Apocalyptic Stockpiling Survival Life

Jiang Muyun struggled for ten years in the apocalypse. Her biggest regret was not seeing the ending of a novel. She had salvaged dozens of middle pages from the ruins after an earthquake; she could...

Chapter 24 (1)

◎Happy Day 24: Folding Bathtub and Water Storage◎

Jiang Muyun rolled over in the bed. Just then, a message from 1503 came. Jiang Muyun kicked off his slippers and went to open the door for them.

After giving the water to the two people next door, Jiang Muyun realized that the water had been out for a while.

Zhao Jiahao clasped his hands together and bowed to her solemnly: "Sister, you are my only sister."

Jiang Muyun felt a chill, feeling that he was being repaid with ingratitude.

Not long after the two people from 1503 returned, Qin Shiwen also returned.

Qin Shiwen took the bucket and thanked him, then asked, "Do you have any electric heaters? I have several at home, all given to me by my employer. Can I get you two?"

If the air conditioner is operated in an environment below minus fifteen degrees Celsius, there is a high probability that it will malfunction.

With the temperature outside now, it’s safer to have a few more electric heaters at home.

Jiang Muyun yawned: "Two little suns are enough."

Qin Shiwen nodded. "That's good. You rest first. If you need anything, come and call me. Our team training is suspended, so I'll be at home more these days."

Jiang Muyun laughed when he heard this. This is a good feeling.

Jiang Muyun: "No problem."

After seeing Qin Shiwen off, Jiang Muyun began to feel sleepy.

In winter, there is nothing more comfortable than snuggling into a warm bed and taking a good sleep.

If so, it was taking a hot bath before going to bed.

Jiang Muyun slept until he woke up naturally, stretched out his body with satisfaction, and subconsciously took out his mobile phone to check the time.

As soon as she opened her phone, she saw the message Qin Shiwu sent her pop up.

[Dabin: Have you eaten?]

[Dabin: I brought you barbecued pork rice and sweet rice wine from the hospital's second cafeteria.]

[Dabin: Send me a message when you wake up. I'll heat it up for you in advance.]

[Dabin: Forget it, just send it to Qin Shiwen. I think I can sleep until tomorrow.]

Wuhu, there is food as soon as you open your eyes!

Jiang Muyun sat up straight and started typing on his phone.

Xiaobai has an entrance exam for Xi'an University tomorrow: Wen! Sister! Your baby is awake!

Xiaobai will take the entrance exam for Xi'an University tomorrow: Are the barbecued pork rice and sweet wine still waiting for me in the second cafeteria?

Qin Shiwen replied very quickly.

【Xiao Bin: You woke up just in time.】

Xiaobin: Just come over. Zhao Jiahao and Li Anxuan are here too. They just woke up, so it's a good time for them to eat together.

Xiaobai is taking the entrance exam for Xi'an University tomorrow: Okay! Wait for me!

After replying the message, Jiang Muyun quickly got out of bed to wash up, holding a toothbrush in one hand and opening Weibo with the other.

Jiang Muyun laughed as soon as he saw it.

#Give me the snow# This topic is still on the hot search, and countless silly videos and jokes have been extended under the topic.

If we were to ask who can grasp hot topics most accurately and quickly these days, it would definitely be the self-media bloggers.

In just one day, videos related to cooling were everywhere on major platforms.

Some bloggers in the south complained about the little accidents that happened in the low temperature. All kinds of ridiculous little accidents attracted a lot of hahaha. At the end, they did not forget to complain a few words. Why didn’t it snow when it was so cold?

But it's not just the south that didn't snow this year, the north didn't snow either.

In the far north of China, when the climate was normal in the past, snow would have already started falling in October. However, this year, it got cold unusually early, but there is still not a single snowflake.

Gradually, many netizens from the north appeared in various snow-praying contents.

Many people shared their experiences of minus 30 degrees Celsius in previous years, including skiing, playing snowball fights, and a husky pulling three children around.

This year it's completely bare and there's nothing there.

If you want to go dog sledding, you can only go on the ice. As a result, the dog and the person slipped and fell into a ball.

