I farmed in ancient times

Snow seeds fell from the sky profusely, falling on the ground like rice, Caesar lowered his head, and walked up the mountain with his cotton shoes in his arms.

The sky was bright red, and a gray shadow flashed on the path at the foot of the mountain.

Caesar paused, and looked at the foot of the mountain vigilantly. The gray shadow slowly emerged from the snow seeds, and it seemed that he was coming this way.

——It’s snowing, who will come out in this kind of weather?

Jue Ming took two steps towards home, the gray shadow immediately changed direction, trotted towards Jue Ming, Jue Ming stopped, waited for the gray shadow to approach, and then saw who was coming.

That gray shadow was Liu Dongmei who had met once.

Wrapped in a gray cloak, Liu Dongmei stood tremblingly in the wind, rubbing her hands together with cold hands, tears streaming down her pale face, and she looked like she was muttering.

If Shi Xiaohua was like this, Jue Ming would definitely ask "what's wrong with little sister Xiaohua", but in front of her was Liu Dongmei, a traditional ancient woman who came here alone, if she talked to her, it might affect her reputation.

Thinking of Aunt Liu's difficult appearance, Jue Ming nodded to her as a greeting, then turned and continued walking towards home.

"Cen, Cen Jueming!" Liu Dongmei mustered up her courage and shouted.

Jueming didn't look back, seeing that she could run and shout, she must have the strength to go home by herself.

"oops!"

A tender cry came, but Jue Ming still didn't turn around.

——There are flat stone roads down the slope, why is she flopping?

The courtyard door of Shi's house opened with a "squeak", Shi Xiaohua poked her head out of the door, saw Liu Dongmei sitting on the ground, and called Dongmei's name in surprise, Shi Xiaohua hurriedly walked down the slope at the foot of the mountain, and went down to give her a hand to sit on. Dongmei who was on the ground stood up.

Cassia had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, opened the door and entered.

The corner of the clothes flashed by, and the door of Cen's courtyard was closed tightly.

Liu Dongmei felt bitter.

As soon as the snow seeds landed, a lot of them melted and mixed with the soil. Shi Xiaohua patted the mud on Dongmei's body and asked, "Why did you come here?"

"My leg has healed, and I want to tell you, how about coming to get your shoes tomorrow?" Liu Dongmei responded calmly with her head lowered.

Shi Xiaohua really believed it, and said that Dongmei's hands are tender, and her family loves her, so she shouldn't do such rough work, and she can come to her anytime.

Anyway, it’s inevitable that there will be a heavy snow these few days. The cats in each family are preparing some food at home, sitting around the fire, talking while eating, the more people, the more lively it is.

Thinking that Jueming ran so diligently to Shi's house, one day they would meet again in the next few days. Liu Dongmei and Xiaohua made an appointment to find her tomorrow, and walked home along the path.

In the next few days, Liu Dongmei braved the wind and snow to come to Shi Xiaohua to talk and do needlework every day. Shi Xiaohua was busy cooking, feeding chickens and dogs, and only chatted with Liu Dongmei in her spare time, but Liu Dongmei still Every day, I am more diligent than anyone else.

Aunt Shi couldn't see it, and asked Dongmei if everything was ready for the winter at home. Liu Dongmei nodded and lowered her eyebrows, and said softly that everything was ready, and it was very boring at home, so she wanted to talk to Shi Xiaohua. Thinking that Shi Xiaohua is so busy these days.

On the second day, Liu Dongmei didn't come back.

Shi Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief. When Liu Dongmei was around, she always had to be distracted to take care of the guests. When she wasn't there, parents could pick up anything they needed, or call Xiaohua to send it over.

After all, she is a married woman. Aunt Shi has more eyes than Shi Xiaohua. These days Liu Dongmei talked about talking to Xiaohua to do needlework, but she didn't say a few words, and the embroidered handkerchief in her hand also had stitches and no stitches. The cracks in the ground, the eyes wandering, always looking at the door.

It was obvious that she wanted to meet someone else under the name of Xiaohua.

When I told Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi also felt that this girl was not simple.

"Could she be here for Cassia?" Uncle Shi analyzed.

