Chapter 53 Preparing for the Snow Disaster

The building we live in has a total of 6 units, our house has 2 units, and Qu's father and Qu's mother's house has 4 units.

Hanhan saw that the fronts of all the units were like ours, and the doors were blocked by thick snow, so he said, "Dad, Mom, let's shovel away the snow in front of all the units." , otherwise the one-unit Doudou and the five-unit Guoguo wouldn’t be able to leave the house.”

We very much agree with Hanhan's approach. No matter how people's hearts change in the last days, we all hope that Hanhan can be a kind person.

Jiang Zhi asked Hanhan again, do you want to clear the snow in front of all the unit doors in this building area? You must know that there are hundreds of unit doors in this building area.Han Han looked at Jiang Zhi and said, "Dad, do you know the uncles and aunts in those buildings?"

"do not know."

"Then why do you help them with the work? The teacher said, you have to do your own things." Hanhan didn't understand his father's thinking.

It turned out that he wanted to help others shovel snow because there were friends he knew in this building.

I patted my chest in relief. Although we want the child to be a good person, we don't want him to be a bad person.

After that, Hanhan led us to clean up the snow in front of all the units in this building.Successfully rescued an old lady who wanted to get out of the unit door but couldn't get out by herself.

During the time we were shoveling snow, a father and son came out of unit 6. The young man was carrying the elderly father on his back.

The boy's father fell ill last night due to the sudden drop in temperature. This morning he had a fever of more than 39 degrees. The boy wanted to send his father to the hospital.

After the heavy snow last night, all four wheels of the car were sunk in the snow. The young man was driving back and forth in the snow, and the wheels were slipping on the snow. No matter how much he increased the accelerator, the car still couldn’t get out. go.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Zhi went over to help with a shovel, dug a few shovels beside the front wheels of the car, and shoveled away some of the snow in front of the wheels. snow pit.

The young man drew a thank you gesture for us in the car, and the car drove away without stopping.

I said compassionately at the side, "Hey, this snow may make many weak people sick. I hope they can survive this winter."

After that, we went to Qu's father and mother's house.

Tell Qu's father and Qu's mother that we can't leave now, we have to wait and see what happens, and also tell Jiang Zhi's guess, let Qu's father and Qu's mother also save some water.Jiang Zhi took out the wooden box and soil from the space again, and planted some small vegetables here.

Dad Qu has more life experience than us. He heard us say that there may be a snowstorm worse than last year, so he said: "If there will be a water and gas cutoff, then the natural gas pipeline will probably not supply gas. We also have to Do some preparation on the food. Let's make some meals and put them in the ring now, no matter what time of day, we can have hot meals."

What Dad Qu said was very correct, we decided to start preparing after we went back.

In the next few days, there were several heavy snowfalls, and the snow removal vehicles on the main roads worked day and night to ensure smooth traffic in the city.But highways and airports were closed and flights were grounded because of the heavy snow.

In order to facilitate the travel of residents, the neighborhood committee of our building organized the young and middle-aged people in the building to voluntarily clean the snow in the building after the snow fell. Jiang Zhi was also called to sweep the snow several times.

Some young people don't have much food in their homes. When the snow outside is almost cleared, they can't wait to kill the supermarket.

It may be because the government has some experience in dealing with these situations after experiencing the snow disaster last year, so it has been snowing for more than two weeks, and the residents can still live normally. If the water is cut off, it means that the prices of things in the supermarket have risen again.

We have been busy preparing for the snow disaster at home these days, cooking and storing water all the time.

Dad Jiang, who kept the water, was in charge. He used more than 30 buckets and filled the balcony.Father Jiang also got the experience of water storage in practice. He took a plastic pipe from the faucet in the bathroom and pulled it directly to the balcony. After filling, the water in the first bucket was basically frozen, and then Dad Jiang collected the frozen ice in the first bucket and filled it with water.This forms a cycle, saving time and effort.

I supervised the work by the side for a while, and saw that Dad Jiang took about 40 minutes to do a cycle, so I asked Dad Jiang: "Dad, is it true that the water in the bucket is not frozen in 40 minutes?"

Dad Jiang sat on the balcony in thick clothes and watched the water and ice cubes, "It's okay, you don't need to freeze everything, as long as you freeze it outside, it won't melt after we put it away. When you use it, it's still good." There can be some fire left." I pondered on the side, and Dad Jiang was right.

Mother Jiang is in charge of cooking, steaming steamed buns, buns and dumplings.Mama Jiang is very good at making pasta. The steamed buns are soft and white, and the pancakes are golden and crispy.She also made a lot of mutton and carrot stuffing, beef stuffing, pork stuffing dumplings, buns.

Jiang Zhi is in charge of cooking, all kinds of meat dishes and vegetarian dishes.Of course, cooking during the day is not enough, and we don’t dare to cook dishes with too much taste, so in the space at night, Jiang Zhi uses the big iron pot in the space to make stews, which is a big pot.If there are only 5 people in our family, we can eat 5 or 6 meals in one pot.

I will be responsible for helping everyone.Occasionally, I would call Dad Jiang as a substitute, look at the faucet for him, and let him enter the house to warm up and drink hot water.Help Jiang Ma run errands, bring buns and dumplings to the balcony for quick freezing.Help Jiang Zhi pick vegetables, wash vegetables and so on.When I have nothing to do, I rush to water the side dishes with Han Han.Hanhan often sued me with Jiang Zhi.Said that I can't always water the seedling, or it will drown.

Later, Jiang Zhi got annoyed, so he assigned me a task, asking me to make dried sausages.That is what the southerners call sausage.

Jiang Zhi, as the leader, encouraged me before I was dry, saying that the time has come to test me, entrusting me with such an important task at such an important moment, this is the trust of the majority of people in me, I must try my best to complete the work with quality and quantity.

I am speechless, am I so untrustworthy?You said that you have already cut the meat and mixed the ingredients. The job left to me is to use a hole to stuff the meat into the casing. Can I do this well, and keep the quality and quantity, cut it .

In the end, I gave full play to my good comrade's ideological awareness, sat down in front of the small bench and stuffed several large pots of diced pork into the casings, and the ropes in the kitchen where they were hung were full of ropes, one by one.

I still feel that filling sausages is a waste of my high-quality labor, so I took out a large electric crock pot (the kind used in restaurants) from the ring, and cooked all kinds of porridge while filling the dried sausages and soup.
