Chapter 255 Snow

Qiao Lan was immediately relieved when she heard this, "That's no problem, anyway, the first few years must be invested, and it's a pity that those wastelands are left in vain, it's better to plant alfalfa grass to raise it, these wastelands that our family bought are only planted with a crop of grain, and the alfalfa grass is planted in the spring, and only winter wheat is planted.

"That's true, so let's buy some alfalfa grass seeds and plant them?"

"Plant, plant in spring, do you have enough manpower?"

"Enough, don't be in a hurry to plant it all, get a little bit is a little, first open a few acres and then say, a little bit, all of them are made out and there is a lot of money for manpower, anyway, the wasteland is not in a hurry to do anything, just slowly get grass seeds and don't bother so much. ”

"Yes, then you look at it, don't worry about getting so many cattle and sheep first, raise some first. Qiao Lan reminded.

"Don't worry, I know. ”

"Brother Huzi, I think the reservoir should be dug a, the canal should continue to be dug again, once the wasteland is opened, the aqueduct will be diverted, these works should be planned in advance, don't be in a hurry at that time, it's not good, I like this Zhuangzi very much, I want to get it up." Qiao Lan went with me once and saw it, the natural conditions are very good, she really likes it.

"Well, I know, when we have more money and more manpower, I will buy all the wasteland and woodland behind me and make it into a big village. "Chuanhu has his own ambitions in his heart.

"Okay, there's no rush now. ”

Chuanhu and Qiaolan talked for a while, the climate was cold and it was early, Chuanhu had to get up and prepare to go home, before leaving, he was looking forward to waiting for the beginning of the spring when Lanzi got married, so he didn't have to go back and forth like this every day.

Sent away the tiger Qiaolan and started the days of snail dwelling again, the sky became colder and colder, and suddenly woke up one morning, and saw that the sky was full of snow, and the sky was still full of snowflakes.

Qiao Lan was stunned for a long time before she realized that this dazzling snow white was snowing, "It's snowing." Grandma Grandpa, it's snowing. She ran out of the house.

"I've known for a long time, it's good, after three years of waiting for it to finally snow, and if it doesn't snow, the water in the canal will really not be enough. Mrs. Li sighed happily.

The county magistrate has done a great thing, that is, to build water canals for every village, not to mention really alleviating the water shortage crisis in many places and maintaining grain production, which has made a lot of contributions.

Although there is no major incident in these villages, there are several villages on the other side of the mountain that have a very serious shortage of water, and the grain output has dropped a lot, and the villagers have to go to the mountains to carry water to drink, and the ground has begun to crack, but everyone still wants to persevere, and it is easy not to sell the land and leave home like this.

Although the impact of their village is not very large, everyone can see that the water level of the canal has dropped very alarmingly, and there will really be a shortage of water when it falls.

"Great, now we don't have to worry about the lack of water. Dad, do we also choose a place next to the wasteland to build a reservoir? Qiao Lan asked.

This water shortage crisis is really scary, and I saw that there was a cistern in Zhuangzi, so Qiaolan also wanted to get one for her family.

"It's okay, it's not hard to dig a pool. "Old man Li thought about it, digging a pool is also a good thing, there is always a time when it can be useful.

"Then dig in the spring. Li Qingshan also nodded, there are always times of drought and flood, and it is right to keep an extra hand.

"There's a lot of people out there. Qiao Lan looked out in the yard and saw a lot of people playing outside, and everyone was very excited when it hadn't snowed for a long time.

"You are not allowed to go out and make trouble, it is terrible to get cold when you come into the house. Go into the house and take out the mattress and bake it and lay it out for your grandmother. Mother Li stood at the door and shouted at her daughter not to let her go out to make trouble.

"Oh, got it. Qiaolan turned around step by step, reluctantly entered the house, originally thinking of building a snowman.

Mother Li couldn't help but pat her when she saw him like that, "Don't make trouble, I'm going to get married in the spring of tomorrow, but I can't be sick, it's too unlucky." ”

"Oh, okay. Qiao Lan pouted and nodded helplessly.

Then Mother Li took out all the big sweaters, and the preparations were early, the cotton jacket and leather coat were found out, and they were slowly baked on the smoke cage to remove the cool air and put them on for the old man.

Then put the leather mattress on the old man again, the old man was afraid of the cold, so he was ready early.

Qiaolan used the remaining sheepskin to make a mattress, covered and laid, Mrs. Li likes to lean on the recliner in the hall, not covering a small quilt in winter will catch a cold, Mrs. Li legs have rheumatism and dare not be cold, so Qiaolan used the remaining sheepskin and fox skin to make a small quilt for the old lady to cover with warmth.

Last time I went to the city, I specially bought a large smoker cage, which is also an oven, this is made of copper, there is a special shelf, sandwiched on the copper circular hollow stove, there is a copper platform on the shelf, you can put a wooden board, and the turnstile is used to bake clothes in winter.

The removal of the shelf is a heating stove, which is hollowed out, with a cover, and charcoal can be added by removing the cover.

Mrs. Li sat next to the smoker, and when she was in a good mood, she would weave cloth on a loom or stare at the chaise longue for a while.

Because the house is big, one smoke cage is a little too warm, so Qiao Lan bought two more and put them in the hall, and the remaining one was given to Sister-in-law Zhang.

"Well, this quilt is so warm. Mrs. Li smiled and nodded under her granddaughter's new quilt.

"Grandpa, you can also try this leather jacket, I made it a little longer to cover the knees, so that it is not too cold. Qiao Lan took out the big wool clothes and smoked them for the old man to try, if they are not suitable, they can be changed again.

Mrs. Li tried it on and nodded with satisfaction, "It's warm, it fits." ”

"Well, try on your shoes, too. ”

The boots are also newly made, and they are wrapped in sheepskin and made of foot and neck pads, so it is very warm to wear without leaking the wind.

"Well, it's very warm and comfortable. Old man Li put it on and walked around twice, very happy.

"Your clothes are also taken out and baked. Mother Li was busy baking clothes for the family.

"Mine is ready too. ”

Qiaolan made a long cloak, the hood of the white fox fur is a white fox skin, very cute and beautiful, the face is embroidered with lake green satin treasure flower style, the other is a short cloak, the begonia red bright forging embroidered entwined lotus color with the Hunan skirt is also very good-looking.

"Well, that's a good idea. ”

"Well, I even made a long padded jacket to wear at home. Qiao Lan proudly took out all the new clothes she liked to display.

"Well, you should make two clothes when you go out. Mrs. Li looked at it and nodded, but felt that the clothes were a little less.

"I don't often go out and don't need it, I made a winter Hunan skirt and cotton skirt, it's enough. ”

"Well, wait until you marry yourself before you do it. Mrs. Li nodded, thinking that she was not far from getting married, and it was not appropriate to go out.

"Hmm. Qiao Lan thought so too.
