Eating melons

Hearing the sound, Wei Wei quickly rolled off Jiang Qi's body.

At this time, Xiao Xuemu, Li Zhibin, Yu Xi, Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei had all arrived and hurriedly helped the two up. Wu Mei also found Wei Wei's shoes that had flown away.

Seeing these shoes, Wei Wei really wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in. It was so embarrassing and too socially awkward, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and put on the shoes.

Wei Wei didn't dare to raise her head until she took the shoes and put them on, and kept her head down.

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin didn't know what to say when they saw Wei Wei and Jiang Qi like this. Every time Wei Wei and Jiang Qi made a fool of themselves, it was unexpected.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi always slept until after midnight, and they really didn't expect that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi would get up so early today.

They must have been woken up by the sound of shoveling ice, but I never saw them get up when shoveling snow!

I originally thought that I would go to shovel their side after finishing shoveling this side, after all, they got up late, but I didn’t expect that before I could shovel that side, I had already fallen.

He was the one who fell the hardest among the group, especially Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi was stunned when she saw the ice and snow outside. Was she in a world of ice and snow?

"Did it rain last night? Why is there so much ice?"

Jiang Qi asked while rubbing his sore butt.

At this time, Wei Wei was still immersed in her social death and couldn't get over it. It was so embarrassing that her shoes flew so far.

Wu Mei nodded. "Yes, it rained heavily last night, and it was sleeting, which is rare here."

Hearing this drew Wei Wei's attention. "Is it rare? Isn't it normal to rain in winter? It's also normal to snow in winter!"

In later generations, most of the snow in their Hunan Province was sleet, and when it rained, it brought sand and snow.

Wu Mei shook her head. "No, it rarely rains here in winter. We're just lucky. It's really rare to see sleet after a heavy snow like this."

Hearing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi nodded as if they understood, and even Liu Jiaojiao and Yu Xi felt that they had learned something new.

After all, it is quite normal for it to rain in winter where they are. It happens every year. It is just a very normal and common natural phenomenon.

Wei Wei stamped her feet. "Is it colder today than yesterday? It feels so cold!"

Wu Mei brushed the snow off Wei Wei's arms and replied, "It's quite cold today, a little lower than yesterday. This is normal. Gradually, the temperature will get lower and lower, and it will get colder and colder."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were dumbfounded. "Will it get even colder?"

Even Yu Xi and Liu Jiaojiao were a little bit unbelievable. The snow in those places that had not been swept was almost up to their waists. How cold could it be?

Wu Mei smiled and said, "The snowstorm hasn't come yet. It will be even colder then."

Wei Wei didn’t understand. Isn’t this a snowstorm now?

"It's snowing so heavily, isn't this a blizzard?"

Wu Mei shook her head. "I heard from the old people that when there's a severe snowstorm here, the snow that fell these past few days can accumulate overnight."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were stunned, as were Liu Jiaojiao and Yu Xi.

If it snowed so heavily overnight, I wouldn’t be able to even open the door when I woke up.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qi also asked, "It's snowing so heavily, so I can't even get out of the house the next morning, and I can't even open the door.

Wu Mei nodded and said, "This is normal. It happens every year."

Hearing that this was a normal phenomenon, the four southerners present who had never seen such a scene were stunned.

Before, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi thought that those people were hoarding so much food. Was it necessary to be so exaggerated?

I feel that although the snow is heavy, I can still go out to buy things.

But now, well, they are short-sighted and ignorant.

If you really encounter that kind of situation, let alone going out to buy things, it would be difficult to even go out.

Seeing this situation, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't stay any longer. They went back to wash up and have breakfast.

After eating, they came to shovel the ice. The ice was so difficult to shovel. It would not be good if the two of them did nothing themselves and asked others to help them.

After all, it is a favor for others to help them, and it is their duty not to help them. They cannot take other people's kindness for granted.

After breakfast, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi also joined the team to shovel ice.

After doing it for a while, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi felt that they were still too naive and could not do it at all. Soon they were both out of breath.

After finally shoveling away most of the ice and snow, I thought I could take a break, but then the old educated youth came over.

The person who came was Shenyang. Shenyang looked at the seven people and said, "It's fine as long as you are all here. The hunting team of the brigade has returned. This year's harvest is good. They hunted more than ten wild boars. Let's go to the brigade to eat the pig-killing meal later.

Those wild boars will be sold. If you want to buy them, you can bring money."

Shen Yang did not hide any of this because he knew that this group of new educated youth were not short of money and would definitely buy meat if they could.

Of course, the more they buy, the happier the people in the team will be. After all, who doesn’t like money?

