Chapter 152: Chapter 145 Snow Disaster

"Really, why would I lie to you?"

Ye Jiansheng replied.

Everyone felt a sense of relief.

First it was Song Moting, then Jiang Xiaoxiao.

They were really afraid someone else would have an accident.

"Okay, okay. I believe you. So what’s the situation outside now? Did I take a nap and the world changed dramatically?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t make sense of it either.

"Xiao Xiao, the porridge is here, hurry up and eat first. You’ve had us worried sick because you haven’t eaten for three days and nights. We’ve been taking turns watching over you for three days and nights. But you just wouldn’t wake up. If it weren’t for Song Moting’s check-up saying that your breathing was steady, your pulse was normal, and there was nothing abnormal, just that you were simply asleep.

We were worried sick."

Holding the hot porridge, Jiang Xiaoxiao finally felt truly hungry.

"Sorry, I didn’t know I would sleep for so long."

It was clear she had thoroughly scared everyone.

"Stop talking. As long as you could wake up, we’re all just happy. You just don’t know how frightening it is outside now. You’ve slept for three days and nights, and the snow has been falling for three days and nights without stopping. The director came by and told us this might be the worst snow disaster this year.

The road up and down the mountain is completely impassable now. If this continues, we’ll all be trapped here in this icy snowy mountain. We’re shoveling snow every day, afraid the house might collapse.

Nobody knows when this snow will stop. The director said that historically, the worst case was more than half a month of continuous heavy snow. That year, it wasn’t just one snowstorm, but around 20 snowfalls, burying the entire mountain in snow.

Back then, there wasn’t a forest farm, but still, many villagers down the mountain died from the snow disaster, many frozen or starved."

Gu Dali recounted the situation outside.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced out the window; the snow in the yard had been cleared, but outside it was still a vast expanse of white, and snowflakes were still raging.

She couldn’t hide her shock.

How could this be?

In her previous life, there had been a snow disaster, but she seemed unaffected and didn’t remember such a disaster, oh right!

In her previous life, she was with the production team, just assigned to a small group and hadn’t yet reached the forest farm. Life with the production team was tough, but it was much better than up the mountain.

The snow was heavy, but as long as they didn’t go out, it wasn’t a big deal.

The most they did was shovel snow, and there really wasn’t enough food.

Because the roads were impassable.

Later, there was hardly any food left.

That’s also why Jiang Xiaoxiao developed a stomach illness that took many years to recover from.

Yes, many people died that year, and Jia Shu was bullied by that damn scoundrel just to save some food for her.

That’s how she ended up with a frozen leg.

She remembered those bad things, yet forgot this snow disaster.

Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed.

Song Moting, however, sensitively noticed the change in Jiang Xiaoxiao’s mood.

"Don’t worry. Our food reserves are okay; if we eat sparingly, we can hold out until next year. The director also said that after the new year, the snow will lessen. So it’s just over a month. We male volunteers have already discussed with the forest farm workers that once the snow eases, we’ll quickly go and cut some more trees.

As long as we ensure sufficient fuel, we’ll be okay. The forest farm workers have been working here for many years. They know better than us how to handle this snow disaster."

This was consoling; what the director said when discussing this issue wasn’t quite like this.

Even the director said this was an extraordinarily rare snowfall in a century; not only has it sealed the mountains and blocked the roads, but timber harvesting now is life-threatening.

The snow is waist-deep, and if someone accidentally falls into a snow pit, they might be lost forever.

In addition, the director warned them not to go up the mountain until the snow melts.

Otherwise, it really could be dangerous.

And he instructed them to save firewood.

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s eyes were clear and determined; she understood the significance of this snowstorm better than anyone.

"Stop fooling me, with such heavy snow, how could we possibly go up the mountain to cut firewood? I think we should hold a meeting to discuss how to manage our days ahead. This firewood needs to last until next year; even though we prepared it a year in advance, we didn’t expect the snow would be so severe.

There are certainly shortages. Now the best plan is for everyone to merge households. Reducing the consumption of each house, only then can the firewood last until spring. And grain, too; we need to manage the food supplies properly.

I estimate that with the snow sealing the mountain, even if the farms down below want to help us, they probably can’t send supplies up. We’ll have to focus more on self-rescue."

What she didn’t say was that even the production team down the mountain didn’t have enough food for themselves, let alone for them.

Even the county, if it wanted to provide disaster relief, couldn’t do so during this period.

In this place, once it snows, going out is not easy.

This isn’t like later years when numerous large machines and equipment come out to help clear the snow and pave the way.

Now snow clearing depends on manpower.

In a place as remote and vast as their farm, how could it possibly be cleared?

"Brother Song, I said, there’s no need to hide from Xiaoxiao. When you said that earlier, I was so scared I didn’t dare to speak. Look how sharp Xiaoxiao is; as soon as you said it, she immediately grasped the point.

However, Xiaoxiao is right. We should indeed reassign the dormitories. Ideally, everyone could squeeze into one dormitory, saving quite a bit of firewood. Right now, we have four dormitories.

The girls’ dormitory definitely needs to be retained, but for us boys, it’s best to reduce it to two."

He Aiguo said with a smile, and everyone laughed, lightening the atmosphere.

Song Moting glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao, full of appreciation; this woman reacted so quickly.

Even though she slept for three days and nights, she immediately grasped the key point after waking up with just one casual remark.

"Alright, you’ve eaten, and if you’re not feeling unwell, we’ll be relieved. Let’s go; everyone should go out. Xiaoxiao is awake now, don’t crowd her room. The air’s not good; we should go back and discuss what to do next?

Redefine the dormitories; if not, Aiguo and I could squeeze into one of your dorms, and that way, we can clear out my room."

Song Moting said with a smile.

Everyone else nodded. With Jiang Xiaoxiao awake, their attention immediately shifted back to dealing with the disaster at hand.

After all, that’s the big issue.

Everyone went out.

Jiang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief as Jia Shu took the bowls out.

Jiang Xiaoxiao got out of bed.

After sleeping for three days and nights, how could she not stretch her muscles?

This snow calamity might not be so simple. Back then, the production team below, due to this snow disaster, many people fell ill from hunger, everyone emaciated and frail.

Even though she had plenty of food in her space, she couldn’t just take it out.

Everyone’s food was accounted for, and nobody was stupid; they knew exactly how much to eat and save.

If she freely took things out, how would she explain it later?

But this snow disaster wouldn’t be so easily overcome.

It’s really worrying.

Jiang Xiaoxiao felt like she took a nap, and everything turned upside down.
