Liang Mingyue hugged her husband and took a nap. Seeing that her husband didn't get up to go to work, she said in surprise: "My dad, has the company closed down or something happened outside? Why didn't you go to work?"
Li Haorui said with a smile: "I thought it was a regional power outage, but I didn't expect that there was a power outage in the company. Everyone is too lazy to climb the stairs. It's so exhausting to climb up. I think I might as well take a vacation. I don't know when the call will come. You
Stop playing with your cell phone, or it may run out of battery."
Liang Mingyue got up quickly and opened the window. Seeing that the sign opposite was not lit, she said in surprise: "Is there a power outage in the whole city? No wonder it's so quiet outside and it's a bit scary. If you don't go out, just stay at home."
Wang Erma opened the refrigerator and frowned when she saw that the indicator light was not on, "Mom, the call hasn't come in yet. What's going on? Is the high-voltage line there broken? I haven't experienced a power outage yet."
Yang Hui looked at the time and said with a smile: "It's already half a morning and if there's no call, there's little chance of a call in the morning. Let's go to the store to sell candles. If there's no call at night, your flashlight will be out of power. It's strange that there's a power outage in the city."
Wang Erma said with a smile: "If there is no electricity, I will go back to my parents' house to recharge. I have a small generator at my parents' house."
Zhang Shan happily carried her schoolbag and said with a smile: "I'm really happy that the school is on holiday. It's great that there's no call yet. Why is there a power outage? It's really strange! I was looking forward to a power outage at school and suddenly there was a power outage. I was a little confused. Why are you not happy?"
"
Li Si looked at his friend and sighed, "Why are you happy? You didn't listen to the teacher who said that there was an unknown cause of the power outage and how to repair it. There is no electricity. You see, many schools and units are on holiday today. Most people are happy.
But there are still some people who seem to be in a bad mood. I guess the ones who are in a bad mood are the bosses, and those who are happy are the employees."
Zhang Shan felt a little awkward when she saw the signboards on the roadside were not lit up. "I'm not used to it without electricity. Electricity is such a great invention. Please call me now. I can't even watch the TV series anymore."
Jing Shijia watched the TV and still had no power and called his subordinates to ask, "What's going on? I didn't ask you to cut off the line downstairs of Liang Mingyue, why do I have no power here? Are you stupid?
The lines have also been cut."
The subordinate quickly shook his head, "Boss, I cut the lines downstairs of Liang Mingyue, but the cuts were in vain. Most of the city outside has a power outage."
Jingshijia nodded and said he understood. He thought it was strange that there was a power outage. Why did he secretly cut the wires?
Seeing that the switch was fine, Wang Beiluo scratched his hair in confusion, "Why hasn't the call come yet? The power was cut off yesterday, so it's strange that it hasn't come yet."
Li Yiyong said with a smile: "We also have a power outage there. I heard that most of the city has a power outage. I don't know why. All the old employees who repaired the circuits have gone. It's very difficult to check every one of them in City A, which is so big.
Take some time."
Gao Feng found the generator and installed it. "It's okay. There is a generator in the house. The boss is so thoughtful and has a generator ready."
Wang Beiluo looked at him and said with a smile: "It's a rare experience to have no power. Please connect the circuit. I don't believe there won't be a call at night."
Those who haven’t called to do business will have the city government’s civil dispute staff ringing up their mobile phones. They are all asking when they will call and waiting to open for business. What should I do if there is no power?
The government worker was also very anxious. His cell phone was almost out of battery, so it was useless to call him. He was only in charge of civil disputes and didn't know how to repair circuits.
Boss Zhang became amused when he saw that the supermarket opposite was not open, "Look at the advantages of a small store like yours and mine. I don't even need those currency detectors. I can open a store by collecting money manually without electricity."
Zhang Shan became happy when she saw her father's triumphant look, "Everyone won't come to buy flowers even if the power is out. They are all going to buy candles. Do you have any candles in my father's warehouse? We can sell them during the power outage."
Boss Zhang thought about it and laughed, "It's true. Just watch the store dad go get the candles. Selling candles at the door must be a good business."
Li Si took out his wallet and looked at the change, "I'm going to order a few candles first. I haven't used the candles yet. Do you think the candles can be used to roast food? Can grilled mushrooms be cooked?"
Zhang Shan thought about the heat of the candles and shook her head, "It's terrible. If you want to eat roasted mushrooms, go to Tianqiao to eat them. Let's go after I help my dad sell the candles. I want to eat Malatang."
Liang Mingyue opened the faucet and saw that there was water and was relieved. The induction cooker could not be used without electricity, so she took the kettle to Wang Erma's place to boil water with gas.
"How could there be a sudden power outage? My husband sent his employees home directly. Their company was so high that they were almost exhausted even after climbing up the building. I really miss the electricity when it is missing. My mobile phone is also turned off and I don't dare to play with it anymore."
Wang Erma looked at Liang Mingyue and said with a smile: "Who knows, by the way, my mother-in-law and I went out and bought some candles. You can take a few back and use them. You two can also have a candlelight dinner in the evening. You have some in the house."
As for gas, there is a gas tank where the rice is stored. I forgot about it. I will install it for you in a while and you can use it."
Yang Jing smiled and said: "This is my daughter-in-law's idol. She is so good-looking. Hold the candle. You see, I haven't received a call yet. I don't know when it will. Young people also need to be romantic occasionally.
It would be great to deepen the relationship.”
