Ye Jingmo opened the door to the small house, and a blast of warm air rushed out.

Jiang Li quickly went inside and closed the door.

The charcoal in the brazier inside the house had not completely burned out, and there were still faint embers.

Jiang Li poured out the burnt charcoal and added new wood.

Ye Jingmo cleaned the chicken coop and checked on the chickens' condition inside.

The chickens huddled listlessly in their coop, showing no signs of life.

After lighting the charcoal, Jiang Li stuffed it back into its original corner, walked over to the chicken coop, and took a special look at the henhouse where she had stuffed the duck eggs.

The hen dutifully remained on the eggs, without moving an inch.

Jiang Li added dried locusts and some rice to the feeding trough. The chickens quickly swarmed over, scrambling to eat the dried locusts, ignoring the rice next to them.

Only the hen that was incubating the eggs remained motionless when it saw the food. Jiang Li took a small cup, filled it with dried locusts and rice, and placed it next to the hen.

The hen moved its head and made a "clucking" sound before slowly starting to eat the dried locusts in the cup.

The wood in the cabin can burn for about eight hours, and Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo come over three times a day to replace the wood.

After finishing their tasks in the hut, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo went outside, took out a ladder, and leaned it against the wall.

Jiang Li held the ladder steady with her hands from below, while Ye Jingmo used a shovel to sweep the snow off the roof.

The snow was like neatly cut squares, pushed onto the ground piece by piece.

There was no scene of snowflakes fluttering and creating a mist, as Jiang Li had imagined.

But then I thought, if we had been shoveling snow last night, this might have been the scene.

This morning the snow was compacted, and it could only be shoveled off the roof piece by piece, like tofu.

The roof of the small house was not large, and Ye Jingmo quickly cleaned it up.

Next, it's time to clear the snow off the villa's roof. However, there isn't a ladder tall enough in Jiangli Space to clear it from the outside.

Fortunately, during the renovation, Jiang Li specially built a ladder from the third floor of the villa to the roof, so that people could climb up to the roof from there.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo walked towards the villa along the path they had cleared on their way there.

Light snowflakes began to fall again, and a thin layer of frost formed on the once-clean ground.

Jiang Li held Ye Jingmo's hand tightly, afraid that she might slip and fly away.

The two supported each other and struggled back into the house.

Pudding and Jelly were playing when they saw Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo and ran over excitedly.

Pudding's tail kept wagging as it pounced on Jiang Li.

Jelly rubbed against Ye Jingmo's calf, making sweet, coquettish noises.

Both children wanted Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo to play with them.

Thinking that she had left early in the morning and hadn't played with them, Jiang Li took Pudding's little ball and threw it out.

Pudding happily retrieved the ball and brought it to Jiang Li.

Ye Jingmo held a cat toy, teasing Jelly until it meowed anxiously.

Jiang Li, who was standing nearby, thought the insults were very vulgar.

After playing with the two little ones for half an hour, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo slowly walked up to the third floor.

Ye Jingmo climbed the stairs and pushed hard several times before he could finally push open the cover that was covered by snow.

A gust of cold wind blew in from above, making Jiang Li, who had just come up from the warm first floor, feel a little uncomfortable.

Outrageous!

Jiang Li endured the coldness of the ladder and slowly climbed to the roof.

The scene before my eyes was a vast expanse of white, with the distant mountains and forests draped in thick snowflakes, creating a sense of desolation between heaven and earth.

"I'll clean it up. The snow on top is thick and slippery. What if you accidentally slip and fall?"

Ye Jingmo said with concern, wanting Jiang Li to wait for him downstairs.

“Since we’re already up here, working together as a couple will make things faster.”

Otherwise, how long would you be standing here in the cold wind? Once we're done, we can go downstairs to warm up.

Jiang Li was unwilling.

Ye Jingmo had no choice but to have Jiang Li take out a rope from his spatial storage, tie one end to his and Jiang Li's waists, and the other end to the iron ladder below.

The rope has a certain degree of elasticity, which can prevent accidental falls from the roof.

In areas with a relatively wide roof, it's not easy to clean small sections with a shovel, so Jiang Li took out a large trowel from the space.

Ye Jingmo and I each pushed the snow off the roof down to the ground.

The snow blocks fell off the roof like a giant blanket.

Snowflakes danced in the sky, landing on A-Li's eyelashes, making her look like a winter fairy.

Jiang Li, oblivious to the romantic atmosphere, felt a cool sensation in her eyes and reached out to brush the snowflakes off her eyelashes.

As Ye Jingmo pushed through the snow, he spotted soldiers walking on the road, knocking on doors of every household.

Noticing that Ye Jingmo's hand movements had paused, Jiang Li looked in the direction he was looking.

The military green uniforms stood out particularly well against the snow.

"Is something wrong with those soldiers?"

"Shall we go down and take a look first?"

With such heavy snowfall and roads piled high with snow, these soldiers must have some special reason for traveling in such weather.

Jiang Li approached Ye Jingmo and asked for his opinion.

"Let's speed things up, clear this bit of snow, and then we'll go down."

Ye Jingmo replied.

The two of them had almost finished clearing the snow off the roof; only a small corner remained.

Jiang Li nodded, her hands moving even faster.

Just as Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo came down to the first floor, the knocking sounded at the door.

Ye Jingmo opened the door.

"Hello, we are soldiers from the military."

This is my identification document; you can take a look.

First of all, we are very sorry to disturb your rest. We came here mainly to remind you to be careful when traveling in such heavy snow.

The authorities have also released some precautions regarding snowfall; you can take a look.

Secondly, there's the snow on the roads. To ensure normal traffic flow and safety, each household needs to send one person to assist our troops in clearing it.

Snow that remains untreated for too long can easily damage roads and houses.

The leading soldier recounted the events in detail.

"Does every household have to contribute? Is there any alternative?"

Jiang Li asked.

She frowned slightly; sweeping the snow off the road was no easy task.

The weather is cold these days, and she doesn't really want to go out.

"Those who come out to clean will receive three points every day."

As for the alternative method you mentioned of not participating in snow shoveling, there is currently no such method.

And if you refuse, the base will blacklist you, and the functions on your watch will be disabled.

The soldier spoke in a measured tone, as if he had been questioned many times before.
