末世 二三 事

When I arrived at the property management box in the community, Jing Lin asked when the call would come. The property management said that they didn’t know yet, as if a large area of ​​their area had a power outage, and unfortunately the generator was also broken, and they were looking for someone to repair it today.

Several owners came to inquire one after another, so Jing Lin had no choice but to hold Lele's hand and go to the breakfast stall next to the community to eat breakfast, and then went to the nearby bus station to wait for the bus.

It takes Jinglin more than half an hour to take the bus from the community to the company location. He feels that there are especially many people today. In the past, the bus was full of people only halfway, but it was full at the second stop today. People who know each other chat with each other. Looking at the sky, talking about how hard it was because of the power outage last night.

Lele sat on Jing Lin's body, and Jing Lin protected him from being bumped by people jostling around, and went all the way to the company in silence.

When I arrived at the company, I found that there was no electricity.The company Jing Lin works for is on the twelfth floor of the building. There is no electricity and they can only climb the stairs. Along the way, people from other companies saw Jing Lin holding a child, but they are not familiar with them.

Jing Lin is a relatively homely person, sitting in the office all year round, rarely exercising, and climbing up to the twelfth floor restlessly all the way, feeling like his heart is about to pop out of his chest.

The company clocks in at nine o’clock every day, and it’s only around [-]:[-] a.m. There are not many people who arrive at the company. Child, those who know him well know that it is his nephew.

Seeing Lele's curly hair, delicate face, and well-behaved appearance, several female colleagues from Jinglin Company immediately came over to amuse Lele with the snacks they usually store in the office.But Lele is introverted and shy, and keeps hiding in Jing Lin's arms.Jing Lin took the snacks from the female colleague, said thank you, and patted Lele on the back to let him not be afraid.

The female colleague asked Jing Lin, "Did the power go out last night?"

Jing Lin nodded.

He has always been a taciturn image in the company, but because he is tall and good-looking, although his attitude looks cold, the female colleague is quite willing to talk to him, "The place I rented had a power outage last night, and it was still on this morning." The water is cut off, the water in the water dispenser that I use for washing in the morning.”

Jing Lin frowned. Although the water hadn't been cut off in his place this morning, if he didn't call again tonight, he wondered if the water would be cut off as well.Forget about power outages in summer, but water cuts are really hard.

Colleagues climbed up one after another, most of them were like fish out of water, sitting on their seats and gasping for breath.

The number of people gradually increased, and those who were still catching up on sleep also woke up, and everyone got together to discuss the power outage.Probably such a large-scale power outage is rare. When everyone complained that the power outage was inconvenient, they were inexplicably excited, saying that they should not have to go to work today. Those who came late saw the notice from the property management at the entrance of the building. The cause of the power outage is unknown, the generator is also broken and is still being repaired, and the time of the call is also unknown.

There were quite a lot of people who were late today, and Jing Lin's supervisor was late. It was past ten o'clock when he arrived at the company, and many colleagues had already gone back since they hadn't called.The supervisor said that the cell phone ran out of battery last night, and the alarm didn't ring. Last night, he didn't sleep well because of the heat. He didn't fall asleep until dawn, and he overslept.

After the supervisor arrived at the company, because today happened to be Friday, they were asked to rest for three days in a row. The electricity will definitely be available on Monday, and they will go back to work normally then.

After leaving the company, Jing Lin took Lele directly to the bus home. The first thing he did when he got home was to see if there was any water cut-off in the community, and he was relieved when he found that there was no water cut-off.But he was still worried, and hurriedly filled the two plastic buckets that were usually used to wash clothes at home with water and put them in the kitchen.The two buckets are not big, and the two buckets of water are only enough for him and Lele to take a bath, so they decided to go out and buy a bigger one.

Jing Lin first went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables for lunch and dinner, and then went to a grocery store near the community to buy water buckets. He chose a super-large 150L stainless steel soup bucket to go back to fill the water, and bought two by the way. Candles and two fans.Because the bucket was too big, and it was still a little far away from the community, it was not easy to take it back, so I called a taxi.

