MTL - Call Me Daddy-Chapter 68 , Alternative "end of the world" (4)

When the power outage first happened, the villagers in Tuanjie Village didn't take it seriously.

Deng Caihua has the habit of watching TV dramas. Not only does she like to watch them, but she also likes to watch them loudly. She lives in the hospital these days because she has to take care of patients in the same ward. She is embarrassed to play the TV dramas too loudly. She felt that those plots with strong conflicts seemed a bit boring.

When she gets home now, she still has to let her go.

After dinner and taking a shower, Deng Caihua couldn't wait to sit on the cloth sofa that her eldest son and daughter-in-law bought for her, and turned on the 50-inch TV that her younger son bought for her last year.

She is currently chasing a 120-episode family ethics drama. The plot outline is that a poor but kind-hearted girl marries into a wealthy family. During this period, she experiences a series of tragic stories such as being abused by her mother-in-law, miscarriage, and her husband cheating on girlfriends. San abandoned the bankrupt scumbag, but the heroine chose not to leave, and returned to her husband, supported him, encouraged him, and finally won the approval of the wealthy mother-in-law, and restored her husband's story.

"stupid!"

Deng Caihua scolded and watched, is there such a stupid woman in this world? That junk has already been lost, how about picking it up and licking it a few more times? There is also such an evil mother-in-law who helped her miscarriage, and just because the bankrupt mother-in-law "repented" later, she could respect her as her own mother again regardless of the past?

While scolding the heroine, the old lady scolded the scumbag, the poisonous woman, and the scumbag, and also scolded the director and screenwriter who wrote this kind of script.

"Can't we Susu learn from her?"

The old lady broke the peeled oranges in half, and handed half to her granddaughter Susu and the other half to her grandson Yuanyuan.

"Uh-huh."

Susu's round, white and tender little head is as heavy as glutinous rice balls. It may be because of being raised by the old lady. Although she is only three and a half years old, she is also a loyal fan of the 8 o'clock TV series. She doesn't know how complicated it is. Did she understand the plot?

"Don't learn from her, listen to grandma."

After stuffing a piece of orange flesh into the small mouth, it was full, and she was a little slurred when speaking. The orange juice slipped from the corner of her mouth from time to time, and she stuck out her tongue to lick it back.

"So cute!"

The sensible appearance made the old lady very rare.

"If someone bullies you in the future, do you know what to do?"

Deng Caihua's education of her grandchildren is a perfect fit. Her precious little granddaughter cannot be bullied by anyone. She must be taught to protect herself.

"Well…"

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then looked at the heroine in the TV drama who was being bullied by the wicked mother-in-law and wiped the floor on her knees.

"Sue grandma!"

The little fist was clenched tightly, the nose was wrinkled together, trying to put on a fierce expression, but because it was too cute, it only made people feel cute.

Sue grandma and let grandma beat the villain who bullied her.

In Susu's heart, grandma is the most powerful person in the world, her father listens to her, and everyone else in the village is also afraid of grandma.

"Hey, my Susu is really smart. That's right, if anyone bullies you, just sue grandma, and grandma will bully you back."

The old lady hugged her good granddaughter, and felt that there was no second girl in the world who was as lovely as Susu. Her family Susu was not only cute, but also smart. She knew that she would find her grandma when she was in trouble. Take the lead for her.

It was right not to steam those idiots tonight, and it is better not to give them to the children until you are sure whether those stupid chickens, ducks, and geese are as stupid as their mothers.

But how to prove that there is no problem with these eggs?

The two sons flashed through the old lady's mind, must be, they are also her big boys.

How about choosing Ma Aifang? A long face flashed in Deng Caihua's mind.

Anyway, that woman is already stupid enough, and it doesn't matter if she is a little bit stupid.

In an exquisite small western-style building more than 100 meters away, a woman was sitting on a leather sofa watching the same TV series on a 70-inch TV, and the oranges in her hand were crushed because of those annoying plot up.

The more Ma Aifang watched, the angrier she became. The heroine's mother-in-law in this TV series is really annoying. That face is as hateful as Deng Caihua's.

She should be discharged home today, right?

At this time, the TV series happened to be in the scene where the heroine was about to have a miscarriage because of her harsh mother-in-law.

Ma Aifang couldn't care less about missing that old enemy, and her heart was so high that she knew that the heroine's child would not be able to keep this time in the preview of the previous episode, but she still hoped that a miracle would happen.

Just when the door of the operating room opened and the doctor came out of the operation to announce the result, there was a bang, and the power of the TV jumped out, leaving only a black screen in front of him.

Not only that, a small light that was originally on in the living room was also turned off at this moment.

Fortunately, what I'm watching right now is not a horror movie or a detective movie. Otherwise, in the middle of the night, I'm going to be scared to death.

Ma Aifang patted her chest, and taking advantage of the moonlight coming in from the glass window in the living room, she groped to take out a flashlight from the cabinet under the coffee table.

The circuit in Tuanjie Village is not stable, trips often occur, and most of the people in the village are still planting the land. Whenever some melons and fruits are ripe, they always go to the field at night to check to prevent people from picking them secretly. Ripe melons and fruits, so almost every house is equipped with a flashlight.