Jiang Muyun was amazed at the speed at which the silly netizens produced jokes, and took the opportunity to bring up another topic.

#Minus 30 degrees survival guide#

At least half of the people in China have never experienced the current temperature. This topic was originally discussed by many people, but it never became a large-scale topic.

Jiang Muyun put it together a bit, submitted a joke to a few big bloggers, or even just mentioned a few words in the comment section under a popular Weibo post, and the topic naturally became popular.

Gradually, netizens in the south started posting videos of various accidents, and netizens in the north started giving various useful or outrageous life tips, and also came up with many "magic replies", causing the topic to spread more and more widely.

There were also bloggers from the central region who added sadly and helplessly that if there was no heating or kang at home, there might be some things you need to pay attention to when facing temperatures below freezing.

Seeing the topic discussion getting more and more popular, Jiang Muyun happily quit Weibo.

Keep this trend going for another two days. When the second drop in temperature comes, it’s time for these topics to come into play.

Jiang Muyun put on thick home clothes, poured dog food for Xiaobai and replaced it with warm water, then rushed to room 1502 next door as fast as he could, stomping his feet and knocking on the door.

As soon as Qin Shiwen opened the door, Jiang Muyun rushed in quickly and skillfully.

"I'm freezing to death! I'm freezing to death!"

The two houses were next to each other, just a few steps away, and the air conditioners were on in both houses, so Jiang Muyun was too lazy to change his clothes.

Thick cotton-padded home clothes made of coral fleece fabric specially for winter are comfortable and convenient to wear, with first-class warmth retention, making them a life-saving tool for staying at home happily in winter.

This was obviously not the first time Jiang Muyun had done this. She had spent the winters at home like this in her previous life.

Seeing Jiang Muyun rushing in with a bulging bag, Qin Shiwen was not surprised at all. He laughed and scolded, "You're so lazy."

Zhao Jiahao and Li Anxuan had finished their meal and were drinking hot sweet wine. When they saw Jiang Muyun coming over, they greeted her and thanked her again for bringing them clothes and helping to store water.

Jiang Muyun had fallen asleep and didn't know that many water supply pipes in Nanshi had problems. The area where their community was located was also affected by the water outage, and there was still no water.

If it weren't for the two buckets of water Jiang Muyun had picked up in advance, they wouldn't even have enough water to wash when they came back this morning.

Jiang Muyun took a big gulp of sweet wine and waved his hand, saying, "It's just a small matter, just a side trip."

After she finished speaking, she thought for a moment and asked, "Where's Brother Wu? Is he still not awake?"

Qin Shiwen handed her a pair of chopsticks: "He's asleep. He just came back at noon today. I think he's so tired that he almost wants to float away."

"Wake up." Before Qin Shiwen could finish his words, Qin Shiwu's door opened: "Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry that I want to vomit."

Qin Shiwu's tone of voice was hazy, and Jiang Muyun silently pushed his untouched barbecued pork rice in front of him.

Qin Shiwu took a bite and suddenly stopped, then got up like a sleepwalker to wash up.

Qin Shiwu turned on the faucet, stood in front of the sink and stared at the faucet for a while, and only at Qin Shiwen's reminder did he pick up the basin and pour hot water.

Jiang Muyun could see how tired Qin Shiwu was, as he was still dazed.

After Qin Shiwu finished washing up, he seemed to be a little more sober and his rationality returned.

Qin Shiwu first took a few mouthfuls of rice to fill his stomach. After the burning sensation in his stomach subsided, he exhaled and leaned back in his chair with the bowl in his hand, feeling exhausted. "I'm alive again."

Qin Shiwen heated up another serving of barbecued pork rice for Jiang Muyun and brought a bowl of sweet wine to Qin Shiwu. He asked, "Didn't you go to the cafeteria at noon? Why are you so hungry?"

It’s just dinner time now. I just took a nap, so I shouldn’t be starving, right?

Qin Shiwu looked exhausted. "My last meal was last night. I was so hungry at noon that I had no appetite for the time being, so I planned to pack some food to eat back home. It was a good opportunity to bring some food for you guys as well."

