Chapter 186: Extreme Cold Doomsday: Snow Scene
Chapter 186: Extreme Cold Doomsday: Snow Scene
Early in the morning, Jiang Jiang opened the door and was soaked by the snow that had accumulated all night.
Jiang Jiang was well prepared and fully armed, wearing a hat, scarf and gloves.
She brushed the snow off her body, walked out of the house, and her feet sank directly into the snow.
The snow that had accumulated overnight had already reached Jiang Jiang's ankles, and it looked like the snow wasn't going to stop falling.
Jiang Jiang was studying outside. There was a small piece of vacant land next to him where no vegetables were planted. At this moment, it was pure white and the color of the soil could not be seen at all.
"Jiang Jiang, are you going out? It's a bit cold today, wear more clothes."
Aunt Shufen, who had just gone to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables, happened to run into Jiang Jiang who had just gone out and gave him a kind reminder.
Jiang Jiang looked down at herself, wrapped up like a bear. Wasn't she wearing enough clothes?
"Good morning, auntie, have you eaten yet?"
Jiang Jiang couldn't find any topic to talk about, so he just asked a simple greeting.
"I've eaten. There's some porridge warming up on the stove at home. If you want some, I'll bring it to you."
Seeing that Wang Shufen was about to bring her breakfast, Jiang Jiang hurriedly said:
"Aunt, I've already eaten. I just wanted to go out and play since it's snowing so heavily."
"I knew you young people would like it. Zhang Yang is the same. He went out to play in the snow with Xu Dazhuang and the others early in the morning. I just saw them having a snowball fight in front. You'd better be careful when you go over there."
He peered at the door frame, his eyes full of longing.
"Grandma, Zhang Yang is going to have a snowball fight, why can't I go?"
Wang Shufen glared at him.
"Zhang Kai! Come here! Take care of your son! He wants to have a snowball fight!"
A man with a crew cut rushed over upon hearing the noise, and shuddered with fear when he saw what was happening.
"Hey, grandma, I'm not going. Snowball fights are not fun at all!"
He usually dared to provoke Zhang Yang but never dared to confront his father, because although he was young, he knew that his father would never show mercy when he took action.
Stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat is enough for one meal, you can't eat it every day.
"Brother Kai, long time no see."
Jiang Jiang greeted Zhang Kai with a smile, and the latter smiled at her.
Zhang Kai and his wife work in other places. They did not come back for the Spring Festival last year. It was only this time when they heard that the village was distributing money that they were willing to take a few days off and rush back together.
Zhang Wang usually lives with his grandparents. It is said that grandparents are close to each other. He is the little bully in the family. Zhang Kai is afraid that his son will develop a fearless character, so he can only educate him strictly when he comes back occasionally. This makes Zhang Wang a little afraid of his father.
"Come here, Xiaowang, sister has your favorite chocolate here."
Jiang Jiang took out a small piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Wang. The latter looked at his grandmother on the left and his father on the right and did not dare to take it.
"Thank you, Sister Jiang Jiang."
It was Wang Shufen who spoke up before Zhang Wang carefully took the chocolate and grinned at her.
"Xiao Wang, don't take it personally. We don't allow you to play snowballs because you are still a child. Children are more likely to get sick when playing snowballs, and it will be very uncomfortable. Look at how big Zhang Yang is, so he must be in good health. Eat more, and when you grow taller than Zhang Yang, you can play snowballs."
Zhang Wang tried hard to understand Jiang Jiang's words like a little adult.
After a while, he suddenly spoke:
"Sister Jiang Jiang, it's great to be an adult. I must eat more and grow up quickly."
Jiang Jiang was touched by his serious look and couldn't help but touch his little head.
"Yeah, I believe that little Zhang Wang will grow up quickly!"
Zhang Wang seemed to be encouraged. He went back to the house obediently with his chest puffed out, and did not mention the snowball fight.
Wang Shufen smiled helplessly.
"This boy."
