What Xu Qing didn't see was that, without her noticing, Chen Shuisi secretly sent Xiao Chen a WeChat message.
"Brother Xiao, let's give them some time to think about this. After all, Qingqing is their best friend."
After sending the message, Chen Shuisi deleted it.
On the other side, Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow after hearing the message from Chen Shuisi, and couldn't help but sneer. This woman was still being reserved, but it didn't matter. Anyway, Xiao Chen wouldn't let them in. In this apartment, only he could enjoy the warmth.
"However, it seems the power will go out in about an hour."
Xiao Chen seemed to be thinking about something, a thoughtful expression appearing between his brows. It was the second day of the heavy snowfall, and thanks to the heavy rains of the previous week, most of the power station hadn't been flooded. It was already quite an achievement that it could still generate electricity.
In addition, due to the heavy snow and extreme cold, the power station was reduced to providing electricity for one hour every evening at 7 pm, and high-power appliances could not be used.
After all, if the power generation continues for too long or high-power appliances are used, the power lines may not be able to withstand the load, and then everyone will be without power.
Meanwhile, Zhao Xiaohua, who was downstairs from Xiao Chen, finally filled a basin with snowflakes after an hour of effort.
"Honey, just wait a minute, you'll be able to take a hot shower in half an hour."
After Zhao Xiaohua finished speaking, she put the electric kettle into the snowflake. Tang Xiaohu's face turned pale when he heard that he would have to wait another half hour, but he still didn't move. The reason was simply that it was too cold.
If you were like him, spending over an hour naked in the toilet in sub-zero temperatures, then this would be (use your imagination).
Ten minutes had finally passed, and thanks to the electric kettle, the snowflakes had all turned into molten snow. Zhao Xiaohua tentatively put her hand into the plate, but it was so cold that she was shivering. It seemed that she would have to wait quite a while longer.
Just a few minutes later, the voice of Tang Jian, the son, came from inside the room.
"Mom, why is the power out?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaohu immediately sensed something was wrong. Sure enough, Zhao Xiaohua soon came to the door and told Tang Xiaohu some unfortunate news.
The power is out!
"What's going on? I'll go check it out!"
At this moment, Tang Xiaohu finally couldn't hold back any longer. He put on his clothes and walked towards the door. However, the moment Tang Xiaohu stepped out, Zhao Xiaohua almost vomited. After covering her nose, Tang Xiaohu was also a little annoyed, but he still held back.
Soon Tang Xiaohu arrived at the power switch, but after checking it, he found that the power switch had not tripped.
What exactly is going on?
Tang Xiaohu frowned, and at the same time, he smelled the stench on himself. It was indeed very smelly, and he still needed to take a shower.
When Tang Xiaohu opened the account owner group, it was already in an uproar.
"What's going on? I was cooking, why is the power out?"
"Oh no, my phone was about to die. I was just about to charge it when it died. It only has 30 seconds left before it shuts down. Is there any handsome guy who can bring me a power bank?"
"Hey buddy upstairs, are you alright? Where are you?"
"It seems like the whole of Hangzhou is without power. Are we all going to die?"
Upon seeing the message in the group, Tang Xiaohu felt a pang of sadness. He immediately told his wife to check what else they could burn and try to boil the snow water first, since he couldn't sleep without taking a bath because he smelled so bad.
Tang Xiaohu continued to browse the messages on his phone and quickly found a number to call.
"Hey, Station Master Gu, what happened at the power station? Why is there no power?"
Tang Xiaohu knew Gu Hongfeng, the station manager of the Hangzhou Power Station, and had Gu Hongfeng's contact information in his phone. Now that he needed it, Tang Xiaohu naturally wanted to contact Gu Hongfeng.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Hongfeng was inside the Hangzhou power plant. His temples had long since turned gray, and he was only wearing three cotton-padded coats, shivering from the cold.
When faced with Tang Xiaohu, Gu Hongfeng could only say helplessly, "Director Tang, it's not that we want to cut off the power, but after seven days of rain and the current extreme cold, the power lines in the entire city of Hangzhou have been severely damaged. If we continue to supply power, it may cause a short circuit, and then everyone will be without power."
"Moreover, there are basically no people left on my side. In order to make sure everyone has something to use, the people at the power station have not slept for several days. So starting today, we will only supply electricity between 7 pm and 8 pm every night, and we cannot use high-power appliances."
Hearing Gu Hongfeng's words, Tang Xiaohu could only say helplessly, "Is that so? In that case, Station Chief Gu, you can get back to work."
After saying that, Tang Xiaohu hung up the phone.
"How are you, honey? Why is the power out?"
As soon as the call ended, Zhao Xiaohua came over immediately, but she covered her nose tightly.
"well."
Tang Xiaohu simply sighed and relayed Gu Hongfeng's words to Zhao Xiaohua. Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaohua was immediately dismayed. Only one hour of electricity? And they couldn't even use common appliances? How were they supposed to survive?
"Honey, can't you use your connections to get Station Master Gu to make an exception and supply electricity?"
Zhao Xiaohua asked again, but Tang Xiaohu denied it.
"Although I can get Gu Hongfeng to supply electricity, you don't know how long this heavy snow will last, so for the sake of the future, let's just make do for now."
Tang Xiaohu sighed and said that he was prepared for a long battle. However, Tang Xiaohu already had an idea in his mind: he would wait until he finished showering before putting it into practice. He figured someone would bring it to him.
After Zhao Xiaohua burned more than a dozen books, she finally managed to heat the snow water to the right temperature.
"Honey, go take a shower."
Zhao Xiaohua took a deep breath, carried the water to the toilet, and ran out the instant she put the water down. Who knows how smelly the toilet must have become after Tang Xiaohu had been there for more than an hour?
"Is it really that smelly?"
Tang Xiaohu said with some disbelief, and then stepped into the toilet. But the moment he stepped into the toilet, Tang Xiaohu felt that something was wrong.
"Holy crap, what kind of biological weapon is this?"
Tang Xiaohu's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. The smell was from his own body. Tang Xiaohu would have believed it if someone told him that the corpse had been soaking in the cesspool for seven days before being pulled out. But there was nothing he could do. The water temperature was still okay now, but if he continued to wait, the water would get cold.
So Tang Xiaohu could only take a deep breath and reduce his breathing as he entered the toilet to take a shower. However, this shower was the most difficult one in Tang Xiaohu's life, even more difficult than the first time he took a bath with Zhao Xiaohua.
