Chapter 219 Extreme Cold

"Village Chief, Village Chief, how is your family?"

In Baisui Village, one of the coldest areas in Qingguo, a sturdy young man braved the snow and came out to take a look. There were five or six families in the village who did not have strong laborers. After visiting the village chief's house, Uncle Xiong's family was the only one left.

With a creak, the village chief stuck his head out of the door and said, "Da Zhuang, come in quickly."

"No, as long as your family is fine, I'll go see Uncle Xiong again." Da Zhuang slipped on his feet and left.

The village chief's wife asked: "Who is it?"

"Dazhuang, come and see us." The village chief closed the door tightly. It was too cold outside, but fortunately the fire was burning brightly.

"This boy is so sincere. The snow is already very thick, how did he come out?" The village chief's wife likes this young man very much, but it is a pity that her daughter is already married.

"Hmm, I saw that he was wearing the kind of shoes that the imperial court asked everyone to make some time ago. He walked very smoothly and didn't get stuck in the snow." The village chief was really grateful to the imperial court for even thinking of these things for the people.

"That's fine, that's fine."

But no, Da Zhuang felt like he was flying, skating fast and well.

All he could see was the strange-shaped long piece of wood tied to his feet. The court said it was called a snowboard, and it was specially used for walking on the snow.

Ruyi also suddenly remembered this. There is no need to hide in the house all the time when it snows. You have to go out if something happens.

This snowshoe prevents your feet from sinking completely into the snow by spreading your body's weight over a larger area.There is also a kind of shoe called bear paw, which is made of leather or branches with a round tennis racket-like surface and is put on the feet to make it easier to walk on the snow faster.

These were promoted by the Ministry of Industry to all parts of Qingguo at the beginning of the year.

Although Da Zhuang rowed fast, he didn't feel cold in the heavy snow. On the one hand, the young man was very angry. On the other hand, although Da Zhuang's mother did not stop her son from visiting some old people, she made him wear thick clothes. of.

Wearing a down vest inside, there is a cotton-padded jacket in the middle, which is stuffed with enough cotton. There is also a fur jacket on the outside. The fur is issued by the imperial court. It is said that it is found in the northernmost and coldest provinces.

"Uncle Xiong, Uncle Xiong, are you home?" Da Zhuang shouted again when he reached the gate of Uncle Xiong's courtyard.

After knocking for a long time, no one answered. Da Zhuang was a little worried. He banged on the door panel, but the courtyard door was not locked.Da Zhuang was a little worried. He entered the yard and was about to continue shouting.

"Who is it? Who is looking for me?" Unexpectedly, the door opened a crack.

"Here's Da Zhuang. Uncle Xiong, how are you at home?" Da Zhuang took off the snowboard from his feet, placed it against the door, and slipped in through the crack of the door.

"How are you? What's the matter with Da Zhuang coming over?" Uncle Xiong asked in confusion as he saw the young man coming out in such a cold weather.

"It's nothing, it's just that it's been snowing for more than ten days. I came to see you." Da Zhuang laughed innocently.

"I'm fine, I was just tending to the green vegetables beside my kang. Come on, come on, come and have a look." Uncle Xiong happily took this young man to look at the vegetables he grew.

"You take care of things better than mine. My mother is not very good at growing vegetables." Da Zhuang gave a thumbs up.

Uncle Xiong was happy when he heard this. He pulled out a few of the biggest ones and stuffed them into Da Zhuang's arms: "Take them back and fry them for a meal."

Da Zhuang accepted it with a smile. He was the only one in Uncle Xiong's family. Looking at this green vegetable, he probably couldn't finish it.

"Then if you need anything, just shout. Your home is close to mine, so I should be able to hear you." Da Zhuang was a little worried about Uncle Xiong.

"Okay, okay, look at my concrete fire pit, look at the firewood piled high over there, only a little has been used, and come and look at my food, life is going well." Uncle Xiong While talking, he dragged people around.

"That's good." Da Zhuang also noticed that Uncle Xiong was enjoying his life.

"Don't run out. It's very cold outside. Look at those candies. I can make some sugar water if I'm fine. It's so sweet." Uncle Xiong also knew Da Zhuang's good intentions, but he was afraid that the young man would be unsafe in the snow. .

"Okay, then I'll leave and go home." Da Zhuang didn't waste any more time, put on the snowboard again, helped Uncle Xiong close the courtyard door, and left.

After slipping away like this, every family was living well. Da Zhuang thought to himself that the court was really powerful.

When Da Zhuang was sliding back, there were little kids who saw him through the window and clamored to come out to play.Da Zhuang slid far away and heard the sound of adults beating children.

Phew~ Da Zhuang slides really well. No wonder the children are envious of it. It really looks like a toy. It won’t be so cold in the future. It may become a new activity for the children in the village.

"Mom, I'm back. Everything in the village is fine. Uncle Xiong even asked me to bring vegetables back." After Da Zhuang got home, he couldn't wait to share it with his family.

This kind of plot happens not only in Baisui Village, but also in many places.
