The next day, Xu Wenda went home with very brisk steps, half an hour earlier than usual. At the end of the day, I'm still looking forward to those boots.

But after returning to the room, he didn't see the finished boots, but there was a small one next to the boots he tried last night, looking at this size, it was obviously for Xu Wenzhao to wear.

Xu Wenda's face suddenly became bad, and his daughter-in-law didn't seem to be temperamental, so she was really angry.

Xu Wenda finally knew what it meant to be self-inflicted, looked down at his cotton shoes, and smiled bitterly.

After a few more days, Xu Wenyuan and Xu Wenzhao's shoes were ready. Xu Wenzhao wore it on his feet, he couldn't be happy, and Xu Wenda's face sank a little more.

At dinner in the evening, Xu Wenzhao said, "Today, some classmates said that they wanted to buy my gloves, and they all came to ask me where I could buy them, and many people liked them very much." ”

When Xu Wan heard Xu Wenzhao say this, she couldn't help but ask, "Then what did you say?" ”

Xu Wenzhao said with a smile, "I told them that my sister-in-law and sister made it, and it was not sold, so he was envious." ”

Hearing Xu Wenzhao's words, Xu Wenyuan thought thoughtfully, and decided in his heart that he should have moved faster.

Early the next morning, when Tong Xue pushed the door open, she was startled by the scene outside the door, there was a thin layer of snow on the roof outside, and the snow was still falling in the air. Speaking of which, the snow is really not big, but this is Yuzhou, but it is snowing, which is a big problem.

This shows that in this perennial hot place, the current surface temperature has been low to below zero, in this place where there is no kang and many families do not prepare extra firewood for the winter, this will simply kill people.

Tong Xue had considered that her younger brothers and sisters might not be comfortable after they came, so she had already allowed her farewell to the charcoal basin, but many of the people who were not well-off were covered with a slightly thicker quilt, and they endured it and passed.

If it's the usual weather, it's fine, but this year's winter is so cold, I'm afraid it's not easy to get through.

Tong Xue glanced at Xu Wenda, who was still asleep, and walked over, because her hands were too cold, Tong Xue pushed Xu Wenyuan through the quilt, "Wenyuan got up, it's snowing outside." ”

Xu Wenda moved, reached out and grabbed Tong Xue's hand, then put it in the quilt, changed his position, hummed, and then continued to close his eyes.

After a while, Xu Wenda opened his eyes suddenly, then looked at Tong Xue and asked, "It's snowing?" ”

Seeing Tong Xue nodding, Xu Wenda crawled out of the quilt and prepared to get dressed and leave, and when he was ready to get out of bed and put on his shoes, there were formal snow boots made by Tong Xue on the ground.

Xu Wenda was stunned for a moment, in the past few days, he has watched his two younger brothers put on new boots, and Cheng Dù looks very secure, and he can't help muttering in his heart, why didn't he see his daughter-in-law do it.

But if he wanted to ask Tong Xue, he was a little embarrassed, so he kept it in his heart, but he didn't expect to see it this morning.

Tong Xue looked at Xu Wenda, who was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, "Why are you stunned, these boots are slightly better than cotton shoes, although they look ugly, but they are very warm, the weather is stunned today, you should wear thicker." ”

Xu Wenda put on his shoes, only to feel that his whole body was warm today, and it was almost warm from the soles of his feet to the bottom of his heart.

Because it was snowing today, Xu Wenda hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge and left.

Xu Wan and Xu Jing got up one after another, Xu Jing seemed very happy, running and jumping in the yard alone, and after a while, Xu Wan also went to mess with her, obviously infected by Xu Jing.

Tong Xue looked at the two of them outside, and couldn't help but speak, "You two hurry back, you're going to catch a cold outside." ”

Xu Wan heard Tong Xue speak, and also pulled Xu Jing into the door, she didn't care about herself, but it was not good to be cold to Xu Jing, as soon as she entered the door, Xu Wan said, "Looking at the snow, I remembered that when we were in Qingshan Village, we had a snowball fight in the yard. ”

Xu Jing's eyes were also shining on the side, "Let's have a snowball fight." ”

Tong Xue poured a basin of cold water on the side, "How thick can the snow in our Qingshan Village be that night, you can't see the soles of your feet when you step on it, it's all up to your calves, of course it's okay to have a snowball fight." But here the snow is a thin layer, and if you reach down and grab the snow with one hand, you will definitely be able to catch a handful of mud. ”

Tong Xue noticed just now that the snow on the roof looks a little more, but on the ground, the color on the ground can be faintly revealed, and the snow is only one or two centimeters thick when it tops the sky, and it is fresh and fresh, but if it is a snowball fight, it is not okay.

Tong Xue said, "Wait a minute, don't go outside to play in the snow, that is, it is colder at night, and you can still see some snow now, and when it comes to noon later, the weather is a little warmer, and the snow will definitely disappear, and the snow on the ground is not clean." ”

Seeing that Xu Jing nodded reluctantly, Tong Xue asked, "Did you sleep well last night, did you feel cold?" ”

Xu Wan and Xu Jing both shook their heads, "Before I came here, I thought that the south was summer all year round, but I didn't expect that there was also winter, I really felt a little cold last night, and I woke up in the middle of the night and added a quilt, so I slept soundly." ”

Xu Jing also hurriedly agreed, Xu Jing Since a few days ago, Tong Xue has forcefully added a quilt to her, and it has been two quilts for the past few days, and she slept soundly at night, "It's not cold." ”

Xu Wan also said on the side, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about us, you have prepared two thick quilts in each room, and there is a charcoal basin in the house, not to mention that it is cold, it has rained outside for so many days, and you can't even feel the wetness in the house." ”

Speaking of which, Xu Wan really decided that Tong Xue was too thoughtful in all aspects, and they didn't have to worry about anything at all.

