My delicate husband

Chapter 126 Continuous Heavy Snow

When the group returned to the village, Aunt Li had already prepared the meal. Everyone put the things they bought from the market into the utility room. The house was warm because of the floor heating. Lan An felt that home was still the best.

After dinner, everyone cleaned up and Lan An took Zhang Xiaomo back to the room. It was still snowing heavily outside. Lan An nestled in Zhang Xiaomo's arms. He hadn't acted coquettishly and rubbed against Zhang Xiaomo for a long time.

"Brother Xiaomo, it's Chinese New Year again. Time flies so fast."

"An An, I can set off fireworks with you this year."

Lan An was still thankful for his decisiveness. In recent days, there have been continuous heavy snowfalls, and the road to the county town was completely blocked by snow. The snow on the village road had reached the thighs of adults, making it very difficult to go out.

The village chief has organized villagers to shovel snow every day recently, but the village roads were covered with thick snow again the next day. The villagers of Lianhua Village can be considered lucky. After all, the village has built roads. Although it is inconvenient to travel on snowy days, it is really much better than many villages.

The courtyard was also covered with thick snow. Early in the morning, Brother Xu took the men in the family to shovel the snow in the yard. Brother Xue accompanied Brother Guo to make a snowman. Although the weather was very cold, the Zhang family courtyard was still very lively.

Lan An woke up to Guo Ge'er's laughter and looked out the window. Lan An couldn't help but speak.

"Brother Xiaomo, does auspicious snow indicate a good harvest?"

"An An, it's okay, don't worry."

"But there was no snow at this time last year, and I don't know when it will stop this year."

"It's okay, An An, it will definitely stop before the New Year."

The villagers of Lianhua Village all had a good year this year, thanks to the blue eucalyptus. The bumper harvest of potatoes and peppers ensured that every household had enough to eat, and many children got their first new set of clothes in years.

The rabbit fur scarves and gloves that Aunt Li sewed for the family these days are all finished. Brother Guo likes them very much. They are really soft and warm. The blanket that I asked Brother Shui to make before is also finished. It is just right to cover yourself with when sitting on the sofa. Lan An likes it very much.

The Chinese New Year is in three days, but the village is very quiet. There is no one on the village roads and the children are all locked up at home. This year, every household has bought some snacks and the children are happy to warm themselves by the fire at home.

Guo Ge'er wanted to pull Xue Ge'er to play in the snow, but Zhang Xiaomo scolded him. In this kind of weather, it is really easy to catch a cold, and blue gum has a special physique, so he must be treated with care.

Under Zhang Xiaomo's cold face, Guo Ge'er and Xue Ge'er began to design jewelry. They didn't know how to do it, but they didn't dare to disturb Lan An. They thought about the embroidery styles and actually had some inspiration.

Brother Xu and Brother Kong were also thinking about their wedding after the New Year, so Brother Zhu and Brother Xie were all handed over to Brother Xu. The main reason was that the wolf, who had been hungry for ten years, had only been thinking about eating meat recently. Brother Zhu had such a good temper that no matter how excessive Brother Xie's request was, he couldn't bear to refuse.

Brother Man is all about the livestock at home, and Brother Han naturally accompanies him. The sheep at home are also well raised. Lan An plans to have a mutton hotpot during the New Year.

This year's holiday gift of blue gum was handed over to Aunt Li. She had experience in this area and after asking about the quantity, she had an idea of ​​it.

The newly built blue brick and tile house has floor heating and is very warm. Even when the wind is howling outside, the room is warm.

Lan An took a nap in Zhang Xiaomo's arms, enjoying himself very much. It was a pity that there were no sweet potatoes in this dynasty, otherwise Lan An could hardly imagine how happy he would be.

Guo Ge'er is still making his cotton coat. Judging from the progress, Xu Tingsong probably won't be able to wear it this year. I wonder if it will be too short next year. I hope he can wear it next year.

Lan Euan loves to eat fish, but now he will vomit and cry unconsciously when he sees fish.

Lan An was originally feeling lucky that the baby in her belly was very well behaved and didn't make any trouble. But today, Aunt Li specially cooked fish for Lan An. Lan An vomited and cried as soon as she saw it, which made everyone in the Zhang family very upset, especially Zhang Xiaomo. He also vomited, and after that he coaxed Lan An for a long time. In the end, he fed Lan An himself and then carried her into the inner room to coax her to sleep.

