Now, Zhong Xiaojun has completely given up on Liu Rumeng, and even gave the two of them his most sincere blessings.
…
chug……
The jeep had a bit of difficulty driving forward in the snow in the Northeast.
Today, unlike the highways and national roads of later generations, there will be special snowplows and snow-melting agents on snowy days to ensure smooth traffic.
The path leading from Hongxing Commune to Linjiagou was covered with very deep snow after these days of heavy snow.
The jeep drove most of the way and could not go any further.
The wheels got stuck three times in a row. Three people, including the driver, got out of the car and pushed it out with great effort.
Therefore, when they were about two miles away from Linjiagou, Lin Huowang simply got off the car and asked the jeep to go back. It would be faster for the three of them to walk back with their things.
Crunch!
One foot on the snow.
Lin Huowang's feet were already below his knees.
No wonder the road out of the mountain was blocked soon. If it rains harder, I’m afraid it will bury everyone.
It’s only the last two miles, and if there’s no snow, it can be finished in ten minutes if you walk fast.
But now the three of them walked for nearly an hour, until it was completely dark, and then they returned to the village in a very embarrassed manner.
The north wind is howling!
Every household in the village is hiding in their houses. In this kind of weather, who would want to wander around outside?
So, no one saw Lin Huowang and Liu Rumeng carrying large and small bags back to the Lin family's broken courtyard.
As for the deputy captain Lin Shuisheng, he returned home with extreme shock over the past two days.
Faced with many questions from his wife and children, Lin Shuisheng remained tight-lipped and did not reveal to them the "various miracles" performed by Lin Huowang.
Because on the way back, Lin Huowang consciously chatted with him, hinting that he should keep these secrets for him.
Therefore, he just casually mentioned that at the public trial yesterday, Lin Huowang was fine, but Zhao Laosi was shot instead.
…
The Lin family’s courtyard was ruined.
It's late at night.
Mother Lin mixed the last bit of cornmeal with some wild vegetables and made a paste.
Looking at the bottomless darkness outside the house, I was extremely worried.
"Awang! My Awang...what happened to him? And Mengmeng, why hasn't she come back yet?
It was snowing heavily, and how could she, a little girl, be so impulsive and chase him to the commune! The road was so dangerous..."
Ever since Liu Rumeng chased him out yesterday, Lin's mother has been worried.
"Mom! Don't worry.
My brother will be fine.
When I went out to check today, I saw the production team leader coming back.
When he saw me, he deliberately avoided me!
Xiaoxue felt that if my brother really had something wrong, he would definitely show off in front of me. "
Lin Xiaoxue said with certainty while drinking the hot porridge.
"That's right! Auntie, I'm going out today to find out about Brother Awang.
No one said anything happened to Brother Awang, and the production team leader didn't dare to talk to me. He hid far away when he saw me.
I think he must be guilty, Brother Awang will be fine."
Zhao Daniu also added.
The thin Zhao Juhua followed up with, "Brother Awang will be fine."
"Yeah! Come eat quickly!
Hope they are ok.
But this food cannot be forbidden to be eaten.
We have to find a way to dig more wild vegetables tomorrow.
The cornmeal is all gone, what should I do next? "
Although Lin's mother has an optimistic attitude towards life, she feels helpless when she sees the empty bag.
Coupled with his worry about Lin Huowang and Liu Rumeng, his brows furrowed even more.
"Woo woo! No more cornmeal to eat again?
Xiaoxue didn't want to chew tree bark and wild vegetable roots anymore.
If I had known earlier, I would have eaten less these days. It’s all Xiaoxue’s fault for eating too much… wuwu…”
Lin Xiaoxue also took a look at the empty bag in her mother's hand and immediately looked sad.
It's only a few days since we were able to have enough food to eat. How come we suddenly have to go back to chewing tree bark again?
Zhao Daniu and Zhao Juhua also lowered their heads in shame. Zhao Daniu said guiltily:
"Auntie! Xiaoxue! It's all...it's all my and my sister's fault. We got you into trouble.
If it weren't for us, you would have enough food for a few more days."
"Silly boy, we are a family now.
What nonsense are you talking about! A family should share happiness and food together.
The food is gone, let's work together to find a solution, how can we let you go hungry while we eat?"
Lin's mother quickly comforted the children, they were all good kids!
But what can we do? Born in this age of famine, even having a full meal is a luxury. What a miserable life!
"Well! Let's think of a solution together..."
Zhao Daniu was so moved that tears came out of his eyes. At the same time, he secretly vowed that he could not just live like this with his sister and eat and drink for free. He must contribute to this family.
Whoosh…
At this time, the north wind blew again.
The wall was already breathable, and when the wind blew, most of the heat in the room was immediately blown away.
The three children were so cold that they huddled up to Mother Lin, who had no choice but to wrap them tightly with the tattered quilt.
She curled up her body and couldn't help shaking.
"It's so cold! Mom...you're shivering, you should cover yourself with a blanket too!"
"Auntie! This quilt is too small. I...I won't use it! I'll go over to warm myself by the fire. You and my two sisters can use it..."
