At the end of December, the 53rd day of the snowstorm officially landed in China.

In a small village in the northeast, Sun Changliang was standing in front of the window, staring at the thick snow outside that was big enough to bury people alive.

He is eleven years old this year, and although he grew up in the Northeast, he has never seen such a ferocious snowfall.

In the past, the snow was heavy, but when I got home, turned on the heating, and then covered the quilt on the kang, I couldn't feel the cold.

But this year's snow has made their home heating an ornament - as early as when the snow fell for more than ten days, the old and old heater was burned out due to overuse.

Now their family can only nest on their own kang, wrapped in a quilt to keep out the cold, even if they wear a large mink, they can't stand it.

"Mom, when do you think this snow will stop?"

After watching it for a while, Sun Changliang said something almost dreamlikely.

The grandmother, who was sitting on the other side of the kang knitting a sweater, didn't look up, and replied to him directly, "How do I know?

"I can't ask God, I can only ask you!" Sun Changliang came back to his senses and said to his mother with a smile, "By the way, does Dad have a call back?"

"No!" said Grandma, still wearing her sweater.

The Northeast is already poor, and Sun Changliang's family is in a ravine, which belongs to a poor area, and there is no future for development, so for the livelihood of the family, his father has been working outside for many years, and as soon as he earns money, he sends it back to support the rest of the family.

As for his mother, because there are still elderly and children at home, he can only stay in his hometown to guard, and when he is free, he will clean up the fields, and he has achieved self-sufficiency in life.

In this way, the cost of living has been saved a lot.

But since his father went out to work as a migrant worker, it means that there is not much time to go home.

Usually, in addition to phone calls and video communication, only around the New Year, father and son can meet and say a few words.

But this year, the blizzard came fast and fiercely, and the road was forcibly blocked, and people outside couldn't get in, and it was difficult for people inside to get out, so Sun Changliang and his father had to stay where they worked and couldn't come back for the New Year.

Now, if you want to get in touch, you have to rely on your mobile phone.

"If you miss your dad, go and wipe your grandma's hands and feet first, and then send a video to your dad, and the whole family will watch it together. ”

As she spoke, the grandmother put down the sweater in her hand, took out a large ball of yarn, and planned to knit new clothes—it was freezing so hard this winter that she had to work hard to make a few more, and in addition to the family's, she also had to send them to the men who were working hard outside.

"Okay. ”

Sun Changliang jumped off the kang and ran to the room where his grandmother lived.

In the dimly lit room, a thin old man was lying on the bed, covered with a freshly made quilt.

"Liangliang is here?" the old man struggled to get up and greet him when he saw his precious grandson coming.

"Grandma, you lie down well!"

Sun Changliang unhappily pushed the old man back to the bed and tucked the quilt for her, "You are not in good health, you can't move!"

Grandma Sun is old and frail, she suffered again when she was young, she was weak, she was uncomfortable in the first few years, and when the blizzard came this year, she fell immediately, and she also went to the hospital in the city for a while.

However, because he was distressed about the treatment costs, no matter how his son and daughter-in-law objected, the old man insisted on being discharged from the hospital, saying that he was so old that there was no need to spend a lot of money on her.

couldn't stop the stubborn old man, so the grandmother had to take the person back and put it at home to serve carefully.

"I'll boil water for you to wipe your hands. Sun Changliang poured hot boiling water out of the thermos pot, took a clean towel and dipped it, and was about to wipe it for Grandma Sun.

"Hey, my family is so filial!"

The heat was transferred from the towel to his hands, and then flowed into his heart, the old man touched Sun Changliang's arm, and said kindly, "Wear a little little, you can't just wear such a little ...... this kind of day."

"It's okay!" Sun Changliang helped the old man up, lifted the piece of clothing on his back, revealing the old man's skinny back, a spine protruding dazzlingly, and even the bone joints on it could be seen clearly.

It's like a skeleton covered with a layer of skin.

"I'm young, I'm angry, I'm not afraid of the cold!" Sun Changliang took a towel to wipe the old man's back and said.

"Is there enough food in the house?" After cleaning up, the old man lay on the bed and asked Sun Changliang.

