Chapter Twenty-Eight: Abnormal Weather
Since the convenience store closed, Dad Xu felt like he had lost his soul, he couldn't do anything, and he was in a daze from time to time.
Seeing this, Xu Dong hurriedly found a few good pieces of wood and a full set of carpenter's tools, and asked the old man to make some small stools and chairs for his grandchildren.
Dad Xu did carpentry work for a few days, and then he came to his senses and had more smiles on his face.
……
On March 7, the water and electricity supply to the street where the courtyard house is located was restored almost simultaneously, and the water truck, which had appeared for a few days, disappeared again.
As for the network, it is estimated that it will take a while longer.
On March 12, the major colleges and universities in Yanjing announced the opening of schools one after another, and the Coco sisters finally went to school with their schoolbags on their backs after nearly three months of crazy play.
The courtyard was a lot quieter all of a sudden.
Early the next morning, the square dance troupe on Xu's mother's side was about to hold a tea party, and Wang Xiujuan came to inform her in person.
After all, everyone has been busy during this time, and they haven't gotten together for two or three months, so this time I'll discuss the resumption of square dancing by the way.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ma went out with Yang Lina, Xu Ma was holding Dabao in her arms, and Yang Lina was holding Erbao in her arms.
Yang Lina was forcibly pulled out by Xu's mother this time, and Xu's mother saw that her daughter-in-law always stayed at home and didn't go out, so she wanted to take her and let her integrate into this neighborhood as soon as possible.
The Camellia Party was held at the senior event center of the Champs family community next door, and when Mama Xu arrived, it was almost seated inside.
The noisy chatting at the scene gave Yang Lina the illusion of returning to school.
Wang Xiujuan stepped forward to greet her in person, after all, because of the milk powder, she still owes people favors!
"Lao Zhang, you're here! Hey, Nana is here too, if I remember correctly, it's your first time with us, right? ”
Mother Xu nodded and said, "But they are in school, there is nothing to do at home, I will take her out to breathe." ”
"Hello Aunt Wang!" Yang Lina said hello.
"Welcome, welcome, I will come and play often in the future!"
"Definitely." Yang Lina said politely.
Wang Xiujuan quickly focused on the child, "I haven't seen you for a while, the children have grown so big, is this a big treasure?" ”
"No, this is the second treasure, and the one my mother is holding in her arms is the big treasure." Yang Lina corrected.
"Why don't you bring Xiaobao out with you?"
Xu's mother explained: "Xiaobao had a cold some time ago, but it was too hot outside, so I didn't take him out." ”
"It's true that the temperature has been very strange lately, it's hot to death during the day, but it's cold to death at night, and many people have caught a cold." Wang Xiujuan echoed.
"Not really!" Xu's mother sighed: "My house now turns on the air conditioner during the day and the heating at night, and I have never seen this kind of strange thing for most of my life." ”
"I've heard people say that this is the climate in NSW. Okay, without further ado, I'll have to call the others here, and you can find your own place to sit casually. ”
Wang Xiujuan left after speaking, after all, as the head of the dance troupe and the initiator of the tea party, there were too many trivial matters.
Xu Ma took Yang Lina and directly found three dance friends who usually have a good relationship, and the square dance troupe is naturally divided into various small circles.
"Lao Zhang, sit here, this is your little daughter-in-law, right?"
"That's right!"
Mother Xu then introduced several people to Yang Lina separately, Aunt Sun was wearing yellow clothes, Aunt Liu was wearing glasses, and finally Aunt Qian was wearing a printed top.
The group teased the children, then chatted about family routines, and soon talked about the abnormal weather.
"Did you hear that? This time, the weather anomaly was caused by the previous solar flare. Aunt Qian said mysteriously.
"Where did you hear that?"
Xu Ma expressed her suspicions, the world is not peaceful now, and gossip is flying all over the sky, but today's climate is indeed too abnormal.
"It's true, my niece-in-law teaches geography at the university, and according to him, it seems that some atmosphere has been destroyed, and the earth is about to end the world."
"Phew... What nonsense, it's the end of the world, why don't you say that the earth is about to explode? ”
Mother Xu looked disdainful, there are several children in the family, and the good days have just begun, so she can't listen to this kind of words.
Hearing this, Aunt Sun couldn't bear it anymore and joined the discussion:
"I've heard that it's a solar flare that brings some kind of mysterious power, and the earth will soon have a revival of aura......"
Yang Lina couldn't help but "poof" and teased: "Aunt Liu, your grandson told you this, he has read too many novels." ”
Aunt Liu smiled:
"I said, why is this little rabbit's eyes always red lately, it turns out that he stayed up late to read novels, see how I clean him up when I go back."
At this time, Aunt Sun also spoke, with a solemn face: "This time the climate is abnormal, don't do anything wrong, something big is going to happen anyway." ”
"How?" Mother Xu hurriedly asked.
Aunt Sun subconsciously looked around, and then said in a low voice:
"I have a relative who is the director of the grain depot, and according to him, the top has been strictly inspecting the grain depot across the country recently, and it is also necessary to track all the records of the grain depot in the past month."
After a few people digested the news, Aunt Sun continued to analyze: "Think about it, if there is no big event happening, is it necessary to engage in such a big battle above?" ”
Several people at the same table finally panicked a little now, including Yang Lina.
"Think about it again, since the Chinese New Year, there has been a rain in Yanjing?"
"Yanjing has less rain in winter, what's so strange about this?" Aunt Liu, as an old Yanjing native, has the most right to speak.
Aunt Sun glanced at the other party and asked, "It's only March now, and the temperature is about to break through 30 degrees today, how do you say this?" ”
"This ......"
Aunt Liu was speechless, she had been in Yanjing for most of her life, and she had really encountered this kind of ghost weather.
Mother Xu was anxious and said nervously: "Is it really the end of the world?" ”
Aunt Sun shook her head, "That's not true, but this year's situation will definitely not be good, either a big flood or a big drought, so it's better for everyone to stock up on more food." ”
Mother Xu sighed lightly, fortunately, her own store was opened, and although the convenience store was temporarily closed, there was still a lot of rice left.
"Lao Zhang, I remember that your family runs a convenience store, do you still have rice for sale there?" Aunt Sun asked as if unintentionally.
Recently, the big supermarkets in the urban area have been restricting purchases, and it is basically impossible to buy rice in whole bags as before.
"There's still some rice, and if you want it, I'll get you two bags?"
Although reluctant, after all, they are all acquaintances, and Xu's mother is not easy to refuse.
"That's a good feeling, I'll go to your house to get it when I get back."
Aunt Sun smiled with satisfaction, and it was not in vain that she spent so much time talking, and her goal was finally achieved.
Aunt Liu immediately reacted: "Lao Zhang, leave me two bags too?" ”
Aunt Qian naturally had the same request.
Mother Xu paid more attention, "Okay, two bags per person, there is no more." ”
Seeing the puzzled eyes of the three people, Mother Xu explained: "I won't hide it from you, my convenience store happened to be issued a rectification notice by the Health Bureau some time ago, and it has been closed, and there is not much rice in the store now." ”
"Ahh Is there anything else going on? ”
"I didn't want to talk about it, it's all ugly, and the hygiene in the store is not good."
Mother Xu then told her about the dead rat in detail.
"It's not because my peers saw that your family's business was good and deliberately framed you."
"Bad luck!"
"Be careful next time!"