For example, the money the brigade earns from selling meat is not distributed to the village, but is used for the brigade's daily living expenses.

Only the money from selling the pigs, chickens, ducks and geese raised on the farm to the purchasing station will be shared among the people in the team.

If the brigade's income is not enough to buy chickens, ducks, geese and piglets next year, then part of the money sold to the purchasing station will be retained.

If the brigade's revenue is enough to cover next year's expenses, the money earned from sales will be used to increase the price of work points.

The value of work points depends on how much money the brigade earns that year.

Therefore, the people in the Red Star Brigade were very welcoming to the educated youth who went to the brigade to buy things.

Because they rarely bought those things themselves, because they already had them at home, most of their hopes lay with this group of educated youth.

Not only would the educated youth from the Red Star Brigade buy it, but even the educated youth from other brigades would come to the Red Star Brigade to buy it if those brigades didn't have it.

Upon hearing this, several people immediately expressed their gratitude and said they would go there right away.

They are not very interested in the pig-killing dishes, but they are quite interested in buying meat.

Especially after knowing that there would be snowstorms every year and the snow was so heavy that they couldn't go out, Wei Wei, Jiang Qi, Liu Jiaojiao, and Yu Xi, four southerners who were not short of money, became more eager to stock up on goods, always feeling that they had not stocked up enough.

That’s right, the same goes for Wei Wei and Jiang Qi. They originally thought that the meat given by Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu was enough, but now they feel it is still not enough.

But it doesn’t matter if you buy more. Whether it is wild boar meat or domestic pork raised by the brigade, the recycling price of the system is quite high. You can sell the leftovers to the system when the time comes.

Although the two of them already had enough money, several million, Xiao Xuemu still had a lot of money that he had not given to Wei Wei.

But even so, it's okay to continue earning money. After all, there's no such thing as too much money. Although I won't go out of my way to earn money, if the opportunity comes to you, it doesn't matter if I earn a little.

A few of them packed up, took their money, tickets, and lunch boxes and headed towards the threshing ground.

Coming here again, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were both speechless, and so was Liu Jiaojiao, but Liu Jiaojiao was extremely disgusted.

But even so, as long as they don’t eat the pig-killing dish here but take it home to eat, they can still eat it. After all, this pig is different from the last time.

When they arrived, most of the villagers in the brigade were there, and everyone's face was filled with happy and satisfied smiles.

After all, this time it can really be said to be a big harvest. There are more than ten wild boars alone, and there are also many other things.

There is strength in numbers. Before long, more than ten wild boars, stupid spores, deer and other creatures were taken care of.

As for small prey like pheasants and hares, they were all divided up by the hunters.

Except for those members of the hunting and guarding team who each got a large piece, the rest were sold to the team.

Anyone can buy it, no tickets are needed, and it’s even cheaper than pork.

So even though it costs money, there are still many people in the Red Star Brigade who buy it.

After all, there is not much time to eat meat each year, so people will take this opportunity to stock up more and make it into jerky, which they can eat for the whole next year.

Although everyone bought some, it wasn't a lot. After all, almost every household had a pig, and almost everyone had at least one.

Because the rule of the Red Star Brigade is that no matter how many pigs you raise, you have to hand over half of them as task pigs, and you can keep the rest for yourself. Therefore, some families that have not divided the family and have a lot of people raise four or five pigs.

Anyway, no one will say anything. If someone investigates, they will say that they have separated and are just living together. As for the pigs, they are raised by three or four families together.

Not only that, the Red Star Brigade will also kill a few pigs to distribute the meat that year, and they can distribute the meat again at that time.

Therefore, even though meat is cheaper than usual, I won’t buy it as if it’s free, I will just buy an appropriate amount.

But the educated youth did not have so many concerns. Of course, those who had support from their families, especially the new educated youth, bought without hesitation. Even Wu Mei bought more than 30 kilograms.

Although we still have to slaughter pigs tomorrow, the price of farmed pork is more expensive than wild boar meat because the meat of wild boar meat is tougher than that of farmed pork.

Wu Mei doesn't care much about the quality of the meat, as long as it is meat, so Wu Mei lets go.

Yu Xi and Liu Jiaojiao even asked for a fan each, and so did Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, who also bought a lot of pig stomachs and pig trotters.

Even Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu each took a fan. Li Zhibin was not short of money, he simply wanted to buy more meat, while Xiao Xuemu was mainly covering up his meat.

Although Xiao Xuemu had fed a lot of pigs in his space, he couldn't just take them out whenever he wanted to eat them like before.

Because before he could say that he hunted it in the mountains, but after a while the mountains were blocked by heavy snow and he could not enter the mountains, so he had no excuse.
