Chapter 69: The Snow Stops

The snow and hail fell for more than three hours and gradually stopped.

In the early morning, the sun peeked out of the clouds, the bitter northwest wind blew through the ground, and the thick snow visibly rose a stream of air that drifted along the wind in all directions, freezing and biting.

After Wei Hongyu finished making breakfast, she soaked some mutton soup with a mouthful of leftover rice from last night, cut each of the two leg bones in half, and put them in four small iron basins, and then brought them into the hall and fed them to eat.

As soon as he entered the door, Da Mao shook his tail and greeted him, grabbed his leg bones, and bit loudly, at this time, Bai Mao came back from outside at a trot, came to the eaves of the hall, and did not enter the house, wrapped in a small red jacket specially sewn by Wei Hongyu for it, standing in place and pulling his paws, humming and chirping in his mouth.

Wei Hongyu was a little funny, the little guy was getting more and more weird now, stepped forward to help it undress, and then wrung a hot towel to wipe it clean with its back and four paws.

After wiping it, Bai Mao shook his hair comfortably, like a king inspecting the territory, paced to his food bowl, glanced at Da Mao, and then lowered his head and began to eat slowly.

When Da Mao saw it, he immediately moved his body and tried to stay away from it.

Probably because it has absorbed a lot of heaven and earth aura, Bai Mao's recent meal has been getting longer, Wei Hongyu is afraid that it will not be full, and the food given to it each time is the most, and it eats slowly, often the other three puppies have eaten, and the food in its food bowl is only half down.

They covet it, but because of its might, they don't dare to move.

In fact, this was not the case at the earliest, Bai Mao had been the most pleasing to Wei Hongyu since he was a child, and the other three couldn't see it, and often provoked.

In this regard, the white hair resolutely implemented force to suppress, at first it was more than the loss and the victory was less, and soon it slowly leveled off, and now the three puppies together can't beat one of it, and gradually formed a trend of four puppies, headed by it.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the village infirmary began to get busy.

Many villagers have suffered from the wind and cold in this blizzard, and have symptoms such as fever and cold.

Those who were in serious cases went directly to the county hospital, while others went to the village infirmary to ask for some fever and cold medicine.

As for hanging salt water bottles and anti-inflammatory antibiotics, don't think about it, these things have been completely out of stock since last week.

Nowadays, even fever and cold medicines have to be sold in tablets, not that the infirmary is black, and if you want to make a fortune by this, it is true that the major pharmaceutical companies in the county and city have long banned the sale of medicines to the outside world, and there is no supply, only you can't get in and out, and the drugs in the warehouse of the infirmary are almost exhausted.

When it was almost noon, Liang Xuetao and Liang Dou accompanied Mrs. Liang to Zhang's house.

Finance of the village committee -- Zhang Chungang's family killed pigs today.

Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Zhang's mother, Mrs. Zhang, have always had a good relationship, and the Zhang family killed pigs, and they came to talk to the old lady.

Today's situation is special, one is because the weather is too cold, some children are trapped at home by the elders, and they are not allowed to go out, and the other is because there are too many people who kill pigs and sheep today.

Thanks to a snowstorm yesterday, dozens of poultry and livestock died overnight in Ota Village.

When the snow stopped and the sun came out, everyone began to be busy dealing with these frozen chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep.

The Zhang family raised a total of five pigs, three of which froze to death last night, and one male and one female were left.

Three pigs will definitely not be able to be killed in one day, but fortunately, the weather is cold, and the pigs will not be damaged for a while.

After killing the pig, Zhang Chungang secretly dragged Liang Xuetao aside and asked if he could exchange pork for something with him.

Money is naturally not wanted, now who doesn't know that money may not be able to buy things, Zhang Chungang's meaning, no matter what, the necessities of daily life are on the line, of course, it is best to change some rice and noodles or something.

Liang Xuetao discussed with his mother, and finally exchanged two bags of flour and some seasonings for a pig's hind leg and a few large bones.

In the afternoon, the children who were studying in the county town also came back one after another.

Last night, several primary and secondary schools in Rongshui County began to cut off water and electricity, and at the same time, school leaders received instructions from their superiors -- asking the school to contact parents as soon as possible and arrange for students to leave school and go home.

Liang Zhuang and Liang Huan, who were studying in boarding schools in Rongshui County, were also taken home by Liang Xuebing and his wife that afternoon.

The family of four walked back to their home on foot, and it took three hours to walk the mountain road to Ota Village.

The only mountain road leading to Datian Village in Rongshui County is winding and rugged, and on such snowy days, even if the car is equipped with snow chains, it can't be opened, but fortunately, the snow only fell for one day and stopped, and it will take another two or three days, maybe the road will be closed.

In the evening, the Liang family gathered together and had a pig-killing dish.

Today's pig-killing dish is a pot of stew, fresh pork, plus vermicelli sauerkraut or something, cooked by Wei Hongyu and Yu Xiaofen,

Afraid that the children and their mother-in-law would be too greasy to eat, they specially mixed a few hot and sour dishes.

Everyone was roasting on the fire, eating fragrant hot dishes, adults chatting, children chasing and frolicking, and the hall of Mrs. Liang's house was very lively for a while.

After eating and drinking, Liang Xuetao led his wife and children home.

Not long after arriving home, Xu Yaoguang suddenly came, drunk, with a mouth full of alcohol.

Wei Hongyu kindly made a cup of strong tea for him, but he didn't expect that as soon as it was served on the table, this guy actually cried on the spot.

"It's better than my sister-in-law, I'm much better than those guys, woo woo woo ......."

Seeing this, Liang Dou and Liang Wen glanced at each other, and couldn't help but cover their mouths with their eyebrows and laugh.

Liang Xuetao drove the two of them back to his room, and when Xu Yaoguang stopped crying with a sob, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Taozi, my day...... It's really boring! Xu Yaoguang wiped his tears and chattered: "In the afternoon, a few brothers in my family had a meeting, my eldest brother meant that Dad couldn't let him be alone, and our four brothers had to take turns, I was not convinced, and I quarreled with him on the spot, and then I talked about Qi Lihuai, guess how my eldest brother replied to me?" ”

Xu Yaoguang sneered and said: "He said that I deserved it, and said that he didn't ask me to stand up for his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and I was the one who caught up with ........"

Liang Xuetao heard this, and had a headache: "Are you crying for this in my house?" ”

"No, you don't know how good my second brother and third brother are, they all pretend to be stupid and stunned, and don't say a word, I ....... hey, Taozi, why are you dragging me?"

Liang Xuetao ignored him, grabbed him, and dragged him home.
