The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and there were already signs of a snow disaster, and the commune's collective industry was shut down, because after all, if something happened to people on the road, the factory was responsible.

The commune cadres were also asked to go down to the grassroots level to direct and assist the brigades in disaster prevention work.

There are a total of 16 brigades in the Hongqi Commune, except for the secretary Li Hongjun and the president Fu Ming, everyone else is attached to a brigade.

Su Mo happened to live in the Lujiacun Brigade, so Fu Ming assigned the Lujiacun Brigade to her, in addition to the Lijiaao Production Team.

Although Li Jiaao belonged to the Sha Tin Brigade, it was actually closer to Lujia Village, so in order to facilitate work, it was assigned to Su Mo.

Su Mo and Lu Qing'an went around the brigade every morning, and went to Lijiaao in the afternoon. Running around in the wind and snow every day, I am tired enough.

After Geng Changqing took office, he asked each team to prepare some cold-proof materials in case of emergency, so each team prepared a lot of firewood and a few quilts.

Because it is too cold this year, in addition to those lonely old people and children, some people who saw that it was not too cold last year and were lazy and less firewood this year also came to the brigade to borrow firewood. Soon, half of the firewood in the brigade's reserves was gone.

It's only December, and I don't know what will happen in the future, Lu Baoguo and Lu Qingan are also worried.

The remaining half of the firewood is no longer borrowed, unless there is really no firewood left at home, so you can come to the brigade to borrow it.

In the end, the village cadres discussed and decided to coordinate those lonely and widowed old people, and move in together first.

Then another family went to work, try to sleep on a kang as a family, save some firewood, save when there is not enough firewood.

Su Mo followed Lu Guilan, the women's director who proposed marriage for the Lu family, to Lu Fubao's house. When I went in, I didn't know when the old stone had moved in and lived together.

As soon as Lu Guilan said the purpose, Lu Fubao immediately said that there was no problem and would not cause trouble to the team.

It is impossible to sleep on a kang with them, his firewood is at least enough to burn for more than a month, and when the snow is light, he will go up the mountain to get some.

After patrolling Lujia Village, Su Mo braved the wind and snow to go to Lijiaao in the afternoon.

When he walked to the foot of the village, Su Mo found that there seemed to be smoke coming out of the house at the foot of the village, but in front of the door, the snow was quite thick, and it didn't look like someone had entered.

In order to avoid some criminals hiding inside, Su Mo hurriedly went to Captain Li and told him about the situation.

Captain Li was also taken aback, that room was the home of the spy boy before, maybe it was really possible that the spy found it, because of the heavy snow, he couldn't get out of it.

Captain Li hurriedly called out to the militia and a few strong young men, and a group of people surrounded the house, then shoveled the snow at the door, opened the door and went in to see.

As soon as the door was opened, the smell of excrement hit his face, and the person who hit the head almost gaged, but it was also clear that there was indeed someone hidden in it.

Several members of the militia team hurriedly loaded their guns and let the others stay away, and a few people went in carefully, and after a while, they pulled out a dirty, skinny girl who came out.

Looking at the girl, Captain Li was angry, "Grass girl, are you still alive?" Why don't you say a word when you're back? What are you doing hiding here? No one knows if they freeze to death. ”

The one called the grass girl just hung his head and didn't say a word.

Seeing Su Mo's inquiring eyes, Captain Li explained: "This is the sister of the spy boy, I don't know where I ran in July this year." I also sent people to look for me, but I couldn't find it, and I thought that I had run somewhere, or that I had gone into the mountains and been eaten by wild beasts. ”

Su Mo frowned, she was in confinement at that time, and she wasn't sure if Captain Li had reported the matter.

Su Mo saw that the girl was thin and small, and her figure looked estimated to be five or six years old, wearing a tattered cotton jacket, and her feet were still wearing straw sandals with open mouths, and her exposed hands and feet were red and swollen from the cold, and there were a lot of cracks.

"Captain Li, since the government did not sentence this child, it means that she is innocent and must be properly accommodated. I see that this child is so young, and he is here alone in winter, but I am afraid that it will not be safe. Su Mo said.

The matter of that spy boy, she heard Lu Changzheng say before, many times, people are forced to choose by reality, but if they are wrong, they are wrong.

But this little girl is indeed innocent.

Su Mo has been looking at this house for some years, in case it is crushed by the snow, there will be no one hiding inside.

A little girl, it is estimated that there is not much firewood and food, and I don't know how she survived these days by hiding in it alone.

"yes, I didn't know she's back." Captain Li said, there are also some difficulties, this grass girl has a spy brother, and she is afraid that she will not be happy with it.

If he brought this back to his own home, the mother-in-law of the family would have to fall out with him.

Su Mo also saw Captain Li's embarrassment, so he said, "Take her to the cowshed, it's better than her being here alone." ”

"Okay, then send her to the cowshed." Captain Li immediately made a decision, this is a good idea, everyone is not good, no one should dislike anyone.

As soon as Captain Li said to the grass girl, the girl didn't speak, just nodded, and then followed Captain Li and Su Mo to the cowshed.

"Captain Li, what about this girl's food?" On the way, Su Mo asked.

"Her head rations, I'll have someone deliver them to the cowshed in a moment."

Su Mo nodded, Teacher Gu and his wife are good people, they won't be greedy for this girl's food, the cowshed and the bedding left by their parents can at least sleep warmly.

And just like that, the grass girl was sent to the cowshed. Teacher Gu and his wife are very sensible people, and they are not bad for this girl.

Su Mo would also go over to take a look every day, and took a pair of Lu Aiqin's worn cotton shoes and an old cotton jacket for the little girl.

These old cotton shoes and padded jackets were bought by Su Mo and Dafang, and they don't have to pay for it themselves, the commune has relief funds, and they can apply for reimbursement when the time comes.

If you make a new one, the identity of the grass girl is too eye-catching, and it is estimated that it is easy to be robbed by other children, so it is better to give the old one and wear it safely.

Moreover, Su Mo also gave a pound of new cotton in private, so that Mr. Gu's lover could take the time to help add it.

When the grass girl first arrived at the cowshed, she didn't speak, and her eyes were full of fear and vigilance, and it is estimated that she suffered a lot during that time.

Slowly, seeing that a few people treated her well, they wouldn't beat and scold her, and gave her food and clothing, so she let down her guard.

Su Mo also learned from Teacher Gu that during that time, the grass girls hid in the mountains and ate wild fruits and vegetables when they were hungry. It was too cold in the snow to hide in the mountains, so I went back to the village.

There are still a little sweet potatoes and buds left in her small cellar, and these days they are secretly cooked and eaten in the dead of night. It was so cold that day that I couldn't stand it, so I lit a brazier and baked it, but I didn't expect to be discovered by Su Mo.

On this day, Su Mo routinely came to take a look, and when she was about to leave, she was stopped by the grass girl.

"Auntie, there seem to be bad people on the mountain."
