Chapter Forty-Six: Passing Years and Crossing in the Dark, Undisturbed

The people in the village got the news that their small mountain village has been completely cut off from the outside world, and it can be said that they are in a state of isolation, although some time ago, Fang Jiefang asked everyone to go to the town to buy more candles and coal and other fuels to come back, but everyone didn't take it seriously, after all, during this Chinese New Year, they were all busy preparing for the New Year, who would have thought of this.

But this sudden snowstorm made the villagers panic, it also snowed in previous years, but it was not very big, otherwise it would have stopped with the next heavy snowfall, but I have never seen the next heavy snow like this, and it didn't look like it stopped outside through the glass of the window.

There is also a commissary in the village, and Fang Yuxi's family runs a grocery store, but they only store things for half a month on weekdays, and then his father drives outside to wholesale, and when the Chinese New Year is approaching, there is nothing left in the store.

When Fang Ning passed by Fang Yuxi's house, he deliberately poked his head out to take a look, his house's not too big hut was crowded with people, and everyone was rushing to buy food and candles.

"Aunt Lan, it's really gone...... Don't squeeze any more!" Fang Yuxi's figure quickly disappeared into the hustle and bustle of the crowd.

The panicked villagers did not leave their house with a sigh until they were sure that there was nothing to buy.

Fang Ning took an umbrella and parked it in his yard, the snowflakes fluttered outside, and the entire field farmhouse was snow-white.

Fang Yuxi pinched his face, rubbed his hands and breathed until his body was warm, and then said with a smile: "I still have some candles and instant noodles at home, you can take them away later, I don't want your money." ”

The relationship between their family and Fang Ning's family is not bad, it is the kind that cannot be offended by any side, his grandfather Yu has a good relationship with Fang Jiefang and Fang Hanmin, and his father and Fang Flexible and the two sons of the village chief are also good, and in Fang Yuxi's generation, he is even more mixed with Fang Ning and Fang Kongzhang.

It's just that Fang Ning doesn't like the sleek and sophisticated nature of their family prostitution, so he usually rarely interacts with Fang Yuxi unless he has something.

"Thanks, I have it at home. Fang Ning declined his kindness and said with a little meaning, "Your family has made enough money this time, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Fang Yuxi said vaguely, "They are all neighbors, but it's a pity that we don't have much inventory at home, it's a pity." ”

He rolled his eyes, he really couldn't bear to poke it, when Father Qin passed by him just now, he asked a little, Fang Yuxi's family sold a pack of candles for thirty yuan, and the candles that usually cost two cents a piece were sold for five cents a piece, but fortunately, although the price was a little scary, it was not to the point of madness.

Fang Ning estimated that the streets of the county town were also in a state of power outage, and there must be many vendors on the streets who seized the opportunity to sell candles, as if some people had sold candles for 50 yuan a pack.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Fang Ning.

Grandpa went to the village for a meeting, and several major village cadres came over to discuss how to use the cart of supplies.

Although some people want to fight the idea of this material, they are still a little sensible, after all, it is very unwise to have a conflict with Fang Jiefang and Fang Quanfang brothers for this thing.

Fang Jiefang is the person elected by the village chief to take charge of village affairs, in essence, he and the village chief are people in the same line, as for Fang Quanfang, although he is not a police officer, but he also has a little power in the village, if you really want to find something to find you some small shoes to wear, you can't do it.

The two sons of the village chief had some thoughts, but there was an old father above them, and their thoughts became unthinkable.

In the end, the result of the discussion came, after all, Fang Ning's family's materials were also bought with money, and they couldn't take other people's things for nothing, right? Fang Jiefang said that the materials in this extraordinary period were indeed precious, but they were only half percent higher than the original price.

For example, the original price of a pack of candles was two yuan, and now the candles in Fang Yuxi's house are sold for thirty yuan, while the candles in Fang Ning's house are only sold for ten yuan.

At noon, Fang Longxing's family came, after all, there were also materials he spent money to buy, some time ago, because Fang Ni beat the village chief, and then ran away and was arrested, he was directly imprisoned for more than three months, now it's good, don't worry about not having enough clothes and food in prison.

Fang Longxing exchanged pleasantries with Fang Jiefang and Fang Hanmin, and left in a hurry with several large boxes of supplies, he also had to go to Hongjia Village, Shangpoling, and Dazhou to make a lot of money in the nearby villages.

Fang Ning was very curious about how he would go to other villages, after all, the roads between villages were frozen by snow, and the transportation was inconvenient.

In the afternoon, the village chief counted the population of the village, a total of 21 households, more than 120 people, to solicit opinions, and those who were willing to come to buy candles, quilts, instant noodles, antibiotics, rice and other earthquake relief materials came to the village chief's house.

Originally, Fang Jiefang and Xiao Ye thought that there were not many people coming, but they didn't expect that many people came, densely packed, and it took an afternoon of tossing in the heavy snow to distribute all the supplies, exhausted, but very happy.

"Some people say I'm stupid, what do you think?" Fang Jiefang said to his brother on the way back.

The young master paused for a moment and shook his head, "I'm not stupid." ”

"Hehe, no, I'm really stupid, I don't take such an opportunity to get rich, but I have to be worthy of my conscience. Fang Jiefang twitched his nose that was red from cold, and said with a smile.

Fang Ning's family all got together, and Aunt Fang Lan also lived in their house, she was really unlucky, just when she was packing her luggage and preparing to go back to her hometown, she encountered this heavy snowfall, and she could only stay in a small mountain village.

Fang Ning and Fang Wei took the white dog to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden, the vegetable field was covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, and they felt that there were basically no vegetables.

"Brother, what else is in this vegetable garden?" Fang Wei looked around, but didn't see anything.

"Some vegetables are still very tenacious, such as this ......" Fang Ning used a field hoe to cut through the thick ice and snow, under the cover of the ice and snow, he could see the carrots and leaves in the permafrost shrinking into a ball, he pulled out three or four casually and threw them in the vegetable basket, and then bent his waist to look for it on the other side, turning over the ice and snow layer, he could see patches of spinach verdant. He said: "Like these vegetables, they can still survive in such bad weather, of course, the others are almost frozen to death, okay, carrots, spinach, coriander, ask Aunt Lan to make us a hot pot to eat tonight!"

"Okay, yes, I like to eat hot pot the most!" Fang Wei was very happy.

In the evening, the family lit candles, baked charcoal around the fire wall, and ate steaming hot pot, so they spent this seemingly peaceful but uneventful New Year.
