70s happy little days on the island

Chapter 141-150

Chapter 141

In the end, Hua Ya did not convince her eldest sister, nor did she carry her home.

Instead, she was dragging the wooden cart like a stubborn donkey in front, while the eldest sister was pushing the wooden cart behind, and they trudged all the way home.

Standing downstairs in the unit, the eldest sister tugged on a corner of her snakeskin bag and said, "We're each on one side."

She was actually kind-hearted. Seeing the tender and weak look of Hua Ya, she thought she had no strength in her hands. The little daughter-in-law likes to show off her talents the most. This is not just any little daughter-in-law, she is the wife of Captain Gu. The eldest sister couldn't let Commander Gu lead the troops in front and set up the formation. The flag in the backyard was broken.

Proper care for the chief's family is also for the sake of stability in the military, isn't it?

Hua Ya resignedly stretched out a hand to grab the little horn and listened to the slogan shouted by the eldest sister: "One, two--"

Before "three" could be said, Hua Ya swung her little arms and threw the hundred-jin bag into the yard.

The eldest sister rubbed her eyes and couldn't believe what she saw in front of her.

Hua Ya didn't chat with her, she just carried a bag in one hand and threw it away in two "swish"s.

Sister: ".Can you really handle it?"

The eldest sister now knew that she was wrong, and said again: "God, are you born with divine power?"

Hua Ya threw the last bag of coal into the yard, clapped her little hands and said, "There were so many people just now that I was embarrassed to use my strength, so as not to make you upset. You see, I am indeed very strong. Don't worry about me anymore." . Well, the wooden cart is over here, you can pull it back. Oh, by the way, I thank you."

Sister: "."

Last time, the eldest sister asked Huaya to buy cheap milk powder for her own good, but she didn't get it. This time, I was afraid that the flower buds would reach my waist. I was so exhausted that I was sweating profusely and helped deliver the coal, but I failed to get it again. Now it seems that it can only be regarded as annoying.

The eldest sister smiled coquettishly, pulled the wooden cart and took two steps and said, "That supply package--"

Hua Ya said politely and distantly: "Thank you, I have some at home too."

The eldest sister dragged the wooden cart while walking and couldn't understand how the little girl today could have so much strength. She stopped on the road, pinched her arm, and shook her head. She couldn't figure out why she always failed to help when she clearly wanted to help.

Aunt Gao's family didn't need to worry, as guards had delivered the coal early. Gu Tinglan could also ask Xiao Guazi to do it, but Hua Ya felt sorry for them that they were busy in winter and had to prepare for winter training and conduct patrols, so he did it himself.

She went into the small courtyard and neatly organized the coals. One hundred kilograms of coal is much larger than one hundred kilograms of sand. After sorting the coal, she covered it with the tarp she bought when she landed on the island last year and tied it with ropes. After doing this, I followed Aunt Gao's example and put a few large bricks on top of the tarpaulin to prevent the tarpaulin from being blown away by the north wind.

After she finished doing this, she glanced down the path, but still didn't see Gu Tinglan. You should still be preparing for the coming extreme cold weather.

Hua Ya didn't want him to worry about the army as well as his family, so he tried his best to take care of his family's affairs.

"Are you back?" Aunt Gao came over from the road and saw Hua Ya busy working in the courtyard. She said to Hua Ya, "Xiao Nie has prepared two tons of rice and noodles outside the third canteen tomorrow. Those who need it should go and get it early tomorrow."

Not only did she plan to go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to buy fifty kilograms of rice to keep at home, but since the chief secretary brought out the rice, she didn't have to go there anymore. When I saw the eldest sister again, I took it upon myself to make up my mind for her.

I can't say she hates it, she just lacks a sense of boundaries and makes her own decisions.

After Hua Ya spoke to Aunt Gao, Aunt Gao told her some things she needed to pay attention to in the extremely cold weather, and told her: "Don't be too scared. We are upstairs and downstairs. We can take care of anything if anything happens. Oh, by the way. , have you had dinner tonight? Come over and have something together?"

Hua Ya also wanted to take a walk around Fangyuan's house to see if there was anything she could do to help. She shook her head and didn't eat at Aunt Gao's house: "I'm going to my sister-in-law's house to have a look. If Ba Jin comes back, tell him for me."

Aunt Gao said, "Okay, it's getting dark, so walk slower."

"Um!"

Just one building away, Hua Ya quickly arrived at Fangyuan's house.

The floor of Fangyuan's house was full of bits and pieces of food from home, and she was trying to figure out how many days they could last.

The army's requirement for family members is to try not to overstock supplies. The supplies on the island are limited, so everyone should control the amount they need. When there is a real shortage, the army will supply it in time.

Hua Ya's family has just prepared the food reserves for the winter, and Hua Ya probably knows what's going on. There are also piles of dried vegetables and mushrooms sent from my mother's family on the balcony, as well as various cured and pickled meats sent from Beijing.

She brought a lot of dried fish and shrimp to Fangyuan, helped Fangyuan do the math, and told Fangyuan the news that Aunt Gao had told her.

Fangyuan was worried that his family had almost enough rice. Rice, a fine grain, will be given priority to soldiers in the West Campus. The family members mix fine grains and coarse grains and eat them together every day.

Fangyuan took out the food stamps and sighed: "I can't save a few kilograms from food stamps all year round. I have to go to the study class tomorrow to deliver rations to Tiantian and Lele. By the way, have you paid Wang Tianzhu's food stamps?"

"You still have to pay food stamps?" Hua Ya didn't expect this at all. She slapped her forehead and said, "Why did I forget about my little pig? I haven't prepared anything for him to eat, drink and poop."

Fangyuan told her: "I can't blame you for this. The class prepares like this every year, but this year it may take a few more days to prepare."

Hua Ya asked her: "What else should I bring?"

Fangyuan said: "You can give some food stamps to the study class. They are in the first year of junior high school this year. Students in the first year of junior high school have to pay ten kilograms of food stamps a month. For those who are not enough for fine grains and coarse grains, the study class directly communicates with the director of the department and does not need to The tickets are through the channels of the army. The army also subsidizes part of them every month."

Hua Ya knew that the weather this year was bad and asked worriedly: "Do we need to send some coal there?"

Fangyuan is very experienced in this. She said: "It depends on the individual when it comes to coal. If your family is rich, donate more, and if you don't, donate less. The rest is a subsidy for the children of the army. Wait until the weather is good. , and will also organize students to collect firewood collectively on a nearby low mountain."

Hua Ya thought for a while and decided to send fifty kilograms of coal with the food stamps tomorrow. As for the eldest sister and third sister, they are directly under the control of the army, so naturally she does not need to worry about them.

Return home and walk to the second floor.

Aunt Gao heard her footsteps and opened the door and said, "You're back? How are your sister-in-law preparing?"

Hua Ya said: "It's almost done. Let's go get some rice tomorrow and then go to the study class to deliver some things."

Aunt Gao nodded and said, "The guard just came over and told me that I don't have to wait for Lao Ruan to come back. He and Xiao Gu haven't finished their work yet. You should go to bed early today. There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow."

"Okay, I know." Hua Ya stood on the stairs and rubbed her little hands that were almost freezing, and said, "Auntie, go to bed early. I'm going up."

Hua Ya returned home, washed up alone, and sat on the sofa for a while. He looked up at the cans on the cabinet, not in the mood to drink.

Only the cans made from Bajin are the most fragrant, while the ones made by yourself are less flavorful.

She filled herself with two hot water bottles, holding one in her arms and placing the other at her feet, taking care of herself just like Gu Tinglan often did when leaving in the morning.

The flower bud tossed and turned in the bed for a long time, sleeping on Gu Tinglan's side, and then sleeping on her own side.

After struggling for a while, he finally took out Gu Tinglan's vest from the closet and hugged it, then fell asleep in a daze.

Early in the morning.

The sound of the howling north wind came from the gap in the window, and the sharp sound broke through the cold and hit people's eardrums.

Hua Ya drowsily reached for the hot water bottle with her little feet, but the hot water bottle couldn't reach it and hooked on a pair of warm feet.

In his sleep, Gu Tinglan subconsciously put Hua Ya's feet between his calves and hugged her whole body from behind.

The bed was warm, and as the night passed, there was even a slight sweat on the place where the flower bud was pressed against his chest.

Hua Ya turned her head quietly, rarely seeing Gu Tinglan's sleeping face. She stretched out her hand and pinched his face gently, and found that there was no flesh on Gu Tinglan's face, and it was all supported by bones.

If it were normal, she would definitely make Gu Tinglan wake up. This morning, she got up quietly and secretly put the vest back in the closet. Then he ran to the kitchen and planned to make a meal of sea cucumber and millet porridge for Gu Tinglan.

Gu Tinglan was half asleep, and he habitually wanted to hold people in his arms. He tried twice but failed to catch anyone. He gradually opened his eyes and saw the empty bed in front of him.

The north wind outside is still howling, and winter is its home field. Heavy snow rolled up at some point during the night and fell half a meter deep quietly.

Gu Tinglan's eyes were a little green. He walked to the living room with a toothbrush in his mouth and heard the sound of his little wife working in the kitchen.

"Are you awake?" Hua Ya rushed into Gu Tinglan's arms, rubbed her face obediently, and raised her head to wait for the kiss. Gu Tinglan still had bubbles on her mouth, so she pinched her little nose and said, "I'll see you later."

Hua Ya disagrees and insists on kissing. Gu Tinglan put his arm around her waist and took his little koala-like wife to the pool to rinse her mouth, then gave her a sweet mint-flavored kiss.

"I made millet porridge for you, with prawns and sea cucumbers added to it." Hua Ya was worried that he would leave soon, so she said quickly: "It will be ready soon, just wait."

Gu Tinglan repeatedly twirled the ends of her hair with his fingertips, nodded and said, "I won't go there until eight o'clock, there's no rush."

Hua Ya looked up at the wall clock. It was already seven forty-five!

Hua Ya slapped his hand away, reached out and touched the stubble on his chin and said, "Go and shave quickly. I'll help you scoop out the porridge and blow it on."

Gu Tinglan really didn't get up today, otherwise he wouldn't have let his wife make breakfast early in the morning.

He obediently went to shave. Outside, Hua Ya said to him, "I'm going to deliver supplies to the study class today. What do you want to bring to the little pig?"

Gu Tinglan had nothing to bring to Wang Tianzhu. Boys from military families must be left alone. A child that grows around a woman's knees has no future.

But Gu Tinglan didn't dare to say this to Hua Ya. He thought about it and said, "Of course you don't need to trouble me with such a small matter. You can just handle it yourself."

"That's good, there's nothing big going on in our family anyway." Hua Ya smiled sweetly and put the millet porridge on the dining table.

While stirring the millet porridge with a spoon, she said: "I need to bring a hot water bottle, as well as the food stamps and coal that my sister-in-law said."

Gu Tinglan said, "Forget it about the hot water bottle. Didn't you bring him one last time?"

Hua Ya took a small mouthful of millet porridge and found that it was still a little hot, so he started stirring again: "His legs always have growing pains at night. Multiple hot water bottles will make it more comfortable in the winter. Haven't you also experienced growing pains? Put yourself in his shoes. Just for a moment."

Gu Tinglan washed his face, touched his chin with his hand, picked up a towel and dried his face and said, "That's enough."

Hua Ya thought about the last time she had acute gastroenteritis, and said to Gu Tinglan worriedly: "Last time. Last time, I heard you said that piglets eat dried tofu very well, and sometimes they skip meals just to eat dried tofu. This time. Do you want to tell Grandpa Zhou to stop selling dried tofu in the school?"

Gu Tinglan walked to the living room, sat across from Hua Ya, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you sell dried tofu? Are you afraid of getting acute gastroenteritis like you?"

"That's nonsense." Hua Ya would never admit that she got sick after touching Wang Tianzhu's dried tofu.

She scratched the tip of her nose and pretended to be a good parent and said, "Isn't the little pig growing taller? I'm worried that he won't grow taller if he eats too many snacks."

Another important point is that she thinks the dried tofu is so delicious. Even though she knows she will go to the hospital if she eats it, she still thinks about two bites after one bite, and thinks about three bites after two bites.

In order to avoid the situation where she couldn't control herself and ate dried tofu again and ended up with vomiting and diarrhea, she distorted the facts and said, "I want to ban dried tofu for the sake of my children."

Gu Tinglan went to the kitchen to get a bowl, divided the cooled millet porridge in half, and planned to eat it with Hua Ya.

Hearing what Hua Ya said, he said: "I also think he ate too much dried tofu and lost his brain."

Hua Ya swallowed, her taste buds still remembering the delicious dried tofu.

She tried to strengthen her heart and said: "Right, right? I just said it is not good for his growth, and that thing must be banned."

Gu Tinglan hit the nail on the head: "Isn't it because you want to eat and are afraid that you can't control it?"

Hua Ya waved her hands repeatedly: "Of course not, I do it for his own good."

"Before banning it," Gu Tinglan said with a half-smile, "I think Wang Tianzhu should have a physical examination, especially his spine."

Hua Ya was startled, and the spoon dropped into the bowl with a crisp sound: "Where did he grow?"

Gu Tinglan pursed her lips and smiled: "He must have a problem with his spine. Otherwise, how could such a young child shoulder such a big responsibility?"

Chapter 142

Aunt Gao opened the door and prepared to go to the Family Committee office.

When she saw Gu Tinglan coming down from upstairs, she covered her face uncharacteristically.

Aunt Gao asked with concern: "Why does your tooth hurt?"

Ruan Lu's voice came from the room: "Who has a toothache? The little flower tooth hurts again?"

Gu Tinglan stood at the door of the second floor, approached Aunt Gao, and took off her hand. Aunt Gao saw a neat circle of small, light tooth marks.

She slapped Gu Tinglan on the back and said, "Did you bully someone again?"

Gu Tinglan waved his hand and said, "This is evidence of the love between husband and wife. You can give Ruan Lu a bite later."

After hearing this, Aunt Gao wanted to kick him, but he dodged.

Gu Tinglan took three steps at a time and went downstairs. He saw ice skates forming at the door again. He stretched out his long arms to knock off four or five long, sharp ice skates, and kicked them aside with his feet.

"You finally got a wife, don't destroy her."

After Gu Tinglan muttered, he looked towards the third floor out of habit.

Hua Ya happened to be wrapped in a small flower cotton jacket and peeked out of the bedroom window at him. Just in time to be seen by Gu Tinglan, Hua Ya hummed loudly and closed the window.

"Hey, it's all my fault. Who's to blame? Blame me."

After Gu Tinglan finished reprimanding himself, he thought to himself as he walked that his little girl was too cute. I met a few acquaintances on the road and nodded to say hello.

Hua Ya didn't go back to sleep. She took off the small floral cotton-padded jacket she wore at home and put on the thick cotton-padded jacket she wore when going out. After tidying up, she planned to go to the third cafeteria to get some rice.

No matter how busy Gu Tinglan is, he will always find time to eat at home. The same is true for her. She will only eat somewhere else unless he doesn't come back. Three meals a day, the two of them can eat two or three meals together a day. Of course, this is when Gu Tinglan is not busy with tasks.

Hua Ya calculated the required rations at home, followed the method of the housekeeper Fangyuan, and wrote it down with paper. There is no shortage of vegetables and meat at home, but now we need to make more preparations for rice and noodles. There is also no shortage of corn pellets for the birds.

