Dad Xu was still hesitating, but Dad Xu made a decision directly for him: "Old man, Dongzi is right, the convenience store will not open for the time being." ”

"But there are still some fresh food in the store that have not been sold, and I am afraid that they will be spoiled." Dad Xu is embarrassed.

"It's easy." Xu Dong interjected, "Dad, let's go to the store now and move all these things back, there are still three empty tanks in the yard, and those that can't be eaten can be made into pickles." ”

Mother Xu immediately agreed: "That's it." ”

Just do it, Xu Dong took the key and walked towards the garage, and Xu's father reluctantly followed.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, Xu Dong suddenly found that an aurora appeared in the sky.

The curtain is gently swaying, and the ambilight is colorful...

The reason why these auroras appear is 100% related to solar flares.

It's just that I didn't expect the aurora to appear on the first day of Yanjing, maybe it's because of the high latitude.

In the previous life in Luyang, the aurora appeared two days later, and then went all the way south to the ends of the earth.

"Coco, Lele, come out and see the aurora." Xu Dong hurriedly greeted.

The whole family ran out, and even the triplets were brought out.

"This is the aurora, it's so romantic!" Yang Lina's eyes almost lit up.

"Wow, that's beautiful." Coco clapped her little hands and cheered.

Looking at the lanterns in the first half of the night and the aurora in the second half of the night, the little one feels that today is simply a lucky day.

"It's really weird and pretty!"

It was the first time in their lives that everyone saw the aurora, and they were more or less shocked.

After accompanying his family to enjoy the aurora for about ten minutes, Xu Dong and Xu's father still set off.

There are many more traffic police on the streets, and some sections of the road have even been closed.

In addition, almost all of the façade screens are broadcasting the news, and the presenter is repeating the emergency newsletter, over and over again.

There were many more people who came out to buy things overnight than expected, and some impatient customers who waited for the store door slammed the door of the store.

When I came to my convenience store, there were already several customers gathered at the door.

As soon as everyone saw Dad Xu get out of the car, they hurriedly surrounded him.

A young man was moved: "Uncle Xu, you came too timely, I was still hesitating just now, whether to try my luck elsewhere." ”

Here, Xu's father had just finished greeting the old customers, and the door of the convenience store over there had been opened.

Xu Dong shouted: "Hurry in, we are only open for half an hour." ”

Several customers rushed in, picked up their shopping baskets and rushed straight to the shelves.

It's like this, and everyone doesn't care what the price is, they take what they need when they see it, and they don't have mercy.

Dad Xu walked back and forth in the store, mainly worried that someone would take advantage of the chaos to steal things; Xu Dong is the incarnation of a porter, immersed in hard work.

Ten minutes later, customers checked out and left one after another.

Xu Dong observed that there were basically ready-to-eat foods such as instant noodles, biscuits and bread, as well as boxes and boxes of mineral water.

Dad Xu's skin is still not thick enough, and he never mentioned the price increase.

Half an hour later, the door of the convenience store was closed again and a "temporarily closed" notice was posted.

Xu Dong started the truck again and took away all the fresh goods in the store.

When he returned home, Xu Dong did not help Xu's father unload the goods for the first time, but discharged the batteries of the two cars.

In his previous life, he did not discharge the car's battery in time, which led to the almost scrapping of the entire car's electronic control system.

……

After unloading the goods, Xu's mother immediately made a video call to her daughter Xu Ting, and she didn't get through a few times just now, but this time she was quickly connected.

"Mom, I was about to call you too, how are you doing over there?"

Xu Ting should be outside at this time, and the camera is a little shaky.

"Everything is fine, the food at home is well prepared, and Dabao is not short of milk powder."

After Xu's mother finished speaking, she leaned close to the phone screen and wanted to see where her daughter was, "Where are you, why is Ma Jie not with you?" ”

Afraid that Xu's mother would be worried, Xu Ting flipped her mobile phone, pointed the camera at the door signboard on the side, and explained:

"At the door of the supermarket in the community, I just received a notice that the whole country is going to cut off water and electricity, and everyone is in a hurry to come out to buy things, and now the street is more lively than during the day.

Ma Jie drove to RT-Mart, and the small supermarkets in the neighborhood were almost sold out, and he couldn't buy anything at all. ”

"What about Lingling and Ma Xu?"

"What about receiving water at home, the big and small basins are full, and I don't know how many days it will stop?" Xu Ting complained.

Dad Xu interjected: "Your brother said that it would stop for about a week." ”

"Ahem......"

Xu Dong hurriedly came out and corrected:

"I'm talking about flares that last for a week, and as for water and power outages, I don't think a month is going to be better.

This time the flare was large and destructive, and it was not easy to recover. ”

Xu Dong deliberately exaggerated the recovery time, just to let the old lady's family stock up on more supplies and make more preparations.

In fact, Luyang City is also the capital of a state, according to the experience of the previous life, in less than half a month, the urban water, electricity and gas have been restored.

"So serious?" Xu Ting was surprised.

"I just watched the news on the Internet, and it is so serious in Europe and the United States that even experts have said that it will take at least 20 years to restore the entire power grid."

Although the news is fake, the expert's words are true, this is a report that Xu Dong read in the newspaper in his previous life.

Even Xu's father was shocked, "The country has cut off the power in advance, and it can't be avoided?" ”

Xu Dong once again incarnated as the Great Prophecy Emperor:

"Didn't you say it, the scale of this flare is unprecedented, anyway, the larger the electrical equipment, the more likely it is to be damaged, and the power outage is just to reduce the degree of damage, not once and for all."

"What's the reasoning?"

"I'm not an expert, and I don't understand the specific principle, it seems that there are some charged particles, which are charged themselves, anyway, scientists in Europe and the United States say so."

In the video, Xu Ting's face suddenly became heavy, obviously believing her brother's "nonsense".

Xu Dong took the opportunity to suggest:

"Sister, you ask your brother-in-law to buy more rice, buy big bags, ten bags and eight bags are not too much, it's better to stock up on a few thousand catties.

There are also Jinhua ham and air-dried chicken you brought back, don't give them away, you can keep them for yourself and make a dish. ”

"I know, I'll call your brother-in-law later." Xu Ting solemnly agreed.

Mother Xu said a few more words here, and then hung up the phone, and then, at least half a month can no longer be contacted.

Immediately afterwards, Xu's mother called her eldest son's family again, this time Xu Dong did not show up, and the content of the call was similar to what she had just done.

In a word, it is to stock up on more food, and it won't cost a few dollars anyway, so be prepared.

When the time came to 3:15, the air defense siren, which had been sounding for more than an hour, finally stopped, and the whole world was silent.

Yang Lina hurriedly arranged for the Coco sisters to go to sleep, and their sleepy eyes were almost unable to open.

Xu Dong didn't feel sleepy at all at this time, and was making final preparations for the next big power outage.
