When the first power outage occurred, residents of Tuanjie Village did not take it seriously.
Deng Caihua had a habit of watching TV dramas. Not only did he love watching it, but he also liked watching it out loud. He's been staying in the hospital lately because he has to take care of patients in the same ward. She was embarrassed to play the TV drama too hard, she felt the plot with the strong conflict was looking rather boring.
When he came home now, he still had to let him go.
After dinner and a bath, Deng Caihua could not wait to sit on the cloth sofa that his eldest son and daughter-in-law had bought, and turned on the 50-inch TV that her younger son bought for her last year. .
She is currently pursuing a 120-episode family ethics drama. The plot outline is a poor but kind-hearted girl married to a rich family. During this period, she experiences a series of tragic stories such as being persecuted by her mother-in-law, miscarriage, and her husband having an affair with boyfriend San leaving the bastard bankrupt, but the heroine chooses not to go, but the heroine chooses not to, and went back to her husband, supported her, encouraged her, and eventually gained the approval of her law-rich mother-in-law, and restored her husband's story.
"stupid!"
Deng Caihua scolded and noticed, is there such a foolish woman in this world? The trash is gone, how about picking it up and licking it a few more times? There was also an evil mother-in-law who helped her miscarry, and just because the bankrupt mother-in-law "repent" later, she could honor her as her own mother regardless of the past?
While scolding the heroine, the old woman scolded the bastard, the poisonous woman, and the bastard, and also scolded the director and screenwriter who wrote this kind of script.
"Can't we learn from him?"
The old woman broke the peeled orange in half, and handed half to her grandson Susu and the other half to her grandson Yuanyuan.
"Uh huh."
The small head of round, white, soft milk weighing a sticky ball, probably because it was taken care of by the grandmother, although only three and a half years old, he was also a loyal fan of 8 o'. hours of TV series. He had no idea how complicated it was. Does he understand the plot?
"Don't learn from her, listen to grandma."
After putting a piece of orange meat into her small mouth, it was full, and she was a little slurred as she spoke, the orange juice slipped out of the corner of her mouth from time to time, she said, and he stuck out his tongue to lick it back. .
"That's a blanket!"
A reasonable appearance made the old woman extremely rare.
"If someone bullies you in the future, do you know what to do?"
The education of Deng Caihua's grandson is very suitable. His precious little grandson could not be intimidated by anyone. He should be taught to protect himself.
"By good…"
The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then looked at the heroine in the TV drama who was bullied by the evil mother-in-law and wiped the floor with her knees.
"Aud grandma!"
The little fist was tightly clenched, its nose furrowed, trying to put on a ferocious expression, but being too cute, it only made people feel cute.
Sue grandma and let granny beat the villain that bothered her.
In Susu's heart, grandma was the most powerful person in the world, her father listened to her, and everyone in the village was also afraid of grandma.
"Hey, Susuku is really smart. That's right, if anyone bullies you, just sue grandma, and grandma will bully you back."
The old woman hugged her good grandson, and felt that no second girl in the world was as beautiful as Milk. Her family Milk is not only funny, but also smart. She knew that she would find her grandmother when she was in trouble. Lead him.
It's right not to steam those idiots tonight, and it's better not to give them to the kids until you're sure whether those stupid chickens, ducks, and geese are as stupid as their mothers.
But how to prove that there is no problem with the egg?
The two boys flashed through the old woman's mind, surely, they were also her big sons.
How about choosing Ma Aifang? A long face flashed across Deng Caihua's mind.
After all, the woman was already stupid enough, and it didn't matter if she was a little stupid.
In a beautiful little western-style building more than 100 meters away, a woman was sitting on a leather sofa watching the same TV series on a 70-inch TV, and the orange in his hand was destroyed because of that disturbing plot.
The more Ma Aifang watched, the more angry she was, the heroine mother-in-law in this TV series was really annoying, that face was as hateful as Deng Caihua's face.
He should be home today, right?
Currently, the TV series happens to be in a scene where the heroine is about to miscarry due to her harsh mother-in-law.
Ma Aifang did not care about losing that old enemy, and his heart was so high that he knew that the heroine's son would not be able to maintain this time in the preview of the previous episode, either, but he still hoped a miracle would happen.
Just as the operating room door opened and the doctor came out of the operation to announce the results, an explosion rang out, and the power of the TV surged out, leaving only a black screen in front of him.
Not only that, the small lights that were originally lit in the living room were also turned off at this time.
Fortunately, what I am watching now is not a horror movie or a detective movie, otherwise, in the middle of the night, I would be scared to death.
Ma Aifang patted his chest, making use of the incoming moonlight from the glass window in the living room, fumbling to pull out the flashlight from the cupboard under the coffee table.
