Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!
Chapter 48: The Year of the Great Snowstorm
When I returned to the yard, I saw Rongrong working in new clothes.
"Whose girl is this? She's so pretty." Xu Wenyan walked into the yard with a smile.
Rongrong blushed with praise: "Brother Wenyan." Rongrong brought the medicine to Xu Wenyan, which she and Xiaohua had decocted together.
Xu Wenyan pinched the little girl's face and said, "So good."
After taking the medicine for a month, Xu Wenyan is now completely immune to it. He can drink it in one gulp without even frowning.
"How is my second uncle?" Chen Sanlin came over with an axe. He would chop wood when he had nothing to do at home.
"I'm not sure yet. The wound has been treated, but I'm just worried it might get infected." After saying that, Xu Wenyan picked up the bowl and walked towards the kitchen. It was already the whole morning and he hadn't eaten yet.
Chen Sanlin squeezed into the kitchen with a basket of rabbit meat in his right hand and eight processed rabbit skins in his left hand.
"I have processed the rabbit meat and the rabbit skin."
"Put it here." Xu Wenyan was still thinking about what to eat, so he didn't pay much attention to Chen Sanlin's expression.
Chen Sanlin was a little disappointed: "I said I had processed the rabbit meat and scraped the rabbit skin clean."
Looking back at Chen Sanlin who had a serious look on his face, Xu Wenyan raised the corner of his mouth, thinking how could a grown-up like him begging for praise like a child?
Xu Wenyan stood on tiptoe and touched Chen Sanlin's head: "Okay, okay, my Sanlin is great too."
Chen Sanlin widened his eyes and looked at Xu Wenyan in slight shock. In rural areas, a man's head is a symbol of dignity and cannot be touched easily. But Chen Sanlin was not angry. If it was Xu Wenyan, he would be willing to be touched.
"I only let you touch it." Chen Sanlin held Xu Wenyan's thumb and squeezed it.
Xu Wenyan nodded and pushed the big guy out: "Okay, okay, little friend Chen Sanlin, I have to cook now, go out and play first."
Hearing this name, Chen Sanlin just smiled and continued chopping wood.
After sending Chen Sanlin away, Xu Wenyan stewed a pot of radish and deer antler soup. In the winter, you have to drink hot soup.
There are really too few ingredients at home. When spring comes, Xu Wenyan must make a fortune.
We were having a nice meal when the snow started falling again.
At first, there were only a few snow grains floating, and then they slowly turned from snow grains into snowflakes, and then from snowflakes into heavy snow.
The sky was dark.
The snow lasted for three days.
......
"Brother Chen, please get the snow off the roof first, and be careful!" Xu Wenyan was holding a wooden board and working with a few other kids to push the snow towards the yard. Even the little guy Chen Dong came to help.
It snowed heavily for three days, and the thickness of the snow in the yard reached more than 40 centimeters. This was truly a rare heavy snowfall in Lin Country in a century.
Not only Jixiang Village, but also the county, city, and most areas of Lin State were severely affected. The current emperor is also worried about the snow disaster.
Disaster relief documents were submitted from every place, memorials were read overnight, and civil servants quarreled every day, as everyone hoped that the area under their jurisdiction would receive help first.
Not to mention the big places, in Jixiang Village, more than a dozen houses were collapsed by the heavy snow, and even the Chen family's stove collapsed.
So as soon as the snow stopped this morning, Xu Wenyan got everyone together to clear the snow. If they were left alone, the house would collapse sooner or later. If he hadn't reinforced the house in advance, the whole family might be freezing in the snow now.
"You little guys, don't grab them with your hands. Go slowly so you don't catch a cold and get sick." Xu Wenyan taught them. If they caught a cold or had a fever at this time, they could only rely on their righteous energy.
After working for a whole morning, Chen Sanlin finally shoveled all the snow off the roof. He was very strong, so he just threw the shoveled snow outside the yard to save trouble.
Cut a few slices of ginger, add a little autumn pear paste and hot water, and each person drinks a sip as a precaution.
The road outside was too impassable to walk on. Xu Wenyan looked down and had no idea what was happening at his second uncle's house. It was snowing so heavily and his second uncle was injured.
After lunch, Xu Wenyan took a short break and planned to go and see with Chen Sanlin.