After he recovered from the shock, his eating speed returned to normal.

Jiang Muyun recalled the messages she had seen: "And then you came back and fell asleep?"

Qin Shiwu nodded, and when he thought of his previous experience, he couldn't suppress his sadness. "I only remembered after buying lunch at noon that my car was frozen and couldn't start. Then I thought about taking the subway back, but when I got to the station, I saw a notice that the city's bus and subway services were temporarily suspended for maintenance."

Zhao Jiahao and Li Anxuan clearly understood this: "That's right, we just walked back from the team this morning."

It’s so hot outside now that I can’t even turn on my phone to scan a shared bike.

But compared to the two strong trainee firefighters who didn't do much physical work last night, Qin Shiwu, who had been running around all night, obviously didn't have the strength to walk home easily.

Qin Shiwu picked up the sweet wine and drank it with the vigor of Erguotou: "I was so tired that I couldn't even lift my legs. It took me more than an hour to walk home."

Several people at the table raised their glasses of sweet wine to toast him. Zhao Jiahao said affectionately, "Brother, even at this point you haven't thrown away the food to relieve the burden. From now on, you will be my only brother."

Jiang Muyun felt that this sounded familiar.

But she didn't have time to worry about it because the topic was just right here.

Jiang Muyun put a mouthful of rice into his mouth and followed up the conversation by asking, "Are you still going to work tomorrow?"

Qin Shiwu shook his head: "I signed up for a day off tomorrow, so I'll probably have to wait until the bus and subway are back online before I can go back to work as normal."

The hospital can dispatch vehicles to pick up and drop off medical staff, but transportation capacity is extremely scarce now. Unless they happen to be on the way, there will be no chance for these trainees to be picked up and dropped off.

The hospital is not a devil. It was so busy last night because the temperature dropped too quickly. Now that it has slowed down, there is not so much shortage of staff, and there is no need to ask several interns to walk for hours to and from get off work every day.

Zhao Jiahao and his partner are in a similar situation: "If public transportation can resume tomorrow, we will go to work as normal."

Li Anxuan nodded. "Today, the team specifically counted our addresses and commuting methods. We were just notified to stay at home tomorrow."

The three "non-staff members" who shared the same plight looked at each other and realized deeply that they were dispensable.

Jiang Muyun extended an invitation: "Since we have to stay at home later...why don't we go to the supermarket tomorrow?"

Several people didn't react for a moment: "Why go to the supermarket?"

Jiang Muyun smiled and said, "It's so cold outside now, we can't expect someone to deliver food. What are we going to eat later if we don't go to the supermarket to buy some food?"

If you don’t go to the supermarket to buy some food and drinks now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to compete with the grandparents in the community in a few days.

If you must say it, they are not without food at home.

Most of the things I bought on my last camping trip are still untouched.

But since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well go shopping in the supermarket as a pastime.

So everyone voted in favor and made an appointment to go out for lunch together tomorrow at noon and then go to the supermarket after lunch.

The next morning, when everyone woke up and found that there was still no water at home, the time for going to the supermarket was moved to the morning.

"morning."

"morning."

At around nine o'clock in the morning, the five-person group on the fifteenth floor met in the corridor.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Zhao Jiahao asked curiously.

Jiang Muyun unfolded the folded camper in his hand halfway and showed it to him: "Aren't we going to buy water this morning? It will be more convenient to bring a camper back."

Zhao Jiahao's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Li Anxuan: "What a good idea! How about we also bring the moving cart we used?"

Li Anxuan's face was buried in his scarf, his expression invisible. "How much water are you planning to buy? It won't even fill up a campervan."

Jiang Muyun agreed: "That's right, if you like pushing the cart, you can pull it back later."

At this time, the best way to buy supplies openly is to buy small quantities and multiple times.

Buying too much at one time will make it too conspicuous. Even if you only buy that one time and don't go out afterwards, it will give people the impression that you have enough supplies at home, so you don't need to continue buying later.

