Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 80 The base did not send water
The soldiers of the army have been shoveling snow all day, and they have advanced to the village. The people in the village also took out their tools and followed the work. A week later, the road to the outside was finally opened, and the mighty material delivery team Drive into the village.

Most of the houses in the village are not too warm, especially this winter is extremely cold. Several houses in the village have already froze to death. If it is so cold, few people can survive the winter. The village chief had no choice but to find Qin Zhiyuan , I hope he can think of a way.

Qin Zhiyuan has no good solution, he can only gather those people whose houses are not warm enough to take them to the base, and provide them with central heating. Qiao's house has improved the quality of their base construction to a higher level in the future, so although the villagers are provided with ordinary dormitories, they are still warm enough.

A few days later, another military vehicle came from the village and drove straight into the base without stopping. Qiao Miwei only found out about this later. He heard that it was Qin Zhiyuan's brother and a friend who came.

The weather outside is getting colder and colder, and the temperature has dropped to minus [-] degrees. I heard that many wells drilled a while ago have frozen. In order to drink water, people had to dig open the ice to get water.

Fortunately, the wells dug this time are deep and wide wells, which are also convenient for people to dig ice. It was easy to dig the ice surface at the beginning. After all, the water surface is not frozen enough. The hole, as the weather gets colder and the ice layer gradually thickens, it becomes more and more difficult to break through the ice surface. People have come up with various methods, such as burning the ice in a cage, and some people I climbed down the well wall and violently broke through the ice with a pick to get water, but until two days ago, the problem came again, because the temperature was too low, even if the ice surface just broken exposed the well water inside, it would freeze immediately Fortunately, the newly formed ice is not too thick, and it is easy to get water with quick hands and feet.

Later, people in the village spontaneously formed a team, and every day, two boys took turns to go to the well to break the ice, and others took turns to fetch water. The water for Qiao Miwei’s house was always sent from the army. It was pumped directly, and then the water pipe was frozen and cracked, so Qin Zhiyuan sent a soldier to deliver water to her house every day.

Because the heavy snow was so heavy that half a person’s depth of snow could fall in one night. Many times, the door of Qiao’s house could not be opened at all. The soldiers who delivered the water asked them to run down a rope on the wall and deliver the kettle from the top of the wall every day. past.

This morning Qiao Miwei got dressed and went to the door to wait for the soldier who delivered the water, but the soldier did not show up when it was time to deliver the water every day. Qiao Miwei was puzzled, so he climbed up the wall and lay down on the wall to look at the base for a long time Nothing unusual was found.

Sun Ying came out with the wash water, saw Qiao Miwei still standing on the wall, and asked suspiciously, "Did the water delivery man come?"

Qiao Miwei turned her head and spread her palms, "I didn't see it."

Sun Ying poured the washing water out of the yard along the ditch in the corner, walked to the gate and pushed hard on the iron door, his hand was almost stuck by the iron sheet, "It seems that I didn't miss it last night." He couldn't look out from the door , he pulled Qiao Miwei down, and went up to the wall to look out, "Really, I remember that this little soldier was very punctual, and the wind and snow didn't miss it every day. What happened today?"

Qiao Miwei didn't know, and pulled down Sun Ying's trouser legs, "Brother, come down, I'll wait here for a while."

Sun Ying lowered his head and said, "I'll wait, you go in."

"Pull it down. You didn't wear a hat. You'll freeze in a while, and your nose will fall off from the cold. Look how thick I'm wearing. Let's make room." Qiao Mi pointed at his hat and scarf and said , hats and scarves are a set, all made by Joe's mother two days ago, those bought in the mall before are no longer useful, and the wind blows and it is bone-chillingly cold. Quilts and old cotton clothes, by the way, I made a set of hats and gloves for the whole family with cotton, but there is no good-looking cloth for the surface, so it looks very ugly, but it is warm one by one, Qiao Miwei was not willing to wear it at first , I think it's too ugly. Mother Qiao forced her to put on this ugly hat because her hands and feet were stiff from the cold once when she was working outside. She couldn't take it off anymore. Now she must wear this set of equipment whenever she goes out.

Sun Ying looked at Qiao Miwei's body, then looked at himself, sniffed and made way out of his seat, "Then you can come back later, if you don't come later, I'm afraid it's because something happened and we can't come." Don't wait around."

Qiao Mi nodded slightly, "I know, they worked so hard to bring us water every day, why don't we wait, I'll just wait a while, and if they don't come, I'll come in, anyway, they'll definitely have to say hello when they arrive."

"That's fine, I'll go into the room first." Sun Ying nodded and entered the room after hearing what she said was reasonable.

In the room, Father Qiao was coaxing Xiao Tianyou to get dressed. Ever since Xiao Tianyou knocked the back of his head and became dazed, his temper has come out. Although he doesn't speak, but when he is unhappy, he won't do whatever you want. Happy, although still silent, but he will stare at you with those innocent eyes, making you lose your temper all the time, and your heart softens into a ball, until finally you have to compromise.

