Eating melons

Xiao Xuemu came out of the space at dawn, opened the door, and saw nothing. There was only a wall of snow outside.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuemu sighed. Today was another big project. He didn't know when he would be able to finish clearing the snow.

I can only say that the roof is quite strong and it didn’t collapse even under such thick snow.

But it is also possible that a lot of snow slid down, so the roof was not that thick.

Fortunately, Wei Wei was accompanied by Li Hong, otherwise if Wei Wei woke up in the morning and saw this alone at home, she would definitely be scared.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuemu found a shovel and poked outside with difficulty, hoping to poke a way out, or rather, to poke a hole so that he could crawl out.

Xiao Xuemu poked for a long time, and finally managed to poke a hole in the doorway covered with snow so that he could crawl out.

Xiao Xuemu stuck his head out and looked outside. The wind and snow still hadn't stopped, just a little better than last night. It looked like it had snowed all night.

Although it was just dawn outside, someone was already sweeping the snow.

Moreover, the snow in front of other people's doors was not as thick as that in front of their doors. Judging from the situation, they must have gotten up and swept it last night.

It was the first time for both him and Wei Wei to face such a situation. They had no experience and did not get up to sweep.

Of course, he lived in the space last night and didn't know the situation outside, so the snow blocked the door.

Xiao Xuemu looked at the vast expanse of white outside and suddenly understood what Wei Wei meant by "the living are almost dead".

Asking him to sweep such a wide and thick snow was really hopeless and seemed like he was going to die.

He now really wants to use the machine in the space. Something that can be done in ten minutes or even a dozen seconds on average will take a whole day to do by hand.

This was probably how Wei Wei felt when she first went to the countryside to farm. It could easily be done with a machine, but she insisted on doing it manually, which was really life-threatening.

It is really technology and machines that are changing the times. After being used to using machines, it is really hopeless to ask him to work so hard with his hands.

But he had to do it even if his life was at stake. He had no choice but to do it. If he didn't sweep the snow, especially the snow on the roof, he would have no place to live.

You have to know that the snow is already piled up so high under the eaves, and there is no place for the snow on the front part of the roof to slide down. If you don’t sweep it, the roof may collapse.

Looking at the heavy and thick snow, and then looking at the large yard, Xiao Xuemu retreated back into the hole, cleared the snow at the door, closed the door, and went straight into the space.

There was no meat left in his house except for the meat he froze for the other five people.

As for the meat from yesterday, he sent it to the cowshed last night.

Xiao Xuemu went straight into the space and came to the production line and killed a wild boar.

The machine is very fast. Once the pigs are driven into the machine, they will be cleaned in just half an hour.

During the half hour of waiting, Xiao Xuemu was not idle either. He used a dough kneading machine to knead a large ball of three-ingredient dough.

Why not knead it by hand? Because there was so much dough to knead that I had to use a machine four times to make it.

These flours were received when they distributed food. During this period, they had been eating rice, and they ate it in the space. They had not eaten the food they received yet.

After kneading the dough, Xiao Xuemu took a piece of meat out of the space.

He didn't cook the meat directly. As soon as he came out, he threw the meat on the snow, wrapped it in a circle, let it freeze slowly, and then took it back to thaw it.

He will have to ask a few people to help him clear the snow later. If he does it alone, at the rate the snow is falling, he will be exhausted and still not be able to finish clearing the snow today.

As for why it takes so much trouble to freeze and then thaw fresh meat.

That is, people at that time were not fools, they could still tell the difference between the taste of fresh meat and the taste of thawed meat.

Not to mention, they may also see directly that the color of the fresh meat and the frozen meat is obviously different. The color of the frozen meat is whiter, so they still need to pay a little attention to these details.

While waiting for the meat jelly to be prepared, Xiao Xuemu was not idle. He did not heat the kang when he came back last night, so the room was cold and the water in the bucket was a little frozen.