Last time I went to Orange Island, I accidentally forgot the little fat bird and stayed on the island for more than a week. After Gu Tinglan asked someone to find that gadget near the guest house, he became very angry with Hua Ya. I don't know where it flew to, I haven't seen it recently.

Not only it, but also the booby leader's rations must be prepared in advance.

Fortunately, the army attaches great importance to boobies, and this winter there is a special bird subsidy approved by the Ruan Brigade, so that they will not suffer from hunger and cold in winter. Flower buds only need to prepare a little corn mash.

When we arrived at San Canteen, the number of people lining up was far beyond Hua Ya's imagination.

I thought there would be enough people borrowing books and receiving coal, but when I arrived at Da Mi, they were all younger brothers.

Hua Ya also planned to go to the study class if she had time in the morning, but now it seems that she has to arrange to go to the afternoon.

When it was the flower bud's turn, an hour and a half had passed. She asked for ten kilograms of rice and five kilograms of noodles. She also got ten kilograms of corn mash and twenty kilograms of sweet potato noodles.

Gu Tinglan shared a bucket of oil last time, and there is still a pot of meat oil left over from fried lard at home, which can be used at least until the end of the New Year.

It is extremely cold in the twelfth lunar month, even if there is no warning.

Otherwise, the New Year's Eve cannot be called the New Year's Eve. This is a threshold that people need to get through.

Hua Ya carried about twenty kilograms of things in each hand and walked towards home with small steps.

On the way, I met Fang Yuan who couldn't lift anything, so he quickly said, "Sister-in-law, stand aside so that you don't block others. I'll go home right away and help you pick up the things after delivering them."

Fang Yuan stood in the middle of the path. She was not as strong as Hua Ya. She carried ten kilograms more flour than Hua Ya. Now she put the things in front of her feet and said with a white breath: "You go back first, I will walk a little bit."

There was snow on both sides of the path, and only the middle of the road had been cleared in advance. All the family members crowded on the path and passed each other. Regardless of whether her sister-in-law asked her to help, Hua Ya hurried back and piled her things in front of the house and came to look for her.

Fortunately, the security here is good, so you don't have to worry about things being stolen at the door.

Hua Ya helped Fangyuan get most of the things, delivered them to the door and said to Fangyuan, "It's already past eleven o'clock now. When will you go to the class?"

Fangyuan said, "If you're not in a hurry, we'll go in the afternoon. My arm is about to be broken. I haven't had breakfast yet and I'm about to suffer from hypoglycemia."

Hua Ya quickly let her rest on the sofa and got into the kitchen. She saw that there were large overnight steamed buns in the steamer, she stuck her head out and said, "Want a steamed bun?"

Fangyuan said hurriedly: "If they don't eat, they will be sent to the study class."

Hua Ya was shocked: "How can you eat something so hard?"

Fangyuan said naturally: "Bake it and eat it. The outside is mushy and the inside is full of flour flavor. We at Jialele like to eat this the most."

"If I had known I could bake something, I would have prepared some sweet potatoes for the little pig." Hua Ya asked Fangyuan, "Do you have any extra sweet potatoes here? Lend me a few kilograms."

Fangyuan smiled and scolded: "Do you want to borrow a few broken sweet potatoes from me? I tell you, I won't."

The flower bud was flexible and said: "I'll take it, please give it to me for free."

Fangyuan stopped teasing her and said, "I have prepared everything for Wang Tianzhu. He has everything Tiantian Lele has, so just put your heart in your stomach."

As he said that, Fangyuan stood up and showed Hua Ya the plastic bags neatly arranged at the door: "Sweet potatoes, potatoes, vermicelli, and the big steamed buns in the pot are enough for the three of them to eat for several days."

Hua Ya's mind was opened by her. She first went to the kitchen and gave Fangyuan a bowl of noodles. Then she remembered the vermicelli and asked, "Why are you bringing them vermicelli? Can they stew Chinese cabbage themselves?"

Fangyuan leaned on the sofa and rubbed his temples and said, "You never baked vermicelli over a fire when you were a child? Sweet potato flour puffs up so much when baked, and it tastes so delicious."

Hua Ya has never tried it, mainly because the food at home was precious and did not allow her to develop new ideas. Fangyuan closed her eyes and directed Huaya to take out the vermicelli from the kitchen and roast it over the fire. She saw that the front of the vermicelli expanded two or three times like rice pops.

Fangyuan opened his eyes and took a look. If there was no problem, he said, "Try it."

I smelled the flower buds and they were very fragrant.

She bit off the front end and found the new world and said: "It's delicious. Who discovered this way of eating? When I was at home, I didn't have any snacks. If I had known, I would have done this. It would have saved me a lot of sneaking. Grilled gnocchi to satisfy your cravings."

Hua Ya chewed the vermicelli and brought the noodles to Fangyuan to eat. Fangyuan picked up a chopstick of dried radish and said, "We all eat this way in our hometown, maybe it's because the customs are different."

Hua Ya nodded and saw that Fangyuan was eating noodles and said to her, "Don't finish all the noodles. Leave a bowl for me and I'll come over to eat after I finish the food."

Fangyuan teased Hua Ya and said, "If you don't tell me, I won't be able to finish it. If you tell me, I think I will definitely eat it."

Hua Ya said seriously: "No, you won't be able to finish it." After saying that, she ran to the shoe cabinet to change her shoes, put on her big cotton hat and went outside.

When I opened and closed the door, a gust of north wind blew through the room, and I suddenly felt that the temperature had dropped a few degrees.

Fangyuan didn't wait long when Hua Ya knocked on the door and came in holding something.

Fangyuan took a look, hey, there are all kinds of snacks inside: "You have handed over all your inventory."

Hua Ya touched her nose and said, "I'm afraid he will eat unhygienic things, which will grind his teeth."

Fangyuan walked to the coffee table and flipped through it. There were not only the Qima cakes that Wang Lihua gave to Huaya, but also chocolate, dried squid and dried prawns.

"They must be so happy to see so many delicious things." Fangyuan brought the noodles to the coffee table, and during the short time when Hua Ya returned, she laid an egg on the noodles for Hua Ya.

Hua Ya happened to be hungry too, so she took a big bite of the egg while holding the bowl.

Fangyuan put the things Hua Ya brought at the door, turned to Hua Ya and said, "Eat slowly, look at the outside, it won't snow in the afternoon. We will walk over slowly carrying the things later, are your shoes non-slip?"

Hua Ya sucked the noodles and said, "I have anti-slip buckles on the bottom of my cotton shoes. Ba Jin asked someone to buckle them on for me."

Fangyuan said with a smile: "You two, you are thinking about me, and I am thinking about you, how wonderful it is."

Hua Ya said: "You and my eldest brother are not like this. It's just that my eldest brother is not good at expressing and always keeps it in his heart. Please take a closer look."

Fangyuan said: "As expected, we are still sisters. I just said something and you helped your elder brother. You also asked me to think about it carefully. I have been with him for thirteen years and I still don't know him. I just praise you and Xiao Gu. The relationship is good."

Hua Ya waved her hands, swallowed the last bite of noodles in a hurry and said, "It's okay not to praise our relationship."

After resting for a while, the two of them went out.

The two of them headed to the class in large and small bags. The north wind outside was a little lighter. There were many family members coming and going on the road.

Some family members have the same destination as them, giving things to their children. Some family members ran out of coal coupons, so they got a basket from somewhere and carried the coal at home to the class.

Hua Ya was not much better. Her basket was left in the yard and she didn't know where it was received by Aunt Gao, so she had to drag the heavy snakeskin bag forward.

The snakeskin bag made a long mark on the snow, and in front of it were the two sisters-in-law carrying large bags and small rolls.

Fangyuan thought it was a rare trip and brought lunch boxes for the children. There were so many things put together that it was almost too much for them to hold.

Zhou Zhengdu opened the door to the class today, and a teacher stood by the door, instructing parents to register the coal they brought and put it in the warehouse. It would be more convenient to give coal tickets directly, and you can leave with just one signature.

The children finished their classes in the morning. Some were eating in the canteen, and some were making snowmen and having snowball fights on the playground. Running and jumping lively, showing youthful vitality.

Wang Tianzhu and Lele were waiting at the door of the study class. Lele couldn't stand the cold and kept stamping his feet on the spot. Holding the glass bottle in her arms, she said to Wang Tianzhu: "Do you want to come today? Don't get me wrong."

"Brother Xiao Guazi told me personally, just wait a minute." Wang Tianzhu saw that Lele could hardly hold his tongue straight, so he took off the scarf around his neck and threw it to her: "Hurry up and cover your face. My nose is dripping with snot."

Lele and he were in the same class since childhood, and they grew up together. Not caring about it too much, I took his scarf and wrapped it around his neck twice.

When Hua Ya and Fangyuan arrived at the door of the class, they had to wait in line to give something to someone for free.

Hua Ya is going crazy: "I've been waiting in line for the past two days!"

Fangyuan told Hua Ya, "It's not the extreme cold warning. I think the weather is fine today, and it won't be bad tomorrow. Maybe the cold wave was blown away by the strong north wind."

Hua Ya also wished for this: "It's best to blow it on the little Japanese side, but if it doesn't work, it's not bad on the big pancake-faced side. Anyway, they have big faces and can blow!"

Chapter 143

Wang Tianzhu saw Hua Ya dragging a snakeskin bag and carrying large bags and small rolls over. He shouted: "Here we come." He ran to the door first and explained to the teacher: "My little mother is here, and I am going to pick her up."

The teacher looked outside and nodded: "Remember to ask your mother to come over and sign."

Wang Tianzhu said simply: "Okay."

The teacher continued to take notes in a small notebook. Wang Tianzhu ran in front, Lele followed behind, and they arrived in front of Hua Ya and Fangyuan one after another.

Wang Tianzhu reached out and took down the canvas bag that Hua Ya was carrying. It was filled with snacks for him. He then grabbed the corner of the snakeskin bag and dragged Hua Ya toward the door.

Hua Ya didn't say she didn't need help this time, and sent the coal over with him with a smile.

The registered teacher looked at it and said with a smile: "Wang Tianzhu's mother, right? You are tired from bringing so much coal. I want to thank you on behalf of the school."

Hua Ya said like a human being: "Teacher, you're welcome."

In previous years, Wang Tianzhu paid coal coupons, but this year, like most of his classmates, he handed in actual goods. The class encourages parents to get real goods. This is the hard currency in winter, and what you get in your hands is the real thing. Sometimes there is no time to exchange coal tickets, like Gu Tinglan did last year, and it is useless.

Wang Tianzhu patted his big bag and said proudly: "Our family must be number one in the class."

The teacher put the coal on the scale for a brief moment, and said to Wang Tianzhu: "Awesome, your mother can handle it, sixty-three pounds. First in the school. This is the first time I have seen a lesbian bring so much." coal."

Hua Ya stood behind Wang Tianzhu and whispered to Fangyuan: "I accidentally pulled 13 kilograms more by paddling. It's a loss."

Fangyuan pushed Huaya, knowing she was joking. If he really couldn't bear to give it to Wang Tianzhu, I'm afraid he wouldn't even take a pound here.

Wang Tianzhu is proud of himself. He has grown so big, but he has never been ranked first from the front. This time, the son is more valuable than the mother, hehe.

Fangyuan gave the things to Lele and asked her, "Where is your brother? How do you and Brother Tianzhu get these things? Your brother has been detained in court again?"

"You can send us in." After Lele finished speaking, he complained to Fangyuan: "I don't know who said that our class will close the school. After the school is closed, there will be nothing to eat. My brother and other students are thinking about making something to satisfy their cravings. I had to eat something, but my stomach was full. The school doctor prescribed antidiarrheal medicine. I don't know what's going on now. I, a girl, am too embarrassed to go into the male dormitory."

Fangyuan asked a few more questions worriedly, and Lele told her everything. Fangyuan was still worried and planned to take a look at Tiantian's dormitory with Lele.

Hua Ya also wanted to touch Wang Tianzhu's dried tofu, mainly because she didn't want him to eat it again, so she followed him to the dormitory.

The sky is cloudless and the warm sun is shining brightly.

Many students on the playground cleared the snow aside, some were running and some were playing basketball. The most popular one is probably Bingping Tennis, with many people surrounding the table.

Our country's table tennis successfully "turned the big ball" in 1971. After inviting the American team to visit China, another round of table tennis craze started among the people. Nearly two years later, the popularity has not subsided, and it is the most popular "national sport" no matter where in the motherland it is.

There were originally two table tennis tables in a corner of the study class playground, and later four more were built. Even if there are six tables, it is still far from enough for everyone.

Hua Ya and Wang Tianzhu passed by the table and saw not only students but also teachers waving rackets inside. When someone hits a rare ball, both teachers and students will shout: "Good shot!"

On a cold day, the golfers didn't wear much, and there was a lot of sweat on their foreheads. The cheerleaders on the side were not much better, they were all helping to work hard together.

Passing through the playground, you can also encounter a canteen on the road.

The two salesmen in the canteen were talking to the soldiers with armbands. The soldiers shook their heads and pointed to several boxes of things for them to open and inspect.

Hua Ya can now tell the difference between ordinary boxes and "smuggled" boxes. It's very simple to say, there is no green stamp stamped by the army.

Things with a green stamp are those that have been approved by the army and appear in canteens. Things without a green stamp are obviously some "smuggled" Sanwu products.

They didn't want to linger around and walked past the small stall. I heard one of the salesmen mutter to another salesperson in a low voice: "I don't know who reported us. What's there to be jealous of? I only earned five yuan more last month."

One of the soldiers with armbands gave them a sharp look and said: "No matter where you are, speculation is strictly prohibited. You just speculate and use your position to make profits. I heard that many students eat your food. Some of them eat themselves badly, and some only eat snacks without eating, and can't go to the canteen a few times a month. What you earn is dirty money, no matter who reports it, your behavior must be cut off from the root."

"It's our fault. We were fooled by lard." The older salesperson knew that the nature of this matter could be high or low, depending on whether the other party wanted to blame them. He admitted his mistake with a good attitude and said: "This squad leader's education is so right. I will definitely reflect on it and never let this happen again. I will definitely hand over all the proceeds from the violation of discipline and not keep a penny."

Hua Ya passed by expressionlessly, her heart about to jump out of her throat.

She wasn't sure if it was because she told Gu Tinglan about what Tofu did last night, and Gu Tinglan sent people to clean it up in the morning. Although she knew that she was not doing something bad, she still felt guilty when she met him head-on.

Wang Tianzhu said angrily: "It's okay if we don't allow the sale of dried tofu. Many snacks in the canteen have been cleared away. Although I no longer eat snacks, some of my buddies will inevitably eat them. Why don't we give them a way to survive? I don't know. Who made the report behind my back? Even I know that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. How come the person who made the report doesn't understand?"

Hua Ya was so panicked that she hugged the sweater bag she brought for Wang Tianzhu tightly and whispered, "Maybe it's to prevent the students from getting upset."

Wang Tianzhu stabbed Hua Ya's lung tube: "We are not fools. We will definitely not eat if we can really kill people."

Silly Huaya covered her chest, feeling depressed and not wanting to speak. She was still thinking about the taste of dried tofu last night.

A group of people came to the dormitory, poisoning themselves in the vagina and moaning every day. They first went to Tiantian's bed and took a look. They were no longer upset, but just a little weak.

Before his mother came, he was still taking pictures of foreign paintings with other people in the dormitory every day. His one hundred and eight generals finally separated. After missing a Wisdom and Multi-Star Wu last week, the others have become dispensable recently.

