The majority of the people sweeping the snow were women, followed by the active young men. Men who had married rarely mingled in the middle, and an old man walking in the middle of the team gave people a very uncoordinated feeling, although Li Kaishan did not care about this.
School stopped at eleven in the morning, and in the afternoon, it felt like there was sunshine in the sky. It was precisely because the weather seemed to have cleared up a lot that Captain Wang urged everyone to finish their work quickly. In his words,"All regions of the country are actively fighting against the snow disaster, and we can't fall behind."”
Although it was sunny in the afternoon, it seemed to be much colder than in the morning. Although it was snowing in the morning, there was no wind. However, the wind in the afternoon was very strong. A large group of people were talking and laughing on the road. If they were not carrying shovels, they would have been seen as going to the market. The women shrunk their necks and chattered to each other. It was unknown what they were talking about, but there was a burst of happy laughter. On the other hand, those young people who had just returned from work did not feel cold even though they were only wearing a few clothes. They laughed and fought with each other on the road, or casually picked up snowballs and threw them at each other.
The snow this year was really heavy. After more than ten days of snow, a thick layer of snow piled up on the road. The ground they stepped on was as hard and slippery as an ice-skating rink. Soon, people started to slip and fall. Some of the people who were usually very bold on motorcycles did not dare to be impudent anymore. They had probably suffered from falling down before. There was also snow on the roadside that had not been stepped on, and that was not something that could be stepped on. It wasn't that it was slippery, but that it was too deep. The snow that he did not step on was already up to his knees. The cars that were usually proudly driving on the road had long since disappeared. They were all hiding in their garages like turtles, causing the owners who usually did not take a few steps to almost run short.
It was indeed as Orchid had said," None of them looked like they were sweeping the snow. Everyone was gathered together, each of them holding a shovel in their hands, slowly and carefully digging the snow on the road. The people with shovels even scratched the ice surface a few times. This was considered very honest work. There were even more ridiculous people who directly started snowball fights on the road. Of course, the snowball fights were the "masterpieces" of those young people who did not know that their master had just entered the world. Li Kaishan was still enthusiastically sweeping the snow down the mountain. After an hour of walking, he had long lost his strength. He could only hold his shovel that was less than one meter long and stand aside to watch others work.
Seeing this, Captain Wang shouted from both sides,"Sigh! You can't just sweep the snow and ice in one place. Spread out! When would the road be opened if they worked like that? Hurry, hurry!"
Captain Wang put on the airs of an adjutant and commanded from both sides. When everyone saw this, they only laughed and ignored him. They continued to do their own things. Some of the women had already run to the store to buy some melon seeds and dispersed among the crowd, asking everyone to "work" while eating melon seeds. Li Hailin smiled and thought," He had to work with a shovel and put melon seeds into his mouth. She had to speak loudly and munch on melon seeds. If they could do a good job like this, it would really be difficult for these people. Seeing that his grandfather was not working, he ran to Lan Hua and said,""Since you guys aren't working, I want to go play too.”
Lan Hua wasn't Hai Lin's biological mother. She was just an adopted wife of Hai Lin's father. Hailin's own mother had passed away long ago. Before Lan Hua married into the Li family, she had her own selfish motives. The Li family's Hailin people were handsome and university students. Furthermore, his daughter was not much older than Hai Lin. If he came to the Li family, his daughter would have a chance to marry Hai Lin in the future. Even if Hailin was unwilling to marry a daughter with a low education level because she had graduated from university, if she treated Hailin better, she would be able to enjoy life when she was old. Therefore, after Lan Hua married Li Chengwu, she had always been very good to Hai Lin. Seeing that her son really wanted to play with someone else, she couldn't stop him. She said,"Then go ahead. I'll take care of it. If he played slowly, the road would be very slippery. If he was not careful, his head would fall off.”
Hailin only found it funny when he heard that.'You just told me to go and play, but you told me to play " slowly." What kind of game is this " slowly "?' Thinking of this, he secretly laughed for a while before running to the group of young people not far away. Before he left, he still had the brain to think about the melon seeds in his mother's hands, but it became " melon seeds in one hand and snowballs in the other ".
The young people on the road had gone crazy. On the smooth road, a few people fell on their backs from time to time, but after they got up, they continued to throw snowballs at the " enemy." It was funny to think that it would have been better if they hadn't asked these people to clean up the snow and ice on the road, but the situation had become worse after they had. After three o'clock in the afternoon, the people saw that there was really nothing to do, and the captain could not control them, so they went home in twos and threes. Li Kaishan was afraid that the children would occasionally throw snowballs at him, so he picked up a shovel and walked home at two o'clock. He didn't want his wife to send him orchids, nor did he greet Hai Lin. As for splitting the money-alas! It's so good to go home. There's nothing much to ask for!
At 3:30 in the afternoon, the snow-sweeping " representative " sent by Dawa had left, leaving only a dozen active young men. The road that Gui Dawa had cleared was a mess. Countless melon seed shells were scattered all over the ground, and snowflakes were rolling on the smooth road. The representatives of the other teams could only shake their heads when they saw this scene. These people in Dawa are too uncultured. Look at how clean our section of the road is! If the snow-sweeping representative of Dawa had really made a contribution, it would be a moderate contribution to the store's economy. Those melon seed shells were proof of that.
As they fought and played, these little imps also walked back one after another, but accompanied by the snowballs flying in the sky and the laughter. Although their actions made the passersby, especially those who had just cleared the road, very angry, Hailin was very happy. Here, he found the childhood that he had long lost. At the very least, it would be a pity if the once-in-50-years snow was cleared just like that.
Thinking of this, he pinched another snowball and threw it at the person who had plotted against him."Good, you actually dare to plot against me!”
"I didn't plot against you because I didn't know what you were thinking." What are you thinking about? I'm probably thinking of getting a wife. Unfortunately, there are no young girls here. Otherwise, I could consider being a matchmaker for you! Haha!" As he spoke, his hands didn't stop moving. As he spoke, a flying ball flew in front of Hai Lin, but Hai Lin dodged it. Hailin lowered his head and threw a snowball at him, not wanting to make him scream.