"Xiaoliu, take your brothers and sisters to clear the snow in the yard. Your brother Sanlin and I will be back soon." After giving the instructions, he picked up the tools and walked downstairs.
Chen Sanlin walked in front, and Xu Wenyan walked on the same ground he had walked on, so walking was not difficult at all.
You can see the tragic situation of Jixiang Village when you are on the road. The familiar thatched houses have collapsed from a distance. Since yesterday, you can hear faint crying sounds outside.
There will definitely be refugees in this scenario, and we don’t know what the disaster situation is like and how the village chief will resettle them.
After finally walking down, Xu Wenyan saw Xiaohu who was cleaning the yard: "Huzi, how are you?"
"Brother Xu! Our house is fine." Xiaohu's house was built relatively small and was not easy to collapse. In addition, after Xu Wenyan reinforced the house, Xiaohu felt that the roof of his house was unsafe, so he repaired it again. Only then did he survive.
I didn't expect it would come in handy just in time.
"to make!"
When we arrived at Zhou's house, they were still cleaning the yard. The four members of the family were shoveling snow in the yard, except Zhou Dabao.
Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin shoveled the snow at the gate of the courtyard to the side from outside. It took them more than an hour to dig through to the door of Zhou Jianye's house.
The couple were dressed warmly, and Zhou Jianye had a hard time working with his limping leg.
Fortunately, the wound did not become inflamed. The medicinal effect of the scutellaria baicalensis was taking effect and the wound is slowly healing. Fortunately, it is not summer.
"Sanlin, Wen Yan, why are you here?" Zhou Jianye put down the wooden shovel and prepared to pull them into the house to sit down.
"Okay, uncle, clean up the yard quickly."
Xu Wenyan arranged for Chen Sanlin to shovel snow on the roof. Part of the Zhou family's old house had already been cleared when the family was built last week.
The old lady felt relieved to see that her second son was being taken care of by someone. After all, he was her own son, so how could she not care about him at all?
Zhou Jianye and Wang Cuijuan saw it all and felt grateful in their hearts.
I am really lucky to have such a nephew, and my sister in the underworld can also rest assured. Although Xu Wenyan is a male wife, he is good in all aspects.
The people of Jixiang Village spent the entire day dealing with the snow.
In the evening, Xu Wenyan also heard that more than a dozen families whose houses collapsed in the village were relocated to the Chen Family Ancestral Hall. This Jixiang Village was originally managed by the Chen family, and Chen is a big surname in Jixiang Village.
Today they went back to get bedding and food, and saved other things that could be saved, but there was nothing they could do about those that could not be saved.
If God lets something happen to you, you have to bear the consequences no matter how great you are.
In the evening, the six people in the family gathered around the fireplace, warming themselves by the fire and hanging clothes to dry. Xu Wenyan also had a lot of feelings.
In modern society, such heavy snowfall is far from being such a disaster. Basically, whenever it snows heavily, there will be snow trucks clearing the snow non-stop throughout the city that night, so that the snow will not have the chance to pile up too deep and block traffic.
But in ancient times when technology was not well developed, such a natural disaster could take away countless lives. Several elderly people from the dozen or so households in Jixiang Village did not survive the cold night of the first day.
The others also had their own thoughts. Rong Xiaoliu had completely regarded himself as Xu Wenyan's loyal younger brother, and he would do whatever Brother Xu asked him to do from now on.
If he and his sister hadn't stayed at Brother Xu's house, they probably wouldn't have survived the winter.
Chen Xiaohua held Chen Dong's hand. Chen Dong looked at his sister who was resting her head on Chen Xiaohua's legs, touched his brother's cheek and then looked at Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin.
I thought the situation for my brother and I would get worse after coming to the house of this uncle whom I had rarely seen, but I didn't expect that my uncle would marry my younger uncle, who was very kind to them.
She could eat porridge without being sent away, and could eat buns before the Chinese New Year. Her uncle would also give her and her brother meat, and he was also very easy to talk to.
And she rarely hears people say that she and her brother are unlucky and money-losing, and she is really happy in her heart.
Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan, who seemed to be thinking about something, and held his hand.
I couldn't help but thank myself in my heart.
Fortunately, I found him under the pine tree that day.
Lucky.
