The days went by.

We went to the supermarket a few times after that, there were more people in it than once, but the materials that could be bought were less and less at a time, and almost every time we went, we would see someone quarrel or even fight, at first it was the supermarket security guard who came forward to deal with it, and then when I went again, there were several policemen outside the supermarket who were heavily armed on duty, ready to subdue the troublemakers in the supermarket at any time.

I went to the nearby big * supermarket several times and saw Li Cheng, he seemed very busy, and he didn't have time to say anything to us, until one day he suddenly knocked on the door of our house, and after entering the door, he finally said "I am laid off". We learned that the big * supermarket in City D was officially closed in mid-December due to a shortage of goods.

And revealed some inside information, the supermarket could have lasted a few more days, but someone above pulled all the goods from the supermarket, so the supermarket would suddenly close. Other supermarkets saw that the big* supermarkets fell first, and they all followed suit and closed their doors.

I cursed in my heart, how can there be such a black sheep at all times. Ignoring the interests of the state, the masses, and the people, he specializes in those things that enrich his own pockets, and his behavior and moral character are extremely corrupt.

No matter how angry I am, I still can't stop this kind of thing from happening, and I can't stop the bad weather outside from worsening.

It's strange these days, it's not the next snow, it's a two-day break to give people a buffer time, these days in the sky of D City, there are large snowflakes falling constantly, and everywhere is white. The temperature dropped to more than minus 30 degrees.

The snow clearer was also out of sight near our neighborhood. Because the snow was falling too much and too quickly, the snow clearers kept working and could only sweep the main road out. But I don't think there's really any point in them doing this job now, this kind of weather, such low temperatures, there are no very special circumstances, who can go out on the streets, everyone is hiding at home and not going out.

On the night of December 22, after a night of heavy snow and hail, the power grid in City D finally could not support the power outage.

The next day, the heating also stopped because of the low temperature in many places, the house was out of electricity, and it was immediately as cold as an ice cellar, Jiang Ma went to turn on the faucet after getting up in the morning, and some water began to flow out of the faucet, she happily said that the water had not stopped, but before she was happy, the water in the water pipe was cut off, and there was no drop of water. Dad Jiang said that the water was stored in the water pipe in the building, so it was not frozen, and it was gone after it was released.

Early in the morning, I remembered the voices of neighbors asking each other in the corridor, "Xiao Lizi, is there a power outage in your house?" "Aunt Zhang, is the heating in your house still hot?" "Aunt Liu, do you still have tap water at home?"

After everyone confirmed that the situation at home was the same, they began to call the relevant departments such as the property, the power supply company and the water company, but most of the things they got were "Okay, we understand and record your situation, but our maintenance personnel have been outside to repair it, please wait at home with peace of mind, we will arrange it for you as soon as possible." Such an answer.

I picked up the phone to ask Qu's parents, Qu's mother and sisters, but the phone couldn't be used, Jiang Zhi said that it may be that yesterday's heavy snow broke the phone line, and the neighbors can call, it must be the mobile phone is still good, let me try the mobile phone.

I tried it, and it was really good, so I called Qu's parents, Qu's parents and sisters, and there were no problems with them, and there were a lot of materials stored at home, so I told them that if there was anything wrong and something missing, call me.

Then I called Ran Ran, Han Han and Wei Wei again, they were okay for the time being, I gave some charcoal from each family before, which should be able to support for a while. But I also told them, if you have difficulties, just tell me, you're welcome, my sister is a big money now. Before hanging up the phone, I said that if there is anything missing, come to my house to pick it up, if the conditions are too bad, don't bear it, come to my house, I eat, drink and have fun all the time.

After hanging up the phone, I felt a lot more relieved, and the people I was worried about are doing well now.

Jiang Zhi was also on the phone next to him, who was he calling, could it be Auntie? I waited for Jiang Zhi to hang up the phone, then stepped forward and asked, "Who are you calling?" ”

"Guess." Jiang Zhi put his arm around my shoulders and walked to the table together.

When we called, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother had already taken out the charcoal stove from the ring, lit it in the dining room, and took out some of the stored hot food from the ring and put it on the dining table.

As we entered the restaurant, I felt a rush of warmth, and I shivered, and the cold air in the gap between my sweaters was squeezed out, and I realized how cold it was at home just now. Looking at the millet porridge and buns on the table, and the side dishes were still steaming, I immediately felt that the hard work of the previous preparation was worth it.

I sat down at the table and said, "Is it for my aunt?" "I guess he should have called his aunt, Jiang Zhi is a cold-hearted person, and the common people say that he is alone. He didn't have many friends, but he never skimped on his enthusiasm if he thought the person could be a friend. But so far, he only has a few classmates who can talk, and he is a nodding friend with a colleague, let alone a friend, so I guess he has no friends to call, so he can only call his aunt.

"I also called my aunt, I told her that there are still some autumn vegetables in our cellar, let them go and eat them themselves, we may not be able to go back this year." Jiang Zhi sat down on the chair, put me in a bowl of millet porridge, and pushed it to me.

"Your aunt didn't say how they were there, did it snow?" Jiang's mother asked as soon as she heard that Jiang Zhi had just called her aunt.

"It's down, it's pretty big. There was a family in the village whose house was crushed by heavy snow at night, and no one in the family came out. The people in the village were a little scared when they saw this, and now they go up to the roof of the house every once in a while to clear the snow. My aunt and my brother-in-law have cleared our houses several times, saying that we don't have to worry, they are there to take care of them. Jiang Zhi said while eating breakfast.

"Well, I'll rest assured that I'll leave it to your aunt." Jiang's mother nodded reassuringly.

"It seems that your aunt's house has also been affected, but they should be stronger than us, at least when it's cold, they have firewood in their own house, but they can't freeze. Let's not do it, let's see, in two days, something will happen. Dad Jiang said with a sigh.

I listened to what Jiang's father and Jiang's mother said and nodded, but I didn't forget that Jiang Zhi said "also" when he answered just now, which means that he also called someone else.

I then asked Jiang Zhi, "Who else did you call?" ”

"Li Cheng, let me ask him how he is." When Jiang Zhi said this, he didn't forget to take care of his son, and gave Hanhan a chopstick of bean sprouts, and signaled Hanhan, who was frowning and pouting, to eat it.

"When did you get to know him so well?" I looked at my son's cute appearance, and while asking, I gave him a bean sprout with chopsticks in my bad heart.

"It's a friendship between men, you don't understand." Jiang Zhi said stinky fart seriously. "He lives alone now, and now in this weather, he must not be doing well, I asked him to come to live in our house, and he said that he would wait and see."

"There are so many secrets in our family, you can rest assured that he will live in our house." I am puzzled, Jiang Zhi has always been a very cautious person.

"It's okay, he's a trustworthy person."
