Chapter 222 Sudden cooling
Li Qingxiu and Li Qingfeng were awakened by Li Qingxiao's crying. As soon as they opened their eyes, they realized something was wrong...
it's too cold! ! !
Why is it so cold all of a sudden?
Li Qingxiu quickly looked at Li Qingxiao next to her, and saw that Li Qingxiao's face was a little blue due to the cold, and her whole body was cold to the touch, probably because she was crying due to the cold.
Li Qingxiu immediately held Li Qingxiao in her arms and warmed her with his own body temperature.
She also took out two thick quilts that she had made before and covered Qingfeng Li from the storage compartment, and then stuffed Li Qingxiao into Qingfeng Li's arms.
Qingfeng Li shivered and held Li Qingxiao in his arms. When he saw Li Qingxiu getting out of bed, he asked, "Sister, where are you going? It's too cold, don't get out of bed."
Li Qingxiu put on a thick cotton-padded jacket for herself, and then took out Qingfeng Li's and Li Qingxiao's cotton-padded jackets and spread them on the kang.
She had been worried that winter would suddenly enter early, so Li Qingxiu had been making clothes in the past few nights. She made a set of thick cotton-padded jackets for each of the three siblings, which came in handy now.
Li Qingxiu took out the milk bottle, prepared milk and handed it to Li Qingfeng. "Let my sister drink something hot first. She's almost too cold. I'll go and heat the kang to warm her up."
Fortunately, Li Qingxiao's cry made her and Li Qingfeng wake up, otherwise the three siblings would definitely die of cold tonight.
As soon as Li Qingxiu left the house, she saw Widow Jia, Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang running over.
When they saw Li Qingxiu coming out wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, they knew that the three siblings were fine.
Before Li Qingxiu opened his mouth, Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang said they were going to tell everyone to get up quickly, just for fear of freezing to death.
But Widow Jia didn't leave. She ran shivering into the yard and came to Li Qingxiu, exclaiming: "Oh, my God! The sudden cooling in the middle of the night almost chilled me to death."
Li Qingxiu saw that Widow Jia was only wearing a thin singlet. "Auntie, it's so cold that you don't even know how to put on some clothes when you come out. Come in quickly, I'll burn the kang first and we'll warm you up quickly."
"You think I don't want to add more clothes? I haven't had time to put on thick clothes yet. Hey, what kind of house are you going into? I'll go with you to burn the kang. It can still keep warm."
After speaking, Widow Jia ran to the kang mouth and lit a fire. When Li Qingxiu saw this, she went to open the passage to the kang bed in the side room. She estimated that Widow Jia would stay here tonight.
Unexpectedly, Widow Jia had just warmed up her body and was about to leave.
Li Qingxiu asked doubtfully: "Auntie, do you want to go back?"
Widow Jia was stunned. She didn't understand why Li Qingxiu asked this.
"Of course I want to go back. When I came out, I lit a fire in the hut to keep warm. I was just worried that you three brothers and sisters would oversleep. It would be freezing to death if it was suddenly so cold today. Who would have thought that as soon as I ran over, I saw the Li brothers coming over too."
As soon as Widow Jia finished speaking, the sound of gongs and shouts rang out from the valley.
"Everyone is getting up and cooling down. Don't sleep anymore, get up quickly and burn firewood to keep warm."
Widow Jia turned to Li Qingxiu and said, "You should go back to the house quickly. I have to go. Remember to take care of yourself and don't get cold."
Seeing Widow Jia hugging herself and leaving, Li Qingxiu went to the donkey shed to see Da Mao. Maybe Da Mao was an animal with fur, so the cooling had no effect on it. At this time, Da Mao was sleeping standing up.
She went to see if a few chickens and two sheep were okay, and found that they were just huddled together and sleeping.
Li Qingxiu went back to the donkey shed and picked up a lot of weeds that Li Yuhao had beaten for Da Mao. He also threw some into the sheep pen and chicken coop to keep them warm.
Li Qingxiu returned to the house after finishing her work. She came to the kang bed and saw that Li Qingxiao, who was drinking milk at this time, had a rosier face and was no longer as pale as before. Li Qingxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
She touched the temperature on the kang and found that it was okay, not too hot. He took off his coat and lay down.
As soon as she lay down, Li Qingxiu couldn't help but stretch comfortably. So warm and comfortable!
After Qingfeng Li fed Li Qingxiao, he picked her up and put her on his shoulders. Qingfeng Li also gently patted Li Qingxiao's back to make her burp.
Qingfeng Li asked while patting: "Sister, why is it so cold all of a sudden? It's only September now, isn't it winter yet?"
"You ask me, who am I asking?"
Li Qingxiu felt comfortable and drowsy. She had been tired all day and the current temperature made her sleepy.
Qingfeng Li knew that Li Qingxiu must be very tired after a busy day today, so he didn't bother Li Qingxiu anymore. It wasn't until Li Qingxiao hiccupped that Qingfeng Li lay down again with his sister in his arms.
Not long after, the three siblings were snoring in the warm bed.
The others were not as comfortable as Li Qingxiu and his siblings, so they all ran to their cellars. Everyone's houses haven't been built yet, but the cellar has been dug early.
It was originally intended to be used to store food, but I didn't expect to let them live in it first. There is no way, the cellar is much warmer than above.
However, there was no sleeping place in the cellar. The men could only brave the cold and go out of the cellar to find some hay and spread it, then spread it with an oilcloth and cover it with a thin quilt before they could sleep.
The children were all shivering in the cold and hugging each other. At this time, they all hoped that their parents could hug them. It was really too cold.
Unfortunately, the family only has thin sheets and summer clothes for summer, and not even a piece of warm clothing.
Women have no intention of sleeping now. They leave everything to their men or the elderly to do. And they themselves are busy flying needles and threads. Busy making thick clothes for the whole family.
In fact, they all regretted not listening to Li Qingxiu and processing the skins of those wild animals so that they could be used for warmth.
Li Zheng took a few unmarried men to see the pig pen first. Seeing the three little piglets squealing and huddled together due to the cold, Li Zheng asked Li Lei and Li Aniu to carry the three piglets to the half-built hot spring pool to raise them.
Now that the cellars are full, people and animals are not allowed to live together, so Li Zheng planned to raise a few piglets in the hot spring pool first. Anyway, the three piglets must survive in good health without any problems.
As for the group of horses, Li Zheng was not worried. No matter how cold the weather is, the horse can adapt to it.
Fortunately, I listened to Li Qingxiu's words and dug ditches in the fields. With the warm hot spring water flowing through the fields, no matter how cold the weather was, the vegetables and crops in the fields would not freeze to death.
"Uncle, why did the weather suddenly get cold?" Li Lei asked exactly the same thing as Li Qingfeng.
Li was staring at the dark night sky, and then sighed for a long time and said, "God never stops."
He suddenly thought of Li Qingxiu and asked, "Have you informed Qingxiu girl?"
"Of course. Brother Da Zhuang said just now that the pretty girl is up and wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket. It seems like it's not a big deal." Li Lei replied.
After hearing this, Li Zheng felt relieved and let them go back to rest.
But what they didn't know was that as dawn approached, heavy snow began to fall in the sky, and the whole world fell into a vast whiteness.
