Chapter 147 The artificial sun is officially launched
As for the moon and stars, there were naturally no such things. All that could be seen was the sky as if it was wrapped in a piece of black cloth. The sunlight outside wanted to shine in but could not. A blood-red light shone through the darkness, which was very strange.
My aunt's family learned their lesson this time. No one from her family called out to her. After entering the villa, she felt surrounded by warmth and could still smell the scent of medicated oil.
"How much Fengyoujing does she have at home? Could it be that Jingshu has a special hobby and likes to apply it that's why she buys so much?"
My aunt muttered softly, and everything in front of her was pitch black. She hugged Su Long tightly and walked towards the door step by step.
Because the green eyes in the dark were staring at them, Su Long's legs were trembling. This time they obediently entered the villa and sat in their seats waiting for the meal to start. They didn't dare to go anywhere. They felt like they had just walked through a life-and-death experience. The green eyes were really scary.
The table was filled with delicious food. Jingshu distributed gloves and shoe covers to everyone: "Since there is a severe lack of water, you don't need to wash your hands. Wear disposable gloves instead."
The last time I came was during the Dragon Boat Festival in June. My aunt thought that her family would have more food then, so the meal was a bit rich. But now it’s October and they are very short of water. The drink in her family turned out to be homemade red bean milk tea, and there was even milk?
The soup was pig's trotter stewed with soybeans, and the dishes were the usual dry goods: scrambled eggs with black fungus, steamed egg cakes, fried eggs, egg pancakes, steamed fish...
Oh, yes, working on a livestock farm, there were eggs, milk and so on. My aunt was so envious that she was crazy. She wondered why she didn’t go to a livestock farm at that time.
Grandma Jing said with a smile: "Try the mooncakes I made today first. They are not as good as the ones bought outside."
My aunt carefully picked up the mooncake and took a bite. The soft, glutinous and sweet taste came out. In addition to the sweetness, there was also egg yolk in the middle, which was really delicious!
My aunt was so moved that she cried.
Jingshu herself ate more than a dozen mooncakes. The crispy mooncakes were so delicious! Jingshu's appetite also refreshed everyone's three views. It is not easy to survive in this world without food.
After dinner, everyone chatted for a while and talked about the artificial sun. My aunt slapped her thigh and said:
"My friend just introduced me to a solar distiller that can collect water yesterday. Then the news said that an artificial sun is about to be launched. Today, someone in our group said that the artificial sun is not reliable and that this distiller is more reliable. If it works well, I will recommend it to you."
The whole family looked confused.
"Aunt, how many did you buy?" Jingshu covered her face. She felt like she had been fooled in this life and the next.
"I just bought one. This model is a pyramid scheme. You can only make money in the early stages. Well, I just want to earn some work points and supplement some water." My aunt said proudly.
Look, it’s exactly the same as in the previous life... After all, I studied law. I knew it was a scam but I still wanted to try it. It would be the same with or without her introduction.
It really proves the saying: those who drown are usually those who can swim.
This time, my aunt is in trouble, but 20 work points is something she can afford now. Jingshu can't predict what will happen next, right?
"How about it? Do you want to buy a still and try it out?"
"The artificial sun will be put into use in a couple of days, and our family doesn't need it." Jingshu quickly refused.
"Okay, I knew your family didn't need it." The aunt felt a little disappointed. Look at this villa, it has electricity, water, the same temperature at night and during the day, it's clean and tidy with no odor. How did Jingshu's family live better and better?
…
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Grandma Jing asked her eldest aunt to send more than 20 mooncakes. When she came back, she brought a cart of Mid-Autumn Festival gifts and said they were to honor the old couple. Grandma Jing smiled so hard that her big teeth were exposed. It seems that her eldest daughter is so thoughtful and gives her face.
I learned on the phone that the sow at my aunt's house had given birth to several piglets, so they were transferred to work at the livestock farm. Now they are doing very well with the piglets. Moreover, Wei Zheng also brought the girl home. He plans to hold a wedding banquet next year when the family has more financial resources. Maybe even a full moon banquet will be held at the same time. Jingnai was very happy to hear that.
Jingshu is a person who gets the Tao and everyone in the family gets the Tao.
The family benefited.
The military parade is traditionally held at 10 a.m. on October 1st every year. This year, the parade will be held at this time as well. As an exception, the entire country will have power supply at this time, allowing people across the country to witness this great day.
Just because of the conditions, this year's military parade was kept simple, but the military style can still be seen. At the same time, new foods that have been developed and some technological items made using darkness were introduced to give everyone a bright future.
The subsequent speech moved everyone to tears and they felt deeply sympathetic.
On this day, the new century will be officially changed to the end of the world where people have to survive in the cracks, and January 1, 2023 will be designated as the first day of the end of the world. Until the day when there is sunlight, China will declare that the end of the world is over!
"I hope it will be a year, or even less, but we are not afraid of how long the apocalypse will last. As long as we work together and weather the storm together, no matter how long the apocalypse lasts, the Chinese people will always be steadfast and live well!"
The national anthem sounded at this moment and the national flag slowly rose. Although it did not rise with the sun, it still fluttered in the wind!
Jingshu and her family sat in front of the TV and stood up involuntarily to sing the national anthem together solemnly. No matter how many times they sang it, Jingshu felt tears welling up in her eyes. Even though China had many faults, it was still her motherland and it had led her to survive for ten years in the apocalypse.
To celebrate National Day, major supermarkets in Wucheng opened self-service stores for three days, offering unlimited insects and a portion of white rice per person.
This news spread like wildfire, making people completely excited. When was the last time that eating a meal of white rice could make people so excited?
The artificial sun was started, but there was still no water, and a large number of people died because they could not hold on. Not to mention the fishy and bitter water, they were willing to drink anything!
People's hearts sank little by little, but finally on October 8, the artificial sun completed the purification of the entire polluted freshwater lake!
The people of Wucheng finally have water to drink!
Wang Qiqi: "Everyone, great news! We finally have water to drink! From now on, water trucks will deliver water to each community every day. Civil servants will get 5 liters of water per day, other units will get 4 liters, and ordinary people will get 3 liters! All 20 water trucks in Wucheng have set off! Our hard times are over!"
Fatty: "Oh my god, is this true or fake? I actually gave out 3 kilograms of water. I'm so happy. I can wipe my body now!"
Chouchou: "I can definitely drink up 3 kilograms of water!"
Today was destined to be an exciting day. The water truck arrived in a short while. Everyone had lined up and registered, and Wu Youai, who had been recovering from an injury for four months, also came to the scene to direct the work in person.
