Chapter 202: Extreme Cold Doomsday: Satisfaction and Greed
"I don't know if you feel cold when you sleep at night."
Jiang Jiang looked at the nest of Fox Dad and Fox Mom. She originally thought that two stoves should be warm enough, but when the temperature dropped last night, she felt very cold even with the kang burning and the stove warming her, not to mention Fox Dad and Fox Mom who only had two stoves for heating.
Never mind, they can’t talk.
Seeing Jiang Jiang coming to the main room to find them, the two foxes thought that Jiang Jiang came to play with them, and they jumped around happily. Jiang Jiang looked at the mother fox worriedly, telling her to be careful of the cubs in her belly.
Jiang Jiang found a thick quilt, covered it with a layer of soft coral fleece, and placed a hot water bottle that she had just filled with water underneath.
The fox father jumped onto the quilt and was first captivated by the soft feeling. Then, he felt the heat coming from under the quilt.
"Hey~"
It hurriedly called out to its mother fox, wagging its big tail.
Who would have thought that before the fox mother jumped up, Wangcai got there first.
Rebel!
Wangcai was hit by the fox father's tail and fell on the quilt in a daze.
After feeling the warmth of the quilt, it lay down on it and refused to move.
The fox father was now anxious. He purred a few times beside Wangcai. When he saw that Wangcai ignored him, he jumped directly to Jiang Jiang and kept barking, as if accusing his son of unfilial behavior.
You should take care of it!
This sentence automatically appeared in Jiang Jiang's mind.
"Come on, Wangcai, come with me into the house and put a blanket and a hot water bottle in your nest."
Jiang Jiang waved his hand, and Wangcai immediately got up from the blanket like a little smart guy.
The mother fox then nimbly jumped into the den and found the warmest place to lie down. The father fox stood by with his ears erected high, and would turn his head to look around at the slightest movement.
And blame the responsible one.
Jiang Jiang picked up Wangcai and returned to the bedroom, leaving the door ajar to make it convenient for Wangcai and his family to come in and out.
......
The cold wind blew, scraping on people's faces like a knife.
Liu Jianguo and his friends wrapped their faces tightly with hats and scarves, leaving only their eyes exposed. They carried backpacks and shoulder poles and walked firmly on the snow.
"Uncle, how long will it take us to get there? My feet are so cold that I can't feel them."
A young man walking at the back of the team said.
He thought his voice was loud enough, but to others it sounded no different from the buzz of a mosquito.
Liu Jianguo, who was walking in front, didn't hear the sound coming from behind at all. It was the people next to the young man who vaguely heard what he shouted.
"Quick! Quick!"
Everyone present was frozen like a fool, but you were the only one who complained.
"Bang~"
They placed backpacks and shoulder poles on the ground in Liu Jian's home.
"Grandpa, you're back!"
Liu Jianguo's little grandson immediately struggled out of his grandmother's arms and ran towards Liu Jianguo in small steps.
"Miaomiao, be good and go to grandma's place to warm yourself by the fire." Liu Jianguo said immediately, fearing that the cold air he brought back from outside would make his grandson uncomfortable.
Liu Jianguo's wife was also very happy to see them bringing back so much charcoal.
"That's a lot of charcoal. It'll last a long time!"
"Thanks to my sister and the others, didn't Qingshan Village set up a factory before? They sold us a batch of charcoal at cost price, saying that we can buy more after burning it, and there will be no price increase."
As for why the sister's family didn't send them some charcoal, Liu Jianguo and the others were not so shameless. They might be poor but they should not be poor in ambition.
Besides, there are so many people in Qingshui Village. Even if the sister gave them some charcoal, it would be far from enough.
Not to mention that this factory is not run by his sister and brother-in-law, even if it is, he is too embarrassed to speak up.
In fact, Liu Jianguo was still a little embarrassed. They were able to buy several hundred kilograms of charcoal at cost price this time. Zhang Qiang and the others must have relied on favors. But he really couldn't refuse. He could only secretly plan to send more things to his brother-in-law's house in the future.
"Dazhu, Erzhu, each of you carry a load back. Xiaoqiang, you also carry a basket."
As the person in charge of this matter, Liu Jianguo arranged the ownership of this batch of charcoal.
The situation in Qingshui Village is much worse than that in Qingshan Village.
The heavy snow and hail in the past two days have crushed many villagers' houses, and the villagers who have nowhere to live have been arranged to live in other people's homes.
It can be said that every household in Qingshan Village is home to more than one family.
Liu Jianguo's house is not big, and there is also a family living in it.
Liu Jianguo and his wife live in one room with their eldest grandson, their son and daughter-in-law live in another room with their youngest grandson, and the remaining room is left for the new family to move in.
During the day, everyone in the family would stay in the main room and warm themselves by the fire. At night, each room would burn some charcoal for warmth.
To be honest, he was considering whether everyone should sleep in the same room at night, which would be warmer and save some charcoal.
"Take the charcoal and go back." Liu Jianguo didn't say much. He let everyone share the charcoal and then went back.
"Grandpa, come and warm yourself by the fire." Miaomiao sat next to the stove and waved to Liu Jianguo.
The latter first took off his wet outer coat and drank some ginger tea before he dared to hug his little grandson.
"Is Miaomiao well behaved at home?"
"Yes! Miaomiao is the best!"
Liu Jianguo laughed out loud at his grandson's babyish words, and he couldn't help but kiss him.
"Grandpa, your beard pricks me."
"Ha ha ha ha."
As his hands and feet gradually warmed up, Liu Jianguo's mood also warmed up.
......
The cold wind blew across the hills, across the fields, and into the steel and concrete of the city.
"A new shelter has been added in Wuling District, Liaocheng. It is located 8 meters east of Liaocheng University of Science and Technology, Air-raid Shelter No. . Please ask nearby residents to voluntarily move to the air-raid shelter. Repeat..."
"Crack~"
A middle-aged male teacher pressed the power button of the radio.
There has been a power outage for several days now, so we have to use the radio batteries sparingly.
Every day he would turn on the radio on time to receive news from the surrounding area. Once he found that there was no new notification, he would immediately turn off the radio.
Yesterday, students and teachers of Liaocheng University of Science and Technology were gradually transferred to the nearest air-raid shelter No. 8. Since the air-raid shelter is located underground, it is naturally much warmer than the ground where the cold wind is raging.
With the addition of some heating measures, although everyone still felt very cold, fortunately no one was frostbitten or froze to death.
The only problem that followed was a shortage of food.
Due to the hasty evacuation, they took away the little remaining food from the school. Seeing that the snowstorm showed no signs of stopping, the food was becoming less and less.
The students have also noticed this. The food they get has changed from a loaf of bread or a packet of instant noodles per person in the past two days to a few biscuits now.
Many people still have complaints.
"With so little food, people will starve to death?!"
Unexpectedly, the usually kind teacher became furious after hearing this.
"You think it's too little? If you think it's too little, then go out and find something to eat. Do you know that this is just a small amount of food, and your teacher went through so much trouble to carry it back from school?"
"The student who is speaking, I remember you. When the school cafeteria provided meals, you complained that the food was not tasty and you finished eating after two bites. Now you still have the nerve to say that there is not enough food?"
After the teacher's words, no student dared to show up.
Anyone with a little common sense would know that if they dared to speak, they would be forced by the teacher to go outside with other teachers to look for food, like a conscripted man.
It's icy and snowy outside. It's so cold.
