Chapter 374 Endless Life(1/2)
Everyone was so worried that their elbows felt numb.
Lu Huaian was not in the mood to eat, so he just grabbed two bowls and didn't eat much of the food.
After returning to the house, Shen Ruyun had already poured water for him: "Hurry up and wash up. What happened? I just saw you looking bad."
Worried that he was freezing, she made mugwort water for him as soon as she came back and asked him to quickly soak it in to warm it up: "It was soaked in boiling water, it should be hot now."
When Lu Huaian put his hand in, it was just right. It was a little hot but bearable.
Take off your clothes and sit inside, it feels so comfortable!
He half-closed his eyes and told Shen Ruyun what happened today.
Shen Ruyun felt angry when she heard that. She really wanted to drag Wu Gaojie out and give him a beating: "This man is so ungrateful! You work for him, and he actually fucks you!"
"We'll talk about this later. I won't take a bath for a long time today. Just watch the time. I'll have to go to bed after three minutes of soaking. I'll go with the car tomorrow morning."
Tonight, he also arranged for people to go to the surrounding villages to inquire whether there were many vegetables, pigs, etc. He would then calculate the total and make plans.
Shen Ruyun said hello and helped him wash and rinse his hair.
Anyway, his hair is short, just wipe it with a towel and it will dry quickly.
She had been busy for a long time, but there was no movement from Lu Huaian. If she listened carefully, she could still hear soft snoring.
He was obviously very tired, but it was warm and comfortable after soaking in the water, so he fell asleep straight away.
Shen Ruyun supported him with one hand to prevent him from sliding down and choking, and poured some water on his neck from time to time with the other hand to prevent him from freezing.
He looked at the time and after about fifteen minutes, he called him up: "It's almost time. You can get up and go to bed."
Lu Huaian stood up in confusion, put on his underwear with half-closed eyes, and fell directly onto the bed.
Shen Ruyun had placed a water bottle on the quilt, which was warm. He wrapped the quilt around him and fell asleep.
Shen Ruyun sighed, tucked the quilt in for him, stood up and took his clothes to be washed.
It's so cold that the water pipes are frozen and the washing machine cannot be used.
I happened to take advantage of the hot water this evening to scrub the mud off, otherwise I might not be able to wash it off later if the mud dries.
It was still dark before Lu Huaian got up again.
Shen Ruyun fell into a drowsy sleep and sat up subconsciously.
"Goodbye." Lu Huaian pushed her down and wrapped her in a quilt: "You have nothing to do, why are you up so early? Go to sleep."
"Oh." Shen Ruyun closed her eyes obediently.
She fell asleep like this, raising her hands subconsciously, just like her daughter.
Lu Huaian wanted to laugh just looking at it, and tucked her into bed.
Dressed neatly, he stepped into the wind and snow with a flashlight.
As expected, the snow didn't stop and fell all night long.
Lu Huaian thought he had gotten up early enough, but the lights in the cafeteria were bright.
The hot noodles had just come out of the pot, and the man wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket couldn't see his face clearly, standing in front of the pot to serve the noodles.
As soon as someone arrived, he handed over a large bowl without looking up.
"Eat something hot to keep warm!"
Lu Huaian thanked him. Hearing this, the man raised his head and glanced at him, and immediately smiled: "Brother Lu!"
"Brother Mao, you got up so early."
Next to him, Cui Er laughed and shook his head: "Why are you up? I haven't slept all night!"
Why didn't you sleep? Lu Huaian frowned: "Why..."
Didn’t you tell them to sleep well and get up early in the morning to deliver food?
"Hey, I'm the only one who didn't sleep!" Shen Maoshi held the noodles and smiled honestly: "I'm pretty good at rolling out the noodles, so I just wanted to make something warm for everyone. It's a tough battle today!"
As for the delivery, he has made arrangements. He has enough manpower, and Xin'an Express has extra.
Lu Huaian said oh, lowered his head and took a big mouthful of noodles.
Indeed, this noodle is quite chewy.
Because of the cold weather, I didn’t have to prepare the warm and cozy food.
The beef stew with radish is served directly. The beef has been simmered all night. It is cooked, fragrant and soft, and it is not difficult to bite.
The key is that there are enough chili peppers in the soup and the noodles are covered with soup. It is a masterpiece. Take one bite and the heat will flow from your mouth to your stomach.
Spicy and refreshing.
"Huh! Feel good!" Lu Huaian drank the noodles and soup completely.
Once the stomach is full, people immediately feel energetic.
Just in time, Dad Shen, who went to collect vegetables from the fields, came out with others: "I didn't pick much in the past few days. Oh my, there is a lot of food today."
"The more, the merrier."
Lu Huai'an had specifically ordered to pick as few as possible and not to pick too small ones, after all, they would be supplied in large quantities later.
Fortunately, the villagers are very skilled and have never harvested all the vegetables.
After passing the scale, counting, and loading directly into the truck.
The first car set off, and the young men who went to collect vegetables from the next village also came back one after another.
“There are all dishes!”
Many of them are still dry goods, which come from the mountains. In the past two years, everyone's conditions have improved. The mountains are no longer so clean that you can lick the ground, but there are many more wild animals.
"Look, pheasants and ducks! Good guy, I want to keep one for myself."
Everyone laughed and said they would send it away first and keep it for themselves later.
The pork from the pig factory has also been picked up, loaded into the truck, and the convoy is about to set off.
Lu Huaian jumped into the car, still worried: "Has the road been cleared?"
"Everything is cleared." Cui Er started the car and said cheerfully: "The village chief arranged for patrols last night. They will change shifts!"
No one cares more about selling vegetables than the village chief.
You know, their village was able to escape poverty by selling vegetables, and now its life is getting better day by day.
No matter who it is, no one can stop their progress!
Not even God can do it!
It rained all night, and they plowed the snow all night!
The car at the front was the first, and now they are the second group, with Cui Er driving at the front.
Along the way, every once in a while, there would be people on the side of the road with flashlights.
It looks like the light of a firefly, but it is endless, illuminating the road in the distance.
Lu Huaian was in a trance, as if he saw a street light.
The lights stretched endlessly, guiding them in the direction of progress.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It has snowed all night, but there is really no snow on the road.
The houses on the roadside are hidden in the wind and snow, but there is a faint light in the houses.
It was the waiting of the family, and someone from every household came out to clear the snow.
It's not just their Xin'an Village, people who have been favored and people who have benefited from the vegetable selling business are doing their part.
Lu Huaian felt warm in his heart. After arriving at the farmer's market, he opened the car door and saw snowflakes blowing in his face in the strong wind.
He jumped down with a light step.
The snow in the city is not as heavy as outside, but the snow is not shallow either.
If there is no food at home, we will start preparing to go out as soon as dawn.
"I don't know if there are vegetables for sale today."
"I don't know, let's try our luck."
There is always a glimmer of hope, what if there is one?
Although they didn't have much hope, people still took their bags and went out one after another.
There is no way, we can't starve to death at home during the Chinese New Year.
They walked forward slowly, not having the energy to say hello to people they met.
too tired.
it's too cold.
Too hungry too.
