Chapter 111: The Onset of Extreme Cold

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: The Onset of Extreme Cold

"Extra, extra! The old lady from the fifteenth floor has fallen and is cursing people in the hallway right now."

Jhiang Yuan tsked, never expecting retribution to come this swiftly.

Serves her right!

"Is it that old lady, or is there someone else?"

"Just her by herself. More wrongdoing will lead to self-destruction!"

It was good news, but no one carried on discussing the topic.

To waste walkie-talkie battery on such an irrelevant person seemed foolish.

That old lady was as shrewd as they come; how could she not know what was going on?

She was just too afraid to come and settle accounts. Later on, if they crossed paths, they would still need to properly resolve things.

Jhiang Yuan really treasured her life at the moment; she knew that when the extreme cold arrived and everyone realized that life would not only fail to improve but would get worse, she would lose her peace of mind.

Next to her was her daughter, sweet and warmly cuddled up, a tiny bundle of cuteness.

Her gaze softened as she looked at her, "Baby, in this life, Mommy will definitely protect you well."

She slept until eight in the evening, and Xiao Nuan miraculously hadn’t woken up either.

Perhaps she did wake, but seeing her mother still asleep, she just continued to sleep as well.

Qin Yue came over to call the two of them for dinner; they still needed to eat.

Jhiang Yuan slept well and was in a good mood.

She planned to take out the packages from the space and unpack them.

There was a small balcony in the master bedroom, where she had previously stored some woven bags.

All sorts of trivial, unimportant things were inside, just in case she needed to take something out later and needed a plausible excuse.

That way, she wouldn’t arouse her parents’ suspicion, and now the items would come in handy.

For safety, she decided to put the packages into bags before taking them out.

The bedroom curtains were usually drawn. Even though Qin Yue often visited, she didn’t know how much stuff was actually behind them.

"Goodness, girl, why do you have so many packages?"

Jhiang Yuan scratched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

She dumped everything onto the floor. The house had only kept space for the dining table before.

Later, after teaming up with Song Yi and others.

Many things were moved, but the living room was still packed full.

This was one reason why she didn’t want everyone to come over to her place.

"Dad, Mom, these are collected from previous outings, I’ve been saving them up myself. They all know I took some packages, but they probably didn’t realize there were so many."

She hadn’t taken out all the packages; doing so would have definitely shocked her parents.

Qin Yue came over with scissors, as unpacking packages was something women were always interested in.

Xiao Nuan was no exception. Plus, these weren’t purchased by her, making it feel like opening blind boxes.

Jhiang Xingzhi, unable to catch a cold, helped take care of the packaging bags and cardboard boxes instead.

The goods came in all varieties: clothes, toys, everyday items, and snacks—everything imaginable.

"Dad, don’t throw away that box. We’ll keep it for starting a fire later."

"You got it!"

Jhiang Xingzhi was quick and neat, arranging the cardboard neatly and bundling it together.

With this little interlude, life wasn’t too boring.

Jhiang Yuan followed Qin Yue to check on the mushroom sticks she was growing in a styrofoam box; the outside temperature was too low, but it was warmer inside.

If they turned on the electric heater, placing the box next to it could help a bit.

There were already quite a few mushrooms on top, including oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms.

It would be possible to pick them now.

But Qin Yue’s idea was to let them grow for two more days, so they could grow bigger and there would be more to eat.

Jhiang Yuan felt shy and immediately returned to the space to arrange the mushroom sticks.

With suitable climate and proper humidity, they would grow quickly.

Having slept a lot during the day, she didn’t feel like sleeping at night, while Xiao Nuan was okay, her biological clock quite regular.

Jhiang Yuan took out her tablet and happily started watching "Journey to the West."

Those people outside, aren’t they all demons and monsters, Brother Monkey fighting is worth watching.

...

In the middle of the night, she was woken up by the cold.

Good lord, even the hot water bottle had gone cold, and it felt like her teeth were fighting each other.

This was, a drop in temperature.

Xiao Nuan was also not doing too well, the breath she exhaled had already frosted her eyelashes despite the multiple blankets she was covered with at night.

Jhiang Yuan’s heart trembled, and she quickly went to feel her daughter.

Fortunately, apart from her hands and feet being ice-cold, everything else was fine.

The child woke up from all this commotion.

She looked somewhat unhappy, "Mommy!"

"Xiao Nuan be good, don’t cry, Mommy is right here."

With that, she took out a triple cotton-padded sleepwear and wrapped her daughter in it completely.

She didn’t dare wait, and quickly went out to check on her father and mother.

"Dad, Mom, wake up..."

A series of knocks resounded, and Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue also got up.

Good lord, now speaking was enough to freeze one’s teeth.

"How did it get so cold suddenly? It’s like those late evenings during the coldest days back in our hometown."

"Exactly, it’s already minus twenty-two degrees."

There was an indoor thermometer in the living room, and now the red mark was particularly obvious.

Their home was to the north, and this temperature was a yearly occurrence, but usually only during the night.

West City was different; there, winters were survived at minus five or six degrees, and homes all had floor heating and such.

Many people probably couldn’t handle this.

"Dad, the heating in our room has gone cold, could it be that the storage battery is out of charge?"

The matter concerning his daughter and granddaughter was of utmost importance, and Jhiang Xingzhi did not delay, rushing to check.

Sure enough, that was the case; replacing the new storage battery was just a matter of plugging in a new fuse.

Qin Yue also quickly took out the electric heating blanket and laid it out on both beds.

Jhiang Yuan had previously bought many constant temperature clothes, which she now insisted everyone wear to bed.

Ordinary sleepwear just wasn’t sufficient any longer.

Indeed, once the constant temperature clothes were put on, it felt immediately better.

On top of that, wearing triple cotton-padded sleepwear, and even more exaggeratedly, her father actually took out a military overcoat.

Her mother started boiling water, and all the electric hot water bottles were also charged and put to use.

After all the commotion, they finally returned to their beds.

Oh no, how could she have forgotten about the others.

Jhiang Yuan smacked her forehead and quickly turned on the intercom.

To her surprise, an anxious voice came through, "Jhiang Yuan, Jhiang Yuan, the temperature has dropped, get up quickly..."

It was Song Yi.

It seemed that he had also noticed.

"Received, received. Zhang Kaiyang, Mianmian, how are you guys doing? Please respond if you hear me."

She quickly called out to the other two, but regrettably, there was no response for a long time; they must have turned it off.

Just as she was about to go downstairs and knock on doors, Zhang Kaiyang’s trembling reply came through.

That voice, one could tell he was trembling from the cold.

"I’ve felt it, and I’m going to check on Ye Mianmian."

He had gotten up to go to the bathroom, and was now also anxious.

Ye Mianmian was actually okay; Grandma Ye had already woken up.

Not knowing why it was so cold, she had covered her granddaughter with both their clothes.

Jhiang Yuan sighed in her heart; now that everyone was awake, everything would be alright.

The fear was, if they had slept straight through, that would have been truly terrifying.
