The snow was heavy, and the snow was up to my knees. It was not easy to clean up.

But no matter how difficult it is to clean up the snow, it still needs to be cleaned up. Otherwise, with the heavy snow falling like this, if it keeps falling during the day, the snow in the yard will only get deeper and it will be more difficult to clean up.

When Song Juan, Song Laifu, and Li Guilan cleared a passage from the snow in the yard and opened the door, they found that the snow outside was only slightly lighter than in the yard.

“This time, it’s really a snow disaster!”

Song Juan followed Song Laifu and began to clear the snow in front of her house, preparing to clear a passage to the firewood stack.

Although there is some firewood stored in the utility room at home, in such a heavy snow day, no one knows when the snow will stop. If it snows for two or three days in a row, it will really be a disaster.

Song Juan and Song Laifu were busy clearing the snow. Song Jianjun and Qu Xiaofu were also clearing the snow at the moment. They moved back to the house in the village just before the winter vacation. They didn't have much food and firewood at home.

This must first open up the road to the old Song family.

Song Mingshu was also helping, but he was small and incompetent.

As for Song Mingwen and Song Mingwu, these two little brothers are still sleeping, who let them still be children!

…

At this moment, in the entire Banpo Village, everyone who woke up was clearing the snow in their yards, and those who moved quickly had already started to clear the snow outside their doors.

When Song Juan and Song Laifu opened the passage to their firewood stacks, the loudspeaker in the village rang.

Call on the whole village to come together to clear the snow on various streets in the village.

Zhao Meilan, who was punished by the village and lived in the cowshed, almost despaired after discovering how heavy the snow was.

The village's cowshed is only two miles away from the village.

But she was not short of food at the moment, but she was short of firewood.

"I can't die!"

"I have to live!"

Zhao Meilan wanted to clean up the snow, but she found that she didn't even have the tools.

She threw the shovel used to clean the cow dung over the cow pen.

She had no tools at hand.

The worst thing is that the snow is flying and the view is blocked.

Even if she wanted to brave the wind and snow and walk through the thick snow back to the village, she could not find the way.

From the cowshed back to the village, you have to pass through a slope and there is an earth bridge in the middle. If you accidentally step on it and fall into the snow hole, or simply fall into the ditch under the bridge, you will definitely be gone soon.

.

"Ah, ah..."

Looking at the heavy white snow outside the door, Zhao Meilan felt sad and couldn't help crying.

She really doesn't want to die!

She wants to live a good life, and she wants to change her way of life.

But why is it so difficult?

"Song Juan, if I don't survive, I will become a ghost and haunt you!"

Zhao Meilan, who was becoming more and more desperate, huddled in the bed and muttered to herself.

…

Song Juan, who was far away in the village, suddenly sneezed twice.

Hearing the sneezing, Li Guilan immediately became anxious and called Song Juan to go back to the house to warm up.

In this kind of weather, if you catch wind and cold, it is impossible to send you to a hospital.

"Mom, I'm fine, it's just that my nose was a little itchy just now!"

"I'm not cold!"

Song Juan told the truth.

She is not cold at all now.

The task of clearing the snow is really laborious.

Li Guilan thought for a moment and said: "Then you go back and make some ginger soup, and we will all drink some later."

With this big snow, the weather is already cold. When the snow stops and the snow melts, the weather will only get colder.

"Fine!"

Knowing that her mother was taking care of her, Song Juan did not shirk it.

After all, you know your own business.

Song Juan herself is not a person who can exert great strength. It is really a bit laborious to clean up such heavy snow.

Go back and make some ginger soup. It's very good for her.

Not long after Song Juan cooked the ginger soup, Song Laifu and Li Guilan also came back.

They have cleared the snow in front of their house and connected it to their neighbor's house next door.

Song Jianjun and Qu Xiaofu also finished clearing the snow in front of their house and also connected to the next door.

When Song Laifu and Li Guilan came back, Song Jianjun and Qu Xiaofu also came with Song Mingshu.

Breakfast hasn't been made yet, let me have a bowl of ginger soup first.

"Drink quickly, I also added some brown sugar!"

Song Juan scooped out ginger soup for everyone. To be precise, it was ginger brown sugar water.

"With such heavy snow, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to celebrate the New Year!"

When everyone was drinking ginger syrup, Li Guilan suddenly said something quietly.

"Definitely not coming back!"

Song Juan nodded in agreement.

There was such heavy snow that the telephone lines were probably broken.

As for the road from the county seat to Qiaojia Town?

It is definitely impossible to continue to open to traffic.

As for organizing manpower to clear the snow on the road? Don't be kidding.

Although there are villages along the road here, the problem is that some sections of the road are far away from the villages. Even if the higher authorities notify the villages to clear the snow, some places still cannot be cleared.

Let’s just talk about Banpo Village. The road to the east is connected to the commune station, and the village to the west is called Shitou Zhuang.

Shitou Zhuang is more than ten miles away from Banpo Village, and there is a long downhill slope of more than two miles.

Who will be responsible for clearing the snow over such a long distance?

Banpo Village or Shitou Village?

As for the commune station, it happens to be at a fork in the road. There are at least ten miles of roads around it that need to be cleaned up. If it is only done by people from one village, how long will it take to get it done?

"well……"

Knowing that her second son would not come back, Li Guilan felt a little bad.

"Mom, what are you sighing for?"

"It's just heavy snow that blocks the road. When the snow melts, if you miss me, why don't we just go to the county town and have a look?"

Although Song Juan understood her mother's desire to reunite her family, she couldn't comfort her in this way at this time. She had to change her perspective.

Otherwise, if my mother thinks of her eldest brother in Northern Xinjiang, it will be troublesome.

However, what Song Juan didn't know was that her eldest brother, who had been stationed in northern Xinjiang, really came back to visit relatives this year.

The telegram was sent, but unfortunately, the road was blocked by heavy snow. The telegram reached the commune post office and could not be delivered to Banpo Village.

As for making phone calls?

Unfortunately, the phone line was cut by a tree that fell under heavy snow.

In short, communication breaks down.

…

At this moment, on the train from Northern Xinjiang to Yanshi, Song Weiguo, his daughter-in-law Ma Xiaoling, and his eldest son Song Mingjun were imagining the happiness of family reunion.

However, Song Weiguo did not know that Yanshi was experiencing a heavy snowfall that had not been seen in more than ten years.

At the same time, Song Weimin, who was in the county seat, looked at the thick snow in his family's yard and felt very bad.

Originally, he could have returned to the village earlier, but he wanted to stand on the last guard duty, but just one day later, there was such a heavy snowfall.

"Dad, can't we go back to celebrate the New Year?"

Song Mingjian has a wrinkled face. He has been looking forward to returning to his hometown for the New Year. Although his aunt is very annoying, his grandparents are very good, and his brothers are also very good.
