Bai Jing had already cooked the meal and kept it warm in the pot.

She came over in a thick cotton jacket to take a look, and saw that the wing room had been cleaned up and the heating was fine, so she took Shen Linxian and Shen Wei to clean it again, and then put thick mattresses and sheets on the bed, and took several quilts to put them over.

These mattresses, sheets and quilts were all picked up by Shen Linxian and the three of them in the supermarket in the city before, they are all new, and they can be used with a quilt cover.

By the time the three rooms were finished, Han Yang and Shen Dalong had already installed another layer of glass on the windows of the side room, so that the effect of keeping warm was better.

They are all tempered glass, and what they are afraid of is that if it is too cold, ordinary glass will not be able to withstand freezing.

By the time everything was ready, it was already mid-morning.

The five of them packed up and went back to the house to eat.

At this time, the temperature on the side of the main house finally came up, and the house was much warmer.

Bai Jing made a table of good dishes, in order to replenish everyone's body in order to withstand the coming harsh winter.

On the table was a pot of large backbones, stewed duck soup, and a large pot of vegetables.

Several people were also hungry, so they sat down at the table, and one of them served a bowl of duck soup, and began to eat steamed buns.

Even Shen Wei, who has never liked meat very much, took a big spine and gnawed it at this time, and she was really happy to eat meat.

There was such a big pot of meat, and the five of them were stunned to gnaw it clean, and the whole duck in the old duck soup was also eaten, and there was a big pot of stewed vegetables, cabbage vermicelli, meat and tofu in it, and they were all eaten.

After eating, everyone felt that their bodies were warm.

Han Yang put on his clothes, went outside to look at the thermometer, and came back and said to Shen Dalong, "It's already minus eighteen degrees." ”

Multiply......

Bai Jing gasped: "I only saw it when I was eating, and it was only minus twelve degrees at that time." ”

In other words, after eating, the temperature has dropped by six degrees.

Look at the snow in the yard again, there is another thick layer.

Han Yang put on cotton clothes and was about to go out to clear the snow, and said, "While it's not too cold yet, let's all go out and move around, so that our bodies can get used to the cold as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid that the temperature will not be able to withstand it after it drops." ”

Shen Linxian nodded and said to Shen Dalong: "Dad, I think we won't be able to live here if we continue like this, let's get the heating on the side of the wing room as soon as possible, let's move to the wing room as soon as possible, so as to save a little coal." ”

Shen Dalong put on a cotton coat and went out: "I'll go get heating." ”

Bai Jing also put on her clothes and pulled Shen Wei out: "Let's go to the village for a walk, my heart is always up and down, and I can't stabilize it." ”

Shen Wei sighed: "Our family is prepared, we bought a lot of coal before, but other people's families ......"

Yes, for several years, the village has not bought coal, so how can everyone survive the winter in such a cold weather?

But if they let their family contribute coal, Bai Jing and Shen Wei also knew that it was impossible.

People are selfish, and no one can give to others regardless of their own safety.

Not to mention whether their family has enough coal, even if they have a mountain of coal, it is impossible to take it out and give it to others, they have to prevent the bad nature of people.

If you give it to the matchmaker, you have to give it to the whole village.

Moreover, give a lot of giving, even if the whole village gives it, who doesn't have any relatives and friends, you give them coal, they still think that your family doesn't know how much, in order for relatives and friends to survive, they will definitely come to ask for it, if you give it, forget it, if you don't give it, I don't know how much trouble it will cause.

What if it spreads, and everyone in the villages near and far knows that you have coal at home, and they all come to ask for it? The gangsters in the countryside must have their sights on your family, and they may not be able to do anything to you for the sake of coal.

For their own safety, no matter how much coal they have, it is impossible to give it away.

Therefore, we can only be ruthless, and we should not see the suffering of other people's families.

Bai Jing and Shen Wei came out of the house and walked on the village road in the thick snow.

Along the way, there was silence everywhere.

Suddenly, I heard someone screaming: "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" You ......"

Bai Jing pulled Shen Wei to look at the voice, and saw Mrs. Liu's eldest son not far from their house running out of Mrs. Liu's house, crying as he ran: "My mother froze to death, second, our mother froze to death." ”

Mrs. Liu has always lived alone, and her three sons take turns to cook.

Last night it suddenly cooled down, and the old lady couldn't stand it anymore, and froze to death before she could get up.

His son couldn't stand the cold when he got up early today, so he found out everything that could be lit at home and made a brazier for the big and small fires in the house, and then swept a road and hurriedly cooked for the old lady, but he didn't expect to see the old lady frozen as soon as he entered the house.

Bai Jing sighed: "I'm afraid that a few old people from the five-guarantee households in the village are enough to choke." ”

Sure enough, after a while, all the people in the village moved, and all of them came out of their homes wearing thick clothes to help carry the corpses.

On that night, six old people died in the village, the oldest in his nineties and the youngest in his seventies.

In such a cold day, there was no way to bury the dead, so they could only dig six pits with great effort, bury the old man's body in it, and then carve words on wood and insert them on the grave, which is considered a tombstone.

The burial of the old man was done very quickly, and it was done in the afternoon.

Shen Dalong and Han Yang of the Shen family were also busy, and when they came back, it was dark.

Shen Dalong said to Bai Jing when he entered the house: "The village chief organized people to go to the mountains to cut down trees, and at this season, he can't take care of anything, and his life is the most important." ”

Also, without coal, wood has become an important thing for heating, and everyone must go up the mountain to cut down trees in order to survive.

"Let's go up the mountain with someone." Han Yang thought for a moment: "I'll go with me tomorrow, otherwise it will be too conspicuous." ”

Shen Dalong nodded: "Wear a thicker tomorrow and put on those suede boots." ”

At this time, the boiler in the big house had been extinguished, and everyone had already moved to the side room.

The earthen stove in the wing room was very hot, and the whole family gathered here to warm up and eat at the same time.

Bai Jing cooked on the stove, because there was only this one stove, and the cooking was relatively simple, boiling a pot of sweet potato and millet porridge, and stewing a big pot of vegetables.

The five of them finished their meal around the small table.

Bai Jing closed the lid of the stove, grabbed a few handfuls of peanuts and put them on the stove lid, but after a while, the fragrance of roasted peanuts came out.

The five of them were around the stove, and it was very warm around the stove, and they put their feet next to the stove, and they all held small sticks made of wood in their hands and turned peanuts.

As soon as the peanuts were roasted, they quickly took them to a small basin next to them, and everyone peeled them and ate them.

Shen Linxian made another pot of tea, eating peanuts and drinking hot tea at the same time, but he didn't feel worried.
