920. Chapter 920 Heavy Snow
This sudden heavy snow was a surprise at the beginning for the children in the south who had never piled up snowmen!
For Miss Tong and the others, it is inconvenient to travel. However, for the Jiangnan Provincial Government, this is a severe test. It can also be said that disaster will not only happen!
Heavy snow has caused serious disasters in the east of the ice, and congestion in the suburbs is just one of them. There are also the power lines outside being broken by heavy snow, and various tap water pipes and gas pipelines that have not taken cold protection measures have occurred one after another. These are all problems closely related to the daily lives of ordinary people.
What's more serious is that the heavy snow did not stop. According to the meteorological bureau's prediction, such weather will last five or six days later, or even longer.
Unlike the north, each city has heating. Even if there is no heating in the countryside, there is a warm kang. Sleeping on a warm kang at night, you won’t be afraid of the wind and snow outside the house. However, the sudden cooling of the south without any preparation will really freeze to death.
Miss Tong and the others lived in a five-star hotel with sufficient central heating. Apart from not being able to go out to play, they didn't feel that there was much change. However, when they saw the situation reported on TV, the two old men couldn't sit still.
"Grandpas, I don't know what else can I help if we go out except to cause congestion on the road?" Miss Tong didn't want to go out, she also wanted to go out to see the situation. But in such weather, how dare she let Mr. Ye take risks!
"Girl, if you don't want to go, stay in the hotel." Old Ye put on a wool coat, a furry hat and leather gloves, wrapped himself tightly and was about to go out.
"Girl, let's go! With us here, are you still afraid that you can't protect him?" Mr. Lin was still wearing only one Zhongshan outfit and pulled Miss Tong away.
Miss Tong was wearing the same clothes as usual at this time and didn't wear too much. She knew that she could not help but feel sorry for these two old men, so she had to hold her backpack and go out with them.
The service of the five-star hotel is indeed beautiful, and Miss Tong is their diamond-level VIP. As soon as they arrived at the lobby, the lobby manager immediately greeted him with a smile.
"A few distinguished guests are going out? Do you need to send a car?"
"Then I'll trouble the manager." Miss Tong smiled at her.
"No trouble, this is our job." The lobby manager said with a smile: "Please wait, I'll send you a car right away."
The lobby manager dared not be negligent at all. He immediately notified the driver's flight with the intercom and sent a car with the best anti-slip performance. After talking to the people in the driver's flight, the lobby manager turned around and asked, "The car has reached the door, please come with me."
When I went out, I saw a brand new off-road vehicle parked at the door, with anti-slip chains tied to the four wheels of the car. The lobby manager, who was walking behind them, quickly ran forward and opened the door for them, bowed and stood beside the car.
"Several distinguished guests please get on the bus!"
Mr. Lin took a few steps down and got into the car. Mr. Ye also walked very quickly, but just in case, Miss Tong followed him and took his arm intimately and walked with him.
Old Ye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and grinned. This girl was so kind. She knew she didn't like to caress her, so she used it. However, in Lao Lin's eyes, she probably wanted to be jealous again!
Sure enough, Mr. Lin said with a cold face: "Xiao Xin, sit in front."
"Okay!" Miss Tong took Old Ye into the car, and she went to the passenger room in front by herself.
"Customers, where are you going today?" the driver asked politely.
When she heard the sound, Miss Tong realized that although the car had changed, the driver was still the same person yesterday. It seemed that Jiutai's service was becoming more and more humane.
"My little master goes to the old city." Old Ye ordered lightly.
"Okay!" The driver got the order and drove away.
There were still snowflakes floating in the sky. In the hotel, except for some white snow on the trees, flowers and plants, the open space has been cleaned up very clean. The snowflakes that just fell also melted due to the temperature of the ground.
After leaving the hotel area, a thick layer of coarse salt had been sprinkled on the road outside. There was thick snow everywhere on both sides of the road, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road.
After driving for a while, the surrounding buildings became shorter and denser. Miss Tong knew that the old city was about to arrive.
Sure enough, the driver spoke again before he took a few steps.
"Several people, going from here and going inside is the area of the old city. I wonder which way do you want to go?"
Miss Tong replied casually: "My grandfather just wants to see if the appearance of the old city has changed. Just take us with you!"
"Okay, then let's go in from East Street and then come out from West Street!" The driver said, unable to help but ask. "Two old men, you have lived in the old city when you were young!"
"Yes!" Old Ye nodded and sighed softly: "It's been a few decades ago, and things have changed!"
"The changes in the old city are not much. I hope you can still find the wonderful memories of that year!" the young driver replied sincerely.
Old Ye smiled and nodded.
After the car entered the old city, it felt like it was entering a harbor that was completely unforgettable. They moved from East Street to West Street, and they were very calm all the way. Except for the workers who were urgently repairing circuits, water pipes, and trachea everywhere, they did not see the tragedy of freezing to death that they were worried about.
However, just as they left West Street and were about to return home, the road ahead was blocked by a cordon.
"What happened before?" Old Ye asked in a stern tone.
The driver was stunned when he heard this and quickly replied: "I'll go and ask about the situation."
"I'll go with you." Miss Tong said, pushing open the car door and jumping out of the car. She followed the driver and asked a passerby.
