Chapter 78
On January 3, Long Jianhua and Pan Wenhua drove slowly towards the southwest of Hunan Province. In the thick snow on the road, some ruts occasionally appeared, all of which were marked by anti-slip chains.
Pan Wenhua, who was sitting in the passenger seat, cursed, "This is a ghost weather, why are you doing such a thick snow? The speed is 30% slower than usual. It would have been three hours, but today it will take four hours."
Long Jianhua laughed and said, "Brother Wenhua, I am a farmer. Haven't you heard that auspicious snow indicates a good harvest? It snows heavily this year, and the harvest will be good next year."
But I thought in my heart that it feels annoying to see such thick snow now. In another twenty years, it is worth a capital book to see one quarter of the thickness; thirty years later, you will be ecstatic to see snow falling in the sky.
Pan Wenhua gave him a blank look, "What kind of farmer are you? How can a farmer be like you?"
Then he leaned over and said, "Hey, Jianhua, when will you go to cover sparrows? Let me tell you, I sent fifty to our heads yesterday, but he was so happy. I gave fifty to my uncle's house and fifty to my master, but there were only more than eighty left in my own house. Yesterday I fry, stir-fry, and make meatballs, and made all the tricks you taught. Now there are only twenty, which is not enough to eat."
"It's not easy to cover sparrows? There's some time, just go to cover them. It snows almost a month, and it's very difficult to find food for sparrows. It's the best time to capture them."
"Hehe, sparrows want to eat, rabbits want to eat too. They have to find a chance to get rabbits."
"Brother Wenhua, don't tell me that your rabbit is about to finish eating..."
"It's not that you're about to finish eating, but you've finished eating! You haven't been back for more than a month, and there are only twelve in total. Do you want to eat it for so long?"
"I said Brother Wenhua, how much meat does everyone eat now? One sheep is definitely gone, and you still eat twelve rabbits. You are so awesome."
His two sisters have already married to other markets and rarely come back. Only the two brothers and Mr. Pan and his wife eat at home. They eat so much in less than two months, which is simply unimaginable.
"How can we eat so much? My two sisters and nephews made an appointment to come back together. When my mother was about to leave, each family sent a wild duck and two rabbits."
Long Jianhua smiled and said, "That's what it should be. I thought you four had eaten so much in two months, but I was shocked... This time I went to deliver the goods, so I could go see my second sister. Don't you have to go around it, right?"
"Don't! It's a long mountain road to her. It's steep and steep, and it's not safe... Damn! Something happened!"
At a left turn in front, an old Jiefang's butt was slung outside the road, and the tire on the right rear was already hanging in the air; two drivers sat dejectedly on the side of the road smoking, and saw Long Jianhua's car, and quickly stood up and waved.
Long Jianhua got off the car and looked at their car, and found that he was lucky. The car was too fast when turning. Not only did the tires on the right rear were already suspended, but half of the tires on the right front were outside the curb, and the roadbed was pressed out of the cracks.
After their brief introduction, Long Jianhua learned about the general situation, which was actually similar to what he speculated.
One of them is a master, and the younger one is an apprentice, who drives from Heji Province; both of them think they are very skilled, after all, there is more ice and snow in the north, so they don’t care much about this little snow.
They walked straight along the way no less than forty kilometers per hour, and turned no more than thirty kilometers, and they were fine all the time. When they turned this turn, they slowed down to thirty kilometers as usual, but found that this turn was not the same as before. They were very anxious, so they hurriedly stepped on the brakes, but they were thrown out.
Long Jianhua said to the master Li Zhanmei, "You drive our car and pull it. Wait for a while, and the right front wheel will also go down."
It is still easy to trailer. Li Zhanmei drove the car to the front and took out a set of trailer tools. The problem was solved in less than ten minutes.
Faced with the thanks from the two of them, Long Jianhua smiled and said, "The south is different from the north. There are many slopes and many bends, and the slopes are steep and sharp. Never think that there are too many heavy snow in the north, just think that the south is the same."
The apprentice Zhao Jianguo said with lingering fear, "That's right, from now on, you can drive up to thirty per hour and turn ten to fifteen."
Long Jianhua laughed, "That doesn't need to be like this. They are all masters, so you can't be scared by such a bend."
Li Zhanmei laughed and said, "To be honest, I was really scared by this bend. No wonder when I was building the Qinghai-Tibet Line, I asked all the car soldiers to be from the south, or I had to take the master from the south... Two comrades, which unit do you belong to? In the future, we will ask our unit to write a thank you letter."
Long Jianhua looked at Pan Wenhua without saying a word. Pan Wenhua shook his head and said, "There is no need for a thank you letter. This is your own solution and it has nothing to do with us. Everyone is away from home, so it is inevitable that they will encounter one kind or another problem. It is also appropriate to reach out to help."
Li Zhanmei smiled and expressed her gratitude, and told the two of them about their unit, saying that if they leave the car in the future, they should remember to ask them for drinks.
People in this era are very simple and will help others when they are in trouble, without any reward.
Seeing that Li Zhanmei and the others said they had a rest before leaving, Long Jianhua and Pan Wenhua immediately said goodbye to them and leave.
When they arrived at the destination, they had already gotten off work, and the two drove out again and found a restaurant to have dinner.
When he was away, Long Jianhua liked to eat noodles. He believed that eating noodles would not only make you full, but also a large bowl of soup. Not only did the soup taste good, it could also replenish moisture and salt loss, and more importantly, it would taste faster; Pan Wenhua couldn't do it, and he would be hungry if he didn't eat rice. In order to take care of his stomach, both of them tried to eat rice as much as possible when they left the car.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon after unloading the goods. The two drove home. The speed was as fast as they arrived, and it was already dark when they arrived.
It was already half past five when I entered the district of Shajuan City.
While passing through a forest, Pan Wenhua, who was talking about not seeing a hare today, suddenly shouted, "Jianhua, what is that guy on the tree? He looks like a cat, and also like a leopard...Wow, there is a rabbit there!"
Long Jianhua immediately pulled over and looked at Pan Wenhua and said in the direction of a cat, "That's a raccoon cat, not small, very good meat. Brother Wenhua, stay here and don't move, I'll beat it down."
He quietly pushed open the car door, got out of the car with a slingshot and a small bag, and moved gently to the tree where the raccoon cat was. Instead of looking at the raccoon cat, he pretended not to see it.
After coming to the tree, he packed the small stones and suddenly raised his bow and looked up. The raccoon cat saw the human looking at him and jumped to the tree in front. At this moment, the raccoon cat flew out and hit its neck. The raccoon cat fell from the air and hit the ground heavily. Long Jianhua took a step forward and stepped on the raccoon cat.
