After retiring, she went to the countryside and was doted on by rough men

This plant called Haloxylon white can only be found in the deserts of the frontier.

And if this plant is burned as fuel, it is even better than coal.

It is a very fine firewood, arguably one of the best wood fuels in the world.

It has a calorific value of 4302 calories per gram, and the firepower of one ton of Haloxylon firewood is quite close to the calorific value of 0.7 tons of coal, so it is also called "desert living coal".

The most important thing is Suo Suo firewood, which is durable to burn. A piece of Suo Suo firewood can be burned all night in the hearth, and there is no need to get up in the middle of the night to add firewood.

They didn't know it before, they just talked about some nearby reeds and brought them back.

Later, it was Xia Zhi who told them that it was more suitable to cut this kind of Halsuo firewood, especially in winter, this kind of Haloxylon firewood does not take up space, and it is also particularly resistant to fire.

At this moment, everyone came to this piece of Suo Suo Chai with familiarity.

Due to the nearby wetland of reed marshes, the Haloxylon here grows very luxuriantly.

The partner was really not tired after getting up and working. Xia Zhi carried a person's tall firewood with a rope on his shoulders, turned around and walked back to the diwozi.

This bundle of firewood is basically enough for them for half a month.

While chopping firewood, everyone discussed whether they could apply to the team.

It is best to send them to the county to buy something.

The main reason is that the distance is not short, and everyone does not know the way, so it is easy to get lost, but there is nothing in the supply and marketing cooperatives near them, and now the counters are empty and dusty when they walk in.

Seeing that it's going to snow, if you don't prepare something earlier, I'm afraid this winter will be really worrying. They have been out of food for more than ten days.

So there are no vegetables in winter, but now there are no pickles.

While talking, everyone encouraged Xia Zhi to find Zhou Zhengan. After all, everyone knew the relationship between Xia Zhi and Zhou Zhengan.

Xia Zhi didn't refuse the matter, not only did everyone want to go, but she also wanted to go.

Living here for half a month is really a bit difficult, mainly because they are newcomers this year, and they have not prepared anything in advance, so this winter has been extremely difficult.

If you don't do any physical work, you can eat a little less food, but if you don't have any food at all, you can't stand it.

After carrying the firewood, Xia Zhi ran to the brigade to find Zhou Zhengan.

Walking up to him, he greeted the little comrade who was guarding the door.

Everyone knows the summer solstice.

Seeing Xia Zhi appear, the little comrade smiled and pointed to the captain's office.

"Comrade Xiao Xia, our captain is inside, there is nothing to do now, you go quickly."

"Thank you!"

"Hi, thank you for what?"

Xia Zhi greets everyone with a smile and a very warm attitude.

Everyone likes the summer solstice, especially the summer solstice looks good, and the food cooked in summer is very delicious.

Zhou Zhengan is worrying in the office right now, the canteen supplies are running out.

Under normal circumstances, food should be delivered to them once a week, but this time it has been half a month, and no food has been delivered.

The cafeteria tried to reduce the number of dishes as much as possible and made do with it for two weeks, but now the cafeteria has run out of ammunition and food.

In any case, the normal needs of these comrades who receive training every day must be guaranteed.

Zhou Zhengan shook the phone vigorously to contact the vegetable supply station in the county.

"Stationmaster Wang, we haven't delivered food for a week."

"Captain Zhou, it's not that we don't send it to you, the road has been cut off after snowing."

"Two of our cars broke down on the road. They have been broken down for a week, and they can't be repaired at all."

"It's not that we don't give it to you, it's that we really have no other choice, otherwise you can drive a horse-drawn cart or a bullock cart to pull it yourself, and now the only roads that can go on this road are bullock carts and horse-drawn carts.

They don't even have ox carts or horse carts, so I guess they can only be carried by people. It's really not that I don't give them to you.

There is nothing we can do when we encounter this kind of difficulty. Now we don't have enough manpower. "

"Stationmaster Wang, okay, I'll arrange a manpower right now to see if I can get rid of the horse-drawn carts and ox carts and come out to pull the vegetables. If it's really not possible, I'll take people there to carry the vegetables back. This side can't hold on anymore. "

"Captain Zhou, I'm really sorry. You also know that the weather is bad. It's not that we don't want to do a good job of logistics for our comrades."

Stationmaster Wang is very helpless to explain.

His phone has been ringing, and the dishes are piled up here, but they can't be delivered.

Zhou Zhengan put down the phone and was about to call up his staff, but when he turned his head, he saw Xia Zhi.

"Xiao Xia, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

"Captain Zhou, I see it's going to snow. We are educated youths. The educated youths want to apply to the team. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county to sell and buy some things.

We have had no food here for more than half a month. "

Hearing this, Zhou Zhengan showed a bit of hesitation on his face. It turned out that everyone was worried about the same thing.

"You don't need to go, the food on the team is already broken, the snow that fell some time ago on the road.

The roads are impassable, and several trucks in the county have broken down, so they cannot be sent out for repair. "

"I'm about to organize people to pull vegetables here, you just wait here!
At that time, I will drop by and bring some back for you. You can go directly to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them. "

When Xia Zhi heard this, he glanced at the sky, some swimmers, the sky was gloomy, as if clouds were pressing on people's heads.

This low air pressure makes it difficult to breathe.

I can feel that the heavy snow will come down at any time. If I drive back and forth, it will only take three hours, and I will be back soon.

But if you rely on horse-drawn carts, ox carts or manpower, you may not be able to return at night.

According to her experience, this snow will definitely fall at eight or nine o'clock tonight at most.

Zhou Zhengan and the others are taking people there now, and it is estimated that they will either be blocked on the road, or they will not be able to return to the county seat.

"Can't the captain drive the truck? Look at the sky."

Zhou Zhengan looked at the sky, his pretty brows were furrowed.

"The weather doesn't look good, it's estimated at eight or nine in the evening, at most 10 o'clock, the snow will definitely fall.

It's not that I don't want to drive a truck, it's that the road is too slippery now, and driving a truck on the road will cause accidents.

I cannot bet on the safety of my comrades. "

Xia Zhi suddenly remembered.

This year, there are no so-called tire chains, and there are no means of snowplows and salting snow.

After a heavy snowfall, basically the ground will be difficult to move.

And the temperature here stays around minus 30 to 40 degrees in winter. Even today's temperature is not too low, but it is still only minus 25 degrees.

The snow on the road can't be melted at all.

Especially at noon, when the sun shines, some water vapor will melt from the surface of the snow, increasing the slipperiness of the ground.

"Captain, I have an idea, I don't know if it works, or let's try it?"
