Sweet love in military marriage: an egg in exchange for a rough husband

Chapter 184 Cold and Fever

Su Yunyun and others knew that as an old hand at farming, Su's father had extensive experience in judging the weather by looking at the sky and the clouds. Since he said it would snow heavily, it must be true.

The thought of going forward in the wind and snow, the biting cold wind mixed with snowflakes blowing straight at my face, making it hurt, and the wind and snow drilling into my neck, not to mention making me feel cold all over. If I catch a cold or a fever, it will affect my condition for tomorrow's exam. It's not worth it.

So they all quickened their eating pace, and as soon as they finished their meal, they picked up the bags they had prepared earlier, pushed their bicycles and went out under the earnest instructions and eager expectations of their families.

It just so happened that the Su family had a bicycle, and Han Sen bought one before getting married. After the marriage, he bought a ladies' bicycle for Su Yunyun, so there was just enough space for two people.

However, considering that it was inconvenient for two grown men, Su Ping and Su Tai, to ride a ladies' bicycle, they asked Su Kang to ride a ladies' bicycle with Wang Cuilan. After everything was arranged, they rode away on their bicycles.

When they arrived in the town, they left their bicycles at the supply and marketing cooperative, and then boarded a bus to the county town. Just as they sat down and the bus hadn't started, they heard a crackling sound coming from the top of the bus. Su Yunyun looked out and saw small round white ice particles falling on the ground. She was very surprised and thankful, "Salt particles are falling!"

These salt particles are called differently in many places. In different regions, they are called mullet, snow hail, snow grains, snow grits, snow beans, and snow particles, but they can be collectively called ice hail.

In Su Yunyun's impression, if salt particles fall before it snows, then it will snow heavily soon. After a while, there are scattered snowflakes falling from the sky, and soon they turn into heavy snow, which flutters down and falls on the roofs, trees, and ground on the roadside, covering them with a white and soft blanket, pure and flawless.

"It's good that Dad reminded me," Su Yunyun watched the snowflakes falling outside as the bus slowly drove towards the county town, "otherwise we would have to go to the county town in the snow."

Su Tai patted his chest exaggeratedly, "That's right, luckily we left early, if we had left late, it would still be okay to walk in the snow. I'm afraid that if it snows heavily, the bus to the county town will stop running, and we will have to walk there."

Su Tai was filled with fear. He had to walk to the county town on foot. It was snowing and visibility was poor. Many roads were covered with snow, and he had to walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He couldn't walk fast. If he fell and got hurt because the road was slippery, it would affect the exam starting tomorrow.

"The old saying is still right, an old man in the family is like a treasure!" Su Ping smiled and praised his father.

After hearing this, everyone in the Su family smiled knowingly. Without wasting any time, they took out their notes and started reviewing on the swaying bus.

Arriving at the county town, they braved the wind and snow to go to the guesthouse and showed their receipts to the staff. The staff then recognized Han Sen and Su Yunyun. Of course, these two people were indeed pleasing to the eye, so it was normal for them to be remembered.

The staff took out nine tickets from the drawer, tore off the tickets, wrote the room numbers on them, and handed them to Su Yunyun. "One ticket per day, keep it well. The rooms reserved for you are all good rooms facing the sun, and they have been cleaned up in advance. You can move in now. The hot water source is at the staircase on the first floor. There are thermoses in the rooms, so you can get your own hot water."

"Thank you!" Su Yunyun took the ticket and thanked the staff, then gave the ticket for the same room number to Su Ping and Su Kang respectively.

"By the way, comrade, where can I buy this breakfast?" Su Yunyun thought about going to the college entrance examination early tomorrow morning. It would be so cold. If she didn't eat something hot to warm her body in advance, she was worried that it would have an impact on her.

"Turn right and there's a state-owned restaurant not far away. They serve steamed buns, steamed bread and porridge in the morning," the staff told Su Yunyun. "It's expected to be crowded tomorrow morning, so you'll have to go early if you want to eat."

"However, we entertain all the canteens, and we also have steamed buns, steamed bread and porridge in the morning, but it is not provided for free, and the price is slightly higher than that of state-owned restaurants. If you want to eat, I can make a reservation with the canteen in advance. This way, after you get up tomorrow morning, you can go to the canteen on the first floor to eat or take it back to your room to eat, so as not to waste time." The staff thought for a moment and continued.

"Then let's eat in the cafeteria instead of going to the state-owned restaurant." Su Yunyun did not ask for other people's opinions and decisively decided to eat in the cafeteria. Seeing that others nodded and agreed with her decision, she asked the staff how to make a reservation and then gave him the money.

After finishing, they went upstairs to their respective rooms, and without any delay, took out their books and notes and began to review.

At noon, Su Yunyun asked them to go to the state-owned restaurant for lunch. When they returned to the guesthouse after lunch, they met Wang Yuhe and Zhang Wei. Both of them had snowflakes on their heads and bodies. They slapped and stomped their feet at each other at the door of the guesthouse to shake off the snowflakes.

Wang Yuhe accidentally saw Su Yunyun and others, so he stepped forward to greet them.

Su Yunyun asked curiously, "Are you guys staying at the guesthouse too?"

"Yes," Wang Yuhe replied with a smile, "I called home before, and my family reminded me to stay in a guesthouse, so I booked a room on the third day after I got my admission ticket. I also asked Zhang Wei to stay with me in the dormitory of the commune school last night, so that I could catch the last bus today."

\"The last bus?" Su Yunyun asked doubtfully, but her eyes drifted towards Su Tai. His judgment was right. The bus had indeed stopped running.

"Yes, the snow is too heavy, and the bus driver said it's not safe to drive," Wang Yuhe explained, "but this will force the comrades from the Youth Institute to walk to the county town."

"Are they coming early too?" Su Yunyun asked again.

"Well, after I booked a room, I went back to the Youth Institute to find Zhang Wei to live with me. After they found out, they also came to book. It seems that they wanted to save money, so they shared a room with three people!"

"They've worked hard too!" Su Yunyun sighed, "Why didn't they leave earlier?"

"We left early, actually!" Zhang Wei said. "Before I went to the commune school last night, they said they would leave at 8:30 this morning. It would take about an hour to walk from Dongshan Village to the town. It's even harder to walk after the snow, so we might be late. But when we got on the bus, it was already 9:30 and we hadn't seen them arrive yet, so we definitely won't be able to catch up. We have to walk now."

"You all set off at 9:30, so why did you arrive only after 12 o'clock?" Su Yunyun felt that the time didn't match.

"The snow made it hard to see clearly. The driver hit something while driving. The car took a long time to repair. Otherwise, we would have arrived in the morning." Zhang Wei was also helpless. Fortunately, they brought books with them, so the waiting time was not wasted. "It's just that the weather is too cold!"

"Then we have to prepare some brown sugar ginger tea for them to ward off the cold." After listening to their explanation, Su Yunyun thought that they were sitting in the car and could be sheltered from the wind and snow, but the educated youth who came to the county town on foot did not have such good conditions.

Don’t catch a fever because of this cold!
