Winter days are always the hardest.

I don't know how the temperature is, but it drops so fast all of a sudden.

Yesterday, it was only snowing all night. But after this morning, the snow was getting heavier and heavier.

Moreover, the cold wind from the northwest is blowing more and more violently.

Wu Guifang felt it firsthand.

She had only walked a few steps outside and she felt like she couldn't hold on.

Because of the cold wind outside, it was too much. They were so fierce that Wu Guifang really couldn't bear it.

Wu Guifang made a conservative estimate and felt that the cold wind outside was almost there, and the fourth-level wind was so strong.

Wu Guifang knew that he now had more than 120 pounds. With such a real weight, she was blown by the fierce blowing of the northwest wind in winter.

Feeling that the house at home was blown by the strong wind, she was very worried in her heart.

After returning to the house and squatting by the fire to roast the fire, Wu Guifang shivered and told Wu Hongsheng.

"It's too cold outside. I just walked outside for a while, and I felt like I really couldn't bear it. ”

"It's not even the depths of winter, and the weather is already like this. If it were a little colder outside, I think it would really freeze to death. ”

Wu Hongsheng listened and said softly, "Many people are born to suffer. Especially born into a poor family like us, which has declined. ”

"I don't ask for anything else now, I just ask for this baby in your womb to be a male baby."

"If he is a male baby, then I will take advantage of the fact that I am still young and strong, and risk my life to fight for him."

Wu Hongsheng had already faintly felt at this time that there should be a ruling crisis in the Great Dragon Kingdom.

Wu Hongsheng has read history books. He knew that the longest reign of this dynasty was only 500 years.

And these 500 years are also divided into two sections.

The first paragraph is the branch of the Eight Classics, and in the latter paragraph, the ruling power of the entire country falls to other people with the same surname.

After watching too many dynastic changes in history books, Wu Hongsheng faintly felt that the country's qi was declining.

Just like his family.

Thinking that there were many poor families in history, all of whom started by military exploits, Wu Hongsheng's ambition hidden in the depths of his heart was unconsciously revealed.

He thought to himself that if the opportunity really fell on his head, then relying on the strength of his generation, plus the next generation, two whole generations, then they might really be able to create a new dynasty.

In this world, there are many men who have fantasized that they should be the ninety-five.

Even if you can't be the Ninth Five-Year Honor, then you can become a general who holds the power of the world.

With such thoughts, Wu Hongsheng never told anyone around him.

However, sometimes, he mentions a few words vaguely in front of his daughter-in-law.

It's a pity that Wu Guifang didn't really understand him.

Wu Guifang is thinking about this year now, how should she spend this winter?

Just when she was frowning and meditating, the Niu family, which was not far from them, was about to quarrel now.

"Daddy! Let's all get moving! It's so cold, so let's get in and weave more straw sandals out of those dried branches......"

As soon as Niu Caigao heard his son say such things, he was distraught.

Straw sandals?

Where does he have the time to weave straw sandals now?

He's dying now!

Yesterday, when it snowed heavily, he could already faintly hear wolves howling outside.

And it's not just that!

Their family now mainly relies on the fish in the river to maintain food and clothing.

Like the hairy chestnuts piled up in the warehouse, he didn't move a single one!

He thought to himself that while the river was not frozen yet, they would be able to save a few more days of food by catching a few more fish.

Moreover, Niu Caigao still thought, should these men eat a few more days to eat?

Then go catch rabbits.

If they all catch rabbits, then they will at least have a small hair shoulder to wear.

Thinking of this, Niu Caigao couldn't help but sigh, and then said to his youngest son in a bad mood.

"I am not as good as you in the craft of weaving straw sandals. If you want to be filial to me, you can weave me a few more pairs. ”

Seeing this old man sitting there, not moving, Niu Sanduo sighed helplessly.

Then, he continued to take the others around him and began to weave straw sandals in a race against time.

The straw sandals made by Niu Sanduo were slowly improved after careful consideration.

In the past, the straw sandals they made were not thick at the bottom, and they were not warm at all.

However, the straw sandals that Niu Sanduo is now making are almost 4 centimeters thick on the sole alone. Moreover, they are woven like boots, reaching directly to the knees of the person.

As for the barrel of the boots, it is particularly dense that the cow Sanduo knits. At the very least, they won't leak on all sides.

It took Niu Caigao three days to make such a pair of sturdy, good-looking straw sandals that block the wind.

After Niu Caigao made the finished product, the rest of the family was surprised.

And after Niu Caigao saw such a finished product for the first time, he suddenly felt that his youngest son really had some ability.

Under the service of Niu Sanduo, Niu Caigao put on the first pair of boots in the family.

"Dad, how are you feeling?"

"Do you think these shoes fit? Do you like it or not? ”

"Why don't you take two steps on the ground? Let's see if these shoes fit......"

Noticing the people around him, they all looked at him with blank eyes, and their eyes were full of freshness.

Originally, he still looked at Niu Caigao, who his son couldn't look down on, and his face was full of brilliance.

"Okay, these shoes are really good!"

"This shoe is light and practical. Much better than the shoes I used to buy......"

Since he got such a pair of straw boots made by his youngest son, Niu Caigao was reluctant to take them off when he slept at night.

Seeing that Niu Caigao really liked this, Niu Sanduo thought about it and told him.

"Dad, I see that the weather is getting colder and colder. But we are a big family, and our clothes have not yet been settled. ”

"And, in this cold winter, we also have to cover the quilt. We're going to wear shoes, too. Without a quilt or shoes, we can survive the younger ones, but for those who are old like you, including those who are younger, I am worried that I will be frozen by this day. So, I'm thinking about it now, let's just gather together first, concentrate on big things, and make all the shoes we want to wear and the clothes we want to wear. ”

"The boots I make, although not very warm, are much stronger than some children, some women, and barefoot......
