Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

Chapter 278 The Tragic Yi Zhonghai (2)

As he expected, there were seven or eight boxes of pastries inside, which could last for two or three days at least. It was impossible for the snow to last for two or three days, right? Besides, if it snowed again tomorrow, he would go to the deaf old lady's house across the street and bring back the food, which would last for several more days if nothing unexpected happened.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel that this shouldn't be a big problem, but the smell outside was too fragrant. Little did he know that this was the braised spareribs and fish soup made by Su Xingchen's family. The taste was really delicious. If it used to be the kids next door crying with greed, today it was Yi Zhonghai next door who was dying of greed.

But now there were only a few snacks and pastries at home, so Yi Zhonghai had to eat the pastries while smelling the smell. He secretly vowed in his heart that when the snow stopped, he would go out for a good meal, such as braised pork, stir-fried kidneys, and Kung Pao chicken. Well, let's eat with this aroma now. Yi Zhonghai ate a box of pastries with boiled water, then washed up and went to bed. There was no other way. He would get hungry easily if he didn't sleep. It was better to go to bed early to maintain energy.

The other people in the courtyard had hot meals, no matter what the food was, at least they could have hot soup and some vegetables, the worst was cabbage vermicelli. Because of the blizzard, the voltage was not particularly stable, and there was not much entertainment at night, so everyone went to bed early on the first night of the blizzard.

Since no one knew when the blizzard would end, many people thought it would be over soon, so they did not save on wood, coal briquettes, etc., and even used a little more than usual. After all, the weather was still quite cold.

The next day, everyone in the courtyard woke up early, but the blizzard outside did not stop as they expected, but got heavier and heavier, and the snow outside even covered half the height of the door. At this time, some people became deeply worried, because not everyone had a lot of food and fuel stored at home. If this weather continued, they might not be able to hold on.

Su Xingchen woke up early in the morning. The first thing he did when he woke up was to look out the window. As he expected, it was still snowing outside. It seemed that the seven-day blizzard the system said was true. Fortunately, he was prepared, but he didn't know what other people in the city who were not prepared should do?

Su Xingchen sighed, shook his head, and simply went straight into the system space, "Sign in."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 5 Big Black Tens and two premium quilts." As the system finished speaking, the so-called premium quilts appeared in front of Su Xingchen.

I guess this is also used to keep out the cold? Su Xingchen thought of this and walked over directly, touching the texture of the quilt. Why does it feel a bit like an air-conditioned quilt?

"System, can this premium quilt keep me warm?" Su Xingchen couldn't help but feel confused as he touched the quilt.

"Answer the host, the special-grade quilt can withstand temperatures as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius." The system immediately responded to Su Xingchen's question.

Sure enough, Su Xingchen knew that this system would not give him useless things. But it was not easy to give this thing to his mother now. He had to think of a reason to give it to Liu Lihua.

As soon as Su Xingchen exited the space, he heard his mother knocking on the door, "Chenzi, are you awake? Is there anything you want to eat in the morning? I'll make it for you."

"I'm awake. It's all right, Mom. If it's not too much trouble, could you give me some fried dough sticks?" Su Xingchen shouted outside while wrapped in a quilt.

"You're so beautiful, but you still want to eat fried dough sticks? Okay, get up quickly, I'll make you fried dough sticks." Liu Lihua said she wouldn't make it but she was still preparing to make it for Su Xingchen.

If it were someone else's family, would they still use fried dough sticks? It would be good enough to have some porridge and some pickled mustard in the morning, but they also fried dough sticks with wide oil. Only Su Xingchen's family could afford this. If it were someone else's family, how could they afford this?

Yi Zhonghai also woke up leisurely at this time. Unfortunately, Yi Zhonghai's family had a lot of coal and wood for heating, otherwise he would have been woken up by the cold.

After waking up, Yi Zhonghai walked directly to the window wrapped in a quilt, "Wow? Why is it snowing so heavily? This is not good. I have to go to the old lady's room to get food back." He frowned at the high snow outside. The snow was not the main problem. The main problem was that the snow was still falling. If nothing unexpected happened, it would not stop today. He really didn't want to eat cakes. It was okay to eat a piece of that thing occasionally, but if you eat too much, you will feel sick, not to mention eating cakes as a meal.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai put on his clothes, boiled some hot water, and threw the pastries into a bowl to soak and eat. Although it was still a bit greasy, at least it was warm in the mouth and he didn't feel bland after eating it.

After dinner, Yi Zhonghai found a hammer, because he didn't have the lock of the deaf old lady's room. After cleaning up, he put on his coat and went out. Looking at the thick snow in front of him, Yi Zhonghai had to take a shovel and shovel the snow while walking across. Now the middle courtyard can be said to be the quietest. The Jia family is gone, the deaf old lady is gone, and only Yi Zhonghai and the three members of the He family are left.

Yi Zhonghai shoveled hard for more than an hour before he reached the front of the deaf old lady's house. He looked back and saw that the snow on his way back had started to accumulate again, and it was already up to his calves. Well, he quickly went into the house to find food, otherwise it would take another hour to get back.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai took a hammer and aimed it at the lock on the deaf old lady's door and smashed it down. "Ah!" This time, the lock did not open. Instead, the hammer fell and hit Yi Zhonghai's foot. He completely forgot that the old lady with the hammer had asked him to fix it as soon as possible, but Yi Zhonghai forgot about it. Now he has brought it upon himself.

"My dear, why do I seem to hear someone calling outside?" Auntie frowned and said to Uncle.

"What's the matter? I think you are just hallucinating because of your old age. I'll eat quickly and then I'll go shovel the snow at the door. If the snow continues to fall, it will bury the yard sooner or later." Yan Bugui shook his head and continued eating.

Su Xingchen also heard the voice, "Mom, was there someone calling outside just now?" Su Xingchen also put on his clothes and walked out, while Liu Lihua was frying dough sticks at the moment.

"It seemed like there was a sound just now, and I thought I had heard it wrongly." Liu Lihua said as she used chopsticks to stir the fried dough sticks in the pot.