Leaving this impression when a storm is about to come is like writing the words "fat sheep" on your forehead. When chaos breaks out, who will be unlucky if not you?

Only if you go out to purchase things frequently but the quantity you buy each time is not noticeable, will you give people the illusion that you don’t have enough supplies at home and are often in short supply.

These are the lessons Jiang Muyun learned from the bloody incidents she saw and heard in her previous life.

The five of them wrapped themselves up tightly and walked around outside the community, but there was not a single breakfast shop open.

Zhao Jiahao was a little depressed: "I don't think so. The temperature in the north is this high every winter. It shouldn't be so high that we can't even sell breakfast."

Jiang Muyun was also impressed by his nerves: "Our home has no water, and the store has no water too."

Zhao Jiahao sighed, "That's right. I hope the supermarket still sells buns. I'm really hungry now."

The supermarket is near the community and it only takes a few people ten minutes to walk there.

I thought that since it was a weekday, there shouldn't be many people in the supermarket, but I didn't expect that there were a few more people in the supermarket than usual, and they all seemed to be buying water.

In his previous life, Jiang Muyun was still staying in the dormitory at this time, and his knowledge of the situation in the residential area was not much more than that of the other people.

She blinked, watching the supermarket staff rushing to grab two buckets of water, and couldn't help but ask, "We're here at this hour...are there any water left? Or should we just turn left and go to the convenience store?"

Jiang Muyun had already discovered that many people's carts were filled with boxes of small bottles of mineral water.

Compared to 5L of water, this small bottle is of course much more expensive.

Especially after buying this water, most of it may be used as domestic water.

This is not a high-end residential area, and the residents are mainly ordinary working class people. Given a choice, few people would buy this kind of bottled water with extremely low cost performance, unless the large barrels are sold out.

They looked at each other, and Qin Shiwu said, "I think we should just go to the convenience store and have a look. If there are large bottles of water, we can buy them and take them home. We can then come back to the supermarket to buy food."

This suggestion is reliable.

If the convenience store doesn't have large barrels of water for sale, they still have time to buy small bottles.

Due to people's habitual thinking, many people go to supermarkets to buy water, but convenience stores are deserted.

A few people successfully found a 5L bottle of drinking water in the corner. Since there was only this brand in the store and there was no room for choice, they simply ordered this one.

If everyone originally wanted to buy a bucket for backup, their thoughts changed after going to the supermarket and seeing how much water others bought.

Everyone is buying so much, so should I buy two buckets and take them home to store?

After all, the official notice of water outage only said that emergency repairs were underway, and did not clearly state the time when water would be restored.

Who knows when the water will stop flowing?

Jiang Muyun calculated the capacity of the campervan and thought two buckets per person would be enough, so he said, "Let's see how much the store has. If it's not enough, we can pick up a few more bottles when we go to the supermarket."

There were only two buckets left outside the convenience store, so if they wanted more, they had to wait for the clerk to look for them in the warehouse.

Finally, the clerk found two boxes, a total of twelve barrels, plus the two barrels of water outside, a total of fourteen barrels.

Jiang Muyun opened the camper van, and the few of them arranged the items for a while. When they found that they could all fit in one van, they decided to buy all fourteen barrels.

So less than half an hour after they went out, they came back towing the camper van.

Fortunately, the property management posted a notice in the morning saying that the elevator had been inspected and could be used normally, otherwise they would have to carry the water up to the 15th floor.

Distributing the water was pretty simple. Jiang Muyun said she still had some water from yesterday's storage, so she only asked for two buckets. The others each took three buckets home, dropped off the water, and went out again.

Or maybe people have a herd mentality. Originally, the neighbors just casually bought things when they went to the supermarket, but after seeing so many people rushing to buy water and food in the morning, they inexplicably developed a sense of urgency.

Five people pushed three carts. Jiang Muyun used his rich purchasing experience to lead them to buy staple foods.

First, there was vacuum-packed rice and flour, in small packages of 5kg per bag. Each family bought four or five bags.

Qin Shiwen originally wanted to buy the 20KG package directly, but was stopped by Jiang Muyun.

