Chapter 183: Playing in the snow and sweeping the snow.
"Yizhen, I received a notice from the bureau. The provincial government wants our public security system to organize all public security officers to rush to the hardest-hit areas by the blizzard to carry out rescue operations. It is estimated that it will take ten days to half a month. If there is any emergency at the Chen Mansion or the company, remember to call me at any time." Ming Yuanhui hurriedly ate breakfast, put on his travel bag and went to carry out the mission. "
Military beauties who support the army, love the army and strengthen the army, carried snow-clearing tools and ran to the children's playground in the third courtyard of Yang's mansion, carefully clearing the snow covering the slides, see-saws, sand pits and other recreational facilities.
Yang Ruolan, wrapped in a fluffy mink coat, came out to greet the children. Feiyan and Feixiang finally couldn't hold back any longer and started rolling in the snow.
Bo Xiang, Bo Wen, Jun Yan, and Jun Ge also followed to Yang's residence. Grandma Chen Yalu shouted worriedly, "Kids, go slowly. Be careful not to fall. Yi Zhen, go and look after them. It's New Year's Day. Don't let anything happen. Otherwise, it will be very annoying."
Qian Yizhen came to Yang's house and saw Bo Xiang, Bo Wen, Jun Yan, Jun Ge, Fei Yan and Fei Xiang rolling in the snow, while Yang Ruolan was busily taking pictures of the children.
Just as he was about to speak, Xiangxiang and Ganggang came running over and started a snowball fight on purpose.
Qian Yizhen reminded the children: "When playing in the snow, you must wear gloves, hats and scarves. Otherwise, your hands, faces, ears and feet will become red, swollen and itchy. That's frostbite. Did you hear me?"
Wang Min also hurried over: "These two children ran faster than rabbits. I guess they must have run to Yang's house. It turned out to be just as expected." While speaking, Wang Min grabbed Xiangxiang and Ganggang and put the cotton gloves and hats he brought from home on the two children.
"Yang Ruolan, why are you so lazy? You don't even sweep the snow in the yard. How do you walk in and out so often?" Wang Min said.
"There are no male laborers in our family. You know that the housekeeper Yao Mei went home for the New Year. There are only four of us, the housekeepers Xue Jun, Feixiang and Feiyan, in the entire three-courtyard house. Apart from the women, there are children. How can we have time to clean? Don't blame me. Have you cleaned the snow in your palace?" Yang Ruolan said unconvinced.
"Yizhen, there is one more thing that worries me. I have to go to the airport to pick up my parents this afternoon. They insisted on coming to spend the New Year with me and said that the ancestor worship will be handled by my brothers. It's snowing so heavily, I don't dare drive to pick them up." Yang Ruolan said impatiently.
"Ruolan, that's easy. I'll ask Minzhen's jeep to pick up your parents. Now all government departments are on the road clearing the snow. I estimate that the snow on the main roads in the city should be cleared by this afternoon.
I have sent a jeep to the train station to pick up Li Hongmei and Ming Zhigang. I will ask them about the situation on the road when they come back." Qian Yizhen said, looking at his watch.
After Li Baoguo, housekeeper Li Xiaoquan and Qian Baogui cleared the snow outside the gate of Chen's Mansion, they began to clear the snow outside the gates of Yang's Mansion, Kuang's Mansion and Wang's Mansion.
After Professor Chen Zhuoran and Sister-in-law Hao Xia cleared the snow outside the gate of Lu Mansion, they also joined the ranks of clearing the snow outside the gates of Yang Mansion, Kuang Mansion and Wang Mansion.
Qian Yizhen called out to the four kids, "Kids, after you finish cleaning the snow on the recreational facilities, don't just play around. Come over as soon as possible to help Aunt Ruolan clean the snow on the first and second courtyards."
Qian Yizhen picked up a shovel and started shoveling snow. Yang Ruolan, wearing a mink coat and genuine leather shoes, stood in the snow in a daze. Wang Min waved a broom, "Yang Ruolan, you'd better change into ordinary working people's clothes and quickly join the snow-sweeping team. You won't wait for your parents to come home and there won't even be a snow-free path in your house," Wang Min said unhappily.
Yang Ruolan went to the bedroom to change clothes embarrassedly. Feiyan and Feixiang's little faces and hands were frozen red, and they started sneezing one after another. Qian Yizheng quickly grabbed the two children, followed Yang Ruolan to the bedroom, and helped the two children put on thick cotton coats, cotton pants, cotton shoes, and put on hats and scarves.
After about two hours of cleaning, the small paths leading to the doors of each house in Yang's mansion and the road leading to the main gate had all been cleared. The children cheered, and the work was done.
Qian Yizheng led the children to the Kuang Mansion.
Grandpa Kuang was holding a shovel and slowly clearing the snow under his feet. Grandma Huang was sitting at the door, staring at the snow all over the yard. When she saw the children chattering in, she immediately became energetic, stood up, and walked out.
Qian Yizhen quickly ran forward, supported Grandma Huang and said, "Grandma, please sit here and don't move. The snow is slippery and it's easy to fall. Just watch us sweep the snow."
Grandma Huang sat obediently on the mat, looking at the lively scene of snow sweeping in front of her, talking to herself non-stop.
"Yizhen, this year my grandson and great-grandson from Hong Kong will come back on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month to celebrate the New Year with us. It's snowing so heavily now, I don't know if they can come. I hope God will let them come back to celebrate the New Year. We haven't seen them for more than 20 years." Grandpa Kuang said, holding the broom.
"Grandpa Kuang, they will definitely come back. I will pick them up at the airport. Don't worry, good things will come to those who are lucky." Qian Yizheng comforted.
"Mr. Qian, Grandpa Kuang and Grandma Huang are both old, and Grandma Huang is getting more and more confused day by day. They need someone to be around. But I have a whole family at home who are waiting for me to go back and help with the New Year. I want to go home to celebrate the New Year from the 30th of the 12th lunar month to the 3rd of the 1st lunar month. Can you find someone to take my shift for a few days?" Housekeeper Wei Suqin said apologetically.
"Sister Wei, you can go home for the New Year. I'll let Xia Juxiang come to take over. Don't worry." Qian Yizhen said.
"That's good. Mr. Qian, the Kuang Mansion is frying oil today. I'm going to fry the meatballs and tofu." Housekeeper Wei Suqin went to work happily.
"Grandpa Kuang, your grandson and great-grandson are coming back for the New Year. Are the rooms tidied up? Are the beddings ready?" Qian Yizhen asked.
"The room has been tidied up long ago, and the bedding, sheets and other daily necessities are all new. The New Year's goods are also three to five times the amount of last year." Grandpa Kuang said.
"Grandpa Kuang, you are such a caring person and you take great care of your younger generations. Your descendants and grandchildren are so blessed." Qian Yizheng said with emotion.
"Yizhen, I'm very conflicted now. I want to help them financially with all my heart, but I'm also afraid that my financial help will lead them to become complacent and live beyond their means. Perhaps it would be more practical to let them struggle and grow on their own in poverty." Grandpa Kuang said with some concern.
"Grandpa Kuang, you don't have to worry. You have purchased the properties they need, which only solves their housing and shop problems. As for other survival problems, you still have to let them solve them by themselves as before. There is nothing wrong with your approach, so don't worry too much." Qian Yizheng persuaded.
Sister-in-law Hao Xia came to the Kuang residence with the Spring Festival couplets written by Grandma Lu Jingde and Professor Chen Zhuoran and a bag of steamed buns with flowers: "Grandpa Kuang, Grandma Huang, hello, I am here to give you Spring Festival couplets and steamed buns with flowers."
