    ?

    The skis were ready, and the children were brought back. Although the person who went to pick them up fell down in two steps, they were covered in snow. Fortunately, everyone was prepared and knew that they would not be able to control the skis as soon as they came up.  A layer of raincoat plastic sheeting, so that the wet cotton coat will not freeze to death.

    "Fortunately, we went early. The school has not run out of food, but it's cold." Xiao Sishui and his wife stumbled to pick up their children and sighed in the village: "You didn't see that the children in a dormitory were all crowded together.  On several beds, all the quilts were covered together, and they hugged each other to keep warm, and tears fell from my eyes when I saw it."

    When it was said that they came to pick up the children, the school was really eager. After confirming the identity of the parents, they immediately let the children go. If there is one less person, the school will have less burden. As for when the class will start again, there is no one on the school side.  In conclusion, I'm afraid we have to wait for the severe cold to pass.

    Xiaojiazhai¡¯s practice spread quickly, and people began to follow suit. In the past few days, I often saw people with skis tied to their feet stumbling outside to practice skiing.  up.

    With the means of transportation, the parents quickly picked up the children, and the school began to officially close for the holiday, and we have to wait for the notice when teaching will resume.

    Because it is too cold, people in the village are reluctant to go out unless they have some important business. The neighbors who are familiar with each other start to get together to play cards to pass the time. They have made an appointment at your house today and tomorrow at my house, which can save money.  Some coal for heating.

    Qin Sheng sat cross-legged on the hot kang, with a quilt covering his waist and abdomen, holding warm brown sugar ginger soup in his hand, watching Xiao Wu and the others fight landlords around the stove, Zhang Caiyun also took off his shoes and sat on the kang,  Organize a ball of yarn.

    "It's such a cold day, and I don't know what's going on at my natal home." Zhang Caiyun said suddenly while she was arranging her wool.

    Her natal family is in the frontier, winter is already cold, and this year's temperature is like this, I'm afraid this winter will be difficult.  She couldn't sleep well the whole night these days, and when she closed her eyes, she saw her parents starving and freezing. After the mobile phone signal failed, the phone line was also damaged due to the snowstorm and cold wave, and even a phone call was lost.  Can't get through.

    "We can all think of everyone getting together to save coal for heating, but others can't think of it?" Qin Sheng felt that Zhang Caiyun's concern would cause confusion. This is the first year of the end of the world, and it is far from the time of despair: "Didn't you say  Have you called home and asked to prepare more coal and food?"

    "I said it." Zhang Caiyun sighed: "But then I thought about it, the old couple guarding so much coal and food, can they keep it? If this person is cornered, what will happen?  It can all be done!"

    Qin Sheng also understood Zhang Caiyun's worry, but they had nothing else to do except worry about this kind of thing.

    Xiao Wu pulled out a few roasted sweet potatoes from the cinder soil under the stove, and delivered them to them on a paper pad: "Peel the skin and eat, be careful of burning!"

    "The conditions of our village are really useless." Xiao Zhijun's luck was not very good, and he lost several rounds in a row.  I heard that life in many places is not easy. The corn was destroyed by the hailstorm and the drought. The potatoes and sweet potatoes that were replanted grew well, but they were buried under the heavy snow before they were harvested. Let's find them in the snow.  , the soil is as frozen as a stone!"

    Mr. Zhang even wore reading glasses specially for playing cards. Regardless of his age, he is very good at robbing landlords. In these few rounds, he has won a net. The winning bets are piled up in front of him with a lot of fried peanuts.  Slowly peeling them one by one, I heard Xiao Zhijun's words: "The things are just buried in the snow, no matter the cold or tiredness, they can still harvest some back. What's more difficult is those people who live in high-rise buildings in the city."

    The heating system in the city has not been officially started yet. In the current situation, it may be a bit difficult to start it. In the countryside, they can still burn their own stoves and kangs. What should the residents upstairs do?  If the heating cannot be provided in time, probably we can only get a basin, get some firewood and coal to make a brazier and surround the family.

    "City heating will definitely be activated, and the country will not watch everyone freeze to death." Xiao Wu pulled out a few roasted and delicious sweet potatoes to share with everyone: "It's just that it's unusually cold this year, and the heating company doesn't care.  Burning day and night will probably also ensure that no one will freeze to death."

    It is impossible to keep the room temperature at more than 20 degrees like in previous years!  If you can resist wearing cotton-padded clothes, just have fun!

    "Let's eat here at noon!" The old lady is already busy cooking. There are so many people, it is impossible to cook too carefully. Boil a cabbage, add some soaked mushrooms and pork belly in it, and heat it up.  Don't mention how comfortable it is to eat it vigorously!  Big steamed buns with Lianghe noodles, cornmeal porridge, and homemade pickles make a simple and affordable meal.

    "No, no, no, we'd better go home and eat!" Aunt Zhou quickly refused, she was already very embarrassed to rub the fire and temperature in other people's homes, how could she even come to eat together?  Whose food is not expensive these days?

