The snow is too thick today and not a very good idea for building a wooden house.

So today Li Yang proposed to take a day off and wait until the next day to start construction.

Anyway, it's too late to get to the twenty-sixth, if Lin Xue's parents come up, they will find a way to arrange it at that time.

My cousin has a good relationship with Liu Jiahui anyway, so I will go to sleep with Liu Jiahui when the time comes.

The vacant room happened to be given to Lin Zhenxiang and his wife.

If there are other guests, Li Yang will arrange a bed in the living room, anyway, the living room is so big, even if it is arranged with a bed, it doesn't matter, and the sofa is also very large, it is more than enough to sleep two people.

"Dad, here you go", Wang Ziqi took two one-meter-long wooden sticks and handed them to Li Yang.

"Thank you", Li Yang took it with a smile.

Finally, with the joint efforts of Liu Jiahui and Li Yang, as well as Wang Ziqi and the two "guards", a one-meter-tall, chubby snowman appeared.

The two wooden sticks became two arms, and then took a red pepper as a nose, as for the eyes, Liu Jiahui peeled an orange and used the orange peel as the eyes, and from a distance, the color on the snowman's face was very conspicuous.

"Snowman", Wang Ziqi clapped his hands and was very excited.

Li Yang took out his mobile phone, and the three of them took several photos with fat and Qiuqiu.

In order to build this snowman, Li Yang used up almost half of the snow on the dam.

However, in order to ensure that the ground would not be too slippery, Li Yang lifted out the stove placed in the alley.

This stove was made when my grandfather was alive, it is not big, and it is a bit high.

Li Yang had never been very satisfied with this stove, so he decided to make one himself, taking advantage of the time he had in the past two days.

One of the things Li Yang likes to do most in winter is to make a fire for the stove.

After breakfast, Li Yang began to prepare to light a fire.

The things that need to be prepared to make a fire, the first one is the lowest level of dry firewood, Li Yang uses a small pine, a very small kind, and then another kind of leaves, Li Yang can't name it, it is very prickly, and it will make a crackling sound when it burns, which is very easy to burn.

At the top are the larger sticks, and finally the coals.

Every winter, every household stores some coal.

Li Yang remembers that there was a time when it seemed popular to burn briquettes, but later he found that not many families used them, because the briquettes did not burn for too long, and every time a new briquette was added, it would take a while to do so, and if it was when the firepower was needed, it would be more anxious.

Still not as fast as direct coal burning.

Wang Ziqi seemed to see this thing for the first time, and was very curious to come over to help, but was stopped by Liu Jiahui.

"Kiki, you can't move", Liu Jiahui held Kiki's little hand, squatted down and hugged her.

"But why can Dad get it", Wang Ziqi looked at Li Yang preparing to make a fire there, and seemed to want to do it himself.

Li Yang lit a piece of paper, put it underneath, and then began to put in the branches and dry firewood in turn.

Li Yang brought up the blower used by the craftsmen, and he had to use it to repair the foundation last time, so Li Yang bought one and kept it.

The electricity was turned on, the blower was blowing the wind, and the fire suddenly rose, it seemed

Particularly Wang.

"Oh, oh, Mom, look at it, it's such a big fire", Wang Ziqi took Liu Jiahui's hand, looked at the burning flames with excitement, and reflected his little face red.

Li Yang hurriedly put the prepared coal cube into it carefully.

Don't put too much at first to prevent the top from being completely blocked.

Under the action of the blower, the coal quickly burns, but this is only the outer layer of burning, it is just an illusion, and in order to burn completely, the temperature must be reached.

So at this time, Li Yang added some fine cinders to help burn.

After ten minutes, the lumps of coal start to turn red, which indicates that the fire was successful.

After a heavy snowfall, the sun came out, but it was still cold.

Li Yang took advantage of the time when the stove was burning to clear all the snow on the dam, and then moved the stove to make use of the temperature of the furnace to reduce the ice on the ground to completely melt.

After a few moves, the ground near the hut was almost dry.

Li Yang put the stove in the middle of the dam, Liu Jiahui shortened some chairs and a small table, and the family began to pass the time around the stove.

I've been busy lately, and it's rare to have such a free time.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the uncle walked slowly in a pair of rain boots, and he went to see the canal behind.

Since the completion of the canal in the back mountain, the uncle has to go around every day, which is his task.

Because the canal is related to the water diversion problem of the entire Lishu Village, there is no room for sloppiness, and now that the weather is extremely cold, he wants to prevent the waterways from freezing inside, and if the waterways are frozen and blocked, he has to notify Li Yang to remove the ice.

Although the canal was built, in fact, freezing is very common, because the water flow is not very large, the water speed is not fast, and the surface is easy to have broken ice.

"Uncle, no problem, right?" Li Yang got up from his seat and gave up his duties to his uncle.

"Fortunately, there are some ice floes, I have solved it with the secretary, there is no big problem, but the weather is cold, I have to go to see it every day", the uncle said with a cold breath.

"Uncle, I've worked hard for you, and you're still going to do these things on such a cold day", my mother was sifting glutinous rice in her hand, and said with some reluctance.

The uncle waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is nothing, at my age, I am very satisfied to be able to help the village do something."

After lunch, Li Yang was about to go down the mountain, and he wanted to pick up Lin Xue.

The eighteenth is actually already on vacation, but there are still some things in the school, which will only be done on the nineteenth, Jiang Mengjie is going home this afternoon, and Li Yang naturally can't let Lin Xue stay in the town alone.

When he came to the town, Li Yang returned home, and Jiang Mengjie was packing up her things.

"Brother-in-law, I thought you weren't coming," Jiang Mengjie said with a smile.

"Mengjie, when are you coming?" Li Yang asked.

"On the 10th day of the first lunar month, I still hope to spend more time with my parents at home," Jiang Mengjie said with a smile.

"Okay", Li Yang nodded.

Lin Xue packed her luggage and instructed her about something.

Then the two personally sent Jiang Mengjie to the car.

Back in the room, Li Yang and Lin Xue also began to pack their things, Lin Xue will celebrate the New Year at Li Yang's house this year, and all some daily necessities will go up the mountain.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Li Yang and the others will spend most of their time in the mountains.

Put the things away, Li Yang and Lin Xue went to the street to buy a lot of snacks, usually there are a lot of people on the mountain, they still have to prepare some food and the like, and it is decisive that Lin Xue's parents will go up to live for two days, and some things naturally have to be prepared well.

Since the weather got colder, Li Yang had already installed the air conditioner in the remaining room, so this was no problem, and then bought new quilts and sheets, almost all of which were new.

This is not special treatment, but it shows that the two are very attentive.

And sooner or later these things will have to be bought, and later when the two new wooden houses are built, more things will have to be prepared.
