Chapter 445: Take precautions before they happen

Chapter 445: Take precautions before they happen

They are all people who have experienced a natural disaster. It has only been three years since they lived a stable life. Are they going to suffer it again?

Mother Lin's face was full of sorrow. Father Lin saw it and sighed in his heart.

The world is really strange. Natural and man-made disasters are coming one after another, but they can only endure them.

"Go and have a rest, I'll get the meat." Lin's father looked at his wife's hands that were red and swollen from the cold, and said with a distressed tone.

The two of them had known each other since they were young. Although life was a little harder in the past and his wife had to work hard, now that life is rare and he doesn't want his wife to suffer anymore.

It was hard work for her to open a food shop, so she finally stopped her business, so she should get more rest.

"You are clumsy, just help dry the meat on the side."

Mother Lin shook her head, saying she disliked her husband, but in her heart she didn't want him to be tired.

The meat in the basin weighs about ten kilograms per long strip, and is tossed and tossed. Now that the weather is cold and my wife is in such poor health, I might as well cook it myself.

"I've been watching here for so long. It's time for me to learn it. You should get up quickly and wash your hands and hold the heater. You'll get frostbite soon and you'll be in pain again."

Father Lin's face showed some annoyance. He didn't know that his wife felt sorry for him, but no matter how bad his body was, it was still better than his wife's.

A hint of sweetness flashed across Mother Lin's face, but her hands showed no intention of stopping.

Life was difficult in the past, and every winter my hands would be covered with frostbite. Although it has gotten better in the past two years, I still experience itchiness on my hands when the weather gets cold.

At this moment, a pair of hands were turning over the cold meat strips, and the hidden chilblains were itching again.

"You old woman." Father Lin was a little annoyed and wanted to lift her up, but his back was already bent, so he could only sullenly pull the wooden basin in front of Mother Lin towards him, and squat down. on the ground.

Seeing her old man roll up his sleeves childishly, Mother Lin was somewhat amused, but her heart was filled with warmth.

Several little girls on the side looked at this and snickered secretly, and the two Lin brothers were even smiling.

The relationship between their parents is really good.

The two brothers of the Lin family are very agile people. After listening to Linglong and the others explaining the steps of marinating meat, and then watching the actual operation, they already knew everything about it. In a short time, the two of them had marinated two large pots of meat strips. .

Rows of bamboo poles were set up in the small courtyard, with heavy meat strips hanging on them, which looked quite spectacular.

Sun Cui felt heavy, and it was cold and slippery outside, so she was left at home.

Also at home are Chen Qiulan and four dolls.

The weather this year is really too cold, so they need to prepare some winter clothes.

Although you can buy ready-made clothes everywhere now, ready-made clothes are always not as solid as those made by yourself.

Sun Cui's belly was a little big, and she was afraid that her eyes would be tired, so he just let her lean on the couch to stroke the thread, while Chen Qiulan sat aside and sewed the clothes carefully.

"Sister-in-law, do you think we can survive this time?" Sun Cui was stroking the thread, feeling unspeakably worried.

She vividly remembered the escape three years ago. Sometimes when she fell asleep at night, she would dream about the scene where corpses were everywhere.

Those scenes were so horrific that she didn't want or want to experience them a second time.

It would be okay if he suffered, but now he still has one in his stomach.

Pregnant women are prone to overthinking. Now when she thought about what happened back then, her face turned pale.

"Don't worry too much, everything will be fine." Chen Qiulan saw her sister-in-law's worry and patiently comforted her.

"Our family managed to survive being so poor back then. Now that we have prepared everything in advance, nothing will happen."

As if she was afraid that she would be worried, Chen Qiulan shook the jacket in her hand again and said with a smile: "Look, I made this specially for you. I added almost two kilograms of cotton in it!"

Looking at the big coat, Sun Cui blushed a little.

She is not fat, but since she became pregnant, her whole body has swelled up like a steamed bun soaked in water.

If this jacket were really worn on me, wouldn't it become a ball?

"I made this a little bigger so I can still wear it for another two months."

Chen Qiulan smiled and nodded, and then started sewing carefully again.

"But sister-in-law, I always feel restless and a little panicked."

After hesitating for a while, Sun Cui finally spoke his mind.

To be honest, this is their fourth year in Yancheng, but even when they first arrived in Yancheng, the weather had never been so cold.

Plus her sister-in-law’s special instructions, no matter what she thought, it wasn’t right.

This time things will probably be even worse than the droughts and floods back then.

Just afraid that there will be an epidemic.

After the drought, there was another earth dragon, and within a month there was another major flood.

The road to escape was littered with corpses, which means they had to run fast, otherwise they would not have been able to escape the original epidemic.

It was said that a group of refugees poured into Xincheng that year, but there were rumors that those refugees were carrying diseases. In the end, all of them were burned together by the city lord of Xincheng.

Many people also died in the villages outside the city.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Sun Cui felt that her heart was beating too fast.

"What if there is another epidemic?"

There is only one way to die if you get the disease.

"Believe in Nanzhi and Wen Chen." Chen Qiulan patted the back of her hand and comforted her softly.

Pregnant women are most likely to have random thoughts. Although she is not sure in her heart, she must at least let her siblings stop those thoughts first.

Nanzhi and Shen Wenchen in the city lord's mansion are a bit big-headed.

"Rumors" have spread more and more wildly in the past two days, and the price of food in the city has been rising again and again.

But the common people now have some reserve in their hands, so they don't need to worry too much about this aspect.

But in addition to food, they also need warmth.

Firewood and coal are also needed to make a fire for cooking.

It would be okay if this natural disaster can survive for a month or two, but if it cannot survive, it will be a problem to make a fire and cook.

There's also the matter of the plague.

The scale of the plague three years ago was actually not small, but it was because Yancheng was in chaos at that time and there were very few victims who came to seek refuge, so it did not spread in Yancheng.

But this time I couldn’t tell clearly.

After all, there was a rat infestation outside the city.

"Nannan, thank you for your hard work." Shen Wenchen looked at Nanzhi who was looking at the dark eyes and felt a little guilty.

If he were better, Nan Nan wouldn't have to work so hard.

"It's not hard." Nanzhi shook his head and gently stroked his bulging belly with one hand.

"If I were smarter, I could think of more, but I don't know anything..."

She doesn't have any medical skills, nor is she very talented in business, otherwise she would be able to help more and save more people.
