Chapter 498 Sudden cooling
But Huo Yisheng has been very busy recently, and there are many tasks that need to be completed before the mountain is closed due to heavy snow.
Later, heavy snow blocked the mountains. Unless there were special circumstances, the soldiers would rest and recuperate in the barracks and concentrate on training and exercises.
Ye Shu just sighed, saying that her life was busy now and she couldn't waste time.
Before it got completely dark, I immediately joined Sister Jin and the others to process wild vegetables and mushrooms.
Just like before, the female comrades in the family compound kept half of the wild vegetables, mushrooms, and chestnuts they picked up at home, and sent the other half to the kitchen staff.
This is all due to the invisible adherence to conventions.
The soldiers were busy planting and harvesting, guarding the camp, accompanying them up the mountain to protect their safety, and going out to complete tasks.
They are so busy and tired that they don’t have time to go up the mountain to get wild vegetables and fruits, so it’s their duty to help!
Between people, help and friendship are mutual.
If you only know how to take and not how to give, the relationship will never last!
The key point is that in the eyes of Mrs. Jin and her friends, the soldiers in the camp are like their own children.
At that moment, everyone was busy cleaning up when Mrs. Jin suddenly cried out "Ouch, Ouch!"
Ye Shu quickly supported her and asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Jin pressed her leg and said, "My leg hurts! Ouch! Ever since my leg was injured last time, whenever it hurts, it will definitely snow or rain the next day!"
"Tsk, it looks like it's not going to get better!"
Ye Shu: "You have this condition? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll treat you!"
She originally wanted to directly ask for acupuncture, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered Aunt Gu's warning and did not say it directly.
Although the wilderness camp is completely far away from the center of the storm outside, there are still many people here and many people are talking nonsense.
It’s not that I doubt any of them have ulterior motives, but what if they accidentally let something slip?
It would be bad if the speaker did not mean it but the listener took it seriously and brought trouble to himself!
Mrs. Jin sighed: "Well, I could bear it before. The pain only lasted for a day or two and then it was gone. Besides, everyone is busy. It's just a minor ailment of mine, so they don't have to bother them!"
Zhuang Jingjing looked at her: "You are in a lot of pain, right? Look at the cold sweat on your face!"
As she spoke, Zhuang Jingjing wiped her hands and handed her a clean handkerchief.
Everyone around saw him and said, "Oh, seriously, you're sweating a lot. You should take a rest!"
"You don't look good either!"
Everyone was working in Zheng Lan's yard at the moment. Zheng Lan quickly went into the house and made her a cup of brown sugar water: "Are you suffering from low blood sugar? Come on, drink this quickly to calm down."
Mrs. Jin was indeed feeling uncomfortable, so she didn't hesitate to thank him and took the drink.
Ye Shu looked at Sister Jin's condition, then looked up at the sky and suddenly said, "I'm afraid it's really going to rain or snow. Sister Jin's legs are a warning to us. Let's hurry up!"
Yang Huimin agreed: "I have heard from the elderly before that those who have injured their bones will be warned in advance when snow and wind hit."
Many people had heard this old saying and couldn't help but become serious at that moment.
There is no need to rush to pick the wild vegetables, mushrooms and chestnuts, the main thing is the vegetables in the field!
Once the snow starts falling in the wilderness, it’s no joke. Once the crops are frozen in the snow, they are difficult to dig, and they don’t taste good if they are frozen!
Zheng Lan immediately said, "I'll go find Lao Lin!"
The others did not delay and quickly quickened their actions.
A moment later, Zheng Lan returned, panting from running. "They're planning to harvest overnight! We're short on manpower, so why don't we just sit around? Let's go together!"
Zhuang Jingjing: "Okay! Let's eat! We can't work on an empty stomach!"
Zheng Lan: "Don't leave, let's eat here together!"
Anyway, the grain and vegetables are grown and harvested by everyone together, and are distributed equally. It doesn't matter if you eat more or less from his family. If it's not enough, you can just go to the kitchen to get more!
So everyone didn’t act pretentiously and started eating right away when they said they were going to eat together!
Because there were so many people, the pots and coal stoves at Zheng Lan's house were not enough, so the families living next door went back to get pots, coal stoves, and bowls and chopsticks.
I cooked two pots of multi-grain porridge. Because time was tight, I didn’t bother making the filling for the dumplings and directly steamed the multi-grain buns.
Another pot of pickled fish was stewed. The pickled cabbage was from the first batch and was just ready to eat. The fish was something Ye Shu had gotten earlier, pickled and then air-dried. Then some wild vegetables and mushrooms that were just dug up today were added to it. The aroma was so tempting.
Three or four people cooked dinner, and the rest of the people hurried to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms.
After dinner, the two pregnant female comrades stayed behind to help look after all the children, big and small, in the camp, while the rest of the people, including Ye Shu, went to the fields to harvest.
Although there are many children, it doesn't seem difficult.
Because children like Lin Xiaojie are already grown up, they can help look after and protect their younger siblings, and educate and teach them at critical times.
Besides, the children are familiar with this operation. As long as their mothers are busy, they have to eat from the same pot and everyone sleeps together!
That night, everyone was busy and worked all night long. It was not until noon the next day that they finally collected all the crops from the fields and put them into the camp cellar.
At this time, dark clouds covered the city.
They returned to the camp, but after resting for more than half an hour, it started to rain.
The rain is not heavy, but it is very cold. As soon as it rains, the temperature obviously drops by more than ten degrees.
I took a thermometer and checked it. Wow, the temperature dropped to minus 5 degrees Celsius.
The soldiers did not dare to rest any longer and immediately organized themselves to go up the mountain to chop firewood.
After all, they have to survive the winter for five months. Although they can get coal, it is hard to say whether they can continue to supply it after the mountains are blocked by heavy snow.
Furthermore, heating the kang requires firewood, and the amount is not small, so you must prepare more firewood.
The women could not hold on any longer, after all, they had not slept all night, so they hurried home, lit the kang, cleaned off the mud and dust on their bodies, got some simple food, and then lay down to sleep.
Ye Shu was much more frugal than others. He didn't need to cook food. He just took noodles, canned meat and apples from his space bag and filled his stomach.
By midnight, the temperature had dropped a few degrees and large flakes of snow began to fall.
There was a kang heated in the room, so the four of them, mother and children, didn't feel cold at all when they slept.
Ye Shu felt a chill in his half-asleep, half-awake state.
She suddenly woke up, only to find that it was Huo Yisheng who came back!
She was very surprised and sat up: "You are back!"
Huo Yisheng was taking off his coat. Seeing her sit up regardless of the cold, he immediately took off his coat and threw it away. Then he sat next to her and wrapped her in the quilt: "Don't get up, it's cold, be careful not to catch a cold!"
