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...
Affected by the super typhoon Mersa, the city has experienced heavy rain for seven consecutive days. According to the weather forecast, such stormy weather will continue in the next few days. Please prepare for typhoon and flood prevention and stay at home unless necessary.
"Luckily I moved all the cat food upstairs. If this kind of heavy rain continued for a few more days, the first floor would definitely be flooded."
Qian Xiaoluo was holding the stray cat that he had rescued in the store, standing in front of the second-floor window, staring outside in a daze.
There is a wide road in front of her pet shop. This time used to be the morning rush hour, with heavy traffic and people coming and going. Now there is nothing but large areas of stagnant water.
"Oh! This weather is so depressing. If I don't open the shop now, I'll be starving for the next month!"
Qian Xiaoluo's pet shop has only been open for half a year, and the initial investment was quite large, basically all the money he earned from working in the past few years was invested in it.
Beep, beep! Beep, beep! The phone in my hand started to ring.
"Xiao Luo! There's been a typhoon these days and we have nothing to eat at home. Your place is close to a supermarket, go buy some food and have it delivered to our home!"
It was a call from my mother, Shen Sanmei.
"Mom! Didn't I just give you 2,000 yuan a week ago? I also told you there was a typhoon and asked you to prepare more food. How come it's gone so quickly?"
Qian Xiaoluo was a little annoyed. Whenever her mother called her, she either said that the family had no money or that her younger brother Qian Jin had gotten into trouble outside again.
With such a strong typhoon, her mother never worried about whether her daughter was in danger outside or whether she should return home.
"Of course I saved the money! How can I spend it all? Your brother will get married in the future! You should not open a pet store. It would be great if you could use this much money to give your brother a down payment on a house!"
On the other end of the phone, Shen Sanmei started complaining again about Qian Xiaoluo having the money but not buying a house for her brother.
"Mom! Can we not talk about this?"
It was obviously the money I saved after working hard for ten years, so what's wrong with using it to open a store? Does the elder sister have to take on all the responsibilities of the parents?
Qian Xiaoluo was so angry that she wanted to hang up the phone. Her mother always kept nagging her, "Buy a house for your brother, find a wife for him."
What about Qian Xiaoluo's own life? Who will be responsible for it?
She is already 30 years old and has never eaten good food or worn good clothes. Every month, she has to transfer 2,000 yuan of living expenses to her mother's card without fail.
"Didn't I just ask you to buy some food? Why is your temper getting worse and worse?" Shen Sanmei started to criticize Qian Xiaoluo again.
"Which supermarket is open right now? Find me one and I'll buy it for you right away!"
Qian Xiaoluo also got angry. She repeatedly told them to stock up on food in case of a typhoon, but they didn't listen. Now she was asked where to buy food.
"Xiao Luo! You can't just ignore me and your brother! We have no food at home, Qian Jin and I are going to starve to death!" Shen Sanmei continued to complain on the phone, completely ignoring Qian Xiaoluo's difficulties.
"Got it, stop shouting! I still have some food in my store, I'll send it to you when the rain stops."
Qian Xiaoluo hung up the phone after she finished speaking. She was afraid that she would go crazy if she continued talking to her mother.
With family members like this who always hold her back, I don’t know when her life will end.
…
I am single and I am happy: "If anyone has food at home, I will pay double the price!"
Hope Field: "With the current situation outside, those who have food reserves are probably hoarding it for themselves. Who needs your few dollars?"
I am single and I am happy: "Do you have food stored or something? If not, stop talking!"
Hope Tianye: "I'm telling the truth, if you're not convinced, come and hit me!"
The residents' group started to get lively again. Su Keke still didn't say anything, and occasionally came up to take a look to pass the time.
Today is already the seventh day of the typhoon, and the wind and rain outside still show no sign of stopping. Shopping malls and companies everywhere have closed down and ceased operations.
People who have stayed at home for a week have gone from cheering at the beginning to being anxious now.
The food reserves at home are getting less and less. I have money but nowhere to buy it. Even if I have a place to buy it, I dare not go out.
The wind was so strong that thin people had to squat when walking, or they would be blown to the ground if they were not careful.
Su Keke saw several people upstairs, who were unable to move due to the strong wind at the entrance of the community.
"Oh my god! Someone give me a hand! I can't hold on any longer!"
A tall and thin man was hugging a big tree by the roadside and shouting like a pig being slaughtered.
"I just fell into the water. Now I'm soaked and feel a little heavier. The wind can't blow me away."
"See you in the water, bro!"
They are all young people who have not stocked up food at home. They can still joke even in such a situation. They have a really good mentality!
Su Keke silently gave them a thumbs up!
Hua Kai Fu Gui: "You two stop arguing, everyone has problems! Hey young man, come to your auntie's place, I still have some food in stock."
I'm single and I'm happy: "Really? Thank you so much, Auntie! I'll send you a private message right now!"
Lao Wang next door: "I have nothing to eat either, I'll go to your house upstairs to buy some too!"
Surfing expert: "I'll buy some too! Please leave some for me!"
Mask lady: "Do you want masks? Buy ten boxes of masks and get a box of instant noodles for free."
Surfing expert: "Mask lady, this is a rip-off. Buy ten boxes of masks and you only get one box of instant noodles for free."
Mask Lady: "Supplies are so scarce right now, I'm lucky enough to be able to send you a box of instant noodles. If you don't buy it, there are plenty of people who will!"
Su Keke sat on the sofa and watched Tangyuan running around in the living room.
Thinking back to my previous life, I am still in that house. I only have one small piece of bread every day. Su Jianming and Ye Ya hide all the supplies in the house in their own room.
She was really hungry at that time! But now everything is over, and the food she has stockpiled is enough for her and Grandma Qiao to eat for several years.
"You have been added to the Unity and Friendship 20th Floor chat group by Grandma Qiao. You can start chatting now."
Su Keke suddenly received this notification on WeChat.
"Welcome Coco!"
"Welcome Coco!"
Everyone was welcoming her to join the group, which made Su Keke a little flattered.
"Hello everyone! What is this group doing?"
Su Keke asked belatedly, because they did not have a WeChat group in their previous life.
"I created the group because I thought we could chat in the group when we have nothing to do. If anyone on the 20th floor is short of supplies, we can help each other." Lu Mei came out to explain.
"Oh! Okay!" Su Keke didn't know what to say again.
"I still have supplies at home. If any of you are out of supplies, please come to me and get some." Grandma Qiao still likes to help others.
"We still have some!" Meng Yi, Shi Huan and Su Keke said together.
"You certainly don't have as much supplies as our family has. My dad and mom are so powerful that they can stockpile a month's worth of supplies for a typhoon." Chen Li laughed and complained about Lu Mei and Chen Da.
"I admit that!" Lu Mei said with a smile.
"How about everyone come to my house for a barbecue tonight! We've never had a gathering on the 20th floor before!" Lu Mei suggested.
"That's fine! We can take advantage of the typhoon to give everyone a day off. We may not all have time to get together in the future!" Chen Da immediately seconded the proposal.
"These two are indeed a couple. They always speak in unison."
Su Keke laughed out loud inadvertently. She hadn't felt the warmth of a big family for a long time, so it wouldn't be a big deal to get together.
In this life, Su Keke is willing to give warmth to those who gave her warmth in her previous life.
