Chapter 192 The Extremely Cold Doomsday: Daily Life
Okay, okay, they are all old acquaintances, and she won’t feel bad when she gets the chance to take advantage of them later.
Although the mission had been accomplished, Jiang Jiang had no intention of letting Wang Peipei off so easily.
If Qin Churan was the malicious leader who bullied his roommates, then the one who personally took action and assisted the bully was Wang Peipei.
There is a saying that the traitors are the most cruel.
This sentence is very applicable to the original owner's living environment.
Compared to Qin Churan, Wang Peipei, who deliberately wanted to draw a line between herself and the original owner and make her attitude clear, was the most ruthless.
But Jiang Jiang looked at the empty space and decided to let the bullet fly for a while.
She stretched and sat on the warm kang, feeling a little sleepy.
These days, the more I sleep, the more sleepy I feel.
Jiang Jiang pinched the flesh on his cheeks and felt that he seemed to have gained two pounds.
This is a good thing. By gaining weight, you can become more resistant to the cold.
After breakfast, Jiang Jiang, who was feeling warm all over, changed into close-fitting warm clothes, put on a thick military coat on the outside, and went to the yard to sweep the snow with a broom and a ladder.
After a night of precipitation, there was a thick layer of snow on the roof again.
Jiang Jiang's house is a small bungalow, more than two meters high. It is quite easy for her to walk up the stairs and sweep the snow with a broom.
After working for more than ten minutes, the snow on the roof was swept away, revealing the color of the tiles.
After moving around for a while, Jiang Jiang still felt a little hot. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and wrapped her clothes tighter.
After sweeping the snow on the roof, Jiang Jiang started sweeping the snow in the yard.
"Shua~shua~"
The large bamboo broom hit the ground, making a sound.
Jiang Jiang swept all the snow in the yard into a corner and piled it up.
Jiang Jiang put the broom aside and felt itchy while wearing a pair of gloves.
It would be a shame not to make a snowman with this pile of snow.
Jiang Jiang started to make snowballs right away, one big ball and one small ball.
After working for a while, a large snowman doll is almost taken shape.
Jiang Jiang nodded his chin, feeling that something was still missing.
She went back into the house, found a leftover corn cob, two large buttons and a scarf that the original owner had worn as a child.
A snowman doll with a yellow nose, button eyes and a dark scarf was born.
Jiang Jiang looked at his work with satisfaction and took several photos with his mobile phone as a souvenir.
At the rate it snows, this snowman doll will be buried under the snow again in less than two days.
Time flies and it's noon.
In this cold weather, it is best to stay at home and enjoy hot pot, especially mutton hot pot.
Jiang Jiang took out several large bags of fresh mutton from the space and cut it into slices himself with a meat slicer. This is called homemade fat lamb rolls.
As a contemporary young person who never treats himself badly, Jiang Jiang always adds a few sausages and two fried eggs to his instant noodles, not to mention the mutton soup pot.
Start with two pounds of mutton. Whether you can finish it or not is another matter, it won’t go bad anyway. Also have some fatty beef, a platter of your favorite mushrooms, and the juicy green vegetables that you can’t miss in winter.
Jiang Jiang even prepared two kinds of dipping sauces, one with green pepper and one with spicy flavor.
The mutton soup pot was bubbling and emitting white hot steam. Jiang Jiang felt hotter and hotter as he ate. He took off his coat and hung it on the hanger beside him.
There was a stove in the room and charcoal burning under the kang, so it was very warm.
During this period, the charcoal used by the entire village was provided by the village charcoal factory.
Because the project was completed early, before the university arrived, we had already saved up dozens of tons of charcoal and stored it in the basement.
The charcoal used by the villagers was distributed by Jiang Jiang as welfare benefits.
At first, the branch secretary and his men refused to take it for free, saying that it was the factory's property and it would be bad for them to eat it and take it at the same time.
In other words, Jiang Jiang explained that the factory distributing benefits and taking them themselves were not the same thing, and they stopped.
You know, Jiang Jiang’s original intention of building a charcoal factory was not to sell charcoal, but to prepare supplies for this extreme cold.
But the villagers didn't know. They just thought that it happened to be a snowy day and they couldn't use the charcoal in the factory for nothing, as it had to be sold for money.
It's like a charcoal seller who only wears a thin layer of clothes but hopes the weather will get colder so that he can sell his charcoal more easily.
Even if they used charcoal, they mostly lived frugally, just like in China many years ago, a family living in the city would sleep in one bedroom in the hot summer and only turn on one air conditioner.
After every household built a kang, everyone fell in love with this good thing. In order to save charcoal, many people chose to sleep together as a family, which was both warm and saved charcoal.
The signal in their village has been intermittent since yesterday, and there is no signal at all today.
Originally, the village committee promised to send someone to check the road conditions in the next two days, but now it seems that this matter will be postponed again and again.
However, within the past two days, everyone in the village who had radios or televisions knew that this severe snowstorm was nationwide, and even the southern province, which has a tropical climate, had a rare heavy snowfall.
You know, the southern province has spring-like weather all year round, and it is a holy place for many northerners to escape the cold in winter.
In southern province, even a sweater can’t be sold, let alone a down jacket.
This drop in temperature really caught them off guard.
Several people in the village who had been clamoring to go back to the city to work also calmed down. They finally realized that it was fortunate that they had returned to the village before the snowstorm came.
At least there is food and drink, and charcoal to burn, so I won’t be cold and won’t starve to death.
If it were in the city, it would be hard to say.
There are even some superstitious older people who would dig out a few incense sticks from some corner and place two apples to comfort their ancestors.
“It’s really the blessing of our ancestors!”
If the weather wasn't so bad, there would probably be quite a few people going up the mountain to sweep the graves and burn paper for their ancestors.
You have food in your hands, don't panic.
There are still a lot of rice and flour donated by "kind-hearted people" in the cellars of each household, not to mention how normal it is for farmers to have some stored grain. If they eat sparingly, every household can survive for a year or two without any problem.
Not to mention, in everyone's opinion, no matter how serious the snowstorm is, it is impossible to last for one or two years.
Jiang Jiang remembered that when he went out to sweep the snow in the morning, the thermometer at the door showed minus eight degrees Celsius, and the temperature might be even lower at night.
Moreover, she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that today's cold wind was particularly sharp, just like a knife cutting her body.
Jiang Jiang decided not to go out unless necessary.
In the evening, Zhang Yang, who had just finished work at the charcoal factory, walked in the snow, taking one deep step and one shallow step back home.
Because no villagers went up the mountain during this period, let alone found enough agricultural and forestry waste, the factory was seriously short of raw materials. According to estimates, the factory's raw materials were only enough to support two more days.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang felt a little annoyed and couldn't help but curse the horrible weather.
Zhang Yang's felt hat was covered with white snowflakes. He stopped at Jiang Jiang's house and knocked a few times.
