Chapter 252 Transportation
Zhou Mingshu suggested making a thick sleeping bag that would not leak and was convenient, and then sewing a layer of oilcloth on the outside to make it more warm and windproof.
Just do it, use old cotton as the base, and then cover it with thick duck down, it is thick enough.
The openings at both ends were sewn again, and the drawstring at the entrance was sewn for easy pulling and pulling. Several people took turns to complete it, and it took two days.
The night before leaving, my second grandfather and second grandmother came over with some things, including some clothes, shoes and dry food, for Zhou Shouan.
"If I hadn't had no cows or donkeys at home, I would have gone over to take a look. Shouren, I'm leaving this matter to you. Can you see if your brother is okay? Give us a message..."
"Uncle, don't worry. I went there just to see Shou'an. We also prepared some things. Look, my mother has packed everything."
The two girls brought over another basket, which was padded with hay and filled with a lot of preserved eggs and preserved eggs. These eggs were more resistant to falling than raw eggs, and they were cooked, making them easier to eat.
I also selected some Chinese sausages and bacon to put in. In addition to these, I also prepared some dried vegetables, peppers, mushrooms, etc. at home...
Apart from some hay, the donkey cart was filled completely with these boxes.
Looking at the things on the donkey cart, the old couple were stunned. There were many more things prepared than what they had prepared.
Those who don’t know would think Shouan is the eldest sister-in-law’s biological son.
"Most of the things in the car are for Shouan, so you two should just be at ease and wait for me to come back."
After comforting the old couple, Mrs. Zhou had almost prepared everything.
"Okay, let's go. Be smart on the road and remember to hide or run when you encounter danger..."
Old Mrs. Zhou repeated all the precautions she could think of before letting her son go.
This child has never been away from home for such a long time since he was a child, except for running out to do business. Old Mrs. Zhou felt sad, but she held back her tears.
On the other hand, Liu, who was standing by, was so distressed that tears were falling from her eyes.
"Okay, get into bed quickly. It's so cold, and it's uncomfortable to be frozen."
Boss Zhou tied his hat and scarf, pulled the reins and walked away.
If there are no accidents on the road, there should be no problem.
We have prepared a lot of warm and cold-proof items at home. We are not worried that Mr. Zhou will get cold, but we are afraid of man-made disasters...
He was strong and healthy, so it didn't matter if he got beaten up. At worst, he had a knife hidden under the car floor.
Boss Zhou drove the donkey cart behind Wang Yuquan and walked slowly towards the county.
It's still dark now, so I dare not walk fast.
Besides, the things in the car are very valuable and he can't be reckless.
After joining the main force, the patrolling officers put some hay on Zhou Lao Da's donkey cart.
Before leaving, Boss Zhou fed the little donkey some food and water, and then put on the clothes that San Ya had prepared for the little guy.
People are afraid of the cold, and so are livestock. In addition, they are equipped with helmets and knee pads to prevent the little guy from frostbite.
"Shouren, your family has made very thoughtful preparations. Even the little donkey is wearing a coat." Wang Yuquan laughed as he pulled the ox cart.
"Yes, the mountains are high and the roads are long. We don't know what the weather is like in the west. We all wear thicker clothes than usual. We also need to take care of the livestock at home. Your cows are old, why don't you think about it?"
"You make sense. I just happened to have an old coat. I'll put it on my cow. I didn't think about it when I was at home. If I remembered it now, I would definitely put it on the cow."
Wang Yuquan acted quickly, threaded the rope through the thread, and then tied it to the cow.
Not long after being prepared, the grain transport team began to move slowly.
Those who were pulling grass were in front, and those who were transporting grain were behind. The main reason was that the grain was heavy, so the movement was slow. There were also many officers and soldiers escorting them on both sides.
There has been no snow in the past two days, but the cold wind has been blowing continuously.
Fortunately, the preparations were quite complete. There was a sleeping bag for night, a windproof blanket for walking during the day, as well as knee pads and a cloak. Boss Zhou was wrapped up like a ball, and it was even inconvenient for him to pee.
Wang Yuquan, who was traveling with him, thought that his family was more prepared, but compared with Zhou Shouren, it was still very thin, especially at night.
Even though I was sleeping in a windproof tent, I still felt cold all over.
"Yuquan, come here. This is for you. This is the quilt my mother prepared for Shouan. Cover yourself with it first. Don't get sick from the cold. We still have a long way to go."
"Shouren, I really don't know how to thank you. If you need me when you get back, just let me know."
"Haha, don't be polite. We are all brothers from the same village. This is no big deal."
"You know what, this quilt is really soft. Could it be filled with reed flowers?"
"How can that be possible? How can reed flowers keep out the cold? The duck down stuffed inside is very warm. You will know after sleeping on it for a night."
Wang Yuquan was afraid of getting it dirty, so he only dared to cover himself with it, but the warmth in the quilt was real.
So warm!
Boss Zhou gave the little donkey a windproof blanket to lie down on, used the knee pads as a pillow, and draped the cloak over the sleeping bag for secondary warmth.
None of the other officers slept as comfortably as he did.
Even with Boss Zhou's care, Wang Yuquan still caught a cold a few days later and had a fever and a runny nose.
Besides him, there are many other people in the same profession.
The officers gave medicine to everyone. Boss Zhou was a little afraid of getting sick, so he also drank a few sips.
But the disease did not get better because the weather was cold and everyone was wearing thin clothes.
Boss Zhou couldn't help it and took out the pills that San Ya prepared for him.
This was prepared in case of any accidents on the road. I am not sick, but I can't watch others die of illness.
While cooking, he distributed the pills.
"This pill is for fever. My niece worked in a drugstore for a while. This was specially prepared for me. Don't worry, I'll take care of it. If it's not serious, just take two pills. If not, come back and ask for me again."
Wang Yuquan felt sorry for Zhou Shouren as he watched him distribute medicines around, but Zhou Shouren didn't even frown.
This is a really grand plan, no wonder their family can make money.
"Yes, yes, I'm the one selling roast duck. If you want to thank me, go and support my business. When we go back, we'll be friends for life."
Everyone was a little timid at first and didn't dare to take the pill because it looked like poison.
But Wang Yuquan standing next to him looked visibly better after eating. His cheeks, which were burned before the meal, were red. When it was time to eat, no one ate as much as he did.
Seeing that he had recovered, everyone took the medicine with peace of mind.
The effect of the medicine took effect very quickly. Within an hour, I no longer felt so uncomfortable.
You don’t even need to drink the medicine sent by the officials.
Seeing that everyone had returned to their previous livelihood, the officials came up with an idea. They asked the drivers to walk on the ground so that they would not feel so cold after stretching their legs.
This time there was no need for them to remind them, as the drivers were all like that. When they were tired, they would sit in the car for a while, and when they were cold, they would run around on the ground.
They ran and jumped all the way, and finally arrived at the border half a month later and transported the things to the destination.