"Who knows." Aunt Shi put down the thread in her hand and warmed her hands around the stove, "You can't be too straightforward."

Uncle Shi thought about it, then Liu Dongmei was going for Cassia!If you want to thank Jue Ming and come directly to the door with a gift, it is obvious that you have other plans in such a secretive way!

——The little girl has so many thoughts.

Uncle Shi thought so.

Suddenly someone knocked on the courtyard door, Shi Xiaohua hurriedly went to open the door, and Chaoan carried a small bamboo basket covered with a layer of cloth.

"Sister Xiaohua!" Chao An shouted sweetly, "Let me give some of the sweet melon seeds made by my brother to Uncle Shi, Aunt Shi and Sister Xiaohua to taste."

"Hey." Shi Xiaohua hurriedly invited Chaoan in, and Cen Chaoan put the small basket on the kitchen stove, "I won't go in the house, my brother said that once the door of the main room is opened and closed, the cold air will easily pour in, and you can't freeze it." It's time for Auntie and Uncle Shi."

She is obviously a little girl, and she still speaks in the same way, Shi Xiaohua held back her laughter and said:

"No, my parents are always talking about you not coming over these days, and they have prepared a lot of candy for you to eat."

Hearing that there are sweets to eat, Chaoan began to struggle in his heart.

On the one hand, my brother said to go home after delivery, and on the other hand, the temptation of sugar.

Shi Xiaohua gave him another dose of reassurance, "It's okay, just go in and say a few words and eat a piece of candy, your brother won't blame you."

——That's right, Dad and Uncle Shi have such a good relationship, they won't get beaten if they eat a few pieces of candy.

Thinking of this, Cen Chaoan helped Sister Xiaohua pour out the melon seeds in the small basket.

When Shi Xiaohua touched it, the melon seeds were still hot, it seemed that they had just been fried.

Carrying melon seeds to the main room, Cen Chaoan followed Sister Xiaohua, sat down in the main room, roasted his hands, and listened beautifully to Aunt Shi's praise for growing taller, being polite, and being able to read.

While rubbing the nougat sugar beautifully, God knows why my brother suddenly said one day not to eat too much sugar, or his teeth will be bitten by bugs in the future, and then he was limited to only five candies a day.

Chaoan has not found out where his brother hid the candies so far, so he can only go to his brother every day to ask for five candies and ask for one more.

——However, daddy is also brother's accomplice!Doesn't speak for itself at all!

Chao An ate only three, politely said goodbye to Uncle Shi and Aunt Shi, and happily hopped home with a small basket.

As soon as Cen Chaoan entered the door, Cassia smelled a milky fragrance.

However, Cen Chaoan tried his best to hide the fact that he had eaten candy at Uncle Shi's house, and Caesar, who knew everything, smiled and rubbed Cen Chaoan's hair, and took a plate of oranges to take Chaoan to the main room.

The snow has been falling profusely for three days without stopping, and the snow in the courtyard is a foot high.

Seeing that there was still no intention of stopping the snow today, Jueming put on woolen gloves, and together with Cen's father, took a shovel to shovel the snow in the yard to the door.

After shoveling, I didn't forget to help Shi's family shovel it.

On the fifth day, not only did the snow not stop, but it also tended to fall more heavily. It was still a small snowflake in the past few days, but it gradually developed into a heavy snowfall in the past few days.

Fearing that the snow would crush the roof, villagers in Damo Township set up ladders and used shovels to push the snow off the roof when the temperature was higher at noon.

It has been snowing for days, and Uncle Shi sees Xiaohua's thin body running around in the snow, with a few more gray hairs on her sad face, wishing to slap her ears, what's the point of messing with that tiger? !Now that his wife is pregnant and Xiaohua is still young, how can he bear to do such heavy work! ?

After the first three months, Aunt Shi was able to do some light work, so Uncle Shi sat alone in the house, peeling peanuts and corn kernels.

A big man let his wife and daughter go to work, and sat in the house by himself. Uncle Shi got angry in a hurry, but he couldn't show it too obviously.

Otherwise, Xiaohua would say that leg care is more important than anything else, and she does this work just to warm up.