Tong Xue looked at the still gloomy weather outside, and didn't know when it would be clear, "I don't know what's going on outside." ”

Tong Xue is still very worried about the snow in Yuzhou, you must know that Yuzhou is already so cold, isn't it colder to the north of Yuzhou, I don't know if the areas that are usually not so stunned are now snowing on a large scale, and there are many places that have snow disasters.

Tong Xue said a little worriedly, "I just heard from Jade, she heard someone say a few days ago that this winter is the coldest winter in Yuzhou in the past ten years, and the last time it snowed was more than ten years ago." ”

Xu Wan listened to Tong Xue's words, and she was also related, they all came from hard times, and she knew that the thing ordinary people were most worried about was natural disasters, but fortunately, it was already winter, "Fortunately, it's winter, and there is no grain harvest or anything." ”

Tong Xue nodded, it is winter now, it will not affect the harvest in the field, with this snow, maybe next year's winter wheat harvest will be better, this should be considered a blessing in misfortune, "Although this is the case, I am afraid that there are many people who will have a hard time." ”

Tong Xue silently looked forward to not freezing people, "People here don't have the habit of burning fires, many people even cover a quilt in winter and summer, and they can get by according to the usual weather, but according to this year's weather, I don't think it is necessarily." And the people here have little firewood, and I don't know how long the weather will last. ”

Xu Wan was silent when she heard Tong Xue's words, some time ago, she herself was wearing single clothes, no one expected that after the winter solstice, it would start to rain continuously in a few days, "It's been raining for many days, it should be sunny." ”

Tong Xue was a little unoptimistic, frowning slightly at the sky, "Who knows." ”

When it was time to finish eating, Xu Wenda didn't come back, Tong Xue saw Lu Wang, and stopped him, "Lu Wang, what's the situation outside." ”

Lu Wang immediately said, "Mrs. Hui, the situation outside is not very bad. ”

Hearing Lu Wang's words, Tong Xue's heart was half relieved, it was impossible for Lu Wang to hide from her in this kind of thing, it was true, "Last night, although the temperature suddenly dropped, but fortunately, even if the temperature in Yuzhou was low, it was really low, and no one froze to death in the city." ”

Tong Xue's other half of the heart also let go, "That's good." ”

Lu Wang continued, "There are a few houses that are already dilapidated, the first few days of rain for many days, the roof is not too strong, yesterday there was a little snow, the roof can not bear it, but the thatched roof, although it fell, but did not smash people. ”

Tong Xue nodded, "There are no casualties, it's just a blessing." Is there anything else? ”

Lu Wang hesitated for a moment, but continued, "The price of cotton in the city has increased fivefold overnight. Food prices are also rising. ”

Tong Xue had already estimated this matter, so when Lu Wang said, he was not surprised, "Cotton is not cheap in the first place, but now that the price has risen, many families can't afford it." ”

Lu Wang continued, "There is no cotton in Yuzhou, and it is all transported from other places, but it is snowing in Yuzhou, and we are afraid that the road to the north is not so easy." It is estimated that in a short period of time, cotton will not come, and the adult said, the price of this cotton, I am afraid that the price will rise. ”

"I see." Tong Xue's heart was a sigh, speaking of the most direct impact of the snow disaster, in addition to frostbite and freezing to death, crushing houses, the strictest thing is not to block traffic, even in modern times, there is that kind of car jam in the snow for several days, not to mention this kind of traffic now.

Yuzhou does not produce cotton, can only come in from outside, so on the first day, the soaring price of cotton is directly reflected, but Fanzhou City also does not produce grain, grain is from the surrounding villages in, although the price of grain does not rise as much as cotton, but if the weather continues, the price of grain must also rise.

Tong Xue asked, "Xianggong, is there anything he can do?" ”

"Your Excellency is thinking about what to do. ”

Xu Wan looked at Tong Xue, who had been sitting there in a daze since she said a few words to Lu Wang, and couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking?" ”

"I'm wondering when this snow will end."

That night, Tong Xue waited until late, and Xu Wenda didn't come back, thinking that he was too busy in the yamen, and even Xu Wenyuan didn't see anyone for a night.

When Tong Xue woke up the next day, she saw that the pillow next to her was slightly sunken, and there was a heel of hair on it, it seemed that Xu Wenda came back yesterday and slept for a while, but he went out so early, I don't think he slept for long.

Tong Xue didn't expect to see Shopkeeper Liu in the morning. Looking at Shopkeeper Liu, who she hadn't seen for a long time, Tong Xue said, "Shopkeeper Liu, a rare guest." ”

Lu Wang hesitated for a moment, but continued, "The price of cotton in the city has increased fivefold overnight. Food prices are also rising. ”

Tong Xue had already estimated this matter, so when Lu Wang said, he was not surprised, "Cotton is not cheap in the first place, but now that the price has risen, many families can't afford it." ”
