This snowman is made according to the "snowman" that Su Qingluan had in his previous life - a large "gentle platform" below is the snowman's body, and above is a circled sphere that serves as the snowman's head.
In modern times, the eyes of the snowman are usually made of briquettes or the bases of two beer bottles.
But obviously there are no beer bottles here, but there are briquettes, but those things are very precious fuel and can be used for cooking or heating. It is impossible for Yang and Su Guangfu to let their children play with them.
So Su Qingluan thought about it and simply used two small wine cups that Su Guangfu had not used for a long time that were already cracked and planned to throw away. The two black bottoms of the cups were exposed to serve as the eyes of the snowman. Naturally, the nose could not be replaced by edible carrots. , but replaced it with a small part of a rotted hemp rope.
The hat is much simpler. There is a wooden bucket at home, but it is only used when the weather is cold. It was unanimously disliked by the two children and Su Qingluan, so I used the water scoop used to dig snow instead. As for the snowman's hands, they are inserted into the snowman's body with a snow broom, which is considered complete.
It was the first time for two little guys, Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan, to play the game of "building a snowman". They seemed very excited and even started to play "play house" with the snowman and even gave the snowman a name.
The two of them had a red-faced argument over whether to call the snowman "Bai Bai" or "Pangpang". Su Qingluan only lamented that the child was really energetic, and he could still be so red-faced and quarrel after running in the snow for a long time.
She, a fake girl, just wanted to lie down on the warm fire bed to keep warm.
Ms. Yang was a little embarrassed and muttered: "If the snow is piled up to look like a human being, will it attract any unclean things?"
Su Qingluan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Auntie, there are so many wooden toys in my sister's drawer. If you want to say it looks like a human, which one is more like... eh!" Before he could finish his words, he was patted on the back by Yang.
"Damn kid!" Yang rolled her eyes angrily, "I'm used to scaring your mother. Don't you know that your mother and I are timid, and that's all we're afraid of?"
Seeing Su Qingluan's smiling face, Yang laughed again and said: "Forget it, you're right, we can walk and sit upright, don't do anything bad during the day, and we won't be afraid of the ghost knocking on the door at night! "Probably thinking that so many "dolls" in the drawer did not attract any "dirty things", and it was nothing this time, so I ignored them and followed the children.
On the first and second days, the Su family worked and played at the same time. Generally speaking, it was in a relatively relaxed state. After all, snowing in winter was very normal, and no one paid much attention to it.
But one day, two days, three days... Today is the seventh day it has snowed all day or all night. Although there was no snow for a day and a half, the "black clouds threatening to overwhelm the city" in the sky were just preparing for a bigger snowfall.
So gradually, everyone in the Su family couldn't laugh anymore.
Not to mention plowing and clearing snow all day long. A day or two is fine, but after a long time, you will always get bored. But this is secondary, after all, there are adults to support the children when they get bored.
but……
"Such heavy snow may cause disaster..." Su Guangfu murmured in a low voice while looking at the still cloudy sky above.
Su Qingluan turned around and asked, "Dad, will the mountain be closed due to such heavy snow?"
"Closing the mountain is the next best thing," Su Guangfu sighed again, "With such heavy snow, I have been taking care of the roof of our house, but other people's houses..."
When Su Qingluan heard this, her originally indifferent expression became serious: Yes, the first thing their father and mother do every morning is to knock the snow off all the houses, but not all families do. Those who can do this - for example, those whose homes are mostly occupied by the elderly and infirm, or whose roofs are at wrong angles and the snow cannot be cleared at all.
If too much snow continues to accumulate and break the beams of the house...
Su Qingluan was all excited and looked at Su Guangfu next to her: "Dad, do you want to..."
"In the past, we had too much time to take care of ourselves. The whole house was repaired on the west side and leaked on the east side. But now our house has been renovated..." Su Guangfu looked at his house in the back, "When our house was being renovated, the house in the village was renovated. The folks have helped a lot, and we can’t just ignore it this time.”
Su Qingluan also understood what Su Guangfu meant. Although she had paid wages in the name of "recruiting workers", the effect of "attentiveness" and "uncareful" work were very different for the same work.
Among the people Su Qingluan knew in her previous life, more than one or two were worried about the decoration. They spent money and were angry. Compared with the design drawings, the decoration effect cannot be said to be exactly the same, it can only be said to be vastly different. .
So when the house was being renovated, even though Su Guangfu was "knowledgeable", Su Qingluan was actually a little wary.
I never thought that after the whole process, ten minutes of work can achieve twelve percent results. Even if there is a mistake in the smallest detail, those who come to help will immediately find a way to solve the problem, and always say "Su" A carpenter’s home must not be ambiguous.”
At that time, Su Qingluan realized how popular her father was in the village.
However, this kind of "good popularity" certainly does not come for no reason. Seeing Su Guangfu's appearance today, Su Qingluan seemed to understand why his father had such a popular reputation of "supporting one side in times of trouble."
Sure enough, starting the next day, after Su Guangfu finished clearing the snow, he and Yang went out carrying the ladder and didn't even come back for dinner.
Su Qingluan, her younger brother and younger sister stayed in the house obediently, and did not even visit the Li family across the street - it was windy today, and the snow particles raised outside lined up on the face, and it felt like being slapped on the face. . He wanted to open his mouth to speak, but the choking cold wind made it impossible to open his mouth.
However, in this kind of weather, Su Guangfu and Yang had been busy outside for most of the day. After Su Qingluan had finished dinner with his brothers and sisters, he rushed back with a tired look on his face.
"Dad, Mom?!" What we ate today was haggis soup and noodle soup pancakes made by Su Qingluan. Su Qingluan was afraid that they would not eat and left them in the pot. "Do you want to have dinner?" ? I'll go to the kitchen and boil some hot water for you to take a sip to warm yourself up!"
One of the few benefits of this continuous heavy snowfall is that every household has no shortage of water, so they can just melt the snow outside and use it.
Yang quickly grabbed her and said, "Da Ya, don't be too busy. We've already finished eating."
"Have you finished eating?" Su Qingluan was a little surprised.
"Humph, I helped Lao Zhao's family repair the roof and swept the snow. Isn't it normal for them to treat them to a meal?" Su Guangfu said a little shyly.
Generally speaking, Su Guangfu talked less, and Su Qingluan had never seen such a "stinky fart" before, which made her very curious to go over and take a look.
It turned out that Su Guangfu smelled faintly of alcohol.
Yang smiled and scolded: "I was drinking. I took a nap at someone's place for a while. I'm not sober yet. Really, I just took a sip and that's it..."
"Brother Zhao invites you so warmly, I can't stop drinking, right?"
"Don't you know how drunk you are?" Yang complained mercilessly.
Su Qingluan said in her heart: Yes, my father has a very stable way of pouring people into a cup.
