Chapter 185: Extreme Cold Doomsday: Accident
At the beginning, Zhang Qiang invited Jiang Jiang to sit at their table. Jiang Jiang looked around and saw that they were all older people from the village, and he shook his head.
"Uncle, I'm still in school. I'll just sit at the same table with Yiran and the others. We're all students."
Zhang Qiang found it a little funny but didn't force it.
Okay, college students, elementary school students, they are all students.
As soon as the meal was about to start, everyone's chopsticks reached out to the dishes on the table.
After eating a few bites, the men at the table started drinking wine, one glass after another. After a while, several of them had red faces from drinking.
Wang Shufen looked at Zhang Shan at the next table with disdain. She had told Zhang Shan long ago that the Erguotou they bought was a strong liquor, and asked him to drink less and eat more vegetables. However, he was already drunk before he even took a few bites.
At her table were all women she knew well. After eating a few bites, they began chatting about village gossip. They were all full of energy and didn't feel the occasional cold wind at all.
Zhang Yang's group of young people also gathered at one or two tables. They were not used to drinking beer, so they paid for some beer from the canteen with their own money, one can per person, and they enjoyed themselves while drinking and eating skewers.
Jiang Jiang consciously went to the children's table and became the undisputed most popular table. Wang Yiran, relying on her long-established authority, sat on Jiang Jiang's left. The other children almost quarreled over who could sit on her right. In the end, they played rock-paper-scissors to decide who would be the lucky one.
"Sister Jiang Jiang, am I awesome?"
Zhang Wang looked cocky and ignored the fierce looks in the eyes of the other children.
Jiang Jiang calmly took a sip of orange juice. She could already foresee the miserable life that Zhang Wang would face after he went to primary school in a year or two.
He hasn't even entered school yet, but he has offended all the senior students in the village.
After taking advantage, he still shouts loudly everywhere. Didn’t you see that even five-year-old Jiang Xiaobei clenched his fists.
"Okay, okay, let's eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold soon."
At Jiang Jiang's invitation, the children no longer worried about the seats. They sat down in random seats, picked up the chopsticks in their hands, and moved past the various braised dishes, fried meat, pig's trotters, and reached out to the fried chicken and barbecue.
Some people are not very good at using chopsticks, so they simply put the chopsticks on the table and eat with their hands.
Jiang Jiang smiled like an auntie and poured a full glass of orange juice for each child at the table.
Seeing how they were eating so happily, Jiang Jiang, who had lost his appetite after being grilled and smoked, also picked up a piece of braised beef with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
It tastes really good. She will ask Aunt Shufen for some marinade tomorrow so that she can make delicious food at home.
The dishes on each table were generous in portion. Even though Jiang Jiang's table was mostly populated by children, the dishes were the same as those at other tables. However, the children had big appetites but small stomachs, and they all ate until their bellies were full. There were still quite a few dishes left on the table, and some dishes were even left untouched.
Jiang Jiang picked a vegetable for each child.
"Eat some vegetables and get some vitamins."
Jiang Xiaobei was the smartest one. He immediately put the vegetables into his mouth and even took the initiative to pick up a piece of vegetables with his chopsticks.
"Xiao Bei is so good!"
Jiang Xiaobei raised his head after being praised, as if he had done something particularly proud.
The other children also followed suit.
"They are all good kids."
Jiang Jiang did not favor one over the other and praised them one by one.
The mothers of the children not far away saw this scene and covered their mouths and laughed.
"Look, they usually don't eat vegetables no matter how much I tell them to at home, but when Jiang Jiang tells them to, they all rush to eat."
"I feel relieved that Jiang Jiang is watching over me. It's a rare opportunity that I don't have to look after the baby. I don't know how long it has been since we last had such a relaxing chat."
As they talked, several people felt emotional.
Since having children, they have been taking care of the children and the stove all day long, and there is not a single day that is completely relaxing. It was also at this time that they understood what the female elders meant when they said, "I really envy you for not getting married yet."
On the other side, a group of children played games together at the door after eating, and Jiang Jiang also breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s better to have children from other families. It’s enough to just take them out to play for a day or two. If you really have to take care of a group of children every day, Jiang Jiang can’t imagine how overwhelmed he would be.
In the joyful atmosphere, there was a sudden exclamation.
"It's snowing! It's snowing!"
The children jumped for joy, ran out of the shed one by one and stretched out their hands to catch the snow.
It snows in Liaocheng occasionally in some years, but the temperature in the city is high, so the snow melts as soon as it falls, while sometimes there is still some snow piled up on the mountains.
The old people were wearing thick military coats and warming themselves by the heater. They didn't worry too much when they heard the sound of snow.
They have lived for decades and have experienced several times when it started snowing in November. Some winters are always particularly cold.
Zhang Qiang drank a lot of wine and said with a thick tongue, "It's really snowing? I heard from the weather forecast that there will be some kind of current and the temperature will drop recently. I didn't expect the temperature to drop so low that it snowed."
Not only the children were happy, many young people were also interested. It was a rare sight for them to see snow, so they zipped up their clothes tightly and ran out to play in the snow.
Fashionable people are also using their smartphones to record videos, whether they are used to post on WeChat Moments or to send to specific individuals.
Only Jiang Jiang's face suddenly turned very bad. It was snowing?
This is two or three days faster than the original owner's memory!
fortunately!
Fortunately, she did not rush to bring back the young men who left the village, otherwise it would have harmed them instead.
If you are trapped in a station and are unfamiliar with the place, then there is nothing you can do.
Fortunately, everyone returned to the village safely.
Now that there is food, charcoal, and the house has been repaired, Jiang Jiang has made all the necessary preparations within a reasonable range.
All that remains is to do one's best and leave the rest to fate.
Suddenly, Jiang Jiang heard Qian Hao shouting:
"Snow harder! Snow harder! Then we can have a snowball fight!"
Amid the cheers of the children and the laughter of the elders, Jiang Jiang sighed helplessly.
She picked up a pig's trotter as if to vent her anger and gnawed on it silently, hoping to eat more and grow more meat.
Only when you are cold and sick do you realize how useful the fat on your body is.
Although humans cannot eat and drink enough to gain weight throughout the long winter like bears, it is no problem for them to burn fat to resist the cold.
Endless snowflakes condensed from the sky and drifted to the earth. In a short while, the originally green mountains turned snow-white.
The sun has set.