But he had just learned that the canteen had been wiped out, a lot of snacks and toys had been confiscated, and there was no place to buy foreign cartoons. He suddenly felt that the 107 in his hand would become precious again. I wanted to dig through the floor when I took pictures of foreign paintings.

"Come, come over and have a bite while the food is still hot." Fang Yuan dragged the table and chairs over and let the three little ones eat together. She gave Tiantian some Chinese cabbage vermicelli and said, "Don't eat the oily food. Eat something light first."

Lele didn't like meat very much, so Wang Tianzhu ate Tiantian's portion of white meat with garlic paste. While eating, I was getting angry: "It tastes so good. Did you see it? There are layers after layers, exactly five layers of pork belly."

Tiantian didn't want to see him gorge himself on meat, so he huddled in the corner, chewing on the cabbage sticks pitifully.

Hua Ya felt guilty when she saw the canteen like that. She didn't touch Wang Tianzhu's snacks and placed the snacks she brought on the table for them to share.

Lele has a light appetite and stopped eating after half a bowl of rice. Hua Ya took out a handful of jujubes from his pocket and gave it to her, asking her to eat more of it.

Lele was more sensitive than the boys. Looking outside the window, parents kept coming to deliver coal and firewood, and add quilts to the students, so she asked: "Is it colder this year than last year? Why does it seem like there is something going on outside? Seems like it."

For fear of panic among the students, the class did not use the radio to broadcast news of the extremely cold weather.

Zhou Zhengdu held a teachers' meeting and asked the teachers to verbally convey to the students the news that the temperature may drop significantly. He also taught the students how to deal with the snowstorm weather at the class meeting.

Wang Tianzhu grew up here and was not surprised by this.

How to deal with all kinds of extreme weather is at your fingertips. When he saw that the study class had gone to great lengths to organize the parents, he said to Lele directly without thinking: "What else could happen? There must be heavy snowfall. Maybe there will be a big storm, otherwise the Academic Affairs Office The teacher won't rush to reinforce the roof."

Hua Ya patted his head: "You have a very good head, how can you improve me in the third semester?"

When it came to studying Wang Tianzhu, he couldn't get up his voice. He dug his head into the rice and said nothing.

Hua Ya and Fang Yuan looked at each other and smiled. After they finished their meal, they exchanged a few words and left.

The two of them first sent Lele to the door of the girls' dormitory. There was a sign on it saying that male students were not allowed to enter.

Wang Tianzhu, who followed them out, said "tsk tsk" twice: "Why can female classmates enter our dormitory, but I can't enter the dormitory of female classmates? This is unfair."

Hua Ya said: "If you want to be a girl, it's not impossible."

"Stop, stop, your thoughts are very dangerous and cannot be developed any further." Wang Tianzhu stopped Hua Ya in time and was about to continue talking when suddenly a female classmate rushed out from the corridor of the dormitory.

She looked like she was in the third or fourth grade. There was an older girl behind her, shouting from behind: "Little sister, don't run away, our dad has left a long time ago. He brought me a lot." Things, I'll share half with you."

Fangyuan stood at the door of the dormitory and stopped the girl who was running and crying in front of her. She squatted down and grabbed the girl's hand and said, "Isn't this Lili? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

Hua Ya took a look and recognized it. This was the little girl from Sister Dafang's family, her name was Li Li.

Wang Tianzhu was embarrassed to stand aside and watch the girl cry, so he quickly told Hua Ya, "I'm leaving now. I didn't see anything."

Hua Ya said: "Let's go, let's go."

Fangyuan supported Li Li, who burst into tears.

Her sister Li Mei told Fangyuan and Huaya: "My dad is always leaving things behind, and this time he forgot my little sister's things and only gave me food and a hot water bottle. My little sister was angry and wanted to go find him. I I want to persuade my little sister, but she doesn't listen to me."

Li Li threw her arm down hard and stopped wiping her tears. She said loudly: "Don't be so obedient when you get the advantage. What do you mean by 'forgetting' my things? How come he never forgets your things!"

When Li Li talked about this, she started to choke again: "I come here several times throughout the year to deliver things, but every time I forget my things. What a coincidence, he just doesn't want to give them to me."

Li Mei actually had similar thoughts in her heart, but in fact it was too difficult to say it out.

In the past two years, Li Li was too young to see it, but Li Mei could actually find that the relationship between her parents was not very good. She didn't want to cause any more trouble to her parents.

Fangyuan glanced at Hua Ya, who said to the two little sisters: "Sister Dafang and I are both members of the Family Committee. When I get back, can I ask her to deliver the things in the next two days?"

Li Li didn't say yes or no. Li Mei was three years older than her, and her mother taught her well. Thank you Hua Ya: "Thank you, big sister. Please tell my mother. If you have time, I'll send it to you first. If you don't have time, I'll give it to you first." Use it with my little sister. Don't let her delay work."

Li Li snorted and said in a very rebellious tone: "You will be allowed to do all the good things, and you will be allowed to take advantage of all the advantages."

Hua Ya took out the red headband from her pocket, and she was going to give it to Lele. Fangyuan said that Lele already had a pair, so he didn't give them away.

She took Li Li's little hand and bent down to tie her braid with a pair of red ribbons. The red color was particularly beautiful: "I will give this to you now, not to your sister. It is yours alone."

Li Li's face turned red. She didn't know whether she should accept other people's things. Even though she liked it very much, she still couldn't make up her mind on this kind of thing.

Li Mei glanced at Hua Ya gratefully and said to Li Li, "Why don't you thank sister quickly?"

Li Li held on to the ends of two pigtails, and judging by her expression, she knew she liked the pair of red ribbons. She whispered: "Thank you, big sister."

Hua Ya was very happy when she heard the little girl call her big sister, but unfortunately seniority cannot be wrong. She corrected: "Call me auntie. I play well with your mother. I usually call her sister."

Li Mei pushed Li Li, and Li Li changed her words and said, "Thank you, auntie."

He coaxed the little girl well and took over the task of delivering messages.

Hua Ya told them a few words, and then walked home arm in arm with Fangyuan.

The days are short now, and it feels like just two hours after noon, the sky is already gray, as if the sun will set soon.

Hua Ya and Fangyuan were talking to each other all the time. She planned to solve the little girl's problem first and take a detour to the Family Committee office to find Sister Da Fang and ask her to send the things there as soon as possible.

Fangyuan was walking and suddenly said: "This is not the first time something like this has happened to Chen Zhi. Last time you didn't get gastroenteritis. I saw him at the door of the study class and brought a lunch box for the big girl. The little girl's lunch box didn't even I didn't bring it with me. Don't you think the lunch boxes and other things are kept together? We are also delivering meals to the three children, so why don't we forget any child's lunch box?"

Fangyuan's implication is that Chen Zhi's "forgetting" behavior was intentional. Judging from the meaning of Li Li's words, it really wasn't a one-time or two-time behavior.

Speaking of this, Fangyuan remembered the pencil case he bought for Tiantian and Lele last year: "I saw that Chen Zhi only bought one, and asked him why he didn't buy two. It happened that the supply and marketing cooperative had two identical ones. He had to say that Li Li's pencil case has just been replaced and there's no need to buy any more. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid I didn't plan to buy it for my little one at all."

Hua Ya felt sorry for Li Li, but at the age of ten, no one could stand her father's blatant partiality. The little girl just cried and wanted to seek more comfort. A little coaxing will stop the fuss.

Hua Ya muttered: "I really don't know why."

Fangyuan also couldn't figure it out and said: "Isn't that right? When it comes to favoring boys over girls, they are both girls. When it comes to partiality, many people are partial to the younger one. Don't say you can't figure it out, I don't understand either. I can't figure it out."

Hua Ya tucks her hair into her cotton hat. Her hair is so long that it catches her eyes when the wind blows. She said, "Come on, I'm too lazy to guess what he was thinking. Anyway, my first impression of him was not good."

Last time in the reading room, regardless of whether there were outsiders around, I started talking about Sister Dafang. Judging from Sister Dafang's reaction, it seems that she often does this and she doesn't even take it to heart.

Hua Ya imagined if her eight pounds dared to make trouble with her like this.

Haha, all the little birds were broken for him!

Chapter 144

There is no parent committee meeting today, everyone is busy with other things.

Sister Da Fang was talking to a divorced military family member in the family committee office. She saw Wang Lihua enlightening the other party halfway and couldn't help coming over to say a few words.

She is not a conciliatory person from the bottom of her heart, but in this general environment, divorced women have a much harder time than divorced men. Needless to say, it is too early. Just twenty years ago, women had the idea of ​​"marrying a chicken, marrying a dog, following a dog." They were firmly shackled by feudal marriages. They didn't even think about divorce, let alone actual divorce.

Later, it was the promulgation of the Marriage Law in 1950 that brought a ray of sunshine to women in feudal marriages.

At the beginning, the effect of the Marriage Law was not very good, and its implementation was very difficult. People at that time were harmed by feudal ideas. After twenty years of implementation and reform, many women still prefer to endure their marriages rather than divorce.

There is also a saying: "It is better to demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage." It can be seen that if you want to persuade people to break up, you still have to have a lot of backbone.

Sister Da Fang only said one thing to the family member: "If you want to continue to live in this life, just turn a blind eye. If you don't want to live in this life, the Family Committee will also fight for your rights and interests." ."

The family member said: "But military marriages are protected by law, and we as family members are not protected."

Sister Dafang sighed and handed the tissue to her: "No matter which party it is, as long as they make a mistake, they must pay responsibility. It does not mean that military marriages will protect soldiers. In military marriages, family members are also protected. They can be held accountable. It's the fault of the party!"

Wang Lihua, who was still in the family committee, felt like her scalp would explode when she heard this. She heard that Sister Dafang was implying that the family member advocated divorce.

What can a divorced woman do these days? It would be okay if the mother's family can support her, but I'm afraid that the mother's family won't take her in, and in the end it will be the woman herself who will suffer the disaster.

"You have been with your man for so many years, think more about his good points. Don't dwell on the other person's bad qualities. There is no perfect man in the world. Let me tell you, let's not act impulsively and give him another chance. Chance."

Wang Lihua said while winking at Sister Dafang.

Sister Dafang pretended not to see it and threw the waste paper on the table towards the corner. After throwing it away, he clapped his hands and said, "That's right. Just turn a blind eye and just live like this day by day."

When Hua Ya came in, he heard what she said, and immediately calmed down and said: "How can we live like this? A day has passed with eyes open and closed, and a night has passed with eyes closed and opened. If you can't close your eyes, A lifetime of turning a blind eye will be over. Living in a daze like this is no different from being dead. I have to live my little life with gusto, and I must not come here in vain."

Fangyuan left before he had anything else to do. Hua Ya entered the office, found a chair and sat upside down and said, "Why should we advocate the theory of women's dedication in marriage? Many marriages nowadays are invisible enslavement of women. We are all female compatriots. It's okay if we don't get rid of this kind of thinking, why are we still helping to shackle our female compatriots. This is not good, I don't like it."

It's difficult to deal with one person, and now another one comes to persuade them to break up.

Wang Lihua wanted to gag them both.

After Hua Ya finished her speech, she asked the family member who was sitting there with a sigh: "What's going on?"

The family member was a little embarrassed, and Sister Dafang also asked, "Yes, what's going on with you?"

The family members hesitated and said: "Let Sister Lihua speak, I, I'm leaving first."

Seeing her running away, Hua Ya asked Sister Dafang: "You talk so much, but you don't know what's going on?"

Sister Dafang said: "Don't you know that too?"

Wang Lihua quickly closed the door, hit both of them, and said with a smile, "It's her man's feet that smell so bad and he doesn't wash them. She got pneumonia last month, and the doctor said her home's sanitary conditions were not good and there were many bacteria. She thought it was Her man is causing trouble by not washing his feet."

This is a delicious contradiction.

Hua Ya squeezed out her double chin in discomfort and said with disgust: "How she has been able to bear it after being married for so many years is simply incredible."

She swayed her feet, as if she had forgotten how Gu Tinglan helped her rub her feet.

Fortunately, I learned smartly this winter. I changed my cotton-padded shoes, brushed the insoles after wearing them, and put them on the stove to bake after brushing, so that my feet would be fragrant every day.

Sister Dafang also felt that she had just said what she said. She thought it was a big deal, but she ended up with stinky feet.

She and Hua Ya locked eyes, and neither of them dared to look up at Wang Lihua.

"You two, don't listen half-way to what I'm told. If you have stinky feet, you'll get divorced." Wang Lihua threw the rag on the table: "You two will be punished to clean up the office tonight. I will keep it a secret for you two. If you don't tell President Gao explain."

Hua Ya picked up the rag and asked Sister Da Fang to collect the water: "Don't worry, I guarantee that it will be clean and shiny!"

Sister Da Fang found the basin from behind the door, picked it up and said, "Our Miss Hua has delicate little hands. Please give me the rag quickly and let me wash it."

Hua Ya twisted and threw the rag into the basin and said, "It's good to know, just wash it off."

Wang Lihua saw them starting to clean up and said: "Then I won't be in the way here. You are busy. I will go back to check how my family's dinner is doing."

Wang Qianjin was on sick leave for half a month and stayed at home every day to provide food, clothing, housing and transportation for Wang Lihua. Wang Lihua lived a happy life and was full of energy.

After seeing her off, Hua Ya saw Sister Dafang coming back, and the two worked for a while. Sister Da Fang saw that she was hesitant to speak and said, "If you fart, hurry up."

Hua Ya threw the rag into the basin, clapped her hands and said casually: "I went to the study class today and met Lili. Your family is also very forgetful. The little girl can forget everything. Take it. Thanks to her sister, I can share one with them. I told her to wait for you to have time to deliver one tomorrow."

Sister Da Fang was startled, then smiled and said, "Hey, he has such a careless temper that he can forget even something as big as giving something to his child."

Hua Ya said with a smile: "Then you two close the door and fight, but don't let me hear you."

Sister Da Fang felt a little uncomfortable. After hearing what Hua Ya said, she laughed and cursed: "Little brat, wait until I bring him downstairs to your house and beat him!"

Hua Ya was not interested in how to fight, and only said: "Don't forget Lili's things, send them over as soon as possible tomorrow."

After cleaning up the office, Hua Ya washed her hands and returned home.

Gu Tinglan led the patrol and did not go home for dinner at night. Hua Ya then went to Fangyuan's house to eat.

Four or five days passed like this, and the weather was getting better day by day.

Hua Ya went out today without even a scarf. Walking on the road, there was no wind at all.

The weather is nice, it seems like spring is about to begin, and the sun is shining warmly on people.

In the family area, there are many logisticians repairing houses and checking pipes. Hua Ya came outside the library and saw the little fat bird and its friends sitting on the stone table eating corn crumbs.

Even if you eat, you can't stop its mouth. After swallowing a mouthful, it will chirp twice.

Seeing the flower bud coming, the little fat bird turned its head indifferently, pointed its butt towards the flower bud and continued to peck at the food in the small bowl.

Hua Ya didn't pay attention to it. She had already apologized, but why was she so angry?

One person and one bird ignored each other. Hua Ya entered the library and saw someone reinforcing the windows.

Zhou Wenfang brought the egg burrito to Hua Ya and put it together with the glass bottle. It was still warm at this time.

