Because of the recent weather, she had planted mainly rice and wheat in her space.
When food was scarce, survival came first. Compared to vegetables that satisfied taste and nutrition, rice and flour were far more urgently needed.
Her space was forever like spring, with rich soil that needed no tending. Its harvests far outstripped the outside world.
Just the crops from this space alone were enough to keep her alive, to make sure she would never starve.
When Wei Ruo finished her work and left the space, it was already almost 7 a.m. The sky was growing light.
She dressed in a thick jacket, pulled on a cloak, and stepped into the outer room. Xiumei was already awake.
When Wei Ruo got up, Xiumei asked with concern, “Miss, are you all right? Do you have a headache? I boiled some sobering tea, you should drink a little first.”
“I’m fine. Thank you for taking care of me last night.”
“Miss, why are you being polite with me? Looking after you is what I should do. Besides, I know you always shoulder everything alone—didn’t you let it all slip out after drinking too much yesterday?”
Wei Ruo felt embarrassed and quickly pleaded, “Good Meimei, don’t be angry. It’s not that I was hiding things from you. I don’t usually think that much. It’s just that I drank too much yesterday, and with the mood and the scene, I couldn’t help but feel a little emotional! They were really just passing sentiments, not so much unhappiness! With you by my side, how could I possibly be unhappy?”
“Hmph, next time if you have anything on your mind, you must tell me. Whether you’re upset or worried, you have to tell me,” Xiumei said deliberately, putting on a stern face to make herself look strict and not easy to fool.
“All right, all right, all right,” Wei Ruo agreed at once.
When Wei Ruo went outside, she saw heavy snow fluttering through the sky.
Yesterday, when they had been drinking together until late, the snow had already completely stopped.
But when she woke up after a night’s sleep, it was snowing heavily again.
Xiumei said to Wei Ruo, “When I helped Miss back to your room yesterday, it still hadn’t started snowing. According to what you said before, if it keeps snowing like this, could something bad happen?”
“Although I very much hope the answer is no, if it really goes on like this, problems are very likely to occur,” Wei Ruo replied.
“Then Miss, is there anything we can do?” Xiumei asked.
“Before a natural disaster, we were far too small. What we can do is very limited. For now, all we can hope for is that this snow stops quickly, and that the temperature doesn’t drop any further,” Wei Ruo said.
But apart from the snow falling harder again, when they got up that morning the air also felt colder than it had the night before.
When the snowfall had first begun, it was during the meeting of cold and warm fronts, so the temperature hadn’t been too low. Once the cold front gained the upper hand and the cold air mass completely settled in, the temperature became lower than it had been when the snow first started.
In the end, just how low the temperature would drop and how long it would last depended on how strong that cold wave was.
However, Wei Ruo’s hopes were ultimately in vain. The snow fell for a full day and night, and the accumulated snow rose above their waists. The table Wei Ruo had left out in the courtyard without bringing it in was buried under the snow, leaving no trace of it.
The elderly people of Taizhou Prefecture, those who had lived to seventy or eighty, all said that this was the heaviest snowfall they had seen in their entire lives.
