Shen Moli said it well, on the third day, the temperature plummeted, and the charcoal basin in the study couldn't drive away the cold. Zhao Xiangyi shouted coldly and asked for a few more charcoal basins, Zhao Jingxuan instructed the girl to take two charcoal basins, and asked people to take three cotton gowns.

Shen Moli saw snowflakes floating in the yard through the curtain lifted by the girl, and the cold and freezing had already begun.

As soon as the snow just started, the windows of Shen's house were supported with straw to prevent the heavy snow from wetting the window paper, and cotton curtains and straw curtains were hung inside and outside the door to block the cold and maintain the temperature in the house. Speaking of these straw curtains, they are all made of wheat straw left over after the wheat harvest, or when the wheat is harvested, Shen Moli hired a car to pull them into the vacant warehouse of the mansion. At that time, it attracted the sideways glances of many servants, and Shen Yun was only a child, and he just let it go. When Zhao Chenjing was busy purchasing cold materials, Shen Moli gave him all the wheat straw in a warehouse. At this time, many poor families in Baoji County have hung up the curtains distributed by the county government for free, although this thing is vulgar, it is very practical.

Looking at the snowflakes one by one, two, three, or four, they were not in a hurry, and they fell melodiously from the air like petals. Shen Moli, who decided to stay at home for a long time because of the bad weather, was pulled back to reality by her mother's voice before she had time to sigh.

"What does this kid think! Put down the sash and be careful if you catch a cold! Zhou Wanqing, who was sitting on the kang embroidering, looked up and saw her daughter looking outside in a daze.

Shen Moli was called back to his senses by his mother's voice, and was about to close the window, when the raindrops that were spreading joy outside suddenly screamed a few times, wagged his tail and ran to the courtyard gate without waiting for anyone to come, his front paws scratched hard at the door bolt, and the door bolt fell to the ground with a "snap", squeezed open the door and ran to the street.

Shen Moli sighed that he had trained the dog well, thinking that his father was back at this time, and he was wondering, and his brother who was covered in wind and snow entered the door, and Yudi followed closely with a flattering wagging tail.

"It's my brother who is back!" Shen Moli hurriedly closed the window, walked a few steps and opened the door.

Shen Jianhui lifted the curtain and entered the house, and the rain followed in quietly, and while Zhou Wanqing was not paying attention, he slipped through the wall and ran to the window to crawl.

"Mother, sister, I'm back." Shen Jianhui took off his cotton hat and patted the snow on it.

"Come back at this time, but you have a break?" Zhou Wanqing hurriedly put down the work in her hand, "Come and sit on the kang to warm up!" ”

Shen Moli poured a cup of hot water and handed it to his brother, "Brother, drink some water to warm up." ”

Shen Jianhui took the cup and drank it in one go, "Well, it's a holiday!" As he spoke, he put down his cup, moved a low stool, and sat by the charcoal basin to warm up.

"Why are you dressed so thinly, didn't I give you cotton clothes." Zhou Wanqing said distressedly, hurriedly turned around and took out a newly made cotton coat from the cabinet and handed it to her son, "Hurry up and put it on, don't freeze." ”

Shen Jianhui took the clothes and put them on, "A classmate who lives outside the city didn't have time to prepare cotton clothes and felt the wind and cold, thinking about the wind and snow all the way, he gave him the clothes to wear. ”

"What a silly boy with solid eyes! Your sister made this one for you, so you can't give it away. Zhou Wanqing added a few more pieces of charcoal to the charcoal basin, "How long do you rest?" ”

"The county government sent someone to inform the students that the weather was freezing before the year, and they were afraid that the students would not be able to stand it, so they would wait for the spring of the year to start classes again. The snow outside was knee-high, and when I came back, I met my father leading the officials and the big guys to clear the snow on Gulou Street. Shen Jianhui also wanted to help, but he didn't have the strength to shovel the frozen snow.

"It's been snowing for five days, and your dad has been busy outside for five days." Zhou Wanqing was worried that her husband would catch a cold and be cold.

"I've heard that some houses outside the city have been crushed by snow." Shen Jianhui said the rumors he had heard.

This has just begun, this heavy snowfall that has lasted for more than a month has really blocked Baoji into a lonely city, and Shen Moli is worried that there will be people who will not be able to survive this winter.

In the evening, Shen Botao came back from the yamen.

Zhou Wanqing looked at the sky and frowned and said, "You just went to do a favor, you get up early every day and are greedy for darkness." As he spoke, he took the cotton shirt that Shen Botao took off, "The clothes are all wet!" ”

Shen Botao patted the snow on his body: "I'm idle at home, and I can help the big guys feel at ease." ”

"Daddy, hurry up and drink a bowl of ginger syrup!" Shen Moli took the freshly boiled steaming ginger syrup and handed it to his father.

Shen Botao took the bowl and said while drinking: "Madam, today I heard that Aunt Li in the Chenjing Mansion had a cold and died. Although she is an aunt, there are many things to do in these days, and the eleventh sister must be busy, so you can go over tomorrow to see if there is anything you need help with. ”

"Oh yo, why did this happen! I'll be there early tomorrow morning. "It's sad enough to meet such a thing at this juncture, Zhou Wanqing shook her head and said.

This Aunt Li, who has only heard her name and has not seen her, will have today's ending, which is expected by Shen Moli, and she wanted to persuade her mother not to go, but she thought that it would be reasonable to go over to help. "Daddy, how are you doing outside these days?"

Shen Botao thought about the daytime and sighed, "This snow has been falling for five days, and the snow on the road is frozen and I can't walk the car, so I cleared the snow for my father and everyone for a day." Your uncle is busy rehousing the victims, and if the snow falls again, many houses will have to collapse, and he is preparing to organize people to inspect the load-bearing conditions of the dilapidated houses to avoid smashing and injuring people. ”

"I can't get a car on the road outside the city. If this snow doesn't stop, our county's food will be a problem. Shen Moli didn't know how much grain Zhao Chenjing had stored.

"It's enough for three months of food storage for Quanbao chicken!" Shen Botao thought that Zhao Chenjing had spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to prepare winter supplies, and his tone was full of admiration and gratitude for him, "The common people have met a good official!" ”

Two months later, in the first lunar month, when the temperature rises in spring and the ice and snow melt, the roads connected to the outside world will be open to traffic, so there is no need to worry about eating and drinking, Shen Moli nodded secretly in his heart, Zhao Chenjing is still very accurate, "Uncle arranged it very properly." ”