Hua Ya took the egg burrito and took a bite. It was delicious. Zhou Wenfang generously sprinkled a lot of cooked sesame seeds on top, and spread at least two eggs on a piece of bread.

No one is allowed to sit at the table in the library, so Hua Ya and Zhou Wenfang stayed at the registration table eating burritos and chatting before working hours.

After almost eating, some family members came over with a pile of books to return.

There were many family members who returned the books. When asked, everyone said that the blizzard might have drifted to North Korea. In addition to carrying out defense according to the army's requirements, many people relaxed their vigilance.

Many of the books they brought had not yet been read, so Hua Ya resignedly ran up and down to put the books back in place.

After finishing the morning without stopping, Zhou Wenfang and I went to the San Canteen for lunch at noon.

After dinner, I passed by the playground. The playground was no different from usual. There were many people taking advantage of their lunch break to exercise.

Family members put thick quilts on the horizontal and parallel bars next to the playground, and there were also many thick cotton shoes in need of warm sunshine on the stands.

As Hua Ya walked on the road, she felt that her cotton shoes were a little hard to wear. She muttered to Zhou Wenfang: "When you remind me to take out a pair of insoles in the study room, my feet will burn."

"Okay." Zhou Wenfang nodded and said, "Please accompany me to the supply and marketing cooperative first. I have finished my red beans. I want to make some red bean paste."

So, the two of them walked to the supply and marketing cooperative.

No one has collected the coal piled in the yard of the supply and marketing cooperative for the time being. Everyone has accumulated a lot at home in the past few days. Hua Ya carried two hundred kilograms of coal coupons in her pocket, which Gu Tinglan had just given her in the morning, saying it was a subsidy for joining the patrol team.

The patrol members spend their winter time patrolling all over the island and have no time to cut firewood or logs. The army knows that it may not be possible to save money on the coal stamps issued to every household. Every year, we have to cut firewood or get enough firewood for a few days. The patrolman also gave me a subsidy of 200 kilograms.

Ruan Lu made a small fortune last year thanks to Hua Ya. As the Secretary General, Xiao Nie is stingy to the extreme. He saved a lot of money to purchase coal this year, hoping to give everyone a warm New Year.

"You go inside and buy red beans first. While there's no one queuing up now, I'll take two hundred kilograms of coal back." Hua Ya thrust her little arm in front of Zhou Wenfang. Zhou Wenfang didn't even have to think about it, and automatically raised his hands to hold her. Cotton sleeves. When he reacted, he had already rolled up one of his cotton sleeves.

"Then hurry up." Zhou Wenfang knew that Hua Ya was very strong, so he didn't say much. Watching Hua Ya go to the side to collect coal, she walked to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative and turned back.

When Hua Ya saw her coming back, she asked, "Why don't you go buy red beans?"

Zhou Wenfang said: "There's no one around now, so I'll just borrow a wooden cart to take all the coal back. It's too tiring to carry it from place to place, but the weather is nice today, so I won't suffer."

Today, the self-assertive eldest sister is not here, so Hua Ya plans to help Zhou Wenfang send the coal back to her home. Zhou Wenfang had no intention of asking Hua Ya to help, but when she pulled the wooden cart in front, it didn't move and she almost fell.

Hua Ya laughed at her. After the joke was over, she was like a hard-working little donkey, pulling the wooden cart in front again.

Chapter 145

Hua Ya piled coal in Zhou Wenfang's yard. Zhou Wenfang was anxious beside him and couldn't help, so he was very embarrassed. They are all lesbians, which makes her look very squeamish. Many people on the road looked at them.

The flower bud didn't care at all and just worked hard. After finishing her work, Hua Ya patted the dust on her cotton clothes and trousers, planning to go there again to get the coal back from her home.

Zhou Wenfang was reluctant to let Hua Ya work in vain, so she asked Hua Ya to eat red bean paste buns at her house after studying in the afternoon.

Hua Ya was naturally happy and secretly said, "I not only like to eat red bean paste buns, but also like to eat buns with meat."

Zhou Wenfang said: "There are no meat buns today." Before Hua Ya could pout, she said first: "But I can put a rock sugar in the bean paste for you."

Hua Ya suddenly felt comfortable.

The two went to Hua Ya's house to deliver coal together. Hua Ya wanted to pay for matches to light the fire, so she asked Zhou Wenfang to buy two candles with her.

Then I went to the study room. After studying, I came to Zhou Wenfang's home. Zhou Wenfang made fifteen or six bean paste buns with rock sugar for Hua Ya to eat.

Zhou Wenfang's bean paste buns are as delicate as she is, and they fit nicely in the palm of your hand. Small and round.

Break open the hot red bean paste buns, and the red bean paste will give off a rich aroma of red bean paste. Because of the addition of rock sugar, the outer layer of the bean paste seems to be covered with a layer of crystal clear crystals.

Hua Ya's appetite increased greatly, so the two of them took bean paste buns as dinner. Hua Ya ate five of them in one go before she was full.

Zhou Wenfang packed another twenty bean paste buns for Hua Ya and asked her to bring ten to Aunt Gao and save the rest for tomorrow.

When we came out of Zhou Wenfang's house, it was already dark and the temperature seemed to have dropped a lot.

Wu Yu, who was in the yard next door, pointed at the small wind bill in Zhou Wenfang's yard and said, "Oh my god, this is too bluffing. Hahaha, what can such a big wind roll do?"

You can feel two opposing winds blowing each other back and forth in the air, slowly rolling up the dust and weeds on the ground in mid-air.

Hua Ya went out and ignored Wu Yu.

She squinted her eyes because the sand blown up by the wind could easily cover Zhou Wenfang's small yard with dust, so she picked up a broom and swatted it hard against the rotating wind!

"Snapped!"

The small wind was strangled in the cradle, and the dust and dead grass it rolled up fell to the ground.

Zhou Wenfang was shocked: "...Can it still be like this?"

Hua Ya held the broom near the short door, clapped her hands and said, "This is a younger brother."

She didn't bring a scarf, she curled up her neck and let out a breath of white mist and said, "Why do I feel colder than when I entered the house just now? Don't send me away. Go in and light the stove so that you can sleep better at night."

Zhou Wenfang stood at the door and said, "Walk slower and don't drop things."

Hua Ya carried the red bean bag, waved her hand to Zhou Wenfang and said, "Remember to leave the window open, don't smoke yourself."

Zhou Wenfang smiled and said: "Stop talking nonsense and go back quickly. It feels like the sky is going to change!"

No one paid any attention to Wu Yu. Wu Yu was thick-skinned and said: "The sky is really going to change. Everything is gray."

Not only did they have this idea, the group of people playing ball on the playground took the ball home before they could decide the winner.

There were also people who were drying quilts and shoes, all running around to collect their things.

As Hua Ya walked on the road, she felt a gust of wind coming out from under her feet, blowing her hair exposed outside the cotton hat from bottom to top.

She pulled out the broken hair around her lips, looked back and saw the gray sky, and couldn't help but quicken her pace.

There were many family members going home in the same direction on the road, but almost no people going out in the opposite direction.

Hua Ya's heart became heavier with her steps, and the white mist she exhaled became thicker and thicker.

She walked under the building and saw that the snow that had flowed down at noon had frozen into ice and hung under the eaves. The clouds behind him turned from gray to black.

In just twenty minutes, the flower buds could clearly feel the sudden drop in temperature.

She first went to the first floor to check the doors and windows, and then re-covered the coal in the yard where she and Aunt Gao lived with tarpaulins. Looking at the strange scene of storm approaching and black clouds pressing down on the city, Hua Ya quickly pressed a few more big rocks onto the tarpaulin.

After doing this, she ran to the second floor to find Aunt Gao. Unfortunately, Aunt Gao was not at home, so Hua Ya hung the red bean bag she brought to her on the doorknob.

After returning to his home, Hua Ya seemed to be entering from one ice cave to another.

The room was dark and cold. Hua Ya didn't take off her cotton-padded clothes. She turned on the light and went to the living room to light the stove. She rolled herself into a ball and sat in front of the stove. After roasting for a while, she felt the warmth in the room, and then she changed her thick cotton-padded clothes into a small flowered cotton-padded jacket that she wore at home.

She had nothing to do, so she ran to the balcony, dug out two potatoes and two sweet potatoes, and threw them into the stove to roast.

There was nothing to do at home, so Hua Ya just read a book and waited for Gu Tinglan to come home.

At about eight o'clock in the night, when Gu Tinglan stepped into the unit building, there were bursts of thunder from the sky. As the thunder got closer and closer, hailstones the size of eggs actually fell from the sky!

Worried that his little wife would be scared at home, Gu Tinglan quickly ran to the third floor.

Hua Ya was startled by the rapid knocking on the door, and the muffled thunder accompanied by lightning from far to near seemed to explode in her ears.

Hua Ya opened the door and was hugged tightly by Gu Tinglan: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Gu Tinglan gently stroked her back and said comfortingly: "The building is very strong, there is no need to be afraid."

"What are you afraid of?"

Hua Ya raised her little face, revealing her little black mouth in the light. She still held a half-eaten baked potato in her hand.

Gu Tinglan: "." He almost drowned himself in his love.

Hua Ya held the roasted potatoes and said as if to offer a treasure: "It's still warm. It tastes just like the roasted potatoes in the pit! I left half of it for you. Eat it quickly." As he said that, he took the potatoes that had been peeled with black skin. Feed it to Gu Tinglan's lips.

Gu Tinglan ate the baked potatoes with her little black hands. Seeing her sucking a small mouthful of her fingers with unsatisfied interest, he stared at it for a moment, moved his Adam's apple and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Hua Ya raised her head and said sweetly: "It's delicious."

Gu Tinglan raised his lips and smiled and said, "You little fool, it's hailing outside."

After hearing this, Hua Ya ran to the window and looked out. You won't know if you don't look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

The hailstones, which were the size of eggs just now, were now as big as the potatoes she ate. Thunderbolts fell heavily to the ground and exploded one by one. If it hits someone, it will be over.

She turned around and asked Gu Tinglan worriedly: "Is everything going to be okay?"

Gu Tinglan has been preparing for the extreme weather for a long time. Although he is worried about it, he can cope with it: "We are all prepared. The rest depends on what God wants to do."

There was huge hail outside and everyone took shelter inside their houses. Ruan Lu personally knocked on the door, stood at the door and told Gu Tinglan with a serious face: "You are on call 24 hours a day."

"yes!"

After Ruan Lu left, Hua Ya pursed her little black mouth rubbed by the burnt potato skin and said, "Is it more serious than you expected?"

Gu Tinglan nodded and said, "We expected everything, except that it would rain hail. I estimate there will be a lot of damage to houses and machinery. We have to wait until the hail stops before making plans."

Hail fell all night. This kind of weather is really weird, with lightning and thunder accompanied by big ice lumps, which keep hitting the ground. After the hail stopped, the world seemed quiet.

Hua Ya rubbed her eyes in bed and breathed a sigh of relief. It was too noisy last night and she couldn't sleep well.

As a result, before we could relax for long, before breakfast was finished, a blizzard swept over us.

The howling north wind made a sharp sound from the cracks in the doors and windows, and the fire in the house flickered. Gu Tinglan moved a bedside table in front of the stove to block most of the wind.

He thought that Hua Ya would be cold if he read in the living room, so he went downstairs alone to find some tarps in the yard, and used a hammer to hammer them to seal the gaps in the window edges.

Hua Ya came out of the bedroom and found that the living room was much warmer. Gu Tinglan held the nail in his mouth and drove it firmly and firmly.

Gu Tinglan asked, "Did I wake you up?" He waited for a long time, but the little lazy boy didn't even get up. He estimated that it was almost time before he started driving the nails.

Hua Ya hugged his waist from behind, leaned her face against his back, nuzzled her twice and said, "Is this an extremely cold day?"

Gu Tinglan changed his playful smile, looked out the window seriously and said, "This is just the beginning. I'm afraid this year will be more difficult than in previous years."

Huaya has never experienced such weather, and she didn't feel anything during the day yesterday. I didn't sleep well last night, feeling half asleep and half awake. Later, Gu Tinglan, who was standing next to her, noticed her and held her in his arms before falling asleep completely.

She felt very lucky to be able to stay with Gu Tinglan in such a climate. Even if he is on call 24 hours a day, he may leave home at any time. But now as long as he is there, it seems that he is not afraid if the sky falls.

After feeling Gu Tinglan's efforts to make their nest warm, Hua Ya's fear of the unknown climate was reduced by more than half.

A great man has a saying: Don't underestimate your enemy, and don't be afraid of your enemy.

This is the state of flower buds.

She was a little worried that the tarpaulin in the yard would be damaged by hail. If it leaked, the coal would inevitably get wet when the wind and snow came.

Even if such coal can burn, the smoke will choke people, and it will be impossible to stay in the house.

Gu Tinglan found the military raincoat from the top of the wardrobe in the guest room. He told Hua Ya, "I'll go down and put it on again. Don't leave the house."

Hua Ya obediently walked him to the door, dragged him on the small bench and sat down against the shoe cabinet to wait.

Gu Tinglan stood at the door. Seeing her sticky face, he pinched her chin and kissed her.

Afraid of carbon monoxide poisoning, a finger-wide crack was left in the window above the balcony. There was a steady flow of evil wind entering the house through the small cracks.

The flower bud is leaning against the shoe cabinet, a little far away from the stove. Soon I felt that the temperature of my hands and feet turned cold.

When Gu Tinglan came up, he saw his young wife still waiting for him on the small bench. He held her waist and held her face to face in his arms. Hua Ya wrapped her arms around his waist and felt the chill on his body, but she didn't let go even so.

She was brought to the sofa by Gu Tinglan and covered with a blanket in this position.

The two of them were wrapped in blankets, Hua Ya rubbed the crook of his neck and said happily: "We eat bean paste buns in the morning. The rock sugar bean paste Xiaofang specially made for us is particularly delicious."

Gu Tinglan felt that his little wife was all soft and soft, and he couldn't bear to put her down while holding her in his lap. He pinched Hua Ya's little arm dishonestly. The same place was his bicep and his little wife was a glutinous rice ball. It was very addictive to pinch it.

Until Hua Ya yawned in his ear, Gu Tinglan refused to let her go to bed hungry. He wanted to put her down and go to the kitchen to get the red bean paste buns.

Hua Ya clamped his waist and didn't let go. Gu Tinglan pulled it twice but didn't pull it off. I had to take the little koala with me to the kitchen.

His strength is no less than that of a flower bud. I just control myself well and don't want to use my strength on Hua Ya recklessly. This time, he held Huayu with one arm and let her hug his neck. After going to the kitchen and coming back, he sat back on the sofa and continued to hold her in his arms.

The red bean paste buns are not heated in a steamer, but placed on an iron plate and roasted slowly on the stove.

The milky white appearance of the red bean paste bun slowly turns golden, and the outer shell becomes crispy due to the fire.

He broke open a piece of red bean paste bun and saw white steam coming out of it. He blew it and brought it to Hua Ya's mouth for her to taste.

The wind and snow howled outside.

In the warm room, the young couple were eating sweet and glutinous bean paste buns one bite at a time.

After they finished eating, Hua Ya took a nap.

Gu Tinglan wrapped her in a blanket and let her sleep on his lap.

He picked up the book on the coffee table and read it slowly in front of the fire.

Chapter 146

Hua Ya was awakened by the noise of the walkie-talkie, and the electricity was buzzing.

