Chapter 195: Heavy Snow Blocks the Road
In the middle, Ye Xiaoyu woke up once, subconsciously searched around for Qinglang's figure, and when she saw that Qinglang was clearing the snow covering the outside of the mushroom room with sleepy eyes, she closed her eyes with peace of mind.
When I opened my eyes again, the sun had risen outside the thatched hut, the snow on the ground had almost melted, and the earth had returned to its original color.
Although the snow melts, the snow is still a headache. The soil in the paddy field was originally very wet, but now it was washed by the snow and became muddy in an instant, Ye Xiaoyu stared at the cotton shoes on her feet, not knowing how to go out.
But the sunny day is very pleasant.
I don't know what he used, but a fire rose in the original fire, and the sunlight combined with the temperature of the fire, even if the outside temperature was low, the mushroom room could maintain a certain high temperature.
Although the sunlight could shine into the thatched hut, Ye Xiaoyu wanted to go out to bake the fire, and stared at her shoes again, so she gave up silently. When I go out, the shoes on my feet will definitely be soaked, so I can't ask Qinglang to come in and carry her out, right?
Hearing the sound in the shed, Qinglang turned his head and saw that it was Ye Xiaoyu, so he put the wooden stick in his hand aside, added some firewood to the fire, and then turned around and walked towards the thatched shed.
"The snow is almost gone, you can go back."
Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu was still wrapped in a quilt, he said lightly, as if he had been waiting for Ye Xiaoyu to wake up since just now.
"That'...... Fire? ā
The fire is still burning in the field, so go back. No one is here to care, and even though it's getting wet all over now, what if it burns?
"The people have come."
Qinglang said, pointing to the ridge.
Sure enough, at the junction of the ridge and the road, a middle-aged man dressed in short clothes came down, and at a glance he knew that it was someone from the village who had invited him to help.
The bare branches of the trees on the ground were covered with frozen snow, and when the sun shone, the melted snow water carried ice crystals and kept falling to the ground. There was a "knock" sound.
Ye Xiaoyu leaned against the bamboo bed. Looking up at the clear sky, the sunlight outside shining through the eaves of the thatched hut and sprinkling on half of his face, as if he were a soldier in a mask. Ye Xiaoyu suddenly wanted to go to the sky and snow again. That way she can build a snowman with Sunny again. This time. She swore she would pile it up seriously.
The snow not only muddy the fields, but also potholes the roads. Because it is all dirt roads, the snow has melted. As soon as the snow washed away, it turned into a swamp in an instant. In such road conditions, the carriage naturally couldn't pass, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't, so she had to ride back to Lujiazhuang with Qinglang.
The road was full of mud, the horses walked very slowly, and with every step, Ye Xiaoyu leaned towards the sunny back, and the noon sun cast on the grass beside the road where the snow had not completely opened, and the light shook Ye Xiaoyu's eyes. Anyway, there was a sunny sky in front of her, and she began to feel a little drowsy.
The horse may be moving only a little faster than the tortoise. When Ye Xiaoyu and the others arrived at Lujiazhuang, Hong'er began to prepare dinner.
"Hey, Ye Xiaoyu, you didn't come back yesterday?"
I wanted to have lunch in the kitchen with peace of mind, but I didn't expect to meet Lu Qian here. And today she didn't have Liu Yu by her side.
"Well, take care of the mushrooms in the field."
Ye Xiaoyu replied casually, and did not stop the action of putting vegetables in her mouth.
"With that mute cousin of mine?"
Lu Qian's expression was shy, and the whole person leaned over, as if he was spying on a very important military situation.
"yes, it's a turn. He's all alone these days, and I'm a little upset. ā
didn't think about it so much, Ye Xiaoyu answered truthfully.
"Oh, he's so boring, you don't have to worry about him at all, because this kind of person is sophisticated, and he doesn't understand it."
Lu Qian moved her chair and sat down beside Ye Xiaoyu.
Thinking of the sunny face, Ye Xiaoyu didn't know how to answer, did he really not understand, or did he not want to understand?
"By the way, I heard that he is very popular in Yuejing?"
Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu was eating seriously, Lu Qian asked again. Compared to the previous question, it was clear that she was more interested in this.
"Who did you listen to?"
"Uncle Yang, it is said that Xiao Ou mentioned it when he was chatting with Uncle Yang, which I never thought of."
Lu Qian moved the chair and asked Ye Xiaoyu to go over and put the bowl away, and continued. This cousin of hers has a black face since he was a child, and he is usually silent like a mute, and Lu Qian is reluctant to approach him, let alone talk to him.
But now I heard that he is so popular in Yuejing, whether it is true or not, this is funnier than a joke.
"If that's the case, a fool has a fool's luck, and if he marries a daughter-in-law in the capital, his aunt's mouth will probably be happy to the back of her head, and she arranged a delivery job for him, which is really right."
Lu Qian got up from her chair and continued to smile. That tone sounded as if the sun had already decided on a family affair in the capital.