Circit in Tuanjie Village is unstable, trips often occur, and most villagers still grow crops, every time there are melons and fruit that has been cooked, he said, they always go to the fields at night to check so that people do not pick. They were secretly melons and ripe fruits, so almost every house was equipped with a flashlight.
Ma Aifang turned on the flashlight, and the room became brightly lit, he got up and walked out, trying to see if the electricity went out, or just his house tripped.
At the same time, Deng Caihua and Susu also watched the plot suddenly end at the most exciting moment.
The long desire to eat oranges on the side was relieved, and finally ended.
He wants to watch Ultraman, he wants to watch Journey to the West, and he doesn't want to watch weird TV dramas like Let Love Come Home.
Hope that call doesn't come!
"Ma Er, do you have electricity at home?"
When Deng Caihua walked into the courtyard with a flashlight, there happened to be an old man standing in the next courtyard who came out to ask the situation.
"No, this TV is only halfway."
The old man was wearing a yellowed old man's shirt, with a thin coat on his shoulders, and he was stepping on a pile of rocks beside his current courtyard of his house, he seemed to want to stand a little higher, he seemed to want to stand a little higher, so that he can see the nearest house clearly the lighting conditions of the neighboring house.
The surroundings were pitch-black, and the streetlights that were supposed to be lit at night were all extinguished at this time.
“It is estimated that our village experienced a power outage.”
Ma Er said with certainty.
"Why did the power go out without notice?"
Deng Caihua felt a little uneasy, it was only his first day back, and he did not watch it as a TV series.
"There may be a problem with some parts of the circuit. Its alright. The village chief should call the power bureau later. Everyone, sleep. It'll be fine when you wake up early."
The circuit in Tuanjie Village was not good, and there were frequent power outages, so everyone was used to it. It's late at night, so why not go back to sleep.
The older generation can bear it, but the younger ones always hold their phones.When they find out that the internet is cut off along with the power outage, and they can not even receive a signal, the, they can't take it right away.
But what can they do when there are no signals and no calls can be made?
Go to sleep, go to sleep, you'll be fine when you wake up tomorrow morning, it's been the whole village deal.
That night, Susu chose to sleep with her grandmother, while Su Aobai was alone in the room, looking out of the bedroom on the second floor, the dark village, and meditating in her heart.
No, what's there to worry about?
In this life, he cheated. My daughter's ability is amazing. Now it seems that the mother who saved his life also has a special ability. He can chew young and old. He is the invincible!
I don't know if the last world was too sad. The difficulty of this world is very low. The system sends it to this particular time. His mother did not die unexpectedly. In the mind of his daughter, he is still very good.Father, despite his lack of meetings and parting, his daughter is not as close as he is to his grandmother, but his initial fondness has reached 78, the, which was not seen in some of the previous worlds.that it was just a step away from the qualified path required by the system.
Even if he did nothing on purpose, this fondness would gradually increase in the future as he hung out day and night.
The boat was naturally straight when it reached the bridge, but Su Aobai chose to stop thinking, in this life, she just wanted to waste and listen to her mother.
*****
"Have you called yet?"
"Why is there no signal?"
"I can't connect to the Internet, and I can't even call 110 or 120!"
Early in the morning, many people came to the door of the village chief's house one after another.
In a small village like Tuanjie Village, the identity of the village chief was still very prestigious, when faced with problems, the first thing everyone thought about was the village chief and the village party secretary.
Deng Guohua took out a rusty 28-stick bicycle from his warehouse to calm the villagers.
"Don't panic, I'll go into town and ask."
Now he was riding an electric scooter when he came out, but last night the power went out all of a sudden, and the electric scooter was not fully charged. With that little manpower, it's okay to go back and forth between the city and village governments, but if the city can't handle it well, go to If the district hears the news, it's, I'm afraid that's enough.
So Deng Guohua thought of the ancient bicycle he had lost, because his wife was stingy and shrewd, he never wanted to throw it away, so they piled it up in the warehouse.
He tried it, the bike was still working, he gave the oil to the chain and he was ready to go.
On the other hand, Kong Yao was also in a hurry to get out.
He thinks more than the villagers.
Power outages are common, but even the signal is completely gone, which is rather abnormal.
If there is a problem with the nearby signal tower, it makes sense to send someone to notify at this time, but now there is no movement at all, it is long gone, and the electricity and signal have not recovered.
Since Kong Yao woke up early to cook, he also found that the water tap was cut off at the same time, which signified that the nearby water pipes and even the local waterways were problematic.
So after she finished her simple breakfast with mineral water, she would return to the city to find out about the state of her husband working in the unit.
If there are only problems in his village, then take the children and parents to stay in the city for a while until the water and electricity signals recover.
He still had to contact his parents, and he had no idea what was going on with them.
"Sister-in-law, let me come with you. I just want to buy something, so I can return the car to my friend."
