Xia Huiyin also said, "Yeah, maybe because we were both wearing too much, I didn't feel cold! Lao Lin and Xiao Lin couldn't stand the cold for half an hour, but my brother and I didn't feel cold until we finished moving."
Xia Shige, who was standing by, thought to himself that his mother and uncle had recently taken S-level deep sea secret medicine and eaten a lot of blue shrimps. Perhaps it was these ingredients that had helped enhance their body's ability to resist the cold.
Thinking of this, Xia Shige's eyes lit up - she decided to catch more blue shrimps when she went fishing tomorrow so that her family could eat more!
After Xia Guocheng and Xia Huiyin changed their clothes, they collapsed on the sofa. They had moved supplies from the entire apartment building and were actually quite tired.
Grandma Liu handed them two cups of hot tea and said, "Come on, drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
"Thank you, Aunt Liu." Xia Huiyin and Xia Guocheng took the cups and drank a few sips of hot tea to dispel the slight chill in their bodies.
Xia Shige sat beside him and asked, "Mom, uncle, how much supplies did you receive this time? How long will this batch of supplies last?"
There are still about three months until the end of the extreme cold, and Xia Shige is not sure whether this batch of supplies can last until the temperature rises.
Xia Huiyin replied, "There is a lot of food in the supplies delivered this time, including sand rattan cakes and rice, as well as some salt, sugar, cooking oil and the like. We calculated that the sand rattan cakes are probably enough for the people in the entire apartment building to eat for about two months."
Xia Guocheng also nodded and added: "In addition to food, there are also some insulation materials and coal."
Xia Shige breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "That's good!"
With these sand rattan cakes, plus rice and sugar, it won't be a problem to hold out for three months. As long as we can hold out until March next year, when the temperature rises, there will be hope.
Just when Xia Shige was happy, Xia Huiyin sighed and said, "There is enough food, but the problem is coal. The amount of coal delivered this time is very small, and it is not enough at all."
Xia Guocheng also frowned and said helplessly: "Yes, the amount of coal this time is very small. If every household is given coal, each household can only get enough for a few days!"
Xia Shige's heart skipped a beat when he heard this - it turned out that energy was the most scarce thing right now.
Come to think of it, if it weren't for the current extreme energy shortage, the government would not have implemented large-scale power and heating outages.
Sun Yuegui exclaimed, "Ah!" and asked worriedly, "What should we do? It's so cold outside now. If we don't have coal, how can we survive?"
At this time, food alone is useless, and a heat source is necessary to survive.
Xia Guocheng replied: "We discussed it with Lao Lin and his team. We have several unsold vacant units on the 23rd floor of our unit. We decided to build a temporary shelter in those vacant units and gather everyone in the unit there."
Xia Huiyin finished the hot tea in her hand, put the cup back on the table, and said, "Yes, if everyone gathers in the rooms on the 23rd floor and keeps warm together, these coals can last for a while longer!"
Xia Shige's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was a good idea.
Xia Huiyin continued, "We are going to use insulation materials to re-lay several rooms on the 23rd floor tomorrow, and then notify every household that those who don't have coal for heating should temporarily move to the 23rd floor for shelter!"
