Chapter 346 Snow Removal
The flowers that were planted on the mountain at that time for the purpose of raising bees have now grown into a sea of flowers.
Every time I look over when I enter the space, the view is very nice.
The view from a distance is a visual enjoyment, and when you get closer, the faint scent of flowers makes you feel relaxed.
After so much breeding, the bee colony has also expanded.
The entire beehive is getting bigger and bigger, and after the hard work of the little bees, the two have achieved honey freedom.
Of course, it is the occasional space water feeding by the two people that makes the bee colony more tolerant of these two humans who steal the fruits of their labor.
As for planting, the fields and vegetable gardens are thriving.
In the vegetable garden, Qin Lang planted a variety of vegetables, fruits and melons.
From time to time, the two of them would go to the vegetable garden and pick some disposable snacks like cucumbers and tomatoes.
As for the ginseng seeds and Panax notoginseng seeds planted in the medicinal field, the green leaves and branches are growing bigger and bigger, and it seems that they are growing well.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang were busy in the space every day, watching the space flourish.
When you leave the space again, you often feel a great sense of separation, and the outside can really be described as a world of ice and snow.
Today, it was Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang's turn to clear the snow.
The two men were dressed neatly. In addition to thick cotton-padded coats, they also wore warm fur hats, cotton scarves around their faces, cotton gloves, and a pair of fur boots on their feet. The main focus was on being tightly wrapped.
When she pushed open the door, a cold wind mixed with snow particles blew towards her, and Lu Qingqing subconsciously turned her head to avoid it.
Qin Lang followed behind her and couldn't help but let out a "sha" sound when the cold wind blew.
The hot air that came out of his mouth instantly turned into white mist, and then turned into water droplets, covering his scarf.
The temperature in this yard is very different from that in the house!
The entire yard, wherever you look, is covered with white snow.
Lu Qingqing didn't bother to stay and quickly left the house.
This job is here and we have to do it sooner or later.
Besides, the longer you stay outside, the more suffering you will suffer.
Now, we need to clean the snow off the roof first.
After Qin Lang closed the door, he followed her.
One of them held the ladder while the other climbed onto the roof and started cleaning.
The snow is not heavy at the moment, but the wind is strong.
A gust of wind mixed with snow particles blew over, which could easily blind you.
Lu Qingqing half-closed her eyes, picked the place on the roof that Qin Lang had already cleaned, and began to push the snow with a wooden board.
This wooden board not only saves effort than a broom when pushing snow, but also pushes the snow more cleanly.
Of course, this thing was not invented by her, but made by the old village chief.
People of this generation have never lacked this kind of life wisdom.
Lu Qingqing was pushing the snow with a wooden shovel. When she heard Qin Lang calling her, she hurried over to hold the ladder.
The two of them worked together to clean the roof of the yard.
With this intensity of activity, Lu Qingqing only broke out in a thin layer of sweat, but a layer of ice formed on the scarf on her face.
The entire scarf, wherever it was soaked by the breath, had frozen solid.
It feels especially uncomfortable when you put it on your face.
Lu Qingqing took some time to go back to the house and took out a few new scarves.
Whenever it gets wet, replace it with a new one.
If you ask why, I can only say that since I have the conditions, I naturally want to make my life more comfortable.
When we cleaned the stable, the horses inside made a puffing sound.
Before winter, they did some simple insulation and reinforcement on the stable.
And a few days ago, when we learned that there might be a cold wave, we quickly made the stables more insulated.
Now, the space inside is enclosed. Although the smell is a bit strong, it is warm at least.
By the time all the snow in the yard was cleared outside, the area around Lu Qingqing's eyes was frozen solid.
She came to the outside of the courtyard wall and quickly glanced around. There was nothing else except the white snow.
She asked Qin Lang to keep watch at the door while she quickly collected the snow piled up next to the courtyard wall into the space.
Worried that she would be discovered if she collected too much, she only collected the part they had just cleaned out.
In addition, she ran behind the courtyard wall and collected a large piece of snow on the ground into the space.
All these layers of snow are piled up behind the mountain in space, and there is still a large area there that is empty.
She plans to stock up more this winter, and then use it in the hottest summer. It will be so nice!
She quickly gathered some of the snow on the sides and then ran back to the yard.
After closing the yard door with Qin Lang, the two ran back into the house and gathered around the stove to warm themselves by the fire.
Take off your thick cotton gloves and gently rub the area around your eyes with the warmer palms of your hands.
It took a while before I felt recovered.
Throughout the day, the wind and snow outside continued to blow. They also paid attention to the thickness of the snow outside and went out to clean it every few hours.
During this time, pieces of snow were collected into the space, and the snow behind the mountain became more and more.
Lu Qingqing planned to keep it like this for now, and when there was no more space at the back of the mountain, she would compact the snow layer again.
In the following days, I switched back and forth between hibernating and shoveling snow.
It sounds leisurely, but the reality is worrying.
The temperature outside is dropping day by day!
There was no thermometer at this time, so Lu Qingqing didn't know exactly how low the temperature had dropped.
She heard the two women emptying the urine bucket joking that their men had to bring a stick when they went to the toilet to urinate.
The urine started to freeze before it even reached the ground.
After each use, I have to use a stick to break the frozen urine.
Lu Qingqing had no doubt about this at all. The temperature was so high that water could really turn into ice!
Because the two of them have to be on duty, they cannot stay in the space all the time.
Therefore, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang insulated the house.
In addition to the windows and doorways, the two men also fixed bedding on the walls and roof of the house.
Lu Qingqing also set up the camping tent she had made herself on the kang.
This tent can also help keep warm, and the two of them are indeed warmer hiding inside.
Now, when the two of them were on night duty in the house, they would first light the stove to a high temperature that would burn their buttocks on the kang.
Next, I put on a thick cotton jacket, got into the tent, and wrapped myself in a thick quilt.
In order to prevent herself from falling asleep, Lu Qingqing also made an improved version of playing cards that could be played by two people based on the leaf cards here.
This thing really works, and the two of them didn't feel sleepy at all while playing with it.
Ever since Qin Lang learned how to play mahjong, he has been addicted to it and would pester Lu Qingqing to play whenever he has free time.
For this, he lost all the little private money he had left!
Lu Qingqing weighed the copper coins, smiled and said nothing, just wanting to win money.
That morning, when Qin Lang wanted to open the door to empty the urine bucket, he found that the door could not be opened.
