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

The thick clouds that had accumulated had now dispersed a little, letting out the sun for some air, and the slightest bit of warm sunlight shone on the meadow.

The snow on the meadow is covered with ice. The ice is not smooth, like the skin of lychees, with some raised particles.

Zhao Yeqing walked out of the door and raised his hand to touch it. The bulges of these particles did not hurt his hands. They must have been smoothed by the wind after a long period of time.

The current yard is even more difficult to walk in than in snowy weather.

The snow turned to ice, and even picking my toes was useless.

The two of them used shovels to clear the path that they could walk on. The snow could not be moved now. It was not soft before, but now it was a hard ice shell.

Zhao Yeqing thought of the meat that was still in the house and said, "How about just digging out a space in the ice and using it as a refrigerator."

Although the temperature dropped sharply, the cold wave did not increase the thickness of the snow. Instead, due to the wind, the snow was blown away or condensed into ice. The falling ice ballast also squeezed the gaps in the snow. Now the ice and snow are When piled up, it only reaches knee height.

Zhao Yeqing poked at the hardness of the ice and felt that with this hardness, animals would not be able to get in and eat.

Both of them had to use iron tools to get it open.

Mu Xi tried it with a tool, and the ice particles flew straight towards his face, so he quickly turned his head to avoid it.

"You go get the meat and I'll carve it."

It is not troublesome to carve out a space, but the difficulty is how to seal it.

Zhao Yeqing took a large square wooden board, which was just the size of the mouth of the refrigerator.

Cut out a small square in the middle of the board, like the character 'hui'.

Connect the small square and the large square together with the hinges of the collapsed tool room door.

Still using water, after the big square is connected to the ice layer at the mouth of the refrigerator and sticky, you only need to open the small square to take out the meat.

Mu Xi gave her a thumbs up.

After the two fed the animals, they hurried back to the room.

The moisture brought out by breathing has already caused white frost on their eyebrows and eyelashes.

"it's too cold."

Zhao Yeqing returned to the room, heating himself up by the fire and couldn't help but stamp his feet.

This was a cold she had never experienced before.

I can't imagine that the cities in the north have completely turned into a world of ice and snow. After all, they have more than 40 degrees below zero.

Mu Xi put aside the goat milk squeezed out today, scooped out a pot of milk, and put it on the fire to boil.

"Fortunately, the sheep are still healthy. This morning, the charcoal in the charcoal basin was almost gone. I still have to wake up at night to add charcoal to the sheep pen and chicken coop."

The outside of the chicken coop has been wrapped in quilts, which ensures that the chickens have not been frozen to death. However, they have not touched eggs for several days. It was not until the wind stopped today that four eggs were found.

Mu Xi cracked two eggs into the boiled goat's milk, beat them up, put sugar in a bowl and served them for breakfast.

I've been drinking a lot of goat's milk recently. I don't know if it's because of the goat's milk, but also because of the reduced amount of exercise. The fat that Zhao Yeqing had lost before seems to have started to grow again.

Mu Xi finished his breakfast and continued busy with the work at hand - sewing clothes.

Zhao Yeqing was very surprised that Mu Xi could actually make clothes. He paused for a moment before saying, "I have been using a sewing machine for two years."

But there are still differences between this and a sewing machine, including the open cutting of clothes and the unfamiliar sheepskin material.

I started making clothes when the cold wave started, and it’s just finishing now.

After sewing the last stitch and biting off the thread, Mu Xi shook the vest and said, "Try?"

Zhao Yeqing was a little surprised, "Is it ready?"

It's been a long time since she had the joy of buying new clothes.

I took off my coat and tried on the vest. It was a white sheepskin vest. The inner layer was sheepskin and the outer layer was long-haired goat hair. The wool was very fluffy and smooth. The length of the vest was regular, neither too long nor too short.

I originally thought that the leather lining would feel a little cold, but it was indeed not warm when I first put it on, but I felt the warmth after a while. The inner layer is airtight but the outer layer can trap heat, and it is not heavy to wear, so it is very comfortable.

Zhao Yeqing turned around in front of Mu Xi, "Does it look good?"

He subconsciously wanted to answer: It looks good, but then he thought about whether it would be perfunctory, and the words that came to his lips were expanded to,

"It's beautiful, very beautiful."

His eyes were firm and his face was serious.

Zhao Yeqing was stunned for a moment, is he so beautiful?

There was no full-length mirror at home, so she couldn't see clearly. Seeing Mu Xi's look, she decided to believe what he said.

The sheepskin vest looked thin, but it was much warmer than a cotton vest.

Zhao Yeqing never took it off once he wore it. Even if he had to wear a coat, he would wear it outside his vest.

It's thin, warm and made by my boyfriend himself, who doesn't like this.

Being recognized by others was the biggest motivation. Mu Xi started sewing new clothes on the third day.

When Zhao Yeqing came back from giving Xiaohong a meal, he saw Mu Xi who was threading needles in the house.

The feeling of having a sweet wife when I come home after working outside appears again.

-

There has been no wind and ice in the past two days, the dark clouds in the sky have dispersed a lot, and the temperature has risen slightly.

Zhao Yeqing wanted to see the pasture. Not all the pasture was cut back last time. He didn't know if the pasture was still alive.

The two packed their things and went out.

The clothes that Mu Xi later made with needlework were for the dogs at home. Some of the old clothes that he got in the village were for children. They were not the right size but they were still made of cotton, so he brought them back.

Now, if I change it, I can put clothes on all the dogs.

Zhao Yeqing placed the sleigh on the ice, and several dogs ran out of the house happily, wearing colorful cotton-padded jackets.

The dogs smiled happily when they were able to come out to play, and they looked very festive with their colorful cotton-padded jackets.

Mu Xi was worried about whether the ice would collapse, so he got on the sled first and let the dog run around for a while. When there was no problem, he came back and let Zhao Yeqing sit on it.

Gouzi first pulled Zhao Yeqing to the pasture and then went back to pick up Mu Xi.

The grassland was also covered with snow. After using a shovel to open it up, the grass inside was revealed, and it had turned yellowish brown.

"They're all freezing to death."

Zhao Yeqing looked distressed. Most of the alfalfa was harvested, and only a little of the second crop of ryegrass was harvested. Now it's all gone.

The pasture was frozen to death, not to mention her wheat seedlings. This batch of wheat seedlings would definitely not be saved.

Seeing her frustrated look, Mu Xi stretched out his hand to hold up her face and rubbed it, "We will just plant again when spring comes, and then we will open a paddy field."

Zhao Yeqing nodded feebly, and Mu Xi held her hand, "Do you want to go to the lake?"

Being diverted, Zhao Yeqing became more energetic in an instant.

"Want to see."
