The first person to notice this was Widow Jia, who did not live in the cellar. She felt that she was getting colder and colder as she slept. Even if there was a fire in the room, she could not resist the increasing chill.

There were still water drops falling on her head, and she thought it was raining. When she opened the grass door and saw a white patch of white, she realized that it was snowing.

Widow Jia couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mother, it's really strange, why is it snowing at this time?"

She shivered in a thin quilt and went to find Li Zheng. But as soon as they entered, they found that none of Li Zheng's family was in their thatched hut. Widow Jia searched several houses in succession but still couldn't find anyone.

At this time, Widow Jia was so cold that her feet were so cold that she almost lost all feeling.

She thought to herself: Forget it, let's go back and warm ourselves by the fire first. If we continue searching, she might freeze to death before she is found.

As soon as she returned to the hayloft, she remembered that everyone had built a cellar in this new house, and the gang was probably hiding in the cellar.

Rural people are accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early, and when that time comes, everyone will wake up automatically.

As soon as they came out of the cellar, they saw a scene that overturned what they had known for decades.

Seeing that their half-built stone house was covered with snow everywhere, they all rubbed their eyes in surprise and suspected that they had seen it wrong.

It's only September now, why is it snowing? No wonder it was so cold last night.

Li Zheng's first thought was about the situation in the fields, so he put on five or six pieces of unlined clothes and went out to beat the gong to summon everyone.

He had no choice but to make the only thick cotton-padded jacket in the house, which his mother stayed up all night last night to make. However, the thick clothes were made first for his little daughter who was afraid of the cold, so he could only add a few more clothes to keep out the cold.

As soon as Widow Jia heard that the gong was being beaten to convene, she felt happy. She didn't panic after finding the organization, so she put out the fire, put on a thin quilt and went to the straw shed where the convening meetings were usually held.

When the men heard the sound of gongs and shouts, they all told their parents, wives and children not to come out of the cellar, and told them that it was snowing outside.

The adults were very worried when they heard about such abnormal weather. But the kids were different. When they heard it was snowing, they thought it was great.

They really like the snow. In the snow, they can not only build snowmen but also have snowball fights. The most important thing is that when it snows, it means the New Year is coming, and once the New Year is over, there will be delicious food.

Not only did they have meat to eat, but they also had the sweets and pastries that they cherished. No wonder their mothers started making new clothes last night.

The more I thought about it, the better the day became, so all the children were clamoring to go out to see the snow and play.

Wherever the women dared to let their children go out, they stopped them. This would be very troublesome if they got cold.

Some naughty children insisted on going out, and in the end they were spanked several times by their mother with the sole of her shoe before they stopped.

This time, even the grandparents who usually indulged them no longer pampered them, and even said that they were beaten correctly.

The men who came out of the cellar, like Li Zheng, tried to wear as many light clothes as possible, shivering and gathered in a grass shed that could block the wind.

Li Zheng saw that every man's face was pale from the cold, and he kept blowing and rubbing his hands with his mouth, and even his calves and body were trembling.

After adding some dry firewood to several braziers, Li Zheng sighed helplessly, alas! Who knew that God would suddenly and inexplicably snow, and they were not prepared at all.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone opening the grass door again. When he turned around, he realized it was Li Qingxiu who was wearing a thick cotton jacket, thick cotton trousers and a pair of cotton shoes.

Everyone's eyes were full of envy when they saw Li Qingxiu dressed so warmly. Especially the pair of cotton shoes on Li Qingxiu's feet, they couldn't help but rub their cold toes.

They also really wanted to own a pair of cotton shoes. On such a cold day, they were still wearing straw sandals, and their feet were frozen and hard.

Li Zheng said in surprise: "Qingxiu girl, why are you here?" He didn't expect that Li Qingxiu would really come, so he was so surprised when he saw her coming.

Li Qingxiu heard this and said doubtfully: "Aren't you summoning us? I have heard your shouts and gongs. If you don't need me, then I will go back."

If it weren't for the fact that he is upright and usually treats me very well. Who would have imagined this kind of crazy weather? It's so cold, but it's still comfortable to hide under the quilt.

Now that Li Qingxiu is here, how can Li Zheng let her go? "Well, since you're here, let's stay and figure it out together."

Li Qingxiu took a look at Li Zheng's face and said, well, it's really not good, and everyone needs to work together to find a solution. It seems that something is wrong.

Seeing Widow Jia waving to him, Li Qingxiu went to sit next to Widow Jia. Only Widow Jia had a seat next to her. Because she was a widow, the men did not dare to sit with her to avoid suspicion.

Widow Jia also took out half of her quilt to cover Li Qingxiu's legs. "Cover it well. Although it's a little thin, it can keep you warm."

Li Qingxiu looked at Widow Jia's thin quilt and the thin clothes she was wearing, and then looked at the thick cotton-padded jacket she was wearing. She felt warm in her heart.

After Li Qingxiu sat down, Li Zheng said: "I don't know when it snowed last night, but the snow looks quite thick. I'm just worried about the newly planted rice seedlings and vegetables in our fields. If you have any ideas, you can tell me."

Li Goudan sighed: "Oh, what else can we do? The snow is so thick, the seeds may still survive, but the rice seedlings probably won't survive."

Li Datian also nodded and said: "Otherwise, just ignore them and let them fend for themselves. Anyway, I don't think this vegetable can be grown. We can save some food and just eat the supplies in the cellar, and we should be able to survive this." winter."

Li Qingxiu twitched her lips when she heard this. It's only September now and there's still half a year to go until spring. The limited supplies are simply not enough for so many people.

Besides, since we have to wait for spring to plant food and eat all the food in winter, what will we eat while waiting for the food to mature? Northwest wind?

Li Zheng had the same idea as Li Qingxiu. He originally wanted to get more heads together, and maybe he could come up with a solution. That's why he asked these people to help him come up with ideas, but what these two people said made him angry.

Li Aniu had a different idea. He said, "I think we have to check out the situation first. After all, we don't even know what the situation is now. It's useless to say more here."

Li Qingxiu felt that Li Aniu was right, because now that there is a hot spring, maybe those rice fields and vegetable seeds can be saved.

She thought for a while and then said: "Yes, let's go and see what's going on first. After all, the land around the hot spring should not be too cold. If the rice seedlings are not dead, we can build a new plant in the field. Build a wooden house and burn some braziers in it. If the temperature in the wooden house is higher, maybe you can still grow vegetables."
