In the age of crossing books, the female supporting role of salted fish won

Chapter 87 Telegram
The snow was heavy, knee-deep snow, and it was not easy to clear.

But no matter how difficult it is to clear the snow, it still needs to be cleared. Otherwise, if it keeps falling during the day, the snow in the yard will only get deeper and it will be more difficult to clean.

When Song Juan, Song Laifu, and Li Guilan cleared a passageway from the snow in the yard, and opened the gate, they found that the snow outside was only slightly shallower than that in the yard.

"Now, it's really a snow disaster!"

Song Juan followed Song Laifu and began to clear the snow in front of the house, preparing to clear a passage leading to the firewood stack.

Although there is some firewood in the utility room at home, no one knows when the snow will stop in such a heavy snow day. If it snows for two or three days in a row, it will be a real disaster.

Song Juan and Song Laifu are busy clearing the snow, and Song Jianjun and Qu Xiaofu are also clearing the snow at the moment. They just moved back to the house on this side of the village before the winter vacation, and there is not much food and firewood in the house.

This must first open the way to Lao Song's house.

Song Mingshu was also helping, but he was small and weak.

As for Song Mingwen and Song Mingwu, these little brothers are still sleeping, who let them be children!

……

At this moment, in the entire Banpo Village, people who woke up were clearing the snow in their yards, and those who moved quickly had already started to clear the snow outside the door.

When Song Juan and Song Laifu opened up the passage to their firewood pile, the big horn in the village rang.

The whole village was called on to go out together to clear the snow from all the streets in the village.

But Zhao Meilan, who was punished by the village and lived in the cowshed, almost despaired after discovering the heavy snowfall.

The cowshed in the village is only two miles away from the village.

But she is not short of rations at the moment, what she lacks is firewood.

"I can't die!"

"I have to live!"

Zhao Meilan wanted to clear the snow, but she found that she didn't even have tools.

She threw the shovel for cleaning the cow dung over the cowshed.

She has no tools on hand.

Worst of all, the heavy snow was blowing and the line of sight was blocked.

Even if she wanted to brave the wind and snow and step on the thick snow to return to the village, she couldn't find her way.

Going back to the village from the cowshed, you have to go through a slope, and there is an earthen bridge in the middle. If you accidentally step on it and fall into a snow hole, or simply fall into the ditch under the bridge, you will definitely die soon. up.

"Ah, ah..."

Looking at the white snow outside the door, Zhao Meilan was so sad that she couldn't help crying.

She really doesn't want to die!

She wants to live a good life, she wants to change her life.

But why is it so difficult?
"Song Juan, if I don't survive, a ghost will haunt you!"

Zhao Meilan, who was getting more and more desperate, shrank under the blanket and muttered to herself.

……

Song Juan, who was far away in the village, suddenly sneezed twice.

Hearing the sound of sneezing, Li Guilan became anxious immediately, and told Song Juan to go back to the room to warm up.

In this kind of weather, if you catch the wind and cold, it is impossible to send him to the hospital.

"Mom, I'm fine, it's just that my nose was itchy just now!"

"I'm not cold!"

Song Juan was telling the truth.

She is not cold at all now.

The work of clearing the snow is really a bit laborious.

Li Guilan thought for a while, and said: "Then you go back and make some ginger soup, and we can all drink some later."

This big snow, the weather is already cold. When the snow stops and the snow is about to melt, the weather will only get colder.

"Fine!"

Knowing that this was her mother taking care of her, Song Juan didn't shirk it.

After all, you know your own business.

Song Juan herself is not a person who can make great efforts. It is really a bit laborious to clean up such a heavy snow.

Go back and cook some ginger soup, it's very good for her.

Not long after Song Juan cooked the ginger soup, Song Laifu and Li Guilan also came back.

They have cleared the snow in front of their house and are connected to the neighbor's house next door.

And Song Jianjun and Qu Xiaofu also finished clearing the snow in front of their house, and also connected to the next door.

When Song Laifu and Li Guilan came back, Song Jianjun and Qu Xiaofu also came with Song Mingshu.

I haven't made breakfast yet, let me have a bowl of ginger soup first.

"Drink it quickly, I added some brown sugar!"

Song Juan scooped up ginger soup for everyone. To be exact, it was already ginger brown sugar water.

"With such a heavy snowfall, the second child may not be able to come back to celebrate the New Year!"

