Chapter 11 Contrasts and Differences
After a week or so, Fang Yuan would go to get some small fish and shrimp every day.
This day was just to heat up the leftover fish soup from yesterday, and when he was finished eating, he was ready to go out, but when he came out of the vegetable cellar and just opened the door of the hut, a cold wind blew in, and there was a white expanse in front of him.
I felt like it was going to change from a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, yes! It was snowing outside, and it was raining very much.
Although the hut built by Fang Yuan is not large, and the door is only about 80 centimeters high, more than half of it is now buried by snow.
In other words, the snow is at least 50 centimeters thick, and even if the place next to the house is a little thicker due to the wind, the snow is heavy enough.
Although it is no longer falling, it is getting colder, too, as the saying goes, the snow is warm and the snow is cold, and it is because it is no longer raining that the genius becomes cold.
And after the first snowfall, the weather will be even colder after that, and it will be cold until the end of the new year.
Fang Yuan hadn't worn cotton clothes before, but from now on, he had to wear cotton clothes.
Fang Yuan hurriedly closed the door and returned to the vegetable cellar again, there was no feeling in the vegetable cellar, not only did he not feel it, it was quite warm inside.
Let's put it this way! If he stayed in the vegetable cellar and didn't go out, Fang Yuan wouldn't be cold even if he only wore a coat, let alone a sweater.
Taking off his coat and sweater, Fang Yuan took out his cotton pants and jacket and put them on, and of course, his coat with fifty patches sewn.
After putting on the cotton clothes, Fang Yuan came out of the vegetable cellar again, this time he opened the door, it was not so cold, he hurriedly pushed the snow at the door outside, and then came out of the house.
Looking into the distance, there is a white expanse everywhere, as if the whole world has been covered with a layer of silver, and the reeds in the reeds are now invisible.
It's not that there are none, but these reeds have been crushed by the snow and poured on the water, and there is a thick layer of snow on them, and of course they are not visible.
Needless to say, the water has also frozen, otherwise there would be no snow on it, which still has a certain impact on Fang Yuan, because he needs to take water!
But for the time being, he didn't think about it, so he found a tile from nearby and cleared the snow at the door first, otherwise the snow would flow into the house and then into the vegetable cellar.
It was snowing, Fang Yuan wouldn't go to get small fish and shrimp, no way, the lake was already frozen, he didn't want to take that risk.
After all, he is still young now, the most important thing is how to survive, he originally wanted to come out and enter the vegetable cellar to see, but with such a good snow scene, Fang Yuan didn't want to surpass.
Because in his time, such a large snow was no longer visible, and now it just gave him this opportunity.
So he wanted to go out for a walk when the snow was closed and there were basically no people outside.
The current Qinghe Commune is different from later generations, it is now a long strip, and the reason why it is said so is because it is long from east to west and narrow from south.
It is almost four kilometers from the easternmost point to the family home to the west of the woolen mill, but there are not even five hundred meters from north to south.
The entire Qinghe Commune was built along the middle road, all the way to the east gate of the woolen mill, and on the west side of the woolen mill, next to the west gate of the woolen mill is the family courtyard.
Today, Fang Yuan did not go to the street, but went to the west gate of the woolen mill, where all the workers in the woolen mill lived.
Even if there are some that are not, they are also the families of employees, and you must know that employees are different from ordinary people.
Although they are also in the Qinghe commune, they do not farm, but eat commercial grain, which is the kind that is rationed every month, which is basically the same as in the city.
This is the first time Fang Yuan has come here, not to mention, this is really different from the commune, at least the children here are better dressed than there.
On the commune's side, you couldn't see anyone coming out at this time, let alone children, but here, Fang Yuan had just come over and saw a few children playing in the snow.
Running and having snowball fights, and children pulling shovels to build snowmen.
When Fang Yuan arrived, these children didn't react, maybe they were young and simple-minded.
Yes, these children who were playing outside were all younger than Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan didn't see anyone about his age, or older than him.
The family courtyard of the woolen mill is very large, almost 500 meters to the west from the west gate of the woolen mill, and the north and south are also about the same, and the family courtyard is not one, but there are many.
There is a sign at the gate of each family home, some of which say the first workshop of sand turning, the second workshop of sand turning, and some of which say that the first workshop of production, the second workshop and so on.
Needless to say, housing should be allocated according to each sector.
The houses here are all the same, all of them are brick houses, anyway, Fang Yuan didn't see a single two-story building.
Directly opposite the west gate of the woolen mill is a street, an east and west street, and these family homes are on both sides of this street.
None of this matters, the important thing is that this street is actually very lively, not at all like the lifeless on Qinghe Street.
As soon as he entered the street, Fang Yuan saw a breakfast shop, and this breakfast shop was actually open, and there were still people eating breakfast inside.
This surprised Fang Yuan, you must know that private business is forbidden in this era, and this early shop is not open by the public.
Although Fang Yuan had money and food stamps in his hand, he didn't go in, a person dressed like a flower child, went to the early shop to eat breakfast, wasn't that a joke!
Not to mention that he had already eaten, and even if he hadn't, he wouldn't go in.
Fang Yuan then walked inside, and found other shops, but they hadn't opened yet.
Walking all the way to the westernmost point, and then there was a wasteland, Fang Yuan walked back, along the way, Fang Yuan counted, there were more than a dozen shops on this street alone.
Among them, there are three that sell breakfast, and the rest are more miscellaneous, including grocery stores, grocery stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, vegetable stores, butcher shops, and so on.
Let Fang Yuan feel that this place is similar to the Imperial Capital City, too, don't forget that the people who live here are all woolen factory workers.
The people here are the same as the people in the city, they are all paid, and they have to pay for what they eat.
Of course, buying things is the same as in the city, you need a ticket, and you can't buy anything without a ticket.
Just as Fang Yuan was walking back from the west end of the street, he saw some children who were older than him, or about the same age as him, coming out of various compounds.
Each of these children carried a schoolbag cross-body, and the difference was that these schoolbags were varied, including military satchels, cloth bags, and some schoolbags made of materials that could not be said.
But they all forgot to go in one direction, Fang Yuan knew that that direction was the school, and he had already passed by there just now.