    "Why don't you be polite to us, and there is nothing delicious, just boiled cabbage!" The old lady refused to let go: "You have to light the stove when you go back, and it will take a while to wait for the house to warm up.  Just eat here, stay here in the afternoon, and go back to the fire to cook and heat up the kang head at night, and then you can go to sleep directly."

    Relatives came to Qin Sheng in the past few days, and he was lazy and unwilling to move, so he followed suit at the moment: "My mother is right! Just eat here, if you are sorry, eat it another day when it is someone else's turn."  Come back! Go back to cook now, it's cold and troublesome."

    Having talked about this point, Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Zhou stopped insisting. As for the aunt's family, they are all real relatives, and they don't care about this matter.

    "When did your family store the Chinese cabbage?" My aunt helped cook, cutting the juicy Chinese cabbage with a look of envy: "The cabbage seedlings in the field are only palm-height, and it's snowing, I still think about it."  This year I won¡¯t be able to eat cabbage.¡±

    "I planted it at home!" The old lady said cheerfully, "Don't we have a greenhouse? Not only Chinese cabbage, but also spinach, rapeseed and radish, which grow quite well. By the way, when you go back in the afternoon, you will bring  Click back, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not easy to buy green leafy vegetables this winter.¡±

    Mr. Zhang was very curious: "Your greenhouse is already able to produce vegetables? The last time I saw it, it was just built, right? The vegetables grow very fast!"

    However, Qin Sheng was a little guilty. It was originally a half-sized vegetable seedling that was moved out of the space, and the previous juvenile period was directly omitted. Can it grow fast?

    Xiao Wu was vague: "We haven't planted it before, and we don't know what's going on. If Mr. Zhang is interested, let's go to the greenhouse to have a look before we eat?"

    Mr. Zhang waved his hand with great interest: "Let's go! Take a look! Maybe it has mutated and shortened the growth cycle. This is good news!"

    Xiao Zhijun was also very interested in the greenhouse, so the three men, young and old, got dressed and went to the greenhouse in the yard.

    As soon as you enter the greenhouse, you will be greeted with a smell of earth, mixed with the smell of various vegetables. Looking around, the small greenhouse is divided into several neat grids, where different types of vegetables are grown.

    "I remember it was very warm inside the greenhouse, and I couldn't even wear a cotton coat." Xiao Zhijun felt the temperature in the greenhouse, and it didn't exceed ten degrees at most: "The temperature here is not good!"

    "Didn't you see that the crops planted here are all cold-resistant crops?" Xiao Wu squatted down and pulled out a radish, washed it with the faucet in the greenhouse, and divided it between the two: "The sun doesn't come out very much, the sun shines.  It is not enough, and it is not easy to maintain the temperature required for crop growth. I still burn the stove day and night to maintain the temperature, and I can only grow some cold-resistant crops.¡±

    Xiao Zhijun took a bite of the radish, which was slightly sweet and slightly spicy, and the taste was very good: "The temperature required for such a greenhouse alone consumes a lot of coal! Few families can afford it." He said  Originally, I thought about building a greenhouse too, but seeing this, I simply gave up the idea.

    "Building a greenhouse is very necessary." Mr. Zhang said at this time: "If we can't take in enough vegetables, our bodies will easily go wrong, such as scurvy caused by lack of vitamins. One family supports this  A greenhouse is a bit difficult, but how about several households working together to supply one? Just like cooperative heating, a family saves a little coal and can always support a greenhouse? At that time, the vegetables produced can be shared by several households.¡±

    "Mr. Zhang's proposal is very good!" Xiao Wu agreed and said, "Cousin, you might as well discuss it with your neighbors. It will be no problem for a few families to build a small greenhouse."

    As for him here, it was originally intended to cover Qin Sheng's space, and it was really inconvenient for others to join in, so he pulled Lu Lenian out as a shield: "You are like my greenhouse, which is actually a joint venture between me and my friend.  The coal he has stored is at my disposal right now!"

    "I just said, why are you so generous in burning charcoal? It turns out that you have a partner!" Xiao Zhijun suddenly realized, but he was really interested in this proposal: "When I go back to discuss with them, I think there should be a door to this matter."  Son!"

    When they came back from the greenhouse, lunch was ready. A large bowl of hot boiled cabbage was placed in the center of the table, and a small plate of crispy pickled cucumbers and pickled mustards with sesame oil and vinegar.  Silky, yellow cornmeal porridge is steaming.

    "Are you back? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat!" The old lady greeted them cheerfully, holding a pair of chopsticks and dividing them: "There is nothing good, so don't be too polite!"

    Several people washed their hands and sat down to eat, when the big white goose raised by Qin Sheng suddenly called out "quack", followed by other geese stretching their necks to join in.

    "Ouch!" Someone outside exclaimed: "Don't come here, don't come here! Help! The big goose is going to warn someone!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com)??
