How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 335: Heavy Snow, Snowy Years
"Brother, when do you think the snow will stop?" Li Daila asked, looking through the window at the heavy snow falling outside.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Li Le rolled his eyes at Li Daila.

He is not a god, so how can he know when the snow will stop?

Besides, it’s raining so heavily that there’s no way to get out even if it stops.

The snow outside is at least twenty centimeters thick now. If it doesn't stop falling by dinner time, it will definitely be over forty centimeters.

This is not the future, the weather is not that warm, and even if the snow stops, it is unlikely to melt without human intervention.

After this snowfall, I guess all the rivers and streams will freeze over.

In fact, it had already frozen before, but it was not that solid. It showed signs of melting when the sun came out.

But this won’t happen after the snow falls this time. I guess there will be people skating in Beihai Park tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

This ice will last throughout the winter and will not melt until the beginning of next spring.

It's freezing cold outside, but it's warm as spring inside.

In fact, Li Le could know it. For example, before he traveled through time, he could check online to see if there were any major events happening this month, or whether there would be rain or snow.

However, he did not check. It seems that he should check before traveling through time in the future to avoid being in a passive position like now.

At six o'clock in the evening, the family sat at the table to eat. There were three enamel basins on the table.

One bowl contained stewed chicken, one bowl contained stewed pork ribs, and the other bowl contained seaweed egg drop soup.

In fact, Li Le had a lot of tomatoes in his space, but it suddenly snowed and he couldn't take them out.

But it will be fine tomorrow. Find some time to go out tomorrow and bring it back when you come back.

Anyway, neither the Zhao Yanran sister nor Ma Feng would ask.

This is because they know that Li Le is very powerful, so it is normal for him to bring back some tomatoes or vegetables!

Li Le scooped a bowl of stewed chicken from the basin, picked up a white flour bun and started eating.

Seeing Li Le start eating, everyone started to serve themselves.

"Brother, if this snow continues for a few days, we won't be able to go out to collect waste." Ma Feng asked with a frown.

"If there's no way to collect it, then don't collect it! We won't starve even if we don't go out for a year." Li Le said indifferently.

"Uh!"

Ma Feng didn’t know what to say because what Li Le said was right.

The food in the cellar alone would take two years, let alone a year, to finish.

"Not only food, but also the winter vegetables in the vegetable cellar are enough for our family to eat for the whole winter." Zhao Yanran said with a smile.

Speaking of winter storage vegetables, Li Le was speechless because his family had too much.

When the winter storage of vegetables began, Li Le thought about taking some back, at least to make it look like he had harvested some.

So I just bought a whole tricycle and prepared to store them in the vegetable cellar.

Who would have thought that when Li Le returned home pulling a large tricycle of cabbage, he would find another four large tricycles of cabbage in the yard.

It turned out that Li Le was not the only one who bought a tricycle. Ma Feng and the other three also bought a tricycle each.

You have to know that this tricycle weighs over a thousand kilograms! Five carts of cabbage weigh five thousand kilograms.

The entire winter is four months, or 120 days, which means that on average you have to eat 40 kilograms of cabbage every day to finish it.

Who eats 40 kilograms of cabbage a day? Is this a joke?
Li Le finished the stewed chicken in his bowl, and then filled half a bowl with spareribs. He said, "Starting tomorrow, our family will not eat meat. We will eat Chinese cabbage every day. We must finish eating all the cabbage in the winter."

Li Le was of course joking. If he only ate cabbage every day, others might be able to bear it, but he himself couldn't!

"Ah! Brother, no way!"

"Yeah, big brother. If I eat cabbage for a whole winter, I'll probably become a cabbage."

"Yes, brother, we can also try some other dishes!"

"You know this! If you knew, why didn't you tell me when you bought the cabbage?"

"Uh! This..." Ma Feng scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

In fact, he was wronged! When the vegetables were being stored for the winter, everyone was rushing to buy them. Seeing this situation, how could he remain indifferent?

What if someone else had snatched all the tricycles away? I would have nothing to eat for the winter, so without thinking, I went up and robbed a tricycle.

Niu Shuanzhu and three others had the same idea as him, which led to the current result.

In fact, Li Le is almost the same, otherwise why would he have bought a whole car!