"You don't cook at home every day. If you buy a large package like this and leave it at home after opening it, it might go bad later. Buy a small package instead. It's fine to keep it unopened for a few years."

Compared with large packages, this small vacuum package is inconspicuous and can be preserved for a longer time. Even if there is a flood, it will be fine if it is soaked in water.

It is very cost-effective to buy more and store them at this time.

You should also buy those large packages of rice and flour, but not at this time.

The best time will be when everyone is rushing to stock up on food in a few days and those who don’t buy in large quantities are the outliers.

The reason Jiang Muyun gave was very convincing, and among all the people on the 15th floor, she seemed to be the only one who cooked occasionally, so everyone simply followed Jiang Muyun's advice.

Don’t buy fancy vegetables because you won’t know how to cook them.

If you want to buy more, buy more Chinese cabbage and cabbage, which are long-lasting and delicious. If you really don’t know how to cook, buy some hot pot ingredients, and stew them in a pot and they will taste good.

In the north, people often cook cabbage and vermicelli. You can also buy some sweet potato vermicelli of various thicknesses in the supermarket. Next to the sweet potato vermicelli is Longkou vermicelli, which tastes good too. Jiang Muyun strongly recommends it.

You can also buy more root vegetables that are long-lasting and filling.

Think eating only Chinese cabbage is boring? Then buy some onions, potatoes, pumpkins, and carrots. If that doesn't work, frozen mixed vegetables and semi-finished products will also work.

If you know how to make it, you can try to stir-fry it. If you don’t know how to make it, you can just heat it up in the microwave or oven.

You can also buy a few packs of cylindrical noodles. If you are too lazy to cook in the morning, you can just cook the noodles and add some sesame oil, soy sauce and vinegar to make a bowl of classic Yangchun noodles.

The taste may not be as good as instant noodles, but fortunately it is not easy to get tired of it and it is healthier than instant noodles.

If you're thinking about eating something, how can you not have some eggs? Buy a few boxes of eggs and take some preserved eggs and salted duck eggs with you.

Buy some more processed minced meat and shredded meat, go home and cook them together with rice, and you will have a meal of century egg and lean meat porridge.

If you are too lazy to make it, you can also buy packaged braised eggs directly, which are also durable and convenient.

Zhao Jiahao put the braised eggs into the shopping cart. Qin Shiwen preferred to drink porridge, so he also bought a lot of side dishes to go with it.

After buying these, they automatically thought of another good companion to noodles - ham sausage, without Jiang Muyun reminding them.

Not only ham sausage, but also cured sausage, pure meat sausage and grilled sausage are all very delicious.

It can be eaten with noodles or in cooking. If all else fails, you can buy two big steamed buns and eat them together.

Zhao Jiahao bought the buns in the supermarket as he wished. Not only him, but others also bought a few.

Next to the steamed buns was a bag of large white steamed buns that cost ten yuan. After listening to the various lazy dining methods proposed by Jiang Muyun, several people directly took a bag and took away most of the buns.

Anyway, I went to the cooked food area. The roasted or braised beef, mutton, chicken and duck just came out of the pot and the aroma was tempting. I bought some extra to take home, and just heated them up if I was too lazy to cook.

At this temperature, the refrigerator in their home has become a warming box. No matter how much stuff they buy, they don’t have to worry about it going bad. If all else fails, they can put it on the balcony, which is more effective than the freezer of the refrigerator.

When young people head to the supermarket before staying home, snacks are a must-buy. It's a rare opportunity to be a casual fish at home, and if you don't have some snacks, you'll feel like something is missing.

Originally, everyone just wanted to buy something, but they didn't expect to fill up three carts in the end.

Jiang Muyun seemed to be constantly putting things into the shopping cart, but in fact he was controlling the quantity very carefully.

The most eye-catching thing is rice and flour. They all bought small vacuum packages. When stood up, they were all square pieces and could all be put into the camper.

The camper van is not transparent. When the time comes, if you put those bags of snacks on it, others will at most say that they like to eat junk food.

After they had bought almost everything, they went to take a look at the water area without giving up.

