Chapter 85 Going Down the Stairs

However, Xia Zhi quickly put the matter behind her and started to cut clothes according to the size.

With many years of experience, it is very easy to operate in practice.

Anyway, the materials for the down jacket have not been delivered yet, so she cut out the Zhongshan suit first.

This gray cloth is really suitable for Zhongshan suits.

But I don’t know why Zhou Zhengan didn’t come to their cave to eat these two days.

Even Liu Qianjin was looking forward to Captain Zhou’s coming, mainly because Captain Zhou’s food was too high quality.

She was busy for two days, and Zhou Zhengan had sent people to deliver all the duck down and cloth brought back from Director Wang.

But he still didn’t come.

Liu Zhiyan looked at Xia Zhi who was busy cutting cloth there and asked.

“Xia Zhi, did you quarrel with Captain Zhou? Why didn’t Captain Zhou come to our cave to eat these two days?”

Since the first day they moved into the cave, Captain Zhou came rain or shine, even if it was snowing heavily.

It was strange when Captain Zhou would not come to the cave to eat.

Xia Zhi shook his head and lowered his head to cut the fabric seriously.

"No? How could I quarrel with him?"

"If we didn't quarrel, why didn't Captain Zhou come?"

"Maybe Captain Zhou is busy these two days."

Xia Zhi didn't take it seriously and was busy making his down jacket.

Not to mention the duck down that Director Wang found, the quality is really good. This big sack of duck down is enough to make ten or eight down jackets, not to mention one down jacket.

He specially picked out the best fine down.

Sew it into the clothes, and then sew a special grid pattern. Xia Zhi was very careful and serious when making it.

The clothes are ready.

Xia Zhi finished the clothes in three days, and the zipper was already installed. If the hat is added with a fur collar, it will be more suitable.

In order to be perfect, Xia Zhi decided to take Liu Qianjin out for a walk. If he was lucky enough to meet a hare, it would be considered a good fortune.

Rabbit skin is just right for the windproof fur of the brim of the hat.

I don't want to think about the fox skin, they don't have the ability to catch foxes.

Xia Zhi ran to the side to find Liu Qianjin with great interest.

The day before yesterday, when he heard about going out to hunt rabbits, he immediately became energetic, put on his thick clothes and carried the firewood stick he always carried.

"Xiao Xia, although it's not snowing now, it's a bit cold and windy outside. Can we catch rabbits? What if we encounter wolves?"

"It's okay, we'll just wander around nearby, and we won't go far. If we can't find them, forget it. Just treat it as exercise."

Xia Zhi was naturally not prepared to go out in such windy weather and freeze, although he had already made a cotton coat for himself and Liu Qianjin.

But in this weather, not only is the body cold, but the feet and legs are also cold.

Especially since it snowed two days ago, the snow is not even up to the ankles now.

The two had just walked out of the dugout, and they saw a figure in the distance not far away.

"Captain Zhou!"

This was the first time Xia Zhi had seen Zhou Zhengan in the past few days.

Maybe it was because the two of them didn't know why they were having a quarrel, and Xia Zhi himself was confused.

When he saw Zhou Zhengan, he instinctively distanced himself from him. He didn't call Zhou Zhengan's name, but called him Captain Zhou instead.

"Go and inform all the educated youth that the cattle of the third brigade were lost in the snowstorm. These cattle are raised by our six brigades together.

There are 500 cattle in total.

This is collective property. No matter what, the cattle must not be allowed to get into trouble. Now everyone must go out to find the cattle, including the educated youth.

Tell everyone to put on thick clothes. I will send people to form several teams with our comrades to set out to find the cattle."

Zhou Zhengan said so many words with a serious expression.

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but then she reacted.

She had seen this kind of thing a lot when she was in the reclamation area.

The cattle are collective property and are very important.

Once they get lost in the snowstorm, the comrades in the reclamation area will go out to find them.

No one can avoid it, because cattle are more important than people.

Xia Zhi nodded, turned around and walked back.

"Captain Zhou, I will notify them to gather at the team headquarters immediately."

Liu Qianjin scratched his head and hurriedly followed Xia Zhi back.

Half an hour later, everyone at the entrance of the brigade had assembled. Except for a certain number of people who stayed here, everyone else had to set off.

"We will form a total of 30 teams and set off according to the route on this map. There will be a special comrade to lead you.

Each team is only responsible for its own route. If it is not found, return by the original route.

Count the number of people and protect your teammates."

Zhou Zhengan handed out the list in his hand and asked each captain to name his own people to go.

Zhou Zhengan hesitated for a moment, but still glanced at Xia Zhi.

"Xia Zhi, you come with me."

Xia Zhi smiled when she heard this.

Comrade Zhou Zhengan has been ignoring her these days, and she doesn't know what's wrong.

Unexpectedly, the golden thigh deliberately gave her a way out.

With the way out, she will definitely go down, that's for sure.

She agreed crisply.

"Yes, Captain Zhou."

Zhou Zhengan's serious expression cracked slightly when he turned around, but the corners of his mouth still curled up involuntarily.

Why would this woman agree so happily?

Will being with me make her so happy?

But then came chaos.

They certainly couldn't drive to find the cattle, they had to walk.

Zhou Zhengan led the team in front.

They not only had to find the cattle, but also carry the hay with them.

Bring it to the cattle that had been lost for two days and one night.

And break the ice on the ponds so that the cattle can drink water.

They also had to find the lost calves to prevent them from freezing.

Ensure that the cattle are moved to a more sheltered area when the weather is bad again.

And every team needs to do this, these cattle will not be kept in the cattle pen.

So this is the only way to ensure that these cattle will survive this winter.

Once they encounter a blizzard here, these cattle want to survive safely, they have to rely on themselves.

Human power cannot compete, especially no cattle pen can contain 500 cattle.

Preparations for winter have been made, but there are always losses in the cattle every year. I just hope that many of these 500 cattle will survive this year.

The next cold front is coming soon.

They must find the cattle before then.

According to the weather forecast, the situation this time is very serious. They have two days of warning time and must gather everyone's strength to protect the cattle.

The wind stopped when they went out.

But there was no cold wind, and the temperature was still biting.

Usually they set out in teams of eight people.

Each person carried hay and daily supplies on his back.

They walked towards the area where the cattle might move according to the established route.

The eight people walked silently, looking at the weight on their shoulders, and said nothing.

On the white snow, they were like black dots.
