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...
"How about we drink Pu'er today? It's most comfortable to drink tea at home in this weather."
As soon as Grandma Qiao opened the door, she couldn't wait to speak to Su Keke.
"I can do anything!"
Su Keke smiled. She really didn't know much about tea, so naturally all the teas she drank tasted the same.
"You kid, I asked you to come drink tea with me, why did you bring so many things!"
"Your grandmother Qiao's house has everything. Don't think that only you young people like to eat snacks. Old people like me also like to eat them!"
The big bag that Su Keke brought over contained self-heating rice, croissants, instant noodles, biscuits, strawberries, apples, bagged chicken feet, chicken legs, duck tongues and so on.
In short, there were a lot of kinds of things, as if she and Grandma Qiao were going out for a picnic.
"I went to the supermarket this morning. It was having a sale during the typhoon, and I couldn't resist buying a lot. Grandma Qiao! I only brought a little bit, and I still have a lot at home!"
Su Keke put the things down, took Grandma Qiao's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, okay! Kid, you always have so many weird reasons to send things to me."
Grandma Qiao smiled happily and pulled Su Keke into the living room.
A brown tea tray had already been placed on the coffee table, and a glass teapot was boiling water on the ceramic stove next to it.
In the jade-colored porcelain plate, several egg yolk pastries were neatly placed in the middle, and two ceramic tea cups with orchid patterns were placed on both sides of the tea table.
"Sit down quickly!" Grandma Qiao asked Su Keke to sit opposite her, and she started to get busy as soon as she sat down.
First, pour the boiling water from the glass teapot into the covered bowl in front of you.
Then put on the lid, shake the bowl gently, and then pour out the water.
"Grandma Qiao, are you washing the cups?" Su Keke, who was a layman in the tea ceremony, asked curiously.
"Haha! I guess so!"
Grandma Qiao spoke to Su Keke with a smile on her face, and continued to use a teaspoon to put a small piece of dry tea into the covered bowl, and then poured in the boiling water that had just been boiled.
After waiting for a while, Grandma Qiao poured all the tea in the covered bowl into a glass fairness cup.
Finally, he used this fairness cup to pour tea into the cup in front of Su Keke.
"Coco! If you are hungry, eat a piece of egg yolk pastry first and then drink tea! Try not to drink Pu'er tea on an empty stomach!" Grandma Qiao reminded.
"I'm not hungry, not hungry!" Su Keke waved her hands quickly.
"Then let's have a drink first! Drink more Pu'er tea for beauty and skin care!"
Looking at Su Keke opposite her, Grandma Qiao seemed to see herself when she was young, youthful and full of enthusiasm!
She has lived alone for more than thirty years since her divorce.
Occasionally, I would go out to eat and drink with friends. As for young people like Su Keke, there were really no friends in life except customers who came to the store.
Recently, she always felt that Su Keke was like a relative from her previous life, and she had a special feeling of closeness to her.
"Grandma Qiao! Have some duck tongue! It's delicious!"
"You eat first! I'll go get some cashews and pistachios. Tea goes better with nuts!"
The two of them were leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks in the living room, watching the heavy rain outside the window getting heavier and heavier.
…
At 5:30 in the evening, Meng Yi and Shi Huan, who worked at a car 4S shop, finally received the typhoon holiday notice.
As a service industry, we will never take a holiday unless there is a train raining from the sky.
There were people on duty in the store even on New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month.
"In typhoon weather like this, who would come to a 4S store for free? I guess only supermarkets would have some people."
"The store has to be open even if no one is there. After all, the boss doesn't have to punch in every day."
"Alas! We, the low-level workers, have the hardest time. We work in the wind and rain, but still earn very little money!"
In the sales hall, several salesmen were talking boredly.
"The logistics and finance departments on the second floor have been on holiday since noon, but we have to wait until six in the evening. It's really unfair!"
"In this horrible weather, do you think someone would risk their life to buy a car? Why don't we get off work earlier? This will save the company some electricity!"
