447, Winter Has Arrived11
At the end of this year, it snowed even more heavily than at the end of last year. Traffic was jammed again, and the lines were completely paralyzed. Zhou Jianye's son was stuck on the road, and there was only thirty minutes left to drive. He couldn't help it anymore. Further, Zhou Jianye was so anxious that he went out to pick him up, but was stopped by Zhou Qingrong.
There are countless people stuck in traffic jams. Some units have holidays so late. What can I do to survive?
After waiting for a day, Zhou Jianye looked at the terrible snow outside and was really worried. He called his son and asked him not to come back. He would check if there was anyone nearby and give him a big red envelope! Let others take him in.
The result is this size! Really not! It’s no joke that Laokang Village is located in a remote location. In other words, the location of Changping County is really bad. There are many mountains and shaky roads. Although a national highway has been opened to connect the two places, the village is very scattered. Even the households in the village live scattered. .
For example, Yu Heng took a car to go to the market in Qing Province. He could only walk 500 meters before he saw one or two isolated houses. He also didn't understand why someone would build houses like that. Is it safe to live there? If a thief breaks in, there is no way to call for help. There are mountains and forests on both sides of the national highway, one after another, and occasionally you can see a village hidden among them. Therefore, the section of road where Zhou Qingshui was trapped was uninhabited, and he was really helpless. If you don't know where to start, you will only get trapped deeper if you keep waiting.
The snow is getting heavier.
After calling the police, rescue did not arrive so quickly, and they could not move. It was also difficult for the fire police to get on the road. They could only save themselves. Zhou Qingshui was a ruthless person and decided to walk home by himself. Fortunately, the children were already at home. He and his wife were both adults and wore sturdy clothes to withstand the cold. He was working in a plastic products factory, and his luggage when he came home also included two waterproof one-piece plastic suits, so the couple put them on and got out of the car without taking their luggage, and walked directly to Laokang Village through the snow.
There were many people following him, some from other local villages and some from outside. They had no choice but to follow the locals to the nearest village to find rescue.
White snow was flying on the dark road, and the vehicles parked on the road were covered with snow. The entire wheels were not covered in the snowdrifts. The passengers dug into the snowdrifts one step at a time. As they moved, messy traces appeared in the snowdrifts. On the road, like a slow-moving string of ants.
Yu Heng knew that Zhou Qingshui had come back because of the noise outside the house, including Zhou Jianye's voice. Zhou Qingrong shouted through the wall and asked what was going on. He learned that it was the villagers who had returned on foot and had already arrived at the entrance of the village. Their relatives were greeting them to pick them up.
"I'm going too!" Zhou Qingrong immediately went to put on his shoes, and Yu Heng made a pot of ginger syrup that was boiling on the stove and asked Zhou Qingrong to take it with him, "Drink it for your brother!"
It was already an hour and a half later when he was picked up. The next door was very noisy and he couldn't sit still. He told Zheng Han to put on waterproof shoes and go next door after watching the child. The door was always cleaned regularly, and the drainage ditches were dug well, so the snow on the road was not deep. He easily entered Zhou Jianye's home, and it turned out that Zhou Qingshui and the others were home.
Zhou Qingshui not only came back with his wife, but also brought several passengers in the same car with him. Pandan shouted loudly to bring ginger syrup, dry clothes, etc., with the sound of children crying in the middle. Zhou Qingrong was also in the living room, wiping his hair and neck with a towel.
Seeing that he was really busy and his third sister Xianglan wanted to greet him, Yu Heng took Zhou Qingrong home. Zhou Qingrong reported the situation loudly while cleaning himself up: "It's cold! Brother Qingshui's brows and beard are all covered with ice, hahaha Looks like Santa Claus!" Zhou Haojun was amused and asked his dad: "What next?" "Go, don't disturb your dad while he changes his clothes."