Gu Tinglan was standing by the balcony, talking to the person on the other side of the intercom. The other party spoke in a very urgent tone, as if he had a serious problem.

Hua Ya wrapped in a blanket and pulled cotton slippers that were warmed by the stove to his side. Gu Tinglan held her waist, lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

Hua Ya stretched out her index finger and gently rubbed his frown.

After talking to the other party, Gu Tinglan said to Hua Ya apologetically: "I have a mission."

Hua Ya nodded and looked up at the clock on the wall.

It's five o'clock in the morning.

The blizzard outside seems to feel that people are afraid of them, and their power is wildly unleashed. It seems that there is only one color between heaven and earth, and everything is eclipsed.

Gu Tinglan stood at the door, while Hua Ya ran to the drawer under the cabinet and dug out the large piece of chocolate she had collected. She hurried to the door and stuffed the chocolate into Gu Tinglan's military coat pocket before he went out.

Gu Tinglan ruffled the little lunatic's hair even more, and said gently: "Wait for me at home, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

Hua Ya nodded.

Gu Tinglan was not satisfied: "Speak."

Hua Ya took his hand and put it against his cheek, and said obediently: "I will wait for you at home and I won't go anywhere."

Gu Tinglan kissed her again.

Hua Ya watched Gu Tinglan leave. Looking at his back, it seemed like he could handle even the biggest things.

The blizzard continued.

Hua Ya occasionally hears weather forecasts and current disaster situations from the big radio outside.

The temperature outside has dropped sharply from minus 20 degrees to minus 37 degrees. If this continues, it will not be a problem to break through minus 40 degrees in two days.

There has been no news about Gu Tinglan, but Hua Ya knows that as long as she waits, Gu Tinglan will definitely come back.

He promised Hua Ya and never broke his promise.

Hua Ya closed all the doors in the house, leaving only a small gap on the balcony.

Thanks to Gu Tinglan who sealed the gap between the windows with a tarpaulin a few days ago, otherwise the room wouldn't be so warm.

She stayed at home alone for a week, and then Aunt Gao came over.

"There is nothing wrong in our army, and we are fully prepared. As for the people outside, some people did not listen to the army's warning and did not increase their reserves of firewood, coal, and food. Some people simply repaired the roofs of their homes as in previous years. , I thought I could get by."

Aunt Gao wrapped another military coat outside her cotton-padded jacket. She was shivering from the cold as she walked up one floor.

"In previous years, our island patrol team only had five teams. This year, Xiao Gu has arranged for twenty more teams." Aunt Gao drank a cup of hot water, then put the enamel cup on the stove to continue heating.

She happily told Hua Ya: "There are two or three old leaders in our army who saw that the weather had gotten better some time ago and thought that it would pass peacefully like in previous years. They even went to Lao Ruan to tell him about this. In front of Xiao Gu , saying that he is a young man with no experience, is too over-prepared, and is a waste of troop resources. We should hurry up and seize the time to do winter training."

"Could they be veteran cadres who trained in the rest house?" Hua Ya heard from Lin Yun that there were a few veteran cadres in the rest house who had no power and liked to dictate the current decisions of the army. It doesn't mean much, it just adds more obstruction.

"That's right." Aunt Gao said and sneered: "Look again, the people outside are now counting on the patrol team to rescue them. If Xiao Gu hadn't prepared well in advance, now we have to It's a mess. There are also aging and repairs to the house. Even if the climate is not like this, it should be repaired. What's more, we must prevent such a climate in advance. Those people are old and their brains are not working. They didn't see any before retirement. No matter how much you contribute, at the critical moment, your lip service will only cause trouble for your own people."

Hua Ya had never heard Gu Tinglan mention this problem at all. After she learned about it from Aunt Gao, she was furious: "I think they are old and just muddle along with luck. We should treat them all." After being thrown outside and living with the affected people for a few days, they will know how good the patrol team is."

Aunt Gao smiled and said: "Xiao Gu must have known that you would be angry if he told you, so he didn't tell you about it. He has always been confident in his own judgment. He hasn't taken it to heart yet, so don't make yourself too angry. Look back, Xiao Gu. Gu still has to say whether I am worthy or not."

"How can I say you are not good?" Hua Ya hugged the enamel cup and warmed her hands, muttering: "Running outside to save people in this weather is more difficult than training in winter, so I just have to be formalistic and not care about the lives of the people. ."

Aunt Gao said: "So Xiao Gu advocated suspending the winter training this year and then moving it, and carried out two weeks of extreme weather training. Our family, Lao Ruan, absolutely trusts Xiao Gu's arrangements and arranged Xiao Gu's training against all objections. Put it first. These days, their judgment is absolutely correct, and many people should be saved by them."

While Hua Ya was talking to Aunt Gao, she suddenly shivered and felt a bit colder in the room.

She ran to the balcony, opened the door, shoveled some crushed coal with a spatula, returned to the living room and poured it into the stove. He used the stove hook to stir up the fire.

She muttered: "We who have coal and live in buildings are still frozen like this, what should other people do at home?" If too many people were affected by the disaster, how much would her eight pounds suffer?

Hua Ya knows that many people on the island live in bungalows. After a heavy snowfall, they are easily buried in the deep snow. Gu Tinglan asked each of their families to prepare a small red flag and hang it on the tallest tree. In this way, when the patrol team sees the little red flag, they will know that there is someone here.

The red flag is not only their beacon, but also the hope of ordinary people's lives.

Aunt Gao also thought about the living conditions of the people. She heard Ruan Lu say that many people's homes were affected by the disaster. Some houses collapsed, some quilts were soaked by rain and snow and could not keep them warm, and some had elderly, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant people. wait.

Even normal people who have not encountered the above-mentioned conditions will find it difficult to endure temperatures close to minus 40 degrees Celsius when encountering such extreme weather.

"I think the members of our family committee are all members of the military, and we cannot sit back and wait for death. The people's daily necessities are in short supply, and materials from other places cannot be brought in for the time being." Aunt Gao said firmly: "I want us to organize a donation and donate some Winter supplies. We don't advocate the act of giving by burning ourselves to warm others. We only take out the extra heating supplies or food at home."

"Then how do we notify other family committee members?" Hua Ya wrinkled her little face. It was so windy and snowy outside that she promised her eight pounds not to go out. Even if she goes out, when the strong wind blows, her soul will fly away.

Aunt Gao came here to discuss this matter with her. When Hua Ya asked, she took out a walkie-talkie from her pocket.

Hua Ya couldn't help but laugh: "You came prepared."

Aunt Gao said: "You don't know there is a building manager in our building, right?"

Hua Ya knew nothing about it.

Aunt Gao said with a smile: "We have three families in this building. Political Commissar Zhou's family originally lived here on the fourth floor. He was in poor health and stayed in the military hospital all year round. They didn't care about anything happening here. Inside and outside. Our two families are here. Normally, each building will have a building manager. Before you came, it was assumed that I, who lives here, would be in charge."

It's not that Aunt Gao likes to be an official. Before Hua Ya came, she was the only one in the family here, so she had to do it properly. Later Hua Ya came over and they got along happily without any conflicts. The two families took turns taking care of the hygiene in the building, and the identity of the building manager had long been forgotten.

If this incident hadn't happened, Aunt Gao would have forgotten that she had multiple jobs and had the additional identity of building manager.

"The building manager of each building has a walkie-talkie in his hand. Lao Ruan had a long quarrel with others over this. These walkie-talkies were all eliminated by the army. Some of them were scrapped and Xiao Nie repaired them little by little." Aunt Gao turned on the intercom and pressed the call button.

Immediately there was a buzzing sound from the intercom.

Aunt Gao said with great experience: "This is Building No. 1, and this is Building No. 1. If other buildings hear this, please reply. Please reply."

After waiting for a moment, no other sound came.

Aunt Gao frowned and said, "Has it been left for too long and everyone has forgotten how to use it? Or is it out of power?"

Hua Ya had never used this thing before, so he couldn't help. He scratched his head and asked, "Can people in District 3 hear it?"

She was worried about Zhou Wenfang, who now lived in a bungalow.

As soon as Hua Ya finished speaking, Zhou Wenfang's voice came from the intercom: "This is Guaiyao Si in District Three. This is Guaiyao Si in District Three. If you hear me, please answer. Please answer."

The flower buds jumped with joy! It's great to know that Zhou Wenfang is okay.

"庺" means "one", Hua Ya understands this. But she couldn't understand "guai".

She asked Aunt Gao eagerly: "What does 'guai' mean?"

After Aunt Gao replied on the intercom, she told Hua Ya: "She has nothing serious to do. If anything happens, just report it to me. This girl has a very bright mind."

Hearing Hua Ya's question, Aunt Gao explained: "'guai' means 'seven'. She is the building manager of rows 7-14 over there, and she also has a walkie-talkie."

Because it was a public channel, the voices of several family members and building directors appeared one after another. Aunt Gao conveyed her intention and soon received unanimous consent from the family members.

Hua Ya listened eagerly to Zhou Wenfang's voice and felt that it was quite energetic, so she put her heart in her stomach.

There was also Fangyuan's voice coming from behind, and it didn't sound like there was any problem. Hua Ya's little face, which had been stern for several days, finally showed a smile.

"Okay, now that we have finished conveying what needs to be conveyed, let's sort out the rest at home. Soldiers will come later to collect it at each building leader's home."

Aunt Gao explained to Hua Ya: "I know you are very motivated, but you must consider your own needs. Putting self-care first is not selfish, but responsible for everyone. Do you understand what I mean?"

Of course Hua Ya understands that she has taken good care of herself these days. Only by taking good care of yourself can Bajin, who is performing tasks outside, feel at ease.

After Aunt Gao left, Hua Ya started to pack things up.

She has two pairs of sweaters and wool pants that she can donate, as well as some dry food. In addition, 40 pounds of coal are saved and can be donated. This is not because she is stingy, the coal at home is sufficient. If she didn't donate, she would be heartbroken when she thought that the people needed help in times of distress.

She knew that as long as she got through these few days and the supplies from outside came in, she would be fine.

Before leaving, Aunt Gao asked her not to go downstairs, but to throw her directly from the window to the first floor. Of course Hua Ya didn't want to go out in such weather, so she wrapped the supplies, opened the window and threw them out.

In just ten seconds, a cold wind swept into the room. Hua Ya shivered and closed the window tightly. Then I ran to the stove to warm up the cold air on my body.

I don't know if Bajin can withstand the cold outside.

Hua Ya rubbed her little hands. She really couldn't imagine what it would be like to go out to rescue people in such weather.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that the room was colder than it had just been when Aunt Gao left.

She added more coal into it, closed the coal opening, and got closer with the blanket wrapped around her.

The sound of wind and snow outside was so loud that she didn't even hear the people coming downstairs to move supplies.

She baked herself an egg in the evening and couldn't eat anything else.

The bedroom was not as warm as the living room, so she simply put the quilt on the sofa, took Gu Tinglan's vest and hugged it in her arms, and fell asleep slowly.

Chapter 147

Zhou Wenfang wrapped herself in all the cold-proof clothes at home. She was the building manager and had to receive donations from others in the yard.

Unlike the cadre area here, the family members know each other well and know everything about them.

Many people here are contract workers. They worked this year and quit next year. Old people have left and new people have come. Everyone looks familiar to each other. In order to avoid being taken advantage of by others, Zhou Wenfang had to sort out the supplies and stack them in the yard after registering.

The hot water bottle in her arms gradually lost its temperature, and Zhou Wenfang was reluctant to put it back into the house. As long as it could be higher than her body temperature, she would not let it go.

The pen can no longer be used. The ink in the pen tube has frozen into ice cubes. She found a pencil that had been thrown into the corner of the drawer at some point, and registered the supplies that others had brought in one by one.

There were nearly two hundred households, and they brought in a lot of things. Every household should be involved. Regardless of whether you do it willingly or not, the most important thing is to provide help to the people in times of need.

It was almost dinner time, and soldiers dragging large trucks came over in the wind and snow.

Zhou Wenfang pointed toward the yard, her nose and mouth were frozen, and she couldn't make a sound.

The other person nodded and gave her a thumbs up. Standing in the wind and snow, he drove her home.

Zhou Wenfang was eager to return to the house quickly. She handed the registration list to the other party and trotted back home.

After all, it was still warm at home, and the sparks shining in the stove were her hope to continue.

The couple next door had been quarreling over food and drink since the day before yesterday, about who had one more bite and one bite less. Zhou Wenfang felt panicked by the commotion, but later felt that it would be better to make some noise than to be alone in an empty room.

Hearing Wu Yu's cry next door, Zhou Wenfang really wanted to imitate her spirit. Wouldn't it be better for a couple to stay together in the cold weather to keep each other warm? Instead of wasting all their energy on making noises.

Zhou Wenfang knew that this was not good, but he had spent the past two days listening to the quarrels at their house to pass the time.

She slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night. When the quarrels next door stopped in the middle of the night, she found a book and started reading.

As I watched, suddenly the light bulb above my head flashed, and the power went out.

Zhou Wenfang was dumbfounded alone in the dark room.

Sitting quietly for a while, I remembered the candles I bought the other day that Hua Ya said would be convenient for lighting. She lit two candles, one on the dining table and one on the coffee table. Then he took out the mirror in the bedroom and placed it on the coffee table facing the candle, hoping to reflect more light.

Unable to sleep, Zhou Wenfang felt no peace of mind at all. She came here to work and to visit her parents' graves every year. The home she grew up in has been assigned to someone else. Her grandparents' side is not her home, it can only be regarded as her hometown.

Zhou Wenfang was lying on the sofa, staring at the dark ceiling in a daze, feeling the cold air around her. She thought: "Is this shabby bungalow my home?"

The kitchen is leaking air everywhere, and the roof is leaking when it rains. The pipes are often clogged, so you have to go to a public bathhouse to take a shower.

In the summer, mosquitoes are coming, and as long as you open the windows, the screens can't stop them.

Sometimes when she was sleeping at home, she felt something crawling on her arm. When she opened her eyes, she saw a multi-legged money string on her arm looking at her.

Zhou Wenfang felt that she was going to have a auntie, or it was caused by the extreme weather. She is not a sentimental person, she is a strong person.

I don't know when I fell asleep. When I woke up early the next morning, this strong woman almost collapsed.

There was no other reason. The only thing that could support her at present was the coal piled in the corner of the yard.

The coal that Hua Ya worked so hard to pull back for her weighed four hundred kilograms. It was fine when she registered supplies last night.

Zhou Wenfang looked at the small courtyard next to her, where Wu Yu and her husband had started a new round of quarrel.

Today's main content is that Wu Yu's husband sold the coal distributed by the organization to three large unity cards. Wu Yu was very happy at first, but when she saw such a cold weather, she couldn't bear it without burning the stove, so she and her husband He cursed.

Wu Yu's family had no coal at all, and the little firewood they had burned out, and they had been without heating for two days.

Zhou Wenfang took a look at their chimney and saw that there was indeed no coal burning.

The matter was very simple. She was anxious to go back to the house to keep warm last night, and she briefly handed over to the person who collected the supplies. It is estimated that the other party planned to take it back and check the list later, so they simply took away everything in the yard.

Things donated by two hundred families were piled up in the small courtyard. The other party may have seen the coal and these materials piled close to each other and wanted to send them to the people quickly, so they did not carefully distinguish them.

It's hard to say who was at fault for this, but if we had to say it, then Zhou Wenfang was unlucky.