"Okay! Stop complaining, it's almost six o'clock, hurry up and change your clothes and get off work!"
Shi Huan smiled and pointed at his watch. The time was already 5:48.
She quickly tidied up the desk at the front desk and planned to go to the locker room to change clothes before leaving get off work.
Meng Yi had already changed his clothes and was now sitting on the sofa in the exhibition hall, waiting to clock out.
"Let's go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables later! There is nothing at home except instant noodles and a few cucumbers." Shi Huan said.
"I'm going to buy some. I think this typhoon is different from the previous ones. I guess we'll have to take a few days off! We have to stock up on some delicious food to treat ourselves while we're at home!"
"For example, buy some beer and some snacks!"
"You only know how to prepare snacks!" Shi Huan patted Meng Yi's shoulder with his work badge, "Quickly clock in, it's time to get off work!"
As soon as the two came out of the company's underground garage, heavy rain hit the car windows. While steering, Meng Yi was thinking about what snacks to buy later.
"I think we should stock up on some practical things, such as instant noodles, mineral water, and bread. If it's windy and rainy tonight, there could be power outages and water outages at any time!"
Shi Huan was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the heavy rain outside the car, and said after thinking for a while.
"It's not that exaggerated! The typhoon two years ago was pretty strong, but the power was only out for a day. Don't be so nervous!"
Meng Yi didn't take the typhoon seriously at all, but he was still very happy to have a few days of paid leave.
At this moment, there are quite a lot of people like them going to the supermarket in the heavy rain.
Various rain gears were placed at the entrance of the supermarket, and the ground was covered with wet footprints from people stepping on it.
The cleaning lady shook her head as she looked at the people rushing into the supermarket from outside. She had just mopped the floor, how come it became so dirty again!
If the on-site manager saw this, he would blame her!
"Dear customers, please note that due to the typhoon, this supermarket will be closed at 8pm! Customers who need to shop, please go and buy as soon as possible!"
As soon as Meng Yi and Shi Huan entered the supermarket, they heard the proofing prompt sound playing in a loop.
"Luckily we got off work early. If it was 9pm, we wouldn't even be able to buy food!"
Shi Huan pulled Meng Yi, and the two of them pushed the shopping cart together and rejoiced.
"Go buy some groceries first! Then buy some instant noodles and mineral water!" Shi Huan said.
"Okay! My wife has the final say!" Meng Yi grinned and pushed the shopping cart towards the fresh food area of the supermarket.
This area has the most people, and there is a long queue in front of the weighing counter.
Each of them was holding fresh vegetables they had just purchased. They were probably people who had just got off work and hurried over to buy vegetables.
…
Chen Da and Lu Mei opened their own shop in 2003. With such strong wind and rain today, they didn't even go to the shop. This is the good thing about being your own boss.
At noon, the two of them went to the supermarket to buy a large amount of rice, flour, grain, oil, mineral water and instant noodles.
Apart from Su Keke, the couple on the 20th floor were the most stockpiling conscious. As long as there was a slight disturbance outside, they would rush to the supermarket to stock up on supplies.
They are not afraid of stockpiling too much, but they are afraid of running out of stock. It is said that this is because when Lu Mei was a child, she was trapped at home and hungry for two days due to extreme weather.
In the previous life, it was precisely because of their hoarding character that the family was able to survive the apocalypse.
Now the three of them are sitting together warmly and having dinner.
"Mom! When did Su Keke, who lives next door, move in?"
His son Chen Li asked casually while gnawing on a big chicken leg.
"Ah? Why are you asking this? Are you interested in that girl?"
When Lu Mei saw her son asking about Su Keke, her gossipy heart began to get active.
"Don't talk nonsense! I just asked casually when I met him on my way home this afternoon!" Chen Li was a little nervous and quickly buried his head in eating.
"Hey! Old Chen! Look at your son. He is always shy. Who do you think he takes after this?" Lu Mei asked with a smile.
"I really don't know about this. Neither of us is a reserved person!"
"Dad! Mom! What are you two talking about!"