The mineral water shelves were crowded with people. The supermarket salesperson just came over with a cart to restock the goods, but before the goods were even put on the shelves, they were already sold out.

Several people had already bought water and were too lazy to join in the fun, so they just picked up a few bottles of drinks and left.

Only Jiang Muyun, while checking out, looked at the boxes of water in other people's carts and said with a bit of worry, "I don't know how long the water outage will last. If it doesn't come back tomorrow, the water we bought today probably won't be enough. We still have to come and queue up for water."

Qin Shiwu frowned: "This is indeed a problem. I asked my colleagues this morning and they said that there is no water at the hospital. The water we use now is supplied by the water station."

The official water outage notice stated that the entire city had no water, so naturally there were many pipes that needed to be repaired urgently.

However, there are only so many people, so emergency repairs naturally have to be prioritized. In this special period, places like hospitals should of course be given priority.

The hospital doesn’t have water yet, so they have to be a little further back.

Zhao Jiahao was quite optimistic: "At worst, I can just make a few more trips tomorrow. Nanshi is right on the Yangtze River, so there won't be a shortage of water."

Jiang Muyun shrugged. "We'll see tomorrow. If the water doesn't arrive tomorrow, we can just go to the water station and order some. I saw the price of bottled water online last time, and compared to the price of this 5L bottle, I feel like I'm being taken advantage of today."

After paying the bill, several people carried their things and walked back.

Thanks to Li Anxuan's environmental awareness, when they returned, they all carried canvas shopping bags, and it was impossible to tell what was in the shopping bags from the outside.

The bags that can be seen are the ones that Jiang Muyun specially placed on the camper van.

At first glance, all you see are puffed foods in colorful packaging, and it looks like they have no idea how to live at home.

As they were walking back with their things, Jiang Muyun suddenly said, "It would be nice to have a bicycle. In this weather, only bicycles can move around outside."

This was absolutely true. On the way to the supermarket, apart from a few electric bikes, there were only bicycles on the road. There were hardly any running private cars.

This is not surprising.

The temperature is currently approaching -30 degrees Celsius. In late September and early October, even a barrel of No. 10 diesel is hard to find in Nanshi. Driving a diesel car on the road is pure fantasy.

For gasoline vehicles or new energy vehicles, the problem with the fuel tank is often not serious, but the water tank is inevitably affected.

Very few people were able to react and empty the car's water tank when the temperature started to drop, or had antifreeze on hand. Most people are now calling the auto repair shop.

As for purely electric vehicles, forget it, the battery can't be charged at this temperature.

After all the calculations, human-powered vehicles are the best.

Qin Shiwen smiled and said, "The subway is just undergoing maintenance, not being demolished. If you buy a bicycle now, are you going to take it to school later?"

Qin Shiwu's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Qin Shiwu said: "That's a good idea. I can't drive my car for a while, and riding a bike to work is always better than squeezing into the subway."

Zhao Jiahao and Li Anxuan, who squeeze into the subway every day, feel that they have been implied.

What's wrong with squeezing into the subway? Did the limited edition sardines bother you?

Qin Shiwu was also familiar with the weather forecast and knew that this temperature would last for quite some time. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll buy one when the subway is open. It will be convenient for commuting, and I won't have to worry about the subway being shut down again."

People who are only afraid of heat and not cold now have down jackets. They are not afraid of riding bicycles to work every day in temperatures of minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius, and they speak very arrogantly.

Jiang Muyun agreed, "Indeed. Our school professor said the temperature might drop further. I wonder if the infrastructure in South City can hold up."

Li Anxuan knew a little about this, and after listening to Jiang Muyun's words, he became thoughtful: "Nowadays, subways are all powered by the power grid. If the temperature is too low, it may indeed have an impact on the contact network and even the switches."

Zhao Jiahao frowned. "That means if the temperature drops further, the subway might stop again?"

The few of them walked into the corridor, and Jiang Muyun pressed the elevator button. "Maybe. After all, many facilities in South City are not as well protected from cold and frost as those in northern cities. Problems can easily arise when the temperature drops too low, just like the water outage this time."

