That night, the courtyard was lit up with the lights that had not been seen for a long time, and the air conditioners roared again.

However, due to time reasons, there is not much electricity stored during the day, and in order to save electricity, the alcohol stove has to temporarily "work overtime" for one night.

Generally speaking, each square kilowatt of Hanwa generates about 1 kilowatt per day, which is 1 kilowatt of electricity.

At the beginning, the area of Han tiles installed in the courtyard house added up to about 290 square meters.

After deducting the influence of charging and discharging and power conversion efficiency, this means that almost 220 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day can be used normally.

Of course, this is the most ideal state, and Yanjing cannot be sunny every day, and there is also a huge gap in power generation between summer and winter.

All in all, solar power generation is not a panacea, and electricity consumption can still be saved.

With electricity, the life of Xu Dong's family gradually returned to normal, except for the convenience store, which is still closed.

On February 23, at 10:15 a.m., the official Daxia finally announced to the people of the whole country through various channels:

The solar flare has ended, and large-scale post-disaster reconstruction efforts are about to begin across the country.

On February 25, the Yanjing Post-Disaster Reconstruction Committee officially disclosed to the public:

Due to the damage to power equipment far beyond expectations, the power in the capital region will be restored on the 5th of next month at the earliest.

When this "bad news" came, as expected, the entire Greater Capital Region was plunged into a state of complaint.

The original seven-day home life, coupled with three days of post-disaster statistics, is already the limit of what everyone can bear.

This "limit" is not only spiritual, but also material, which means that everyone's living materials are running out.

In fact, it is not that there is a shortage of living materials on the market, but that everyone is running out of money.

You heard it right, "no money" is literally no money, and everyone has no cash to use.

Last year, the penetration rate of electronic payment in Daxia exceeded 90% for the first time, and cash is rarely seen in ordinary life.

Now it's good, there is no electricity and no network, and the electronic payment is completely finished.

In fact, the inability to use electronic payment is not the worst.

The worst thing is that the money that everyone has in the bank can't be withdrawn, although this is only temporary.

The simple reason is that the power of the banks has not been restored either.

And not only electricity, but also various servers and systems in the bank need time to be re-architected.

Restoring a bank is no easier than restoring the power system.

So, it's a dead end.

Fortunately, the country's response was not slow, and soon a bailout package covering all citizens was officially released, and it was urgently passed by the National Assembly in the first place.

The time spent before and after was less than a day.

The content of this relief plan is very simple, that is, to give money to all citizens, regardless of property, age, skin color, as long as they have Daxia nationality or green card, everyone is 1,000 yuan.

The programme aims to alleviate the nation's cash crisis and support their day-to-day spending.

When the news came, the complaints instantly turned into joy.

Subsequently, the collection plan also came out:

In the case of a family, take the household registration booklet to the neighborhood office or village committee where the household registration is located to receive the relief money.

As for those who work or settle in other places, they can use their ID cards or household registration books as collateral, and they can also borrow the corresponding amount of relief funds.

In the final analysis, this move is to prevent "well-intentioned people" from repeatedly fraudulently claiming relief funds, after all, without the Internet, it is impossible to synchronize information.

……

On February 27, Yanjing officially opened to receive relief funds.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, more than an hour before the opening time, Xu's mother couldn't help but go out and line up with the new household registration book.

Xu Dong stopped and stopped, persuaded and persuaded, after all, there is nothing lacking at home, and it is the same to receive the money later, anyway, the bailout money will not grow wings and fly.

It's a pity that it's useless to say anything.

It is the first time in her life that Xu Ma has taken such a big advantage from the country, and besides, there are nine people in the family, this is not a small amount of money, it is better to settle down as soon as possible.

There was no way, Xu Dong finally resorted to a killer trick and proposed to replace his mother to queue up to receive the relief money.

That's it, Xu Ma didn't agree, according to her, she had to personally feel the benefits that only the people of "developed countries" have.

Xu Dong couldn't cry or laugh, and in the end he could only go with her, but he still sent a small bench halfway, after all, it is better to sit than to stand and suffer.

Xu Ma's side is completely chatting, after all, everyone is idle, and there is no mobile phone to play.

"Lao Zhang, seeing that you are smiling so beautifully, there must be a lot of people in the family, right?" An aunt surnamed Wu, who was about the same age as Xu's mother, quipped.

Xu Ma gestured to a nine, and said modestly: "Not much, not much, only nine people." ”

"That's not much, isn't your family separated?" Aunt Wu speculated.

"It's divided, it's been divided a long time ago, my wife and I are now supporting our younger son, and my eldest son and daughter's family are in Luyang." Mother Xu replied.

A young woman next to her had a quick mind and was immediately surprised: "Then didn't your little daughter-in-law give birth to five children in one go?" ”

"Yes, the third child in my family has two daughters and three sons." Mother Xu said complacently.

"Why do you give birth to so many?" Another interjected.

Xu's mother explained: "I didn't want to give birth to so much, but I didn't expect the first child to be twins, and then the second child was a triplet. ”

"Lao Zhang, your blessing is too great."

Aunt Wu said enviously that young people are reluctant to have children now.

This is the case in her family, she has been looking forward to only one granddaughter for many years, but her daughter-in-law said that she would not have any more children.

Xu Ma had to be "modest" again:

"It's not good to have too many children, not to mention worrying about taking care of them, and the burden will be heavy in the future, I can't afford to buy a house, and I can't even marry a daughter-in-law, I'm dying of sorrow."

As soon as the words fell, the proprietress of a local restaurant immediately debunked Xu's mother's "lie":

"Hundreds of millions of yuan of courtyard houses are lived, and I'm afraid that my grandchildren won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law! It just so happens that I have a three-year-old daughter at home, if you don't dislike it, you can be Dabao's daughter-in-law, right? ”

"Wow!" Aunt Wu was taken aback, and then teased: "Lao Zhang, I didn't expect you to be an old rich woman?" ”

Mother Xu directly "puffed", "What a bullshit rich woman, our house is worth a lot, and the savings are definitely not as much as yours." ”

"How do you know how much money you have?" Someone coaxed.

"Yes, let's talk about it, let's open the eyes of poor ghosts."

Mother Xu couldn't resist it, and hurriedly "begged for mercy", and everyone laughed even happier, which shifted the topic to other aspects.

……

The queue lasted for several hours, and Xu Dong delivered lunch again at noon, and it was not until more than two o'clock in the afternoon that Xu's mother finally received a relief fund of 9,000 yuan.
