Chapter 622 Water and Ration

At around five o'clock in the evening, it began to snow in the sky. The snow was as heavy as goose feathers, accompanied by the biting cold wind that cut flesh and scraped bones.

Tang Xiaochuan took Brother Zhan and others back home when the heavy snow just fell. When he got off the car, he heard the old man standing under the eaves looking up at the snowflakes all over the sky and sighing: "It's been so many years since it snowed like this!" It's snowing heavily, it hasn't been as cold as it is today for at least forty years!"

My mother also said: "Yes, I remember when we were children at that time, when the pond behind the house was frozen in winter, we could run a tractor, and when we got up in the morning, we could see the ice hook hanging under the eaves was two feet long. In winter, there will be no snow and no ice, and this is the first time it is so cold today, and there will be thick ice in the canals and ponds tonight!"

Tang Xiaochuan suddenly remembered something, "Mom and Dad, quickly find some unused cotton clothes to wrap the exposed water pipes inside and outside the house, otherwise the water pipes will be frozen and damaged if the temperature is too low! I will find a bucket to carry water to fill the water tank !"

Old man Tang's face changed, and he quickly said to his wife: "Go find an unused cotton coat to wrap the water pipes, especially the water meter, which is the most likely to freeze and crack! I will go get water with the boss and the second!"

Tang Xiaochuan said: "I can go alone, I don't need so many people!"

"Do you know where to fetch water?" Old Man Tang asked.

"Eh...don't you go to the pond behind? I remember that the pond was quite big and the water was very deep. We picked water from there when we were young!" Tang Xiaochuan said.

Old man Tang shook his head: "How many years has it been? Now the water in the pond is unusable, and there are paddy fields around. How many times do you apply pesticides every year? After tap water is available, everyone in the village uses tap water instead of pond water. Since the disaster, water and electricity have been cut off, and all the water in our village has been picked from the river!"

Tang Xiaochuan was surprised and said: "Pick it from the river? It's five miles from our house to the embankment? How much pain does it take to bring a bucket of water back?"

"What can I do? These days, Xiuqing drove to the embankment and waited. I went to fetch water and packed it in a plastic bucket, then put it in the trunk and brought it back. Those who don't have a car at home can only carry it back with a bucket. Yes! Our place is pretty good. There are lakes on the banks of the Yangtze River. Even if the water is cut off, there will be no shortage of water. After the water and electricity cutoffs in those big cities, you may still be able to buy bottled mineral water. Mineral water sells What to do when it’s over? Not to mention domestic water, even drinking water!”

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "How much water does our family have?"

Old man Tang said: "There are only three buckets. Yesterday the Han people went to the town and the city to look for it, but they couldn't buy mineral water. Now everyone drinks water from the river and boils it. Some people's homes For those with alum, first use alum to remove impurities in the water, then boil it before drinking it!"

Tang Xiaochuan searched around at home and found that there were not enough daily necessities at home, such as paper towels, tobacco and alcohol, and new year's goods for entertaining guests during the Spring Festival. He called Tang Hanmin and said, "Go to the town to find the leader and see Is their sprinkler free? If the sprinkler is not working now, I can borrow it. Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. Let’s store more water and put it in the water tower. It will be more convenient for everyone to take a bath. I will go out and see if I can find it Come back with some daily necessities and mineral water!"

"it is good!"

Tang Hanmin drove away with a promise, and soon came to the town to ask the leader, knowing that the sprinkler was not working, so he borrowed the sprinkler to drive to the river, and then called old man Tang, asking him to take the small Diesel engine, water pump and water pipe are sent there.

The old man Tang dragged the small diesel engine and water pump in his car. The father and son moved the water pump, small diesel engine and water pipes together and installed them. Rinse the inside of the sprinkler, and then store water until it is full.

It was too cold by the river, and the river wind blew, and the father and son were shivering from the cold. After packing up their things, they drove the sprinkler home in a hurry, filled the water tower on the roof of the house with water, and connected it to the water outlet of the sprinkler with the same hose , Then the water pipe is connected to the water pump, and the diesel engine is used to pump water to the large water tank on the roof. First, the water tower is rinsed clean, and then filled with water.

At this time, Tang Xiaochuan had already arrived in Jiangcheng by aircraft. Before the disaster, Feitian Technology Group had stockpiled a large amount of daily necessities, with a wide variety of supplies. After the disaster, the affected people and employees of the group donated Some, but a large number are kept in warehouses.

"Boss, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, why are you here at this time?" The person in charge of the warehouse hurried over.

Tang Xiaochuan looked at the supplies in the warehouse and said, "Prepare a helicopter for me, and prepare all kinds of daily necessities, especially paper towels, mineral water, cigarettes and alcohol, as well as some snacks, instant noodles, etc. Put some on the helicopter and send me to my hometown!"

The person in charge quickly agreed: "Understood, I'll ask someone to prepare it right away!"

"Wait!" Tang Xiaochuan stopped the person in charge again, and said, "Call an extended long-distance transport truck, load some of all kinds of daily necessities, fill this truck up, and ask the driver to deliver it to my house." In the town, if it can be delivered tonight, then it will be delivered, if not tonight, it must be delivered before noon tomorrow, and the driver will call me when he arrives!"

