Daohua took out half of the sweet potatoes brought by Li Xingnian and put them in the village for breeding, and planted the other half in the space to prepare for planting next year.

"Why is it so hot this year?"

After mid-June, the temperature in Liangdu became hotter day by day. The ground was scalding hot from the sun. Water sprinkled on the ground evaporated in a short time. Everyone was so hot that they didn't want to move.

Daohua was worried about her son suffering from heatstroke, so she could only forcefully restrain him in the house and prevent him from leaving. Fortunately, there were many toys in the toy room, so the little boy stopped making noises at first.

It wasn't until mid-August that the temperature began to drop.

But this time the temperature difference dropped a bit. It was originally a crisp autumn day, but it made people feel chilly.

Some experienced old people expressed concern: "The weather this year is a bit abnormal, so hurry up and harvest the crops in the fields."

Master Wang also had this concern and immediately reported it to Xiao Yeyang.

After Xiao Yeyang heard this, he asked some farming experts and got the same result, so he ordered each guard station to harvest the crops in advance.

Sure enough, September has entered, and frost has appeared in several health centers in Xiliang. Some crops that were not harvested in time were extensively frostbitten.

"This winter may be very cold, so you need to prepare more supplies for the winter."

After Xiao Yeyang returned home, he talked to Daohua.

Daohua nodded: "I feel it too. In previous years, Xiliang started to get cold in September, but it's not as cold as this year. Some servants in the house who are not in good health have put on cotton-padded clothes."<

/p>

Xiao Yeyang: "I have already sent people to Ganzhou to defend it. I need to bring more coal to store it. If there is a disaster, we can respond in time."

Daohua said 'hmm': "I know how to prepare here in the house, you just have to worry about the things outside."

Xiao Yeyang added: "Fortunately, you taught everyone how to knit sweaters this year. The Military Supplies Department has prepared tens of thousands of sweaters and trousers. Each of the twelve military towns will be divided into one set. Each patrolling officer should be able to receive one set.

”

"As for ordinary people, there are many herdsmen in Xiliang, and wool is not hard to come by. If we save the province, every family should be able to get something to wear."

In October, heavy snow fell like goose feathers in many places in Xiliang.

In less than half a month, many health stations reported snow disasters in areas under the jurisdiction of the capital.

After that, Xiao Yeyang became even busier than before. He left early and came back late. Daazi even complained that he hadn't seen his father for a long time.

Thanks to the reconstruction of official roads at all health stations this year, the roads are much easier to walk. With Xiao Yeyang's strong intervention, winter supplies were transported to the disaster area in time, so there were no large number of cases of frostbite and death.

Wangjiacun.

The head of the Wang clan, wielding a cane, went from house to house to inspect the status of his clan members, fearing that some clan members would freeze to death and starve to death.

Fortunately, after looking around, this did not happen. The lonely old people in the tribe can still survive this winter with the clothes and food provided by the tribe.

Although the life of the tribe is not rich now, they can still survive.

The patriarch tightened his cotton-padded coat tightly. He also wore a sweater and woolen trousers under the cotton-padded coat. It was not very cold walking in the snow. In previous years, he would have only had a cotton-padded coat to keep out the cold. At this time, he would not have dared to go out.

By the way, these woolen sweaters, wool pants, gloves, and socks are really warm. Next year, he will see if the family will buy a few more sheep to raise.

Without these sweaters and trousers, some of the elders in the clan might not be able to survive this cold winter.

In the past, wool was not very valuable, but now everyone can knit sweaters and trousers, and the herdsmen are not willing to sell the wool in their hands.

Some merchants are purchasing wool in large quantities. Sweaters and trousers are so warm. These merchants see business opportunities and plan to knit sweaters and trousers into other items and sell them to other provinces.

If the tribe also raises sheep, in addition to being used by the tribe, they might also be able to earn some money to supplement the family income.

It started to snow again in the sky. The clan leader shrank his neck and hurried home.

......

Xiao Yeyang was busy until the end of the year when he had some free time.

Dao Zi hadn't seen his father for two or three months. Suddenly he saw Xiao Yeyang while having breakfast and was stunned.

"You brat, have you forgotten daddy?"

Seeing his son looking at him with a confused expression, Xiao Yeyang smiled and rubbed his head.

Dao Zi thought about what his mother told him, and immediately asked loudly: "Dad, are you done?"

Xiao Yeyang's eyes lit up: "I haven't been with you for a few months, and you still ask questions? My son is amazing."

Seeing Xiao Yeyang's proud look, Daohua was a little speechless: "You are not busy now, spend more time with the little guy, just to feel the one hundred thousand whys of your son."

Xiao Yeyang looked puzzled: "What one hundred thousand whys?"

Daohua smiled and said, "You will know soon." As she said that, she talked about the New Year's gifts, "This year there is heavy snow in Xiliang and the roads are difficult to walk. The New Year's gifts in the capital may have to be sent later.

Arrive."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "These external force majeure factors must be explained clearly to the father and the father-in-law, and they will understand."

Daohua: "Of course I know this. Isn't this a New Year's gift for Uncle Huang? If it's not delivered until after the New Year, I'm worried that Uncle Huang won't like it."

Xiao Yeyang: "No, uncle Huang is not that stingy."

Daohua: "If you say that, I'll feel relieved."

The New Year's gift to the emperor is nothing, just some good leathers that Xiao Yeyang led his troops to hunt, as well as various sweaters, waistcoats and other items newly released this year made of various wool threads, just to express my feelings.

Prince Ping and Yan Mansion are also similar.

After dinner, Daohua went to help with the affairs of the house and left her son directly to Xiao Yeyang.

The weather was cold and he couldn't go out. Dao Zai was confined to the house and became obsessed with painting.

"Daddy, please accompany me to paint."

"Okay!"

Daozi took Xiao Yeyang to the toy room, found the drawing paper and watercolor pens that his mother had bound for him, and then took Xiao Yeyang to sit on his small table.

Xiao Yeyang curiously took his son's watercolor pen. After looking at it, he smiled and said, "Your mother has worked hard for you."

My son is young, so I just let him paint with paint. He probably won’t be able to look at it after he comes down to the house once or twice.

You know, painting paint can take a lot of cleaning.

Daazi picked up the red watercolor pen and started drawing on the paper.

Xiao Yeyang originally thought that he would just sit aside and guide his son in painting, but after a while, his son looked at him with dark eyes.

"Dad, why are there only black dogs?"

Xiao Yeyang: "...because the dog itself is black."

Daozi pouted: "But I like red dogs." As he said that, he raised the drawing paper and handed the red puppy he drew to Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang: "..."

After a while, Daazi asked again: "Dad, grandma said I picked it up, is it true?"

Xiao Yeyang immediately said: "Of course not, you are the child of father and mother."

Rice's eyes suddenly widened: "How did it grow?"

Xiao Yeyang: "..." This question is a bit difficult.

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang couldn't answer, Dao Zi seemed a little disgusted: "Dad, why do old hens lay eggs?"

"Dad, why is it snowing in the sky?"

"Dad, why does it feel cold when it snows?"

"Dad, why do the flowers in our ancestor's yard die when they are pulled out?"

At noon, Xiao Yeyang carried his son to the dining room in a daze and started to eat, still thinking about his son's reasons in his mind.
