Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

It snowed all night long, and when Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo woke up, it was still snowing lightly outside.

Jiang Li drew back the curtains and looked outside. The road that had been cleared yesterday was gone, and the original snow had piled up to almost a meter high.

Icicles hung from the corners of the windows, and snowflakes clung to the windows like New Year's paper-cut window decorations.

Ye Jingmo started boiling water in the kitchen, pouring the boiling water into the kettle.

When needed, you can use it directly, which is convenient and quick.

Jiang Li wondered how the chickens were doing in the hut.

After finishing the noodle soup with Ye Jingmo in the morning, Jiang Li felt full of energy and went to the front yard to shovel snow.

They followed the path from yesterday and cleared a way to the hut.

Jiang Li opened the door and pulled off the wooden latch that was fastened to the doorway.

When Jiang Li saw the stove, she looked surprised. She thought that the firewood in the hut would burn faster than before due to yesterday's blizzard.

Now, it turns out the firewood is burning slower than before.

Jiang Li looked at Ye Jingmo with a puzzled expression and pointed to the stove.

"Brother Mo, don't you think the firewood in the stove is burning slower than before?"

And the temperature inside the cabin seems even higher than before.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingmo walked to the wall, placed his palm on it, and felt the temperature.

"The temperature is even higher than before."

"Could it be because there's snow piled up outside, preventing the heat from dissipating from the cabin?"

Jiang Li had a sudden inspiration and voiced this possibility.

"That's most likely the case."

Ye Jingmo nodded.

Then wouldn't the snow outside be useful?

Jiang Li had a good idea.

"We can turn the snow outside into ice bricks and build snow walls for the cabin. This will definitely make the cabin more insulated than before."

We can also build an igloo over the well to prevent the snow from freezing the water-fetching tools.

Ye Jingmo agreed with Jiang Li's approach, but they needed to finish the work in the small house first.

Ye Jingmo replaced the wood in the stove, and Jiang Li cleaned the chicken coop and then added food to their food.

While cleaning the chicken coop, she also found a few warm eggs.

Jiang Li provided the hen that was incubating the duck eggs with separate feed, which was a way of giving it special treatment.

After cleaning the cabin, the two went outside and piled up the snow along the wall.

Ye Jingmo used a shovel to pat the snow into brick shapes, while Jiang Li put on gloves and piled the snow bricks against the wall of the hut.

Just like building a house, you stack the pieces one by one.

With great effort, Jiang Li covered the outside of the small house with a layer of ice, which looked like a layer of snow-white decoration.

It looks quite sturdy and can effectively retain heat inside the cabin.

Jiang Li patted the snowflakes off her palms, looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction.

Ye Jingmo took a thermos of hot water from inside the house and handed it to Jiang Li.

The two drank some hot water, rested for a while, and then went to the well.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo shoveled the snow from the side to the well.

The snow at the bottom had frozen solid after two days, and it was impossible to break it apart with just a shovel.

Jiang Li simply took out the industrial salt she had bought earlier from her spatial storage and sprinkled it on the solidified blood clots below.

However, Jiang Li dared not sprinkle too much, as even industrial salt is a scarce resource nowadays.

I wonder how much longer this extreme cold will last? Every little bit helps.

Ye Jingmo used a shovel to make snow bricks and built an igloo by the pool.

The igloo is about the same size as the cabin.

Jiang Li looked at the empty room and thought that sometimes she could come and experience the ice house.

They piled up the remaining snow outside into the shape of a table, with round top and bottom sides and a sturdy supporting pillar in the middle.

Let this table air dry for two days and it will harden. Then you can put things on it without worrying about it suddenly collapsing.

Ye Jingmo swept the melted snow onto the ground with a broom, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Li's masterpiece.

He looked at Jiang Li's face, flushed from the wind, and a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Why didn't you put your hat on properly? Don't you even look at how frozen your face is?"

"When you get frostbite when you go back, you'll know how awful it is."

Ye Jingmo put Jiang Li's hat on her head completely, leaving no gaps, and wrapped a scarf around her lower face.

"Weren't you so engrossed that you didn't notice?"

Jiang Li's words were muffled by the scarf, and what came out was indistinct.

The clouds in the sky rarely parted, allowing a little sunlight to shine through.

The sunlight wasn't very warm; it didn't feel cozy on people.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo cleared all the snow from the yard.

When Jiang Li reached the pond, she remembered that there were still a few fish in it.

The pool was still covered with a layer of ice, and there was also a thin layer of ice on the artificial hill.

Ye Jingmo picked up a shovel and tapped the ice surface. The ice wasn't completely frozen solid, and cracks immediately appeared.

With a loud bang, the ice surface shattered into pieces.

The fish eagerly surged to the surface of the pond, breathing in the fresh air.

Jiang Li scattered a handful of dried locusts for them to eat, so that they wouldn't go hungry and become thin.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo returned to the house, took off their thick coats, and sat on the soft sofa, feeling warm and comfortable all over.

"Ding ~"

Ye Jingmo received the message on his watch and opened it to check.

Jiang Li held the teacup with both hands, blew away the scalding steam, and carefully took two sips.

"Around 2 PM, I need to go out and shovel snow."

Ye Jingmo spoke after reading the message.

"Afternoon? Why so late? Isn't school usually in the morning?"

Jiang Li's hand, which was holding the cup, froze in mid-air, feeling somewhat strange.

"Maybe they're worried that the temperature will be too low in the morning."

The temperature at 2 PM will be slightly higher than in the morning.

Ye Jingmo deduced the possible reason.

"I wonder how the people outside are doing? The messages on my watch are all positive."

It's freezing cold these days, and nobody wants to go out.

If you want to get information, you really can only rely on the official messages released on the watch, but that narrows down the range of information available.

After all, for the sake of social stability, people generally only report good news and not bad news.

"I'll take a look when I go out to shovel snow."

However, many people will likely face great hardship during this extreme cold.

Ye Jingmo knew very well that in the face of natural disasters like this, humanity could only survive by struggling to stay afloat.
