Although the power and gas are out now, life still has to go on. We don't dare to use air conditioners now, so we can only use charcoal stoves for heating.

This is also very good, we often add a grate on the charcoal stove, put a few sweet potatoes or something, charcoal grilled their skin is charred black, from the cracks to the outside of the syrup, after breaking the yellow-orange-orange orange pulp, taste hot and sweet soft taste. Let me eat one and think about two, and I'll be full just by eating sweet potatoes.

Later, Jiang Zhi refused, saying that sweet potatoes can only be eaten as snacks and cannot affect the main meal.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother are very bored at home now, and they can't go out in this kind of weather, so they can only stay at home, Jiang Zhi looks at them going around in this house, and they are going around in that house, they really have nothing to do. I took out the battery from the ring, connected it to the TV and DVD player, and showed them movies and TV series, of course, at a certain time, which was the included cartoon time.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother took out two thick quilts from the bedroom and put them on the sofa, covering their bodies to keep warm, and put the charcoal stove in the living room next to the sofa, and then turned off the sound of the TV, afraid that the people upstairs and downstairs would hear it, and the birds quietly watched TV and secretly had fun, and the sitting position was warm and comfortable, and they adapted very well.

The elderly can't watch more TV.,I also suggested that the appropriate ones can pick up Qu's father and mother.,The four of them got together at a table to play mahjong.。 This proposal was approved by Jiang's father and Jiang's mother.

However, there are also some problems that are difficult to solve.

On the second day of the power outage, Hanhan suddenly shouted in the toilet in the morning, "Mom, it's not good, come on." ”

We heard the shouts of our baby son, and hurriedly rushed to the toilet, including in the toilet, without mentioning his pants, walking the bird and pointing to the toilet and saying, "Mom, it's not good." ”

I first went up to put my son's pants on, and not all parts of the house were warm, and the temperature in the kitchen and toilet was much lower than in the living room.

Jiang Zhi stepped forward to check the broken toilet that Han Han said, studied it for a long time, and finally knew what the problem was.

The toilet is not broken, but it is not in the water, and the sewer pipe should be blocked. Jiang's mother went to ask, and it turned out that the sewer pipe leading to the outside on the first floor was also frozen.

"What should I do, how will I go to the toilet in the future?" I asked with a sad face, we were storing water and cooking before, but I didn't expect the sewer pipe to be frozen.

This is a very serious problem, and if it is not solved well, it will directly affect our quality of life.

Dad Jiang replied to me: "There's nothing to do, when we used to be young, how could we have a toilet, didn't we always put a toilet at night, let's do the same now." ”

"Doesn't it smell like it smells in the toilet?" I'm worried about these useless things again.

"It's okay, cover the lid when you're done with it, it definitely doesn't taste much every day." Jiang's mother comforted me.

In fact, I also know that even if it tastes big, I can't help it, I just want to hear everyone's comfort.

Who goes to pour it every day? I thought to myself, I didn't dare to ask.

Dad Jiang took the initiative to undertake this glorious and arduous task, "I will clean up the toilet every day in the future, you don't have to worry about it, hey~hey~, I didn't expect that it has been 50 years, and I will return to my old business." ”

After that, our family made a homemade toilet, found a bucket about the size of a toilet, removed the cushion and lid of the toilet, and installed it on the toilet, which was comfortable to sit on and prevented the spread of smell. Dad Jiang really went out to empty the toilet at 6 o'clock in the morning every day. At first, Jiang Zhi didn't let Jiang's father go, Jiang Zhi said he would go, but he was strictly ordered by Jiang's father to stop him. But I saw Jiang Zhi give the storage bag used to hold garbage at home to Jiang's father, what's going on?

Later, Jiang Zhi accompanied Jiang's father to go out to pour the toilet in the morning every day, and when he came back, he used a large bucket full of honest snow to fill it, boiled it and cooled it, and then took a bath and laundry for his family. Stored ice cubes are melted and used for cooking. Everyone drank the water from the creek that we took out of the space.

When we solved all the problems in our house for the time being, roasted sweet potatoes around the charcoal stove to eat, and nestled into the warm quilt to watch TV, the outside world had already begun to mess up.

The snow was so heavy that the roads were impassable, and many people were trapped at home.

It's too cold, there is no heating in the house, people can still huddle in quilts, there is no water, people can eat snow to quench their thirst, there is no natural gas, but people can't eat raw rice and white noodles.

In addition, this cold weather, difficult environment, weak people can not persevere, many elderly people and children are sick, in this case, people can not be sent to the hospital without heating and medicine. So some people go out to find combustible and heat-generating items, coal and charcoal don't think about it now, there is no place to buy, even if there is a place to buy it, the current traffic situation can't go, so now the first choice is of course trees.

In recent years, City D has paid close attention to the greening of the city, and basically a lot of trees have been planted on both sides of the road in front of and behind the buildings in each building area.

Many people started the idea of these trees, and at first, they still secretly went out at night to cut branches, but after a few days, some people blatantly cut down trees with axes during the day.

With the first person, there will be a second, and then there will be an infinite number of them.

Dad Jiang looked out the window and saw these people cutting trees in the snow during the day and said, "It's not right for these people to cut trees like this." ”

Jiang's mother was upset when she heard this, "What's wrong, people will freeze to death and starve to death, and if you don't cut down trees, you won't be able to live." ”

"It's not that people can't cut it, if you need firewood, just cut the branches, and you have to give the tree a way out. Think about it, if everyone had cut down the trees this year, and if it was still so cold next winter, they wouldn't have cut down any trees, what would they have done then? "Dad Jiang thinks that as long as the tree does not die, it will sprout and grow in the spring of the next year, so it can be used continuously, and if the tree is uprooted at once, then this is a hammer deal.

"Hey, now people are in a hurry, the family is cold and hungry, so they want to cut down more trees and store them at home, who can think of anything that will continue to be used or not." Jiang's mother listened to Jiang's father's words, and also sighed at the hardships of people's lives now.

"When the weather is better, as long as the road can be walked, we will go back to Tashan Village, and this city will not be able to live in the future." After Jiang Zhi listened to what they said, he also said his thoughts.

I also whispered next to me: "Yes, the weather next year will only be worse than now, if there are no trees to warm the city, there is no food to feed the stomach, what will become of people at that time?" ”

After I finished speaking, there was silence in the living room.

No matter how much we worry about next year, this year people are desperate for trees, and some people are fighting and kicking each other for the ownership of the tree, and finally their heads are bleeding. Even that didn't stop people from being obsessed with cutting trees.

Within a few days, the trees in the building area were cut down by the residents, and some people saw that there were no trees in the building area, so they walked out of the community and went further away to look for them.

People have temporarily solved the heating problem, but the food problem has come out again, and some families do not have much food in stock, and they have consumed all the food at home if they can't get in and out these days.

People also try to go out to buy food, but now there is no store in the entire D city that is open for business, even some inventory, all of which are kept for their own use, how can they still be sold, money is important or life is important? So now in D City, money is no longer good, and money can no longer buy goods.