Wu Yu forced her husband to go out to cut firewood in the heavy snow. She came out of the house cursing and shouted: "Seeing that the snow is about to stop, we can get firewood on the low mountain behind. You can replenish as much firewood as you sell my coal." return!"

Wu Yu's man was a contract worker in the boiler factory. It turned out that he was not bald. He had shaved his head since the family had lice.

A bald head is not pleasing to the eye in this kind of weather. Just a few minutes after being out, I felt that the Tianling Cap was about to be cracked by the cold. Just like a ripe watermelon, one is hot and wants to explode, while the other is cold and wants to explode.

Wu Yu followed him out, also wrapped in clothes. She glanced into Zhou Wenfang's courtyard and saw that all the coal piled in Zhou Wenfang's courtyard was gone.

She was still thinking that she could go home smoothly, but she was shocked and cursed: "Sigh, I have never seen anyone pretending to be positive without risking his life. Why, the army can give you an official title? You are so pushy!"

Zhou Wenfang said deliberately: "Yes, I just love to be in the limelight. It's better than some people's speculation!"

Wu Yu and his wife were afraid that she would snitch to the organization, so they immediately stopped talking.

They reminded Zhou Wenfang that she could chop wood, and she quickly returned to the house to arm herself.

If nothing else, she wanted to chop wood. Otherwise, when the temperature drops at night, her life will really depend on this.

The bald man saw Zhou Wenfang going out with a sickle against the north wind. He turned around and said to Wu Yu: "You damn bitch, you know how to talk back to me. Get me a cotton hat quickly. Also, bring me the wine bottle." superior."

When Wu Yu saw that he was going to chop wood, he stopped making any noise and slipped into the house to get his cotton hat and wine bottle.

The bald man stood in the small courtyard, watching Zhou Wenfang twist and leave, thinking that he must do more than this bitch. Otherwise, the old ladies at home will definitely be embarrassed again.

"You should drink less alcohol outside." Wu Yu said worriedly: "What will you do if you want me to be a good person?"

The bald head said: "What can you do? Become a widow. Really, talk some unpleasant nonsense all day long, or else spread some unpleasant gossip with a group of low-level family members. People like you will go to hell. The one whose tongue was pulled out."

Wu Yu's caring words returned him full of resentment. Wu Yu knew that her ability to live a good life depended on this man, so she endured the angry words he said.

Wu Yu whispered: "I will settle the matter for you when you come back."

The bald man finally understood that all the virtuous looks this woman put on were just for the mouthful of food he gave her. You have to show some emotion when feeding a dog. Just because she was cold, she forced him to go out and cut wood at great risk as soon as the blizzard stopped.

Baldhead scolded him all the way. When I met people who were also cutting firewood, I couldn't help but chat with them.

The other party knows that this is a drunkard, and they don't know if they can continue to stay in the army next year. Everything he said was ignored.

On the contrary, Zhou Wenfang was walking in front, walking with several other women, and seemed much more lively than him.

Halfway through the walk, Baldhead thought about how he could let the old ladies at home sit and enjoy themselves while he was suffering and freezing outside. He stopped, didn't think much, and simply went back home.

Wu Yu finally coaxed her husband to go out to chop wood. When he saw that he was gone, he quickly fried the pork belly hidden in the kitchen in a pan.

The pork belly was not yet cooked, but her husband came back.

The bald man smelled the smell of meat and became angry. He rushed to Wu Yu, cursed a few times, and slapped him hard!

Wu Yu was stunned by him. His bald head smelled of alcohol, and he said: "Why are you so damn greedy? Are all people named Wu Yu so greedy? What's the same pronunciation of 'no desire and no desire'? I Looking at you Wu Yu, you are just an ugly, greedy and lazy old sow."

"How could you scold me like this!" Wu Yu burst into tears. Knowing that the bald head was really angry, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'm not lazy, I'll go chop wood with you now!"

The bald man knocked off the hand she held up, pointed at the pork belly and said, "Heat it for me first. I can't drink at home, so you can go."

Wu Yu said: "I can't do it. Where can I chop wood?"

The bald man had already taken a sip from the wine bottle and said, "The little girl next door can go there by herself, why are you not as good as her?"

Wu Yu hated Zhou Wenfang so much that the bald man said to her more than once that Zhou Wenfang was sentimental and could live a good life. This time, if Zhou Wenfang hadn't gone to chop wood in front of her husband, her husband wouldn't have been so angry that he came back to find fault with her.

Wu Yu put all the blame on Zhou Wenfang and put on all the thick clothes she could wear. Looking back, I looked at the bald man eating pork belly and drinking wine in the kitchen, and my teeth itched with hatred.

When Wu Yu rushed to the short mountain, there were not only adults cutting firewood, but also senior students from the study class who came out to collect firewood.

Everyone was busy chopping and gathering firewood, and no one said anything unnecessary.

The stone path on the low mountain was very slippery, so everyone walked up the mountainside from the path in the woods. Wu Yu searched around and saw Zhou Wenfang chopping firewood with several women.

Because of labor, Zhou Wenfang's face, which was pale from the cold, turned red. His young and collagen-filled face stung Wu Yu's face.

Wu Yu, who was in her forties, touched her face and became the kind of yellow-faced daughter-in-law she hated most.

She walked up behind Zhou Wenfang by mistake, deliberately bumped her foot and bumped into Zhou Wenfang!

She originally wanted to throw her down, but unexpectedly, Zhou Wenfang was so light that she rolled down the slope of the hillside quickly as everyone screamed.

There are snow and rocks on the hillside, and if you hit them, you will definitely suffer skin injuries.

Wu Yu eagerly stretched out his hand to hold her, but failed to hold her back. He couldn't stand firm either, and his feet were really sprained. She and Zhou Wenfang rolled down in tandem, sliding down with a lot of snow on the mountain. From a distance, it looks like a small avalanche.

Zhou Wenfang felt like her whole body was falling apart. Sometimes her mouth and nose were buried in the snow, and sometimes it emerged again. Rolling, rolling, faster and faster!

Zhou Wenfang knew that there was a frozen river at the foot of the mountain. If he fell onto the river and was buried in the snow chasing after him, he might not be able to climb out with his own strength.

She didn't know whether her head hit a stone on the ground or a dead tree stump. Thanks to her holding her head tightly, she was not seriously injured. The cotton on her sleeves even came out.

Gradually she couldn't hear any sound, and felt more and more snow behind her. It even made the sound of breaking branches.

She vaguely heard someone howling behind her. Her eyes darkened and she couldn't care about anything else.

Half an hour later.

Xie Weimin came here with the patrol team, and more than ten team members had a lot of trophies hanging on their bodies.

It is said that it is best for hunting when the mountains are closed by heavy snow. Many pheasants, sparrows, and rabbits will freeze to death.

Xie Weimin was lucky today. He had a hare on his waist and a small pheasant in the nylon net.

The team members behind him first noticed signs of an avalanche. No one informed them that family members were coming to cut firewood. They thought it was panicked animals causing the snow to slide.

This is a common thing in the northern region, and it's really not a big deal for everyone to wander there.

When he was assigned to patrol in Aishan, Xie Weimin was still unhappy. His good skills should be used to save the people from fire and water.

Gu Tinglan only said one sentence to give up his idea.

"After the snowstorm, there should be a lot of poultry running out, and I don't know who can get an advantage."

Without saying a word, Xie Weimin led his team members to Aishan. It was as Gu Tinglan said, and I gained a lot along the way.

A soldier behind him pointed to the two snow packs in front of him and said excitedly to Xie Weimin: "Deputy regiment! These two guys must have caused the avalanche. I'll go take a look!"

This thing belongs to whoever sees it at first sight. Xie Weimin, with the idea that if you don't give others a favor, you have to take advantage of yourself, he charged at one of the snow bags without saying a word!

The soldiers behind had long expected that Deputy Xie would do this, and did not dare to scold him in front of him, so they had no choice but to hold their breath and rush over.

"Vice-in-charge, you have picked up a rabbit, so you can give me the good stuff here for free!"

Xie Weimin first ran to a snow bag and pulled it for a long time. When he saw the soldiers coming from behind, he finally pulled out a man.

Xie Weimin looked at Wu Yu with blood on his face and was dumbfounded. He quickly asked: "Who rolled down with you?"

Wu Yu was dying, being shaken back and forth by him, so she could only manage to say: "Yes, it's little bitches."

Little girl?

Depend on.

Speaking of little girls, besides Zhou Wenfang, who else ranks first in the three districts? !

With how energetic she is all day long, she ranks second and no one ranks first!

Xie Weimin suddenly dropped Wu Yu and ran with all his strength to the snow bun where Zhou Wenfang was.

The soldiers behind thought he had discovered something good and hurriedly shouted: "Don't just think about taking advantage of yourself, you have to show your style!"

At this time, show off your bullshit style!

Xie Weimin took out the military shovel and dug down fiercely. While digging, he told the soldiers who came behind him: "I must take advantage of this, even if I don't want to take it! Anyone who takes my credit is no different from poaching my corner!" "

Zhou Wenfang felt like she was being pulled out of the snow, just like pulling out a green onion. Thanks to the tight belt of her cotton pants, otherwise it would have been ugly.

I don't know if it was the consensus of people with a single mind, but Xie Weimin tested Zhou Wenfang's breathing in his mouth and nose, pinched his limbs, and found that everything was normal.

Then, he carried Zhou Wenfang on his left shoulder, like a bag of sandbags, and ran towards the jeep.

Zhou Wenfang felt the nightmare feeling and desperately opened his eyes.

Xie Weimin was a little panicked after all. What he was carrying on his shoulders was no one else but his future happiness.

He ran faster and faster, breathing heavily.

Suddenly he felt Zhou Wenfang's arm strangling his neck, and there were signs of it getting tighter.

He knew Zhou Wenfang was awake, and he shouted while running: "I'll take you to the hospital, don't move! Hey, hey, strangle me gently!"

"Run carefully!" Zhou Wenfang was so stressed that she said to Xie Weimin tenaciously: "You must remember that I am a human being, not a explosive bag! I can't stand it a second time! You must not kill me again Throw it out!"

Chapter 148

Hua Ya stretched out her hand to test the temperature of Zhou Wenfang's forehead, which was slightly hot.

Zhou Wenfang sneezed and his trembling condition improved.

She was sent to the military hospital for examination by Xie Weimin. The doctor said there was nothing wrong with her and only a slight soft tissue contusion, so he kicked her out.

There were many victims of the disaster lying in the corridor of the hospital, and everyone seemed to be in much more serious condition than she was.

Xie Weimin sent her from the hospital to Hua Ya's home, insisting that she was worried about letting her go home alone. In fact, secretly, I wanted Zhou Wenfang to use some heat.

Xie Weimin donated all the coal tickets issued, which made him very upset. Otherwise, it would be a good time for him to help him in times of need.

Zhou Wenfang started to have a fever when she arrived at Huaya's house, and it took her a day and night to get better.

Hua Ya spread out the sofa and it turned out to be a folding sofa. After spreading them out, she and Zhou Wenfang slept huddled next to the fire all night.

Xie Weimin helped clean up the hares and pheasants, and handed them to Hua Ya for her to replenish Zhou Wenfang. After saying that, he didn't have time to take a sip of water and left after receiving the order.

Hua Ya finally found the person to talk to. As soon as Zhou Wenfang opened her eyes, she could hear her whispering. Before she closed her eyes and fell asleep, her little mouth was still talking.

Zhou Wenfang became angry and struggled up from the thick quilt: "Do you take care of patients like this? My mind is buzzing, you were a bee in your previous life."

Seeing that she was energetic, Hua Ya stuffed the hot milk into her hand and said, "No matter which life you are a bee in, I will always be around you."

Zhou Wenfang asked feebly: "Why?"

Hua Ya's little mouth was smeared with honey and she said, "Because you are so sweet."

Zhou Wenfang's face exploded, she stopped drinking milk and buried herself in the quilt. Then he quickly exposed his head and said, "You can talk, but you are not allowed to secretly fart under the covers."

Hua Ya said fiercely: "We are under the eaves, why don't you lower your head?!"

Zhou Wenfang was sleeping in a warm quilt. She turned around and said in a good mood: "What were you thinking when you had close contact with Gu Tinglan for the first time?"

This topic jumps a lot.

Hua Ya also got under the quilt and said with an embarrassed smile: "It just feels so hard."

Zhou Wenfang first cursed in her heart, "Gu Tinglan is a beast." After finishing, he said: "It's not what I thought, is it? How long have we known each other?"

Hua Ya said in detail: "It's on the reef island. I rushed to open the door and bumped into him. He hugged my waist and wouldn't let go."

Thinking about it now, Hua Ya always felt that Gu Tinglan had quietly wiped herself off at that time. Not so sure though.

She scratched her head, then leaned towards Zhou Wenfang's pillow like a little lunatic and said, "Did you two kiss?"

Zhou Wenfang blushed and pulled aside the messy hair on Hua Ya's face. After seeing it more pleasing to the eye, she said, "How can you kiss? Not even a lick, let alone a lick."

Hua Ya couldn't understand why their relationship was so laborious. Hua Xiaoya came over recklessly, hit it off with Gu Bajin, and quickly achieved success. Until now, let alone arguing, there was no time to even stare.

Zhou Wenfang and Xie Weimin were interested in a concubine, but they couldn't get together. Don't perform a performance that is destined to be unrelated. It will simply make those who see it sad and those who listen to it cry.

"Then what do you mean by intimate contact?" Hua Ya couldn't help the rising desire for gossip, and carefully tested Huang Hua's heart: "Did he touch your hand?"

Zhou Wenfang shook her head shyly.

Hua Ya guessed again: "Is it on the cheek?"

Zhou Wenfang said: "No, no, why are you so vulgar?"

The vulgar Hua Xiaoya was completely annoyed. She patted the quilt and said, "Then why are we in close contact? It's absolutely impossible to be naked - um -"

Zhou Wenfang covered Hua Ya's mouth to prevent her from saying embarrassing words.

"It's nothing. He was the one who carried me to the military hospital when I was buried in the snow." Zhou Wenfang wrapped her hair around her temples with her fingertips and said, "His shoulders are so broad."

The corners of Hua Ya's lips twitched. She felt that Zhou Wenfang must have been rushed to his brain by the snow, and his brain was soaked in snow water, making it difficult to use. If she helped Zhou Wenfang control his head, the water inside would flow from the sofa to the stairs.

Zhou Wenfang has never had such close contact with a gay man in her whole life. Seeing that Hua Ya remained silent, she said, "Speak."

Hua Ya actually said something: "If this is called close contact, then our children will be able to fight each other."

Zhou Wenfang was harassed and wanted to go home, but Hua Ya held her down and refused to let her go: "Why are you going back to that ice cave? Are you addicted to the cold palace?"

"You just entered the cold palace." Zhou Wenfang smiled, smelling the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes in the stove, and took the stove hook in his hand.

Hua Ya slapped her forehead: "If you don't take it out, I'll forget about it. Take it out quickly."

Zhou Wenfang took out five small sweet potatoes in succession, picked them out while wearing labor protection gloves, and threw them on the stove to continue heating. Seeing that oranges were roasting on the stove, he said, "It's good for people to eat roasted oranges. I used to like to eat these in winter when I had a cough. Why do you suddenly think of eating this?"

Hua Ya peeled the roasted sweet potato, blew in her mouth, and said without raising her head: "It's roasted for you."

