The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

The laughter and joy of the New Year mostly echo inside the house, while outside there is still white snow and howling cold wind.

Early in the morning on the first day of the New Year, everyone got up early to pay New Year's greetings.

Jiang was the oldest in the family and prepared big red envelopes for everyone. The youngest ones were Dabao and Erbao, who kept receiving red envelopes and sat on the couch, dancing and clapping, unable to hide their joy.

"Husband, look who's outside!"

Fu Yunxi leaned against the window and watched the children playing. She caught a glimpse of a figure wrapped like a zongzi in the yard! Looking closely, she saw Chen Jianzhong, wearing many clothes, staggering in the snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"It's Jianzhong, Mu Da, follow me to open the door."

Mu Yibai was so amused by Chen Jianzhong's outfit that he almost put on a quilt. Fortunately, his clumsy walking posture made it possible to recognize him at a glance, otherwise he would have thought that a thief had broken into the yard.

"Jianzhong must be here to pay New Year's greetings. It's really thoughtful of him to come in such a heavy snowstorm."

Fu Yunxi likes her little apprentice Chen Jianzhong very much. After all, he once saved Mu Yibai’s life in the book, and they have been together for a long time. She finds that Chen Jianzhong has a sincere heart and is extremely genuine in his dealings with others.

"Then I'll go get another red envelope to give to my child as a New Year's gift!"

When Jiang heard that it was Mu Yibai's apprentice who came, she stood up and went to the next room to get a red envelope. Luo and others also went to get one. No matter the size of the red envelope, they wanted good luck in getting a new year's gift.

When Chen Jianzhong entered the house, there was a thick layer of snow and even a thin layer of ice on his clothes, which almost froze the child to death.

"Drink a cup of ginger soup to slow down first, then go in."

Mu Da helped Chen Xuhong clean the ice and snow off his clothes, and let his numb legs relax for a while in the corridor, then he took off his coat and went into the main room.

As soon as I entered, a warm feeling hit me, as if I was in a fireplace.

"After drinking the ginger soup, Chen Jianzhong finally felt warm. Master, Master's Wife, it's really cold outside!"

The first thing Chen Jianzhong said when he entered the room was to complain to Mu Yibai. It was no wonder that he was so cold outside.

"You knew it was so cold, but you still came over!" Mu Yibai responded with a smile.

Chen Jianzhong's arrival made the atmosphere in the Mu family even more cheerful, and everyone was amused by his innocence.

"When Uncle Yun and Huo San came over yesterday, they weren't as exaggerated as you. They took off some clothes when they were hot."

Fu Yunxi really couldn't stand Chen Jianzhong's dressing. Even though he took off his outer coat in the corridor, he was still bulging with clothes underneath.

"Uncle Yun and Huo San were here yesterday? Are they coming today?"

Chen Jianzhong was stunned. Everyone celebrates New Year’s greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so why did they come on New Year’s Eve? He thought that if they were in the same place, he could also pay New Year’s greetings to Uncle Yun. Now that he had missed it, he could only wait until spring.

"It shouldn't come today. It's so cold, who can go through this every day? Just wait patiently until spring comes."

There is nothing important at the moment, and there is really no need to challenge human limits in the wind and snow.

……

The weather this year means that everyone will celebrate the New Year at home.

Fortunately, everyone had stockpiled sufficient supplies to survive the cold winter, and the houses had been repaired.

Otherwise, if it was buried by heavy snow, no one would notice it. This situation lasted for more than a month before the weather gradually warmed up.

Although the temperature is still below zero, people are able to go out normally!

"This annoying extreme cold weather is finally over!"

The Mu family is undoubtedly the luckiest. They live in the largest and warmest new house, enjoy a variety of delicious food, and live the most comfortable life.

However, how many people in the world can live such a life?

Most people can barely make ends meet, and I'm afraid that many people may not survive this winter.

"Yes! I hope the auspicious snow will bring a good harvest and there will be no more natural disasters next year."

Aunt Jiang echoed Mrs. Luo's words, saying that humans are undoubtedly insignificant in front of nature, which is why they believe in gods and hope that they can save humans in times of crisis!

"Just clear the snow off the main road. I have a way to melt it."

Mu Yibai planned to take Mu Yiheng and Brother Mu to clean up the snow in the yard.

But Fu Yunxi felt that this project was quite large, and it would be better to spread salt or use snow-melting agent, which would slowly melt if piled in a place with sunlight.

"Okay, I'll listen to you Madam. Let's clean up first."

Not only the Mu family was clearing the thick snow, but every household was also clearing it. The snow on the roof had piled up like a mountain, and there was no place to walk in the yard.

Not to mention the roads leading to the town and the county from Mojia Village, which were all blocked by thick snow and were completely impassable.

After a while, the temperature rose again, and the village head ordered people to clean up the wine workshop.

At the same time, we counted the number of people injured and suffering in the extremely cold weather, and watched the snow gradually melt in the spring.

Mojia Village is about to return to normal, and the wine workshop must resume business as soon as possible.

As soon as traffic resumed in the spring, the county magistrate immediately compiled a statistics of the disaster situation in the entire Lianjiang County, and the number was quite considerable.

Even though food and coal were prepared in advance, such a situation still occurred. If there was no preparation at all, the county magistrate could not even imagine the extent of the number of people affected.

After completing the statistics, he quickly formulated a subsidy and relief policy. Fortunately, the coal mine had made considerable profits before the New Year, and now he could just use a portion of it to help the people.

"It's time to put our clinic on the agenda. There must be many people injured in the extreme cold weather. We have to mass-produce frostbite ointments and plasters. We have enough medicinal materials, but we are short of manpower. Fortunately, no one in our Mojia Village has suffered, so the wine workshop can operate normally. I will ask the head of the village later to see if there is anyone willing to help with the production. We can pay according to the wages of the wine workshop, but the industry belongs to us."

Fu Yunxi discussed plans for the spring with the Mu family. They had originally planned to wait some time until the people recovered from the extreme cold before opening the clinic, but now many people have frostbite, and opening the clinic earlier would allow them to treat everyone earlier.

"Xi'er, our family can also work. Don't let us stay idle at home all day. We have rested enough in the past few months. It's time to work in the spring."

The Luo family was the first to express their opinion that they did not want to see their son and daughter-in-law running around outside all day, and as a member of the family, they also hoped to contribute.

"Second sister-in-law, what mother said makes sense. I am now past the first trimester and the pregnancy is stable. Opening a clinic is something I am good at, so I must help you."

As soon as Liu Yue finished speaking, Mu Yiheng also spoke up.

"Yes, we can all work, and as a family, we can accomplish anything with one heart."

Mu Yiheng was worried that his wife was still busy while pregnant, so he decided to follow her all the time.

"Yes! Sister-in-law, we are now familiar with all kinds of medicinal herbs, and we can help!"

Jiaojiao and Lin Xue were not willing to fall behind. The past few months of study were not in vain. They had no problem identifying medicinal materials and simple pharmacological prescriptions.

"Okay, then we will open a clinic together as a family."

Fu Yunxi looked at everyone who was eager to try, and suddenly became full of anticipation, looking forward to the scene of everyone starting a business together.