Ma Aifang turned on the flashlight, and the room was brightly lit up. She got up and walked outside, trying to see if it was a power outage, or if it was only her house that tripped.

At the same time, Deng Caihua and Susu also watched the plot come to an abrupt end at the most exciting moment.

The long-cherished wish of eating oranges on the side was relieved, and it was finally over.

He wanted to watch Ultraman, he wanted to watch Journey to the West, and he didn't want to watch weird TV dramas like Let Love Come Home.

Hope the call doesn't come!

"Ma Er, do you have electricity at home?"

When Deng Caihua walked into the yard with a flashlight, there happened to be an old man standing in the next yard who came out to inquire about the situation.

"No, this TV is only halfway on."

The old man was wearing a yellowed old man's shirt, with a thin coat on his shoulders, and he was stepping on the stone pile beside his own courtyard at the moment. He seemed to want to stand a little higher, so that he could see the nearby houses clearly. The lighting conditions of the neighbor's house.

The surroundings were pitch black, and the street lamps that were supposed to be on at night were all extinguished at this moment.

"It is estimated that our village has a power outage."

Ma Er said with certainty.

"Why did the power go out without notification?"

Deng Caihua felt a little bad, it was only her first day back, and she didn't watch it as a TV series.

"Maybe there is a problem with some part of the circuit. It's okay. The village chief should call the power supply bureau later. Everyone, go to bed. It will be fine when you wake up early in the morning."

The circuit in Tuanjie Village is not good, and there are frequent power outages, so everyone is used to it. Anyway, it’s getting late now, so why don’t you just go back to sleep.

The older generation can bear it, but the younger ones always keep their mobile phones in their hands. When they found out that the internet was cut off at the same time as the power outage, and they couldn't even receive a signal, they couldn't bear it immediately.

But what can they do when there is no signal and no calls can be made?

Go to sleep, go to sleep, you will be fine when you wake up tomorrow morning, this has become the consensus of the whole village.

That night, Susu chose to sleep with grandma, while Su Aobai was alone in the room, looking out from the bedroom on the second floor, looking out at the dark village, thinking in his heart.

No, what is there to worry about?

In this life, he's cheating. My daughter's ability is amazing. Now it seems that the mother who saved her life also has special abilities. He can chew on the old and the young. It's him who is invincible!

Although it is very unkind, but in this life, Su Aobai wants to choose to lie down and win.

I don’t know if the last world was too sad. The difficulty of this world is unexpectedly low. The system sent him to this special time. His mother didn’t die unexpectedly. In his daughter’s mind, he is still a very good father, although Because of the lack of gatherings and separation, the daughter is not as close to him as she is to her grandmother, but the initial favorability has already reached 78, which was not seen in the previous few worlds. It can be said that it is only one step away from the qualified line required by the system.

Even if he doesn't do anything on purpose, this favorability will gradually increase in the future when he gets along day and night.

The boat was naturally straight when it reached the bridge, but Su Aobai chose to give up thinking. In this life, he just wanted to be a waste and listen to his mother.

*****

"Have you called yet?"

"Why is there no signal yet?"

"I can't get on the Internet, and I can't even make calls to 110 or 120!"

Early in the morning, many people came to the door of the village chief's house one after another.

In a small village like Tuanjie Village, the identity of the village head is still very prestigious. When encountering any troubles, the first thing everyone thinks of is the village head and the village party secretary.

Deng Guohua pushed out a rusty 28-bar bicycle from his warehouse to appease the villagers.

"Don't panic, I'll go to the town and ask."

Now he rides an electric scooter when he goes out, but last night there was a sudden power outage, and the electric scooter was not fully charged. With that little power, it is okay to go back and forth between the town government and the village, but if the town can’t handle it well, go to If the county hears the news, I'm afraid it's enough.

So Deng Guohua thought of the old-fashioned bicycles that he had already eliminated. Because his wife was stingy and shrewd, she was never willing to throw them away, so they piled them up in the warehouse.

He tried it out, the bike was still working, he gave the chain some oil and he was ready to go.

On the other side, Kong Yao was also in a hurry to go out.

She thought more than the villagers.

Power outages are common, but even the signal has completely disappeared, which is a bit abnormal.

If there is a problem with the nearby signal tower, it is reasonable to send someone to notify it at this moment, but now there is no movement at all, so long has passed, and the electricity and signal have not been restored.

Because of getting up early to cook, Kong Yao also found that the water taps were cut off at the same time, which indicated that there was a problem with the nearby water pipes or even the local waterworks. When these problems came together, it was definitely not a small problem.

So after she finished her simple breakfast with mineral water, she was going to go back to the city to find out about the situation with her husband who worked at the unit.

If there is only a problem in their village, then take the children and the elderly to live in the city for a while until the water and electricity signals are restored.

She still has to contact her parents, and she doesn't know what's going on with them.

"Sister-in-law, let me go with you. I just want to buy something, so I can return the car to my friend."