Li Anxuan pulled out a news bulletin and showed it to everyone: "Not only the subway, but also the planes have stopped. They say there is a disturbance in the magnetic field."

Li Anxuan swiped his hand down the screen: "Many trains have also stopped running."

Li Anxuan exited the news page, flipped through other news, and turned to Zhao Jiahao and said, "How about we go buy a bicycle later? If the temperature continues to drop, the subway might stop running again. We can't just miss work when the subway stops."

Zhao Jiahao asked blankly, "Are we just buying one?"

Li Anxuan choked for a long time and didn't respond.

Qin Shiwu laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe: "Then when the subway opens, the three of us can go together."

Jiang Muyun applied to join: "Take me one, and I'll buy one too. It's that mountain bike I saw online. I've wanted to buy one for a long time. It looks so cool."

Qin Shiwen blinked and said proudly, "Why are you waiting? If you want to go, come find me. I have a moving car here."

Qin Shiwen's car is a gasoline car. The night before yesterday, when the temperature had not yet dropped to zero degrees, Qin Shiwen was woken up by Jiang Muyun. Then, from driving back to pick her up, to delivering clothes, and then to returning to the provincial team, her car was almost never turned off.

Qin Shiwen would rather burn oil than stop driving. He waited until the shops opened in the daytime and bought antifreeze, then turned off the car and parked it in the garage.

If she hadn't said it, these people really wouldn't have thought about it for a while.

Jiang Muyun reacted quickly and immediately climbed onto Qin Shiwen, calling him "sister".

The remaining three people couldn't act like spoiled brats and could only look at Qin Shiwen expectantly.

Qin Shiwen smiled and said, "Tell me, when do we set off?"

Jiang Muyun immediately responded, "Go back and put the food away, heat up two more buns, and then leave."

Jiang Muyun had breakfast before coming out this morning, but the people in front of him were probably still hungry.

Zhao Jiahao had been craving the buns for a long time: "Let's heat up the buns and eat them on the way. They only take two minutes in the microwave, it's very quick."

In the middle of winter, everyone has to turn on the air conditioner and electric heater when they go home, and they have to take off their scarves and hats, otherwise it will be uncomfortable.

If you eat at home before setting off, you will have to put on and take off your equipment again.

Instead of going back and forth, it would be more convenient to just put your things down and leave now.

Qin Shiwen had no objection: "Okay, see you at the elevator entrance later."

A few people divided the shopping bags and the things in the camper van. The other four went back to heat up the buns. Jiang Muyun stayed at home and held Xiaobai for a long time to comfort him.

Xiaobai is just an ordinary local dog. Unlike sled dogs, it is not cold-resistant. Jiang Muyun was afraid that once the temperature dropped completely, it would not be able to withstand it and would be frozen to death. So he simply tried to let it slowly adapt to the current temperature.

So when Jiang Muyun went out this morning, he turned off the air conditioner at home and only left a few thick cushions in Xiaobai's nest. If Xiaobai really couldn't stand the cold, he would have a nest to return to.

There is still some residual heat from the air conditioner in the house, which is a little warmer than outside, but the temperature is also below zero.

Xiaobai spent the whole morning in this temperature, but he didn't seem to be frozen.

When Jiang Muyun came in just now, he pounced on her and rubbed against her for a while, completely different from his previous look of curling up in his nest and not wanting to move.

Jiang Muyun felt a little relieved.

If she doesn't turn on the air conditioner during the day and Xiaobai can handle it, then she will move Xiaobai's nest to the living room tonight.

Jiang Muyun touched Xiaobai's head and said, "Xiaobai, try your best to speed up the genetic mutation process. I want to raise you for a few more years."

Xiaobai didn't know if he understood or not, and he stuck to Jiang Muyun for a while.

The little local dog is also pretty good. At least in terms of adaptability, his score is at least at the level of Xida University.

Jiang Muyun held Xiaobai and rubbed him for a while. When he heard some noise outside, he put Xiaobai down and went out.

After the people who wanted to buy bicycles discussed it and decided to buy mountain bikes, Qin Shiwen took them directly to a store of a well-known brand.