"Brother Guo, why do you like eating fish so much today?"

"Aunt Li, you guys should eat more too. We won't see any fish in the house for the next six months."

After hearing this, Brother Man thought it made sense and did not forget to pick up a few more pieces of fish for Brother Han. Sure enough, after Lan An fell asleep, Zhang Xiaomo told Aunt Li that there should be no fish on the table in the future, and gave all the fish bought by Lan An as a New Year gift.

Xiao Hui has grown up to be a big one. Because Lan Euan always secretly feeds him spiritual spring water, he has grown very tall and is more human-like. He is especially attached to Lan Euan. Except for him and Guo Ge'er, he is relatively indifferent to other people in the Zhang family.

The snow kept falling, and the sky and the earth were covered in white. The elders said that this winter would be colder, and the village chief also notified everyone to stock up more firewood. Therefore, the villagers of Lianhua Village currently have enough firewood at home, unlike last year when some people froze to death.

People in other villages froze to death. There are always some people who are particularly lazy and always want to rely on others for help. Brother Wu has made sufficient preparations, but the roads to all the villages are blocked by heavy snow. Even if there is coal and food, they cannot be delivered to the villagers. Lan An only sees that the random tasks in the space are still there, and the death toll in Yunling County is increasing. Nearly three hundred people have died.

The village chief, Uncle Zhang, is still very responsible. On a snowy day, he and Muramasa went door to door to interview the villagers and ask about their food and firewood situation. Although he knew that the villagers had made preparations in advance this year, he was still worried.

They originally planned to organize a few young people to go to the county town to purchase food in case the village was blocked by heavy snow and the villagers starved to death at home. But now that every household can spend the winter safely, they are not worried about these things.

The day before the Chinese New Year, supplies from the county government were delivered to the villagers. Each adult man received one pound of refined rice, ten pounds of brown rice, and ten pounds of brown flour. Each adult boy received ten pounds of brown rice and ten pounds of brown flour. The elderly and children received five pounds of brown rice and five pounds of brown flour. Each household was also given 20 pounds of coal. The villagers were very happy and grateful to County Magistrate Wu.

Lan'an gave all their family supplies to the resettlement house. After all, there was enough food and charcoal at home. These were a little token of their family's appreciation, and also a way to accumulate some blessings for the destiny in their belly.

Lan'an had previously bought ten kilograms of glutinous rice at the grocery store just to make glutinous rice cakes. Lan'an really liked eating brown sugar glutinous rice cakes. The key point was that it was a pity not to have sweet potatoes for roasting fire in winter, and it was also a pity not to have glutinous rice cakes.

Taking advantage of the last day before the New Year, Lan An arranged for his family to make glutinous rice cakes. Just then, Brother He came back and brought Lan An a large stack of account books. Only then did Lan An realize that he still had a lot of shops.

"Little Boss, look, do we need to be notified of the annual leave?"

"Brother He, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. Have the wages and year-end bonuses been paid out? And have you prepared the New Year gifts?"

"Not yet. I'll leave it to you."

Lan An took a quick look at the account book and thought it was pretty good, at least the losses were not that big. He estimated that if all went well, all the stores would start to make profits in half a year.

"Okay, let's pay the wages as we agreed before. The shopkeeper will get an extra five taels, and the others will get an extra two taels. The annual leave will start at noon tomorrow and will last until noon on the ninth day of the first lunar month.

The festival gift for everyone was a piece of cotton cloth, five pounds of meat, ten eggs, twenty pounds of brown rice, and two packages of cakes.

Brother Man and Brother Han, you will accompany Brother He to the county town tomorrow to take care of these matters."

After Lan An arranged everything, he returned to the inner room with the pile of account books. He couldn't finish reading them all by himself, so he could only act coquettishly and ask Zhang Xiaomo for help.

"Brother Xiaomo, please help me."

"An An, what's the reward?"

Lan An kissed Zhang Xiaomo and looked at him aggrievedly.

"Okay, help An An."

Lan An took a look and thought that this account book should be the simplest version. It was obviously sorted out by Bai Lu and Brother He. Lan An glanced at it casually and felt very sleepy. The room was too warm and perfect for taking a nap.

Zhang Xiaomo found that the person next to him was too quiet. He turned his head to look and found that the person had fallen asleep. His saliva almost remained on the account book. Zhang Xiaomo smiled dotingly, hugged the person in his arms, and continued to look at the account book.
