Chapter 243 Snow Disaster
"Rich families are very noble." Boss Mu's words were met with an angry rebuke from Liu.
"Look, look, it's because you always say that that Pingping would have such terrible thoughts."
She became more and more dissatisfied as she spoke. "Pingping thinks that rich families are all noble and good in every way. It's all because of what you do in your daily life."
Boss Mu said in a good-tempered manner, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Don't be angry. It's not good for you to be angry."
"It's just a normal thing, let's see how to deal with it."
It didn't matter if he was afraid of the rich family, after all, he hardly ever went out.
But Pingping can't do that. He will take part in the imperial examinations in the future and may achieve great things. He cannot be afraid of wealthy families.
Liu was extremely worried, "Ping Ping's matter cannot be delayed any longer."
"I just talked to Pingping and found that his ideas are very wrong."
"Compared to the wealthy families, he felt inferior to them because of his background and because he didn't have what the wealthy families had."
Boss Mu actually didn’t think there was anything wrong with his child’s thinking.
In his opinion, farmers like them were inferior to the wealthy families.
But he couldn't say that, and he also had to change Pingping's mind.
"So, what should we do?"
Liu couldn't think of a solution for the time being. "Well, I'll go find Mr. Cheng tomorrow and see if he has any good ideas."
Mu Laodao said, "If it really doesn't work, let Pingping do more things, so that he won't have time to think about these things."
Upon hearing this, Liu slapped her thigh and said, "Your idea is good."
"We have to shovel snow at home, so let's have Pingping shovel more snow and have Mr. Cheng give him more homework. That way he won't have time to think about other things."
She just didn't believe that Pingping, exhausted as she was, still had the mind to think about these trivial things.
then--
From the next day on, Mu Pingping had to get up early every day to shovel snow.
After shoveling the snow, he had to go back into the house to complete the homework assigned by Cheng Zishi.
The kind with a thick pile of homework.
Not only does it involve practicing calligraphy and copying books, but it also involves learning new characters and doing tests.
In short, apart from eating and sleeping, he has no rest time.
Busier than a spinning top.
However, children like Mu Baobao are not so busy, they have plenty of time to play.
Mu Baobao once pulled Cheng Zishi aside to ask why he assigned so many homework assignments to his elder brother.
After learning the reason, she didn't understand but didn't make trouble.
During this period, the snow fell heavier and heavier, often enough to bury an adult in one night.
It's another day of heavy snow.
The Mu family members who were unable to go out all sat in the main room warming themselves by the fire, even Cheng Zishi and Doctor Deng were there.
There were five or six braziers in the main room, and everyone was holding a hot water bottle, but still felt a little cold.
The window cannot be closed with that crack left.
"Grandma, it's snowing so heavily outside." Baby Mu sat on a low stool, holding his chin with his hands and looking at the heavy snow outside. "Our yard is completely covered in snow."
We shovel snow several times a day at home, but it still gets flooded.
Zhu frowned, "Come to think of it, it hasn't snowed this heavily in years."
"Looking at the situation, there won't be a snowstorm, right?"
Mu Baobao asked, "Grandma, what is a snowstorm?"
Zhu sighed, "A snowstorm is just too much snow. It can collapse houses, kill people, and so on. It's a very bad thing."
Hearing this, Mu Baobao subconsciously glanced at his new house and asked, "Grandma, is our new house sturdy?"
Zhu, "...our new house is very sturdy, you don't have to worry."
She personally supervised the construction of this new house, and it is very sturdy.
Just as Mu Baobao said "oh", he heard someone shouting outside.
"A house has collapsed! There are people inside, please come and help!"
Mu Laodi said quickly, "Big brother, take the second and third brothers to help."
"Be careful, you all have families to support."
The three brothers Mu Lao Da responded and went out to help.
As soon as the three brothers opened the gate, they were hit by a pile of snow.
The yard was covered with snow, so deep that it was difficult for adults to walk.
It took a lot of effort for the three brothers Mu Lao Da to reach the house that was crushed by the snow.
At this time, some villagers had already arrived.
They are all young and middle-aged.
The three brothers Mu Lao Da looked at the house collapsed by the snow and felt a sense of fear. Fortunately, they built a new house at home, otherwise something might have happened.
Since the heavy snow, Zhu asked all three brothers to move into the new house, for fear that the heavy snow would crush the house.
"Be careful, save people quickly." A villager said, and then went to save people first.
Rescuing people in such a place is extremely difficult and dangerous. If you are not careful, you may step on sharp objects or accidentally crush the people below.
"Clean up the area first to prevent any sharp objects." A villager suggested, "The house collapsed, and there are a lot of sharp objects in the snow."
"It was buried in the snow and couldn't be seen at all."
Some villagers were cleaning up the surrounding area, while others were working together to rescue people.
Just then, a "boom" sound was heard, attracting everyone's attention.
More houses collapsed.
It made everyone present feel sad.
"The snow this year was so heavy that half of the house was submerged. If the house was not reinforced or not stable enough, it would be crushed by the heavy snow."
"Everyone, stop talking and save them quickly so we can go to the next place to save people. We are all from the same village, we can't just watch the villagers freeze to death."
At this time, the village chief came hurriedly.
"Those who were rescued were sent to the ancestral temple. All of them were sent to the ancestral temple."
He barely caught his breath. "The ancestral hall is solid. It was reinforced earlier this summer. It's also large enough for them to stay in temporarily."
With the village chief's words, the villagers no longer worried that these people would have no place to live after being rescued.
The village chief was directing the group on the scene. "I've asked my wife to make ginger soup and meat buns. Everyone will drink some ginger soup and eat some meat buns in a while."
Saving people is not only a physical job, but also requires maintaining body temperature, otherwise accidents can easily happen.
What happened in Xingzi Village happened in many places throughout Rong Dynasty.
Rongdu, the imperial palace, a side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
As soon as Zheng Xingguang came in, he saw the worried uncle emperor.
"Is Uncle Emperor worried about the snowstorm?" he asked directly.
When Emperor Sheng saw him coming, he ordered the palace servants to serve him tea and snacks, "Yes."
He did not hide it from Zheng Xingguang just because he was young. "I have discussed this matter with the court officials."
"But from the Crown Prince to the seventh-rank officials, no one has come up with a solid plan."
He was veiled in anger. "These people are used to enjoying themselves, and they can't even do anything for the people."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xingguang said, "Uncle Emperor, how about this? Whoever can't come up with a plan will have all his money and property confiscated and used for disaster relief."
Emperor Sheng was really tempted, "I'm afraid this is not a good idea."
