Chapter 21: The Last Days of Ice Age(21)

The village chief did not come alone, but was accompanied by two members of the village committee.

The village chief is about 50 years old and has been re-elected for two consecutive terms, and has always had a lot of prestige in the village.

He chatted with Grandpa Su for a while, and then asked Su Ang if he was used to living here, and after talking about several topics, he patted the kang table made by Uncle Su specially for the stove, and said with a smile: "Your stove is a good thing!" We rarely see this, it was Su Hongwang who brought it back this time? ”

Father Su nodded.

"Although everyone was prepared for the cold wave on the news this time, who would have thought that this cold wave could run so far and come to us! We haven't had snow in recent decades, and it's still such a heavy snow, and the temperature today is more than ten degrees below zero! ”

The village chief sighed, "There are many old people in our village, and most of the children have gone out, and in the past two days, because the temperature at night is too low, there are seven or eight old people who have left. If this temperature keeps going like this, I'm really afraid that other people won't be able to stand it! ”

The Su family didn't answer, they all knew that the village chief didn't come to talk to them.

The drunkard doesn't mean to drink.

The village chief didn't feel embarrassed, he took a sip of hot tea and turned his head to look at Father Su.

"I heard that Hongwang came back this time and brought a truckload of things, did you hear something outside? I read the news that many places in the north have lost contact because of the heavy snowstorm, and we are all okay this time. ”

Father Su nodded, and said with a happy face, "Well, a friend told me that this cold wave will be very strong, I thought that my hometown would be warm, so I took my wife and children back to avoid it, but I didn't expect the snow to be so heavy, but fortunately I came back!" ”

"yes, I'm glad I'm back, but I don't know what will happen when I'm outside. By the way, I heard that your family Su Chen didn't come back? ”

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Su's eyes immediately turned red, and seeing the silent appearance of the Su family, the village chief sighed again.

"Don't talk about Su Chen, there are few children in the village who can be contacted outside, and everyone is very worried. However, your Su Chen has been well-behaved since he was a child, and Jiren has his own natural appearance, so he must be fine! ”

Grandpa Su tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Then thank the village chief for his auspicious words." ”

The village chief patted Grandpa Su on the shoulder, and finally said what he meant.

"You also know that most of our village are old people and children, before the news asked everyone to prepare cold materials, many old people do not have this awareness, especially thick clothes and thick quilts, such a cold day, how can everyone survive? So I'm here to ask if you have any more to come up with. ”

Father Su and Uncle Su glanced at each other, their guess came true, and the village chief came over in person.

Seeing that they didn't speak, the village chief smiled again, "Of course, it's definitely not for you to take it for nothing, we will pay for it." It's all from the same village, is it possible to watch them freeze to death and starve to death? ”

"Look at what you are talking about, village chief, of course we are not such cold-blooded people!"

Uncle Su said: "But you see that our family also has so much, and we also need a lot of things, and there are really not many things that can be taken out." ”

Seeing what the village chief wanted to say, Uncle Su waved his hand, "Village chief, after listening to me, although we can't take out much, we are also willing to do our part." I have an idea, you can see how it is. ”

"What thoughts?"

"That's right, there are twenty or thirty households in our village, and we still have a few electric ovens, but it is impossible for each family to have one. I thought, what do you think about bringing everyone together, living together, taking care of each other, and getting through the difficult times together? ”

Uncle Su's words made the village chief fall into deep thought, and he had no choice but to come.

In the past two days, seven or eight people have froze to death, and one is a child who is only four or five years old, and he is not with the old people in the family.

As he said, everyone didn't take the cold wave too seriously, and even his family just bought some food, and how much cold materials were really prepared!

Who knew the temperature would drop so quickly?

If this continues, I don't know how many people will freeze to death!

Uncle Su is not unreasonable, bringing everyone together, not only can the limited resources be fully utilized, but also can take care of each other.

After all, compared to the city, they know each other in the neighborhood, and they are still a family!

"Okay! That's a good idea, it's good for everyone! I'll go back and think about how to arrange it and plan it well. ”

Seeing that the village chief agreed, Uncle Su smiled and continued: "As for the village chief, you just said to buy it, then you don't need it, and it's not worth a few dollars, it's just that it's not much." ”

This is also the method that Uncle Su and Grandpa Su discussed today, instead of becoming the target of everyone in the village, it is better to take the initiative to come up with something.

First, it is also a neighbor and a villager, and it is a hand to be able to help, and secondly, the initiative is also in your own hands.

Seeing that Uncle Su was so knowledgeable, the village chief was also very satisfied

When he came today, he was still thinking about what he should do if the Su family didn't want to, but he didn't expect it to be solved so easily.

"It's not good if you don't want money, when the time comes, I'll let each family take something out and give it to you, and it will be regarded as an expense."

After talking about this matter, Uncle Su also deliberately took the village chief and a few people to the basement to take a look, where there were some easy-to-store foods except for some small appliances and clothes and quilts, and there was nothing special.

Uncle Su also said that he would take out some down jackets and give them to the old people in the village.

Before leaving, the village chief looked at their house and said with a smile: "You have a lot of family, so I won't arrange anyone to come to your house when the time comes." ”

Uncle Su smiled and handed a few bags containing some small items to the village chief and the people from the village committee who came with him, "Then it will trouble the village chief, it is really hard to work so hard for the village on such a cold day." ”

"It should be, it should be."

When the three of them left, Su Hao pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Why should we give our family's things to others!" ”

Uncle Su knocked Su Hao's head hard, "What do you know about the children?" We have to do this if we want to get through this time safely! ”

Su Hao rubbed the place where he was knocked, secretly rolled his eyes, and muttered, "Hmph, sycophant." ”

Without waiting for Uncle Su to get angry, Su Hao jumped and ran to the second floor, and by the way, he also pulled Xingyun up.

Yaya glanced at the people in the living room and chased after them.

Su Hao took Xingyun to a floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, took out a cushion and sat on the ground, looking out through the window.

The sky and the earth were white, and only the three village chiefs were holding umbrellas and walking in the snow with difficulty.

Su Hao snorted coldly, "Today I have seen what it is to fight the autumn wind, and there is such a blatant person looking for something to ask for, my father is really, he actually gave it so quickly, and he didn't charge money!" ”

"Uncle is right to do this."

Hearing Xingyun's words, Su Hao was shocked, "Isn't it Su Xue, do you think you should give it too?" Why! ”
