Chapter 251 Let’s Find a Solution
Seeing Wang Dali and the drivers relaxed, Su Yunyun immediately added, "When you arrange the shifts later, you must pay attention to the maximum number of drivers, because the drivers still have to drive tomorrow and must not get too tired, otherwise they will lack physical strength and affect driving safety."
"Okay, don't worry!" Su Ping's heart trembled, and he immediately replied with a promise.
When Wang Dali and the drivers heard what Su Yunyun said to Su Ping, they concealed their surprise and joy and said nothing.
They didn't expect that Su Yunyun would notice that they needed to get enough rest to ensure driving safety, and they couldn't help but admire Su Yunyun's character and decisiveness.
In this way, the group started to get busy under Su Yunyun's arrangement.
During this time, Su's father and mother asked them why they were busy in the wilderness. When they heard Su Kang's explanation as he was covering their quilts with a layer of plastic sheet, they were shocked. They had to spend the night in the wilderness in such a cold day!
I'm afraid you are kidding!
But when they saw their children busy making preparations, they realized that they had to stay in the wilderness tonight, and the uneasiness in their hearts made them silent.
Fortunately, they figured it out quickly. Now that we are here, let's make the best of it!
In addition, after hearing Su Kang tell Su Yunyun about every detail of the arrangements she had just made, she realized that they were already doing their utmost to ensure the warmth of their family!
What more can you ask for!
After all, Su Yunyun and the others should have more worries in their hearts, so it is better not to burden them and just accept it calmly.
When Su Ping lit the coal stove, Su Tai had already placed steaming mutton soup on the simple stove, while Li Yue and her two sisters-in-law divided the work between them to prepare the ingredients for the brown sugar ginger tea.
Fortunately, I drew a lot of water at noon today, and there was a lot left before I used it up. I originally wanted to pour it out, but I saw that the surface of the bucket was covered with a thin layer of ice. I thought that at this temperature, the ice layer would become thicker soon, and if I put the water in the car, it would not spill out with the shaking of the vehicle and wet other things, so I kept it in the car.
It’s just right for making brown sugar ginger tea now.
Su An took the time to use a knife to break up the ice, and when the mutton soup was heated up, he could make brown sugar ginger tea.
Seeing that the mutton soup was already boiling, Li Yue quickly took out a bowl and served it to the people present. The Su family asked her to drink first.
Li Yue agreed, drank a few sips and then started to set up another pot. She scooped water mixed with ice cubes from the bucket into the pot, then put a grate on it and put the steamed buns on the grate. This way, when the water boils, the steamed buns will become hot and soft.
After the water boiled, Li Yue pinched the buns to test their softness and found no hard core. She picked up two pairs of chopsticks and took out the grate. Wang Ye then put the brown sugar and ground ginger that he had prepared in advance into the boiling hot water. After a while, the spicy aroma of brown sugar ginger tea wafted out.
The Su family and the driver started eating steamed buns and steamed buns. After filling their stomachs, after a while, the spicy smell of brown sugar ginger tea became stronger and stronger.
Li Yue opened the lid of the pot and took a look. The color of the ginger tea was dark red. The spicy smell made her turn her head to the other side quickly and she sneezed several times in succession.
"This brown sugar ginger tea is authentic!" Su's mother also smelled the aroma and exclaimed.
Li Yue and Wang Ye started to pour brown sugar ginger tea into thermos and found that two or three thermos were still empty. Then they began to prepare brown sugar and ground ginger, and poured water mixed with ice cubes from the bucket into the pot, and then put it on the simple stove, ready to boil another pot of brown sugar ginger tea.
"Wait a minute," Su Yunyun stopped Li Yue and Wang Ye, "Big brother, second brother, you guys wrap these bricks with old cloth first, third brother, take the unburned bricks and rebuild the stove, so that you can burn more hot bricks."
Su Ping and his companions immediately followed his instructions and wrapped the baked bricks in cloth and placed them in the beds and cabs of each vehicle. This way, the temperature of the beds and cabs gradually warmed up.
When Su Yunyun saw Su Ping and his friends setting up a new stove, she quickly asked Su's father, mother and the children to get back into the car and sit in bed to avoid being attacked by the cold wind.
After Li Yue had made the brown sugar ginger tea and poured it into thermoses, Su Ping delivered the thermoses to the cars one by one. He put 3 bottles in the first car, 2 bottles in the second car, and 1 bottle in the third car. These were all for the family members. He then gave 2 bottles to the drivers. This way, whenever they felt cold at night, they could immediately drink some brown sugar ginger tea to warm themselves up.
Li Yue and her two sisters-in-law looked through the clothes they brought with them and found some very worn ones. They took them out and wrapped them on the hot bricks, and then Su Ping sent them to the car one by one.
After everything was cleaned up, everyone returned to the cab or bed, and the briquettes stove was placed directly under the second truck's cabin, with bricks on top to continue burning.
Because some extra bricks had been burned while making the second pot of brown sugar ginger tea, the need to continue heating the bricks was not so urgent. Therefore, Li Yue closed the door of the coal stove, but not tightly, leaving a small and narrow gap, so that the coal balls in the furnace can continue to burn, but not too quickly, to prevent the coal balls from extinguishing themselves after the coal is burned out if people are not paying attention.
Everyone in the carriage wrapped their thick clothes tightly, and then arranged the child in the middle, followed by Su's father and mother, and the outside were the Su brothers and their wives.
Fortunately, when they set out, the Su family brought all their quilts with them. Because they were worried that the temperature would drop too quickly at night, they took out some of the packed quilts and covered them directly on the bed. This way, the temperature of the quilts could be maintained and would not drop.
The drivers sitting in the cab wrapped themselves tightly in their military coats and covered themselves with quilts as they huddled in the narrow seats, with hot bricks wrapped in old cloth and clothes at their feet.
The drivers looked out the window, and because everything was quiet, if they listened carefully, they could hear the rustling sound of falling snowflakes, which made them feel excited.
Unexpectedly, on such a cold winter night camping in the wilderness, they did not panic or at a loss as to what to do, but were calm and composed instead.
They knew very well that all this calm response came from Su Yunyun and the Su family behind her.
The scorching heat from the soles of their feet made them feel even more grateful towards Su Yunyun and the Su family!
Su Yunyun, who was in the third truck, snuggled in Han Sen's arms. The thick quilts and hot bricks on both of them kept the cold out.
She looked at the snowflakes blowing into the shed with the wind. Although the plastic sheet was blocking the snow and the quilt would not get wet, she was still a little nervous. "If the snow continues to fall all night, even if we can get through the night smoothly with the previous arrangements, when the sun rises, the snow on the ground will be so deep and thick that the car will definitely not be able to move. What should we do then? We can't continue to suffer in this icy and snowy environment!"
Han Sen hugged Su Yunyun and held her hand. "Don't worry for now. If the snow really continues all night and the car can't move forward, we can think of a way out. We must believe that there will be a way out when the car reaches the mountain."