"Okay, boss!"

When Tang Xiaochuan returned home in the aircraft, Tang Hanmin, the old man and his son had just pumped the sprinkler to the water tower, and Guan Jingwen and Wang Xiuqing were standing under the water tower watching.

Guan Jingwen asked, "Dad, how much water can our water tower hold?"

"Ten tons, we have regular water supply here, two to three hours in the morning, noon and evening, and we often do maintenance. As long as the circuit and water pipes are repaired, the water will be cut off, so almost every household has a water storage tank installed on the roof. They are all one-ton stainless steel water drums. When our house was built, we directly built a water tower. When the water is cut off, the water in the water tower can be used by the whole family for half a month, but it needs to be disinfected and cleaned frequently. Now There is also a water purifier installed at home, so I feel more at ease when using water!"

Tang Hanmin washed his hands and said, "This sewage should be enough. At least during the Spring Festival, I won't worry about using water. There is also water for bathing and washing!"

Guan Jingwen saw Tang Hanmin came back and saw that his hands were empty, so she couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say to find daily necessities? Why didn't you bring anything back? So fast? Could it be that there is really nothing to buy in the market now?" arrive?"

Tang Xiaochuan said: "I have already sent someone to send it over, and it will take an hour or two to feel it!"

He asked again: "Is the water tower full?"

Tang Hanmin nodded: "It's full, and this sprinkler can only hold ten tons, just finished pumping!"

Tang Xiaochuan greeted Zhange Wuge and others, and a few people drove the sprinkler and Numb to go out. Guan Jingwen asked, "Why are you going?"

"I'm going to get another carload of water and come back to see if other people in the village have asked for water. It's snowing heavily now. Some people must not have enough water. I'm afraid the rivers will be frozen tomorrow, and I want to break the ice. It is difficult to get water!"

My mother shouted: "Then you all be careful, it's snowing so much now, and the wind is strong by the river, don't let anything happen to you!"

"I see!"

Tang Xiaochuan took a few robot bodyguards and quickly drove the sprinkler to the river, installed the diesel engine to pump water to the sprinkler again, and then drove back to the village. On the village road in the village, he turned on the car speaker and shouted while driving. : "Is there anyone who wants water, the water pumped up from the river, if you want it, come out quickly..."

A middle-aged man ran out and saw Tang Xiaochuan driving the car. He smiled and asked loudly, "Boss Tang, when did you start working as a sprinkler? Do you want money for this water?"

Tang Xiaochuan responded loudly: "Aren't you scolding me? It's free, do you want it?"

"Me, but there is only one water tank in my house, it's too heavy to move out!"

"Wait, I'll drive to your door and connect it with a water hose!"

Tang Xiaochuan sent the water to the family and continued to drive forward, yelling on the horn while walking, and the villagers who needed water came out with buckets to pick up the water. It didn't take long for the carload of water to run out, but the village was not halfway there. He had no choice but to call Brother Wu Zhan and others to drive back to the river to continue pumping water. He filled another truck with water and had to fill all the villagers' homes in the entire village with enough water for several days.

When Tang Xiaochuan returned home, it was already 7:30 in the evening, and several women were setting up tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks for dinner.

"It smells so good, I'm really hungry!" Tang Xiaochuan said as he walked into the house fearing that he would finish the snowflakes on his body.

Guan Jingwen, who was setting the dishes and chopsticks, asked, "How is the situation outside?"

Tang Xiaochuan exhaled hot air, took off his coat, and said: "The temperature is lower and colder, and the snow is knee-deep. The victims of the disaster are probably terrified. No matter how strong the board houses and tents are built It can be ventilated. The temperature in the minus 20s, coupled with the cold wind, how can the tin board houses and tents withstand it? But the town should have distributed some charcoal and coal to these victims, and they should be able to survive. As for other places, especially those big cities, the disaster-stricken area is large and the population is large, it is really difficult under this general temperature!"

The family was preparing to eat, when there was a rumbling sound outside, Tang Xiaochuan said: "It should be the delivery of daily necessities!"

As soon as the door was opened, the family came out and saw a helicopter hovering on the field in front of the house and slowly landing.

After the helicopter stopped, the pilot came down to greet Tang Xiaochuan: "Boss, everything you asked for has been delivered to you!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Tang Xiaochuan immediately called Brother Wu, Brother Zhan and others to move things, 18 liters of large barrels of mineral water were brought down one by one, as well as paper towels, boxes of various snacks, and high-end tea , coffee, cigarettes and alcohol, pure milk, yogurt, bread and so on.

After the pilot left in the helicopter, everyone moved all these things home together. Tang Xiaochuan said to Guan Jingwen and Wang Xiuqing: "Check again to see if you need anything else. If necessary, we will meet you tonight or tomorrow morning." A large material transport vehicle drove to the town, which I donated to the disaster-stricken villagers in the name of individuals and groups, if you still need anything, please tell me, and we will move some back first!"
