Chapter 635: Chapter 636: Have you seen it clearly?

The next day, the snow stopped.

This year’s winter arrived exceptionally early, the weather at the end of November felt like deep winter.

Early in the morning, people in the safe zone received a notice to collect winter supplies according to the allocated areas, one area at a time.

Su Shu also received the notice.

It was the Luo Family’s younger son, his ears covered with a hat, who came to notify her.

At that moment, Su Shu had just finished baking pancakes, and the warm aroma that wafted out as she opened the door almost made the Luo Family’s son drool.

Su Shu casually wrapped four steaming pancakes, stuffed them into his arms, and smiled, “They’re hot, hurry back home.”

“Thank you, Auntie Su! I’m off!” Xiaozhi shouted and then ran off.

“Be careful!”

“I know!”

After closing the door, it was time for the family to eat.

During the meal, Su Shu said to Lu Tong, “After we finish eating, I need to go down and collect supplies. You and your brother and sister stay home and take good care of the house.”

“Okay,” Lu Tong replied.

After eating a few bites, he looked up again, “Do you need me to go with you to carry things?”

“No need, I can handle it,” Su Shu said, not taking it too seriously.

She was not the delicate type to begin with, carrying things wasn’t a bother, and besides, she understood that the winter supplies given out would certainly not differ from those distributed in the past.

There probably wouldn’t be much to give.

In the past, Tang Zelin had worked hard for the winter supplies, and his father-in-law Tang Husheng had even slammed the table in the provincial city.

It must have been difficult.

Now, just being notified to go and collect the items was already a good sign.

Considering the meager supplies divided among so many people, there wouldn’t be much.

After the meal, when she was about to head down the mountain, Lu Tong still insisted on accompanying her, despite his reluctance.

Xiaopang, holding Xiao’ai’s hand, also insisted they didn’t need their brother to look after them and wanted to go down to the Luo Family with their sister to play with the two Luo boys.

Seeing the determined look in Lu Tong’s eyes, Su Shu figured the child was probably worried about her being pregnant and not at ease.

If he was worried, it was just as well to go together.

So, they locked the main door and split their ways.

On the way, Lu Tong carefully guarded Su Shu’s side, fearful she might accidentally trip.

He would kick away any stones he felt were hazardous well in advance.

Seeing him so busy and anxious, Su Shu simply took hold of him and led Lu Tong down the mountain by hand.

“It’s okay, relax, there’s nothing to worry about.”

Lu Tong looked at her holding his hand and was slightly stunned.

They reached the bottom of the mountain.

The person who said it was nothing, upon seeing the throng of people ahead, suddenly realized such a crowd jostling about was indeed quite dangerous.

Su Shu looked around and, spotting a gap to the right, said, “Let’s go that way.”

The two of them made their way through the crowd on the right side and stepped onto an abandoned flowerbed, finally getting a clear view over the heads of the crowd to see what was happening up front.

“Auntie Su, can you see clearly now?”

“I can see clearly, we go to the left to sign and get the ticket, then we go to the right to collect things, and finally we go through the check at the passage in the back.” She had a high vantage point and could see the process ahead fairly clearly.

Lu Tong helped her down from the flowerbed, relieved.

Su Shu led him forward, “Let’s go get the ticket first.”

The area for identity verification and ticket collection was so crowded that it was nearly impossible to get through.

Even with military police maintaining order, it was still a chaotic scene of pushing and shoving as people desperately tried to move forward.

The government workers were nearly crushed against their tables by the crowd.

In the end, it took a loud shout from an officer who came up from behind to quiet things down slightly.
