Chapter 719 The young widow who inherited her dead husband’s estate (69)
The young widow who inherited her dead husband's estate (Sixty-nine)
The temperature has been getting more abnormal recently.
During the last cold wave, Song Ning asked the trio to come over to work, but this week he had given them a day off early and let them go back home.
Because three waves of cold waves have hit in just one week, the average temperature across the country has dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius. The conditions in the northern regions are relatively good, but in the south, which has never experienced sub-zero temperatures, there have been dozens of cases of people freezing to death.
When Song Ning saw the news, he and Lance were curled up in bed with the heating on.
They are neither very south nor very north and are not in an area with heating supply, but they still have some air conditioning. They turn on the heating and put a humidifier next to it, so they can still survive.
"Brother, the weather feels so strange recently. Is something going to happen?"
When the second cold wave hit last week, Lance had the trio harvest the vegetables in the field and pile them up in the cellar.
When they were harvesting, the trio felt a little sorry, saying that the vegetables were not frozen and might still grow.
However, Lance made an excuse, saying that if their abilities were any cooler, they wouldn't be able to save the food, and the trio stopped discussing it.
When Lance spoke, Song Ning looked at him and said nothing.
Afterwards, when Lance held him in his arms at night, he explained to him with a slightly serious expression.
"The weather has changed so badly that even if you have the ability to save these vegetables, since almost no one outside can save them, our place will become particularly eye-catching."
Although he deliberately chose a particularly remote countryside, it is not only human eyes that can discover the lush greenery here.
Lance must consider Song Ning's safety more.
Fortunately, he had made special heating equipment for the chickens and ducks when he built the house. Although it was a bit crowded, at least they could live well.
They also picked up a batch of chicken and duck eggs yesterday, which shows that they are still okay even though they are cold.
As for the fish pond, they fished up the shrimps and left the fish and lotus seeds to freeze on the ice.
The vegetables in the front yard have all been picked and eaten, and now the outside looks barren.
Song Ning also knew Lance's concerns.
He in turn comforted Lance, "It's okay, brother. We can store the fruits in the cellar in this weather. They won't go bad even if we don't sell them. It's good to eat them slowly over the winter."
This batch of vegetables have not yet fully grown. Although it is a pity to harvest them, they are indeed the most delicious to eat now.
However, at that time, Song Ning just thought that the weather was getting a little colder. He didn't expect that the weather would get worse and worse, and the situation would become more and more serious.
At this moment, the two of them were hugging each other in bed watching the news. The more Song Ning watched, the more uneasy he felt.
"The temperature dropped so suddenly. It seems that many people were not prepared for the cold weather, and the cold wave has already frozen everyone."
It was because of Dong Dafu's reminder that he and Lance hurriedly placed orders for a lot of cold-resistant supplies.
After thinking about it, Lance even bought a generator for backup at home. In addition, he also bought a lot of other supplies. Last week, Lance drove his tricycle to pick up the express deliveries.
Firstly, it was too cold and he didn’t want Song Ning to be frozen. Secondly, there really wasn’t room for one more person.
"The authorities have acted quickly, but the problem now is that if the temperature continues to drop, things may get worse."
Lance knew very well that there had been a drop in temperature in his previous life, but due to certain research, the situation was actually quite different from now.
One of the factors that led to the formation of the cold wave is still closely related to the revival of spiritual energy.
But whether or not we can discover and solve this problem depends on humans themselves.
As Lance thought about these questions, his blue eyes were deeper than the sea and more ruthless than ice and snow.
Although he has a body similar to that of humans, he does not think that he has become a human.
Song Ning leaned against his chest and didn't notice anything, but was a little worried.
"I hope things will get better. I don't know how Dong Dafu is doing. Can he come over for the New Year? He called us last time to remind us. I don't know if he has prepared the supplies."
As he was speaking, Song Ning's cell phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and looked, who else could it be but Dong Dafu?
"Hey……"
"Don't feed me, buddy, come down and open the door! I'm downstairs at your house!"
Song Ning and Lance looked at each other in surprise, and quickly got up and put on their clothes.
"Wait a moment, we'll be down soon!"
"Damn it! I almost froze to death!"
Dong Dafu was wrapped tightly, with snowflakes all over his head and body, and he was carrying two large suitcases.
As soon as he entered the door, he patted himself on the ground, rubbed his hands and stamped his feet.
"It's too cold, too cold. How are you two? Have you listened to what I said? Have you prepared all the cold-resistant supplies?"
Song Ning quickly asked Lance to pour a glass of wine. Dong Dafu took a sip, and a spicy and warm feeling surged up and drove away the coldness in his body. Only then did he feel like he was alive again.
"This wine is OK. This wine is good."
After moving around for a while, Dong Dafu realized that the couple were standing there looking at him like a monkey, and he quickly handed each of them a suitcase.
"Don't look at me, brothers. Here are my luggage and some things I brought for you. Is there anything warm? Can you give me something to eat? And where should we park our car? I drove this junky car here and parked it outside. I haven't dared to turn off the engine yet because it's too cold."
"I'll stop the car for you. You and Ningning can put your luggage down first. I'll make food later. We're also ready for lunch."
Lance asked him and took the keys to park the car. Dong Dafu saw it and quickly snatched his suitcase back from Song Ning.
"No, no, no, just take it and unpack it in the living room and take out the things. I'll carry my own luggage."
Song Ning was amused by him and scolded with a smile.
"You don't consider me a brother anymore, right? Is it too formal for me to help you carry your luggage?"
Dong Dafu chuckled and retorted.
"I think of you because I treat you as my brother. How do I spoil you? But when I come here, I ask you to do these things. How can I feel comfortable? Besides, I am counting on you to make delicious food for us. What's wrong with doing some work?"
Song Ning couldn't argue with him, so he pulled another suitcase and opened it to take a look.
They were all cold-resistant things. It was obvious that Dong Dafu was worried that they were not prepared to buy them. He probably also included some for himself.
After packing up all the things, Song Ning took Dong Dafu to the guest room and asked.
"Why are you here at this time? We were wondering if you were so busy that you wouldn't be able to come over for the New Year."
Dong Dafu stood on the stairs carrying his luggage and wiped his face hard.
"What else can I do? I'll just ask for leave and stop working. If I continue to work, I'm afraid the New Year won't come yet. I'll go first!"
Upon hearing this, Song Ning turned his head to look at him, only to find that there was a heavy dark circle under Dong Dafu's eyes. It was obvious that he had not had a good sleep for a long time.
