Chapter 39 The Zhou family also came to borrow food
The blizzard did not stop, so he could only continue to stay at the post station, and after one night, more than a dozen people died. Yesterday there were people chatting back and forth, chatting in groups, but now almost everyone is silent.
This is the true picture of refugees.
Looking at the snow, Li Wei was also very melancholy.
Some people can't wait any longer, there is no food, the snow is too big to go out to find food, and if they stay here, they will starve to death if they don't freeze to death. Since they are all dead, it is better to go out and seek a chance of survival.
As a result, some people began to consider continuing their journey to Tongchuan.
Li Wei didn't leave, if you go out in this weather, you will definitely die, here, as long as there are no avalanches and landslides, you can live.
Soon, half of the people who had settled at the post station were gone, and the remaining half froze to death by the next morning.
On the morning of the third day, more than a dozen froze to death, and whether they stayed or left, everyone became more and more panicked.
Gu Fugui couldn't stay any longer, if the snow kept falling, he could only sit and eat here. He wanted to take a gamble.
Li Wei was also in a hurry, but she looked at the weather forecast, and there were at least three days left in the blizzard.
Gu Fugui couldn't wait any longer, so he decided to take the family to set off against the wind and snow. When the people of Dahe Village saw Gu Fugui leaving, many people followed them, including Gu Dazhuang and Gu Xiaozhuang's family.
There are fewer and fewer people at the post station, but people are still freezing to death every day, and the people who remain are getting more and more dish.
The mood of the Gu family is also getting lower and lower, and everyone knows that the situation is not good.
Looking at the boring faces, Li Wei walked to the back of the post station, praying that the snow would stop sooner.
But after standing for a while, the snow on his coat was already all over, and he turned around and was about to leave, when he stepped on it and saw a little green leaf.
Kick the snow away again, and there is a radish underneath.
Hurry up and let a few people come to dig radishes.
Those who hadn't left yet, when they saw that there were turnips, also came to dig them.
Washing the radish white with snow, long and fat, Li Wei's heart seems to have a light, as long as she is not starved to death and frozen to death, there is hope.
Li Wei asked Lin Dahong to take out the big pot at home, then take half a piece of bacon and cut it into diced meat, boiled a large pot of bacon and radish soup, and put it in the middle of the post station, everyone can scoop a bowl of soup to drink.
On a cold day, a bowl of hot soup warms everyone's hearts.
Zhou Chunxiu drank the soup, and calculation flashed in his eyes.
"Mother, how much food do we have left?"
Li Wei glanced at Zhou Chunxiu, her eyes flashing with displeasure.
"Why, your mother's family has food, and I plan to make up for it."
Zhou Chunxiu was stunned? =, the Zhou family also settled down, they came out this time with little food, and they persisted for a few days, and now they are exhausted.
Although Zhou Chunxiu was very dissatisfied with them, after all, he was his own brother and brother, and he couldn't watch them starve to death.
Besides, why can she get half a bag of brown rice in the second and third rooms, and her two brothers can't give it?
Moreover, she saw that Li Wei was not panicked at all, and she looked confident, so she felt that there must be a lot of food in the baskets on the cart.
But now before he could speak, he was blocked by the old woman.
Zhou Chunxiu secretly scolded in her heart, Li Wei was too treacherous, it seemed that she could only be sorry for her brother and sister-in-law, it was not that she didn't help, but she couldn't do anything.
Who knows, at this moment, the eldest brother, second brother, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law of the Zhou family came with a bowl of radish soup.
"It's still the in-laws who will live, don't say it, your shed is really good, and the wind can't blow at all when you sit inside."
"It's better than in the inn, where the windows are leaking."
The sister-in-law of the Zhou family looked at the Gu family's shed and said with envy.
Uninvited, the eyes were still meowing left and right, the Gu family in the shed was unhappy, and Zhou Chunxiu was also embarrassed.
"In-laws, thanks to you, we can still drink a bowl of radish soup today."
"Drink more if it's good, there's still in the pot outside." Li Wei said lukewarmly.