But he was thinking that there were many people in his family, and a thousand kilograms of cabbage would be enough for the winter.

Because of this, he didn't even buy many radishes.

Li Le turned his head and looked at Zhao Yanran and said, "Starting tomorrow, every meal will have to include a plate of cold-mixed cabbage hearts."

"Okay Brother Le."

In fact, the cold-boiled cabbage hearts taste very good, and Li Le especially likes it.

But no matter how much you like something, you can’t eat it every day!
It's no wonder that this little brat ate me to death. Two large enamel pots of stewed chicken and pork ribs, plus an enamel pot of seaweed and egg drop soup, were all eaten up cleanly.

Don't forget, this doesn't include steamed buns.

With so much food, an ordinary family of seven probably couldn't finish it in a day.

Of course, ordinary people don’t have such luxury. If they had these things, who would be willing to eat them all in one day!
But no matter what, Li Le and his family really love to eat.

After dinner, Zhao Yanran went to make a pot of jasmine tea.

Li Le's family has no shortage of tea, not to mention jasmine tea, they also have Longjing tea, Maojian tea, etc.

And there is a lot of good tea in Li Le’s space.

However, he will not take out these teas for the time being. Tea is still relatively easy to buy now, but in a few years, it will not be easy to buy these teas.

Not only do you need tickets, but there is nowhere to buy them.

At this time, you can still do business and the circulation of materials is relatively easy, so there is no shortage of anything in the imperial capital.

Because merchants can transport goods from all over the country to the imperial capital for sale.

In a few years, after the planned economy is implemented, there will be no businessmen anymore, and by then, there will be no such thing as material circulation.

The circulation of supplies is not going on, and each place is selling its own products. Even if one wants to transport the products to the imperial capital, there is a plan for that.

In this case, what can you buy? Nothing.

To give a very simple example, for example, if one thousand kilograms of Longjing tea are transported from the West Lake, then after it is transported, a ticket for this thousand kilograms of Longjing tea will be printed.

You can only buy it if you have a ticket. If you don’t have a ticket, I won’t sell it to you no matter how much money you offer.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for ordinary people to buy these things.

The family drank tea for a while and then went to rest. That was how it was in that era, there were not many entertainment activities.

Back in the bedroom, Li Le opened the curtains and looked out through the window. The heavy snow showed no sign of stopping.

"Alas! It seems that the snow will not stop for a while." Li Le sighed. Zhao Yanhan came over and hugged Li Le's arm and said, "Brother Le, it doesn't matter if it doesn't stop. We have enough food and drink at home."

Li Le scratched Zhao Yanhan's nose and said, "What do you know, girl! If the snow doesn't stop, there's no way to go out. If you don't go out, where will you get meat and vegetables to eat? You can't just eat white rice and steamed buns, right?"

"Uh! That's right!" Zhao Yanhan scratched her head stupidly.

"Okay, let's go to bed first! There's no point thinking too much now." Zhao Yanran said after making the bed.

"That's right, it's useless to think about these things now. Let's think about how to exercise in the evening!" Li Le said mischievously.

Yes, the evening entertainment in this era is in bed, of course, this is for those who have wives.

The three of them tossed and turned for half the night and finally fell asleep.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, as soon as Li Le woke up, he heard loud shouting outside.

Without even listening, Li Le knew it was Ma Feng and the others.

Li Le sat up from the bed, went over to open the curtains, and sure enough, it was Ma Feng and his friends shoveling snow in the yard.

Li Le frowned because the snow had not stopped. What was the point of shoveling the snow at this time?

But seeing that the guys were working so hard, Li Le didn't say anything.

Zhao Yanran and her sister are already up and are probably cooking at this moment.

Li Le had no plan to go out, so he wore a set of long-sleeved shirt and long pants, and also put on a coat.

After thinking about it, he put on his cotton jacket outside, came to the main room, lifted the curtain and went outside.

"What's wrong with you guys? The snow is still falling. What's the point of shoveling snow now? There will be more snow later."

"Brother, there is too much snow and it is too thick. If we don't shovel it, it will be even harder to deal with it when the snow stops!"

After hearing what Ma Feng said, Li Le thought about it and nodded, saying, "Okay, then you guys shovel! By the way, clear the snow off the roof."