When everyone was drinking ginger syrup, Li Guilan suddenly said something faintly.

"I will definitely not come back!"

Song Juan nodded in agreement.

With such a heavy snowfall, the telephone line might be cut off.

As for the road from the county seat to Qiaojia Town?
It is definitely impossible to continue to open to traffic.

As for organizing people to clear the snow on the road?Don't be kidding.

Although there are villages along the road here, the problem is that some sections of the road are far away from the villages.Even if the higher-ups notify the villages to clear the snow, there are some places that can't be done.

Let’s just talk about Banpo Village. The road to the east connects to the commune, and the village to the west is called Shitouzhuang.

Stone Village is more than ten miles away from Banpo Village, and there is a long downhill of more than two miles.

Who will be responsible for clearing such a long distance of snow?
Banpo Village or Stone Village?

On the other side of the commune, it happened to be at a three-way intersection, and there were at least a dozen miles of roads around it that needed to be cleaned up. If this was done by people from one village alone, how long would it take to get it done?

"Ugh……"

Knowing that her second son would not come back, Li Guilan was in a bad mood.

"Mom, what are you sighing for?"

"It's just that the road is blocked by heavy snow. When the snow melts, if you miss your second brother, why don't we go to the county town to have a look?"

Although Song Juan understood her mother's mentality of wanting a family reunion, she couldn't comfort her like this at this time, she had to change her perspective.

Otherwise, if my mother thinks of the big brother in Beijiang, this matter will be troublesome.

However, what Song Juan didn't know was that her elder brother who had been stationed in northern Xinjiang really came back this year to visit relatives.

The telegram was sent, but unfortunately, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and the telegram arrived at the post office of the commune and could not be delivered to Banpo Village.

As for calling?
Unfortunately, the phone line was broken by a tree that fell from the snow.

In short, communication is down.

……

At this moment, on the train from northern Xinjiang to Yanshi, Song Weiguo, his daughter-in-law Ma Xiaoling and his eldest son Song Mingjun are dreaming about the happiness of a family reunion.

However, Song Weiguo didn't know that the tobacco market was experiencing a heavy snowfall that hadn't happened in more than ten years.

At the same time, Song Weimin in the county was also in a bad mood looking at the thick snow in the family courtyard.

Originally, he could have returned to the village earlier, but he wanted to stand up for the last shift, and there was such a heavy snowfall just one day away.

"Dad, can't we go back to celebrate the New Year?"

Song Mingjian's face was wrinkled. He had long been looking forward to returning to his hometown for the New Year.Although my aunt is annoying, my grandparents are very good, and my brothers and sisters are also very good.

But now, he has never seen such a heavy snow.

"Well, it's hard to say!"

Song Weimin reached out and rubbed his eldest son's head vigorously, "There is still a week before the Chinese New Year, maybe we can go back!"

"God bless, hurry up and stop!"

Hearing Song Weimin's words, Song Mingjian put his palms together and began to pray to God.

"Come out of the sun!"

"As long as the sun is out, I promise to be a good boy for a year, study hard and make progress every day!"

Song Mingjian at this moment is very pious.

Seeing this, Song Weimin raised his hand and knocked Song Mingjian on the head, and said, "So, you didn't study hard before? Did you?"

"of course not!"

"I've been studying hard!"

"I, I'm just saying, I'll try harder, yes, harder!"

Song Mingjian, who realized that he had accidentally exposed his secrets, quickly gave an explanation.

I have to say, this kid is still very quick-witted.

Song Weimin was too lazy to be serious with his eldest son, so he gave him a look and said, "Hurry up and do your homework. If you don't finish your homework by the time you can go back to the village, don't even think about playing when you go back!"

"Dad, don't worry!"

"I'm going to wake my brother up!"

Song Mingjian hurried back to the room, calling his younger brother Song Mingshe, who was still sleeping in bed, to get up to eat and do homework.

Kong Laidi walked to Song Mingjian's side now, and whispered: "Today, can you still go to the factory?"

"No way!"

Song Mingjian sighed, "I'm thinking, maybe it won't be long before the higher-ups have to arrange people to clear the snow from the streets."

"At that time, you can watch Ming Jian and the others at home!"

"Row!"

Kong Laidi nodded.

Song Mingjian's guess was right.

