Chapter 87: Winter Snow

After a silent winter snowfall, the whole village seems to be plunged into the vast ice and snow, quiet and silent......

And in the courtyard of a corner of Shoushan Village, after this first snow came, it was rare to lick a little calm.

Early in the morning, in the hazy sky, in the small courtyard of the flower family-

"Bang-"

There was a sound of the door being pushed open in the hall, and Hua Li, dressed in a thin cotton coat, jumped out of the room.

Seeing the snow accumulated in the yard, he shrunk his neck, covered his hands, and faced a gust of wind and snow drifting into the eaves, which made him sigh cold.

"Hua Xiao, it's snowing!"

Little Radish shrank back, turned her head, and shouted into the room.

After a while, there was a sound of shuffling footsteps in the house.

Hua Xiao came out of the house, the sides of her cheeks were red from the cold, her long eyelids fluttered, and she looked at the scattered snowflakes that were still falling, and her little brows were wrinkled.

"Why is it snowing so early this time......

She muttered, clenched her stiff fingers, and her frown didn't let go at all.

Fortunately, a few days ago, I came back from the village after changing two quilts and some cotton, and hurriedly added a layer of cotton to the thin winter coats of the four of them, otherwise they would not have any thicker clothes to wear.

But even so, this thin winter coat can't withstand this cold winter at all.

It was only the first snow, and it was already so cold that my hands and feet were stiff, and in the next few months, there would be at least a few heavy snowfalls......

They don't have much charcoal, let alone food for the winter......

Every year during the winter, because there is no work to be done in the fields, they are idle at home to hide from the warmth, and the milk is generally refused to be fed. If they don't want to starve, they have to brave the winter snow into the mountains to forage for food......

If she is in a better mood, she will give them some edible nests, but if she is in a bad mood, they will have nothing to eat and can only go hungry.

Detective Hua Li looked in the direction of the small kitchen several times, and it was quiet, and there was no sound at all.

Hua Xiao also looked over and asked in a low voice, "... Have it? ”

Hua Li shook his head in disappointment, "No." ”

The milk is not in the kitchen, the kitchen is cold, there is no trace of the stove at all......

This also shows that eighty percent of them have nothing to eat today......

Since the end of last month, the milk has stopped their food, there is no work in the field, and most of the guys in the yard have been wrapped by the milk themselves.

Hua Li clutched her hungry stomach and swallowed her dry throat, "I'm so hungry......"

Yesterday, I ate a tortilla brought back by my second brother, and I'm hungry by now.

Hua Xiao walked under the eaves, slowly squatted down, covered her stomach with a pair of cold hands to keep warm, looked at the scattered snowflakes intently, and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, where did you go?" ”

Hua Li shook his head, only to feel that he was hungry, and his hands and feet were a little weak, "I don't know, there is not much charcoal fire in the house, why don't we go out and pick up some dry firewood and come back." ”

It was cold and hungry, the house was cold, the charcoal fire last night burned all night, and it was all extinguished on the third watch, and now the heating covered inside has long been dissipated.

Hua Xiao wiped her face before nodding, "You look at Xiaoying in the house, I'll go to the forest behind to pick up some dry firewood." ”

Xiaoying is still asleep in the house and hasn't woken up, so there must be someone to watch.

"Can you do it yourself?" Hua Li touched the wrist that had already removed the strip of cloth, and asked with swarthy eyes.

"Alright, I won't go far......"

Hua Xiao said, walked into the courtyard where the snow was still floating, picked up the back basket leaning against the corner, carried it, pushed open the wooden door with a "squeak", and walked out.

Hua Li's eyes kept chasing her back until she couldn't see it anymore, then she slowly turned her head, and her eyes fell on the corner of the low wall in the courtyard, full of dry firewood, and her little eyes paused......

They picked it up, but they couldn't use it......

After a while, there was the sound of the door being pushed open behind him.

"What are you doing here?"

It is the sound of the flower.