Li Le looked up at the roof. The snow on the roof was a foot thick. Li Le was really worried that the roof would collapse.

"Brother, don't worry! I was planning to clean the roof anyway."

"Yeah!" Li Le nodded and said, "Be careful when cleaning the roof, don't fall."

"Okay big brother."

Then Li Le went back into the house and took off his cotton jacket. The temperature in the house was at least over 16 degrees. Wearing a cotton jacket in the house, isn't this a joke?

After breakfast, Li Le put on his cotton coat and went out to work with everyone.

The roof and the yard were all cleaned, and even the snow was transported to the street outside on a tricycle.

Li Le wanted to transport it to a distant place, but the snow on the street was very thick and the tricycle could not pass through at all.

So Li Le could only take a few brothers with him to clean up the area outside the gate.

Clear a path and pile the snow against the walls on both sides of the street.

Of course, Li Le only cleaned the area in front of his house. He didn't care about other places and had no control over them.

Everyone should take care of their own business, this is probably what it means!
Sometimes being kind is not necessarily a good thing, so as long as no one asks him for help, he will never try to be a good person.

Fortunately, the snow finally stopped around nine o'clock in the morning, but at this time, the snow on the streets outside was already above the knees.

You can imagine how heavy the rain was. In this situation, there was no way to go out, let alone collect waste.

In fact, it’s not bad to take a few days off.

Li Le took a few brothers to clean the roof and the yard.

The entire courtyard looked as if there had never been any snow.

After cleaning up, Li Le said to Zhao Yanran, "I'm going to go out for a while, you guys stay at home and don't go out. Also, I may not be back for lunch."

"Okay! Got it, go ahead!"

Li Le came out of his house and quickly arrived at the door of the store, where he went in and bought a few bottles of wine.

Even with such heavy snow, shops are still open.

After coming out of the store, Li Le went straight to Uncle Guan's house.

It suddenly snowed so heavily, and he didn't know if Uncle Guan was prepared, so Li Le planned to go over and take a look.

When he was almost at Uncle Guan's house, Li Le went into an alley. When he came out, he was holding a large piece of pork and half a bag of rice, which weighed about twenty pounds.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Li Le arrived at Uncle Guan's house and knocked on the door.

Soon the door opened, and Uncle Guan was seen wrapped up tightly.

Seeing that it was Li Le, Uncle Guan asked, "Why is it you, kid?"

"I'm just afraid it might snow suddenly. Don't you have anything prepared? I'll just send you something."

Li Le lifted up the rice and meat in his hand and let Uncle Guan take a look.

"You are thoughtful, come in quickly."

The two men came into the house, and Li Le felt that there seemed to be no difference between the room and the outside. No wonder Uncle Guan wrapped himself so tightly.

"Uncle Guan, don't you have a fire in your house?"

"This snow came too suddenly, and we were not prepared."

"Okay, I understand. Leave it to me. You don't have to worry about it."

Uncle Guan still had some firewood at home, but he was afraid that he would have nowhere to put it after it ran out, so he didn't use it to heat the kang.

Li Le went out and brought in some firewood to help Uncle Guan light the kang.

"You little brat, you burned all my firewood. I can't even cook."

"Uncle Guan, didn't I tell you? Leave these to me, don't worry about them. I may not be able to deliver them to you today. I will send you some firewood after the snow on the street is cleared every day."

Li Le's family has no shortage of this stuff, but coal briquettes are a bit troublesome because Li Le's family doesn't burn coal briquettes, so they don't have any.

If you want to get coal briquettes for Uncle Guan, you can only buy them at the coal yard.

After the kang was heated, the temperature in the room rose a little, but only a little, so Li Le asked Uncle Guan to sit on the kang.

This way you will be much warmer and you don’t have to wrap yourself so tightly.

Li Le wanted Uncle Guan to live in his house, at least for one winter.

But since Uncle Guan refused to go, Li Le had no choice.

Yes, it’s more comfortable to live in your own home.

At noon, Li Le cooked a meal for Uncle Guan, and the two of them drank some wine.

After dinner, the two chatted for a while and then Li Le went back. Of course, before leaving, Li Le brought in some firewood.

On the way back, Li Le saw many people clearing snow on the streets. These people included people from various households and the Military Control Commission.