"It looks like it's frozen into lumps of ice. I think it will take a long time to recover. I don't know if I will get cold sickness. Mom, don't we have those Chinese medicines at home? How about I bring some to my third uncle's house?" "
Yu Heng has already prepared these Chinese medicines. He prepared these Chinese medicines by himself. They can dispel cold, remove dampness and warm the blood. They are suitable for people who have lived in the ice and snow. Not talking about other strangers, he only talks about the relationship between Zhou Qingshui and his wife and his family. Things have been prepared a long time ago. Whether medicine is good or not depends on where it is used. If a person is in good health, it is a valuable thing.
"Okay! I'll bring it over!"
It took a long time for the next door to work before it gradually became quiet. It was late at night, and Zhou Qingrong was busy from afternoon to night, so tired that he snored. Yu Heng heard snoring even though he was sleeping next door. He patted Zhou Haojun on the back, and the child hugged his arm uneasily and fell asleep again. He and his children now live in the middle bedroom with a kang. The kang at home is rarely used now, and the two bedrooms still use electric heaters. Yu Heng's idea was that when there was a power outage, the whole family would sleep together in the middle bedroom. Anyway, the kang was wide and took up half of the bedroom, so six or seven people could sleep there.
Usually he would practice until ten o'clock and then fall asleep. But I don’t know why I can’t sleep tonight. Is it because of Zhou Qingrong’s snoring? No, he had already mastered the ability to ignore the environment and fall asleep instantly. Yu Heng lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. He really couldn't figure out where the restlessness in his heart came from.
At noon the next day, he received a call from out of town. The body's inertial reaction made Yu Heng unable to help but want to get angry. He suppressed the emotion and looked at the number in Pengzhou thoughtfully. After the call was connected, he heard a strange yet familiar voice: "Mom."
There are not many people who can make the original body angry instinctively. Pei Shufen is an ordinary old lady who takes care of her husband, raises her grandchildren, and gets along well with her neighbors. To be honest, what she hates most in her life is her daughter's husband, Lu Yong, who died young. Thinking that her daughter, who was in her prime, was forced to death by her in-laws only two years after her marriage, this hatred is irreconcilable! Every time Pei Shufen sees Lu Yong and every time she answers a phone call, she will curse him.
The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a million difficult problems. As a man, husband, and son, do you need to help adjust? Lubricate the relationship? Even if you don't have that emotional intelligence, it's understandable. At least you can separate people, right? Lu Yong is not. He is indeed a good man and a foolishly filial son. He will only let his wife endure. Zhou Qinghua endured so much that he gave himself a malignant tumor and died early.
In addition, Zhou Qingshui had been married for two years and had aborted three babies, all of them were girls, leaving no blood for Pei Shufen to think of. How could Pei Shufen not hate her? Of course, she also hated her daughter. How could she be so stupid? How could she be so stupid? ! Your husband's family favors boys over girls, so you should have your own opinion. Why did you abort it just because they told you to?
The Zhou family had never instilled in Zhou Qinghua the idea of favoring boys over girls, and even Zhou Qingrong's treatment when he was a child was not as good as his sister. A girl from such a family was actually manipulated by others after getting married. Pei Shufen loved her daughter with her heart and soul, and she hated her daughter so much that she still cried when she thought of her.
The Zhou family and Lu Yong had not been in contact for nearly ten years. What was the reason for calling at this time? Yu Heng did not respond to Lu Yong's "Mom", but only asked: "Is there anything?" If there was nothing, he would hang up.
"Mom, a piece of the back mountain collapsed last night, and part of the grave was destroyed by the snow and soil."
Yu Heng's heart skipped a beat, and Lu Yong continued on the other end of the phone: "Qinghua's grave is also in that area, and we are going up the mountain to check the situation..."
So that's it! Yu Heng understood where the uneasiness in his heart came from last night. He suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice: "You must find Qinghua! I will pay for the reburial and tombstone!"
Lu Yong smiled bitterly: "Mom, I don't need you to pay, don't worry, I'm going up the mountain now, and I'll let you know if there is any news."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Heng was a little uneasy. He knew that it was the original body's feelings that were affecting him. Zhou Qinghua died ten years ago. At that time, most people were buried in the ground, and he was buried in the ancestral grave in Lu Yong's hometown. Lu Yong is from Pengzhou, Qing Province. His aunt married to Laokang Village. When Zhou Qinghua returned to his hometown with his family for the New Year, he met Lu Yong who was visiting his aunt. It can be said that they fell in love at first sight, but that beautiful first encounter did not bear sweet fruit.
