That night, Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen found a newly opened coconut chicken hotpot restaurant for dinner.
During the meal, Zheng Jiamei also sent a photo of the dinner to Chen Yuanyuan.
A plate full of small seafood and clear water noodles is really served cold.
"Do you think it's possible for Locke and Jiamei to get together?" Chen Yuanyuan asked Shen Yichen.
"It's the end of the world now. Two people who like each other can stay together." Shen Yichen said with a smile.
Although the two may have many differences in family, work, etc., Shen Yichen is right. In the end of the world, no one knows what will happen tomorrow.
Live in the moment, and since you like it, you should seize the opportunity to be together.
Within a few days, the weather became hotter and hotter. Daytime temperatures soared to 40 degrees, and even 30 degrees at night. Many families without air conditioners complained.
Shen Yichen originally kept Dongzhi in the military camp to follow the army training, but the temperature was too hot, so Shen Yichen took Dongzhi home again.
Sui Sui and Dong Zhi reunited after a long absence, but they were not as excited as expected. Sui Sui slowly approached Dong Zhi, took a sniff, and then scratched Dong Zi's paw.
Although Dong Zhi no longer barks randomly after training, he was rewarded with a big bag as soon as they met, which also made him suspicious of dog life.
"Sui Sui, I blame you for being gone for so long." Shen Yichen touched Dong Zhi's aggrieved face and said.
Chen Yuanyuan knelt down and took a look at Dongzhi. Fortunately, she was not injured. It seemed that Suisi had a sense of temper and did not want to hurt Dongzhi.
When the extreme heat comes, some public facilities, such as gymnasiums and shopping malls, are switched to 24-hour air conditioning to provide residents in the base with a way to escape the heat.
As the population skyrocketed and more residents turned on air conditioners, the electricity consumption of the entire base suddenly increased dramatically.
Although the technology of electrostatic generators has become increasingly mature, in order to ensure that important public facilities such as hospitals can maintain operation, the power supply is still cut off from 10 to 4 o'clock every night, and the electricity bill per kilowatt hour has also increased by 30%.
Fortunately, solar panels and diesel generators had been installed in Villa No. 38, so the few people could still afford air conditioning.
The entire Guangdong city's lifestyle has shifted to nighttime activities. Chen Yuanyuan bought several ice machines just before the end of the world, and let Grandma He and Chu Man team up to sell iced drinks in the night market.
In the supply center, home appliances such as air conditioners and fans to cool down the heat are even more expensive. Even small handheld fans can be sold for 100 points.
Chen Yuanyuan bought more than a dozen brand-new air conditioners before the end of the world, and she also bought a lot from the showroom in the industrial building, so she sold some of the unused air conditioners and made a small fortune.
Although there is a river at the Guangdong base, water consumption has increased due to the high temperatures in recent days, and the water level has also dropped a lot. The reservoir gate of the aquaculture farm was closed to reduce the loss of water.
"Yuanyuan, the community group said that water restrictions will begin this week. Look, we didn't store a lot of sewage before. Now we can use it to water the vegetables." Grandma He said.
"Community group? Why haven't I heard of it?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"When Xiaomei took me to a party before, I met a few wives from the community and pulled me in, but they didn't send messages very much. I just remembered that this group exists." Grandma He doesn't often use smart phones, but today she The group that posted the water restriction notice was blown up, so I clicked on it and took a look.
"Grandma He, please pull us into the group." Zhang Linlin said while lying on the sofa eating popsicles.
"I don't know how to do it, you do it." After Grandma He handed the phone to Zhang Linlin, she and Chen Yuanyuan went to the small garden to see where the kettle could be placed.
After Chen Yuanyuan took the water storage bottle containing sewage to a corner, she connected a hose to Grandma He at the water outlet.
Although it is already past four o'clock in the afternoon, for a few people who have just woken up from the crazy life they are living day and night now, they are already sweating profusely just by walking around the garden.
Although the temperature in the south is not so high compared to the north, the sultry weather makes the body always feel sticky.
Chen Yuanyuan saw that not long after the sewage kettle was released, there were already water droplets in the kettle. It seemed that she had to find a way to insulate it from the heat.
After taking a sunshade and heat insulation cloth from the space and placing it on the top of the pot, I took a few stones collected along the way last time I climbed the mountain and pressed them down.
After the two returned to the house, even Grandma He, who usually did not drink iced drinks, poured two cups of sour plum soup in the refrigerator.
"Your sour plum soup is so effective in relieving heat!" Chen Yuanyuan said after taking a big sip.
"These sour plums belong to Lin Taiyan from the third area of the apartment. Now the stall business is good, and I have rounded up all her sour plums." Grandma He said with a smile.
"The weather is so hot now. If it's too hard, don't set up a stall." Chen Yuanyuan said.
Originally, I asked Grandma He to set up a stall so that she could kill some time, but now the weather is too hot and it is not worth the damage to her health.
"Xiao Man also said this. I also plan to make the soup in the future and let her sell it." Grandma He said.
Now Grandma He and Chu Man's stalls are placed together. Chu Man's stall is now selling some cooling oil, while Grandma He is selling drinks.
Normally, Chu Man would help Grandma He. Grandma He had always wanted to pay her some salary, but Chu Man had been unwilling to accept it.
Now that the weather is getting hot, Grandma He also feels that her body is a little overwhelmed, so she plans to divide the work with Chu Man to sell drinks.
"The most important thing is that you are happy. It doesn't matter if you make more or less. We young people are responsible for supporting our families." Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.
Although He Yuehua works in a hospital, her monthly salary is only 3,700 points.
Living in the base involves some taxes and daily expenses. Now most of them rely on Chen Yuanyuan and Zhang Linlin's income from searching and hunting, so Grandma He has always wanted to help subsidize them.
Not only did Chen Yuanyuan not collect the income from Grandma He’s stall, she also gave her points every month, but Grandma He also wanted to save some so that she could use it when needed in the future.
"Grandma understands. From now on, just let Xiaoman work at the stall, and I will concentrate on growing good vegetables for you to eat fresh." Grandma He said with a smile.
"That's right, you can't buy your food outside! Let Feiyang get you a simple sprinkler system after get off work, so that you don't have to go out to water in the bright sun." Zhang Linlin said.
"When you mentioned it, I remembered that I bought an automatic sprinkler that can be timed. I'll ask your husband to go to work later to install it." Chen Yuanyuan thought about it. Liu Feiyang didn't go to work until nine o'clock in the evening, so he should have time to install it.
"Okay, he won't have to go to work starting next week, and I'll do whatever he has at home by then." Zhang Linlin said with a smile.
Although no one else is as good as Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen in terms of combat ability, the people on the twelfth floor who came together after the apocalypse also contributed a lot to this big family.
Grandma He who is good at agriculture, Liu Feiyang, a plumber and tool worker, He Yuehua, an unlicensed doctor who combines Chinese and Western medicine, and Zhang Linlin, a handicraftsman and pistachio nut.
Although they all have their own strengths and weaknesses, it is through mutual support and mutual support that they can survive to this day.
