Chapter 74: The Rain Stops!
Following.
While everyone was still asleep, the dark clouds quietly dispersed.
Lin Wanqiao was dazed in her sleep and felt that her surroundings were surprisingly quiet, so quiet that even the sound of small flying insects flapping their wings on the window edge could be heard clearly.
She woke up from her dream, got up and went to lift the curtains.
The morning light is faint, and the sun rises in the east.
The golden glow of the morning sun covered the entire sky, gilding all the buildings with a warm halo.
Occasionally, a breeze of early summer blows, causing the crystal clear raindrops hanging on the eaves to be driven by the wind, and they rush to fall into the water, causing a circle of ripples.
The rain has stopped!
After almost three months of rain, the rain has finally stopped!
The water mark stopped on the 4th floor.
Lin Wanqiao glanced at the clock, it was only 6 o'clock in the morning. Since I'm already awake, I simply don't sleep.
She changed her clothes and pushed open the door to go to the bathroom to wash.
Everyone else hadn't woken up yet, and the room was quiet.
I haven't cooked for a long time, and I suddenly want to eat preserved egg and lean porridge.
After checking the battery level, there is still 20%, which should be enough to cook a meal.
Lin Wanqiao went to the kitchen, put on an apron, and began to make breakfast.
First, wash the rice, soak it in water and set aside. Then the side dishes are processed, mincing the shallots, ginger, wild boar meat, and dicing the preserved eggs. Turn on the induction cooker, stir-fry the pork with green onions, ginger and garlic until fragrant, and pour cold water into the pot. When the water is boiling, pour in the rice, cover and cook for 30 minutes.
She was busy in the kitchen, and her family was getting up one after another.
Smelling the aroma from the kitchen, and seeing Lin Wanqiao actually getting up early in the morning to make breakfast, Liu Jian'an and the others felt incredible, so that several people didn't notice that the rain outside had stopped.
"Grandpa, grandma, the porridge is cooked, let's eat it together." Lin Wanqiao greeted.
She poured the preserved eggs into the pot, finally added salt and white pepper, poured sesame oil, stirred evenly, and removed from the pot.
"It smells so good!" Shen Shaoyu also rubbed his eyes and walked into the living room.
"Ayu, you also get up, let's have breakfast together, Qiao Qiao made it himself~" Yang Yujun winked at Shen Shaoyu and gave him a look that you understand.
Lin Wanqiao came out with a bowl of one by one, and even the dog had a share.
The hot porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork was so hot that the dog's tongue curled, but he couldn't help but continue to lick it.
The family sat neatly at the dining table, drinking the porridge in the bowl, and the small pickled dried radish at home, not to mention how beautiful it was.
At this time, there was a commotion outside, and it seemed that many people were shouting.
"What happened to these people?" Yang Yujun craned his neck and looked out the window.
Lin Wanqiao drank her porridge calmly, and the old god was spitting out: "Maybe it's because the rain has stopped." ”
"What? The rain has stopped?! All three of them were stunned.
Yang Yujun took the lead in running to the window, and looked back and nodded to a few people in the restaurant with a look of surprise: "It's really not down!" ”
Liu Jian'an and Shen Shaoyu also put down breakfast and went to the window to watch.
It is true that not a drop of rain is gone, and the sun, which has been missing for almost three months, has come out and hung warmly in the sky.
Heads poke out of the windows of other floors, and people are waving their arms and shouting happily.
"The rain has stopped! The rain has stopped! Look, the rain has stopped! ”
"Thief God, it's finally over."
Someone clapped their hands, cried and laughed: "Great, it's the end of it!" ”
"Is the sun really out? Alas, the clothes can finally be dried, and Lao Tzu has to wear damp underwear for so long, and the eggs are going to grow mold. ”
"But the water hasn't receded?"
"You fool, the rain has stopped, and the water will recede sooner or later. It's finally going to be back to normal, oh my God. At this moment, I miss the 9-to-5 work life I used to have. ”
"Ahhh When the water recedes, I'm going to eat hot pot, barbecue, and crayfish, guaranteed for a week, oh no, no repeats for a month! ”
People hugged each other excitedly, jumping and jumping, confiding in each other and venting the haze that had accumulated over time. For a time, the whole community was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
The government also sent personnel to drive assault boats through the streets and alleys to broadcast them through loudspeakers.
"Please stay calm, don't take risks, we are making arrangements for follow-up rescue and disaster relief activities in an orderly manner, please wait patiently at home."
Everyone thought that the stop of rain was the beginning of hope, but they didn't expect it to be the prelude to the arrival of purgatory.
Only 1602 is still business as usual.
The scorching sun was unobstructed by the clouds, and shone the earth unscrupulously.
In less than an hour, the indoor temperature went up. The thermometer shows that the room temperature has reached 26°C.
Lin Wanqiao took a thermometer to measure the temperature outside. As soon as it was released, the mercury soared to 28°C, and it continued to rise.
Five minutes later, she retrieved the thermometer, which showed that it had now reached 35°C outside.
This is the temperature of the season, but this is only the beginning, and the rest will only be more exaggerated.
With such a big sun, you can replace it with a solar generator.
This kind of thing, Shen Shaoyu alone is enough. All she had to do was take the generator out of space and take the diesel generator back.
Lin Wanqiao took advantage of the waiting time to enter the space and look at the remaining diesel, which had been used very sparingly during this time, but still consumed one-fifth of the diesel.
She has some pain in her flesh, and it seems that she will have to look for diesel fuel when she has a chance in the future.
Shen Shaoyu's movements were neat, and he changed it with three times and five divided by two.
Lin Wanqiao bought industrial-grade solar panels, and the panels were spread out to cover almost the entire balcony.
According to the manufacturer's introduction, 6 hours of sunlight a day can theoretically produce 14-18 degrees of electricity, which is enough to cover the daily needs of the family.
Because of the space made for the power panels, the chickens' nests had to be moved to the living room balcony. Liu Jian'an used a glove box to enclose an area for them in the corner.
The solar panels quietly absorb heat and provide a steady stream of energy to 1602's appliances, and the family is very satisfied.
On this day, although the weather was hot, everyone was immersed in the fantasy that the hard days were coming to an end, and did not take it to heart.
The stars are moving, and night is falling.
Several families living in the corridor sat around the makeshift beds made of wooden boards, nibbling on compressed biscuits in their hands, and discussing the good days ahead with great interest over a glass of boiled water. The dry biscuits were eaten by them with the déjà vu of beef jerky.
However, the joyous atmosphere was pierced by a terrible scream.
