Chapter 4: 58°C, Go Home

"In other words, the current labor is too expensive, the heat insulation pad only costs 10,000 yuan, but the labor costs 8,000, and the card almost bursts for me."

Duan Ang recounted heartbrokenly.

Nowadays, the hot weather continues to occur, and even the work has been changed to a night shift system, so you can imagine how much trouble it has caused to life.

If you don't install a thermal insulation pad, it means that all your neighbors in your house are turning on the floor heating to radiate you, to put it mildly, the situation is comparable to that of a crematorium.

If it weren't for the fact that his financial situation was indeed a little stretched, he would not have stayed up until now to order a heat insulation pad.

Zhou Ping said: "It's more expensive, but the effect is good, after adding a heat insulation pad, you can supply the living room and bedroom with a small air conditioner." ”

Duan Ang nodded, it is indeed the case, otherwise at this juncture when the child is frequently sick, he really can't afford to spend so much money on this thing.

Life with children is like this, how carefree the world of the two was in the past, how difficult it is now.

Looking at the children who are not big, spending money is like running water, and they can't control it.

I had known that the weather would become like this in just two or three years, and he and his wife would not be alive after beating them to death.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ping spoke again: "Look at this situation, it is a matter of time before there is a problem with the power supply, I just ordered a solar battery for backup, and you can buy one just in case." ”

"How much?"

"More than 20,000, you can bargain."

“!”

Duan Ang almost exclaimed.

It's too expensive! It's ridiculously expensive! It's amazingly expensive!

Just kill him and use it as fuel for that factory, he can't afford such a high price!

Zhou Ping naturally saw his embarrassment, and said with relief: "I'll help you brush it." ”

"Don't."

Duan Ang refused without thinking, "Brother, you have already helped me too much." Battery...... If you buy it again next month, you can't suffocate your urine. ”

"Let's go, let's go, it's noisy and hot, and I feel more painful than a sauna."

Afraid that Zhou Ping would persuade him again, Duan Ang hurriedly pushed him in the direction of the elevator, Zhou Ping thought about it, so he didn't insist anymore.

After experiencing the sweltering elevator and the terrifying basement, the two carried their things to the car, blew the air conditioner for a full twenty minutes, and poured two bottles of mineral water before they felt alive.

After a while, the black seven-seater Buick slowly drove out of the parking lot.

The city's streetscape and neon lights are back in the early morning and at night, and the streets are busier than ever, but the biggest difference from previous years is that there are no more vendors walking the streets.

Even the barbecue stalls on Binjiang Road are gone, and the open-air snack street in the commercial street has disappeared and is completely extinct.

It is estimated that children born in this generation can hardly imagine the scene of the streets full of shouting, and these memories will also become the past that the previous generation will feel nostalgic for.

It's like a kind of fault line in customs and culture, and it's changing rapidly, so fast that it's scary, shocking, and gone.

When Zhou Ping was young, he grew up wrapped in yellow mud.

Zhou Ping's son's generation, although mixed with a large number of electronic devices, is still an important part of his childhood;

But when it comes to the grandchildren's generation, the day is night, the night is day, I don't know what school is, learning is a tablet, the teacher is a video, going out is brightly lit, and falling asleep is the scorching sun.

The child grows up in a tightly wrapped commercial house, a real "flower in a greenhouse", and in his world, human beings are no longer real human beings.

Because the ancestors of mankind worked at sunrise and rested at sunset; Face the loess with your back to the sky. But what about this generation? They face the slab with their backs to the heat shields, go out at night and sleep during the day, like the legendary vampires, are they still human?

Not only that, but the number of motorcycles, electric cars, and bicycles on the streets is also decreasing year by year.

A two-seater sedan with air conditioning for less than 20,000 yuan seems to be more worth buying.

"Brother, just go to the subway entrance in front."

"The subway is too crowded, I'll send you back."

"Thank you then, I'm sorry for the trouble."

Duan Ang scratched his head embarrassedly.

At 11:47 a.m., after sending Duan Ang back, even though it was late at night, the basement was still like a stove.

Carrying large bags and small bags, as soon as I arrived at the door, the door opened.

One tall and one short, two children plus a big border dog, the three guys rushed out and rubbed against Zhou Ping's body.

Helplessly, Zhou Ping was sweating too much, and he couldn't hold the child and dog at first sight, so he had to refuse: "It's too hot, I'll take a bath first." ”

"Uh-huh, dad go quickly, we'll prepare a summer soup for you."

"Dad, you're black again!"

"Wang~Wang~"

Bian Mu excitedly pounced on Zhou Ping's body, and was ruthlessly taught a lesson by his daughter Zhou Rui:

"Mumu, don't do this! Daddy's hot, don't pounce on him. ”

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhou Ping slipped to the bathroom, and Bian Mu hurriedly chased after him, lying on the door and kissing constantly, his tail wagging and flying, obviously very happy that Zhou Ping came back.

Zhou Rui sighed helplessly, turned his head, and saw that his brother couldn't wait to open the pile of things that Zhou Ping had bought.

Zhou Rui crossed her waist and said tirelessly: "Brother, don't be so anxious, it's yours sooner or later." Now, you should put all the dishes in the corresponding refrigerator, and Mumu's dog food is also put away. ”

"Got it."

Zhou Qi is very helpless~

It's strange to say, my sister is only seven years old, but she always gives orders to him, but this can't be helped, the old father is not at home all the year round, and it is natural for him as an elder brother to let his sister a little more and take care of her more.

After putting everything away, Bian Mu was still wagging his tail outside the bathroom, and Zhou Qi finally opened the skates he had missed for a long time!

Zhou Rui also found the Baofeng walkie-talkie and shouted excitedly: "I have a radio!" ”

Her eyes were shining, and after turning on the phone, she adjusted to the channel she had agreed with her friends, and soon the code was matched!

It's just that the sound insulation in the residential building is too loud, and there is only intermittent noise, and nothing can be heard.

You still have to go to a spacious place!

Zhou Rui sighed faintly.

Zhou Qi was very puzzled when he saw this: "Why do you want to use a walkie-talkie?" Can't the phone solve your problem, friend Rui. ”

"You don't understand. If I had an antenna, I could talk to a satellite! ”

In addition, the radio also has an emergency communication function, and it can also contact the outside world in the event of natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes.

Mobile phones don't have this function.

"So awesome?"

Zhou Qi was shocked and talked to the satellite, this is also too cool!

"What about the space station? Is it okay too? ”

"Theoretically, it is possible, but it requires more powerful equipment and more specialized technology."

“!!!”

Zhou Qi was excited, "Then ask Dad to buy you an antenna, we can talk to the satellite first." ”
