The result of letting her sister-in-law and her best friend play wildly was that Cheng Xi was forced to listen to the gossip all night.
The daughter of the old bamboo craftsman married into the village next door, Uncle Wang made a hot bed for five or six families in the village, and Shen Daqing's lineage started to branch out again...
Cheng Xi was so sleepy that she nodded her head. She had stayed up late and accumulated more than ten years of experience in her previous life, which made her defeated.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean another vein has branched out again?"
There are about 500 people in Shenjia Village, and most of them are surnamed Shen. Except for the sixth uncle's family, which is relatively well-connected, the rest of the family only has a few dozen people.
Because of this, the position of chief of the Shen clan fell to their branch.
"Shenjia Village has two successful candidates, and now the elder brother...the other one naturally carries the expectations of the villagers."
"Is that Shen Ziqing?"
"It's him."
The little girl was not convinced, "When Aunt Zhang meets people now, she says that after her son becomes a high official, she will be Mrs. Gaoming or something like that. Her tail is almost raised to the sky."
Cheng Xi glanced at her, as disappointed as a defeated dog, with droopy ears, lifeless and a bit unconvinced.
The words that reached her ears were probably processed, and the original words were probably even worse.
But...
"Don't worry, she won't dare say anything in front of you in the future."
That slash was not in vain.
Shen Xingqi looked at her sister-in-law in confusion, and then looked at her brother when she saw her face was determined.
Not only did Shen Xingluo not get angry because of Aunt Zhang's words, but she smiled slightly with the corner of her mouth raised.
she:"?"
The small mountain village is completely silent at night. In ancient times, there were no entertainment programs. As soon as it got dark, every household would choose to take a rest after eating.
The entire Shenjia Village was silent.
And the heavy snow that had stopped for a day fell quietly again this night, with a devastating momentum.
***
The alarm in the space rang on time at 7 o'clock in the morning, waking up the sleeping owner outside.
This is the latest feature discovered by Cheng Xi.
Her guess was correct. The few herbs smuggled in yesterday caused the thick fog in the space to disperse another fifty meters, and even a small piece of black land appeared.
This also strengthened Cheng Xi's desire to explore - who knows what will appear next time the thick fog clears?
While other members of the family were washing up, she disappeared into the farmyard.
There seemed to be something attracting her in the space, the black land outside the villa.
"So what exactly is grown here?"
Since the black earth only appeared after bringing in medicinal materials, Cheng Xi decided to plant all the medicinal materials smuggled in here, especially the two small ginseng plants.
Just do it. She took the tools and carefully selected the location to bury the kudzu root and ginseng. Finally, she sprayed some water with the water bottle.
Well...it looks better this way.
Although the small leaves of ginseng are still withered and yellow, they at least look alive with water drops.
A great sense of accomplishment.
As soon as Cheng Xi stood up, he heard an exclamation coming from outside the space.
"What's wrong?"
"It's snowing, so heavy snow!"
Shen Xingqi was standing at the door. A large amount of snow fell in due to the sudden opening of the door, and the outside of the house was already completely white.
The area shoveled out yesterday was filled with snow again, and the thickness of the snow was even thicker than yesterday.
Cheng Xi took a few steps forward and looked outside. His eyes were completely white with no color, and his eyes had a faint tingling sensation.
"It was just one night, but it rained so hard?"
The snow outside has reached the window, at least half a meter high, and the overwhelming snowflakes outside are still flying, showing no intention of stopping.
Shen Xingluo came out from the other side, his expression gloomy and unclear.
"eat first."
Cheng Xi glanced at him and then moved his gaze to the iron stove in the living room.
I filled up the charcoal before going to bed last night. Was it a coincidence or a plan?
The atmosphere at breakfast today was a bit depressing. Even Shen Xingqi realized that the heavy snow was unusual and couldn't help but look outside while eating.
"Brother, with such heavy snow, the road must be difficult, right?"
"Are you going to Fucheng?"
"It's not me. Yesterday Xiaoyue said that she planned to go to the embroidery shop to buy some cloth and embroidery thread today."
"It's still raining outside. If it's not necessary, no one will go out."
As everyone knows, the heavy snow has just begun. If you haven't discovered the importance of harvesting grain at this time, it will only become more and more difficult in the future.
As Shen Xingluo expected, other people in the village gradually discovered the situation outside after getting up.
Those who had not gone to Fucheng to buy food in the past two days originally planned to go out today, but quickly gave up the idea when they saw heavy snowfall.
"Forget it, this heavy snow will fall on you and you will get wet quickly."
"That's right, then the cotton-padded jacket won't be of any use anymore."
"There is snow on the road. It will be difficult to walk if it is deep and shallow. Let's talk about it."
"Wait until the snow stops before we go!"
...
Shen's courtyard.
After dinner, the three of them started shoveling the snow.
When Cheng Xi went out, he had three more things in his hands and stuffed one into each person's hand.
"These are glasses. I bought them at the grocery store in Fucheng a few days ago. They can protect my eyes."
She first picked up a pair of goggles and put them on the bridge of her nose, and most of her face was instantly covered.
It's weird, yet somewhat good-looking. In short, it's very novel.
The Shen brothers and sisters looked at her, one thoughtful and the other surprised.
"What are you looking at me for? Put it on!"
Shen Xingluo was silent for a moment and took the lead in putting on the goggles. Because of the shielding of the lenses, his eyes that were about to shed tears were much better.
turn out to be......
"Is this specially used in snowy weather?"
He figured out the purpose of the goggles after just a moment's thought.
Bai Xue seems innocuous but has a great influence on people. In previous lives, many people had difficulty seeing after snow disasters, and even doctors didn't know how to treat them.
Cheng Xi didn't know that he was thinking a lot at this time, so he nodded and explained, "Heavy snow can easily cause snow blindness. It means that your eyes will be uncomfortable if you look at the snow for a long time."
She put it on Shen Xingqi, and the little girl's face was instantly reduced to a small nose and mouth.
"With this layer of lenses, it won't be affected when you see the snow."
"It's true! My eyes were still crying just now, but I'm much better now."
Because of it, the three of them were more energetic when working - in fact, wearing goggles was a bit novel, and they almost treated working as a play.
The snow in the yard was too thick. It took nearly two hours to clean up the yard this time, and the snowdrift under the east wall was also cleared away.
Many people outside were doing the same work as them, and every household began to shovel snow.
Cheng Xi rested for a moment and took out a machete from the west room.
"I'll go to the back mountain and chop some firewood and come back."
The charcoal at home was enough for the winter, and she spent a lot of money on it, but she always felt a sense of urgency when she saw the snow getting heavier and heavier.
The snowstorm has just begun. Who knows what it will be like in the future?
It’s always good to have extra supplies.
