Two generations of military wives compete for time

"Madam has the final say. Let's go to Hong Kong to give birth to the children. Can we have six children like cousin Yizhen, three boys and three girls?" Li Baoguo agreed.

"I would like to have more children, but my belly may not be able to keep up. Don't forget, I'm an older pregnant woman." Han Shiyan said happily while touching her belly.

Li Baoguo put some coal into the iron stove for heating, filled a hot water bottle and put it in Han Shiyan's quilt. He helped Han Shiyan lie down, then got out of bed gently, washed, closed the door, and went to bed.

The fluttering snowflakes fell quietly all night long. In the morning, the red sunlight shone on the white earth.

The children happily had a snowball fight. This was the first heavy snow since the beginning of winter this year.

Junhua opened the curtains and saw a vast expanse of white outside. The roofs, walls, and tree branches were covered with thick snow. The sound of shoveling and sweeping snow could be heard from the yard.

The military flower excitedly put on her cotton jacket, cotton pants, cotton jacket, cotton shoes, scarf and cotton gloves, and excitedly ran to the door of the three-army bedroom, knocking on the door while saying, "Support the army, love the army, strengthen the army, get up quickly, it's snowing heavily, shovel snow, sweep snow, make snowmen, and have snowball fights."

When Sanjun heard his sister's cry, he immediately came to his senses, quickly put on his clothes and ran out.

"Wow, what a heavy snow!" The three soldiers shouted in unison. Yongjun took out a ruler to measure the thickness of the snow, which was 8 centimeters. It was already considered a heavy snow.

Qiangjun hurried to the bedroom and took out "100,000 Whys" to look up the definition of "heavy snow and blizzard".

Qiang Jun silently recited: "The thickness of heavy snow is defined according to meteorological standards. Specifically, 1 mm of snowfall is equivalent to 0.8 cm to 1 cm of snow depth.

Therefore, 10 mm of snowfall, calculated according to this ratio, has a snow depth of 8 cm. This data is based on China's meteorological standards, where 24-hour snowfall of 10 mm or more is defined as a heavy snowfall. "

Yongjun read softly: "The depth of snow accumulation refers to the vertical distance from the surface of the snow layer to the ground below the snow, while the amount of snowfall refers to the height of the water in the measuring cup after the snow melts. Although the two are related, they are not exactly the same. The unit of measurement of snowfall is usually millimeters, while the unit of measurement of snow depth is centimeters.

The heavy snow caused heavy snow on the roads, affecting the safety of vehicles and increasing the difficulty of pedestrians’ travel.”

Li Baoguo, Ming Yuanhui, and Qian Baogui got up early and cleared the snow from the roads leading to the entrances of the first and second courtyards of the Chen Mansion. The housekeeper Li Xiaoquan also cleared the snow outside the gate of the Chen Mansion and piled it into snow piles.

It was the first time that Han Shiyan saw such heavy snow. She danced with excitement. She put on the new cotton-padded jacket and new cotton-padded trousers sewed for her by her great-aunt, and the new cotton-padded shoes sewed for her by her sister-in-law Hao Xia, and walked out carefully, holding onto the door frame.

Qian Yizhen quickly ran over to support Han Shiyan and said, "You have to be careful. You are pregnant. If you slip and fall, it will be a matter of life and death. You can't be careless."

"Sister Yizhen, I want to watch the snow in the yard and watch the children play in the snow. This is the first time I have seen such heavy snow since I was born." Han Shiyan said happily.

"Junhua, come here and take out my camera. I want to take more pictures of the snow scene. When I return to Hong Kong, I will show them off to my friends who have grown up in the south." Han Shiyan continued.

After receiving the order, Junhua ran to Han Shiyan's bedroom, took out her camera, pointed it at Han Shiyan and Qian Yizhen, took two pictures, and quickly handed the camera to Han Shiyan.

"You kid, you are so clumsy. I haven't brushed my teeth, washed my face, or tidied my clothes yet, and you took a picture of me like this. Oh my, are you going to ruin your mother's glorious image?" Qian Yizheng scolded.

"Sister Yizhen, you are wrong. This is a candid shot of the military flower. It is a true portrayal. You don't understand." Han Shiyan said as she kept taking pictures.

Ding-ling-ling, Qian Yizhen's cell phone rang: "Boss Qian, this is Zhang Chuanren. Tonight, it snowed heavily in Gudaoguan Township, and some areas were hit by heavy snow. The textile factory's factory buildings were covered with thick snow. Deputy Director of Administration Zhang Zhixin, Deputy Director of Technology Zhang Jiyong, Deputy Director of Production Yue Huijin and other responsible persons are organizing the clearing of the snow.

It is said that the roads from the provincial capital to Pingzhou County have been blocked. You should not come in the next few days. Safety comes first. Those of us who stayed here have decided not to go home for the New Year. "

"Okay, I understand. You should also pay attention to safety, check for hidden dangers at any time, and ensure safe production. Tell the canteen to appropriately increase the food standards. Tell all employees who cannot go home during the Spring Festival that their overtime pay will be doubled." Qian Yizhen said.

After hanging up the phone, Qian Yizheng looked up at the sky and saw snowflakes falling again.

"Junhua, I have a task for you. Take good care of Aunt Shiyan and don't let her slip. There is a baby in her belly. Do you hear me?" Qian Yizheng instructed.

"Mom, I understand." Junhua responded.

Qian Yizheng returned to the bedroom and turned on the radio. According to the weather forecast for Northern Province, it is expected to be cloudy with moderate snow in the next two days, and heavy snow in some areas.

"Mom, what are you thinking about? Come and build a snowman with us. I'll find a hat for the snowman to wear." Qiangjun said.

"Children only know that snow is fun. If it keeps snowing like this, it will cause a snowstorm." Qian Yizheng said worriedly.

Qiangjun put down his hat and opened books such as "100,000 Whys" and geography textbooks:

According to the meteorological warning standards, if the snowfall exceeds 12 mm within 4 hours or reaches this standard and the snowfall continues, it may have an impact on transportation and agriculture and animal husbandry. If the snowfall exceeds 6 mm within 10 hours or reaches this standard and the snowfall continues, it may or has caused a greater impact.

For remote mountainous areas, the impact of heavy snow can be catastrophic. Heavy snow blocking the mountains can make rescue difficult and increase the risk of accidents and casualties.

"Mom, will a snowstorm really happen?" Qiangjun asked half-doubtfully.

"Yes, heavy snow will break the transmission lines, causing power outages. Heavy snow will break the communication lines, causing cell phones to be unreachable. Heavy snow will freeze the water pipes, causing water outages.

Heavy snow will cover the roads, making it impossible for vehicles to pass, and grain, oil, vegetables, and fruits cannot enter the city. Think carefully about what the result will be. Is this a disaster caused by heavy snow? "Qian Yizhen gave an example, and Qiangjun nodded continuously.

Qian Yizheng silently prayed: God bless, please don't let the textile factory lose power.