Maybe it's because of congenital weakness. Xiao Tianyou loved to sleep late when he was a child, and he hasn't changed it until now. He just doesn't like to get up every morning, and he can't be coaxed. If he is pulled up by strong means, he won't make a fuss, just shed tears silently After a while, his little face was crying, and his little nose was twitching. Who would dare to force him in this situation?But if you don't wake up, you can't eat breakfast. Xiao Tianyou's body is weak, and skipping breakfast will do too much harm to his body. There is no way, even if he can't bear it, the whole family has to get him up every morning like a war.

In the beginning, this job was naturally Yu Yawen's, but within a few days she couldn't stand it anymore, maybe it was because of empathy, now she simply treats Xiao Tianyou as her own eyeball, and she doesn't want him to suffer even the slightest bit of grievance, the child doesn't love him At first, she understood in her heart that she couldn't do the job of waking up Xiao Tianyou just because she knew it. Mother Qiao took the initiative to take over the job after seeing it. In the first two days, Mother Qiao was very depressed by the little guy, and she couldn't bear the child's sadness. , so he gave the task to Joe's father on the pretext that it was time to make breakfast.

Now Yu Yawen and Qiao's mother are both liberated, one cooks breakfast and the other tidies up the house, and assigns work to himself early, okay, now Qiao's father can't push it away, but he can't deal with the little guy alone, Just in time, he called Sun Ying. Aren’t you his father? It doesn’t make sense for me to do all this work alone. Two men waited for the little guy to get up, and slowly found a way. Little Tianyou If you love it, then don’t get up, if you want to sleep, continue to sleep, we will dress and wash your face, and when breakfast is ready, we will specially bring delicious food to the little guy’s nose and shake it under the little guy’s nose, and the little guy will wake up by himself after a while, Blinking his eyes to look for food, when he is fed, he can go to sleep the rest of the time if he likes to sleep.

Father Qiao fastened the last button on Xiao Tianyou's skirt, looked back at Sun Ying lying on the glass and looked out, and couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at? The thatch outside has fallen off again?"

"No, I'll take a look at Weiwei." Sun Ying didn't turn his head, but pulled the old quilt that was blocking the window to the side to make the field of view a little wider.

Father Qiao quickly grabbed the child's quilt and hugged Xiao Tianyou, "Put down the curtain quickly, let in the wind, and don't freeze the child."

Sun Ying let go of his hand and looked back at the child, "Oh, are you ready?"

Father Qiao threw the quilt away, hugged the little guy and handed it to Sun Ying, "I'll go out and see, is Wei Wei still outside?"

Sun Ying took the child, lowered his head and gently shook his arms, "Yeah, I don't know what happened, I haven't come to deliver water today."

"Oh, I guess there's something wrong, I'll go take a look." Father Qiao opened the door and went out after saying a few words. When he got outside, he saw Qiao Mi standing on the wall platform slightly, and he quickly said hello, "Wei Wei, come down." Hurry up and get into the house, don't freeze."

Qiao Mi turned back to look at Father Qiao, then leaned on the wall and looked at the base, and found that the soldier was still nowhere to be seen, then jumped off the wall, "Dad, what are you doing out here, let's go inside."

Father Qiao went up and grabbed Qiao Miwei's gloves and squeezed them hard, "Is it cold when you enter the house? What are you waiting for outside? If they can't find anyone when they arrive, they will definitely call for someone, and you need to freeze here."

"This is sincerity." Qiao Mi smiled slightly, walked into the room quickly, and threw himself on the hot kang, "ah, it's so warm! It's better to be in the room." After crawling for a while, my body felt stiff and tense. After disappearing, she sat up and took off her gloves and hat, and said inexplicably, "Dad, you said that the army has something to do, why didn't you come to deliver water."

"I can't guess, but that's not what we should care about. It's fine if we don't come. I'm afraid it's more than 30 degrees below zero today. Don't freeze the little soldiers." Father Qiao sat on the edge of the kang and rubbed his hands to warm up. Holding Qiao Miwei's small face, "Didn't you wear a scarf, why is your face still cold?"

"I'm wearing it, it's too cold outside." Qiao Miwei's mouth was a little deformed by Qiao's father's hands, and his pronunciation was a bit inaccurate when he spoke, "Oh, I have to go to the kitchen to see if there is enough water for today?"

Father Qiao held her back, "It's definitely enough, we won't be able to use that water in winter, and the bucket won't hold enough to keep it in the pot every day."

"Oh." After hearing what Qiao's father said, Qiao Miwei fell back like a limp bone, "Dad, let's start grinding the wheat in a while."

Father Qiao paused, and then hesitantly replied, "Without a shelling machine, I don't know whether to shell or grind first."

Qiao Miwei said, "Then let's all try."

Father Qiao nodded, "I can only try it. I think the shell must be light. When it is finished grinding, it will probably float out if you shake it."