The courtyard door knocked, interrupting Uncle Shi's thoughts, and Cen Daonian's voice came from outside, "Old Shi—"

Shi Xiaohua hurriedly put down the shovel in her hand and went to open the courtyard gate.

Two adults and one child, standing tightly wrapped outside the courtyard, Cen Daonian walked into the house with a shovel and said, "You should also shovel the snow on your roof, otherwise it will crush the roof."

Uncle Shi put down the half-peeled peanuts, struggled to get up, and limped to the door of the main room. Although the snow in the yard had been cleared away, the snow on the roofs of the east and west wings was still thick.

The thickness is two feet.

"Master." Uncle Shi's face was full of bitterness, "If it weren't for you, I'm not sure whether I, Old Shi, would be able to survive this winter."

"Don't say that." Cen Daonian waved his hand, "They are all neighbors."

Without saying anything else, Jue Ming moved the ladder to the west wing, and Aunt Shi hurriedly went to the kitchen to make some warming soup for them to have a sip when they finished their work.

As soon as the ladder was erected, two more people came from outside the courtyard. Wang Wenqi came with his third brother, still holding a shovel.

The meaning is self-evident.

Seeing that Jueming and the others had already arrived, Wang Wenqi laughed, "I didn't expect that I would rush over after eating early, and I was still a step late."

Seeing that they had set up the ladder, Wang Wenqi was unequivocal. He first climbed up and pushed the snow off the west wing. Chao An and Uncle Shi supported the ladder, while the others shoveled the snow that fell in the yard out of the yard.

Several teenagers took turns to fight, and the snow in the three houses was quickly shoveled. It was winter, but they were sweating on their faces. They rested in the yard for a while, and went to the main room to sit down and drink some hot soup.

"The snow in the village is also very thick, and it is almost impossible to see where is the road and where is the land. It is still led by the elders who plan which ones to shovel and how many roads to clear the snow on the road." Wang Wenqi said. , put down the bowl in his hand, and added: "Li Zheng said that Uncle Shi, you have an injury on your leg, don't get out of bed and walk around casually, and Master, you don't need it either. The snow on the stone road by the mountain will be shoveled by the villagers. You go down the slope and take the stone road."

Cen Chaoan said distressedly: "When will the snow stop! I haven't been able to visit Hu Xiaopang for several days!"

Children also have troubles.

For a while, no one in the room said anything.

It's been snowing for so long that it's hard to think it's just a few extra days of snow.

Thinking of the frequent disasters in the past few years, Jueming lowered his head and quietly calculated.

Since I traveled to the Song Dynasty, I have experienced two floods and two earthquakes.

If there is a pattern, this time there will be two snowstorms in succession.

Once a year on average, if there is any solution——

Jueming thought that every year when disasters occur frequently, he would always have a drowsy fever, and every time the fever was cured, the natural disasters would almost stop.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Wenqi took his third brother and got up to leave. The two young men carried shovels and shoveled all the way to clear the snow in front of Uncle Shi's house.

That night, after Cen's father and Shen Chao'an fell asleep, Jue Ming came out of the east wing wearing unlined clothes.

It was night, but because of the snow, the sky glowed red, and after being refracted by the snow, the yard could be seen without turning on the lights.

The snow shoveled in the morning is now half a foot thick.

A gust of north wind blew up, and the snowflakes were blowing up. Caesar shivered, covered his mouth and nose and sneezed sullenly. After staying in the snow for a while, he went into the house.

Heavy snow was flying, falling profusely and freely within sight.

A group of people and horses stopped halfway, and the leader used the trees on the side of the road as a reference to distinguish where the main road was, and rode forward slowly.

With such a heavy snowfall, it was difficult to see pedestrians on the road, so Shen Yan took the people from the yamen to the townships to inform that the villagers were organizing the villagers to clean up the snow on the houses, so as not to overwhelm the roofs and cause casualties.

Da Mo Township was responding very quickly. Before the notice from the county was issued, the road had already been cleared. Riding across the stone bridge, Shen Yan glanced at the small yard at the foot of the mountain from afar.

The roof is still there.

Shen Yan felt slightly relieved, rode his horse to find Lizheng, and walked towards the foot of the mountain after exchanging pleasantries.