"Those girls are just looking at it, do you really think you'll marry him? Even if the girl agrees, the family will not agree. ā
Ye Xiaoyu replied casually, just sunny and ghostly, and after the enthusiasm of those girls for his good-looking face cooled, it dispersed, how could anyone really want to marry him, it was really laughable. His symptoms of "intermittent muteness" can't stand anyone who stays with him.
This year's snow fell a little fiercely, after that day, it snowed for several days, "Ruixue Mega Year", the people of Quanxiu Village were very happy to see the snow, but Ye Xiaoyu was not happy, this heavy snow flying in the sky, although it was good for the crops in the field, but it also blocked the road from Quanxiu Village to the capital. The road is blocked, and the vegetables in Lujiazhuang can't be transported, but if they are not harvested, they are afraid of rotting in the ground, especially the cabbage, which has been going on for so many days, and the cabbage in the cellar is almost unstoreable.
So it's really a very depressing thing to have underdeveloped transportation.
This year, there was plenty of rain, good sunshine, and snow, and the crops in the fields were growing well. I thought I could take advantage of this time to make a lot of money, but now because of the inconvenience of transportation, I can only store it in the zĆ i cellar. It's already the tail of November, and after a while, the New Year is approaching, and many people are returning to their hometowns for the New Year, and the vegetable business in the Yuejing market will definitely decline.
But the fact that the road is blocked is there, and Ye Xiaoyu can only be anxious.
Fortunately, all the clothes completed in the workshop were transported to the shop in Yuejing for storage, otherwise the road would be so blocked, and the clothes in the shop would be even more miserable. It was out of stock not long after it opened, can this business be done, and do you still want word of mouth?
It snowed heavily for several days, and the roads were blocked, so not only could the vegetables not be transported, but also people could not get out. Therefore, Ye Xiaoyu also stayed in Lujiazhuang for several days in a row, visiting Nanyuan's workshop, sewing handkerchiefs, and occasionally cooking when he was interested, and his small life was very comfortable.
But Ye Xiaoyu had no intention of appreciating this kind of comfort, because she had not returned to the shop in Yuejing for a long time to see when she came back to grow mushrooms, and she wanted to go back after planting mushrooms, but she encountered heavy snowfall, she couldn't get out, and the letters outside couldn't come in, so she could only silently pray that nothing would go wrong.
Jiang Ping has also frowned these days, often standing in front of the window and looking at the goose feathers and heavy snow in the sky, Ye Xiaoyu passed by her several times without noticing. Knowing that she was worried about the road to the south, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't bear to disturb her, and by the way, she pulled Lu Qian, who was talking loudly, away.
On snowy days, the happiest person in Lujiazhuang is only Lu Qian, and maybe Liu Yu. Originally, Lu Qian usually couldn't find fun to pass the time, and when it snowed, it made her boring days come alive in an instant, pulling Liu Yu to build a snowman and have a snowball fight with Ye Xiaoyu, and more often, Lu Qian was tired of being in Ye Xiaoyu's house in Nanyuan, pulling Liu Yu up, and telling Hong'er to prepare some snacks to eat, and the three of them sat all day.
In fact, Ye Xiaoyu was a little curious about how he spent the sunny days these days, without the daily delivery work, and did not appear in front of Ye Xiaoyu and them, he was not seen in the courtyard building snowmen and snowball fights, could it be that he was all nested in the bedroom of the East Wing these days? Ye Xiaoyu made up for the appearance of Qinglang and Lu Meijiao alone, one was as enthusiastic as fire, one mouth kept ringing like firecrackers, and the other was as cold as ice, and he couldn't say a word for a day, and he suddenly felt a little terrifying. With such completely different personalities, are these two really mother and son?
Because everyone was there and the snow had stopped, Jiang Ping brought up yƬ to have lunch together.
In fact, Ye Xiaoyu didn't want to go out, the snow stopped, but the outside of the house was not only slippery, but the temperature was also extremely low. But this is Jiang Ping's mentions, no matter how unwilling she is, Ye Xiaoyu still freshened up and put on thick cotton clothes to go out.
At the dinner table, the people of the Lu family came very together, except for Lu Yishou, who went south to do business, all the people who lived in Lujiazhuang came, and even the sunny sky that had disappeared for several days was obediently sitting at the dinner table at this time.
"Xiaoyu, don't wear men's clothes at home on a snowy day, right? What a girl dresses like this......"
At the dinner table, Lu Meijiao opened her mouth to Ye Xiaoyu again. It's right that the words are joking, but in the ears, Ye Xiaoyu just feels a little unhappy.
"Auntie, don't worry about it, Ye Xiaoyu likes to wear it like this."
Lu Qian sandwiched a piece of chicken, glanced at Lu Meijiao and said.
Since she was very young, she felt that this aunt was a little strange, she was overly enthusiastic all day long, and her mouth never stopped, which made Lu Qian feel a little annoyed. But annoyance, after all, Lu Meijiao is an elder, even if Lu Qian is willful, as long as Lu Meijiao doesn't provoke her, Lu Qian will not take the initiative to talk about her. (To be continued......)
