The time soon came to the month of Layue, and the heavy snow did not stop for several days, and the people in the village were also in their own homes, so they didn't come out much.

"It's so cold this day, I don't dare to go out." The Shen family sat around the fire in the hall. Fortunately, Shen Jiaqin had prepared enough firewood for the winter as early as the winter, so he was not afraid of not enough, and it burned all day long, and the whole house was warm.

"Meizi, rest for a while." Liu Bicao saw that Shen Mei had been showing off her cloth all morning, so she dug out the roasted chestnuts from the stove, wiped the ashes on them, peeled them off, and handed them to her.

Shen Mei put down the work in her hand and took the hairy chestnuts handed over by Liu Bicao: "Sister-in-law, you promised the shopkeeper of the embroidery room to send it to him before the year, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish the embroidery." ”

"It's okay to embroider this eye, and it's okay to rest for a while." Liu Boan and Shen Jinxin were sitting together, and Shen's father was teaching the two to weave baskets.

"Boan is right, and there is no hurry to embroider this." Mother Shen sat on the kang and peeled chestnuts.

Liu Bicao thought for a while: "Meizi, how is your little sister's embroidery?" ”

Although I don't know why Liu Bicao asked this, she still answered honestly: "Xiuxiu's embroidery is good, and Sanya and Nizi's embroidery is not bad." What's wrong sister-in-law? ”

"Meizi, you can ask Xiuxiu Sanya and Nizi to help you embroider. If you sell five wen for one piece in the town's embroidery house, you will give them three wen for one, so that you can not only hand over the handkerchief on time, but also let your little sister earn pocket money. ”

In winter, it was cold, and there was not much work in the fields, so many women in the village were idle, and there was nothing to do.

When Shen Mei heard this, her eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law, you are so smart, I'll call you." ”

"What's the panic, it's snowing right now." Shen Jinqian grabbed her. Shen Mei was still a little afraid of her eldest brother, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she stuck out her tongue and went back to sit next to Liu Bicao, muttering bad things about her eldest brother to Liu Bicao. Shen Jinqian seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, turned his head, and Shen Mei immediately sat down when she saw it, pretending to be well-behaved. Shen He saw his sister's appearance, covered his mouth and smiled.

"Uncle Shen, is the aunt at home?" There was an anxious knock outside the door, "Uncle Shen, open the door quickly, something is wrong." ”

Father Shen hurriedly put down the basket in his hand and went out to open the door: "Erwa, what's wrong?" What's so urgent? ”

The person who came was the second son of the Li Zheng family, and he had already had a layer of snow on his body after standing at the door for a while.

"Uncle Shen, hurry, something happened, let my sister-in-law go to Daddy Zhou's house."

Father Shen saw that he was anxious, and his heart sank, afraid that something big had happened: "What's wrong?" ”

The second baby touched the water turned into snow on her face: "The heavy snow collapsed Daddy Zhou's house, and Daddy Zhou's youngest son's leg was smashed, and my father asked me to invite my sister-in-law to take a look." In addition, I will ask you to go to the ancestral hall to help. ”

When Shen's father heard this, he didn't care about Xueda, so he hurriedly called Liu Bicao out, asked Shen Jinqian to accompany her to Father Zhou's house, and took Shen Jinxin and Liu Boan to the direction of the ancestral hall, and asked Shen's mother and Shen Mei not to go out with the two little ones.

When I went out, I saw that the snow was really heavy, and there was a white patch everywhere, and there was snow on the big trees and roofs. The Shen family has been closed for the past few days, so they don't know what is going on outside, Shen's father is sinking, now it seems that this snow may become a natural disaster, thinking that it will be the New Year in the near future, he sighed heavily in his heart, and walked faster with Shen Jinxin.

On the other side, seeing that the thatched huts of several families were collapsed by the heavy snow, Liu Bicao couldn't help but reddened his eyes, not long ago someone in the village went to serve in the conscription, and now it is such a heavy snow, it seems that this year's New Year is not good.

The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, and I couldn't help but hold Shen Jinqian's hand tightly, feeling her uneasiness, Shen Jinqian held her hand instead, and I was also deeply worried in my heart.

