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

I don’t know if I’m tired from playing outside all day, but today the steamed buns, pickles, and dried fish feel particularly fragrant.

They fed all the animals in the house before washing them and going to bed.

Although southerners don't take a shower, they still have the habit of taking a shower every other day, or at most every two days, even in winter.

Before Zhao Yeqing fell asleep, he muttered drowsily, "It's too cold to take a bath today. It would be nice if I could soak in a hot spring."

the next morning.

She woke up from the cold.

There is no one around anymore.

Firewood has been added to the fireplace and it is burning brightly.

She thought Mu Xi was going to make breakfast, so she lingered on the bed for a while, but her body didn't warm up, so she reluctantly climbed out of bed.

Sitting in front of the fireplace, I warmed my hands and feet, and my boots were warm, so I changed my clothes and went out.

There was no sign of Mu Xi in the kitchen. A fire was already lit on the stove. She opened the lid of the pot and found the cooked vegetable porridge inside.

I don’t know where the person went. No one was found inside or outside, and Xiaohong was not in the stable.

Guessing that Mu Xi was out walking his horse or looking for something, she didn't rush. Zhao Yeqing sat in the kitchen, filled a bowl with porridge and slowly let it cool before eating.

After finishing breakfast, Mu Xi appeared at the door.

He reworked the large wooden board that had been temporarily nailed for hauling hay, and nailed two sleigh-like slide rails underneath.

On the board was wood he had chopped down.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhao Yeqing thought of what he said yesterday, "Do you want to make a refrigerator?"

Mu Xi shook his head, "Didn't you say last night that it was too cold to take a bath? There are no hot springs. I plan to make a wooden barrel for you to take a bath in."

Only then did she recall what she said casually last night. Seeing how interested he was, she smiled and leaned over to give him a pop. She slipped her little hand into his palm and clasped her fingers together.

"Why are you so nice?"

She took his hand and walked to the kitchen, pressed him on the bench, "Let's warm up the fire first, and I'll tie Xiaohong into the stable."

Xiao Hong is not afraid of the cold. The current temperature of minus ten degrees is nothing to it. After going out for a walk, he seems to be in much better spirits.

Zhao Yeqing took it to the stable, but it still stood there unwilling to move. Zhao Yeqing promised, "Tomorrow, I will take you out to play tomorrow!"

After much discussion, I invited him back.

When she closed the stable door, she was too strong and a piece of snow fell on her head, which stunned her.

The movement startled Mu Xi, who rushed out of the kitchen to her side and understood when he saw the snow on her head and the debris on the ground.

"Go inside first."

The snow has been frozen very hard. Fortunately, the ones that fell were relatively small and on the sides, not the hardest kind, and the snow pieces were not big.

There was already a swelling on her head. Mu Xi brought medicinal oil and rubbed it for her. "I'll go first in a while and clear the snow on the roof."

The snow on the roof is indeed a major hidden danger. If it is too heavy, the house will easily collapse.

Neither of them had any experience living in such a weather environment, so it was inevitable that they would accidentally overlook the danger of the roof.

The pain on Zhao Yeqing's head dissipated a little, "I remember seeing it before. The weather alternates between hot and cold, and the snow on the roof melts and freezes into ice edges, making it even more dangerous to fall down."

The two of them originally planned to make wooden barrels one by one, and process the kudzu powder soaked yesterday by the other, but now the top priority is to clear the snow from the roof first.

The snow in the yard has not been dealt with before, so I took this opportunity to clear it out together, lest it accumulate too much and ice will be everywhere in the yard when it melts.

Mu Xi took a ladder and started cleaning the roof with a long stick. Zhao Yeqing found a shovel and started clearing the snow outside the yard.

Our family has recently built many new houses. In addition to the original sheep pen, there are also stables, chicken coops, cow pens and rabbit pens.

I haven’t updated the floor plan for a long time, so I’ll figure out the details myself.

As the yard grows larger, it becomes harder to clean up.

After clearing less than half of the front yard, I had to sit down and take a break.

Watching Mu Xi use a long stick to remove the snow from the roof.

The snow is relatively hard, so you have to poke a crack with a stick first, and then the snow turns into big chunks.

Then use a stick to pull it off in pieces, which seems to relieve the pressure.

The snow fell and fell on the ground where she had just shoveled the snow...

Yes, the stress I just relieved came back in an instant.

Zhao Yeqing stood up after resting, and planned to shovel the snow outside the yard first, and then clean up the inside after Mu Xi finished the roof.

After Mu Xi removed the snow from the roof piece by piece, he came over and took over her work.

"I'll get the snow, and you get the kudzu. It has to settle again, so it needs to be done as soon as possible."

She wanted to say that she could do it at night, but Mu Xi had already taken the shovel.

Pueraria lobata powder does need to be washed and precipitated a second time.

She walked to the big tank and opened the lid. The originally white and yellowish water inside had turned into a turbid light yellow.

Zhao Yeqing took the water ladle and scooped out all the water in the jar.

When the yellow water inside is emptied, the white sediment inside is exposed.

Zhao Yeqing opened the faucet and filled it with water again.

He took another two-finger-thick bamboo stick, washed away the dust on it, inserted it into the jar, stirred the white sediment at the bottom again, and mixed it with the water.

The water in the tank gradually turned gray-white, and then she put down the bamboo stick in her hand.

When it settles tomorrow, the kudzu powder will be more than half done.

Zhao Yeqing took a smoked chicken off the stove and soaked it in water, planning to make soup with fresh kudzu later.

Mu Xi has already finished clearing the snow in the front yard. The rabbit circle is not going to be cleaned. It is just covered with snow, which keeps it warmer than without snow.

The plastic shed above the place where she originally grew vegetables has been dismantled, and all plastic sheets are recycled without wasting any waste.

Zhao Yeqing thought that there was not much to eat in this weather, and the few pea tips grown in the house were not enough.

She looked at the brick kiln next to her and thought about the feasibility of making a few more pots and growing more vegetables.

You can't go out looking for Xuelihong every day, there will always be a time when you run out.

Zhao Yeqing walked into the kitchen, and outside the window was Mu Xi shoveling snow.

While cooking, she discussed the feasibility with him, "I mainly want to eat some fresh green leafy vegetables, otherwise my stomach and intestines will be bad."

Mu Xi: "I remember there were spinach seeds in the bag. We should still be able to plant them at this temperature."

Zhao Yeqing knew that he could farm, but he still had to dig out the clay to make the pots, which was really troublesome.

Mu Xi thought for a while, "Didn't you make a clay pot last time that was useless? If there is not enough, nail one with wood to make ends meet. Wooden pots are not prone to mold this season."

It's not impossible. Zhao Yeqing chopped the smoked chicken into pieces and was about to ask if he wanted to stew one more to feed the dog later.

Looking up, he saw an animal tail protruding from the back of the bathroom behind Mu Xi.