Su Aobai also proposed the idea of going to the city together, the old woman's body had stabilized, and her two children, Susu and Yuanyuan, could be taught to the old woman to take care of them.
"Also."
Kong Yao glanced at the seven-seater off-road vehicle parked in the courtyard, and thought that he should return the car he borrowed. By the way, he could also ask his brother-in-law to send him to his brother's work unit. . Just go to work.
"so on!"
As they left, Deng Caihua stopped his youngest son.
"Erbai, when you go to the city later, stop by the Four Seasons Shopping Street and buy some condiments. I'll write it all down for you on paper."
Deng Caihua took out a piece of paper, which was densely written with seasoning.
"I don't know when the electricity will come. What if the frozen meat in the fridge breaks down? Now the weather is very hot, I will marinate it and make it into bacon or chili sauce. This material is durable."
As an elderly woman with life experiences, Deng Caihua had already begun to consider the worst plan if the circuit could not be restored in a short period of time.
It just so happened that some of the seasoning at home was up, so when I took my son away to the city, I happened to go to the Four Seasons Commercial Road, which was wholesale, and it's the most cost-effective to buy.the things he wants there.
The old woman marked the items she would buy, as well as the daily price of those items on paper, and she did not even intend to let the youngest son remember them, which was very easy.
Su Aobai looked at it for a while, and the herbs written on it contained salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, oyster sauce ...
It is all seasonings that are not easy to make on their own, while for seasonings such as dried chili peppers and Chinese thorn ash are not listed as they are grown in fields at home and in the back mountains.
This gave him a reason to buy the condiment.
Su Aobai nodded, stuffed the note into her pocket, promised her daughter that she would buy palm-sized Skittles for her and her brother, and left with her sister-in-law.
*****
On the way to the city, Kong Yao's expression became increasingly serious.
He asked Su Aobai to stop a few times on the road, and every time he got out of the car and asked the people on the street about the situation. There is no electricity or water supply, and that is not only the case in Tuanjie Village .Everything happened since last night.The same situation.
Kong Yao guessed that it was most likely that this matter had occurred throughout the city.
However, power outages were all over the city and there were no unheard of signals during Kong Yao's lifetime.
There was an inexplicable panic in his heart.
"Erbai, don't go to your brother's unit, let's go to the Four Seasons Commercial Road first."
Kong Yao tightened his seatbelt after getting in the car, and asked Su Aobai to sit in the driver's seat.
"I was a little confused, and I always felt that the water and power outages this time were not easy."
The street was full of small, privately owned shops selling a wide variety of goods, including condiments for Deng Caihua, vermicelli, grains and oil, among others, and all kinds of special dry goods from all over the world.This can be called the food road. At the same time, there are also several shops on this street that sell daily necessities and equipment.
The reason I chose this street was because it was full of shops run by small, private bosses. When paying, you can pay in cash or scan the boss QR code. Many supermarkets are different. The goods are also many, the seller cannot remember the price of each item at all, and the payment must be connected to the account. If there is a citywide power outage at the moment, I fear supermarkets will not be able to open unless they have a second diesel power generation system.
Kong Yao did not know what happened with the power outage and how long it would last, but he thought of a problem.
Today, people are used to mobile payments and rarely keep cash around them. When the electricity is not restored, they have no way to go to the bank or ATM to withdraw money. That is, once the rest of the phone's power is gone, they don't have a penny to buy things.
Kong Yao felt the power supply would recover after a while. Shocking accidents such as citywide power outages will cause enormous economic losses to government finances every second. How could the state allow this damage to continue to roil.
But at the same time, I fear a sudden power outage and loss of this signal are bad signs.
The Chinese had always thought of preparing, but Kong Yao always felt that it was better to keep supplies in order to feel comfortable.
He had to buy more stuff and put it in the house before the phone ran out. Rice, noodles, food, etc are available at home. Oils, salt, sauces, and vinegar are more durable, and don't worry about running out .You can buy more, as well as dried shrimp, seaweed, and other seafood that cannot be produced locally.
You can also store paper towels, sanitary napkins, and medicines! Calcium tablets, vitamins and the like are not harmful to the body, so buy them as well.
In Kong Yao's heart, he was more likely to panic because he was too panicked, but those were items that would be used in everyday life, and hoarding them would not cause waste, buy first and stock up.
When Su Aobai and his sister-in-law came to Shanghuo Street, there were not many people, obviously there were still some people who were as nervous as him.
Some of the bosses on the street also complained to each other about the power outage, but they were still operating as usual. Although some of the equipment to scan the code was no longer available, they all recalled the price of their items in their minds. But that doesn't stop them from doing business.
Kong Yao quickly rushed to the store with his brother-in-law and started making large purchases.
On the other hand, Su Yiqing, who worked in the unit, also started noticing the power outage and the loss of this huge signal.