Zhou Wenfang's heart softened, and she stretched out her hand to take the sweet potato from Huayao into her hand: "I'll help you peel it. Look, your hands are all black after peeling."

Hua Ya sighed, filial children are the blessing of parents, this sentence really makes sense.

But she didn't dare to say this in front of Zhou Wenfang. After all, this child has grown up and his heart has become rebellious. Always switching between being a filial daughter and being an unfilial daughter.

The two of them stayed together for three or four days, sleeping when they were sleepy and reading and chatting when they woke up.

The circuit in District 1 is better than that in District 3, and there is still electricity at night. The two of them just lay on the coffee table, reading and studying. Have a quarrel from time to time.

Halfway through, Gu Tinglan came back once.

Hua Ya became excited when she saw his sticky behavior. Zhou Wenfang couldn't stand it anymore, so she packed up her things and wanted to leave.

Gu Tinglan told her: "The pipes in the third district are aging and the water pipes burst. There is no water or electricity, so you stay here. Just stay with my wife."

Zhou Wenfang didn't expect that the third district would be so serious. She still thought that she had to make some contribution as the building manager, so she listened to Gu Tinglan said: "Your accident was caused by Wu Yu, and the patrol team on the fourth floor of Guaiyao Take responsibility, you don't have to worry about it. Cultivate yourself first."

As he said that, he put down his backpack, took out the little pheasant wrapped in plastic bags and said, "Xie Dazui asked me to bring it here, and asked my wife to help you recuperate."

Hua Ya was reluctant to let Zhou Wenfang leave. She didn't even have anyone to talk to after Zhou Wenfang left. I don't know when the day will end. When she saw the little pheasant that had been cleaned up, she hurriedly said: "I'm going to stew wild ginseng chicken soup. It's eight pounds. Can you finish it before leaving?"

Her eyes were full of expectation, but Gu Tinglan spent his rest time visiting his little wife and couldn't stay for another minute.

Before he left, he gave Hua Ya the gift he had specially asked for and said, "If you're bored, just listen to this. The instructions are in the box."

Hua Ya held the box and looked at it, cheering!

"Semiconductor radio!"

Zhou Wenfang heard someone talk about this thing in a letter, and became interested. She and Hua Ya squatted on the side of the coffee table to play with it.

Gu Tinglan rubbed Hua Ya's head and took a small peck while Zhou Wenfang wasn't paying attention.

Hua Ya couldn't bear to leave him and looked at him deeply.

Gu Tinglan walked to the door and saw his little wife's pitiful eyes, and said, "I'm not injured. The supplies outside are already on the way. Ruan Lujia has sent rescue workers, so don't worry."

Zhou Wenfang suddenly said: "I heard from Xie Weimin that Sardinia won't give us supplies."

Gu Tinglan nodded and said: "It's just that the government didn't do anything, but the people voluntarily sent a lot of supplies to our island. The leaders of the town and the people are not of the same mind. This matter will be settled with them after the disaster has passed. Second A batch of supplies was sent over from Haicheng, and the radio was also brought over by someone over there, so you can listen to it first to pass the time."

Hua Ya walked up to Gu Tinglan and touched his hand.

In just ten days, Gu Tinglan's big hands became much rougher. I picked up the flower buds and looked at them, and sure enough I saw traces of frostbite.

Gu Tinglan withdrew his hand and put it on Hua Ya's face: "Do you remember what I said?"

Hua Ya nodded: "I'll wait for you at home and won't go anywhere."

After Gu Tinglan left, Hua Ya looked back at Zhou Wenfang who was squatting on the ground. She looked at the ceiling and rolled her eyes. Hua Ya slapped Zhou Wenfang on the back and said, "What kind of monster are you making?"

Zhou Wenfang said: "I'm so scared, please take it easy. You two are always like this, and I feel uncomfortable watching it."

Hua Ya said ruthlessly: "If you feel uncomfortable, go find someone. It's none of my business."

The two of them were silent for a moment, and then Hua Ya plugged in the power supply of the semiconductor radio.

Semiconductors at this time were still very large, about the size of two shoe boxes. On the left is the speaker, and on the right are two rows of buttons and frequencies.

The signal is not very good now. Hua Ya and Zhou Wenfang spent a long time adjusting, and finally heard the Beijing opera "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" coming from inside.

Zhou Wenfang hadn't heard this for many years. She grabbed Hua Ya's sleeve and said, "Just listen to this. This is really good."

Hua Ya also wanted to hear this. After confirming the station, he quickly made two cups of malted milk, took out dried squid and Zhou Wenfang grilled it while listening.

After there were all kinds of noises at home, I felt like time passed quickly.

After listening to "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", I found another program: "Daily Hits", which played "Ussuri Barcarolle" and "Horse, Go Slower". After these two songs were played, a few more childlike nursery rhymes were played.

Hua Ya hugged the enamel cup, shaking her head and enjoying the hard-won music.

Zhou Wenfang also felt very happy, as if all the complicated things in his mind were driven away by the beautiful songs.

By the time the temperature started to rise, it would be ten days later.

The sky that had been gloomy for a whole month finally saw blue sky and white clouds.

Hua Ya tried to open the window, stretched out her hand to feel it, and said excitedly to Zhou Wenfang: "The evil wind has really stopped!"

They heard from the radio that there would be signs of temperature rising in the next two days, but they didn't expect that the weather would actually turn sunny again.

Zhou Wenfang lay beside the window, breathing in the cold air outside. Compared with the extremely cold climate, the normal temperature of minus ten degrees is already spring for them.

Many family members had already stepped out in the snow. They seemed to have had enough of this violent snowstorm. They took big brooms and shovels and vowed to clear the snow as soon as possible.

Hua Ya took Zhou Wenfang's hand, stamped her feet excitedly and said, "Let's go help too!"

Chapter 149

"Have you heard? Not a single person was killed in this heavy snowstorm. Captain Gu made a great contribution this time." A family member who was sweeping the floor said to the people next to him carelessly: "If you listen to those retired old men, If so, I don't know how many people will die."

"Oh my god, you're absolutely right. I'm afraid the roof will blow away when I stay in the house."

The family member next to her was also a rough figure. While sweeping the snow, he said: "Our Lao Zhu also said this. Originally there were five patrol teams, but they were increased to twenty patrol teams. Later, 20,000 people were directly sent to support the people. Who can Is it so powerful? Apart from Ruan Lu, no one else in 031 can have this skill except Captain Gu."

"Thanks to Brigade Ruan for trusting Captain Gu and not accepting the suggestions made by those bad old men. Otherwise, without increasing the patrol team, repairing basic facilities, and increasing material reserves, let alone the common people, we would all be finished! "

"That's right, we still have eighty kilograms of coal at home. It won't be a problem to pick up some firewood to use until the Chinese New Year!"

"Have you heard that Haicheng has sent us a lot of supplies? It is indeed a big city, and it is generous to spend money."

"It used to be that when we went to Haicheng, we had to take a boat to go around Sardinia. Now that there is a bridge, it is much more convenient. We can go directly through it." The family member suddenly said in a low voice: "I heard that the explosion on the bridge last time was caused by enemy agents. He did it. Captain Gu's wife found out--"

"You are all here!" It was Li Ping who was sweeping the floor next to them. Seeing that the two of them were talking without restraint, she quickly changed the subject and said something else: "How much coal does your family use? Our house is really too cold. We built two stoves and used more than half of the coal."

Lao Zhu's wife didn't think much about it: "My family received 300 kilograms of coal this year, and now we have more than 100 kilograms left. Your family is really willing to light two stoves."

Li Ping casually chatted with them for a few words, then saw Hua Ya and Zhou Wenfang coming down.

She said hello to them, and after hearing about Zhou Wenfang's fall down the mountain, she expressed her condolences: "Are you feeling better now? Thank you for being caught by the patrol team, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

Zhou Wenfang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I am also lucky, and I met a kind-hearted person. I had a fever when I came back, and I was fine the next day."

Hua Ya couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard the word "good Samaritan" and decided to call Xie Da Zui a good Samaritan from now on.

Li Ping said: "Then you should also keep warm and never shine again. It's too uncomfortable to get sick in this weather."

Zhou Wenfang thanked her for her concern and found a shovel to knock the ice off the path.

Hua Ya collected the snow with a dustpan and piled it to the roadside. Zhou Wenfang helped for a while. Still thinking about things at home, Hua Ya asked her to go home first.

Walking to the front of the small courtyard of his home, Zhou Wenfang was stunned.

The small courtyard has been carefully tidied up, and the snow inside has been cleared away early. The tables, chairs, stove, etc. in the small courtyard have all been scrubbed.

When you walk into the courtyard, you can still smell the faint smell of disinfectant.

This was because she was afraid that there would be more bacteria after the snow melted. Knowing that she loves to be clean, she disinfected her in advance.

The house was just as it was when she left, no one came in. The candle she lit was still in the soda bottle. The wax oil flows along the mouth of the bottle and onto the bottle body, like a small waterfall.

Zhou Wenfang tried to light a lamp, and when it came on, he tried the faucet again. Biting-cold groundwater emerged from the pipe. While she was away, District Three had repaired the pipes and reconnected with electricity.

She checked around the house, and when she walked back to the courtyard, she found that there were piles of firewood piled high in the yard where the coal used to be.

Because the pile was so high, she didn't even notice it when she first entered the yard.

The bald man next door heard the commotion and came out. He saw Zhou Wenfang returning home. He smelled of alcohol and grinned politely and said, "You're back? Um, are there any other discomforts in your body?"

His wife was taken away by Deputy Commander Xie himself and kept in a detention room for more than a week. After asking around, he found out that his wife was so evil that she actually wanted to murder Zhou Wenfang while chopping firewood.

The bald man was so frightened that he had to renounce anything to do with Wu Yu. He declared in a big way that this matter had nothing to do with him. He drank too much and didn't know anything after sleeping.

Although in fact it was similar to what he said, his behavior of leaving his wife out and trying to protect himself still made many people look down upon him.

Zhou Wenfang didn't like Wu Yu, but he also disliked Jiu Mengzi.

After shaving his head, he still smelled of alcohol when he smiled, looking vulgar and dangerous.

The bald head obviously wanted to talk to Zhou Wenfang about this matter. It happened that the neighbor on the other side of Zhou Wenfang's house was not there, so he walked to the short fence and wanted to step over and talk to Zhou Wenfang to reason.

Zhou Wenfang quickly took a few steps back. She really had nothing to talk about with the drunk man. She picked up the hammer on the ground and shouted, "Don't come over here."

The bald man didn't listen to her words, and walked into Zhou Wenfang's courtyard with one leg, saying, "I just want to chat with you, nothing else."

Zhou Wenfang didn't believe his nonsense and refused: "Go back to me now, or I will call someone!"

The bald man smiled disapprovingly and said, "Is there anyone in a low-level area like District 3 who is willing to come and help you? Besides, I don't do anything else, why are you nervous?"

As he spoke, he held on to the low fence unsteadily and tried to step over with his other leg.

Just when Zhou Wenfang clenched the hammer and hesitated whether to hit it with the hammer, suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from behind Zhou Wenfang, as agile as the big black man raised by Zhou Wenfang's grandma.

"Big Heizi" kicked the bald man in the stomach, then threw him over his shoulder!

The bald head was severely slapped to the ground!

Xie Weimin couldn't help but get angry and kicked him a few more times!

"Don't be nervous if you have the guts. Let's see if I let you take a breather!"

The bald man was holding his head on the ground and yelling, attracting the attention of several passers-by.

They originally wanted to come over to see what was going on, but when they saw cadres in high-end military uniforms rolling up their sleeves and beating people ferociously, with young soldiers blocking the back, they all had the foresight to speed up and leave the scene.

Xie Weimin specifically hit him under his ribs and under his armpits, leaving no trace but still causing great pain.

The little soldier behind him rolled his eyes and was about to pass when he saw that the bald head was beaten so hard that he couldn't breathe. Then he stretched out his hand and pulled Xie Weimin and pretended to shout: "Deputy commander, you can't do this!"

The top of his bald head was red from being thrown red by him or from drinking. After being beaten wildly by Xie Weimin, he held his head and started crying: "Oh, don't hit me, it hurts! Please let me go, wuwuwu - let me go! I really don't want to do anything else." !I was wrong, brother, I was wrong--"

Xie Weimin yelled: "Are you damn qualified to be my brother? Looking at 031, there is only one damn person who can be a brother to me. You are not even qualified to carry his shoes, so who are you?!"

Zhou Wenfang had seen too many bald men's chauvinist side in front of Wu Yu. He would yell at him when he got home from get off work. Unexpectedly, he was beaten several times and started to cry.

A man who thought he was so strong turned out to be a loser.

Xie Weimin was not used to his bald head, so he asked the soldiers behind him to lift him up, pointed at the short fence and said, "You like to straddle this thing, don't you? Come on, let me straddle it, back and forth!"

Zhou Wenfang walked behind him and tugged on his sleeves. Xie Weimin was furious, but as soon as he came over, he saw the bald head squinting and trying to climb over the fence to bully Zhou Wenfang.

It would be nice if he didn't hang his bald head on the fence and use it as a sausage. A few beatings would be considered mild!

Feeling Zhou Wenfang tugging on his sleeve, Xie Weimin realized belatedly that he seemed to have said a dirty word just now.

Xie Weimin secretly glanced at Zhou Wenfang's face with his peripheral vision and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not angry because of the words "I" and "Fuck".

Xie Weimin said to Zhou Wenfang with a righteous face: "Don't be afraid, this is the territory of the army, and there are bad guys who will help you take care of it."

Zhou Wenfang looked at his back and said nothing. She is not the Virgin White Lotus, and she should have undue sympathy for a drunkard who seems to be intruding into her private realm.

The bald man didn't dare to refuse, whimpering softly while jumping back and forth over the fence. Zhou Wenfang covered her eyes, feeling that these eyes were really useless.

The little warrior couldn't stand it, turned his head to one side, and said disgustingly: "This man looks so manly, why is he so bitchy?"

Zhou Wenfang glanced at him lightly and said, "What's wrong, ladies?"

"Man" is used as a compliment, but "girl" is used as a curse?

The little warrior hurriedly said: "No, no, I just said he has no manliness. It's not that he looks down on lesbians. I slapped him, I was wrong."

Xie Weimin turned around and looked at Zhou Wenfang, who was hesitating to speak, and finally said to the little soldier: "I'm busy these days, so you can help me keep an eye on this place when you have time. If that damn thing dares to take a step closer, skin him." "

The little warrior said simply: "Yes!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhou Wenfang chased after him for two steps and pointed at the tall firewood and said, "Did you make these?"

Xie Weimin glanced at him without saying a word and walked away.

Zhou Wenfang hated him for not having a long mouth.

But it was the little soldier he left behind who had the aura to realize the turbulent undercurrent between their deputy regiment and this lesbian.

"It's not easy to get these firewood." He seized the opportunity to speak for Xie Weimin: "These are the firewood accumulated by our deputy regiment during his rest time. Every time he returns from a mission, he does not rest and chops firewood. After working so hard these days, there are actually so many of them. He is really a considerate and hard-working good comrade. He is definitely worthy of entrustment. Only we 031 have such good comrades, and the unmarried young men are ranked first - "

Zhou Wenfang smiled and said, "It's enough if you praise me any more."

The little warrior scratched his head and said with a smile: "My name is Wang Wenlong. My sister-in-law can call me Xiaolong or Xiao Wang."