Coincidentally, the mountain bikes placed in Jiang Muyun's space are also of this brand.

But I didn't buy it in this store.

Jiang Muyun directly bought the same model as the ones he had bought before.

If the car breaks down in the future, she can just take out the things in the space and make it look a little older to fool people.

Jiang Muyun installed off-road tires because they look cool.

The remaining three men said one thing and another, "Why buy off-road tires on city roads?" But they still honestly paid the price of the off-road tires.

The reason is simple: it looks really handsome.

Jiang Muyun also tried to encourage Qin Shiwen: "Sister Wen, why don't you buy one too? Otherwise, the five of us won't have the same style."

Qin Shiwen waved his hand: "Come on, I won't join in the fun. I'm too old to afford it."

Jiang Muyun turned to look at Qin Shiwu, who was the same age as him.

Qin Shiwu was discussing the applicable road conditions of off-road tires with the store clerk and was completely unaware of what they were saying.

No wonder he didn't react.

Qin Shiwen sent the person here, and it was obvious that he couldn't take him back.

There was no way all four of them would fit into the trunk of her car.

And judging from the looks of Jiang Muyun and the other three, they probably didn't want to take the bus back.

Jiang Muyun rubbed her hands. This was her dream car in her previous life.

Now that I have it in my hands, of course I have to enjoy it first.

The four people who got the new toys hit it off immediately and waved goodbye to Qin Shiwen.

As soon as Qin Shiwen started her car, she saw the four people lined up in a row and rushed to the front. She could hear their cheers even while sitting in the car.

The four of them were very excited and arrived home not much slower than Qin Shiwen.

In the residential complex where Jiang Muyun lives, there are special underground parking garages for both motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles.

There is an elevator in the motor vehicle garage, so you can go home directly from the basement, but there is no elevator in the non-motor vehicle garage. After parking your car, you can only go out of the garage and take the elevator upstairs from the corridor, which is very inconvenient.

Electric bikes cannot enter elevators, so they must be placed in the garage, but there is no such restriction for bicycles.

No one was too lazy to go through the parking procedures and have to take a detour to pick it up later, so they just moved the car back home.

The occupancy rate of this community is not low, but more than half of them are retired employees who have moved back. Even during rush hours in the morning and evening, there is rarely crowding in the elevator, so there is no need to worry about pushing a bicycle into the elevator and taking up space. There are many people like them who take their bicycles home.

After greeting the security guard, the smart alarm in the elevator that said "Electric bikes are not allowed to enter" only sounded twice before it was manually turned off by the security guard.

The first thing Jiang Muyun did when he got home was to check Xiaobai's condition.

Xiaobai has become accustomed to the cold environment. He seems to be more energetic than before and jumps around Jiang Muyun excitedly.

Jiang Muyun happily picked up Xiaobai, gave him a big kiss, and rewarded him with a can of beef.

After checking Xiaobai, Jiang Muyun cleaned up Grandpa Jiang's room, placed several large water tanks in the room, and started filling them with water.

Storing enough ice in winter will make life a little easier in the summer.

After draining the water, Jiang Muyun started packing the rice.

During the period after the temperature started to drop, Jiang Muyun had to go out almost every day. She was not busy cooking, but was busy stewing rice.

Wash the rice the night before and put it in the rice cooker before going out the next day. When you get home, pack the rice in the rice cooker and put it in the storage space before steaming the next batch. It is convenient, fast and does not require much work.

After Jiang Muyun packed the second batch of rice for the day, messages in the group chat started to pop up non-stop. It was the three people at work asking about the time to go out tomorrow.

The first thing Qin Shiwu and his two neighbors in 1503 did after getting the bicycles was to report to their workplace and resume their normal work.

The units on both sides are different, but the responses received are quite consistent.

They were all told not to worry, that the unit was not short of staff at the moment, and that they could stay at home for a few days and return to work as normal after public transportation resumed.

The company's response was reasonable and gentle, which would be considered a miracle company in a private company. But in reality, it was a blow to the three people.
