"My name is Su Keke! This is my grandma! You can also call her Grandma Qiao!"
Facing the inquiring gaze of the B&B owner Chen Yiren, Su Keke gave a brief introduction of herself and Grandma Qiao.
"Su Keke! Grandma Qiao! Welcome to Yiren B&B. But our place is small, and there are really no rooms on the second floor. You can only stay in the attic. Is that okay?"
Chen Yiren said a little embarrassedly.
"The attic is fine! But we only have Chinese currency, do you think it's okay?"
Su Keke looked at Chen Yiren a little embarrassedly and said shyly.
Since the natural disaster, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao really haven't used money for a long time. They didn't expect that they would need money one day.
"That's no problem. You can pay me in Chinese currency! When the fog outside clears, I'll go to the bank to exchange it!"
In this way, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao paid a week's rent in advance.
The owner, Chen Yiren, said that the attic was smaller and relatively cheaper, so she suggested that Su Keke and the others get two rooms.
However, for safety reasons, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao chose to book a standard room.
300 Chinese Yuan a day. Su Keke took out 2100 Chinese Yuan from her backpack and gave them to Chen Yiren.
Su Keke took all this money out from the space.
Her own money had been almost gone before the natural disaster, and this money belonged to Grandma Qiao.
Grandma Qiao usually has the habit of keeping cash at home, so when they left Changhong Community, Grandma Qiao put the 100,000 Chinese yuan she had at home into Su Keke's space. She didn't expect that it would actually come in handy.
Chen Yiren took the money, counted it carefully, and then spoke again with some embarrassment, "It's like this, we had a sudden fog a week ago. The shops, supermarkets, vegetable markets and other places outside are all closed, and the supplies stored in our B&B are almost used up, so we don't provide three meals a day."
"Oh! That's okay! We brought instant noodles!"
Su Keke pointed to her backpack, meaning that as long as you have boiled water, it will be fine.
"That's good!"
Chen Yiren seemed to be suddenly relieved, then she put on a smile and said she would take them to the attic room.
Originally, the waiter wanted to take Su Keke and the others to the attic, but was stopped by Chen Yiren.
"Alan! You go down first! I'll take them!"
"Okay, boss!"
Hearing what Chen Yiren said, the guy named A Lan responded softly and went downstairs with his flashlight.
"He can also speak Mandarin?" Su Keke and Grandma Qiao asked at the same time.
"Of course! I have been in Limo Town for ten years, and Alan has been my assistant here for eight years. I taught him Chinese, so it sounds good, right?"
Chen Yiren lit her lantern again and talked as she walked up the stairs with Su Keke.
"That's really good! Boss Chen, I'd like to ask, why is there such foggy weather here? Has it happened before?" Su Keke asked casually.
"It's never happened before! I don't know what happened this time. It's been a week and the weather bureau doesn't have any solution. They just told everyone to wait and not go out to avoid accidents."
"What do you think? If everyone's food supply is used up, won't they go out? Oh! Who knows what kind of unrest will happen then."
Chen Yiren sighed, her eyes full of worry.
"Boss Chen! Don't worry too much! Maybe the fog will clear tomorrow!"
Su Keke said this in a nonchalant manner.
"Then I'd like to thank you for your good wishes! Oh, by the way, don't be so polite when calling me Boss Chen. We are both Chinese. It's fate that we meet in this remote Arctic Circle. I'm older than you, but you can just call me Sister Yiren. As for Grandma Qiao, you can just call me Yiren!"
"Okay! Sister Yiren!" Su Keke didn't bother to be polite with her and called her Sister Yiren all the time, which made Chen Yiren very happy.
In fact, Chen Yiren is already in her forties, and it is not an exaggeration for Su Keke to call her aunt. It’s just that she has taken good care of herself and looks like a young woman in her early thirties.
Soon, they arrived at the attic room where Su Keke and the others lived.
There are a total of six small rooms here, the other four are single rooms, and only the two rooms on the left front and back are standard rooms.
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao chose the room in the front on the left. Chen Yiren took out a key, opened the door and went in.
Chen Yiren took out a white candle from a drawer. After lighting the candle, a dim light appeared in the small room.
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao put their backpacks on the bed and their two pairs of eyes looked around the room. It was indeed very small.
There is a very small bathroom right at the entrance. Two single beds almost take up the entire room, with a bedside table on each side.
Opposite the bed there is a small wardrobe and a table with two small stools under it.
There is a pointed roof above my head and a beautiful crystal chandelier sparkling in the candlelight.
"Sister Yiren! Why is there a power outage here? This heavy fog should have no impact on the town's power system, right?" Su Keke asked puzzledly.
"Oh! I don't know the reason. One month before the heavy fog, the government announced that they would start to ration electricity, saying that there was a shortage of electricity in the town. At that time, there were mostly power outages during the day and electricity at night."
"But since the heavy fog, the power cuts have become more serious. We only have electricity at 2 pm, and that's only for an hour. You'd better hurry up and take a hot bath while the power is on."
After saying this, Chen Yiren told Su Keke and the others to pack up first, and if they had any problems, they could find her in the front room on the left side of the second floor. She lived in that room.
"Okay! We got it!"
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao watched Chen Yiren leave the room and closed the door.
"Keke! Do you think this heavy fog can be considered a natural disaster, like the typhoons and floods we have?"
Grandma Qiao pulled out the small stool from under the table, asked Su Keke to sit next to it.
"I think it's about right. Let's stay here for a few days. If there really is an explosion and it's too dangerous, we'll withdraw!"
Su Keke moved the candle on the table towards them and said seriously.
"Okay! Go to the space and get me two sets of sheets and quilt covers. Although this place looks very clean and tidy, it's better for us to sleep in our own beds!"
Grandma Qiao said, looking at the two single beds.
"Okay! I'll get it right away!"
Su Keke said this and went into her own space, taking out two sets of clean four-piece suits for Grandma Qiao.
The two of them worked together to put the original sheets, quilt covers and pillows on the bed into the closet.
After I tidied up the small room, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning.
Su Keke opened the curtains and looked outside. It was still foggy.
