On the tenth day of the apocalypse, Su Keke was forcibly driven out of her home by her adoptive parents and sister. The reason was to reduce one person's consumption of supplies, even though Su...
"What are you laughing at? Don't you see that everyone in the living room is talking about serious matters?"
Du Huairen couldn't help but scold his disappointing eldest son.
"Butler Song, take the book from him!"
Du Huairen pointed at the comic in Du Yichen's hand and signaled Butler Song to take it away quickly.
"Dad! What are you doing? Didn't you ask me to stay here? Now you think I'm in the way!"
"Isn't it just a matter of changing some drinking water? Why are you so nervous? I don't think it has anything to do with me, so I'll leave first!"
Du Yifan muttered to himself and quickly slipped away before his old man got angry.
"You..." Du Huairen jumped up from the sofa, his head almost smoking with anger.
Things are different now than before the natural disaster. In the past, he turned a blind eye to the rebellious son Du Yifan's idleness and laziness.
It's the end of the world now. If the Du family goes bankrupt one day in the future, who will still pamper him like this?
"Dad! Don't be angry. My brother has always been like this. You know that! Be careful. Anger can hurt your health!"
Du Yichen quickly stood up and helped the old man sit down.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Du Huairen calmed down and realized that he had been a little rude. He quickly calmed himself and returned to the topic.
"No! No!" Su Keke picked up the tea that Butler Song poured for them, took a sip and said.
The few of them talked back and forth for more than ten minutes, and finally Su Keke exchanged 5 tons of water for half a truck of protective clothing from the Du family.
At first, Mr. Du proposed that half a truckload of protective clothing be exchanged for 10 tons of water. Su Keke felt that he was taking advantage of her.
It is extremely hot now and there is no epidemic or infectious disease. Protective clothing is not worth much. Drinking water is more scarce than food now. Su Keke certainly can't agree to it. No one is a fool!
Mr. Du was smart enough to think that Su Keke urgently needed this batch of protective clothing, so he raised the price.
Unexpectedly, Su Keke didn't care at all. She said directly, "10 tons of water is impossible! Just 5 tons! If you can accept it, then trade. If not, forget it!"
Seeing that Su Keke didn't seem to care about this batch of protective suits at all, Mr. Du lowered his target from 10 tons to 8 tons, and then from 8 tons to 6 tons. In the end, he still gave in to Su Keke and the deal was made for 5 tons.
Even though the air conditioner in the living room was turned on high, Mr. Du was still sweating. He had never been manipulated like this in his life when doing business.
Su Keke said that she could not provide 5 tons of water in one day and it had to be completed over 5 days.
She asked the Du family to provide a small truck and put a plastic barrel that could hold one ton of water on the truck. Every evening she would drive the truck out and bring back one ton of water.
You can also pick up the half truck of protective clothing after you finish transporting the water for five days.
"I believe in you. You can pick up the protective suits tonight."
Du Huairen, contrary to his usual bargaining behavior, said directly that Su Keke could take the things she wanted first, and he would prepare a small truck tomorrow and wait for Su Keke to come and transport the first day's water.
"Okay! Thank you, old man!"
Su Keke still doesn’t understand why Mr. Du suddenly becomes so easy to talk to.
However, since this was apparently a beneficial and harmless thing for her, Su Keke of course agreed to it.
"Dad! Is this...really okay?"
Du Yicheng almost said, "Dad, aren't you afraid that Su Keke will not keep his word?"
In fact, he was right. Now was the end of the world. How much credit was worth? Or was it worth a few points or a few mouthfuls of food? He was really worried that Su Keke would take away the protective suit, and the water he wanted would not be in place.
"It's okay!" Du Huairen simply replied to his son and asked Butler Song to drive the truck to deliver the protective clothing to Villa No. 5.
After Su Keke and Grandma Qiao left, Du Huairen told Du Yichen what he was thinking.
He wanted to wait for Su Keke to go out to transport water, and then have someone secretly follow him. Only when they had control over the water exchange channel, they could kick Su Keke out and trade directly with the other party.
Du Huairen has been in the business world for so many years, how could he be controlled by a little girl!
…
Time quickly came to the evening of the next day, and Su Keke drove an off-road vehicle to Du Huairen's Villa No. 1 alone.
A small convertible truck had already been prepared for Su Keke. Su Keke said hello to the old man and drove the truck out of the Arashiyama villa area.
Mr. Du has asked two of his men to stand by the gate. As soon as the small truck driven by Su Keke comes out, they will follow it, keeping as far a distance as possible and making sure not to be discovered.
"What kind of crappy car is this? The air conditioner is broken?"
Su Keke frowned and complained.
The temperature in the evening was close to 40 degrees. It would be hot to death if I drove this truck without air conditioning! In order to avoid being burned to death, Su Keke planned to find a deserted place after going down the mountain and put the truck into the space to collect water.
But just as she had this thought, she found a car following her from a distance. Even if she slowed down to a snail's pace, the car behind her would not dare to overtake.
"Do you want to follow me to find a water supply channel?" Su Keke's mouth corners slowly rose, thinking that this old man Du has a good plan.
"What a pity! I am also the water supply channel behind the scenes that you are looking for!"
Su Keke looked at the rearview mirror and talked to herself.
After getting off Lanshan, Su Keke stopped for a while on purpose, and the car behind him also stopped for a while. Now there was no car passing by on the road all night, so it was obvious that there was a car behind him.
The weather was too hot and Su Keke was too lazy to go around with them. She suddenly sped up and in a blink of an eye she was out of the sight of the vehicles behind her, then she parked the car directly into the space.
The small truck was parked outside the capsule house. Su Keke went to the second floor and connected a water pipe and pulled it down, so that water could be directly poured into the plastic bucket on the truck.
It took some time to fill the one-ton bucket of water. Without saying a word, Su Keke went to the basement and got a handful of roasted duck intestines, a roasted rice cake, two crispy roasted sausages, and finally a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
Holding the skewers in both hands, he ate leisurely leaning against the second-floor window.
Here you can see the water collection in the bucket below. When the water below is full, Su Keke will directly turn off the faucet on the second floor. There is no need to unplug the water pipe, because it will be connected for four consecutive days anyway.
After Su Keke had eaten and drunk enough in the space, he drove a small truck full of water out of the space from another place.
"Hey! Isn't this the small truck that our master arranged? How come it's coming back from the opposite direction after just a while?"
"Could it be filled with water? It only took a blink of an eye. From the time the car disappeared to the time it reappeared on the opposite side not far away, did it take two minutes?"
While the two were still thinking about it, Su Keke's truck had already driven away for a long distance.
