Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Mu Xi did as he was told. Most of the chive flowers had just bloomed recently. They were fresh and slightly spicy, so they were perfect for making sauce.

It’s not that there isn’t a blender at home. The two of them found a lot of small appliances at that time, but they just didn’t work to save energy.

Now Zhao Yeqing couldn't bear to use it. If the polar night hadn't suddenly appeared, she would have definitely used it, but now she had to save it. If it didn't light up again, the effect of electricity would be too great.

Anyway, the two of them have nothing to do now. They have nothing to do at home, so any movement of their hands is regarded as exercise.

Zhao Yeqing was afraid that Mu Xi would be bored, so he picked up the ancient novel and started reading it, mentally torturing him.

The book is only as thick as a thumb. By the time Zhao Yeqing finished reading it, Mu Xi had also finished hammering out the leek flowers.

He breathed a sigh of relief, "What's next?"

Zhao Yeqing didn't just sit and read just now, he also prepared and sterilized the glass jar that would hold the chive sauce.

"Just add some salt and oil, and put the chive sauce in a glass jar...Hey! Don't fill it so full, it will explode by the time."

This leek flower paste will ferment in the bottle, so you need to leave some space.

Make the leek flower sauce and wait until it ferments for a few days before you can eat it.

Zhao Yeqing has been craving for the meat in his belly for a long time. Every time he opens the freezer to get the meat, he can see it. Now he is finally able to eat it.

It was pitch dark outside during this time, and the two of them were always worried that some animal would climb over the wall and steal the freezer in the yard.

The two of them kept watch for several days but found no trace of animals. Mu Xi also took a flashlight out of the yard and used a flashlight to observe nearby, but found no trace of animals approaching. In addition, no animals were heard in the meadow. The voice was reassuring.

It was dark outside, and it was always difficult to tell what time it was. After checking the time several times, when it was finally time to go to bed, Mu Xi asked Zhao Yeqing to wash up first, and then he went to the breeding basement.

The cow was already pregnant. Based on last year's experience, the two deduced that another calf would be born in a little more than a month.

From now on, you have to prepare more feed for the cows to ensure smooth production.

Zhao Yeqing fetched water to wash up first, then said to Mu Xi who was about to go out: "You can add some refined grains to make it eat better."

It makes me happy to think that I can drink milk again in a while.

In fact, according to the normal operation of the farm, there will be no shortage of milk. After the birth of the previous litter, milking can be continued until the first two months of the birth of this litter.

It's just that the two are reluctant to let the cow work so hard and take all the nutrients, so as soon as the cow is ready to become pregnant, the two will stop milking and let it recover.

After Zhao Yeqing washed up, she waited for Mu Xi to come back and wash up before going to bed. Although it was quite warm at home, the bed was still cold. Every day, Mu Xi went to bed and covered her up to keep her warm before she went up.

The two of them now pray every day before going to bed for dawn when they wake up.

But every morning I wake up disappointed.

Not only is there no daylight now, but the temperature is gradually dropping.

When the temperature dropped to minus 20 degrees, it suddenly started to rain.

Generally speaking, at this temperature, rainfall is really weird. Although water needs to be saturated with water vapor and needs condensation nuclei to turn into snow, it is generally rare for it to rain but not snow at this temperature.

The raindrops that fall on the ground turn into ice visibly to the naked eye.

Before the rain stopped, the two of them wouldn't have even left the house if it wasn't to feed the livestock and meet their physiological needs.

It was too cold.

Minus 20 degrees on a rainy day and minus 20 degrees on a snowy day are simply not the same concept.

In addition, the rain turned to ice when it fell on the ground, making every step very difficult.

Fortunately, the two of them had put a lot of reserve feed in the breeding basement before. They could go down to the basement for feeding directly through the back door. The total distance was only a few steps.

Zhao Yeqing felt extremely regretful when he went out to use the toilet. If he had known better, he should have opened a door to connect the brick house in the bedroom to the newly built brick wall, so that he did not have to go out to use the toilet.

How can I doubt my life even if I have to be blown away by the cold wind when I go to the toilet like now?

There is also the ice layer on the ground. When walking up, it will test the core strength of the waist and abdomen. If you are not careful, you will fall.

The light switch of the yard is on the wall of the tool room. When I go to the toilet, I can only use a flashlight to illuminate the road ahead. I want to use the flashlight to see the situation in the yard, but the light is blocked by the rain curtain, so I can't see anything clearly.

The most troublesome thing was the freezer outside. Fortunately, they were rescued in time. They quickly covered it with bark when it started to rain. Otherwise, the entire freezer would have been stuck together.

Even if they were rescued in time, the lid of the freezer was still partially covered with rainwater. The two of them used knives to cut through the thin ice layer along the gaps, then opened the lid and took out all the meat they wanted to eat recently. Put it in a basket, cover it with a lid and place it at the door of the house.

The situation these days is that the three leopards at home cannot go out to look for food and have to rely on supplies from home.

There is not much fresh meat left at home, only a small amount of mutton and pork.

The pig that was just killed only had thirty or forty kilograms of meat left. Apart from what the two of them ate, most of it was made into bacon. In addition, a few leopards and dogs were fed two meals. That's all that's left.

It was probably enough to feed the leopard three or four times.

However, there are still five pigs in the pig pen. I previously said that they would wait until they weigh 150 pounds before slaughtering them. Now it seems that we can start early.

More than a month has passed since the Chinese New Year, and the pig has grown thirty to forty pounds. Now it is not a loss if it is slaughtered, and it can save some feed.

The two of them discussed that if the rain didn't stop for another three days, they would go to the basement to drag the pig out and kill it.

The rain seemed to know what the two of them were thinking, and it lasted for three days.

I can't say how heavy the rain was, but it was raining so hard that the temperature in the entire meadow plummeted, dropping by five degrees in just three days.

When the temperature stopped at minus 25 degrees, the rain finally stopped.

The two put on their thickest coats and walked out, turning on the lights in the yard to clear the ice on the ground.

Mu Xi slowly moved to the side of the tool room and turned on the switch.

The dark courtyard was lit up by lights, and the two of them were stunned and speechless when they saw the scene in front of them.

What words should be used to describe the scene in front of me?

For the first time, Zhao Yeqing felt the lack of his vocabulary.
