When I accompanied Angel to the school to participate in the donation day event two days ago, the weather was still warm and sunny, but it could change at any time.
Yesterday afternoon, the sky darkened in a short period of time, followed by a cold wind of level 4 or 5.
In the evening, snowflakes the size of fingernails also fell overwhelmingly.
The ground quickly turned white, and within half an hour there was an ankle-deep layer of snow.
Fortunately, in winter, the cattle grazing in the pasture are not far from the cowshed, and when the weather changes, the experienced cowboys drive the cattle back to the cowshed to escape the cold snow.
I encountered a heavy snowfall in Michigan a few years ago, but when I got up, the snow had stopped.
So in real terms, the last time I saw such heavy snowfall was during the days of Thanksgiving, more than a month after that.
Here, there have been a few snowfalls intermittently, but they are either too brief or too stingy to enjoy the snow and play in it.
Therefore, this severe snowfall in mid-January of the new year really satisfied the expectations of everyone in the ranch.
Or squeeze into the sofa to watch the annual comedy, or sit around on the carpet in front of the fireplace to play cards, or even enjoy tea and soup, the falling snow filling the sky and earth outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is an indispensable scenery in everyone's eyes.
However, it was enjoyable to watch in the evening and night, but early the next morning, the calf-deep snow also brought unavoidable trouble to Qin Yi and other men.
Well, hard work like clearing snow will always be a man's job After waving a wooden shovel to clear the small area of snow at the door, Qin Yi and Ryan, who came over, drove their snowplow trucks and started busy.
An hour later, they finally cleared the living area and the road leading outside.
Clean it out.
Qin Yi was so exhausted that he was sweating.
Angel and the animals were having fun, running around in the snow.
The little girl finally put on skis and a helmet, and put teddy, kittens and a group of puppies on them.
Get on the rope.
Let the animals pull her back and forth Well, this girl doesn't even bother to use ski poles anymore, and uses her skis as a simple sled.
Qin Yi stopped doing the snow clearing work in the morning.
Only Lane and Hobbs were asked to represent Sun River Ranch and drive the snow plow to clear the roads outside the ranch.
By the way, they also cleared the streets of the town.
In fact, apart from being a bit boring, snow removal work is also very relaxing.
Just drive the snow plow on the road once On a snowy day, Rachel was worried that Ryan and Susie would feel deserted, so Qin Yi simply invited everyone to the main room and gathered together to eat hot pot.
The warmth of the fireplace, the spiciness of the hot pot, and the lively atmosphere made her Everyone had a great time in this snowy day Of course, Susa and Rachel had nothing to do with spicy food, and the fragrant clear soup was what they wanted.
However, after restricting their diet for so long, they were very greedy.
They always want to secretly taste the spicy taste.
God, they feel like they are about to forget the memory of spicy food.
But everyone was paying attention to them.
They stretched out their chopsticks several times without success.
Qin's mother even said with a serious face: "I don't want the baby anymore."
The two women could only give up in confusion, but they both whispered in their hearts: After the baby is born, they must eat and drink a lot for a month, so as to make up for all the delicious food that they want to eat but cannot eat at once.
It's a pity that no matter how cruel it is, it will only be a few months later.
Right now, just bear with it.
Just after lunch, while everyone was sitting and chatting together, Qin Yi received a call from Mayor Marcus.
The family was invited to participate in the competition.
After careful inquiry, I found out that in order to welcome the first heavy snowfall of the new year, the town planned to hold a competition called "Charge the Minotaur" tomorrow morning.
The rules of the competition are that each family selects two contestants to compete, and the contestants must wear a Minotaur helmet that will be provided during the game.
There are no other requirements.
The player lies down on a two-meter-diameter circular skateboard.
At the top of the two-meter-high and five-meter-long slope, he was pushed down by the second player and slid out.
