Li Dajuan tasted a piece of barbecue and felt it was really good, so she packed two portions of roast suckling pig on the spot and asked Kevin to send it to his girlfriend's family immediately.
The eldest grandson has been single and not getting married. No matter how hard she tried to persuade her, she was worried. Now that the second grandson has finally found a partner, she must hurry up.
The other copy was given to Village Chief Fan.
The other party gave their family a wax goose.
It can be regarded as courtesy.
"Get it, go and come back quickly!"
"Grandma, I'm going."
Kevin didn't care about eating, took the insulated lunch box and walked towards the door.
"Be careful on the road, don't fall."
Aunt Lisa gave a careful warning.
After this period of time together, her Mandarin became more and more fluent.
"I know, I will be careful."
In less than ten minutes, Kevin knocked on the door of Village Chief Fan’s house.
"Guodong? Are you looking for a girlfriend again?"
Village Chief Fan couldn't help but joked.
"Hehe..." Kevin nodded, and then took out a small lunch box from the thermos: "Uncle Fan, let me treat you to roast suckling pig."
"Huh? The food is good!"
Village Chief Fan was not polite and took it immediately.
"You eat slowly, I'm going up."
Kevin couldn't wait to rush to the second floor.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Kevin, why are you here? Have you eaten?"
It was Anna who opened the door.
Kevin nodded, and then flashed the thermos box in his hand: "My uncle made roast suckling pig, and grandma asked me to give you one to try. It's still hot. You should eat it while it's hot."
"Your grandma is so kind."
Anna took the lunch box from the other party.
Kevin followed and walked into the house. It was a three-bedroom house. Since there was no heating, at Paul's suggestion, Village Chief Fan helped to build a fireplace.
At this moment, Kelly and Oscar are sitting in front of the fireplace and warming up by the fire. It’s freezing outside and the family can’t go anywhere except staying at home and warming up by the fire.
"Kevin, hurry up and warm yourself by the fire."
When Kelly saw her boyfriend, she immediately walked over and pulled him to the fireplace.
Kevin asked casually: "Where's Uncle Paul?"
"My dad went to work at the village headquarters. Village Chief Fan helped him find a job yesterday. The monthly salary is not bad, more than 20,000 yuan. If you add subsidies, you can get almost 50,000 yuan."<
/p>
Kelly replied.
"Uncle Paul doesn't want to be an official employee anymore?"
Kevin was a little surprised.
Anna interjected: "I don't want to take the exam anymore. It's actually quite good to stay and work in the village. I can make no less money than outside. The key is that I can take care of my family."
"It seems so."
Kevin scratched his head.
"Oh, I don't know when I can go out to work. I'm almost going crazy at home."
Kelly suddenly complained.
Kevin quickly comforted him: "This heavy snow will not stop for a while. If you don't endure it, my mother said, it is estimated that you will not be able to go to work normally until after the new year.
Well, if you're bored, why not go back with me? Although my uncle's house doesn't have internet, it does have electricity. Let's play video games together."
"Can I come with you?"
Oscar immediately came over.
"Okay!"
"Yeah, let's set off now?"
Anna quickly stopped and said: "I don't even look at the time. If I want to go, I'll go tomorrow."
"Mom, is there a difference between day and night now?"
Oscar couldn't help complaining.
"If I say no, I won't. Don't disturb others' normal rest."
"Aunt Anna, it's okay!"
Kevin helped persuade.
"Kevin, please stop trying to persuade him. This is not our hometown of Ralston. No one will spoil him."
Anna spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
Kevin couldn't say anything else, so he could only obey the other party's arrangement and come back to pick up his girlfriend and Oscar tomorrow.
……
Time flies and it’s December.
The heavy snow that had been falling for seventeen days finally stopped.
However, the cessation of snow did not mean that the disaster was over. Within a few days, a super cold air mass quickly swept across the entire northern hemisphere from north to south.
Under the severe cold, even Shencheng Port, the first port in the East located at 30 degrees north latitude, was frozen.
It seems that the disaster has just reached its climax.
Since the snow stopped, Zhang Hao finally no longer had to clean the snow every day, and it was rare for him to sleep in.
At lunch time, the whole family sits together to eat.
In sharp contrast to the outside world, the old Zhang family has basically not been affected much. They use nuclear battery power, eat fresh vegetables grown at home, and drink water from the well. Their quality of life remains the same as before.
Zhang Jiayi gnawed on a mutton chop and couldn't help but sigh: "Our home is better. I don't even want to move out. Now there are power and water outages outside, and I have to make a fire to keep warm. It's really not a human life." "Then don't leave. The house will be more lively with you here." After speaking, Li Dajuan looked at her grandchildren and asked: "Big Pudding, little Pudding, do you two want your second aunt to stay?"
"I think." The twins nodded desperately.
"No way? Steven is not a live-in son-in-law, so why should he always stay at his parents' house?"
Zhang Jiayi shook her head helplessly.
She just said that, how could she take it seriously?
Steven smiled and said nothing.
He wouldn't mind becoming a son-in-law, but this is his brother-in-law's home after all, and it's not appropriate to stay here.
Zhang Chongxin waved his hand: "Then you can move back when the water and electricity are restored. Anyway, just make a few more trips when the distance between the two sides is ***."
"Don't know when I can call?"
Zhang Jiayi sighed.
"That will have to wait."
Zhang Hao sighed subconsciously.
In short, the closer to the urban area, the faster the power will be restored.
As for remote suburbs like Shawei Village, it is estimated that they will have to wait until next summer. Only after the snow melts will the repair progress be accelerated.
Moreover, even if the power is restored in the future, power rationing will become the norm, and everyone will have to adapt to this new rhythm of life.
Unless, like the old Zhang family, they provide their own power supply.
"When exactly do we have to wait?"
Zhang Jiayi frowned.
"You ask me, who am I asking?" Zhang Hao shook his head, "I guess it will be probably until May or June next year. If the snow doesn't melt for a day, the road will be blocked for a day, and it won't be repaired even if it wants to be repaired!"
"So long? I wonder how your third sister is doing?" Li Dajuan suddenly became worried.
"Mom, Third Sister is in the state capital, what could happen?"
Zhang Hao quickly comforted him.
"Oh, and your eldest sister's family, each one is more worrying than the other."
Li Dajuan now regrets even more. She should have brought the boss and his family here.
Zhou's mother then said worriedly: "It's the same with our little Fu, there's been no news for half a month."
During this power outage, all connections were cut off.
"Mom, don't worry. Both of them have stored a lot of food. They will definitely be able to survive for two or three years. Moreover, the supply and marketing cooperative will be opened soon, so basic daily necessities can still be guaranteed."
The supply and marketing cooperative originally planned to open at the end of last month.
However, due to the heavy snow, it had to be postponed for half a month.
"It would be great if it was really like this."
Mother Zhou patted her chest.
"My mother-in-law, don't worry. Xiaohao's words are absolutely correct. He said before that the heavy snow will last at least half a month. Doesn't this come true?"
Li Dajuan helped and comforted her.
In comparison, she worries less.
The eldest daughter and son-in-law are considered part of the system after all, and they are engaged in the hot medical industry, so their safety should be guaranteed.
Zhang Hao immediately promised: "Mom, when traffic resumes, if Xiaofu and the others are willing to move here, I will also give her a house."
After all, there is a difference between closeness and distance. It makes sense that the three sisters would be given a big villa, while the sister-in-law would be given an ordinary house of 100 square feet.
"You don't need to give it away, just borrow a down payment."