After saying goodbye to Aunt Shufen and her family, Jiang Jiang strolled around the village.
Despite the heavy snow, everyone was very happy.
Some were playing snowball fights, sweeping snow, taking photos, and some were riding motorcycles around the village.
"Xiao Wei, look! It's snowing heavily in our village. How beautiful!"
Qian Hao parked his motorcycle aside and was video chatting with someone unknown. While talking, he flipped the screen and used the rear camera of his mobile phone to show the snow scene in the village to the girl opposite.
Wang Yiran and several children were playing snowball fights nearby. Suddenly, a lump of snow flew straight towards Qian Hao, leaving a white mark on his carefully selected clothes. He reached out and patted his clothes to shake off the snow.
The child who was "accidentally injured" widened his eyes, stood up straight, and prepared himself to be scolded, but seeing that Qian Hao was still immersed in the phone call and had no time to bother him, he quietly moved away.
"Don't run! Look at my super invincible snowball!"
"Hahahaha! Lululu, you can't hit me!"
The children were busy playing in the snow, running around with their faces red, while the adults were busy clearing the snow that had accumulated on their roofs overnight.
Zhang Heng's house is close to Grandma Wang's, so before going to work, he carried a ladder to lightly sweep the fallen snow off the roof of her house.
When Jiang Jiang arrived at Grandma Wang's house, he saw that her roof was covered with a small layer of fine snow.
It was snowing heavily, but Grandma Wang, who usually loved to go out for a walk, did not go out because the roads were slippery and it was easy to bump and fall.
"Jiang Jiang is here! It's cold outside, come and warm your hands."
Grandma Wang called Jiang Jiang to come over and warm her hands by her small stove.
Jiang Jiang walked over, and the snowflakes that were originally attached to her coat suddenly melted due to the rising temperature and dripped onto the ground along the corners of her coat.
"Grandma Wang, the temperature has dropped in the past two days. Are you feeling cold?"
Jiang Jiang took off his gloves and asked while moving his fingers.
Wang Chunping smiled, and the wrinkles on her face were squeezed together.
"My grandma always heats the kang before she goes to bed at night. When it's cold, I'll burn two more pieces of charcoal to keep her warm."
That's good.
In the original owner's memory, on the first night of the heavy snow, Grandma Wang fell ill due to catching a cold. It was said that she was very ill. Later, the mountain was blocked by heavy snow and the signal was cut off. The original owner didn't know what the situation was like for everyone in Qingshan Village.
Grandma Wang was a little bored at home alone, so she was very happy when Jiang Jiang came over and talked to her about many interesting things from her childhood.
At noon, Jiang Jiang wanted to go home for lunch, so she forced Jiang Jiang to stay for lunch.
"Do you think the food at grandma's house is not tasty?"
Jiang Jiang had no choice but to give in and agree to stay.
Grandma Wang smiled and went to the cupboard to find a bunch of snacks and placed them all in front of Jiang Jiang.
"These are your favorite foods when you were a child. Eat more."
Jiang Jiang saw Grandma Wang trembling as she prepared to go to the kitchen to make something to eat, and immediately reached out to stop her.
"Grandma, I got up late this morning and I'm not very hungry. Let's just use the stove to cook some noodles."
Without waiting for Grandma Wang to reply, she skillfully found a small pot from the kitchen, added some water, and placed it on the stove.
After just a short while in the kitchen, Jiang Jiang felt her fingers were frozen and stiff. How could she let Grandma Wang go to the kitchen to cook for her?
"Grandma, are you used to the new dentures made by the hospital?"
Wang Chunping was slurping the noodles.
"It works great. Now I can eat a lot more."
After she lost her teeth, she became very greedy and couldn't eat anything. Now, with dentures, she enjoys eating everything.
At night, the snow fell heavier and heavier. Some branches could no longer withstand the weight of the snow and were broken with a creaking sound.
"Boom~"
The sound of something heavy collapsing woke up the nearby villagers.
