Chapter 307 Unity is strength
When the children saw the white snow in the morning, they reached out to touch it tentatively, and then ran happily into the snow to play.

Adults who have never seen snow will also stand in the snow with a smile on their faces, stepping on the snow, with a look of freshness and curiosity on their faces.

But soon she became worried that the child might see it, so she tried to keep a straight face and pretend that it was nonchalant. However, her curious eyes could not help but stare at the snow on the roof.

The snow was not heavy, so Zhou Yang and Kong Daming ran back and forth in the village this morning, organizing people to clear the snow to prevent houses from collapsing, and to see if anyone had a headache or fever.

They had just settled down, and the New Year was just two days away, so nothing could go wrong. Otherwise, if the people in Taohua Village found out, they would definitely think that they were not doing their job well.

Junji Mountain is far away from Junji Town. There are currently only three villages in this area: Taohua Village, Shangcun and Xiacun.

In order to facilitate daily purchases for people from the upper and lower villages, Taohua Village built two wooden houses at the entrance of the village.

It not only serves as the gatekeeper of the village, but also serves as a convenience store, selling some things to people from the upper and lower villages.

The two villages purchase chickens, ducks, fish, meat, grains and vegetables collectively, so not only are the prices favorable, but every household gets the same, so no one will be jealous of anyone else.

Zhou Yang had been busy all morning. He just returned home and sat down. After drinking half a bowl of hot water, he remembered something and hurried out again.

"Clang clang clang."

When the familiar bell rang, people from every household, no matter what they were doing, would happily go out after hearing it.

It’s finally time to go shopping again.

In the open space, some people who arrived early couldn't help but ask: "Village Chief, what are we fighting for today?"

"Is there any bacon? I regret not competing with everyone for bacon last time."

Zhou Yang smiled: "Don't worry, I'll tell you one by one, there are..."

"Small yellow ginger is the best for warming up the body. I will go to Taohua Village to order it later. If anyone wants to buy it, please come and register."

"We're also going to buy some sweet potato noodles today. The minimum purchase is five kilograms. You guys can decide for yourself whether you want to buy them or not."

"The salt is still the same. A family can only buy three pounds."

"There are flour and white rice. You can buy up to ten kilograms of them. If there are seven or more people in your family, you can buy an extra five kilograms..."

This is the case in the upper village and the lower village as well.

"Village chief, is there any mutton today?" the person who spoke explained somewhat embarrassedly.

"In my hometown, we have to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. I thought that now that life is better, I would like to let the children have a taste of mutton dumplings."

Kong Daming immediately flipped through the book: "Wait a minute, I'll check it."

"Yes, the minimum purchase is six pounds of mutton, and the group size is ten. Let's see if other villagers would like to buy it together."

Upon hearing this, those who wanted to buy mutton immediately began to enthusiastically encourage the people around them.

"Is there anyone who would like to buy mutton with me? It would be so comfortable to drink a bowl of mutton soup in such a cold day..."

"Think about it, everyone. Pork is usually available for purchase, but mutton is not necessarily the same. It depends on whether it is available."

"It's Chinese New Year, so we can buy more meat and have a good meal at home."

"On snowy days, eat warm food so you'll have the energy to work in the spring."

"Is there anyone coming with us? Is there anyone?"

Under this man's enthusiastic persuasion, many people raised their hands and expressed their willingness to join in, with each contributing six kilograms or ten kilograms.

Everyone had a lot of money in their hands, and it was the New Year, so they were naturally willing to spend money on meat.

Kong Daming saw this and counted about 30 people. He nodded and said, "Okay, we can form a group. I will register you."

"Village Chief, can we fight for meatballs today?"

A woman raised her hand: "My children like fish balls and mushroom balls very much."

As soon as this was said, many women immediately echoed: "Yes, fish cakes are fine, crab sticks are also fine, my mother-in-law loves to eat crab sticks..." "My children like to eat meatballs too."

Kong Daming looked through the purchase list and nodded: "Meatballs? Yes, but this time it's for the whole family, and the minimum purchase is six pounds. See if you want them."

Family portrait means all kinds of meatballs mixed together.

The women who wanted to buy meatballs only hesitated for a second or two before deciding to buy them. When the time came, they would buy them back and there would be no need to worry about wasting them as there were so many people at home.

Peach Blossom Village.

The decorated Taohua Village has a dreamy and fairy-tale feel amidst the falling snow.

After breakfast, Bai Tao had nothing to do, so she took the village children to play snowball fights.

To be precise, she stood on a half-meter-high wooden stake and directed two groups of children to have a snowball fight.

After all, Bai Tao is the lady of Taohua Village. Anyone who dares to disrespect her, even by throwing a snowball at her, is afraid that she will be hurt, so she became the referee.

Bai Tao was too lazy to run around, and she would never move her legs if she could move her mouth.

So, while she was drinking ginger milk from her thermos, she started cheering for both sides.

"Hurry up and hit them, they are all exposed."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my hand was a little slow, I missed it."

With the mall there, it was easy for Bai Tao to determine who was "killed" after being hit, which also attracted the children's exclamations of admiration.

My aunt is so capable that even without seeing what was happening behind the house, she was able to make the correct judgment without any error.

The 'killed' children squatted obediently on the sidelines, drinking ginger ale and milk. Even when they saw their side losing, they didn't dare to speak anxiously.

Because the 'dead' cannot speak, otherwise points will be deducted. If too many points are deducted, your side will automatically fail.

Bai Tao was acting as a referee while giving on-site instruction: "You need to have a strategy, not just act recklessly."

"Use your brain and take advantage of the terrain."

"Counterattack. Remember, offense is the best defense."

"Over and over again, the third time is enough, that's the truth."

"Morale is very important. Yes, morale must be high at all times. Otherwise, the battle will be half lost before it even starts."

"..."

"Red team, you are at a disadvantage now. If you don't find an opportunity, you will lose to the blue team. Then you will have to give your big chicken leg to the other team today."

"Hey, not bad, not bad. The Red Team actually seized the opportunity and successfully counterattacked when they were in a weak position."

Bai Tao praised: "This shows something. Yes, the importance of being bold and careful. Never give up easily at any time."

When it comes to playing snowball fights, there are only so many different ways to play them, and Bai Tao is the only one who can do it.

"...Unity is strength. This strength is iron, strength is steel..."

After Bai Tao finished drinking her ginger milk, the children finished their snowball fight.

Facing the children's expectant gazes, Bai Tao put her hands on her hips and announced in a baby voice, "Two to two, a tie."

Children are all competitive.

As soon as she finished speaking, a little kid immediately begged, "Auntie, it's still early, can we play another game?"

They were so close to capturing the enemy's position just now.

Come on, come on, here I come
