Chapter 0741 The journey to visit relatives and friends is difficult
On the second day of the first lunar month, at six o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu got up early and washed up.
As soon as they opened the door, the two of them were stunned by the thick snow in the yard.
"It's at least ten centimeters!" Qin Ruoshu stretched out her foot to explore, then retracted, "Honey, it's snowing so hard, can you still go out?"
"It's not a big problem..."
Zhou Yan, who was wearing long boots, jumped into the snow, ran to the tool room to get a snow plowing tool, and plowed a path in the yard.
After opening the door, clean up all the way to the pig farm.
At home, Mrs. Zhou Yan has already prepared breakfast.
In my hometown, we usually don’t cook porridge until the first lunar month. However, in order to take care of Qin Ruoshu, Mrs. Zhou Yan specially cooked millet porridge.
Staple food, meat buns, bean buns.
"If you really can't walk anymore, just go back!"
"It's all agreed," Zhou Yan was not too worried, "I bought the anti-skid chain with steel claws. We already tied it yesterday, so it's not a big problem!"
"That's good..." Father Zhou thought for a while, "I remember that Zheng Yun seems to have a group of helicopters coming..."
"That thing?" Zhou Yan rolled his eyes, "It's too big, but if the city airport is built, a few can be put there..."
After breakfast, Zhou Yan drove the ball to the pig farm, flipped over the last row of seats, and then loaded things into the trunk.
The steamed buns, hair cakes, and jujube flowers have already been bagged and sealed by Zhou Yan.
After that, there is fresh meat refrigerated at low temperature. Although the old Qin family is not short of meat, when the new son-in-law comes to visit, pork is still needed. In addition to pork, my mother also prepared some slaughtered chickens and geese.
Finally, there are baskets of fresh vegetables and fruits. The humidity is relatively high, so they can only be placed on the outside.
Professional drivers start their cars for the first time in the new year, and there are a lot of things to pay attention to, but the old Zhou family does not believe in evil spirits, so they just put on a "crackling" red earth sign to complete the ceremony.
"Go early and come back early. If it doesn't work out, just stay here and go to your grandma's house tomorrow!"
"knew!"
After getting in the car, Zhou Yan took off his coat, fastened his seat belt, looked back at Qin Ruoshu who was taking off his down jacket, and shook his head helplessly: "Give me your sleeves..."
Taking off the bloated down jacket, Qin Ruoshu breathed a sigh of relief: "It feels much more comfortable. I would have worn a coat if I had known!"
"Fasten your seat belts and get ready to go!"
With the addition of anti-skid chains, the car stopped slipping, but the bumpy feeling was much stronger than usual.
There were few cars traveling in the village on a snowy day, and the snow had not yet compacted, so it was quite stable to walk on. But after leaving the village and getting onto the main road, there were two tracks in the middle of the road that had been compacted into icy lumps.
In order to feel more comfortable, Zhou Yan could only move to the side and walk where the snow was not compacted.
After driving for more than two kilometers, Qin Ruoshu suddenly glanced meaningfully at the red wall and green tiles that loomed on the side of the road: "Is Zhao Xiaoyu from that village?"
"I'm not sure..." Seeing his wife's face darken, Zhou Yan explained with a smile, "The two nearby villages both have the surname Zhao, and the village names are also similar, Shang Zhaozhuang and Xia Zhaozhuang. Where can I
Do you know which village Zhao Xiaoyu is from?"
Taking advantage of the lack of traffic on the road, Zhou Yan increased his speed a little and tried the effect of the "new type anti-skid chain", and it was okay.
When we got to town, there were more cars on the road and the speed slowed down again.
After passing through the center of the town, although the road is still chaotic, the road grade has changed from a county road to a provincial road.
And soon, Zhou Yan knew why the provincial highway was called a provincial highway: at the first turn after leaving the town, there was a Hongguang crossing the road.
With its high chassis, Hongguang's bumper is not a big problem, but the paint on the front wheel hub is a little peeled off...
"Didi..." Zhou Yan honked the horn twice, slowed down the car, lowered the window glass, and asked loudly, "Do you need help?"