However, the second player must jump on the skateboard within two seconds of sliding, otherwise a second attempt will be made; during the sliding period, except for the skateboard, the two players are not allowed to touch the slide in any way or through any medium, otherwise, a second attempt will be made. .
Each family has two chances to change contestants midway, but if both attempts fail, they will be disqualified.
There is a finish line five meters away from the bottom of the front of the slope slide.
The top ten families with the shortest distance between the final stop position and the finish line will win.

At that time, the winner will receive a Minotaur Warrior Trophy, carved from wood.
After Qin Yi understood this, he thought it was quite interesting, so he agreed to participate.
Occasionally, he would go crazy with his family, which was also a good entertainment project.
However, considering the final reward, he felt that a trophy might not be attractive enough, so he changed the reward to: in addition to the trophy, the top ten winning families will also receive a free one-day trip to Angel Farm.
By doing this, he is equivalent to sponsoring this competition.
However, one family's day on the farm only costs tens or hundreds of dollars, and ten groups of families only costs several hundred dollars.
To him, this is not worth mentioning at all.
After talking about the matter, everyone was very interested and said that they would go with them tomorrow.
Ke Luo and An Qier were even more excited.
They divided up the participating places in a few words.
In this way, the Qin family army will send two female generals in tomorrow's competition. go to war Early the next morning, when Qin Yi and others arrived at the town square, they found that it had been decorated.
In addition to the snow-covered slope, there is also a snow path extending from the bottom of the slope.
The snow path is four meters wide and ten meters long.
It is about 20 centimeters above the ground.
The two sides are sandwiched with wooden boards to prevent the snow path from being deformed during the competition. .
Whether it is a slope or a snow track, it is made of a large amount of snow.
It is like crushed ice shards pressed together.
The surface is hard and smooth, which is very suitable for sliding.
It will not make people feel like fluffy snow. sink in Hundreds of people quickly gathered in the small square, most of them similar to Qin Yi's family.
All the young and old came out and regarded this temporary play as a festival.
Speaking of snowy days, staying at home is really boring, so it is normal to go out and join in the fun. .
After Marcus held up the electric horn and shouted a few words, the game started quickly.
The first group of families to come forward were Teacher Linna and her sister Marlene.
Lina has been a teacher for most of the children in the town, so she is very popular.
When the sisters appeared, they immediately attracted cheers, especially some single young men who whistled and clapped in an attempt to attract the sisters, obviously planning a life-long career. idea It's a pity that the Linna sisters only focus on the competition.
The huge round skateboard is like a frying pan.
Lina, who wears a cow-head hat, has a nervous smile and a red face.
Sitting on it is like a delicacy being cooked.
It makes people drool.
The two-meter slope was still a bit exciting.
The girl closed her eyes and didn't dare to look.
She screamed and was pushed down by her sister Marin.
Marin's little feet in short boots jumped on Lina, and her two The sisters hugged each other, but somehow they didn’t fall off the skateboard.
"Ah wow" Sliding down quickly, Lina shrank her head in fear, while Marin climbed up and sat up excitedly.
The two sisters laughed and shouted, and quickly rushed to the bottom of the snow track, finally stopping about two meters away from the finish line.
One group of participating families made it and got off to a pretty good start.
The mayor Marcus also decided to take the lead, so he led his grandson to the stage happily.
The seven or eight-year-old kid was sitting on the frying pan.
Marcus pushed hard and then strode over.
However, his feet were too fast and he couldn't keep up.
So he lay on his back and fell flat on the slope with a thud. , unable to stop and continuing to slide downwards Panpan and his grandson, however, were pushed and kicked by him and flew out.
Amidst the excited screams of the little guy, they not only crossed the finish line at an extremely fast speed, but also slid ten meters away. long snow run After spending a few leisurely days, Qin Yi was almost inert.
After receiving the news from Miles, he had to fly to Minnesota.
The Timberwolves' acquisition had made some progress, but its boss, Tai Lun, You have to meet with him to finalize the agreement
