Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Mu Xi tied her shoelaces on her, "Stand up and try to take two steps."

The rabbit fur in the shoes is specially selected, using fur that is less than one year old. It is not very thick but still warm.

"It's not uncomfortable, it's soft."

Mu Xi helped her sit on the bench and took off the boots from her feet. "Go and warm your feet first. Put the shoes by the fireplace first. Once they are warm, put them on again."

The snowy day was a special period. Fortunately, she had less menstrual cramps and it ended in three days. Unlike her best friend, who had to take painkillers to save her life during menstruation, it lasted for a week.

Zhao Yeqing sat on the rocking chair to warm his feet. He picked up the scarf and continued knitting. The scarf was just long enough to be wrapped around his neck twice. He could almost finish the knitting today.

It will be dark.

Mu Xi came to ask Zhao Yeqing to eat, and she put the knitted scarf around him.

The white scarf made the man's brows soft, and her eyes were bright under the dancing firelight.

“It’s so beautiful~”

Mu Xi took off the scarf, folded it and put it in the cabinet, "Put it away first, for fear of getting dirty."

The tops of the leather boots faced the fireplace, and they were already warm inside.

I put on my shoes and walked into the kitchen. There was a bubbling hot spicy soup in the pot. It smelled very spicy with enough pepper added.

There was no dried fungus at home, so Mu Xi found some dried lichen in the bag of dried mushrooms, soaked them and put them into the soup.

Hu spicy soup is made by kneading the dough and then thickening it with water that contains powder. The resulting soup is very thick.

For this Hu spicy soup, I had the same highland barley cake as last night. One bite of soup and one bite of cake. The cake has relatively large pores, so when you put it in the soup, it will absorb the soup.

By the end of the meal, beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, and she felt so refreshed.

She listed spicy soup on her winter menu and drank it for three days in a row until the end of the special period.

After getting rid of his backache, Zhao Yeqing felt like he was alive again.

Occasionally, the room needed to open the window for ventilation, and the moment she opened the window, snowflakes drifted in.

It started snowing continuously two days after my period, and the snow outside had reached my knees.

Zhao Yeqing will go see the wheat seedlings in the wheat field as soon as his menstrual period is over.

The snow on the road was so thick that the originally ten-minute walk to the wheat field took almost an hour.

When I arrived at the wheat field, I saw that the wheat seedlings were covered with snow.

This made her breathe a sigh of relief.

The recent snowfall was accompanied by wind, and she was worried that the wheat would die from the cold. Now she saw that the wheat seedlings were covered with snow, which instead resisted the attack of cold air and played a role in keeping warm.

As the saying goes, "If you cover yourself with a three-layer wheat quilt in winter, you will sleep with a steamed bun on your pillow next year." '

The snow resists the cold air and absorbs heat when the sun comes out, and the heat is transferred to the wheat seedlings covering below.

After the snow melts due to heat, the snow water will irrigate the wheat fields and increase soil moisture.

The water from the melted snow contains nitrogen compounds, which is equivalent to disguised fertilization and can save a lot of sheep cake.

The only downside is that if the ground stays warm, there will be bugs hiding underneath for the winter.

However, when the snow melts, it will be colder than when it falls. If the snow wants to melt, it must absorb heat. The soil will then cool down rapidly, and the pests hiding in it will freeze to death.

Zhao Yeqing touched the tall wheat seedlings that were not completely covered, and couldn't help but sigh.

What a perfect ecological system nature has evolved, if humans had not forcibly broken the rules.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the cold snow on her cheeks.

Zhao Yeqing's eyes turned around, and Mu Xi held a snowball in his hand and pressed it against her cheek. The coolness made her squint her eyes.

She knelt down and quickly picked up a snowball and threw it at it. Mu Xi turned sideways to avoid it, stepped in front of her in two steps, and hit her on the top of her head with a small snowball.

The advantage of long legs was now revealed. The snow on her calves seemed like nothing to Mu Xi. She reached out to brush the snow off her head and looked at Mu Xi who had retreated three meters away.

"Don't move!"

Mu Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How can you be like this? Can't you afford it?"

"in spite of."

She held a snowball and walked over in a swagger. Mu Xi tried to move but was immediately stopped, "Don't move if you tell me."

He raised his hands helplessly and stood there surrendering, lowering his head proactively, "Smash it."

The snowball did not fall on his head. Zhao Yeqing quickly opened his collar and threw a small snowball in his hand.

The snowballs got into his clothes and were squeezed apart. Mu Xi, who was cold, quickly shook his clothes to shake the snowballs out.

After shaking off the snow from his clothes and stuffing them back into his clothes, when Mu Xi looked up again, Zhao Yeqing had already climbed to the top of the hill.

Looking at the meadow from a high place, it is surrounded by a vast expanse of white, and the snow reflects the luster of stars in the sun.

She looked at the white snow with a smile, "Go back and make a sleigh."

She had wanted to go north to spend the winter playing in the snow, skiing and watching ice sculptures. Unexpectedly, before she could go there, she had already realized it in another way.

It was really inconvenient to go out on this snowy day and it was difficult to walk. It took the two of them nearly an hour to get home.

What Zhao Yeqing wanted was a sleigh that could slide on the snow using materials that were smooth enough. The most convenient material to obtain was bamboo, but he didn't know if it could bear the load.

To cut bamboo, you have to dig down into the mountain.

There are leaves covering our heads, and the snow in the mountains is much thinner than on the meadows.

Most of the colors in the mountains and forests are covered with white snow, and only some evergreen trees are dotted with green, making the mountains in winter look less depressing.

The two of them walked towards the small bamboo forest. When they almost reached the bamboo forest, they noticed a touch of red in the snow.

It is a wild plum tree. The trunk of the plum tree is darker than other trees. The ink-colored trunk standing in the white snow is covered with rose-red flowers.

In the cold winter when everything is quiet, it looks peerless and independent.

"Plum blossoms are blooming next to the bamboo forest..." Zhao Yeqing stepped forward and lowered the branches, and the very subtle cold fragrance of plum blossoms lingered on the tip of his nose, "This is just one short of gathering the three friends of Suihan."

This plum tree grew luxuriantly. Mu Xi looked at the numerous flowers on it and said, "If you like it, just break off a branch and put it back."

After saying that, he remembered something, "Didn't you say you wanted to drink tea a few days ago? The dried plum blossoms made into tea have a slightly bitter taste, but the sweetness is gone. The aroma is not bad."

The original plan of cutting bamboo together turned into one person cutting bamboo and the other picking plum blossoms.

Zhao Yeqing picked flowers that are about to bloom. Such flowers are full of fragrance but have not spread out yet. After drying and throwing them into hot water, they will bloom in the cup.

When they went out, they didn't expect to find something unexpected. Except for hatchets and guns, the two of them didn't have any baskets to carry anything with them.

Zhao Yeqing could only take it off and carry it with his clothes, and he was careful on the way home.
