Chapter 127 Heavy Snowfall, Sign of a Disaster

Li Jiayi came to school frozen like a grandson and followed his eldest sister straight in.

He had originally planned to sell watermelon juice until the end of the month, but who could have thought it would get cold so early.

So he stopped selling it a few days ago. There was nothing he could do. Even if he wanted to sell it, few people would buy it.

Who would drink watermelon juice in such a cold day? Isn’t boiled water delicious?
Li Jiayi arrived at the classroom soon. As soon as he entered the classroom, he saw the little black fat boy. However, his appearance made him unable to hold back and burst out laughing.

"Hey Fatty, what's this look like?" Li Jiayi asked, trying hard to hold back his laughter.

"What's the matter?" the little black fat man asked, looking at himself.

The melon-shaped hat had two ears, the cotton-padded jacket with a big peony flower, and the cotton-padded pants were pretty normal.

But it is precisely because these cotton pants are too normal that people feel funny.

"I said you just wear it, can you wear the same thing? When you walk on the street, people can still mistake you for a little fat girl."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the little black fat man immediately understood what was going on and said helplessly: "There is no way. The weather has suddenly turned cold. I have unpacked last year's cotton-padded jacket and haven't finished it yet. I can only wear my mother's."

"All right!"

After a while, the bell rang and the teacher walked in.

Everyone is wearing thicker clothes today, even the teacher.

"stand up."

"Hello teacher."

"Hello, students. Please take a seat."

After everyone sat down, the teacher began the lecture, but unfortunately few people listened carefully.

There is no way, it is too cold! Everyone is freezing and huddled together, who would still have the heart to listen to the class!
Even Li Jiayi, who has much better physical fitness than ordinary people, is like this, let alone other people.

"Snowing."

The teacher was giving a lecture when someone shouted and everyone looked out the window.

It really snowed, but not heavily, but snow is snow.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Li Jiayi suddenly felt not so cold anymore, at least not as cold as before.

"Students, be quiet." The teacher shouted at the noise in the classroom.

Soon the students quieted down and the teacher continued teaching, but unfortunately the students' hearts were not in the class.

You have to remember that it’s only the end of October! In previous years, the earliest snowfall was in November, and it was in mid-to-late November.

After a long morning, by noon, the ground was already covered with white.

Although the snow was not heavy, it was still falling! And it had been falling all morning.

"Li Jiayi, let's go quickly, otherwise the food will get cold." The little black fat man said with experience.

But he was right. It was cold now, and the meals in the school cafeteria were all cooked at the same time.

It will definitely be steaming hot at first, but it won’t take long for the food to get cold.

"Well! Let's go!"

The two people hurried to the cafeteria, but unfortunately they were still a little late. There was nothing they could do because what they could think of, others could also think of.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't arrive particularly late.

After queuing up to get food, it was still cold when it came back. This made Li Jiayi speechless as he had to eat cold food in such weather.

Just then, the eldest sister came over after getting her meal, and the three of us sat down and started eating. They even ate cold rice!
The child got hungry quickly, so he finished his meal in no time, said hello to his elder sister, and then they returned to the classroom.

"Li Jiayi, are you going to school tomorrow?" the little black fat boy asked as soon as he sat down.

"I don't know." Li Jiayi shook his head.

According to past practice, if the snow doesn't stop in the afternoon, school will probably be closed tomorrow.

Sure enough, when school was over in the afternoon, the teacher put down the textbook and said, "It snowed heavily today. If it continues to snow at night, you don't have to come to school tomorrow. But even if you stay at home, you must study hard."

"is teacher."

"Okay, school's over."

In fact, what the teacher said was unnecessary. Not to mention that it is still raining, given the current situation, there will be no way to have class tomorrow.

Look at the snow outside, it’s up to the knees. In this situation, there is no way I can come to class.

Now it’s not like the later times. The snow may be gone in a day or two. Maybe it’s because the weather is colder!
Basically, the snow that falls now will not melt completely after the Chinese New Year. Don’t forget that this is not the only snow that falls.

In this day and age, it is very normal to snow. Sometimes it snows every few days. It can be said that as long as winter comes, you can see snow throughout the entire winter.

"Li Jiayi, if school is on holiday, let's go out and play!" said the little black fat boy while packing his schoolbag.

"Sure, but I don't know how many days it will be kept."

Li Jiayi was not sure how many days the snow would last. If it ended today, he might have to return to school in two or three days.

"Never mind a few days. The school will notify you when the time comes."

"Ok!"

After packing their schoolbags, the two came out of the classroom.

When he arrived at the gate, his elder sister was already waiting for him.

"Little brother, what did your teacher say?" asked the elder sister.

"The teacher said that if it continues to rain at night, we don't have to come tomorrow. What about you?"

"Same."

"All right!"

