Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi stayed with their parents in Yuecheng for more than a month, and it was because Sonar sent some of their work materials after returning, and the old couple had something to do, so they lived here with peace of mind.

October can indeed be regarded as a very comfortable season in Yuecheng, not too hot and cool in the morning and evening.

The villas in Lanxi Tingyuan are much more comfortable than the Pigeon Cage Apartments in Beijing. You can see the mountains and water when you go out. There are flowers, grass, insects and fish in the yard, and there are birds and insects singing as companions in the morning and evening. There is a feeling of returning to nature. It's a very comfortable place to live.

Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi strive to come back from get off work on time every day to accompany the two elders, cook for them, go for walks, climb mountains, and chat with them.

Yu Zhiwen and Yuan Qiu go out to buy vegetables every day. Both of them love to write articles, and they can also exchange some writing experience.

Yuan Qiu joined the Writers Association and is a well-known writer. She has published a lot of children's literature and prose, as well as a lot of short stories.I am currently planning to write a novel, with the reform and opening up as the background, and maybe my family as the prototype.

Yu Zhiwen mainly writes prose. Her writing skills are not as good as Yuan Qiu's, but she has a wealth of life experience and thickness, and the content she writes is also very sincere and touching.However, she has not contributed any manuscripts, but only posted them on her blog to interact with readers.

Knowing that she writes articles, Yuanqiu even asked her ID to read them. He thought it was very good and encouraged her to submit articles. He could also recommend her to familiar editors.

Yu Zhiwen was quite embarrassed: "I just wrote nonsense to pass the time by myself, and the writing was not good."

"It's very well written, sister, try it. If it is published, more readers will see it." Yuan Qiu encouraged her.

Yu Zhiwen couldn't stop his heartbeat: "Okay, I'll organize an article later, and you can polish it for me."

"no problem."

If it wasn't for the cold winter in the south, Yuan Xia really wanted the second elder to live here forever.This year's winter came very early. After entering November, the weather began to turn cold. I only wore two clothes the day before, and I would feel cold when I wore a sweater the next day.

Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi bought clothes and shoes for the elders to keep out the cold, and asked the elders not to go out at home with the air conditioner turned on.When the cold wave passed, Yuan Xia bought a sleeper ticket for the second elder, and sent the second elder on the train back to Beijing.

Yuan Xia also went with them. After all, the two elderly people who are not in good health are really not at ease to let Yu Zhiwen accompany them alone.It would be great if there is a high-speed rail, and it can be reached in a few hours. Unfortunately, there is no high-speed rail. It will take another four or five years for the high-speed rail to open.

After sending the two elders back to Beijing, Yuan Xia hurried back.There are a lot of things in the company, especially the coming cold winter, so we have to make preparations in advance. We have to prepare enough fuels such as coal and oil, and we have to prepare enough generators. Otherwise, we will not be able to start work when the power goes out. up.

Yuan Xia also bought a generator and diesel for the family, and even prepared some charcoal, fearing that there would be no power to keep warm, so he could only rely on shaking.

When Yu Xing saw that he had bought charcoal, he was a little surprised: "What are you buying so much charcoal for?"

"Wait for the children to come back during the Chinese New Year and make a barbecue for them." Yuan Xia lied to him.

Yu Xing was speechless: "Barbecue needs so much charcoal?"

"Is there too much? I see that there are only two bags left for sale, so I will take them all, and send one bag to Yuan Qiu's place for them to roast and play with." Yuan Xia said.

Since November, low temperature has become a common phenomenon. This year's cold waves are particularly frequent and the temperature drop is also large.

In late November, there was a snowfall in Yuecheng, which was almost impossible to happen in previous years, but it appeared this year, indicating that the weather this year is unusual.

But everyone didn't realize it, they just felt pleasantly surprised. Southerners seldom see snow, let alone snow so early.Yuan Xia doesn't quite remember when Xue stopped being a visitor to the south every year.

Entering December, the temperature has been consistently below 12°C. In previous years, it would be so cold around New Year's Day, but this year it was this low temperature in early December.

After New Year's Day, a long-planned snowstorm swept through more than a dozen provinces and cities in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

At first, people were happy because they hadn't seen such heavy snow for many years.Everyone was not afraid of the severe cold, and happily made snowmen and had snowball fights.

But this snow is not like the snow in previous years. It falls today and starts to melt tomorrow.It was found that the temperature dropped below zero and could not rise any more.

The snow accumulated on the ground does not melt. After the road is trampled and crushed, it melts into water, but the water turns into ice the next day.

Moreover, the snow and freezing rain are still continuing without any signs of stopping. The original snow accumulation is condensed layer by layer to become harder and thicker. The weather forecast will be such an extremely low temperature for the next week. Governments at all levels call on everyone to do Good cold and warm measures.

In the first few days, people still felt very excited, but soon, everyone found that something was wrong, the snow was piled up layer by layer, which was as tall as a man.

Moreover, there will be power outages and water cuts from time to time, because snow and ice often overwhelm trees and wires, and water pipes will also show signs of bursting due to low temperature resistance.

If you go out, you will fall on all fours if you don't pay attention. Young people are fine, but old people have problems when they fall.The car is driving on the road, and it is very easy to lose control. If you don't pay attention, it slips out, hitting people on their backs and overturning the car, causing accidents again and again.

Hospitals have seen a surge in the number of patients hospitalized due to various accidents.

