Chapter 198: Solidarity

Chen Xuewu first questioned: "If your wife is nine months pregnant, it won't be long before she gives birth, but why did you let her travel a long distance by car?" ”

The young man explained, speaking a strong dialect of Mandarin: "My wife and I are both from Yuling, and we have been working in Beijing since we got married, and we have settled there. Now my wife is about to give birth, and my family is urging me to take her back to my hometown to give birth. Because the Spring Festival was approaching, my wife and I agreed, so we drove home in our own car. However, as soon as she got into the car, she was so sick that she vomited incessantly, and she almost turned her stomach and intestines over. I thought about it, as long as she endured it for another ten hours, she would be able to get home, but who knew that she was trapped here before she was halfway there. My wife hadn't eaten for more than a day before, and her body was suffering from low blood sugar, so she really couldn't support it now. ”

When Chen Xuewu heard this, his expression suddenly became grim, although he was not sure that the young man's words were correct, he still turned back to Juanzi and ordered, "You quickly get some bread and drinks." ”

Juanzi couldn't help but hesitate, thinking to herself, the food in the car is the food that she and her stepfather rely on to survive, if it is sent out like this, what will she do in the future? In particular, she observed the snow outside the car, and I am afraid that she will not be able to move the nest for a few days.

As soon as the young man heard that there was food in the other party's car, and the girl in the same car was reluctant to give it, he quickly took out a wallet from his pocket, and happily took out five hundred-yuan bills past Chen Xuewu and handed them to Juanzi: "Little sister, I don't want your things for nothing, buy your food at a high price." ”

Juanzi smiled bitterly: "Big brother, it's not a matter of money. Now we are trapped in this place where there is no village and no store, and we don't know when we will be able to get out. If we give you our own life-saving food. So how are we going to survive? ”

"This..." the young man looked mournful, "I have already asked for several cars before I came to you. They all said there was no food. But if my wife can't eat food anymore, I'm afraid... I'll just be kind to you, so I'll take care of us. ”

He said as he pulled a few more bills from his wallet.

Chen Xuewu said angrily at this time: "Young man, please take back your money!" ”

The young man was stunned, and subconsciously grabbed the hand with the banknote and pulled it back.

Chen Xuewu immediately asked: "If you look at it from another angle, if someone asks you for a little food, will you accept the money with a bad conscience?" ”

"This..." The young man hung his head in shame.

Chen Xuewu asked again: "Where is your wife in the car now?" ”

The young man twisted his face forward and pointed with his hand: "Across this big truck, there is a van." My wife is lying in it. ”

Chen Xuewu recalled, and immediately thought that when he went out to explore the road last night, he did find that a van was parked not far from his car.

He then turned back to Juanzi in an indisputable tone: "Bring me some ham sausages and bread." ”

Juanzi's mood was very conflicted, but she knew that she couldn't stop her stepfather in this matter, so she had to fill a food bag with two ham sausages and a loaf of bread and hand them to her stepfather.

Chen Xuewu turned the food bag in his hand, then stepped out of the car, and motioned to the young man: "I will personally send it over and visit your daughter-in-law." ”

The young man saw that the other party did not fully trust him, so he happily said, "Okay." Please come with me. ”

When Juanzi heard that the light man's van was not far away, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she opened the door and got out of the car from the other side. Ignoring the knee-deep snow, she shouted at her stepfather, "Uncle Chen, please wait." I'll go with you. ”

Chen Xuewu stopped, turned around and said angrily: "Don't come here, be careful of the snow pouring into your leather boots." ”

"It's fine. My boots were wrapped so tightly that the snow couldn't get in. ”

Chen Xuewu saw that she was too curious, so he had to follow her temperament and wait with the young man for a while.

"Girl, what are you making a fuss about?"

Chen Xuewu couldn't help frowning when he saw her petite figure struggling to walk in the knee-deep snow.

Juanzi smiled mischievously and panted as she approached her stepfather.

Chen Xuewu couldn't bear it, so he immediately turned around and took two steps, and grabbed Juanzi's little hand that was stretched out to him.

Led by her stepfather, Juanzi quickly bypassed the large truck and ran to the van, which was also covered with snow over the wheels.

At this time, although the sky was much clearer, the cold wind still occasionally blew on Juanzi's cheeks like a knife. She had to rub her ears, nose and cheek back and forth with her other small hand.

At this time, the drivers who were trapped in the car for the night also got out of the car, wanting to observe the thickness of the snow and estimate when they would be able to break out.

Chen Xuewu didn't have time to think about these things at the moment, because he was concerned about the pregnant women mentioned by the young man. He deeply knows that even if a normal person is trapped in this ice and snow, his body is extremely prone to problems, let alone a pregnant woman who is about to give birth?