Liang Mingyue took the candle with a blushing face, carried boiling water and took Wang Erma back to the house, looking at the gas tank next to the rice bucket and giggling.
"I cook rice every day and neglect to mention that there is a gas tank here. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't know. I haven't used gas for a long time. Most people use electricity. I'm not used to it without electricity."
Wang Erma turned on the gas button and said, "It can be used. Remember to turn off the gas after you use it. The electricity won't go away forever. I saw someone on the way checking for maintenance. Just repair it."
Liang Mingyue looked at Gas Neng and thanked Wang Erma with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you. I'm stupid and don't know much. I need to learn more from you."
Wang Erma smiled and waved her hands, "Oh, I'm so embarrassed when the idol praises me. Now that I won't disturb your world, I will take my mother-in-law for a walk on the overpass."
Liang Mingyue closed the door and sat on the sofa and said with emotion: "Mother Wang is really a nice person. I trouble her by renting a house here. It's really an honor for me to be her idol."
Li Haorui closed his laptop, "The battery is out, save some money. It's you who work hard to make everyone like you. Stop being modest. Look how silly you look when you grin. Let's go to the overpass for lunch. We'll have breakfast."
I’m not full of instant noodles yet.”
Zhang Shan wiped the sweat from her forehead and bargaining with the aunts and uncles really exercised one's endurance.
"The aunt at the end is so awesome, I want to give you as a gift to her. I feel that whoever quarrels with her will definitely suffer. She is so reasonable that no one can find fault."
Li Si handed her the water, "Drink some water and have a rest. After the candles are sold out, let's go to the overpass to play. The overpass must be very lively."
When the power was out, citizens happily walked out of their homes and rushed to the food stalls to eat. They didn't know whether they were having breakfast or lunch.
Liang Mingyue looked at the crowd and frowned, "Let me take you on a detour. Why are there so many people? No one wants to cook and eat out. Seeing the snack stall owner happy, it is a good opportunity to make money when there is a power outage after the weekend.
, when he saw me, he also wanted to come out and set up a stall."
Li Haorui hugged her and said with a smile: "Don't be greedy for others, they earn hard-earned money. After dinner, buy some food and go back. I don't know when the call will come, and no one knows the exact time of the call."
Liang Mingyue saw Jing Shijia turning around and pulling her husband away, "I am really destined to be with Jing Shijia. I can meet him when we go out for lunch. Look at how happily he eats stinky tofu. He is such a hateful person.
Rat, let’s go over there and eat.”
Li Haorui didn't want Jing Shijia to disturb his good appetite for lunch. He looked at the stall selling dumplings and said with a smile: "Buy more and take them home to eat. I heard you can also use dumplings to make dumplings. Have you tried it?
?”
Liang Mingyue looked at him with a smile, "Both of your eyes say you want to eat dumplings and buns. I'm going to ask my second mother for advice. I ate them when I was a child and they tasted good. I forgot the specific taste."
When the call came in the afternoon, Liang Mingyue was helpless, "What's going on? A rat gnawed the switch. It's been a day of repairs and the power is still out. What are you busy with?"
Li Haorui called a well-informed friend and frowned when he heard that he didn't know when the call would come. Thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. A large-scale power outage was a bit abnormal.
"My well-informed friends don't know when the call will come. Just wait and it will come. My friend said that even after calling the city government, the phone was turned off. It is estimated that the battery has long been exhausted."
Liang Mingyue found the candle with a smile, "If you don't call, you won't call. I'll just give you a call. Look at the candle my second mother gave me. She is such a good landlord! Let's have a candlelight dinner!"
Li Haorui looked at the cooked instant noodles and said with a smile: "It's much richer than the ones in the morning. I'm very satisfied with the vegetables and egg balls. I'm also happy to have dinner with you and eat steamed buns."
Liang Mingyue was silly and amused for a while, "You are so cunning, you took the meatballs away while I was crazy. Hey, there are still some in the pot. The meatballs in the pot are all mine and I won't let you eat them."
Wang Erma watched her mother-in-law put the candle on the beer bottle and said with a smile: "This is convenient, Mom, you are really awesome! But where did the beer bottle come from? I don't drink."
Yang Jing said calmly, "How can I walk around the world without drinking beer? I drank so much that I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to smell the beer, so I hid the bottle under the bed. If the power goes out, I forget about it."
Wang Erma smiled and nodded, "It's good to know how to drink. Let's buy some beer and make beer duck tomorrow."
Jing Shijia watched his subordinates come to light candles one by one like graves, and waved them impatiently, "That's enough. It's not like lighting birthday candles one after another in the middle of the night. Is it scary? Do you want to know clearly? What's going on?
If there is a power outage and the power is not repaired immediately, the people will learn how to live."
The subordinate shook his head, "Boss, I couldn't get any useful information. I heard from the circuit repair staff that there are two main switches in our city, one of which controls the circuits of most of the city. It was designed by a famous scientist in the past.
It has been used for so many years and there has been no problem. The government thought it was useful and ignored it. After so many years, I have already forgotten where the main switch is. It will take time to investigate step by step."
Jing Shijia sat down on the sofa impatiently, "Times have changed and I don't know if they will be affected by the changes. Look how many people have been delayed from doing business. Even those in charge of electricity don't know who will know. There is nothing we can do if we wait."
.If you don’t get a call tomorrow morning, go buy a small generator and come back. It won’t work without electricity.” (To be continued)
