"Miss Xia, Miss Shiqi asked me to bring these vegetables and fruits. Please accept them."

Xia Shige did not refuse and took it with a smile.

After sending the nanny away, Xia Shige carried the box into the house. Then she took out a lot of fruits and vegetables from the space and piled them all over the floor.

The Xia family cleared out the refrigerated vegetables when they left, and the vegetables in the yard were killed by the heat. Xia Shige was worried about what to do with the vegetables and fruits during this period, so she couldn't just take the vegetables out directly from the space.

Now that Tang Shiqi had sent the food over, she finally had the chance to take out all the fruits and vegetables in the space. It would definitely be no problem to fill up a refrigerator.

After doing all this, Xia Shige shouted upstairs: "Grandma, Grandma Liu, Aunt, I put the dishes that Tang Shiqi sent in the living room. Please tidy them up. I'm going out first!"

Xia Shige walked all the way to Jingjing Supermarket, looking at the desert vines on the roadside. It can be seen that the property management has done a very active job in cleaning up during this period. There are not many vines growing, but there are many white insects lying on each vine.

Xia Shige walked into Jingjing Supermarket and saw out of the corner of his eye that the emergency office next to it was surrounded by people.

There are not many people in the supermarket now because it is too hot outside. People will not go out to get the sand vine cakes until the sun goes down.

Lin Jingjing saw Xia Shige coming in and greeted him happily, "Shige, you're finally back. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Xia Shige quietly took out the mutton and gave it to her, saying with a smile: "This is fresh mutton leg meat for you and Uncle Lin and Big Brother Lin to eat."

Lin Jingjing did not refuse and accepted it with a smile, then said to Xia Shige: "Don't give me these expensive things anymore, my dad and brother are not interested. When you came half a month ago, you gave us several boxes of things, all vegetables and fruits, and so many fish and shrimps, my dad and brother were scared to death, and asked me to transfer more money to you."

These things were nothing before the natural disaster, but at this moment, they are really precious.

Although the two families have become as close as one family after more than half a year of living together, as the saying goes, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly.

Xia Shige knew that the Lin family were all honest people, so he smiled and said, "My uncle and my mother don't go home at noon, and when we don't bring food, we often have to eat lunch at your place. You are being too polite."

Xia Shige asked again: "What's going on at the office? Why are all the people gathered there?"

Lin Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "It's the bug that hatched from the desert vine. These bugs have been hatching in western cities a few days ago, but we haven't started to hatch here yet."

"Half a month ago, there was a wildfire on the mountain behind our community, which caused the insects to hatch early. So our community has the most of these insects in the entire Anshi City. Because these insects can bite people, they are discussing how to prevent them."

Xia Shige thought that sand vine worms were relatively docile and would basically not hurt people on their own initiative, so many people in his previous life caught sand vine worms and took them home to make food to supplement protein.

It is true that some people are accidentally bitten while catching sand vine insects. The wound looks scary purple, but it is not actually painful. It basically goes away after a while and there is no need to go to the hospital for treatment.

After a while, the sun went down and residents of the community came to the supermarket to get their sand rattan cakes. Xia Huiyin, Xia Guocheng, and Lin Yuanfeng and his son returned to the supermarket to distribute the sand rattan cakes.

Officer Tan Zhen and several security guards were standing guard at the door. Everyone lined up in an orderly manner, chatting as they waited:

"There are more and more bugs in the community recently. It's really scary to see."

"I don't know if I can catch it and eat it. It's protein."

"Oh my god, bugs are so disgusting, aren't you afraid of getting bitten?"

"Why is it disgusting? It is said that many wild animals have become extinct due to high temperatures and lack of water. It is rare to see insects that can still survive and reproduce. I just think they are all beautiful."

"Yeah, if you think bugs are disgusting, then why did you come to get the sand rattan biscuits? Do you think there are no bugs in these sand rattan biscuits?"

"Why can't I receive it? I always eat with my eyes closed. Out of sight, out of mind. As long as I can't see it, it doesn't exist."

"Most of these insects are lying on desert vines. What if they get pricked by desert vines when trying to catch them?"

“…”

Xia Shige listened to the chatter of the crowd and turned to the emergency office next door, where Officer Zheng Xin was on duty.
