A few days after the incident, there was another heavy snowfall. The snow fell continuously for three days before it stopped. It was completely white outside, and the family's thatched house made a creaking sound from the pressure and was severely overloaded.
Niu Dadu hardly slept at all. He kept staring at the house at night. He got up from time to time to look at the roof. When he saw the snow was thick, he shoveled it away. He did not go back to the house to rest until the heavy snow stopped, snoring loudly.
Seeing this scene, Niu Caohua secretly vowed to build a new house when spring comes!
With a new house, you don’t have to worry about the house collapsing if you fall asleep.
As soon as the snow stops, trouble begins.
It turned out that the houses of two families in the village were overwhelmed and collapsed. The good news is that the houses collapsed this morning. There were no casualties, only property damage.
Those two families were none other than the Niu Mi Liang family and the Lin family.
Grandma Bai got up early, beat up her lazy son and daughter-in-law, and asked them to shovel the snow in the yard. She was cooking in the kitchen when she heard a "bang" and screams from next door, which scared her and ran away. When I came out to take a look, my son and his wife also stretched their necks.
When it became clear that Mrs. Lin's house had collapsed, Mrs. Lin was stamping her feet outside and cursing God. Grandma Bai's family couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
The old lady next door is finally in trouble!
Grandma Bai hid out when the house shook and nothing happened, and her little granddaughter Niu Xier was fine when the house collapsed. She was called out to collect firewood before dawn in the morning. When the house collapsed, she didn't do anything. at home.
Another family, Niu Miliang, had a corner of their house collapsed and a big hole in the eaves, and cold wind kept blowing in.
There was nothing wrong with the dozen or so people in the family, not even a broken skin.
Niu Li arrived in a hurry, and first went to Lin's house which was closer. He saw the house which was already in ruins, and then looked at Lin who was still digging things in the ruins. He just felt a headache.
Now, wherever there are free houses in the village, they are occupied by new villagers there. Lin's popularity is not good, and it is not possible that anyone is willing to take them to live there.
To build a house, you need money and materials.
When Mrs. Lin saw Li Zheng, she rushed over wiping her tears. She had a hard life. She had no children and now she didn't even have a house. Wouldn't this cost her her life.
"Li Zheng, call someone here quickly. My things, my money box are all buried down there. How can I live without them." Ms. Lin cried with tears and snot all over her face, coupled with the fact that she had just been looking for something. Covered in dust, the whole person was really a little tired.
Li Zheng dodged Lin's hand and quietly retreated behind his eldest son Niu Shanbao: "Don't worry, I will definitely find the things for you. You first go to a relative's house to rest. It's so cold in this cold weather. Don’t get sick from the cold.”
Mrs. Lin was reluctant to leave, fearing that someone would dig up her things while she was away. She shook her head and went back to the ruins to dig out her things.
"Shan Bao, please find a few people to help her look for her things. I'll go to another house to have a look." After Li Zheng told his eldest son, he turned around and went to Niu Miliang's house.
The situation at Niu Miliang's house is not bad. The collapsed corner happened to be the house of his youngest son Niu Tongqian. Their things were moved out in time. However, the house can no longer accommodate anyone. The whole family got together to discuss how to squeeze in. A squeeze.
Seeing that he had nothing to do here, Ushizato ordered them to sweep the snow off the roof quickly and then went around the whole village.
Knock on doors and ask them to come out and clear snow from roofs.
Some more industrious people have a thin roof with some thin ice cubes hanging under the eaves.
Some people's houses with thick snow on their roofs were creaking, but they didn't think it was anything at all and kept themselves warm by the fire with faces on their faces.
Looking at these lazy guys who were not afraid of death, Niu Li was standing at the door and scolded them. Then they reluctantly went to the roof to clear the snow. Looking at these lazy guys who didn't care about life and death, Niu Li was grimacing. With his face gone, he turned around and went to the next house.
Fortunately, the people in the village were quite diligent, and most of them got up all night to work, so Niu Li's gloomy face improved a lot.
After reading this, Niu Li was about to check out the houses where the new group of villagers lived. Those houses had not been occupied for a long time, and he wondered if anything had happened.
Just after walking that way for a while, I saw Wang Jiaqiang rushing this way. When he saw Niu Lizheng, his eyes immediately lit up and he walked quickly.
Niu Lizheng was startled, thinking that something had happened, and quickly walked a few steps.
"Li Zheng, you came at the right time. I just have something to trouble you with." Wang Jiaqiang took Niu Lizheng's hand and shook it up and down twice, with a smile on his face.
"Brothers from the Wang family, tell me if you have anything to say." Niu Lizheng twitched his hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
This is too enthusiastic. He has never seen this before.
"Didn't the snow stop? We happened to be running out of food, so I thought I'd ask Dadu to help us take him to the city. Don't worry, we'll definitely pay for the travel expenses." Wang Jiaqiang had no choice.
They ate the food they bought a few days ago too quickly. The winter was very cold and they were hungry quickly. They originally planned to eat a month's worth of food, but ended up eating it in less than twenty days. They didn't have much money on them. What to do after buying food?
So as soon as the snow stopped, I couldn't wait to find Niu Lizheng and ask him to help find out when Niu Dadu would be free and take them to the city to collect relief food.
It turned out to be a matter of relief food. Niu Li's heart suddenly dropped as he thought it was some big deal.
"I happen to be going to Dadu's house. Come with me and ask." This mule cart doesn't belong to him, so he can't make the decision.
"Haha, very good, very good." Wang Jiaqiang couldn't wait to see it. He let Niu Lizheng go first and followed him.
When the two of them walked to Niu Dadu's house, Niu Dadu happened to be shoveling snow. The snow at the door had been shoveled and small snowdrifts had been piled up.
Niu Caohua and Niu Xiaodi were building a snowman, and she directed Niu Dadu to pile the snow into the desired shape. The two siblings further processed it.
The snowman has already made a rough prototype, but the details are still missing. Niu Xiaodi also picked up some dead branches and put them aside to help improve it together.
The few people who heard the footsteps stopped what they were doing and turned to look in the direction of the footsteps. It turned out that Niu Li was coming with a strange uncle with a smile on his face.
What is this for?
Niu Caohua kept moving her hands while eavesdropping with her ears pricked up.
After listening to a few words, I understood the purpose of my visit. It turned out that I was going to the city to receive relief food and wanted to take a ride.
Niu Dadu agreed without much hesitation.
My daughter said last night that she wanted to buy some things at the market, so I just happened to take them with me.
Wang Jiaqiang received the good news and left happily without stopping. However, Niu Lizheng did not leave in a hurry, but walked over and watched Niu Caohua and his brother making snowmen with great interest, remembering his green days.
When he was a child, he also played like this with his brothers and sisters at home.
It's a pity that time flies by and time is not forgiving.
