Chapter 307: Survival in the Last Days (47)
Qing Soul and Qing He, one sat next to his grandfather, and the other sat next to his grandmother, serving as a military advisor to the second elder. From time to time, the second elder won a lot of money, and the two old men were amused, with smiles on their faces.
Some people in their family went out to pay New Year's greetings, and there were also people in the family who came to pay New Year's greetings, but in the end, it was not more lively than in previous years, and there were not many people who came. The fruits and sugar melon seeds that the family managed to put together didn't give much out.
waited until eight o'clock when no one came over, and the sister-in-law and second aunt who were at home also came, so they simply got together with Qing Soul and Qing He to have a table of friends.
Qing Soul handed cards to the second aunt and sister-in-law, causing Qing He to lose all the red envelopes before giving up.
After playing for two hours, the third aunt was about to prepare lunch, and their table was over, and the sister-in-law and the second aunt also went to the kitchen to help.
The people in the village have been busy chopping wood, building ice walls and clearing snow, and finally they are idle, and the gentlemen who went out at home have stayed in the village to play cards and have not returned. It wasn't until it was almost lunch time that I went home together.
Seeing that the expressions on Brother Yan's faces were not bad, Qing Soul knew that there were no more deaths in the village in the past few days. It's hard to talk about this in the New Year, but no one asks. But I was relieved after all.
If you stay at home until the fifth day of the new year, the year is over.
Brother Yan and his brothers began to get busy again.
For such a long time, two-thirds of the ice and snow wall has been enclosed, and another third is considered complete. Seeing that the New Year has passed, and the weather has not picked up, this wall has to be built.
And the coffins for several deceased people also began to be beaten.
Ann said that it is really inappropriate to do this in the New Year, but now this situation, isn't it special? And no one pays attention to that.
But this coffin is ready, and there is no paint to paint the coffin, so it can only be done.
After it is finished, it is left to dry, and when the first month passes, it will be buried.
To the surprise of the family, on the fifteenth day, Qingwu took Zhong Gu home in the afternoon.
This made a large family very happy.
Although I can get in touch from time to time, and I report safety on the phone, I haven't seen anyone, who can rest assured?
Now that I can go home safely, I can really let go of my heart.
Knowing that Qingwu was back, Brother Yan, who was busy outside, put down what he was doing and ran back.
The third aunt made a big bowl of shredded chicken noodles for Qingwu and Zhonggu in distress, and asked the two of them to eat first.
Qingwu and Zhonggu are really not hungry in the city, and they have a lot of things at home, speaking of which, they are much happier than others.
can look at a bowl of hot shredded chicken noodles, the chicken soup is golden and translucent, the shredded chicken is white and tender, with a few green vegetables, before he opened his mouth, he felt that his mouth was full of saliva, and there were a few plates of refreshing pickled crispy radish on the side.
The third aunt was distressed: "I also said that I didn't suffer outside, and I didn't lack food or clothing, if this is the case, where can I watch a bowl of noodles become like this?" It's all good news and not bad news. If you can be at home, don't go back to the city. I see, the snow can't stop for a while, it can't melt. ”
Heavy snow has been falling for a few days and stopping for a few days. There has never been a big break.
Qingwu waited for a bowl of noodles to finish before he replied: "It's really not short of food or clothing, I live in the villa of my eldest brother's house, and I don't suffer from the cold, but this is not ...... I am two big men with Dagu, I just don't lack anything, and I don't have your mother's skills, right? Besides, there is no shortage of food, but there is no green vegetables. By the way, Mom, where did this green vegetable come from? Now in the city, a pound of vegetables can be sold for 50 yuan, believe it or not? ”
The third aunt said: "Your little sister Qingqing planted it in the greenhouse built in our backyard." Recently, the village activity center, as well as a large greenhouse built in another house, have also been planted with vegetables, to say that it is the same as before, then it can't be done, but our family really won't be unable to eat vegetables. Don't worry, Mom will give you a fried plate of vegetables every day in the future. I'll give you a good answer. By the way, son, what do you and this young man want to eat at night? Tell Mom, Mom will do it for you. ”
Qingwu was really sad to see her mother, and had the heart to tease her: "Ouch, listen to your mother, what does my son want to eat, you can make it for me?" Then your son and I are really welcome, ordering food with you? ”
The third aunt looked at the chilblains on her son's face and hands, and was very distressed, holding back her tears and laughing: "In the countryside, we usually live no better than in the city, but when we encounter this kind of ghost weather, it is much better than in the city." Say what you want to eat? Dragon liver and phoenix gall mother will definitely not be able to get it, but home-cooked fish and meat, Mom will make it fragrant for you. ”
When the eldest brother and they rushed back, they talked to Qingwu about the things in the city.
I've been trapped in the countryside for a few months, and I can occasionally get a little bit of news that I don't know if it's true or not, and now I can listen to Qingwu talk about the real situation, and I have a good number in my heart.
"In every neighborhood in the city, there are troops and police to maintain law and order. Occasionally, some supplies can be mobilized outside, but if you want to say that it is the same as the previous days, it must be one day and one place, and there is no comparison. But there is no shortage of food, and every family can hold a household registration book and buy a ten-day ration. But this weather is really not like food to survive. The key is that heating is a big problem. Power plants are now a top priority. Without electricity, it is difficult to heat. If the heating can't keep up, people will freeze to death, and it will be difficult to eat hot food. Then there is water, our side is not as good as the north, and a large area of water pipes is frozen and cracked, resulting in no water supply. The only way to do this is to temporarily set up a supply chain for bottled water and bottled water from the water plant. In short, all aspects are problems. Our kind of unit is the busiest. Mediation is required everywhere. However, the traffic in the city is quite smooth. I used to take care of the transportation arteries to major cities, and it wasn't until the end of the year that I was able to take care of the key villages and towns. Ouch, speaking of which, the situation in our town, when I come back, is much better than elsewhere. I see that our village is building an ice wall, and the road leading to the town in the village has also been cleared of snow. These days, the following and the city have reported that the number of people who freeze to death in each village is the smallest among all the towns in the whole city. If this stabilizes in the future, after the snow disaster, the leaders of the town are afraid that they will be promoted. ”
Qingying said on the side: "It wasn't that the eldest brother and Uncle Cheng discussed building an ice wall, organizing people to clear the snow, and then communicating with the villages, and reporting to the town leaders, that the current situation was possible." ”
Qingwu didn't expect that there was also something about his brother here: "In short, this is a good thing, the general environment is stable, and the life of our village will be safe." I'm just saying this at home, in fact, at the beginning, there have been a lot of vicious incidents. Fortunately, the army is powerful. Otherwise, it's a mess now. I heard that the situation in some places is very bad, and there have been a lot of big troubles, and I called for stabilization later. ”
The situation that Qingwu said is actually not difficult to imagine.
According to Qingsoul, the current situation is much better than she imagined. If the weather continues like this, I am afraid that the current stability will be short-lived. If you can't suppress one bullet, you will have to mess up in the future. (2nd Update)
