Chapter 108: Be Careful and You Will Survive
Gu Xiaoxi turned to look at him, "I wonder how long it will take us to get to Xiling Province?"
"About three or four hours."
Gu Xiaoxi felt that it still took a long time, so he took out a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts from his bag and shared some with everyone.
Gu Dachuan also likes eating sugar-roasted chestnuts, so he casually said, "Sister, let's also fry some sugar-roasted chestnuts during the Chinese New Year! This tastes better than sugar."
"But this is a waste of sugar!" Li Kun couldn't help but express his opinion.
"We eat rice cakes during the Chinese New Year. Fried rice cakes are especially delicious. I haven't eaten them for a long time." Luo Yang was swallowing his saliva as he spoke.
"Forget fried rice cakes. I've only eaten fried dough sticks once in my life. Who has extra oil to fry something now?" A warrior nicknamed Zhuizi couldn't help but speak up.
Gu Xiaoxi was stunned when he heard this. "No way! You've never eaten fried dough sticks before?"
One soldier laughed and said, "That was done by the pile owner himself. Sometimes during festivals in the canteen, they would fry dough sticks. He saved the money and sent it all back home."
Gu Xiaoxi felt a little emotional. In this era, most people still lacked food and clothing, and oil was even more expensive.
Even she only had the oil made from lard last time, and there wasn't much left.
In fact, rapeseed, corn and peanuts can all be used to extract oil. She has peanuts, so she will go back and try it.
Thinking of this, her consciousness immediately turned to the accompanying small space, harvested all the vegetables in it, and planted them all into peanuts.
She harvested the mini paddy field as usual and planted new rice seedlings.
Perhaps because she harvested more often, the quality of the rice seeds improved. She found that the rice in the mini paddy fields grew better and better, and the yield was getting higher and higher.
The only pity is that the area is too small!
After flying for an hour, the helicopter suddenly shook, and Gu Xiaoxi was so scared that his blood pressure rose.
Lu Jiansen put his arm around her shoulders and patted her back soothingly, "Don't be afraid, you just encountered a turbulence."
"Yeah." Gu Xiaoxi calmed himself down and looked towards the helicopter cockpit.
After watching the helicopter pilot's operation for a while, she suddenly felt quite envious.
There was nothing to do just sitting there, so she stopped looking outside and focused on the various operating buttons on the helicopter.
When the helicopter flew into Xiling Province, snowflakes were floating in the sky.
Gu Xiaoxi looked around and suddenly frowned.
Observation shows that there will be a blizzard soon!
Seeing this, she pointed to the fast-moving clouds in the northwest and said to Lu Jiansen, "Look, it looks like a snowstorm is about to come. Should we find a place to stop the helicopter?"
Lu Jiansen immediately looked in the direction the little girl pointed.
After a moment, he said to the helicopter pilot: "Find a place to park immediately."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the helicopter became tense.
"Is it really going to be a snowstorm?" Li Kun asked.
He couldn't see it, and now there were only small snowflakes floating.
Lu Jiansen wasn't sure actually, but he could sense a cold air rushing in from the northwest, which he could roughly tell from the swaying of the helicopter in the air.
"The climate in Xiling is changeable, so be careful and you will be safe."
He didn't want to joke with the little girl's safety!
Five minutes later, the helicopter stopped in a snow-covered field.
Less than five minutes after we stopped, the blizzard came.
The strong wind and the blizzard swept the land wantonly.
Everyone on the helicopter was patting their chests and secretly celebrating!
Gu Xiaoxi was also a little happy at this moment because she found that she suddenly gained 1 merit point.
Lu Jiansen took out a blanket from the bag at his feet and wrapped the little girl beside him tightly.
"If you are tired, just lean on me and take a nap."
The helicopter will definitely not be able to leave in a short time.
"Oh, then I really fell asleep!" Gu Xiaoxi felt that the scene of snowflakes flying outside the window was a little dizzy and his eyes were tired.
She had just checked and found that the snowstorm would last at least three hours.
So, she leaned in Lu Jiansen's arms and rested with peace of mind.
In order to sleep more comfortably, she also used the heat-gathering technique.
There was no need to be so particular when one was out, and other people did not think there was anything wrong with Gu Xiaoxi's behavior, so they all closed their eyes and rested.
Gu Xiaoxi really fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
The snowstorm had stopped by then, but there was a problem with the helicopter, and the helicopter pilot was repairing it.
Seeing that she was the only one in the helicopter and everyone else had gotten off, she prepared to get off as well.
When Lu Jiansen saw the little girl wake up, he quickly reached out and hugged her when she came down.
The moment his feet stepped on the snow, a cold wind blew towards him. Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help but shiver, "It's so cold!"
Lu Jiansen put the hat on her and said, "There's no place to hide from the wind here. We'll get back to the helicopter in a minute."
"Yeah." Gu Xiaoxi moved his hands and feet.
The surroundings were empty and white, and there was really nothing to see, so she went back to the helicopter and watched the pilot repair the helicopter.
After watching for a while, she couldn't help but step forward to help.
She felt that she could also do it.
The helicopter pilot was initially afraid that she might cause trouble, but soon he was stunned.
Why does he feel that Deputy Colonel Lu’s wife is better at repairing clothes than him?
"Sister-in-law, have you repaired helicopters before?" the driver couldn't help but ask.
Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled, "No. I've only repaired tractors, cars, and the like before. But isn't repair a byproduct?"
The driver laughed a little confusedly. Helicopters and tractors are really different!
But my sister-in-law can also repair tractors and cars, which is really amazing!
Luo Yang, Li Kun and others looked curious and came over to see the excitement.
The helicopter was repaired and everyone got back on it.
After Gu Xiaoxi sat down, he felt very happy.
She helped to repair a helicopter and actually gained 5 merit points.
"Sister, do you have anything else to eat?" Gu Dachuan suddenly asked, holding his stomach.
He had just eaten a steamed bun and drank a glass of water in the morning and was now extremely hungry.
Gu Xiaoxi then remembered that it was time for lunch.
She took out a bag of sweet potato cakes from her bag and gave it to him, "Let's eat together!"
Gu Dachuan took it, picked up a sweet potato cake, and gave the rest to others.
Li Kun took the second sweet potato cake. When he felt the warmth, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"It's great that it didn't freeze into a lump of ice!"
"My bag is super thick and super warm." Gu Xiaoxi raised his eyebrows, looking proud.
Lu Jiansen gently rubbed her head and said, "You can eat it yourself too."
Gu Xiaoxi took out three small paper bags containing mille-feuille cookies, handed one to Lu Jiansen, and gave another to the helicopter pilot.
Everyone filled their stomachs and continued to rush to the disaster relief area.
