Chapter 86

Thanks to the medicine Jiang Rou provided, the wounded from the blizzard crisis were stabilized. Many houses had already collapsed under the weight of the heavy snow, and the snowfall showed no signs of stopping. To prevent further accidents, Secretary Li decided to have everyone congregate and act in unison, centering operations around the canteen and housing everyone in the nearby structures. Secretary Li proceeded with the arrangements: "Our young people will be responsible for continuing to clear the snow from the roads to ensure they remain passable. The women will be in charge of lighting the fires in the canteen and preparing meals, providing everyone with hot food so those working can keep up their strength. The elders will help take care of the injured educated youth; if anything happens, report it to me immediately." Everyone acknowledged the orders and set to work.
