Chapter 396 The weather is too cold
Qin Huairu's family's New Year's Eve dinner has been arranged. With the help of Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai, the dinner will probably be a sumptuous one.
But Chinese New Year is not just about the New Year’s Eve dinner. In addition to the New Year’s Eve dinner, you need to prepare a lot of things at other times.
Although Qin Huairu managed to get some supplies back after much effort, they were still relatively scarce compared to other people's homes.
Qin Huairu still felt very disappointed when she saw other families in the compound transporting things home every day.
When other people’s children celebrate the New Year, they will wear new clothes, eat candies, and set off firecrackers. How disappointed your own children would be if they didn’t have any of these.
But her power alone is limited after all, and she cannot satisfy the wishes of three children.
Fortunately, there is an old man who often helps their family, and Qin Huairu is very grateful to the old man.
Ever since she married into the compound, the eldest uncle has been very good to their Jia family. Especially after her man Jia Dongxu successfully became their apprentice, the eldest uncle has taken even better care of their family.
Whether in life or work, the uncle contributed a lot to their family. Even after Jia Dongxu passed away, the uncle did not give up on their family and continued to help as much as possible.
The appointment was made today. An old man said that he would give their family 10 kilograms of white flour. 10 kilograms of white flour is not a small amount. Now their family will not lack white flour to eat during the New Year.
By then, the children will have white flour buns and noodles to eat, which will solve Qin Huairu's big problem. Ten kilograms of white flour costs more than three yuan outside, and if it weren't for the uncle, their family really couldn't afford it.
It’s just that an old man said that because of the incident involving Sha Zhu last time, which caused a lot of commotion in the compound, people in the compound said all kinds of things, and the impact was not very good.
So when you give her the white flour, it’s better to order it behind her back so that no one else can see it, otherwise it will be difficult to explain.
After all, flour is very precious, and Yi Zhonghai is the eldest uncle in the courtyard. It would be a bit unreasonable for him to just help the Jia family.
There are many other poor households in the compound, but if Yi Zhonghai really helps them all, he cannot afford it. Even if he can afford it, the price is too high. The old man is not stupid and will not do that.
So in the end it was decided that it would be better to go to the cellar, where there were fewer people. When the time came, I could hand the flour to Qin Huairu, and the two of us would be able to complete the handover quickly, and then leave quickly, which should be very safe.
As for why Yi Zhonghai didn't send the flour directly to the Jia family, it was because Jia Zhang was suspicious. She was very suspicious of Qin Huairu and always felt that her daughter-in-law was not honest outside. The white flour buns and meat dishes that Qin Huairu brought back from time to time were evidence. Yi Zhonghai didn't want to face Jia Zhang's ugly face.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Qin Huairu got up and walked outside.
At this time, people in the compound should be getting ready for bed. The nights are long in winter and there are not many entertainment activities, so most families go to bed at nine or ten o'clock.
Seeing Qin Huairu still walking outside at this time, Jia Zhang subconsciously asked:
"It's so late, where are you going?
It’s cold outside.”
Qin Huairu made up an excuse to get away with it:
"I'm going to the bathroom, and I'll be ready for bed when I come back."
When Jia Zhang heard her daughter-in-law going to the toilet, she didn't care.
"Okay, be careful on your way, it's quite dark outside.
Wear more clothes, it's cold outside. Bring the urinal in when you come back and rinse it with water first."
Qin Huairu didn't even turn her head and hurried out.
"Okay, I get it. Go to bed first. I'll be back soon."
After leaving the room, Qin Huairu went straight towards the cellar.
At this time, the courtyard was already very dark. Qin Huairu groped her way in the dark, taking one deep step and one shallow step, to the entrance of the cellar.
Fortunately, the distance was not far and the road was very familiar, otherwise without a flashlight I might have fallen a few times.
At this time, the cellar was even darker than outside. It was so dark inside that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Qin Huairu plucked up her courage, felt the wall with her hand, and moved step by step into the cellar.
It was a little scary to be alone in the dark cellar late at night. Qin Huairu shivered in the cellar waiting for an old man to bring her some flour.
The cellar was dark and cold. At this moment, she couldn't help but blame Yi Zhonghai:
"What a fool! Why would he think of delivering flour to the cellar? It's too dark in here. It's really a bit scary.
If it wasn't for ten kilograms of flour, I would never have come to the cellar so late at night!"
The area of the entire cellar was quite large. Qin Huairu didn't dare to go any further inside. She stood at the entrance of the cellar with her back to the cellar. It was dark and eerie inside. She always felt like something was coming from behind her, which made her scared.
Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long. There was a noise at the entrance of the cellar, and then a man slowly walked down.
Looking at the man's figure and movements, Qin Huairu knew that he was an old man. Qin Huairu was very familiar with old men.
"Uncle, you are here.
Slow down, don't fall.
Why don't you bring a flashlight? I remember you have a flashlight at home."
Yi Zhonghai's voice also came over:
"We came to the cellar to keep it secret. If I bring a flashlight, how can I keep it secret? The flashlight will be too obvious and it will be bad if others see it.
Don't worry, I'm familiar with this cellar. It broke down a few years ago, and I personally participated in its repair."
"Okay, just don't fall.
Uncle, are you cold?
Do you wear too many clothes?
Don’t let yourself get cold.”
……
Qin Huairu left the house under the pretext of going to the toilet outside. In fact, she did not go to the toilet, but went to the cellar. However, Xu Damao really went to the toilet.
Going to the toilet in such a cold weather really froze his butt.
After the pleasure, Xu Damao ran home quickly. The weather was too cold. Anyone who went to the toilet at this time would be frozen to death, especially those who had to defecate. If they squatted for a little longer, their buttocks would be directly exposed to the air and would be frozen and numb.
Xu Damao did just that. He trotted into the compound, cursing:
“This is so damn cold!
It is so inconvenient to go to the toilet. It is too far away and the weather is so cold. My little brother almost froze to death.
It’s not convenient to poop. It freezes right after it comes out. Do I really need to prepare a poop stick in the future?
This is too disgusting!
I think Shazhu should have diarrhea at this time, go to the toilet more often, and freeze that grandson to death!"
Xu Damao felt sick of his own strange idea. He shook his body and thought about quickening his pace to run home.
But suddenly he heard voices coming from the entrance of the cellar, and they were the voices of a man and a woman, which made Xu Damao extremely curious.
He no longer felt cold, and his strong curiosity prompted him to tiptoe to the entrance of the cellar, where he secretly pricked up his ears to listen.
