The next morning, Xia Shige was awakened by a loud noise.
All I could hear was the excited shouts of the residents outside the window:
“It’s daybreak! It’s daybreak!!”
"Look! The sun! It's the sun!!"
"It's really the sun! The sun is out!!"
"Everybody, come out! It's daybreak! Everything is over! The damn day is finally over!!"
"Oh my god! The sun is finally out! I haven't seen the sun for half a century!"
“…”
These calls were like a ray of light that penetrated the thick clouds and instantly illuminated the entire community.
The residents in the community no longer cared about the cold weather. They wrapped themselves in thick clothes, walked out of their homes, came down to the bottom of their apartment buildings, and looked up at the sky.
Because they hadn't seen the sun for a long time, the residents in the community shielded their eyes with their hands feeling a little uncomfortable.
They squinted their eyes, admiring the golden sun in the sky, and couldn't help shouting excitedly.
Xia Shige also woke up to the excited shouting.
She raised her hand to rub her sleepy eyes, got up from the bed, opened the window and looked out.
The sun was rising in the east at this time. The morning sun was shining gently, warm and dazzling, bringing life to this world that had been shrouded in darkness for so long.
After experiencing an endless night lasting half a century, all the volcanic ash in the atmosphere finally settled to the ground with snowflakes, and the earth welcomed the long-awaited light.
Xia Shige looked at the community square in the distance again, and saw that quite a few people had gathered there.
Because the sun was out, the owners were very happy and started to help the property clean up the black snow on the ground.
It seemed that the black snow on the ground was the last stumbling block for everything to return to normal. As long as the black snow was cleared away, the earth would return to its state before the disaster.
…
After getting up, Xia Shige simply washed up and went to the living room with the white cat in his arms.
In the living room, the originally thick light-blocking curtains were opened a wide gap, and the sunlight shone through the window onto the dining table, emitting a faint golden glow.
Grandma, Grandma Liu and my aunt were preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
After a while, a sumptuous breakfast was ready. The Xia family sat together and began to eat breakfast around the dining table.
Xia Shige picked up a pan-fried bun with beef filling. When he took a bite of the steaming bun, he found the crispy outer shell and the juicy filling were a perfect combination.
The whole family was in a good mood because they saw the long-lost sunshine.
Sun Yuegui sighed: "The sun is finally out. It's been almost half a year since I last saw the sun. I was a little uncomfortable for a while!"
Xia Guocheng also nodded in agreement: "Yes, when I woke up today and saw the sun coming out, I felt like I was dreaming, as if I had returned to the time before the natural disaster happened."
Grandma swallowed the egg pancake in her mouth, sighed and said, "It would be great if this natural disaster ended like this..."
It is now October, and this natural disaster has lasted for almost two decades since April 2011. During this period of time, most people have been living in dire straits.
Everyone hopes that this natural disaster will end soon.
Xia Shige took a sip of sweet soy milk and thought to himself, it’s still too early for the natural disaster to end. The coming out of the sun will be the real beginning of this snowstorm!
In her previous life, Xia Shige once cheered because the sun came out, and she thought the disaster was about to end.
Unexpectedly, in the next three months or so, a large-scale snowstorm swept the world, plunging the entire earth into an extremely cold and frozen period.
At that time, some experts said that the state of the earth was equivalent to entering an "ice age", with most parts of the world covered by ice and snow, and the frozen range of the ocean reaching hundreds of meters...