The young man regarded Chen Xuewu as a benefactor at this time, and respectfully opened the rear door of the van.

Chen Xuewu and Juanzi looked over and saw a young pregnant woman lying on the seat in the van. Since those chairs have been modified to form a bed, it is just right for pregnant women to rest.

Chen Xuewu carefully looked at the pregnant woman's complexion and read that she was suffering from an unprecedented pain. One can imagine what it would be like for her body to be trapped in the carriage in a blizzard.

"Daughter-in-law, I've got something to eat for you. These two are for us. The young man looked at the pregnant woman with tears in his eyes and let out a voice of excitement.

The young pregnant woman struggled to raise her head and reluctantly nodded to Chen Xuewu and Juanzi as a sign of gratitude.

Chen Xuewu hurriedly handed the food bag in his hand to the young man: "Hurry up and feed your daughter-in-law." If that's not enough, go get it in my car again. ”

The young man gratefully took the food bag and bowed deeply to Chen Xuewu: "Thank you. You are truly my reborn parents. ”

Chen Xuewu helped him on the shoulder: "Don't be polite to us, take care of your daughter-in-law." ”

The young man's eyes moistened and he stepped into the compartment of the van.

Chen Xuewu was worried that the cold wind outside would make the pregnant woman unbearable, so he immediately helped close the car door tightly.

Juanzi's eyes moistened: "This couple is so unlucky, it would have been hard enough to go home, but I didn't expect to encounter such a situation." ”

Chen Xuewu put his hand on her shoulder at this time, and said with a smile: "Do you still blame me for helping them?" ”

Juanzi shook her head regretfully: "I'm sorry. It's all because I'm ignorant, and I'm a little too selfish. ”

Chen Xuewu hurriedly reassured: "Don't blame yourself, it's not that you don't want to help people, but you're afraid of being deceived." Actually, I suspected that the young man was making up a reason to beg for food, so I followed him to check it out. ”

Juanzi was worried again: "But we have too little food for that sister." I'm worried she's not enough to eat. ”

Chen Xuewu couldn't help but look around, and couldn't help sighing: "The current snow thickness is more than a foot, and the climate is extremely cold. I'm afraid it's hard for the snow to melt in a short period of time. So, we have to make the most difficult preparations. ”

Juanzi couldn't help but worry: "If that's the case, then aren't these drivers and people riding in the car very dangerous?" Not many of them were probably carrying food. ”

Chen Xuewu smiled bitterly: "Actually, I didn't expect such a serious traffic jam to happen, and I didn't plan to bring too much food." This is thanks to your Aunt Lee. ”

Juanzi couldn't help sighing: "Now it seems that she is simply our life-saving benefactor." ”

Chen Xuewu shook his head: "It's not enough to talk about it. After all, we are trapped on the road, not in the polar regions. So, someone must have come over to help us. ”

"Who will help us?"

Chen Xuewu smiled: "Have you forgotten that I told you about the sky-high price of instant noodles before?" ”

Juanzi smiled gloomily: "Maybe some people are looking forward to those who want to make a 'national disaster'." ”

Chen Xuewu sighed: "In this harsh climate of ice and snow, many people now need it. Therefore, there is no reason to condemn those who can 'send charcoal in need' to those who are in need, even if they collect some money that has no conscience. ”

Juanzi thought for a while, and suddenly raised her head to ask her stepfather: "Uncle Chen, we still have so much food in our car, I want to take them out and distribute them to those in need." ”

Chen Xuewu's solemn eyes suddenly fell on her: "Girl, don't you want to give those Peking ducks to your aunt and two aunts?" ”

Juanzi blinked her eyes and immediately said emotionally: "If they know that the gifts that belong to them help more people in need, they must be very gratified." ”

Chen Xuewu nodded excitedly, and stretched out his arm to wrap his arm around Juanzi's shoulder: "Girl, you have matured a lot." Although they can't eat Peking duck anymore, I think they know about it and must feel sweeter than eating them. Now that we are trapped in this icy world with these strangers, we should share weal and woe and get through the difficulties together. ”

Juanzi smiled: "Actually, I know that you just want me to say this, so you do what you like." ”

Chen Xuewu shook his head: "I think you will help those who are in a difficult situation from the bottom of your heart and from the bottom of your heart." ”

Juanzi observed the long captain of the car who couldn't see the front and back and the drivers or passengers who occasionally got out of the car, and couldn't help frowning: "Seeing so many cars and so many people, who are we going to give our limited food to?" (To be continued.) )
