Chapter 50
Transporting materials
Now that the matter had been decided, Fang Xin immediately stood up and prepared to get dressed.
But he was a little worried about the safety of the two elders, so after thinking about it, he took out a pistol.
With a pistol on hand, the safety of the two elders can be guaranteed.
When Fang Xin handed the pistol to Grandpa Li, the two elders' pupils trembled.
He didn't expect Fang Xin to have a gun in his hand. Grandpa Li asked nervously, "Xinxin, where did you get it?"
I bought this pistol from Xiaohe Supermarket. Although it is a bit old, it is still usable and the magazine inside is full.
Fang Xin looked at Grandpa Li and did not answer his question. Instead, he earnestly warned him, "Grandpa, don't be afraid. Keep it for self-defense. You must use it if you encounter danger. Do you understand?"
The two elders had never come into contact with guns before, so it was normal for them to be afraid.
Grandpa Li took a deep breath and nodded, "I understand."
Grandma Li held her pounding heart and felt a little nervous, but she knew Fang Xin did this for their safety.
Fang Xin was still worried, "Grandpa, do you know how to use it?"
"No, I won't."
So Fang Xin taught Grandpa Li how to use it step by step for a while, and only felt relieved after he was sure that Grandpa Li knew how to use it.
Fang Xin reminded him again, "Grandpa, listen to me, you must shoot when necessary to protect your own life, okay?"
Grandpa Li swallowed his saliva and said, "I know, I know."
Fang Xin got dressed and prepared to go out.
Grandma Li stood up immediately and said, "Xinxin, I'll go help you."
"Grandma, you haven't recovered yet. It's too cold outside. Please stay inside."
"Besides, you are still weak and you can't do anything. If you fall ill, who will take care of Grandpa?"
Fang Xin went forward and pushed Grandma Li back to sit on the stool. "Grandma, just stay in the house with Grandpa. When Grandpa recovers, we will move."
Grandma Li sat back on the stool feeling a little embarrassed.
She had to take care of the children everywhere, but she couldn't help at all. She felt touched but also a little uncomfortable.
Grandma Li suppressed her guilty conscience and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Grandpa Li was very quick-witted and immediately noticed the change in Grandma Li's mood.
He held Grandma Li's hand tightly and said, "It's okay. Everything will be fine."
Fang Xin walked out of the second elder's house and pretended to drive a snowmobile in from outside. There was a large wooden board at the back for storing things.
The large wooden board is like an enlarged sled that can slide on the snow and is very useful for carrying things.
Fang Xin drove the car into the yard and parked it next to the cellar in the backyard.
Grandma Li stood quietly in front of the window. She could only see a vague figure in the dim light of the stove in the house.
Fang Xin took out a few more wooden boards and nailed the sled into a large wooden trough, which was surrounded by wooden boards so that the things inside would not fall out.
After nailing the sled, I climbed into the cellar along the ladder.
She carried away the heavier coal first, which was packed in woven bags.
I have used some of them during this period and have about 30 bags left.
Although they didn't store too much, it's okay. The two old people can just chop some firewood for heating later. As long as they are diligent, they will not freeze to death.
Fang Xin put the coal into the space. It was so dark outside, and Fang Xin used the space secretly. People in the house could not see it at all without lighting.
The reason why Grandma Li was prevented from coming out to help was that it was inconvenient to use the space, and her workload would also increase.
Take the things out of the space one by one, place them on the sled, then wrap them with a tarp and tie them tightly with a rope.
The coal lumps are very heavy and not too many can be pulled away at one time. The snow on the ground cannot withstand such a heavy weight and will sink into the snow crust.
The rest that can’t be put in the space is placed in the space.
Install some things on the car for show.
When Fang Xin drove the car to the front yard, he saw Grandma Li still standing in front of the window.
Looking at this scene, Fang Xin suddenly felt a little pitiful for the old lady.
Grandma Li's action did not mean that she did not trust Fang Xin. She wanted to come out and work together. She felt uneasy and guilty because she could not contribute to her own work.
So I stood in front of the window. Even though it was dark outside and I couldn't see anything, I just wanted to stand because I couldn't sit still.
Fang Xin had no choice but to park the car and go into the house.
"Grandma, go to bed. I'm leaving now."
"Okay, drive slowly, be safe, and pay attention to the road."
"Yeah, I know, don't worry."
Fang Xin left only after coaxing Grandma Li into the house and lying down.
Fang Xin did not leave Xiaohe Town. He found a secluded and deserted place and moved his car and people into the space.
She was not going to rush to the villa area at night because she would have to go back at night to get supplies. It would be too troublesome to go back and forth, so she decided to wait until dawn when she could see the road clearly before going to the villa area.
Apart from the last time I sent the Fang family there, I haven't been there since, and I don't know what it looks like there after the heavy snow.
We still have to go and take a look. We have to clean up a room so that the two old people can move in directly with their bags.
Fang Xin yawned.
I'm sleepy.
Hurry up and get some sleep, there is still work to be done.
Set the alarm for 2 a.m. and quickly get into bed.
The dog ran over, wagging its tail and looking at Fang Xin with sparkling eyes.
Fang Xin smiled and reached out to touch the dog's head, "You go to sleep too."
I slept for about 5 hours and woke up at 2 o'clock when the alarm clock rang.
Fang Xin got up lazily, brushed his teeth and washed his face.
Take out a cup of hot soy milk and drink it slowly.
The brain is not yet fully turned on.
The body is awake, but the soul is not.
After drinking the soy milk, put on your clothes.
Unload yesterday's supplies into storage space.
One person and one car left the space.
An icy cold wind blew over my head.
Instant awake.
Great, it's fully powered on.
We got on the snowmobile and soon arrived at my parents' home.
I had already taken the door key yesterday, so I opened the door directly, drove the car in, and then got out and closed the door.
Fang Xin did not enter the house, but went straight into the cellar.
I took a little more this time.
But I didn’t take too much, for fear that the filling would be too obvious.
Climb out of the cellar and drive away.
This time Fang Xin drove out of town in the dark.
I didn't choose to leave the town during the day because there are toll collectors at the entrance of the town and it would be very troublesome if they saw me.
He didn't want to get into too much trouble and tried to avoid it as much as possible, which was just a matter of staying up late at night.
There was a small hill 10 kilometers away from Xiaohe Town. She drove the car to the hill and hid in the space, and then set off again at dawn.
I took another nap in the space, and set out again at around eight in the morning.
The world outside was all white, which made his eyes feel a little uncomfortable. Fang Xin felt better after putting on goggles.
It was all white and Fang Xin couldn't recognize the road clearly.
The original road was covered with a thick layer of snow, and it took a long detour to find it.
Two hours had passed by the time we arrived at the villa area.
Many of the roofs of the villas here have collapsed under the weight of thick snow and are in ruins.
There are only about 13 villas here, some big and some small. The big ones are over a thousand square meters, while the small ones are only a few hundred square meters. Some of them have not yet had time to install doors and windows.
Fang Xin walked inside.
In the middle.
I found a two-story villa that was not too big. The roof was intact and had not collapsed. It covered an area of about 200 square meters.
Fang Xin quickly removed the door lock of the villa and walked in.
There is a large living room at the entrance, which is very spacious.
There is an open kitchen and only two rooms on the first floor.
I feel like this place is pretty good. I just need to clean up one of the rooms on the first floor and ignore the second floor.