Sister-in-law Zhou drank soup while giving Zhou Chunxiu a look, where would Zhou Chunxiu dare to ignore her sister-in-law, deliberately bowing her head and pretending not to see.
Seeing that the sister-in-law was unreliable, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family simply came by herself.
"In-laws, in fact, we are here to discuss something with you."
After the sister-in-law of the Zhou family finished speaking, she saw that Li Wei only drank her own soup and did not answer at all.
I had to continue embarrassedly.
"Actually, we came to borrow some food from you, and I won't tell you, we are too anxious to come out this time, and we have very little food with us."
"I thought I would be at my mother's house in half a day, but I knew that I had been trapped here for so long."
"No one wants this natural disaster, so I have to be cheeky to ask my in-laws for help."
"Don't worry, my in-laws helped us, and we must remember this love."
Gu Laosi: "Hmph, didn't your Zhou family ask my mother to give fifty taels of silver, but then helped the second brother settle down, why would there be no food?" ”
"Fourth, you know that my father and mother are gone, you deliberately said this and poked my lung tubes, didn't you?"
Although Zhou Chunxiu couldn't help Li Wei, she was not polite to Gu Laosi at all.
"This is called poking the lung tube, and some people take advantage of my family's distress to open their mouths for fifty taels, I don't know what they are doing?"
Gu Laosi has always been very dissatisfied with Zhou Chunxiu, and he didn't speak politely.
Zhou Chunxiu said that he couldn't find Gu Lao'er: "You just watched your brother treat me like this?" ”
Gu Lao Er looked embarrassed, and looked at his daughter-in-law with a big belly, so he had to persuade Gu Lao Si.
"Fourth, don't say a word, this is your second sister-in-law."
"I remember that it's my second sister-in-law, and I'm worried that some people will eat inside and out."
This is a clear indication that the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law of the Zhou family are so angry, but who made them unkind at the beginning, and now they are begging to come to the door, so they have to swallow their anger.
"In-laws, everything in the past was a misunderstanding, if Chunxiu does something wrong, I will apologize to you on her behalf."
This week, the sister-in-law at least seems to be full of sincerity on the surface.
"It's just this food, see if you can lend us a little bit and help us first."
Sister-in-law Zhou and Sister-in-law Tuesday looked at Li Wei expectantly.
"I'm sorry, we don't have much food to bring, this is another big family, my in-laws really don't have anything to eat, let's take a few radishes here."
The Zhou family was immediately unhappy, and invited everyone to eat meat, but only gave themselves a few radish.
"My family, how can I just eat radish, no matter how I lend us a little rice, a few children haven't had a mouthful of rice since yesterday." Sister-in-law Zhou pleaded.
Thinking of several nephews and nieces, Zhou Chunxiu was also a little distressed.
"Mother, you can lend me a little rice to my sister-in-law."
As soon as Zhou Chunxiu said this, everyone in the Gu family looked at her, and under everyone's attention, Zhou Chunxiu bowed her head weakly.
"Everyone, my ability is limited, a few radishes are already my limit, if I don't want to, then I can't do anything."
Sister-in-law Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou saw Li Wei's resolute attitude, although they were dissatisfied, they could only take a few radishes and leave.
"What kind of person, it's already good to have a radish, and I still dislike it, and if I dislike it, I won't give a radish skin." Gu Laosi looked at the backs of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law of the Zhou family and scolded.
Zhou Chunxiu was already uncomfortable when she saw her sister-in-law so embarrassed, and when she looked at Gu Si with disgust, she was even more dissatisfied.
But with Li Wei here, she can't lose her temper, she just takes the eldest girl and the second girl out of anger.
Taking advantage of everyone's disappointment, he grabbed the eldest girl's waist and pinched it, and the eldest girl was so painful that tears rolled in her eyes, but she didn't dare to scream.
had to go far away aggrieved.
Seeing that the eldest girl dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, the depression in Zhou Chunxiu's heart dissipated a lot.