Daddy Zhou's house collapsed, and the family temporarily went to Daddy Zhou's second brother's house, when Shen Jinqian and Liu Bicao went one foot deep and one foot shallow, Daddy Zhou's son was lying on the bed crying and shouting in pain, and Aunt Zhou was also wiping tears on the side.

"Bicao, quick, show him quickly, his legs are ......" Father Zhou saw that Bicao was coming, and hurriedly gave up his seat and let Liu Bicao see the disease.

The people in the room didn't dare to speak, and even their breathing was lightened, for fear of disturbing Liu Bicao to give people a look.

"How's it going?" Aunt Zhou saw Liu Bicao stop and hurriedly asked.

Father Zhou's youngest son is only ten years old, and the eldest son in the family went to serve in the military a few years ago, but he didn't come back in the end, and now there is only such a young son in the family.

Liu Bicao looked at Father Zhou and Aunt Zhou's white hair, a little unbearable, blinked her eyes, and forced her tears back: "My life was saved, but my leg died too seriously because of the injury, and it will be a little different from ordinary people after it is better." ”

"It's good to have no worries about life, it's good, and ...... in the future Will I be able to walk in the future? Father Zhou wiped away his tears.

Liu Bicao nodded hurriedly, looked at Father Zhou, who was bent over by life, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I just can't do heavy work, and there will be some pain in rainy days in the future." ”

"Bi girl, thanks to you, such a big snow is still coming, and the diagnosis is ...... I...... Don't worry, I will definitely give it to you in the future...... Look at ......" Aunt Zhou wiped away her tears, a little embarrassed to say that she couldn't pay for the consultation.

Liu Bicao heard the meaning of her words, and hurriedly held her rough and cracked hand: "Aunt Zhou, I still need your help." ”

Father Zhou and Aunt Zhou are rare optimistic people in the village, if they directly say that they don't want to diagnose money, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate, so Liu Bicao said that she needs help.

"You said, as long as I can help, I will definitely help." Aunt Zhou nodded again and again.

"I don't do a good job of making shoes, my mother's eyes don't see the needlework clearly, Xiaohe and Jinyan's winter shoes are going to trouble my aunt."

"No trouble, no trouble." Aunt Zhou also knew what Liu Bicao meant, and hurriedly agreed.

After explaining some things to Aunt Zhou, he went to the ancestral hall with Shen Jinqian to see if anyone was injured due to the heavy snowfall.

When I arrived at the ancestral hall, I saw that there were already several families in the ancestral hall, either injured by heavy snow, or the cotton clothes at home were not thick and the firewood was not enough and they had a cold.

Liu Bicao didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly went to check everyone's pulse, and asked Shen Jinqian's family to take Shen Mei over to help. Shen Mei learns from Liu Bicao every day, and she can still help Liu Bicao a little favor.

After being so busy for several days, Liu Bicao was idle, although Liu Bicao and Li saw a doctor, there was still an old man who couldn't stand it and left.

The heavy snow that didn't stop made the whole village lifeless. It also makes people panic all day long.

After another two days like this, God seemed to hear people's hearts, and the heavy snow finally slowly decreased, and I was relieved to see the slowly falling snow.

The Shen family, as before, sat around the fire.

"When the snow stops, I'll go to town." Shen Jinqian took out the cooked potatoes in the stove and handed them to Shen He and Shen Mei.

Bicao, who was sitting on the side sewing clothes, listened, stopped what he was doing and thought about it slightly: "You went to town to buy things for the New Year?" ”

Shen Jinqian nodded: "It's not just the things for the New Year, but also the ones you need next year." ”

"Next year?" Liu Bicao asked puzzled.

Shen Jinqian was silent for a while before he whispered: "It has been snowing for so long, and our village is like this, I'm afraid I don't know what's going on outside, so I'll go to the town to inquire about the news." ”

A few adults are not stupid, and after thinking about Shen Jinqian's words a little, they understand that this heavy snow has been falling for so long, I am afraid that it is already a natural disaster.

"Brother-in-law, I'll go with you." Liu Boan was able to eat enough for every meal when he arrived at the Shen family, he grew a lot taller, and he was stronger than before.

Shen Jinxin saw that Liu Boan was going, and he also said that he was going. Shen Jinqian didn't speak again, just nodded and agreed.
