A strong farm girl is busy getting rich
Chapter 88 Snow Disaster
Liu Shuyao asked: "Brother Qingfeng, did you go out to buy snacks just now?"
Shen Qingfeng said: "Well, I was planning to buy it and send it to you tomorrow. You happened to be here today, so I hurried to buy it."
Liu Shuyao felt sweet in her heart, but Liu Yuyao felt more and more upset!
It started snowing outside again, and the snowflakes were large flakes.
By the time Liu Yuyao and Liu Shuyao finished eating hot pot, the snow on the road was already very thick.
Although there was a coachman, Shen Qingfeng was still worried and personally went to send the two girls back.
It was also snowing heavily on Black Stone Mountain. By the time Shen Qingqian and the others had finished their lunch, the Black Stone Mountain was already covered in white!
Moreover, the heavy snow continued to fall and showed no signs of stopping.
In such weather, Shen Qingqian and her companions are destined not to be able to go down the mountain!
Several girls wanted to live here, and it was not convenient for Niu Er and his friends to stay any longer, so they said goodbye and left.
Wang Liu talked to Wang Ke'er for a few words and then followed Niu Er back to Heifeng Village.
Yingzi looked at the snow falling all over the sky outside and felt a little uneasy.
Shen Qingqian was also anxious, and wished he could buy the mountain immediately so he could become a coal boss!
But she still comforted Yingzi, "Yingzi, relax first. In this kind of weather, the gravel quarry should not be able to work. Your grandfather will be fine.
Tomorrow morning, we will go to Tai'an Town and rescue your grandfather!"
Yingzi said gratefully: "Girl, you are so nice!"
However, God was destined to disappoint them, because the snow did not stop all night and was still falling the next day!
When people walked outside, the snow was knee-deep! If this continues, we won’t be able to go to Tai’an Town in two days, let alone today!
Yingzi took out a black bundle, which was exactly what her grandfather asked Shunzi to bring her. When she opened it, she found a wolf skin, a bow and arrow, and five taels of silver.
When Yingzi saw what was inside, she was instantly overwhelmed. The usually heartless girl burst into tears at this moment.
Shen Qingqian and Wang Ke'er didn't know how to comfort her. Things didn't go as planned and there was nothing anyone could do!
The heavy snow fell for another whole day and night before it stopped. However, the accumulated snow had already covered an adult's thighs, so they still couldn't go out!
Fortunately, Yingzi and her grandfather had prepared enough food, so they had something to eat.
What Shen Qingqian didn't know was that Ping'an Town and Tai'an Town both suffered disasters because of the heavy snow.
In every village, almost half of the houses were collapsed by the heavy snow.
The people affected by the disaster were all relatively poor people, and their houses were collapsed by the snow because they lived in thatched houses.
The same is true for Shenjia Village and Yangshu Village.
The houses of some villagers collapsed, and the village chief could only arrange for them to stay temporarily in the homes of people living in brick and tile houses. He couldn't let them freeze to death!
However, despite the village chief's careful arrangements, some people still froze to death.
Old Mrs. Zhou lived at the west end of the village. She was the only one living in her house. When the village chief found her, she had frozen to death the night before. Her body was already stiff!
The problem is not just that, those families with brick houses can take in those whose houses collapsed in the first one or two days out of friendship. But after a long time, they can no longer keep them!
It’s not that they have no sympathy, but no one in the village is rich, and the houses are just big enough for their own families to live in. There is no extra room, and there is simply not enough space!
Shen Fukui's family was one of the families affected by the disaster. Half of the house collapsed and it was no longer habitable.
Shen Fukui was a cowardly person in his daily life. He was unwilling and did not know how to ask for help from others. He simply moved all the things that could be moved into Shen Qingqian's greenhouse.
Shen Qingqian’s greenhouse is divided into two locations, one covering seven acres and the other covering three acres, not far from each other.
When the greenhouse was first built, Shen Qingqian built night watch houses in two locations.
When you grow vegetables, someone has to watch over them, right?
On weekdays, Wu Gang lived in one of them and Shen Tiezhu lived in the other.
Shen Fukui and his family moved in, and Wu Gang lived with Shen Tiezhu.
In fact, the house of Wu Gang and his mother in Yangshu Village also collapsed. However, they had not returned home for a long time. He lived in the greenhouse, while his mother lived in Wu Cuiyun's house, helping to cook for the people hired by Shen Qingqian.
The village chief has become so worried that his hair has turned gray. He is so busy every day, but he still can't solve many problems!
County Magistrate Yao was even more worried. There were a total of ten villages under the jurisdiction of Ping'an Town, all of which were hit by the disaster. No one was spared, and people were freezing to death every day!
The situation in the town was not much better! Most of the shops on the street were closed, and the price of charcoal had risen to a sky-high level. Some families had no food left, and even eating became a problem!
On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the wind was particularly strong. The northwest wind blew the snow on the ground wildly.
When it was evening and the wind stopped, the snow on the ground was in waves. It was much thinner in some places, and I didn’t know where that part had been blown away.
On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Qingqian and his companions finally decided to go down the mountain. Although there was still thick snow on the road, they could finally walk.
The three girls, wearing thick cloaks, walked hand in hand towards Tai'an Town, one step deep and one step shallow.
Black Stone Mountain was nearly twenty miles away from Tai'an Town, and the road was difficult to travel on, so the three of them did not arrive until noon.
Tai'an Town looks much larger than Ping'an Town, but after being washed by the heavy snow, it feels very desolate.
There were almost no pedestrians on the street, and some shops had their doors and windows closed.
The three girls finally found an inn that was open and went in.
When the waiter saw a customer coming, he hurried forward to greet him.
"Dear guests, would you like to stay in the hotel or have a meal?"
Shen Qingqian said, "We need three guest rooms and food. We'll settle down and come down to eat in a while."
The waiter said, "Well, sir, please order your food first, and I will take you to the guest room."
Shen Qingqian ordered a few dishes at random and asked the waiter to take them to the guest room.
"Waiter, please bring us some hot water first!"
Shen Qingqian gave instructions as the three of them entered their rooms.
The waiter agreed and went downstairs.
The three girls washed up, changed their clothes and shoes, then came out of the room and went downstairs to eat.
After traveling for a whole morning, the three of them were already hungry, and the food on the table was quickly eaten up by them.
Shen Qingqian wiped her mouth and asked, "Yingzi, do you still know the way to the county government office?"
Yingzi was quite familiar with Tai'an Town. When she lived in Heishi Mountain, she would come down with her grandfather every two or three months to buy some food and daily necessities.
However, this time, the situation is different from before!
Yingzi nodded and said, "Yes, shall we go now?"
"Yes! However, when we get to the gate of the county government office, you guys find a place to wait for me. I will go in alone." Shen Qingqian said.
