Chapter 360: The First Snow at Forty-Three Degrees North

In early autumn, the sun is still blazing in the south, and the black soil north of the 43rd parallel has ushered in the first snow of the year. I don't know if it was because of the abnormal hot weather this summer, this sudden heavy snow came much earlier than usual, and when goose feather-like snow flakes fell from the sky, the adults in the village began to frown in unison, but the children were overjoyed one by one - winter in the northeast is coming.

In the wind and snow, the northwest wind howled like a beast, and only a few small leaves that were hidden deeply on the old trees that had some yellow leaves were left to tremble in the cold wind, and the red pines that had been upright into the clouds were also blown down by the whistling northwest wind. From time to time, the roars of unknown beasts could be heard in the primeval forest not far behind the village, as if they were also frightened by the sudden blizzard.

The dolls who have just finished school chase and play in the square at the entrance of the village, and the annual snow season is here again, which is indeed exciting news for the children who are looking forward to not going to school. The village elder squatted on the mud and stone slab at the entrance of the village, smoking the toad cigarette, and as soon as the blue smoke rose, it was blown away by the cold wind in the heavy snow. Lao Yan looked at the snow a little dazed, and the expression on his ravine-ravine face was a little dignified.

"Dad, this year's snow came too early, the village grain has not been stored enough, the township said that it took a while to move people to send flour down, according to this, the surplus grain in the village is estimated to be tight. Li Debao didn't know when he appeared next to Lao Yan, and he also squatted at the entrance of the village like his father, but he didn't smoke toad cigarettes, so he put his hands in his sleeves and looked at the "white velvet" that kept falling from the gray sky.

The old cigarette bar took two more puffs of cigarette, grinned, and showed a good old tooth: "Now that you are the village chief, what are you asking me to do about this?"

Li Debao saw that the old man was cheating, so he had no choice but to come up with a hippie smile: "Then you are not the old village chief, besides, you are my father, can you not support your son's revolutionary work?"

Lao Yan nodded with satisfaction, and grabbed the old cigarette gun in his hand: "This matter still has to be open source and reduce expenditure, I estimate that this snow will be a little smaller in Ming'er, you take two men to run in the township together, and strive to get the indicators of the township back before the heavy snow closes the road." In addition, let the families have strong preparations, and as soon as the snow fell, I followed me into the forest. Our Lijia Village relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, and our ancestors have come over like this for generations, even if we don't have the support of the township, we won't be starved to death. If you really starve to death, who will have the face to go down to see your father and mother when you turn around. ”

Li Debao was also happy when he heard it: "Listen to this, I'll arrange it." After saying that, he ran back to the village and sent notices from door to door. The old smoke didn't move, and he was still squatting at the entrance of the village, looking at the snow, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, the whistling northwest wind seemed to be mixed with some strange sound, although Lao Yan was more than seventy, but his eyes and ears were very good, especially the young man who looked more handsome than a girl last time helped him pat him a few times, and the next day Lao Yan spit out a few mouthfuls of dirty blood, coughing up the old problem for most of his life and never committed it again. The old chimney stood up suddenly, and stared at the path that had been paved with a layer of white velvet, and the snow in the distance seemed to be connected into a white curtain, and it was impossible to see what was behind the white curtain.

Boom, it was another big pit, so that Wang Xiaobei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hit his head on the roof of the car, if it weren't for the seat belt, this bump would really turn the neck of the Wang family upside down. "Bai Xiaoxiong, you are revenge, **naked revenge!" Wang Xiaobei rubbed his head and grinned, looking at the white bear driving and wanting to bite down.

"Bei Shao, you can't blame Xiaobai, you can find a way in this kind of place, you are already very capable. Li Yundao, are you right?" spoke to a pretty woman sitting in the back seat without powder, with wide sunglasses covering most of her face, waist-length hair scattered casually behind her, wearing a light down jacket, and wearing a very cute hellokitty baseball cap on her head, the brim was pressed quite low, as if she was afraid that others would recognize her.

Li Yundao, who was sitting next to her, shivered, when he just entered the mountain, he opened the window of the meeting car, and a stream of snow poured in, and the cold wind added new snow, which made Diao Min, who was only wearing a single coat, involuntarily think of Kunlun Mountain in winter. "It's so fucking cold, it's much colder than Kunlun Mountain. Li Yundao shrunk his neck, "I should have listened to Tao Yao if I knew it, and I should have brought a few more big jackets." ”

Bai Xiaoxiong, who was driving, smiled: "This is not the coldest, when it comes to 3949 days, it is often minus 20 degrees, and it is called cold." There is heating in the city, and in this kind of place where there is no village and no store, if we really encounter such a thing as an anchor, I guess we will wait to become a humanoid popsicle. ”

The woman wearing a baseball bat seemed to be frightened by the white bear: "Xiaobai, don't scare me." The white bear shrugged his shoulders and chuckled without speaking, he didn't want to scare his idol, but he was telling the truth. Wang Xiaobei saw that the atmosphere in the car was a little cold, and said: "Goddess Qi, I heard that you have recently released a new music album, why don't you give our brother a few songs to moisten your ears first, so Bai Xiaoxiong is also your die-hard fan." ”

Qi Baoxi glared at Wang Xiaobei, rolled her eyes, threw herself on the co-pilot's headrest, and smiled charmingly: "Miss Ben is not a showman." ”

Wang Xiaobei hurriedly leaned on the car door as if he was electrocuted: "Yes, you are a goddess, I can't afford to raise it, if you want to cause trouble, don't you have a ready-made child by your side!" Wang Dashao immediately had an expression of "Dead Dao friends are not dead and poor", and looked at Li Da Diaomin from the middle of the seat, "Yundao, Goddess Qi wants to sell herself......"

