Chapter 107 Someone is coming
Xu Ruichen nodded. "There is indeed news about this. If you want to continue your studies, there are ways around it. I'll let you know if there's any news."
Su Wan remembered that she only had a high school education, and nodded in thanks.
It was just the beginning in 1984, and it was already 1986 when the policy came out. She should not be short of this little money by then. She also planned to buy a courtyard house in Beijing this year. It depends on where she plans to buy it.
After giving the two of them the hot pancakes and buns, Su Wan ate the buns and said, "I wonder how long this drive will take?"
"There's no rush. There are two tanks of gas in the trunk, enough to last us for several days."
In such weather, the air conditioner in the car is always on.
Su Wan felt a little emotional when she heard his tone.
She remembered that the heavy snow in 2008 caused traffic jams on the highway for more than a month, and even a bucket of instant noodles was priced at a hundred yuan.
After taking a look at the food behind, Su Wan felt a little relieved.
Needless to say, these things are enough for them to eat for a month.
Because they were stuck in traffic and didn't do much exercise, the three of them didn't eat too much, so there was quite a lot of food in the car.
The blizzard continued to block the road, and after waiting for three days, the people in front finally couldn't hold on any longer. They all ran out of food and wanted to go to the nearby villagers to see if there were any villagers who could get them some food.
Su Wan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Fortunately, there were no babies along the way, otherwise it would have been more difficult.
The car couldn't move forward or backward on the road, so they waited on the highway.
They are not worried about food, but they cannot say how long their current gasoline will last, so they only turn on the air conditioner at night.
By the seventh day, the people in the other cars had nothing to eat. Fortunately, there was a truck loaded with vegetables. The group had no choice but to chop down the surrounding trees to make a fire to keep warm, and then cook the vegetables in a pot.
Xu Ruichen also went to the man's car and bought twenty kilograms of cabbage and carrots. They could eat them raw and it wouldn't affect anything.
Su Wan cooked vegetable soup in a pot every day, but even so, after being trapped here for such a long time, all the buns and pancakes were eaten up by the tenth day.
Helplessly, Su Wan could only start cooking cabbage noodles.
But with three people, there wasn't much to eat for three meals a day, and they began to feel short of money.
The blizzard continued to fall, and Su Wan felt very worried looking at the weather.
She was really afraid that they wouldn't be able to go back.
The driver looked at the weather and couldn't help but worry, "Why do I feel like this weather is dangerous?"
"There's been a lot of charcoal burning these days, and we're afraid we won't be able to hold out for much longer. If we can't leave within three days, we'll probably have to go to the mountains to chop wood."
Su Wan was also very depressed. How come there was no one to check if they were safe at this time?
But even if she complained, there was nothing she could do, because things had already happened, and the most important thing for them now was to wait for rescue.
"There should be news."
Xu Ruichen sighed lightly. It had been more than ten days. There was no way there was no news from the other side. They must have been delayed by something.
A few days passed and no rescuers arrived.
There were still vegetables on the truck, and Su Wan took out rice like magic, which made the driver stare in amazement.
January 19, 1984.
After waiting on the highway for more than ten days, they finally saw rescue workers arriving.
Unfortunately, the soldiers came here not to let them leave first, but to deliver supplies to them.
Two large military tents were set up nearby for them to rest in, one tent for the men and one tent for the women and children.
When Su Wan went over, the soldiers were cooking noodles.
There was a big pot of vegetable noodles, and everyone could eat as much as they wanted. Su Wan also got a big bowl of noodles.
This was the best thing she had eaten in a while.
They had food and drink a few days ago, but they didn't look at the food carefully, and the food tasted bland.
It was also the first time for her to eat noodles with soy sauce, salt and a little bit of lard, and she almost cried because she found them so delicious.
While eating noodles, Xu Ruichen also learned the news outside from the soldiers.
It turned out that it was not because they did not want to come to the rescue, but that the blizzard in 1984 came earlier than in the previous lifetime. Even in areas like Guangdong Province, many places had snow, and the places without snow were several degrees below zero. It was the coldest time in recent decades.
Su Wan knew that her appearance might have caused some butterfly effect. She took a deep breath and didn't think too much about it.
She really didn't expect that the situation in the south would become so serious due to the low temperature.
Back in the tent, she covered herself with a thick blanket and fell asleep.
When she woke up, the blizzard outside was even worse.
Their three meals a day were provided by the soldiers. With food and drink, they did not worry about being hungry, but they could not go home, and everyone was very worried.
On January 22, Xu Ruichen suddenly told her that they could leave.
It's not that they can drive away, but that they have other ways to leave.
They were riding in a military vehicle, and even the driver was still waiting there. Su Wan left all the food and drinks to the driver and only took his own things with him.
When she arrived in Guangzhou, the strong wind made her face hurt.
She took a bus back to the county town. At the door of Grandma Zhao's house, the familiar figure saw her and his voice choked several times.
"Wanwan, you're finally back?"
Grandma Zhao stood up tremblingly and held Su Wan's hand, saying worriedly, "It's snowing so hard, I thought you wouldn't be able to come back!"
"Grandma Zhao, I'm fine."
Su Wan spoke, her eyes showing some emotion, "Why are you sitting at the door? I'm safe these days, don't worry."
Grandma Zhao patted her hands and said, "You're freezing, hurry inside. Someone in Beijing called and said you were stuck in traffic. Please don't worry."
Su Wan could guess who called, so she didn't think much about it.
After helping Grandma Zhao into the house, he asked, "Grandma Zhao, I'm afraid it's going to be very cold this winter. Have you bought anything to last through the winter? I'll go out and buy some more charcoal. It's so cold now, and burning charcoal will keep us warm."
"Need not."
Grandma Zhao pointed to a mountain of firewood in the corner. "Jianguo bought several thousand pounds of firewood early this morning. He also bought charcoal and briquettes and kept them in the house. I told him he bought too much. It seems he started preparing very early, and he's been preparing food for months. He was just worried that it would be too cold to buy."
Hearing this, Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
My second brother is smart and he listened to everything she said.
