The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 130 Heavy Snow

Li Xin doesn't look much like Li Deshan, but it's possible that the old man Li Deshan usually has a stern face, which is quite different from Li Xin's gentle and polite appearance.

Standing next to Li Xin was a woman in her thirties and a boy who looked to be about ten years old.

The woman said, "Come in and sit down!"

The Lin family and Li Zhongwei followed them into the main room and put down the New Year's gifts they were carrying.

After learning from Li Zhongwei that he had taken Lin Yan as his apprentice, Li Deshan looked at him with pity.

"Can you handle this girl?!"

Li Zhongwei said with dissatisfaction, "She is very talented! She learns quickly, but she is not serious enough. She really needs to be managed properly."

Li Xin was talking to Lin's father about Lin Yu's studies. The county exam was in a month, and Lin Yu had made great progress recently. He was eligible to take the exam, and if he passed, he could go to the county school.

Although Mr. Lin didn't quite understand, he obediently nodded.

"In just half a year, Lin Yu has learned very quickly. I originally just thought that he would experience the examination room and try to pass the exam next year, but I did not expect that he would finish the Five Classics course by himself."

Li Xin was also very satisfied with this student, saying, "I think Lin Yu has a good chance of passing the county exam this year."

When Lin's mother heard her husband praising her son, she felt very gratified. Lin's father just nodded, and Lin Yu just behaved himself.

Li Xin looked at Lin Yu and said, "But don't be too nervous. The closer it gets to the exam, the more you need to take care of your health. You can't study day and night."

Lin Yan nodded in agreement. She also felt that Lin Yu had been working too hard lately, although Lin Yu himself didn't think so.

…………

With the distillery closed and nothing much to do at home, Lin Yan spent her days either attending two hours of lessons with Li Zhongwei or going up the mountain with him to collect herbs, or playing mahjong with her siblings at home.

They were still one player short, but Li Zhongwei filled in. Lin Yu was even more motivated after being praised and continued to study in the study.

Lin's mother and Madam Quan were not interested in children's games at first, but after watching one round, they were hooked.

Every day, Lin's father would play mahjong with Madam Quan. Seeing this, he carved another set of tiles out of wood to prevent several people from fighting over them.

The peaceful days continued until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The weather should have started to warm up, but instead, it snowed in Rong'an County.

Lin Yan looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky, a faint unease rising in her heart, because it rarely snows in Yun'an Province, and even if it did, it shouldn't be now.

The weather should be warming up after the New Year, but it's getting colder instead.

"Oh my god! It's snowing!" Quan Wenxue put on a cloak and came out of the house, followed by a snowflake.

Lin Yu also opened the window to look at the snow. He had never seen such heavy snow before. The fluttering snowflakes outside were very beautiful.

Although the weather was a bit colder, for the Lin family, it was just a matter of wearing an extra cotton coat and putting two braziers in the house; everything remained the same.

The heavy snow fell for two days in a row. When I went out again, everything outside was covered in white. The plum blossoms planted in the yard had truly become proud red plum blossoms in the snow.

A newly built snowman was standing nearby.

Quan Sinian had already swept the snow in the yard, leaving only a thin layer of fresh snow, with a string of uncolored paw prints on the ground.

Because it got a bit cold, Lin Yan put the non-yellowed mat inside, but the little guy still really liked playing in the snow.

"The weather seems much colder, almost like winter in Beijing." Quan Wenxue covered her face and breathed out a breath.

Lin's mother also said, "It's been so long since Rong'an has had such heavy snow."

Mr. Lin shook his head. "I don't remember. I don't recall it ever snowing this heavily. Besides, it's already past the New Year; it shouldn't be snowing now."

Lin Yan asked worriedly, "Will we have any problems getting through the winter this year?"

"What?" Quan Wenxue didn't realize the problem.

Lin Yan explained, "Winters in Rong'an are rarely this cold. Some families may not have prepared for winter. In previous years, a cotton-padded coat was enough to get through the winter, but this year that might not be enough. Hopefully, this cold won't last too long." Otherwise, some people might freeze to death. Lin Yan didn't say the last sentence aloud.

Quan Wenxue had never experienced hardship growing up, so she naturally couldn't imagine how difficult it was for some families to buy a cotton-padded coat. Hearing Lin Yan's words, she was somewhat stunned.

"What should we do? Will it really turn into a natural disaster?" Quan Wenxue worriedly asked. What she had initially thought was a beautiful snow scene had turned into fear.

"It shouldn't be that bad. It's only been two days. Once it snows, the government should take care of it!" said Lin's father.

Quan Sinian thought more deeply and asked, "Do we have enough food? Should I go to the county to buy some more?"

Madam Quan nodded: "Yes, yes, yes! Is there enough food? Let's buy more!"

Although I don't really believe this winter will turn into a natural disaster, the first thing that comes to mind when I think of this kind of weather is stockpiling food just in case.

Lin Yan remained silent for a while before saying, "The snow has stopped, let's go to the county today! I'll go with you."

Actually, they had enough food. Lin Yan bought a lot when she went to the county before. She just wanted to go to the county to check on the situation.

Quan Sinian agreed, saying, "That's right, we need to go as soon as possible, or they might all be snatched up."

Quan Rongxing said, "We have plenty of grain! We still have some raw materials from the previous brewing that we haven't used up, so they're all stored in the warehouse."

Madam Quan breathed a sigh of relief. She had been quite anxious and worried because of the serious expressions on Lin Yan's and the others' faces. Hearing that there was still a lot of grain in the distillery, she felt somewhat reassured.

Quan Sinian nodded, "Then I'll see how much we have later and buy some other things."

As he spoke, he went out the door to check on the grain at the distillery.

After a while, Quan Sinian returned, stomped his feet at the door, and scraped off the snow.

He said to the people inside, "I've checked the grain. There's still plenty of rice and millet. It'll be enough for us to eat for quite a while. We shouldn't need to buy any more."

"However, it might be difficult for us to get to the county. The snow outside is almost up to our calves, and it's quite thick."

Madam Quan said, "Then, should we still go buy it?"

Quan Sinian said, "Let's go, we can't just eat this much rice!"

"Let's walk slowly on the road and ride horses!" The whole family came with two horses and a carriage.

Lin Yan went to the county with Quan Sinian. Lin's mother and Madam Quan watched them leave with concern.

Quan Wenxue comforted them, "Aunt Lin, Mother, don't worry too much. The road is flat, just walk slowly."

Lin Yu wasn't worried about safety, because he knew Lin Yan's secret, making it quite difficult for her to get into danger.

However, he was somewhat worried about the snow disaster Lin Yan mentioned, as the weather had never been this cold before.

Lin Yan and Quan Sinian walked through the snow to the county. Fortunately, the road was still relatively easy to travel, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get to the county.

The two walked slowly and leisurely, and did not arrive in the county until almost noon.