After arriving at the gate of the community, Jing Lin threw the vegetables and candles into the bucket, and asked Lele to hold him by the hem of his clothes, and slowly moved the bucket upstairs by himself.

The kitchen is relatively small, so Jing Lin put the bucket in the corner of the living room, and used the original two small buckets to fill the soup bucket with water. In the weather in July, there is no fan or air conditioner. Even if you just sit there without doing anything, you will be hot and sweaty. Jing Lin’s hair was wet when he brought the bucket home. Now he is in While pouring water beside him, Lele stood where he would not be in the way, holding a newly bought fan in his hand and fanning Jing Lin vigorously in a very sensible way.

After finally filling all three buckets with water, Jing Lin felt that he was already too hot, so he spent a few minutes boiling a pot of bath water, took off his and Lele's clothes, and took a pleasant bath , the time is almost 12 o'clock, at this time, Jing Lin's mobile phone has run out of battery and turned off.

For lunch, Jing Lin didn't want to stir-fry vegetables, so he took out the meat he bought and put it in the water, and cut it. Two kitchen knives took turns to chop it into stuffing quickly, beat the egg white and starch, and then washed the water spinach. I simply made a meatball soup for the two of them for lunch. After eating, Jing Lin took the mat that the two usually slept on to the floor of the living room, read a book for himself, and brought a drawing book for Lele. Look, when you are tired from watching, lie down on the mat and take a nap.

The afternoon was spent like this, and in the evening Jing Lin went out to buy some ribs and came back. Although the electricity was out, the ribs on display still looked fresh.

For dinner, I cooked rice and stewed pork ribs with a piece of bitter gourd I bought during the day. In summer, I eat bitter gourd to reduce the fire.Maybe it's his nephew, Uncle Xiao. Jinglin likes to eat bitter gourd, and Lele also likes to eat bitter gourd very much. It's completely different from other children who hate bitter gourd.Before dinner, Jing Lin picked up a few soaked cowpeas from the glass jar. In summer, it is hot and people tend to lose their appetite. Sour things like this are actually very appetizing.

After eating and taking a bath, the sky has turned dark.The temperature was not as high as during the day, and there was a breeze.Jing Lin took a fan bought during the day, led Lele downstairs, and walked to the park near the community as if taking a walk after dinner.

There are no lights on the road, only the lights of cars going back and forth.There are many people who come out for a walk after dinner in the park, including those with children, those who walk their dogs, and a group of grandparents who are singing and dancing.

It's quite entertaining.

Jing Lin took Lele to sit on the bench by the park and looked at the crowd around him, slowly shaking the fan in his hand.

After resting outside for almost two hours, Lele had already fallen asleep lying on Jing Lin's lap.There were not many people around, Jing Lin hugged Lele in his arms and prepared to go back.

Climbing all the way up to the sixth floor, just as the door opened, another gust of hot air hit, but it wasn't too uncomfortable.Taking out the lighter that was always in his pocket, Jing Lin found the candle that was specially placed on the cabinet in the entrance before going out, lit it, and carried the candle into the room.

Before going out, Jing Lin had already lit the mosquito coils, and there must be no more mosquitoes in the room now, so Lele's stomach was covered with a thin blanket, and Jing Lin himself changed into his pajamas and climbed into bed.

He still didn't sleep well at night, and was always woken up by the heat. In the morning, when Jing Lin was still sleepy, he was suddenly woken up by Lele.

Jing Lin opened his eyes and looked at Lele, Lele was sitting beside him, his hands were constantly scratching around his body, he saw red bumps the size of mung beans on his arms and legs exposed outside his pajamas, just Even on the face and neck.

Obviously these bumps are very itchy, Lele scratched and said to him with a crying sound: "Uncle, I am very itchy."
