452, Winter Has Arrived 16

When they had free time, Yu Heng and Zhou Qingrong went up the mountain to collect branches together. The previous heavy snow had crushed many large trees and branches. They could throw out many branches with an iron rake, and they returned home with a full load every day. They hung the branches to dry in the yard and on the roof. After drying, they tied them into bundles and erected them on the porch, surrounding them with tarps. Zheng Han watched her children closely and did not let them play with fire for fear of setting her house on fire.

After the village chief reported to the county level, no news was received for a long time. He is also a bachelor, why don't you pay? Not to mention how these people will eat after arriving in the village? Come on! I don’t care anymore! When the time comes, people will catch everything when they come, and he won’t be able to care about it.

The victims who were classified as Xiangya Town this time were actually not all residents of Shao'an City and nearby areas. Strictly speaking, the troops responsible for clearing the way and escorting were stationed in Anshi, a border city of the province, and one in the west of Shao'an City. There is a long way to go from west to east under this weather condition. They traveled all the way eastward, rarely accepting local victims along the way. With snowplows clearing the way and tanks transporting them, they marched toward Xiangya Town arduously and resolutely in the wind and snow.

The Zhou family had good news, Zheng Han was pregnant. She didn't notice it herself. It was Yu Heng who noticed something was wrong and grabbed his hand to feel the pulse, and he felt the pulse. Zhou Qingrong was so happy that he jumped up and down in the living room.

"What are you jumping for? Calm down. Is it easy to have a baby in this world?" Yu Heng thought carefully, wrote a long list and handed it to Zhou Qingrong, "When we collected things before, we didn't prepare pregnant women and babies. We’ll send your wife to the town hospital for a checkup first, and then we’ll have all these things ready.”

Zhou Qingrong was woken up and his mood suddenly became heavy. Yes, even adults are not used to such weather, how uncomfortable it must be for children. "I know, Mom! I'm going to borrow a car from Uncle Jianmin right now!"

Zhou Qingrong immediately took Zheng Han to the town hospital for a check-up. He came back beaming in the afternoon and found that she was indeed pregnant. "Mom, I'm going to buy something right now!" Yu Heng nodded. When Zhou Qingrong and his wife were in the hospital, he received the side mission issued by Jiujiu to protect Zheng Han's pregnancy, so he already knew about the hospital's The diagnosis matched his judgment.

Seeing that her husband was gone, Zheng Han breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yu Heng with some anxiety: "Mom, I thought I wouldn't have another baby in the future, but I didn't expect...this child came at the wrong time..." It happened to be when she gave birth to Zhou Haojun. My father passed away, which caused a difficult childbirth. I almost lost one child and two others. When I was sent to the hospital, my condition was already bad. After trying to make sure that mother and child were safe, the doctor told me that it might be difficult to get pregnant again in the future. In the following years, Zheng Han went to the hospital for check-ups. Her eldest sister-in-law passed away early, and her parents-in-law placed their hope on her belly, thinking only of having two more children so that the Zhou family could flourish. However, when the doctor said it was unlikely, her parents-in-law did not say much and only took good care of their son. Zheng Han was not unappreciative of this.

Now suddenly pregnant again, Zheng Han's reaction was ecstasy, followed by endless worry.

"It's nothing!" Yu Heng held her hand and said categorically, "Qingrong and I have worked hard to prepare so many things for the family, and the family's assets have been filled in. It's already a bit more than others. Odds, look at our home and the things in the warehouse and cellar, it’s more than enough to support one more pregnant woman! When Qingrong buys the milk powder and other baby supplies, everything will be ready!

I told you before that your father-in-law came from an extraordinary place, so he could send me a message to prepare me when he returned to his throne after death, and he also gave me some good things. Don’t you think I suddenly know how to heal? Don't worry! "

Zheng Han felt relieved after receiving such consolation. At the same time, a sense of sourness and emotion surged in her heart. She leaned her head on Yu Heng's hand: "Mom, you are so kind." Yu Heng patted her head and looked up. outside the house. Passing through the eaves on the opposite side, you can see the mountains and the gray-white sky in the distance. He closed his eyes and then opened them again. There was no fear in his heart. The impermanence of the world and nature were hard to shake. But as a human being, isn't it just to move forward amidst constant struggle?

