered whether there will be enough firewood if the food is available?"

"Yes, I forgot about this. There will definitely not be enough firewood. When the time comes, we will need a lot of firewood for cooking." Boss Zheng had a sad look on his face.

Father Zheng didn't think about the firewood either. He held his head and thought for a while.

"This afternoon we will go to the mountains to find some dry firewood and bring back as much as we can. We got the news early and still have time to prepare."

"The snow is so heavy that the wild animals in the mountains are hiding. We can walk inside, and there must be a lot of dry firewood inside." Zheng Gentian said.

Father Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."

Zheng Laoer asked: "By the way, Dad, does everyone else in the village know?"

"The village chief said he would inform them. They should all listen to the news coming out of the Yamen." Father Zheng said uncertainly.

"Just let the news go. Believe it or not, we can't interfere."

Everyone nodded, as long as they can take care of themselves, others can't.

"Meihua, you go to your parents' house in the afternoon and pass the news over so that they can prepare in advance." Mrs. Zhou ordered.

"Okay, mother."

Mei Hua looked touched. Her mother-in-law had nothing to say about her kindness. Many girls in the same village envied her for marrying into a good family.

After hearing this, Wan Niang looked at the plum blossoms with envy. Thinking of herself, she couldn't help but lower her head.

Boss Zheng felt the loss of the person next to him, stretched out his arms, hugged her, and comforted her: "If you don't have a natal family, there is nothing to be afraid of. We are your family."

Wan Niang's eyes turned red when she heard this. Yes, no one is as happy as her. Her parents-in-law are so kind, her husband is so considerate, and her children are even more considerate.

She raised her head and saw everyone looking at them, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she stretched out her hand to push Boss Zheng aside.

I muttered in my heart: It’s so embarrassing, I can’t even show my face in front of my parents.

Everyone laughed out loud when they saw it, and the depressing atmosphere was relieved a lot.

Zhou looked at Zheng Gentian and said, "Brother, please stop cooking by yourself from now on. Come and eat with us."

Zheng Gentian shook his head, ready to refuse.

"Brother, don't be so serious about this situation. Just listen to us." Father Zheng continued without waiting for him to speak,

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Zheng Gentian smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, now it's up to us to work together to survive the disaster."

Father Zheng looked at the large and small rooms, feeling a little excited.

"Don't worry, Dad, we will definitely be fine, and we will get better and better in the future."

"That's not true. Little Jinbao is here, what's there to be afraid of?" This is their lucky star.

Jinbao smiled shyly after hearing this.

Everyone also laughed out loud.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Zhou said, "Start preparing lunch. I'm full. Let's start working in the afternoon."

"Okay~"

The whole family started to get busy.