There was a thin layer of ice in the water in the pot that he had scooped out last night, so Xiao Xuemu quickly lit the fire in the house.

Xiao Xuemu worked hard for more than half an hour before he managed to open a path to the well. As for the rest, nothing moved at all.

It can't be said that it was motionless, because the snow was still falling and the snow was getting thicker.

This is too difficult to do, mainly because the snow is almost as tall as a person, especially under the eaves, where it is even taller than a person. There are really not many places to start, and it is really difficult to do.

Xiao Xuemu was working here alone, and Wei Wei and Li Hong also woke up slowly.

When the two woke up, it was already past seven o'clock and it was almost dawn.

Surprisingly, Wei Wei woke up earlier than Li Hong this morning.

The main reason was that the temperature of the kang was getting lower and lower, and the temperature of the room was getting lower and lower. Wei Wei felt a little cold and didn't sleep so soundly. In addition, there was a person she was not familiar with next to her, so Wei Wei woke up quickly.

As for Li Hong, she was still sleeping soundly. She hadn't slept so well in a long time.

Since the beginning of winter, I have never slept so comfortably, and I have never slept until I woke up naturally.

At the educated youth center, she was woken up by the cold before dawn every morning.

She was relatively lucky. Living next to the kang, she might have been woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.

It wasn't as warm at the Youth League Institute at night as it was at Wei Wei's house. It was not like now, I was still warm in bed.

Yes, Wei Wei felt it was very cold, but for Li Hong it was still very warm, not only warm but also very comfortable.

You have to know that when I was in the Youth League Institute, it was warmer when I just went to bed than it is now. Before twelve o'clock, the temperature was not as high as it is now.

And it had never been so comfortable even before winter because there were no such comfortable beds and quilts.

In fact, Li Hong felt a little hot when she just went to bed last night, because the pajamas she wore were thicker than Wei Wei's.

So Wei Wei woke up, and Li Hong was still sleeping soundly. Seeing Li Hong still sleeping soundly, Wei Wei secretly looked at the time on the system mall.

It was already half past seven, almost eight o'clock, and the sky was already bright, so I got up quietly and secretly prepared to get on the kang.

Even though Wei Wei was tiptoeing and handling the fire carefully, the sound of the fire still made it's way around, and Li Hong woke up immediately.

Because she was still a little groggy after waking up, and Wei Wei's curtains were drawn tightly, the only light in the room was the flashlight Wei Wei had turned on, so Li Hong couldn't see clearly that Wei Wei was making a fire.

Looking at Wei Wei busy at the door with a flashlight, Li Hong was still a little confused.

"What's going on? Do you need to go to the bathroom? I'll get up and go with you."

Li Hong thought it was the middle of the night and Wei Wei got up to go to the bathroom, so she prepared to get up in a daze.

Seeing Li Hong like this, Wei Wei quickly stopped her, "It's okay, it's okay, just continue sleeping. I don't need to go to the bathroom, it's just that the kang is cold, so I just lit a fire. You can continue sleeping!"

Hearing this, Li Hong was a little confused. "Is the kang cold? No, it's not cold! It's very warm!"

After hearing this, Wei Wei didn't say anything, because it seemed that no matter what she said, it would be wrong.

She didn't feel warm. She didn't wear thick clothes when she got up to heat the kang. She just sat there making a fire. Even though there was a fire burning in front of her, she still felt a little cold.

Now she just wanted to light the fire quickly and get on the kang, so she lit the fire quickly.

Wei Wei was lucky this time and she managed to light a fire right away. After the fire was lit, she immediately curled up in the quilt to warm herself up.

When Li Hong saw Wei Wei getting on the bed again, she didn't think much about it and fell asleep again in a daze.

In Li Hong's mind, it was still dark outside, because not a single light came in from the window above her head, and no light came in from the door either, so it should not be dawn yet. It was still early, and she could continue sleeping.