Zhou Wenfang heard him call "sister-in-law" and said, "Oh, let's call you Xiao Wang."

Xiao Wang said with a sad face: "Let's say 'king' instead of 'king', so we can be civilized."

Zhou Wenfang was amused by him: "Okay, I'll remember it."

The bald man who was hurdling back and forth on the opposite side smiled when he saw Zhou Wenfang and shouted: "Sister, look at me -"

Xiao Wang walked up to him slowly, raised his chin, and glared: "Did I tell you to stop? Keep going! Stop whenever I tell you to. If you stop at will, you will be punished for half an hour!"

Zhou Wenfang said slowly behind him: "You are quite good at teaching people."

Xiao Wang said: "What's wrong with this? We, Deputy Commander Xie, are very capable of training people. Sister Xiaofang, let's not talk about anything else. I'll help you move some firewood into the house first. Wait until the evening You definitely won't be able to take much by yourself. If you have some free space, I can move it there for you."

Zhou Wenfang didn't want him to be burdened. Disaster relief was hard enough, so he said, "Thank you, just help me hold two of them and put them by the stove."

Xiao Wang disagreed. He wanted to win Xie Weimin's favor and said enthusiastically: "How can it be done? Just take charge of me and treat me as Deputy Commander Xie. Don't be polite to me. Being polite to me is just to be polite to Xie Weimin." The deputy captain is not familiar with me, so he knows he will be sad. When he is sad about the task, he will think randomly, and it is easy to make mistakes if he thinks randomly. "

Zhou Wenfang smiled and said: "What you mean is that it won't work even if I don't help you. Then please help me move half of it over."

Zhou Wenfang couldn't really let the little soldier move alone, so she piled a lot of firewood into the corner of the house.

Xiao Wang completed the task brilliantly, and Zhou Wenfang poured him a glass of water. He didn't think much and drank. God knows, his deputy commander Xie has not enjoyed this treatment yet.

Finally, the bald head who kept hurdling outside was stopped for punishment after falling two somersaults. He was almost sober, apologized to Zhou Wenfang repeatedly and quickly returned to his home and closed the door tightly.

Xiao Wang stood at the door and warned him again. He returned to the small courtyard to say hello to Zhou Wenfang and was about to leave. Zhou Wenfang brought him a big apple.

"Goodbye, Miss Xiaofang!"

Xiao Wang successfully completed the task and went back happily carrying the big apple.

Zhou Wenfang looked at his back, thinking that if Xie Weimin had such a mouth, she wouldn't be so angry with him that she couldn't sleep every two days.

The next day, Zhou Wenfang baked sesame seed cakes at home and delivered them to Hua Ya. The sesame cakes are stuffed with meat fillings, and you won't get tired of eating them.

After the two of them finished eating together, Zhou Wenfang and Hua Ya went to the Monument of Heroes to see the boobies.

They arrived at the Monument of Heroes, which was close to the coast and was three or four degrees cooler than the family area. A group of boobies headed by the leader, like a penguin group, gathers other birds in the middle to keep warm. They use their fat bodies to resist the constant cold wind and snowflakes.

The leader of the boobies showed his style and stood on the outermost edge.

After eating good food for more than half a year, the body fat gained was finally put to use. When it saw the flower bud coming, it called out "chirp, chirp, chirp" to take credit.

Hua Ya nodded at it, indicating that she would reward it well in the future.

The leader of the boobies was very proud, knowing that he had made a good comeback.

Is this still far from regaining the position? Not far away!

Zhou Wenfang didn't know the little secret of the flower bud, so she thought it was hungry, so she fed it with the corn crumbs she brought over in the palm of her hand. The leader of the boobies had already eaten enough corn grains, and when he saw the flower buds nearby, he deliberately pretended to eat them one by one, just to show off.

Hua Ya walked to the center of the flock of birds and saw the little fat bird shivering in the cold. In addition to it, there are many smaller petrels.

Although someone from the army built a shelter for them to shelter them from wind and rain, they still couldn't stand the extremely cold weather in the past few days. If the booby leader hadn't taken them in in large numbers, they would have been frozen into ice sculptures.

Seeing Hua Ya coming over, the little fat bird lost his temper and threw himself into her palm and whispered: "Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp." I was wrong.

Hua Ya couldn't really be angry with it. Seeing it trembling, it made her feel bad.

She picked up the little fat bird and stuffed it into her pocket, gently rubbed its head with her index finger, and whispered: "Don't let you go to my house, so you can have a better memory."

Chapter 150

The second batch of supplies from Haicheng was delivered to the island, and the soldiers were busy with cleaning and rescue work. Members of the Family Committee voluntarily went to severely affected areas to help distribute supplies.

Before leaving, Gu Tinglan stood outside the jeep and told Hua Ya: "You and Zhou Wenfang are moving together. Don't take off the red gauze scarf on your head."

Hua Ya stuck her head out of the window and wanted to reach out and touch Gu Tinglan's face. The jeep was severely overloaded, with five family members crammed in the back seat alone. Hua Ya was embarrassed to extend her hand, but Gu Tinglan stretched out his hand generously and shook hands with her in a businesslike manner.

The moment their hands touched each other, he even scratched Huayu's palm in a self-serving manner.

Hua Ya's pretty little face turned red and she glared at Gu Tinglan complainingly.

Captain Gu was a busy man. As soon as he let go of his hand, Xiao Guazi ran over to report. He nodded and said to the soldier driving in front: "Only these family members can ride in this car. Others are not allowed to ride. No matter what happens, a few people go and a few come back."

The soldier driving the car said simply: "Yes!"

When the car drove away, Hua Ya was still lying on the car window, looking eagerly at Gu Tinglan's figure.

Zhou Wenfang leaned into Hua Ya's ear and said, "Why are you playing the role of Cowherd and Weaver Girl? It took me only half a day to come back. If you really can't bear it, don't go."

Of course Hua Ya wants to go, and she also wants to do her part for the army. Hearing the teasing in Zhou Wenfang's words, she turned her head and said, "You still talk about me, but are you willing to chop wood for you as a 'good man'?"

Squeezing in the back with them were Zhao Yu, Li Ping and another family member they were not very familiar with. The five lesbians sat staggered one after another and were close to each other. When they accidentally heard some gossip, Zhao Xue and others secretly pricked up their ears.

Zhou Wenfang suddenly blushed and said to Hua Ya, "Ling Ya Ya, I told you that I must return it."

Hua Ya chuckled: "Then you just can't let go of 'that one'."

Zhao Xue had a good relationship with them and couldn't help but ask: "Is there something wrong with Xiaofang?"

Hua Ya knew that Zhou Wenfang had not officially talked to Xie Weimin about a partner yet, so she quickly covered up for Zhou Wenfang and said: "If there is any 'situation', I was just joking with her. I just met a live Lei Feng. Don't talk nonsense. She couldn't get married in the first place, so it's your fault."

Zhou Wenfang thought that Hua Ya was sincerely speaking for her, but in the end, he was trying to squeeze her out again.

She tried to pinch the flower buds, but the girl tied them tightly, with three pieces on the left and three on the right. Her arms were so stretched that she could hardly let them go and couldn't pinch them at all.

Li Ping felt uncomfortable being squeezed in beside her. Everyone's cotton-padded clothes were bloated and there were so many people. After a while, Zhou Wenfang said to Hua Ya: "You sit on my lap. It's so crowded that I can hardly breathe. If you sit on my lap, we can relax in the back row."

Hua Ya hugged the seat in front of her. Zhou Wenfang moved and Hua Ya sat on her lap.

"Your legs are too uncomfortable to sit on." Hua Ya sat on them and moved around, feeling that they were too thin and insecure.

Zhou Wenfang said smoothly: "It's because your captain Gu's legs don't make it easy to sit on, so I can't bear to get down."

Hua Ya stuttered: "You, what are you talking about? I have never sat down."

After Zhou Wenfang said this, she regretted it and hurriedly slapped her mouth.

The explanation is a cover-up. These family members know Hua Ya's temperament very well, so this is completely an indirect admission.

As soon as these words were spoken, the other family members who were speaking all shut up and winked at each other crazily. The little soldier driving in front suddenly stepped on the accelerator and the jeep swayed. The little soldier hurriedly told several family members: "Yes, there is a stone."

Everyone knows whether it's because of the stones or not.

Who is Gu Tinglan?

031 is the second-in-command in private and a leader with an unstinting iron fist. No matter how messed up the soldiers are, they will all be docile when they see him.

If a lesbian takes three steps forward, he can push her back thirty steps. When he doesn't speak, he has a cold and cold temperament all over his body. When he speaks, he can make people angry to death.

Everyone thought that he had been thinking about military training and fighting all day long. Unexpectedly, he closed the door and hugged his wife without letting go. Just now, the eyes of the two people in the car and outside the car were about to go crazy. Wow, the man really changed his appearance as soon as he got married. , the steel has become soft around the fingers.

Hua Ya's little face was about to explode. She spread her legs angrily, lowered her head and pinched Zhou Wenfang's thigh.

Zhou Wenfang gritted his teeth to hold back the attack and did not fight back. He admitted his mistake with action.

Damn, people with bad mouths don't deserve to have thighs.

They arrived at a tent near Qianyan Village. The disaster here was quite serious, and many victims were relocated and stationed here.

After Hua Ya got out of the car, he saw brother Li Fusheng at a glance.

Zhou Wenfang asked doubtfully: "Do you have any acquaintances here?"

Hua Ya said: "He's the eldest brother from the fishing village. Bajin and I stayed overnight and he even gave me big fish to eat."

Seeing her excited look, Zhou Wenfang wanted to tie her to him. She emphasized to Hua Ya: "Gu Tinglan has said that we should act together. Don't let go. I don't want to save my life and go back without my life."

"What are you talking about?" Hua Ya greeted Li Fusheng from afar and shouted, "I'll come to visit you later!"

Li Fusheng's face was red as he sat by the fire. He waved his hand and said, "No hurry, no rush, you go first!"

Hua Ya and Zhou Wenfang stood among a group of family members, listening to the tasks assigned by the soldiers who distributed supplies.

If you didn't come, you wouldn't know that the disaster outside is worse than imagined. The collapse of houses was second. Many casualties with minor or serious injuries were rushed to Haicheng Hospital for treatment because the military hospital could not accommodate them.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely and the death toll so far is zero.

Even so, the family members organized by the family committee are still very busy.

Hua Ya and Zhou Wenfang were arranged to distribute supplies in the tent. Hua Ya was responsible for iodine and cotton balls to disinfect the people with minor scrapes and frostbite. Zhou Wenfang handed out sugar to the people waiting in line. The sugar is used to soak them in water to replenish their physical energy. Only the old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant can receive half a tael.

Hua Ya and Zhou Wenfang worked for a long time. After distributing the things, they helped the aunts in the tent make porridge.

Hot white porridge is the most soothing thing. People who have stayed in makeshift camps for many days can feel a lot less anxious when they see the smoke rising.

Haicheng's truck was parked not far away, containing bricks and cement used to repair houses.

The common people spontaneously lined up to help unload the goods, and one after another was sweating profusely.

After Hua Ya and Zhou Wenfang finished their work, they found the tent where Li Fusheng was staying. The people in the tent said that Li Fusheng went to carry cement, and Hua Ya went to look for the truck again.

Li Fusheng was sweating profusely while carrying the cement. When he saw Hua Ya coming, he waved his hand and carried the cement to the place where it was piled up. Even though he is not young, he still works like this and is a role model for many young people.

The young man next to him said to him: "Uncle, you go and have a rest. There is not much work here. We can finish it in one go."

Li Fusheng glanced at the truck, hammered his waist and said to him, "You guys, be careful."

Seeing that he had finally rested, Hua Ya walked over and gave him the eggs in her pocket.

Li Fusheng said he didn't want it, so he told Hua Ya: "How can I ask for your eggs? The people in your army have helped us people enough. If you don't want a needle and a thread, I don't want your rations. It's not easy for anyone now." , you can keep it for yourself."

Hua Ya disagreed and hit her forehead, causing the egg to break. She peeled the egg, handed it to Li Fusheng and said, "If you don't eat it, I'll throw it away."

"You are such a girl." Li Fusheng couldn't laugh or cry. He took the egg and ate it in two or three mouthfuls: "It's delicious. The eggs you gave me are the most delicious."

Hua Ya was happy and asked after seeing him finish eating: "Where is my sister-in-law? Why haven't I seen her?"

Li Fusheng walked with them to the tent where they lived and said: "She was cooking when the roof collapsed. She accidentally broke her arm and was sent to Haicheng Hospital. The people in the army said that the bones were fine. , I feel relieved."

To be honest, it is better to stay in the hospital than to be cold here. Before sending his wife to the hospital, Li Fusheng wished that she could stay in the hospital for a few more days. It would be better to wait for the house to be repaired and come back.

Hua Ya looked at the soldiers who were knocking and repairing the house in the distance. They had to work non-stop in the cold weather. It's pretty good to repair houses here, but many people have to go elsewhere to get rid of the danger, and the situation is more dangerous.

Of course, the most dangerous thing was the patrol team that had to go out for rescue during the storm. Gu Tinglan went out to carry out rescue work the day after the big storm started. He never told Hua Ya about the difficulties and dangers involved.

Hua Ya shook off the thoughts in her mind and sat and talked with Li Fusheng for a while. Not long after, I heard another truck driving outside.

The guy from the truck is very energetic and has a very energetic spirit.

After he backed the truck into the camp, he jumped out of the driver's seat and said a few words to the person who handed over the truck. Hua Ya and Zhou Wenfang walked over there to see if there was anything they needed help with.

After walking a few steps, I saw Zhao Yu trotting over and shouted: "Brother Jiaqing!"

Wow.

Hua Ya and Zhou Wenfang exchanged small glances and took two more steps towards them in tacit agreement.

Hua Ya glared at Zhou Wenfang.

Zhou Wenfang asked inexplicably: "Why are you staring at me?"

Hua Ya said: "Look at you, you look like you're not up to expectations."

Hua Ya is sure that as long as Zhou Wenfang is willing to call Lao Xie: "Thank you brother." Lao Xie can give her his life.

Zhou Wenfang: "You strive for success, you sit on my lap!"

Hua Ya bared her teeth and rushed up to pinch her, but unfortunately the cotton clothes were too thick, which severely reduced her activity. When she pounced clumsily, Zhou Wenfang dodged early.

The Qianyan Village where they were located was not far from the seaside. As they were playing around, they heard lively greetings coming from the distance.

The two of them ran hand in hand to the hill next to them. Looking around, they saw many sleds appearing on the frozen sea not far away.

The ice that had been frozen for more than a month was so solid that the people who came to help from Sardinia town were riding in carts pulled by dogs, while others were actually pulled by donkeys!

They all dragged hundreds of kilograms of supplies over, but the ice remained completely motionless.

Zhou Wenfang looked at the donkey pulling the ice cart across the row, white air puffing out of his nose, looking unhappy, holding his stomach and laughing.

Hua Ya didn't know why: "Why are you laughing? Isn't this touching? What's so funny?"

Knowing that it was a donation voluntarily organized by the people of Sardinia and that it did not pass through the useless town leaders, Hua Ya felt truly moved. Over the years, 031 and the people of Sardin have really done nothing in vain!

Zhou Wenfang smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, pointed at the little donkey running at the front, howling with the cold, and said, "Yes, I saw an acquaintance."