By noon, the county leaders had made arrangements for all factories, government units, and everyone to go to the streets to clear the snow.

Not only the streets of the county town had to be cleared of snow, but several commandos were even arranged to clear the roads entering and leaving the county town.

……

Song Juan originally thought that it would be very difficult to clear the snow on the road, but she underestimated the fighting spirit of people in this era.

After discovering that the telephone line was cut off in the village, he spontaneously prevented the young and strong in the village from dispatching.

There is no way to reconnect the telephone line, because this is too technically demanding, and the villagers cannot do it.

However, it is not difficult to clear the snow on the road.

For a young man, clearing the snow for a day is full credit.

Do you want to do it?
Dry!
Originally, you couldn't earn work points in winter, but now that you have the opportunity to earn work points, who wouldn't?
If you don't get it, you will have to pay less points than others when the work points are settled at the end of next year. Is this okay?That must not work!
"Sure enough, I still don't understand this era!"

When Song Juan walked through the village and saw that the people in the village had opened up the road leading to the commune, she was really shocked.

If she hadn't said it with her own eyes, she couldn't imagine what kind of cohesion it was.

After the road from the village to the commune was opened, the people in the village did not stop there, but continued to clear the snow on the road in the direction of Shitouzhuang.

Then, when the people in the village were cleaning up halfway, they joined forces with the people from Shitou Village who were cleaning up this side.

Although the heavy snow is still drifting, it is impossible for the snow to pile up again before dark.

People are arranged in the village, and when they see that the snow has accumulated a certain thickness, they will clean it again.

In the evening, the heavy snow finally gradually became smaller.

However, according to the experience of the elders in the village, the snow will not stop there, and it will continue to be light at night.

Song Juan burned her feet and soon fell asleep.

Today, she also did a lot of work.

If this person is tired, he will naturally sleep soundly.

……

Zhao Meilan thought that she might be forgotten by the villagers in the cowshed, but the fact is that the villagers did forget her, but they did not forget the cows in the cowshed.

This is the most important asset in the village, and no one can forget it.

Considering that the snow was too heavy and the windproof of the house over the cowshed was too poor, Qi Bajin and Wang Dashan temporarily exempted Zhao Meilan from punishment and let her return to the house in the village to live temporarily.

However, Zhao Meilan had a falling out with her four younger sisters, so she had to arrange another house for her.

That night, the snow fell silently.

When dawn came, the villagers got up early and were relieved to see that the snow on the ground was only as thick as the back of their feet.

Most importantly, the sun came out.

This also means that everyone does not have to be too busy today.

Of course, the snow still needs to be cleared.

It's just that today's workload is much less than yesterday's.

Just when the people in Banpo Village were busy clearing the snow, the postman from the commune post office arrived at Banpo Village and brought the telegram sent by Song Weiguo earlier.

When Li Guilan saw the telegram and knew that the eldest son's family of three was on their way back, she really felt awkward and awkward.

The telephone line was cut off and the county could not be reached.

On the road, they have completed the work of clearing the snow, but whether it is the same in other places, no one knows.

"Mom, don't think too much, brother and sister-in-law rarely come back, God will definitely not lose face!"

Song Juan's mood at the moment is really beeping the dog.

She really didn't know how to comfort her mother's hurt heart.

All things come together.

"If you can't talk, don't talk!"

Hearing her daughter's comforting words, Li Guilan gave her an angry look.

Song Juan chuckled when she heard this, and said, "Mom, I won't talk anymore!"

Song Juan, who didn't know what to say, just took the opportunity to shut up.

Li Guilan saw her daughter's appearance, but she didn't know what Song Juan was planning.

However, she is really not in the mood to think about anything else now.

Her only thought now is that the road should be restored as soon as possible.

If the eldest son came back, but was trapped in the city because of impassable roads, the family leave this time would be wasted.

You know, it is impossible for the eldest son to come back from time off.

This time I couldn't go home, and I have to take a vacation again, I don't know how many years it will be.

Song Juan knew that her mother was in a bad mood, so she didn't hang around her, so as not to offend her mother and become a punching bag for nothing.

Throughout the whole day, Li Guilan was a little absent-minded.

She looked towards the road in front of the village from time to time, wanting to see if there was a car running by.

Because, as long as there is a car driving, whether it is from east to west or from west to east, it means that the road is ready for driving.

However, not a single car was there.
