Chapter 212 Extreme Cold Doomsday: Avalanche is coming!
Chapter 212 Extreme Cold Doomsday: Avalanche is coming!
When these words were spoken, not only the children were curious, but also the parents and elders around them.
College students, bring them something good.
Dang Dang Dang!
Jiang Jiang took out a box of marbles, two boxes of flying chess, three boxes of Monopoly, and the girls' favorite rubber bands from the bag she brought with her.
"Wow!"
These things undoubtedly attracted the children's attention, and even some adults were tempted.
There's nothing we can do. There are no entertainment activities at all. It's really boring.
When everyone got together, they even talked about old gossip from decades ago.
"Go play!"
Jiang Jiang waved her hand, and the children thanked her, then ran away with their toys, their little faces red.
They found a place in the corner and played games by candlelight.
Everything about the basement is good except that there is no light. Everyone now relies on the faint light of candles for lighting.
Jiang Jiang came to the place where his various luggage were piled and began to pack.
Aunt Shufen and her family still lived near her as before. With the help of several people, their things were quickly sorted out. Now that she was free, she came to Jiang Jiang to help.
"I heard from Zhang Kai and Zhang Yang that you didn't bring much stuff, but it was quite heavy. He almost couldn't move it."
Aunt Shufen helped Jiang Jiang spread the blanket and started chatting with her.
"Aunt, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that what Zhang Yang and his friends brought here are good things!"
Jiang Jiang bent down and dragged out the things that Zhang Yang and the others had moved in today, and lifted the cloth wrapping them.
There was a generator inside!
But it is not a fuel generator, nor a diesel generator, nor a solar generator.
This is just a human-powered generator with low power and little energy storage. It was given to Jiang Jiang by his boss when he bought the generator. It has pedals on it. As long as someone keeps pedaling like a bicycle, it can generate a steady supply of electricity.
However, this amount of electricity is only enough to charge a mobile phone, light a light bulb, and is not enough to power an air conditioner.
This kind of generator only costs a few hundred yuan, and the cost price is even lower, so it doesn't look conspicuous when Jiang Jiang takes it out.
If someone asked, she could say that she brought it back from school. The original owner went to a science and technology university, and her major was related to electricity.
But surprisingly, no one asked about the origin of the generator.
Everyone watched Jiang Jiang fix the generator and then pull out a few wires to connect the light bulbs.
At this time, most of the villagers had returned from outside. A small number of people went to the factory to get some fresh air, and many people returned to the basement. Seeing that everyone was gathered in one place, they also came to join in the fun.
"This generator is barely enough to power the light bulbs. Two hours of pedaling a day is enough. There's no way to store more power."
Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing is useless.
It takes two hours to pedal just to light a few lights. Although Qingshan Village is poor, it has electricity.
Instead of spending their time on this, they might as well take care of the vegetable fields. After all, they can make money by selling them.
But now, this kind of generator has become expensive.
It can be used for exercise and killing time, and it can also generate electricity to provide lighting for the basement.
This way, it is convenient for everyone to cook, rest and play.
"Who wants to try it now?" Jiang Jiang asked. She didn't want to pedal something like a bicycle with great effort, which was so tiring.
"I come!"
"I me me!"
The young people who were originally complaining about being cold, frozen and tired today suddenly became full of energy again.
They have never seen a pedal-operated generator before.
Technology is developing so rapidly nowadays that even electricity generation is mostly based on diesel, wind power and hydropower.
In the end, it was Jiang Jiang’s old acquaintance Zhang Yang who stood out from the many competitors.
"I moved this generator here! I moved it here!"
After he said this, it was difficult for others to argue with him.
Zhang Kai, who moved the things here with Zhang Yang, looked at his silly brother and sighed, thinking that he was just bored.
Not only them, the entire Qingshan Village had no shortage of food. Although it was boring, no one was hungry.
Zhang Kai and his wife sighed at their good luck from time to time. Fortunately, they returned before the snowstorm came, otherwise they had already anticipated what the situation would be like.
If he wasn't well fed and well clothed, he would have frozen to death somewhere long ago.
"Look! The light bulb is on. It's on!"
As Zhang Yang stepped on the pedal with all his strength, several light bulbs hanging in the basement flashed twice and then lit up.
"There's electricity!"
The happiest ones are the children who have just received their new toys. With the lights on, they can play with all kinds of toys and even jump rubber bands.
Even Zhang Dachuan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, took out two decks of playing cards and said to the people around him:
"Want to play poker? The loser gets to step on the generator. If I lose, Zhang Heng will go. It's time for this kid to exercise."
"Hahaha come on, why not come."
The others also laughed and agreed.
This is the first time that Qingshan Village has been so lively since the snowstorm.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky became gray and Zhang Qiang began to count the number of people.
"If anyone has not come yet, tell me now. Once you are in the basement, don't run around. Avalanches are much scarier than mudslides."
"Secretary, everyone is here! We are so efficient!"
Xu Dazhuang shouted twice, causing his father to slap him.
"Don't embarrass yourself here, kid."
Zhang Qiang ignored Xu Dazhuang, who had "outstanding performance". There were only a dozen households in the village, and he went to each household to ask questions as he was familiar with the area.
"Li Yue, where is your eldest son?"
Li Yue is a widow, 49 years old this year, with three children. The younger one is not much older than Wang Yiran, and the older one has been working away from home for several years and only came back some time ago.
When the factory was recruiting workers, Zhang Qiang took into consideration that it would not be easy for a woman to raise several children, so he gave her one of the recruitment spots.
Now everyone is confirmed to be staying in the basement, except for Li Yue's eldest son.
"He just remembered that he hadn't caught the chickens and put them in the cellar yet, so he went home."
Li Yue felt a little embarrassed. Now that everyone in the village had settled down, something went wrong here.
"Don't worry, Secretary. He's young and quick. He'll be back soon after getting the chickens to the cellar."
"Ok."
Zhang Qiang didn't know what to say. He just looked around the factory. It was much brighter upstairs than underground, and occasionally the long-lost sunlight came in through the window.
Somehow, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Jiang Jiang was unaware of this little episode. At the time, she was happily playing Monopoly with a few other children.
Because everyone was full and had nothing to do, there was always someone on the pedal-operated generator, and whoever got tired would take over as the next one.
"Sister Jiang Jiang, pay the toll quickly!"
Wang Yiran had just stretched out his hand and Jiang Jiang still had a helpless smile on his face when a loud noise was heard and everyone's movements paused like a movie scene.
"Boom~"
The avalanche is really coming!