As early as the first day when it snowed, Yuan Xia quickly asked the factory staff to check all exposed water pipes and faucets, and wrapped them with cotton cloth to avoid affecting everyone's water use.

The snow and ice on the road in the factory area are cleared every day to avoid danger to everyone.

The house was also carefully checked and wrapped up. Before the power outage, I bought a few packs of candles first. After all, the diesel stockpile is limited. If the power outage lasts for a long time, it is impossible to generate electricity every day.

A few days later, the disaster continued and became more and more serious.Yuanxia arranged for the company's drivers to drive forklifts to clear snow and ice on the roads in the factory and the area where the factory is located every day, so as to reduce vehicle accidents.

Since January 1th, the whole city has suffered a power outage because the high-voltage electricity towers carrying the current were crushed by snow and ice, and the entire line was paralyzed.

The power company should be the busiest during this period, and there are calls for repairs everywhere.

The factory is most afraid of a power outage, because once the power goes out, all work will have to stop.Yuanxia adopts a backup plan, using diesel engines to generate electricity for the company to start work, and at the same time constantly arranges people to go to the gas station to buy oil to make up for the lost part.

Slowly, the prices of diesel and gasoline soared all the way, and later, no matter how expensive they were, they couldn’t sell them anymore, and purchases were restricted, so they had to drive to refuel.

Because of the snowstorm, there were too many vehicle stories, all the highways were closed, and the oil could not be transported.

Those with local refineries are fine, and they can replenish it slowly. Those without refineries can only wait for the snowstorm to pass.

To make matters worse, due to the snowstorm, supplies could not be shipped out, and even food in the city became a problem.The supermarkets were almost sold out, fresh vegetables and fruits could not be replenished, they were emptied early, and some convenience foods were also robbed a lot.

Candles are the most expensive. At first, you can buy five candles for one yuan, but later you can't buy one for five yuan.

Fortunately, the city arranges people to remove snow and ice every day. Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi can return home safely, but the uphill road in Lanxi Garden is a bit troublesome, because the slope is a bit steep near the mountain, and it is icy , it is very dangerous.

At the beginning, the community used salt to remove snow, but later found that it would freeze every day, so there was not so much salt to sprinkle, so it was changed to sprinkle sand, but the sand was not enough, and people in the community had to travel. big problem.

After the power outage, Yuan Xia and Yu Xing went home twice and found it too inconvenient, so they simply brought some daily necessities and a change of clothes from home to live in the factory dormitory.

Yuanqiu's family also moved back to the house in Happy Homeland. Although the power was cut off, at least there was no threat to their lives.

For Yuan Xia, eating and drinking for the thousands of people in the factory is a big problem. Although there is no shortage of food, there is no food.Because of the slippery roads, vegetables from outside the city could not be brought in.

Yuan Xia thought of a way, asked the driver to open the road with a forklift, and asked the logistics staff to go out to buy vegetables in the vegetable fields of the vegetable farmers outside the city, and his own people had to help plan the vegetables in the ice and snow. , Cabbage carts are pulled back, the meat is a little less, but it can still be served.

This snowstorm has really affected every aspect of life.

Yuan Xia also received a call for help from the province. The high-voltage electricity tower near Yuecheng fell down. Could you borrow a crane to help rebuild it.

Of course, Yuanxia is obliged to do this, after all, it is related to his own vital interests. Although the factory has diesel generators to maintain it, it can't last long, because the oil depot built in the factory is limited, and the diesel can't last for a few days at all.

So in the days that followed, Yuanxia arranged people everywhere for rescue and relief, such as using a forklift to clear the road, arranging a crane to repair the hanging tower, and using a long-arm excavator to remove ice lumps on the wires.

Sometimes we have to rescue vehicles in accidents. All in all, the snowstorm has brought great inconvenience to everyone's life. The lack of electricity and water has destroyed the orderly life and everything is in chaos.

Before the circuit was repaired, the diesel in the factory could not hold on. On the 15th, the company had to stop production because there was no oil to generate electricity.

At this time, there are still more than 20 days before the Chinese New Year, and there are still more than half a month before their holidays in previous years.Yuan Xia is really in trouble, will he have a holiday?Don't let it go, everyone has to eat and drink in the company, which is a lot of pressure for the company, let it go, everyone will go home for the New Year at this time, the road is so dangerous, thousands of employees, in case someone has an accident, then It is also a big accident, at least a huge disaster for a family.

In the end, Yuan Xia decided to suspend work and not have a holiday. Those who live in Yuecheng City can go back and wait for the notice to start work. Those who are not here can stay in the dormitory.Those who sign up for meals at the factory will still be managed by the factory.

As for where the food comes from, everyone has to go to the vegetable fields in the suburbs. The number of logistics trips is more, and you can buy some chickens, ducks, eggs, and even some pork from the villagers. The surface of the water is frozen. If you want to eat fish, wait for the ice and snow to melt.

To be honest, living in the countryside is much better than in the city when encountering extreme weather such as snow disasters. At least there is no shortage of water or food in the countryside, and you can also burn firewood for warmth. Buying vegetables has to rely on robbing.What is even more frightening is the lack of water. The bottled water of mineral water in supermarkets and stores has been sold out.

Drinking water is a problem, let alone using it. It is no exaggeration to say that it is simply horrible.

Qu Yuan and Yuan Xi's school is already on winter vacation, and they didn't even take the final exam. Yuan Qiu went back to the villa with her husband and children.At least there, she still has a yard of ice and snow to use, and after burning, she can wash her face and flush the toilet.