Be fearless.

The news of Zheng Han's pregnancy made Zhou Qingrong tighten his strings. He sweetly shouldered a new responsibility and was happy with it. The family didn't have much money saved, so after buying bits and pieces of baby equipment, milk bottles, milk openers, talcum powder, etc., I couldn't buy much more milk powder. He didn't want to borrow money from his third uncle anymore. His family had been struggling so much that his third uncle couldn't stand it. If he borrowed money from him, he would be scolded again. He exchanged the rice and noodles at home with the store, and first got five boxes of milk powder.

After going back and forth to the town for several days, there was not much inventory in the town, the roads were impassable, and things from outside could not be transported in, so Zhou Qingrong had to give up.

The Zhou family was busy with Zheng Han's pregnancy, and Xiangya Town finally welcomed the first batch of victims. There was a lot of noise when the victims came in. The children dressed up as balls and shouted around to watch. They pointed at the convoy and shouted happily: "That's a tank! Wow, a tank!"

The convoy carrying heavy snow entered the city, bringing with it the cold smell of ice and snow outside Xiangya Town, which shocked the entire Xiangya Town.

Zhou Qingrong went to the village cadre meeting room for another meeting. One person from every house in the village was there. When he came back, he sighed and said: "The village chief said that those people will enter the village tomorrow at the latest, and then they will have no place to live. That’s what they said, so why don’t we make arrangements ourselves first.”

The convoy entering the city was full of heavy trucks and tanks with live ammunition, which looked very scary. The village chief lost his temper at once. He was an old village chief and had seen a lot of things. He knew who had a gun was the boss in the chaos. Who in their village, young and old, could withstand that! Hurry up and make room!

"What is this? It's illegal to seize someone's house!"

Yu Heng couldn't help laughing: "Did you just find out?"

Zhou Qingrong's eyes widened.

"You took a photo of the official document that the village chief received and showed it to me. It was fake. It can't be said to be fake." When the strange phenomenon appeared in Xiangya Town, Kyoto issued an official document, ordering the Xiangya Town Government to maintain order and protect this piece of stability. The official document was still clearly visible on the official website. Until today, no official document about the migration of Xiangya Town has been updated. The official document received by Laokang Village obviously has the wrong format and signature.

Because of the continuous snow, the state organs were almost frozen. It was normal that the government orders could not be issued, and the people below had no scruples about what they wanted to do. Yu Heng also went to see the military vehicle entering Xiangya Town on the day. It seemed to be the size of a regiment, and it was unknown which army it was from.

In the past, the news of the army's mobilization was more difficult to grasp, and it was difficult and dangerous to steal. However, after learning that there were disaster victims coming, Yu Heng immediately spent time to invade the intranet of the two nearest army garrisons. The nearest one is in Anshi City in this province, and the second one is already in the next province. If there are disaster victims coming, these two corps are the most capable and closest to protect the disaster victims.

After the snowstorm, while the state machinery was constantly delivering supplies to the people trapped in their homes, it was also renovating existing buildings to avoid the snow, so as to facilitate the unified delivery of supplies to the disaster victims. Because Xiangya Town has been "blessed by God", it does not have to suffer from the torture of snow accumulation, and the work of snow removal can make people's backs numb. For the outside world, snow accumulation is the biggest obstacle.

However, Yu Heng did not find any military orders for escorting disaster victims into Xiangya Town in those two military districts. If the military orders were not archived, then only paper procedures were followed - this was not in compliance with regulations. After all, Yu Heng also saw the latest task issued by the Anshi Military District on clearing the heavy snow in xx to make a snow shelter in the internal secret network.

Yu Heng was wondering, where did this army come from? Who did it bring?

