Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 252 It’s Snowing

The water at home is used carefully every day. If we drink it in advance, there will be no water later, and the next day will be particularly difficult.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, only about twenty days now. I think this situation should be over soon.

After dinner, several people went to bed early and had a good night's sleep...

The next morning, Xu Han did not sleep in. It was about to rain, so she had to prepare the firewood early.

After Xu Han came out, she found that the sky had become even darker. Judging from the sky, it was definitely going to rain today.

As soon as Lu Chuan and his friends got up, they started chopping firewood in the yard. I don’t know if they had breakfast or not.

"Have you had breakfast?" Xu Han asked.

"It's ready. Grandpa Zhao has just made it. You should eat quickly while Mu'er is still asleep!" Lu Chuan said.

"Okay, I'll eat first and then go wake Mu'er up later." After saying that, Xu Han went to the kitchen to have breakfast.

Today's breakfast was fried eggs made by Grandpa Zhao, as well as white flour buns and side dishes, served with rice porridge, which was nutritious and delicious.

After Xu Han finished breakfast, he went to the room and saw Mu'er was still sleeping. He didn't plan to call him, but went straight out of the room and collected the firewood that had been processed in the yard and stacked it neatly in the room.

Xu Han was stacking firewood inside the house, while the Taoist priest and the other three were chopping wood outside, and they worked quite quickly together.

I had just been stacking firewood for a while when I heard Mu'er crying. She must have been a little scared because she didn't see Xu Han after waking up. After all, Mu'er normally wakes up earlier than Xu Han. This shows how much Xu Han likes to sleep in.

Xu Han put down the firewood in her hand and hurried to the room, "Mu'er, are you awake? Can mother help you put on clothes?"

When Mu'er saw Xu Han coming in, she blinked her big watery eyes, stopped crying immediately, and reached out for Xu Han to hug her.

Xu Han held Mu'er and coaxed her for a while, then she put clothes on Mu'er. It was getting colder today, so she had to wear thicker clothes.

After getting dressed, Xu Han took Mu'er to wash up and have breakfast.

After Mu'er finished breakfast, Xu Han took Mu'er to play while stacking firewood.

Today's lunch is the sweet potato leaf and beef noodles that the Taoist priest has been craving for.

After lunch, the sky became increasingly gloomy. Seeing that it was about to get dark, everyone hurriedly moved the remaining dry firewood into the woodshed. When the room could no longer hold it, Xu Han put it directly into the space.

Just as a few people here finished collecting the firewood, raindrops started falling over there.

"Hurry up and get a basin of water." Xu Han shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone started taking basins and buckets.

Put it under the eaves first to catch the water, and then you can take a comfortable bath.

As the sky grew darker, the raindrops became heavier.

Because it is still the first month of the year, although the sun is very bright and warm on sunny days, it is raining now and the temperature is getting lower and lower.

After it rained for a while, snowflakes slowly began to fall from the sky, and the rain turned directly into sleet.

"It's finally raining. Looking at the weather, I guess it won't stop for a while." Grandpa Zhao said happily.

"Yes, the land that has been dry for so long can finally get enough water." The Taoist priest also said.

"It's raining and snowing. Will it snow heavily soon?" Xu Han asked.

"Looking at the temperature, it's not impossible. After the sudden rain, it feels colder than this morning!" Lu Chuan said.

"Everyone should put on some more clothes first! Don't catch a cold and get sick later." Grandpa Zhao reminded.

"It's quite cold. I'll go get Mu'er some extra clothes." After saying that, Xu Han went into the house, took out a leather coat from the closet, and also took one for herself and Lu Chuan.

When I came out, the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao were no longer in the main room. They probably went to put on more clothes.

When it started raining outside, only raindrops were seen falling to the ground, and there was no accumulation of water. It can be seen that the earth was really dry to a certain extent.

There was no accumulation of water even though it rained so heavily, as all the water was absorbed by the earth.

As the rain lasted longer, it slowly turned into light snow, and by the evening the snow was getting heavier.

For a moment, it gives people a feeling of entering deep winter. It is already January, but because of the arrival of heavy snow, the temperature has suddenly turned into the coldest days of winter.

I haven't felt this cold in two or three years. It suddenly became so cold and I really can't adapt to it.

Especially Mu'er, whose little face was red from the cold, and she kept trying to get into Xu Han's arms.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan lit the charcoal in the house and went outside to light the kang.

This winter, because the weather was not cold, we didn't burn charcoal fires much, and the kang was never used once.

As the temperature in the room got higher and higher, Mu'er finally came out of Xu Han's arms and started running around the room again, regaining her former liveliness.

"Hahahahaha, this is Mu'er's first time experiencing such cold weather. Look at him, he's dressed like a ball and can't even walk." The Taoist priest said with a smile.

"Mu'er, you haven't seen snow yet. When the snow stops, Grandpa will take you to build a snowman, okay?"

The little guy didn't know what making a snowman was yet. He was concentrating on playing with his toys. He looked up at Grandpa Zhao but didn't respond.

"I don't know how long the snow will last. It's already January, so it shouldn't last long!" Lu Chuan said.

"Not necessarily. The snow won't last long at this time of year, but it's easy for it to be freezing rain or hail, which are more troublesome than snow!" said Grandpa Zhao.

"Yes, if it rains freezing rain, very thick ice will form on the ground. It is very difficult to melt and it is difficult to clean up. It is frozen solid and cannot be moved at all." Xu Han also said.

"In that case, it's better if it snows. At least the snow won't take long to melt, and freezing rain will definitely be very cold," said Lu Chuan.

Xu Han looked outside and said, "There's not much snow outside now, but it's getting dark. It looks like I won't be able to take a bath today."

"Then wash it tomorrow. It's dark now and your hair won't dry even if you take a shower. I'll shovel snow and boil water for you as soon as it gets light tomorrow, and you can take a shower when you get up." Lu Chuan said.

"Yes, don't wash it today. It's been dirty for so long anyway, and one night won't make a difference. It's not worth it to catch a cold." Grandpa Zhao also advised.

"Okay then! Let's take a shower tomorrow. The weather is so cold today, and there is snow outside that can be melted into water. What should we eat today?" Xu Han changed the subject.