"No, thank you!" The driver standing on the roadside waved his hand.
Speed through.
"Husband, did the car stop suddenly?" Qin Ruoshu's face was filled with excitement.
"It should be that when we were meeting another car, I wanted to slow down, but it was too late. Fortunately, I didn't hit it..."
As he spoke, Zhou Yan glanced at the mountains in the distance ahead: "There is probably a lot of excitement on the winding mountain road ahead..."
There are only two roads leading from Qingyazhen to the district and the city, and both of them need to pass through a long stretch of winding mountain road nicknamed "Eighteen Pans".
Traffic accidents can happen even without rain or snow, let alone after heavy snowfall.
Later, due to the re-planning of the airport and provincial roads, in order to avoid the "eighteen discs", it took a lot of effort to straighten the road by cutting mountains and building bridges when encountering water.
But Zhou Yan didn't expect that before reaching the "eighteenth plate", the two of them saw something exciting: a small light truck filled with cargo started burning tires on a slope of about ten degrees.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yan quickly ran away.
Going further, broken car parts, plastic bumpers, shattered glass, rearview mirrors, wheel hub covers, and bits and pieces of engine oil began to appear on the road...
"Look at this situation, someone went out yesterday afternoon?"
Going forward, there is a scene of intimate contact.
Fortunately, the snow was slippery and the speed of the car was very slow. Even if the car could not be stopped, it was only a close contact and rarely threatened the safety of the passengers.
Looking at the pairs of cars that were in close contact with each other, Zhou Yan was willing to step forward, but he really had no energy to save him: the snow on the road had been compacted, and the anti-skid chains could not allow Qiu Qi to bear the burden of towing the truck.
.
When the provincial highway turns to a national highway, the car accident becomes even more serious.
The car had just traveled three or four kilometers when the flashing red and blue police lights could be seen far away.
When I got closer, I discovered that a heavy-duty semi-truck was hugging a "Don't Touch Me" truck hard. Although there were no casualties, shock and property damage were the price that had to be paid.
Going further, the snow showed signs of melting, and snow removal work was already underway.
Without the snow, the speed will naturally increase.
At around nine o'clock, the car drove into the urban area. More than ten minutes later, the two arrived at the community where the Qin family was located.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There was smoke at the door, and there was already a long queue of cars ready to go out. It took a lot of effort to get through the queue and drive into the community.
"Didi..." After parking the car, Zhou Yan honked the horn twice and looked back at Qin Ruoshu, "Daughter-in-law, call your father-in-law and mother-in-law and ask them to come down and move things..."
When Qin Ruoshu made the call, there were already people watching the excitement at the door of the unit. Some even shouted at the top of their lungs: "Fang Yuan, your son-in-law is here, why don't you come down to greet him!"
Just over a minute later, Qin Ruoshu's cousin and cousin trotted downstairs.
Seeing several people, Zhou Yan got out of the car, put on his down jacket, and opened the trunk.
"hurry up……"
Seeing Zhou Yan bringing down a box of vegetables, the melon-eating crowd watching the excitement all grew their necks.
"Who still eats vegetables during the Chinese New Year, but now they all eat meat!" As she said this, cousin Qin Ning glanced at the basket and asked, "What has been in it these past few years?"
"Rape, beans, cucumbers, and eggplants..." After speaking, Zhou Yan moved another box, "Inside are celery, zucchini, green peppers, cabbage and tomatoes..."
Zhou Yan's father and mother packed four baskets of vegetables. When my father-in-law came over, they had already finished moving the vegetables, leaving only meat and pasta.
"It's just snowed, and the price of vegetables is still as high as the sky," Qin Fangyuan smiled and lined up on Zhou Yan's shoulders, "We are not short of vegetables here, we might as well transport them out and sell them!"
"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense," Qin's mother glared at Qin's father, "After all, the in-laws share the same feelings."
Saying that, Qin's mother glanced at Qin Ruoshu, who was wrapped up tightly, and nodded reluctantly: "It's okay. Your grandpa said that if you want children, you should pay more attention..."