He did not tell anyone else about this, just quietly waiting for news.
Zhou Qingshui brought his wife to see him. They sat down and talked about things outside. Yu Heng also wanted to find out some news from Zhou Qingshui, but the conversation went well.
Other passengers from outside were said to be arranged by the village chief to go to different families. They adopted the principle of voluntariness and negotiated the calculation of remuneration. Zhou Qingshui took in two people, both of whom were his colleagues in the factory.
"Auntie, come to my house for dinner!"
After chatting, Zhou Qingshui invited Yu Heng's family to have dinner next door. This was a necessary social activity, so Yu Heng and his family went. At the dinner table, Yu Heng looked at the two young men. They looked like honest people. He nodded in his heart. Zhou Qingshui is quite reliable in his work.
After dinner, there was no other entertainment. Zhou Jianye demonstrated the heating of the kang to his son and guests, and everyone gathered around to watch. After that, they gathered around the heater and ate melon seeds. When a few young people talked about the luggage in the car, they were still reluctant to leave. Although they carried all the valuables with them, they had accumulated a lot of things they wanted to take home after working outside for a year. They left all of them on the national highway, and they didn’t know if they were still there.
"It must be there." Zhou Jianye said, "Thieves are also people. They are afraid of the cold, right? They can't even walk with those luggage. Don't think about it. You live in my house. We have everything we need. Don't worry about changing clothes. I have new ones at home. People should cherish their lives and blessings. What's the point of guarding those luggage in the car? It's a little colder today than yesterday. When the gasoline runs out, there will be no heating in the car! They will freeze to death."
The two colleagues shuddered. They dared not think about the scene.
A group of people were watching TV and chatting, and a piece of news attracted everyone's attention.
The background of the TV screen was a laboratory. Yu Heng sat up and saw a dome rising in the simulation chamber, and white snowflakes poured down from the top of the chamber, and were all blocked outside by the dome. As more snowflakes poured down, the accumulated snow layer began to slide down and fell into the bottom of the semicircular cover, where there was a ditch.
"... The principle is almost like this. At present, the Central Research Institute has achieved preliminary results. I believe that it will soon be able to develop a final product that can cover a city! ..."
"Wow! If this thing can be promoted, there is no need to be afraid of snow!"
There were bursts of exclamations in the living room. Everyone was very curious and looking forward to this snow cover, and they discussed it one by one. The Internet also exploded with this news. Some netizens shouted: "Hurry up and produce the finished product! My roof is about to collapse! I'm freezing to death from shoveling snow every day!"
Zhou Jianye nodded repeatedly and said that this thing is good. "With this cover, the crops in the field will not be crushed by snow."
When Zhou Qingrong returned home, he was still talking about that thing. It can be said that the snow cover is the hot topic among the people now. It can be said that this news has comforted the people very well and let everyone see the hope of life. The people are full of expectations and only hope that the snow cover can be quickly produced and promoted for use.
Yu Heng knew that it was not just a snow cover. But he was not optimistic. The progress of the National Research Institute was too slow. He sent the simplified version of the protective cover to the government department with detailed instructions. It has been ten months and almost a year since today. The detailed imitation manual is ten centimeters thick, with appropriate details everywhere, just to enable the national machine of this mission world to shorten the research time and make batches of finished products as soon as possible to deal with the snow disaster.
The simplified protective cover was originally a simplified imitation of the star-level protective cover in the flood apocalypse. It should be more in line with this snow disaster world. As long as the "snow" parameter is set in the main program, it can be used as a special cover to resist snow disasters. Unfortunately, the technological development of each world is still too different. It takes time to thoroughly understand the manual and find common points with local knowledge.
"That's too slow."
Looking at the heavy snow outside the window and feeling the cold wind stinging his skin, Yu Heng sighed and closed the window.
