?Chapter 194: Chapter 194: The Sense of Abstinence Chapter 194: Chapter 194: The Sense of Abstinence Qiao Qingyu held He Xiuyu’s briefcase, while He Xiuyu was carrying two large bags, entering the gate of the family courtyard. Just a few steps in, everything around suddenly turned pitch black, then they heard the guard at the door saying, “The power is out.”

The base now generates its own electricity. These days, power supply all across Huaxia is very tight—a power outage is a common occurrence.

What Qiao Qingyu remembered most vividly was the evening of New Year’s Eve when she was ten years old. The Qiao Family Team had just gotten electricity; before that, they always celebrated the New Year by candlelight. It was the first time they had electric lights, and the villagers were thrilled.

However, just as everyone was making dumplings, the power suddenly went out, plunging them into darkness. Everyone scrambled to light candles and oil lamps, but such lights were never as good as the electric bulbs hanging from the ceiling. Out of habit, everyone rushed outside, only to see that Hejia Village across the river was brightly lit. Only then did they realize that it was only the Qiao Family Team that had lost power.

The Qiao Family Team had an electrician who was on duty in the control room. When Sun Dazhang, the team leader, found him, he simply said the circuit was broken. Fixes would have to wait until daylight.

The people were extremely disappointed. They had finally gotten electricity for a bright New Year’s celebration, yet they still had to use oil lamps while the electric lights were out, which was frustrating.

The old circuit breakers really were quite similar to knife switches.

Then, Uncle Qiao noticed something seemed off with the circuit breaker. In his memory, it was supposed to face upwards, but it had flipped downwards. He quietly informed Sun Dazhang. After all, they weren’t electricians. Even the team leader didn’t dare to tamper with it lightly—unknown things always brought a certain inexplicable fear.

At that time, Sun Dazhang had just taken office and had a few people at his disposal, so he had Uncle Qiao drive a tractor to fetch the electrician from the commune.

Then, with a simple push upward on the circuit breaker by the electrician, the entire village lit up again.
