Chapter 28 Gu Jianguo injured and hospitalized
"The snow is falling so heavily this year. I don't know when it will stop."
"It's been raining for several days, it's about time to stop!"
"It's hard to say. The snow this year looks quite strange. Maybe it will continue to snow for a few more days..."
…
The soldiers struggled forward in the snow, one step deep and one step shallow, and couldn't help muttering to themselves.
Gu Jianguo looked at the heavy snow and thought of Qibao's prophecy, his face solemn.
It has only been a few days and houses have collapsed. In another ten days or so, the impact of the snow disaster across the country will be even greater.
Fortunately, the leaders have already conveyed the instructions on snow disaster prevention and control in advance, hoping that it will attract attention from all over the country.
After about an hour, the cotton on the door panel had become fluffy and soft.
Su Mingmei and a few others were busy weaving cotton threads into a net and fixing it on the cotton to form the shape of a quilt.
The whole process is quite complicated and requires great patience and carefulness.
Su Mingmei and Dong Yulan were very patient and even the edges of the quilt were made smooth and beautiful.
Su Mingmei found an old cloth and placed it on top of the cotton wool. Su Qingshan placed the cleaned table top on the old cloth and placed a large stone in the bottom of the table.
Then comes the tedious step of leveling and compacting.
…
After a whole afternoon, the quilt was almost compressed, and Su Mingmei and Dong Yulan finally put the quilt cover on it.
The quilt was made of the dark blue fine cotton cloth that Su Mingyuan brought, and the quilt cover was made of a dark yellow homespun cloth.
The homespun cloth is slightly rough and has better wear resistance.
When the two colors are matched together, Gu Qiqi just wants to say one thing: it’s so ugly!
But in this era, it's good to have cloth.
It took a whole day to make a quilt. The whole process was tedious and hard, and the efficiency was extremely low. But when Su Mingmei and the others saw the quilt they had made with their own hands, the sense of accomplishment and warmth they felt was indescribable.
"This quilt looks warm. I think there's still a lot of cotton left. I can make at least two more quilts!"
Su Qingshan touched the quilt in his hand, his face full of excitement.
The three sacks of cotton are all packed very tightly. There should be no problem making three quilts and a set of cotton clothes for each child.
"Then keep going. If there isn't enough cloth, let Mingyuan think of a solution!" Dong Yulan said.
The weather was so cold that she and the old man huddled together last night.
"Forget about today. We'll have to do it tomorrow!" Su Mingmei interrupted.
It's getting dark soon, the light is poor at night and it's quite cold, so there's no need to rush.
Made gnocchi with sweet potatoes for dinner!
When Su Mingmei carried Gu Qiqi to get the sweet potatoes, Gu Qiqi quietly threw the sweet potatoes into the space along with the potatoes.
There is already a lot of cotton piled up in the space, so she doesn’t plan to plant any more and is ready to try something else.
She used her mind to bury the sweet potato in the soil to grow seedlings. The potato was divided into four small pieces and also buried in the soil. After doing all this, Gu Qiqi didn't care about it anymore.
The heavy snow continued to fall for three days.
With the help of Su Qingshan and Dong Yulan, three quilts were made.
Su Mingmei looked at the dark sky outside and felt indescribably depressed.
Her husband has been away on a mission for three days, and she has been feeling very nervous, especially today. Her left eyelid has been twitching non-stop, and she always feels that something bad is going to happen.
"You said nothing would happen to Jianguo, right? Why do I feel so uneasy?" Su Mingmei couldn't help but mutter to Dong Yulan who was standing beside her.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what can happen? Don't just sit there worrying about it. My son-in-law is in good physical condition. He is just on a mission. Maybe he will be back tomorrow. Don't scare yourself!" Dong Yulan pouted several times.
"I think you are just free. If you are really free, I will help you make the cotton shoes for Jinze and the others in the evening!"
Gu Qiqi raised her head and looked outside the door.
The snow in the yard was piling up again.
She only knew the plot direction of the book at the beginning. Now their family has already deviated from the original plot, so she doesn't know what will happen next.
But snowstorm rescue is inherently risky.
She just hopes her father is safe and sound without any accidents.
It's probably true what you fear is bound to happen.
The next morning, Xiao Tuan knocked on the Gu family's gate.
When the door opened, I saw him standing there with a heavy face.
Su Mingmei suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, something happened to Jianguo and he was sent to the military hospital. I was about to go to the hospital to visit him. Do you want to..." Xiao Yi frowned and said with a heavy heart.
He had just received the news, and after thinking it over, he felt it was necessary to tell Su Mingmei.
boom!
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, Su Mingmei was struck by lightning. She stood there in a daze, her pupils unfocused, staring blankly ahead, as if her soul had been taken away, her face terribly pale...
Dong Yulan, who came out of the kitchen, was so shocked by these words that she dropped the enamel basin in her hand, and the face-washing water in the basin spilled all over the floor...
She opened her mouth, but something seemed to be blocking her throat and she couldn't make a sound.
"Mingmei, now is not the time to be sad. I will go to the hospital with you. Put some money in your pocket and let's go now..." Su Qingshan suppressed his inner panic and worry and said to his daughter.
"Uncle Su is right. Let's just pack up and set off now!" Xiao Tuan nodded.
At the critical moment, Uncle Su was more rational and calm.
Su Mingmei suppressed her inner sadness, ran into the room quickly and started packing.
Gu Qiqi in the cradle was extremely anxious.
【How did Dad get hurt? 】
[Is the injury serious? ]
[I also want to go to the hospital. Mom, take me there. I want to go too...]
Gu Qiqi raised her little head high, trying to attract her mother's attention.
Su Mingmei was busy packing her money and clothes, and ignored her daughter's concerns.
Seeing her mother packed up and prepared to go out, Gu Qiqi became anxious and burst into tears.
Su Mingmei was startled. She looked at her daughter with concern: "What happened to Qibao?"
Qibao stretched out her arms and Su Mingmei held her in her arms.
Gu Qiqi took the opportunity to hook his arms around her neck.
【Go to the hospital, I will go to the hospital too! 】
At this moment, she was very worried. She was afraid that their family would never be able to escape the influence of the plot...
She was now eager to verify it.
Gu Jinze: "Mom, I want to go to the hospital too!"
Gu Jinchen: "Me too, I want to go see my dad!"
Gu Jinan: "I want to see daddy!"
…
Gu Jinze and his two children also came over. When they heard that their father was injured and went to the hospital, they were all very worried.
"Be obedient and wait at home. Mom will bring Dad back soon!" Su Mingmei comforted the boys.
When she was about to hand Gu Qiqi to her mother, she found that the little girl had her arms tightly wrapped around her neck.
"Qibao, be good and ask your mother to go to the hospital!" Dong Yulan tried to forcibly take her away from her children.
Gu Qiqi held on to him with all her might and refused to let go.
Seeing that her grandmother was going to take her away from her mother's arms, Gu Qiqi burst into tears.
