Chapter 252 Arrive in the capital early
Although there were plenty of hot bricks to keep the quilt warm, the scorching temperature gradually decreased as time went by. Considering that there were elderly people and children on the bus, although the temperature of the quilt was still very warm, this temperature needed to be maintained for a long time. So Han Sen and Su Yunyun, who had been alert all the time, saw that the time was almost up, so they got up and got off the bus to check the coal stove.
After inspection, Han Sen found that the bricks on the coal stove were only slightly hot because the furnace door was closed. He immediately opened the furnace door. After a while, sparks came out of the coal balls. After a while, flames rose and the coal balls turned red.
When the bricks were heated, Han Sen used the tongs to clamp them off. Su Yunyun then placed the cooled bricks that she had just taken from Su's parents' truck on the coal stove. Han Sen then wrapped the bricks that had just been clamped off with an old cloth and sent them back to Su's parents.
Then wait for half an hour, repeatedly replace the hot bricks, clamp out the burnt coal ball at the bottom of the coal stove, and replace it with a new coal ball to cover the top. In this way, it won’t be long before the new coal ball will also raise a hot flame, and the fire will burn the bricks more quickly.
At this time, Su Ping got out of the car and walked up to Han Sen and Su Yunyun. "You two go back and rest. I'll keep watch."
Han Sen touched Su Yunyun's hand and found it was very cold. He felt distressed and quickly hugged Su Yunyun back to the truck.
After getting into bed, Han Sen put his worries aside because of the warmth he felt.
"Oh, the snow is about to stop, that's great!" Su Yunyun looked outside the carriage and found that only a small amount of snow was falling here and there, and she was very happy.
"Yeah, that's great!" Han Sen was also genuinely happy, as long as the snow didn't continue to fall all night.
As long as it doesn't snow all night, even if the snow on the road is thick, it will be limited. As long as the car drives slowly and takes more time, it is possible to reach the capital during the day.
In this way, they can live in the courtyards of the capital city, no longer having to endure the wind and snow and the biting cold.
The two of them fell asleep gradually, but neither of them slept soundly. They woke up several times when their family members or the driver came to replace the hot bricks for them. They also drank a lot of brown sugar ginger tea to warm their bodies.
The clock struck six in the morning, and it was still dark. However, the world outside the carriage was covered with a white velvet carpet that reflected and refracted light, so everything was clear and the vision was not obstructed.
The drivers got out of the cab first. Wang Dali walked back and forth on the road. After confirming everything, he went to the bottom of each truck in turn and called the Su family softly.
Except for the children who were sleeping soundly, the rest of the Su family quickly tucked in their beds after hearing the noise to prevent the cold wind from blowing in, then wrapped themselves tightly in their clothes and got out of the car.
Ignoring the dissuasion of Su Kang and others, Su's father and mother also got out of the car and came to Wang Dali.
"Everyone, it will be dawn soon. I woke you up so that you can prepare some food first, and then we will set off as soon as possible," Wang Dali explained to the Su family why he woke them up. "I have checked the snow on the road. Although it is thick, it will be fine if we drive slowly. So we decided to set off earlier so that we can reach the capital earlier and send you there."
Last night, the Su family thought that they might have to spend a lot of time here today! But after hearing what Wang Dali said, they immediately understood that this was the rhythm for them to continue their journey!
We can still get to the capital earlier!
So the excited Su family members immediately started to work.
Because a lot of water was used to make brown sugar ginger tea yesterday, and there was not much water left in the bucket, Li Yue did not make porridge. She directly put eggs in the pot, added water, put a grate on it, put the buns in, covered the pot and placed it directly on the coal stove.
Because when the coal briquettes stove is guarded by many people at night, new coal briquettes will be replaced in, and the fire in the coal briquettes stove will still be strong at this time, so it is very quick to boil eggs and heat steamed buns.
Soon a simple breakfast was ready, and Li Yue distributed eggs and steamed buns to everyone.
The children's food was delivered directly to the truck, so they could eat while sitting in their beds to prevent them from getting out of the wind.
Although everyone didn't wash, they all knew that the current situation did not allow it. Plus, they would soon arrive in the capital, so their excited hearts made them not care at all.
After breakfast, everyone cleaned up and replaced the coal in the coal stove with a new one. Then they sealed the stove door, leaving a small gap. This way, when they arrived in the capital, they wouldn't have to go through the trouble of lighting the stove, which was much more convenient.
After everyone in the Su family was seated, Wang Dali took the lead in starting the team truck and drove slowly on the road covered with deep snow.
Although the car was moving slowly, the potholes on the road were covered with snow and inevitably caused the wheels to sink into them or produce violent bumps. This not only made the drivers feel uncomfortable, but also the Su family members sitting in the back car suffered a lot.
They all looked a little uncomfortable, but they also knew that it was not the drivers' fault, so no one blamed them. After all, the drivers were suffering the same as them!
Just like this, about two hours passed, and Wang Dali stopped the car and asked the Su family to get out and walk around to calm down.
The Su family got out of the car quickly as if they had been pardoned, and the children also got out of the car and started turning in circles on the ground to exercise their hands and feet.
After a while, a look of relief appeared on everyone's face, unlike the expression of trying to suppress the discomfort they had in the car before.
"Everyone, we will be in Beijing in another hour," Wang Dali said to them with a relaxed tone and a smile, "The road ahead will be much easier to travel, and there won't be the bumpy roads like before, so everyone can relax a little bit."
The Su family did not pay attention to what Wang Dali said later, as all their attention was focused on the previous sentence.
They will reach the capital in one hour!
"I've looked at the map before. According to the address Han Sen and the others gave us, it will only take about 30 to 40 minutes to get you there once we get to the capital," Wang Dali continued, noting that everyone was very happy. "So we can still get you all home before noon as planned!"
"Thank you so much!" Han Sen and Su Yunyun looked at each other. It seemed that their bumpy days on the truck would soon be over, and they couldn't help but feel happy.
"You're so polite!" Wang Dali waved his hand. "If you've had a good rest, please get on the bus. The sooner we leave, the sooner we can reach the capital."
"Okay!" After hearing this, the Su family members immediately helped each other, got back into the car and sat firmly. Then they felt the vehicle starting, and everyone had a beaming smile on their faces.
They will be arriving in the capital soon!