Because the snow was quite deep, walking was still very difficult, of course, this was for others.

Li Jiayi didn't have this feeling. In order to take care of his elder sister, the two of them got home very late.

In fact, it was not just the two of them, but everyone was the same, their parents had not come back yet. Only the second sister, who lived closer to home, came back first.

He and his eldest sister were the ones who returned relatively early, and many people are on their way back now.

Li Jiayi put down his schoolbag and said, "Sister, I'm going to pick up my parents."

"Little brother, you'd better not go. If you take the wrong road, it will be troublesome."

After hearing what his elder sister said, Li Jiayi thought about it and realized it was true.

Although my dad’s legs have some inconvenience, it’s not a big problem now. Besides, it’s not like my parents didn’t come back.

"Okay then, I'll light the fireplace so we can warm up when Mom and Dad get home."

"Ok!"

With the help of his elder sister, Li Jiayi quickly lit the fireplace, and in a short while, the whole living room became warm.

The living room is only more than 20 square meters, and a fireplace is enough for heating. It would even be no problem if the area were twice as large.

Looking at the snow in the yard, Li Jiayi thought of a song from later generations.

The first snow of 2002.

I don’t know if this counts as the first snow of 1958.

But it did come earlier than before! And much earlier.

After lighting the fireplace, Li Jiayi took out the cotton curtain, but unfortunately the door was too high and he couldn't nail it shut.

We can only wait until Dad comes back to talk about this.

In the imperial capital, when the weather gets cold, almost every household will nail door curtains on their doors.

However, the ones used by most families are filled with straw inside and torn sacks or worn plastic sheets outside.

Li Jiayi's family used the same kind before, but not this year. This year they used old cloth with old cotton inside.

"Jia Lin, let's go and cook." The eldest sister said at this time.

"Oh!"

Mom and Dad haven't come back yet, and my eldest sister can't wait for Mom to come back before cooking.

After the eldest and second sisters went to the kitchen, Li Jiayi hurried to the room where he used to live and moved the three stoves in it into the main room.

This is a cast iron stove! It's a heavy one, and it's quite large, weighing over 100 pounds.

The main reason is that this stove does not burn honeycomb coal, but burns coal directly, so it is so big.

It weighs about 100 pounds. For other children of his age, it would be impossible to move it, but for Li Jiayi, it is just a little too heavy.

Move one to my parents' room first. Since the chimney has been prepared in advance, I just need to install it, which is not that troublesome.

Then came the rooms of his eldest and second sisters, and finally his own room. Although he basically didn't use it, he still had to have it.

Li Jiayi had just finished his work when his parents came back.

As soon as he entered the house, Li Aimin took a long breath and said, "It's so warm!"

It's not really warm. The temperature in their living room is at least 25 or 26 degrees.

This is because Li Jiayi didn’t add so much firewood, otherwise it would probably be even hotter.

Didn’t you see that Li Jiayi was wearing only an autumn shirt in the house?

"Mom and Dad, you're back? Come sit down and take a rest."

It’s easy to imagine how tiring it is to wade back through the snow.

"Son, did you do this?" Li Aimin asked, pointing at the stove in the east room.

When Li Jiayi came out just now, he forgot to close the door of the east room and was seen by Li Aimin at a glance.

"Yeah! What's the matter?"

"You kid, do you know how heavy this thing is?"

Li Aimin was very clear about the weight of the stove, because he was the one who moved it to the east wing.

As for whether Li Jiayi knew how heavy it was, that goes without saying. Don't forget that he was the one who asked someone to make this stove.

"I know!"

"Okay, Dad, warm yourself up first, then nail the cotton curtains up, so the room will be warmer."

After the cotton curtains are nailed in place, the heat in the room will not easily escape, so it will of course be warmer.

"Okay, I'll nail it right away."

"Mom, have some water." Li Jiayi brought over an enamel pot of hot water and handed it to her.

"Thank you son."

"By the way, Mom, have our bicycles been parked at the factory?"

"Yeah! It's impossible to ride in such heavy snow! It's even more troublesome to push it back."

"That's true." Li Jia nodded.

"Son, are you going to school tomorrow?" Mom took a sip of hot water, put down the enamel pot and asked.

"I think I won't go. It depends on the situation."

At this time, Liao Kai was heard asking outside: "Brother Li, is your stove lit?"

"I don't know! I just got back and I'm nailing the door curtain."

Li Jiayi quickly put on his cotton jacket, opened the door and said, "Uncle Liao, my family hasn't lit the stove yet. If you want to light the stove with fire, I'll get you some fire. It's no problem to light the stove."

You know, the fireplace is burning brightly now, and there are a lot of red firewood in it, which is definitely suitable for making a fire.

Looking up at the sky above the yard, there was thick smoke everywhere. Needless to say, it was all because of the stove being lit.