No one thought that the blizzard would close the road, so the rice, noodles, vegetables and the like are just daily quantities, not much, and so they can't go out easily to buy food, and the rest of the family of three can eat for two weeks, but it can't last too long.

"It's enough, two days ago, the village chief organized people to clear the snow on the road, let people drive a tractor out to buy a lot of rice noodles back to the village, and then distributed some to everyone. ”

Although the cleared road was blocked by ice and snow again not long after.

"Don't worry, a lot of things are powerful now, no matter how much it snows, it won't starve us to death!"

Arrange for the old man to continue to rest, Sun Changliang ran to pour the waste water.

In the evening, the family gathered around and opened the tablet at home that I don't know what brand it was, and I didn't know how many hands it had passed.

The old tablet that doesn't look very easy to use is the most valuable electronic product in their family, and the only advantage is that the screen is big enough, and it can be used to watch TV on the Internet - this is also the reason why Sun Changliang and his father gritted their teeth and spent hundreds of dollars to buy it.

They click on the communication.

After the tablet shook a few times, Sun Changliang's father Sun Fu's face appeared on the screen.

"Dad!" Sun Changliang shouted first, then his grandmother and grandmother.

Sun Fu grinned in response, looking very happy.

"Dad, your hair is gray again!Are you okay outside?" Sun Changliang couldn't help but feel distressed when he looked at his father's yellow and thin face and black and white hair.

"It's okay, it's okay......" Sun Fu, who was not good at words, didn't know how to answer this question, just waved his hand to his family and kept saying that he was fine.

"Is our mom well?"

chatted hard for a while under the intermittent Internet, and after the old people and children fell asleep, Sun Fu asked his mother-in-law.

Grandmother sighed and shook her head silently.

Sun Fu became excited, "I will be able to get my salary again in a few days, and I will always be able to make some money if I go to the boss again...... You want to find a way to send your mother to the hospital......"

"It's snowing, it's hard for us to go out!" said my grandmother helplessly, "As soon as I told my mother to send her to the hospital, she scolded me for wasting money and asked us to keep the money for Liangliang's tuition." Recently, I can only ask Dr. Chen from the health center to come and hang some salt water for my mother......"

"What does the tuition make her worry about? It's not that I can't afford to provide for our son's education......" Sun Fu shook his head, his face showing bitterness.

Sun Fu's father went to the mountains to hunt that year, but he met a blind bear, was grabbed and lost an arm, and fled back desperately for a few days, but he still couldn't resist it, so Sun Fu was raised by his grandmother with hard work.

The illiterate rural woman, after the man suffered and died, was forced to become the pillar of the family, pulled up the child, and helped him marry a daughter-in-law.

Now no matter what, Sun Fu will not leave his old mother like this!

He took a bite of cake on the other side of the video, and said to his mother-in-law in a low tone: "Anyway, you don't need to think about anything at home." I will send it back if I have money, and Liangliang is also about to go to junior high school, so you work hard and let him improve his grades. ”

"And our mother, since the road is not easy to walk now, then wait for the beginning of spring, and send her to the provincial capital...... I've saved up money!"

"I know," the woman bowed her head, the dim light reflected on her face, her eyes half-drooping, "my son is sensible, I'm not in a hurry, it's just that it's getting colder and colder lately......"

"The men from the Jin family next door came back two days ago, when are you ......?"

"I can't come back this year, I'm busy. Sun Fu shook his head and sighed, "I only hope that my son can have a good life now, don't live for forty years, and go to the construction site to move ......bricks for people like me."

"Hey!"

The grandmother wanted to say something to her man, but her body trembled involuntarily.

The kang under her, as well as the whole room, made a rumbling sound!

The woman screamed in fright and ran down from the kang in a panic.

"What's wrong?What's going on?!"

In the tablet that was thrown down, Sun Fu shouted anxiously, but within a few clicks, the video went black.

The network, which was already stuck to death, was finally broken.

An hour later, the Heihe city government received urgent news that several villages near the Great Khing'an Mountains had been hit by a landslide, and the mountain that had slipped down was mixed with a large amount of snow, burying them all!
