The New Year has arrived.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and her companions welcomed their first year at Kenqing Farm amidst the heavy snowfall.
This year, the snow is exceptionally heavy, trapping them on the mountain.
It has snowed five times consecutively, and each snowfall was substantial.
Tomorrow is New Year's Day.
For them, it's the first New Year spent away from home, but also a New Year in isolation.
After the heavy snow blocked the mountains, communication between outsiders and insiders was cut off.
The telephone line was snapped by the initial strong wind and heavy snow, and no one has come to repair it.
According to the forest farm manager, such storms are common for them, so it's okay if the phone line is disconnected.
As long as there's food and drink, and they can survive, that's all that matters.
The biggest impact of consecutive heavy snowstorms is that they can't go up the mountain, can't hunt, and certainly can't chop wood.
Fortunately, everyone was prepared in advance.
