Natural Disaster: My Portable Farm in the End of the World

At around five o'clock the next morning, Han Dongdong got up and prepared to leave. Xiang Chi thought that the weather would get hotter soon, so he didn't stop him.

After having a simple breakfast, Xu Ge drove to see Xu Tao and Han Dongdong off.

Because he left the car in Xu Tao's motorcade yard yesterday, Xu Ge drove Xu's father's car today.

After sending the key protection target Han Dongdong home, Xu Ge, Xiang Chi, and Xu Tao came to the motorcade compound again.

As early as last month, Xu Tao stopped the logistics business. All employees took vacations and changed teams.

Now the yard is empty, except for four 9.5-meter large trucks parked. The carriage was wrapped tightly with tarpaulin.

Xu Ge and Xiang Chi looked at each other, somewhat admiring Xu Tao's courage to put so many things here.

Xu Tao said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Who would have thought that there would be tons of food in the motorcade compound?

And this was only a small part, and more was quietly transported to warehouses in the outer suburbs.

Good guy, Xiang Chi calls him a good guy, he is still a boss with a lot of scheming, and he also knows the three holes of a cunning rabbit.

After picking up the car, Xiang Chi and Xu Ge each drove one and rushed home quickly because it was too hot! hot! Got it!

It was only around eight o'clock in the morning, and the temperature had already reached thirty-seven degrees. The asphalt road was almost melting under the scorching sun. .

The tires brought up a piece of asphalt and made a "sizzling" sound.

While waiting at the traffic light, several fire trucks roared past. I don’t know where the fire started again.

There have been frequent fire accidents recently, and probably the busiest people besides hospitals are the fire brigade.

The temperature once exceeded 45 degrees, and many outdoor circuits were aging rapidly. Several transformers in the old city area exploded.

The fire was put out quickly, but the transformer was scrapped. Although the Electric Power Bureau tried its best to repair the problem, the power was still out for ten hours.

Normally, it is not harmful to have the power turned off for ten hours, but now every household cannot do without air conditioners, fans, and refrigerators.

During this power outage, my home felt like a steamer, which was even more uncomfortable than being outside.

Several elderly people went to the hospital because of heatstroke, and some of them were in poor health and just left.

The family members of one family, whether because they really couldn't accept the death of the old man or for some other reason, published a post on the Internet about the power bureau's inaction and the equipment being in disrepair and shutting down the power supply for ten hours, which led to the death of the old man.

Once uploaded, it immediately sparked heated discussions.

Many netizens have taken sides. Some support the rights protection of the elderly family members, some suspect the family members of extorting money, some join in scolding the government for its inaction, and some are waiting to take advantage of the situation...

Anyway, there were divergent opinions, and people from all walks of life felt that what they said was right, which triggered a series of scoldings.

Maybe it’s because people have nothing to do after the shutdown and spend all day squatting on the Internet. Maybe it’s because the weather has been too hot recently and has made people impetuous. In short, people are very angry now. The slightest friction will lead to all kinds of scolding. Voice.

Xu Ge and Xiang Chi go online every day to follow government-related news, and naturally they have not missed several "intense" debates among netizens.

In this regard, Xu Ge said that they were all free, and if they had this free time, it would be better to go pick an acre of corn.

……

There are very few cars on the road now, especially during the nine or ten o'clock time period.

The couple took on the attitude of a decisive battle in Qiu Mingshan, and it was difficult for Xu Ge to pull Xu's father's "big mom car" Carla up to the speed of the AE86.

After all, it is an old car that is more than ten years old. One kilometer away from the community, the old car finally couldn't hold on.

Xu Ge sensed something was wrong and immediately slowed down. Before he could come to a complete stop, he saw wisps of white smoke coming out from under the front hood.

Xu Ge found a shady place, parked the car, and immediately got out of the car and started spraying the fire extinguisher in the car.

In less than a minute, Xiang Chi drove over.

"squeak--"

Seeing Xu Ge using the fire extinguisher, Xiang Chi swung his tail anxiously.

In just a minute, Xu Ge was already sweating profusely from the heat, and the skin on the back of his neck was already slightly red.

Xiang Chi quickly got out of the car with a parasol and cooling spray.

As soon as I got off the car, I was hit by a wave of heat.

After walking a few steps to Xu Ge's side and spraying almost half a bottle of cooling spray in one go, the two of them felt a little more comfortable.

Before Xiang Chi could ask anything, Xu Ge pulled Xiang Chi back to his car.

Sitting in the car, when the air conditioner turned on, the two of them took a deep breath of comfort and shuddered together.

After just a few minutes outside, the two of them were so hot that they were sweating profusely.

Xu Ge turned down the air conditioner and started the car.

Xiang Chi: "What should I do with dad's car? Is there any problem if I just leave it like this?"

Xu Ge: "It's okay, there are few people here. And I parked in the corner. Dad's car hasn't been modified yet, so it's a big honor to be able to drive here. I think the engine is overheating. I'll deal with it later in the evening. Now. It’s too hot, let’s go home quickly.”

Upon hearing this, Xiang Chi felt relieved knowing that the problem was not too big.

Looking at Xu Ge's red neck, Xiang Chi felt a little distressed. He took out a cold compress and put it on the back of Xu Ge's neck.

Since the weather has gotten hotter, Xiangchi has been carrying a parasol, a small fan, cooling spray and cold compresses with him every time he goes out in case of emergencies.

This time I used them all.

After a while, the two people arrived home.

Parking the car under the sunshade net in the yard, the two people quickly ran into the house.

Father Xu and Father Xiang tried to grow vegetables in the yard but failed, so they put up the sunshade net.

Now in the yard of the bungalow, a thick layer of sunshade net is laid two and a half meters above the ground. Covered the entire yard.

Apart from the ugly points and lack of ventilation, it is still very effective. The sunshade net greatly reduces direct sunlight, so that you can walk around freely in the yard without fear of sunburn.

After the neighbors saw what Xu Ge's family did, they imitated them one after another. Now in the community, almost every single-family house has a sunshade net.

Fortunately, people in the community bought it early. Now the sunshade net has become one of the most popular supplies, and it is no longer available to ordinary people.

Because the temperature is rising, this year's grain and vegetable production reduction is already visible.

In order to save food production, under the leadership of the government, a large number of sunshade nets were laid on the farmland around Dancheng.

Including the vegetable planting base in Hexi Village, people from the Agriculture Committee also came to calculate the area of ​​shading nets required by each household.

Because Xu Ge's greenhouse was a smart temperature-controlled greenhouse, Xu Ge and Xiang Chi spent a lot of money to install insulating reflectors and solar panels on all three greenhouses later that year.

Most of the demolition money was spent here, so his house didn't need a sunshade net.

Because of Xu Ge's proactive notification, Director Liao of the Agriculture Committee came to meet Xu Ge in person.

After meeting him, he praised Xu Ge for his talent. Not only was he good-looking, but he also had high ideological consciousness and good moral character.

Xiang Chi still wondered why such a trivial matter deserved the attention of the leaders of the Agriculture Committee who were busy recently.

Later, when I inquired about it, I found out that most of the growers had quoted a larger area as soon as they heard that the government would fund the laying of sunshade nets. Some actually quoted two or three times the actual amount!

Xiang Chi shook his head when he found out. These people, well, it's time for them. It doesn't matter if they can't help. Don't cause trouble.

No wonder Director Liao values ​​Xu Ge's "clean flow" so much...