Su Aobai also proposed the idea of ​​going to the city together. The old lady's body has stabilized, and the two children, Susu and Yuanyuan, can be taught to the old lady to take care of them.

"Also."

Kong Yao glanced at the seven-seater off-road vehicle parked in the yard, and thought that she should return the borrowed car. By the way, she could also ask her brother-in-law to send her to his elder brother's work unit. Just go to work.

"etc!"

When they left, Deng Caihua stopped the youngest son.

"Erbai, when you go to the city later, stop by the Four Seasons Shopping Street and buy some seasonings. I'll write everything down for you on paper."

Deng Caihua took out a piece of paper, which was densely written with seasonings.

"I don't know when the electricity will come. What if the frozen meat in the refrigerator is spoiled? Now that the weather is so hot, I will marinate it and make it into bacon or chili sauce. This stuff is durable."

As an old lady with life experience, Deng Caihua has already begun to consider the worst plan if the circuit cannot be restored in a short time.

It happened that some of the seasonings at home were gone, so when I asked my son to go to the city, I happened to go to the Four Seasons Commercial Street, which was for wholesale, and it was the most cost-effective to buy the things she wanted there.

The old lady marked the things she was going to buy, as well as the daily prices of those things on the paper, and she didn't even intend to let the younger son remember it, which was really easy.

Su Aobai glanced at it briefly, and the seasoning written on it contained salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, oyster sauce...

They are all seasonings that are not easy to make by yourself. As for seasonings such as dried chili and Chinese prickly ash, they are not listed because they are grown in the fields at home and in the back mountains.

This gave him an excuse to stock up on seasonings.

Su Aobai nodded, put the note in his pocket, promised his daughter that he would buy palm-sized Skittles for her and her brother, and drove away with his sister-in-law.

*****

On the way to the city, Kong Yao's expression became more and more serious.

She asked Su Aobai to stop several times on the way, and every time she would get off the car and ask the people on the road about the situation. There was no power or water supply, and it didn't just happen in Tuanjie Village. Everything happened since last night. The same situation.

Kong Yao suspects that it is very likely that these problems have occurred in the whole city.

However, a city-wide power cut and no signal was unheard of in Kong Yao's lifetime.

There was an inexplicable panic in her heart.

"Erbai, let's not go to your brother's unit, let's go to the Four Seasons Commercial Street first."

Kong Yao fastened her seat belt after getting into the car, and asked Su Aobai in the driver's seat.

"I'm a little flustered, and I always feel that the water and electricity cutoff this time is not easy."

That street is full of privately run small shops selling a wide variety of things, including seasonings for Deng Caihua, rice noodles, grains and oils, and all kinds of specialty dry goods from all over the world. It can be called a food street. At the same time, in this street, There are also a few shops selling daily necessities and hardware.

The reason why I chose to go to this street is because this street is full of shops run by private small bosses. When paying, you can pay in cash or scan the QR code of the boss. Some large supermarkets are different. Their goods Too many, the salesperson can't remember the price of each item at all, and the payment needs to be connected to the account. If there is a power outage in the whole city at this moment, I am afraid that the supermarket will not be able to open unless they have a second diesel power generation system.

Kong Yao didn't know what was going on with the power outage and how long it would last, but she thought of a problem.

Nowadays, people are used to mobile payment and rarely keep cash around them. When the power is not restored, they have no way to go to the bank or ATM to withdraw money. That is to say, once the remaining power of the mobile phone is gone, They don't have a penny on them to buy goods.

Kong Yao felt that the power supply would be restored after a while. A shocking accident like a city-wide power outage would cause huge economic losses to the government's finances every second. How could the country allow this harm to continue to ferment.

But at the same time, I was worried that this sudden blackout and the disappearance of the signal were an ominous sign.

Chinese people always think about being prepared, but Kong Yao always feels that it is better to stock up on some supplies to feel at ease.

She should buy more things and put them at home before the phone runs out of power. There are rice, noodles and grains at home. The oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are more durable, and you don’t have to worry about running out. You can buy more, as well as dried shrimp, Seaweed and other seafood that cannot be produced locally.

You can also stock up on paper towels, sanitary napkins, and medicines! Calcium tablets, vitamins and the like are not harmful to the body, so buy some too.

In Kong Yao's heart, she was more inclined to panic because she was too panic-stricken, but they were all things that would be used in daily life, and hoarding them would not cause waste. In the case of savings, buy some first and stock up.

When Su Aobai and his sister-in-law came to Shanghuo Street, there were not many people. Obviously, there are still a few people who are as nervous as her.

Some bosses in the street are also complaining to each other about the power outage, but they are still operating as usual. Although some equipment for scanning codes is no longer available, they all remember the price of their goods in their minds. But it does not prevent them from doing business.

Kong Yao quickly rushed into the shop with his brother-in-law and started to make big purchases.

On the other hand, Su Yiqing, who works in the unit, also began to pay attention to this major power outage and signal disappearance.

The author has something to say:

There is another chapter of Xiaofeichang. It is recommended to wake up the next morning and read it again. Don’t stay up late.