Li Yundao secretly scolded "two sluts", and then turned his head and smiled at the goddess Qi: "Is it expensive?"

Qi Shui smiled: "What do you say?"

Li Da Diaomin actually sighed: "Then forget it, I don't have a wallet, and the salary of a few thousand yuan a month is not enough for you to go to the mall to buy a bag." ”

Qi Qiushui was slightly angry: "People don't want to pack." ”

Diao Min was stunned: "Then what do you want?"

Qi Baoxi was so angry that she couldn't wait to take out the money for the Beacon Fire Show: "Don't want anything!" After speaking, the goddess Qi turned around and secretly scolded the big pig's head who didn't understand the amorous feelings. Wang Xiaobei and Bai Xiaoxiong looked at each other and smiled, there was really a play!

When Li Yundao pondered whether to open his mouth to coax this difficult national goddess, Bai Xiaoxiong suddenly said, "It seems to have arrived." ”

Everyone looked out through the windshield that was quickly brushed away by the windshield wipers, and a village really appeared not far ahead, and then looked at the military GPS navigator that Wang Xiaobei specially borrowed, and the red dot of the destination was prominently displayed in the middle of the screen.

When there were still fifty meters, Lao Yan had already discovered this car, he didn't recognize what brand this off-road was, and the license plate number was also very peculiar, with a red, black and white license plate at the beginning of Shen K3. In recent years, the domestic economy has developed, and there are more travelers, and when the weather is good, I can occasionally meet a few travelers from afar at the entrance of the village. The people in the countryside in the Northeast are hospitable, and there are guests who will be warmly entertained, although Lao Yan said that he would not charge for a minute, there are still travelers who quietly leave a few hundred yuan under the pit on the table every time. These few hundred yuan are nothing for the city, but for a small village with an annual GDP value of only a few thousand yuan, it is already a huge amount of money. However, the money Lao Yan didn't move a penny, and hid it in a very safe place at home, Lao Yan always felt that this money had to be spent on the blade, and when the village was in urgent need of money, maybe this money could come in handy.

On a snowy day, there were also donkey friends running, Lao Yan was quite surprised, and when he went up with the whistling northwest wind on his back, he was stunned as if he was electrocuted, motionless.

The few young people who got off the car wrapped in clothes were also very strange, just now this fellow waved when he came from afar, and he could feel the enthusiasm of the old man from afar, why did he stay there and pretend to be a snowman halfway through?

Finally getting closer, Wang Xiaobei leaned over and asked, "Uncle, is this Lijia Village?"

The uncle was motionless like a sculpture, staring at Li Yundao opposite with a pair of cloudy eyes, and his expression was extremely complicated.

Wang Xiaobei leaned sideways, so as not to pour snow into his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth, seeing that the old man ignored him, just stared at Li Yundao, Wang Yundao smiled bitterly: "Yundao, it seems that you are here." ”

Li Yundao stepped forward and rubbed his hands desperately: "Big ......" just spoke, he ate a big mouthful of coldness, and hurriedly turned to the old man's side, the old man was also interesting, Li Yundao turned around, and his body also turned around.

"Uncle, excuse me, is this Lijia Village?"

The old man trembled, suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Li Yundao, his throat made a muffled sound like boiling water, Li Yundao only heard the three words "no conscience", and the old man's body was weak, and he was about to fall. Fortunately, Bai Xiaoxiong's eyes were quick, he grabbed the old man with one hand, turned around and squatted down, and carried it on his back: "Let's go, let's talk about it in the village." ”

A middle-aged man in a military coat ran at the entrance of the village, and when he saw that the old man was being carried on his back, he shouted as he ran: "Dad, what's wrong with you, Dad!"

Bai Xiaoxiong quickly ran towards the middle-aged man: "It seems that the love is too excited......"

The middle-aged man said as he ran: "What's the matter, big brother, I'm too tired of you, this ...... Let's go to my house first......"

The middle-aged man's attention was on the old man on his back, and he didn't pay attention to the few young men who were hunched over to avoid the snow behind him, and only warmly beckoned everyone to go to his house.

Almost all of the houses in the village are rammed out of a secret recipe of clay and rice noodles, which are very sturdy, but they look quite dilapidated after a long time, and the middle-aged man is crying out to the unconscious old man.
