Chapter 296: Do Your Part

Village Chief Wang rang the gong where he could go, shouting for all families to send labor to shovel the road, and quickly shovel out the road.

Even if you can't hear the shout of Village Chief Wang across the field, the sound of the gong lets everyone know what to do, which has been done in previous years.

Therefore, soon everyone from each family responded, and some even went out and shouted a few voices, conveying the meaning of the village to each other.

Lin Ping'an couldn't help but smile when he heard the shouts outside in the house, but he didn't need to respond.

Because these days, the steps, yard, and village road outside the yard have been shoveled clean by the son-in-law and his two subordinates, just so that they can walk at the door of the house every day.

Because even if Lin Yanniang is willing to nest in the house every day, she has to come out two or three times a day, otherwise she will panic, Yun Jingning is very cautious in this regard.

Even if the snow doesn't stop falling every day, the steps must be clean, and the yard is swept with a big broom.

Now that the snow has stopped, it is natural to clean it up completely, and pile the snow aside to pile up some strangely shaped snowmen, waiting for it to melt slowly.

Hearing the shouts outside, Yun Jingning put down the book and got off the kang.

"I'm going to help with the shovel too, so let's do my part."

"Go ahead, let my mother boil hot water in the pot first, and take a hot bath when you come back, don't catch a cold."

Lin Yanniang sat on the kang, doing needlework in her hands, and did not stop the man's kindness, but only admonished.

When it was cold, they often sat on the kang and set the kang table out.

When a man reads, writes, and handles official documents, she folds up the quilt opposite and sits comfortably, making small clothes slowly and leisurely, until she no longer catches up with the clothes of adults.

"I asked Can'er Jie'er to come over here to practice boxing." Yun Jingning wore a thick robe, did not wear a cotton robe, changed into a pair of leather boots and went out, but said a word.

Lin Yanniang didn't object, and responded casually.

Knowing that he was worried that he would stay alone in the house and be inconvenient to move, he would have to slowly get off the kang and pour it by himself when he took a sip of tea, and someone in the yard was always good to summon some.

He also sighed before, it would be good if he went back to Beiguan for the New Year, the yard was big, and he could leave a few people around to take care of her, so that she would be more relaxed.

She didn't refute his thoughts, only explained from the bottom of her heart.

"After all, this is the place where I was born and raised, I grew up here, all the environment and lifestyle have long been accustomed to, everything has to be served, I am afraid that it will take a while to get used to it."

He also accepted her thoughts considerately, and still took care of her carefully, and the two of them took care of this warm and expectant time together.

When Lin Yanniang poured water from the kang, she opened the door and stood against the door frame, looking at the sky outside, listening to the noisy laughter and shouting outside......

In previous years, she also led her younger brothers to clean the road in front of the door, and she never relied on others, but she didn't have the spare energy to help other families in the village.

And now, the man leads two of his subordinates, that is, three laborers, and their yards have long been cleaned, and now they are all helping the villagers to clear the road.

Driven by them, the descendants and men of various families are also unwilling to lag behind, and they are naturally busy.

Quickly cleaned up all the village roads here, and went down to Tian Ji under the leadership of Yun Jingning.

Coupled with the participation of the hunters, the entire field was cleared, and the whole village was opened.

The hunters have not gone up the mountain for a few days, because the snow is too heavy and the visibility in the mountains and forests is not high, so it is better to rest at home.

Waiting for the snow to stop before going up the mountain is their usual practice, and there is no need to discuss it beforehand.

When everyone saw Yun Jingning coming out, they asked him if he wanted to go up the mountain together tomorrow, there were still a lot of prey in the mountains after the snow.

Because of the heavy snowfall, the town has not come to collect the hunt, if the hunt does not come tomorrow, they can send it to the town, the last few times the price is good, they are also happy to run.

Yun Jingning also wanted to hunt, but he thought that his daughter-in-law at home was incapacitated, and he didn't dare to go far in this weather, so he didn't agree immediately, but said that he would go tomorrow, and if he didn't go, he didn't go.

This made everyone laugh, and they didn't ask again.

It is regarded as the two archers in the team of Daxi Village, these two people are not going up the mountain now, one is at home and the other is escorting military rations outside.

Now he has come back, but he only stays with his daughter-in-law every day, and has never hunted with them in the mountains.

However, last time, everyone also found out that Yun Ji and Yun Xiao are good, if they follow their team, I am afraid that they will be archers again.

Therefore, they felt that even if Yun San didn't go, as long as Yun Ji and Yun Xiao went, it would be done.

After resting at home for a few days, of course, I hope to gain more when I go up the mountain, and bring two good players in the team, of course, I have more chances of winning.

After everyone had shoveled all the snow off the village road, each family also swept away the snow in front of their houses, and the empty laborers were called by the village chief and walked everywhere.

One is that even if the house is not solid and will collapse after being pressed by the heavy snow for a few days, I will help clean up some broken and dilapidated places.

There are also the foot of the mountain, the streamside, and the slope ridge with hoes and shovels to explore, afraid of landslides.

This busy time was more than an hour, and everyone packed up and went home.

After Yun Jingning came back, he fetched water, but he wanted to go back to the house to bathe, and asked Lin Yanniang to help him wash his hair.

Lin Yanniang glared at him: "Go to the bath by yourself!" ”

"The bath is for Yunji Yunxiao, and they are also busy sweating." Yun Jingning explained confidently.

As they were talking, Lin Can and Lin Jie came over with a bath bucket, because the bath bucket at my brother-in-law's house was not enough.

Seeing that the brothers even moved the bath tub, Lin Yanniang didn't want to scold the man in front of them again, so as not to lose the face of being a brother-in-law.

Just like this, the doors and windows were closed, the curtains were closed, Yun Jingning soaked comfortably in the hot water, Lin Yanniang moved a pestle and sat aside, rolled up her sleeves to help him wash his hair and rub his back......

While scooping cold water into the empty bucket, while adding hot water to the bath bucket, looking at the man's expression of enjoyment, Lin Yanniang's depression had already dissipated.

That night, the man brought hot water again, saying that he wanted to reciprocate, and he personally served her to bathe despite her objections.

The house with the hot kang is warm, and it is also spring, and the color is boundless.

……

In the blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching, and the weather is gradually clearer, but the north wind is still cold, and from time to time people are shivering coldly.

But those who are going out are still going to be ready to go out.

In the early years, most of the married women led their husbands and children back to their parents' homes to bid farewell to the New Year.

On this day, the Zhou family who went to the customs naturally did not return, the weather was cold, although the road could be walked, I am afraid that it was not very convenient, and the New Year was the time to be busy with business.

Therefore, the Lin family didn't worry about whether they would return or not.

Lin Xueshan has to wait for Chinese New Year's Eve to return, and this time is also a busy time, and he can't spare time.

When it came, Lin Jinhua took Wang Mingliang to take the carriage early and returned in a very high-profile manner.