Zhou Qingrong did not know that his mother had thought so much in an instant, and only asked: "Then what should we do? Our house is a new house with many large rooms. The village chief said that our family should sleep in one room, and the others should be cleaned up for the disaster victims." A few days ago, Zhou Jianan's family finally moved back to their renovated home, and Yu Heng moved to the bedroom on the far right. Now that electricity is connected, there is an electric heater and the family does not have to squeeze on the kang. It is really uncomfortable to clean up now. Why can't I make the decision on my own house?

He also lived in the Li family in Lijia Town during the snowstorm, and knew the principle of mutual help. Otherwise, his family would not accept Uncle Jianan to live here.

It's just that being active and passive makes the mood very different.

Yu Heng felt the same way. He was also worried about one thing. The "disaster victims" who were escorted here by special cases were probably not ordinary people. They were either powerful or rich. When they moved into his house, it was unknown whether the host and the guest would be reversed.

"Let's get sick." Yu Heng whispered to Zhou Qingrong, "Just tell your seventh uncle and ask him if he dares."

Uncle Zhou would definitely dare! He was a person who valued the clan above all else, and the Zhou clan members were the most important. He was actually very angry. Seeing that his superiors had no action and wanted to make money out of nothing and let their village bear the expenses, he was particularly dissatisfied. If it was normal, he would not resist so much. In fact, in the past year and a half, the harvest of the fields in the village was less than 20%! Especially from the hail last summer to now, the rice fields can be said to have no harvest. This year, at most, we harvested a little wheat, which was not enough for a few meals!

How long could the grain we had before last feed our family, relatives and friends? We had to save it?

Alas!

Now someone gave him an idea, and he thought for a moment and agreed. This is a good idea. If the whole village has an infectious disease, how dare outsiders come in? He asked again and again: "There are no sequelae, right?"

"My mother said there is definitely not. I can try it first. Uncle Qi, you can see the effect!" Zhou Qingrong stepped forward, and Uncle Zhou Qi patted him on the back with appreciation: "Good! What a good boy!"

After the test, Uncle Zhou Qi determined that the powder only looked scary: the whole body was covered with red rashes, but it didn't itch at all. If you get it, that's it!

He held a secret meeting with the village chief and other village cadres, and each took a large bag of powder and left. Uncle Zhou Qi thought that the fewer people knew about this, the better, and no one could accidentally let it slip. Therefore, the water pipes into the village were directly cut off. After claiming that the water supply was cut off, they went to each household to register the population and sprinkled the powder in the wells of each household.

In just half a day, most of the people in the village had bumps on their bodies. Although they were not painful or itchy, they looked ugly! Uncle Ai, the barefoot doctor in the village, naturally helped to cover up the situation after hearing Uncle Zhou Qi's words. He frowned and said, "Oh, it seems to be a skin infection!"

Laokang Village was like a boiling hot water pot, boiling up and down!

And the disaster victims from outside came to the entrance of Laokang Village at this time. The child with a red face threw a snowball, ran home and shouted loudly: "There are so many people! Mom! People driving a big truck are coming!"

The military truck drove in slowly, but stopped after 20 meters. The reason was that the road in front was too narrow to enter. In order to facilitate entry and exit, only a passage of about two meters was shoveled out.

Soon a few people came down and started walking towards the nearest house, intending to ask the villagers where the village cadres were. They were shocked to find that everyone had something growing on their faces!

"Wait a minute, I'll call Uncle Qi to come over."

A man walked back to the convoy to report the situation. The two men who stayed behind took a few steps back, looked at the three villagers with red pimples on their faces with some fear, and asked: "Are you sick? Why do all the family members have red pimples?"

The female villagers complained: "Not only that! Almost everyone in the village has it! Isn't it infuriating? It doesn't itch or hurt, but it looks disgusting. The old uncle Ai in the village said that it is contagious. Our village chief doesn't let us go to the town hospital by ourselves, saying that he is afraid of infecting outsiders. He said that he would report to the town hospital and ask the town hospital to send someone to save lives! Where are you from? There are a lot of cars, right? Can you take us there? Our place is too remote. There is no bus now. It's inconvenient to go anywhere. My family doesn't have a car..."

The two men stepped back again, covering their mouths and noses with their hands, listening to the female villagers in front of them chattering, and felt their hearts pounding and fear in their hearts.
