No one expected the old lady to come back so suddenly. They were all stunned and hurriedly looked for a place to hide, but they found that the house was full of things and there was no place to hide.
Just when everyone was in a hurry, there was a sound of turning in the keyhole, and with a creak, the door opened. Standing at the door was an old lady with gray hair, a face full of traces of time, and a slightly hunched back.
Seeing a group of people in the house, she stood at the door in a daze, obviously not understanding what was happening at home.
"Mom, why are you back?"
The eldest brother rubbed the dust off his hands to break the awkwardness in the room, with a guilty expression on his face.
The old man slowly came to his senses and stretched his neck, as if he hadn't heard clearly. His voice was very old: "What did you say?"
The eldest brother raised his voice: "Why are you back so early?"
The old man must have had hearing problems, and he also said in a hoarse voice: "I came back to put my things away."
As he spoke, he dragged a large snakeskin sack into the house with great effort.
Seeing that there was still a lot of things in the house that had not been cleaned out, and the old lady dragged back another sack of things, which smelled strange, the eldest brother's patience finally ran out.
He walked up to the old lady and said in a pleading tone, "Mom, I beg you, can you please stop bringing things home? Look at this house and the corridor, there is garbage and waste everywhere. The neighbors have complained several times. We are so busy every day, can you please give us some extra worry?"
The old lady was a little happy to see her son come back to see her just now, but when she heard this, she snorted, looked sullen, and refused to talk to him.
Seeing that the old lady refused to listen, the eldest brother lost his patience and grabbed the sack from her hand and threw it out the door. At the same time, he said to Qiao Yiyi and the others in a gruff voice, "Hurry up and move your things. Don't worry about my mother."
Xiong Ying looked at the old lady, then at the room full of waste, and didn't know what to do.
Lian Ru is an elder, and there are elderly people in her family. Perhaps something touched her, and she stepped forward to stop her eldest brother: "If you have anything to say, talk to the elderly in a nice way, don't scare them."
The eldest brother remained unmoved and said firmly, "This matter cannot be resolved by talking nicely. We must move all these things out today."
Lian Ru said helplessly, "But this won't completely solve the problem. If you throw it away today, what will happen if she picks it up again in a couple of days?"
"We'll talk about it later. A house like this is enough for her to pick up things for a while. I can't have neighbors calling me every day complaining, can I?"
Seeing that they couldn't persuade him, the others didn't say anything. After all, it was someone else's family affair, and they couldn't interfere. They didn't plan to waste time here any longer and prepared to leave.
However, the old lady refused to let her son throw away her things, and the two of them had an argument in the corridor.
The old lady stamped her feet in anger and pointed a trembling finger at him: "Don't touch my things, they belong to me!"
The eldest brother didn't care and walked downstairs with the sack: "These are all useless junk! Throw them away and I'll buy you new ones later."
Grandma: "I don't want new ones, I just want these."
As he said this, he was about to pull his son up, but he missed and his body trembled as he was about to fall down the stairs.
This is an old residential complex with a crowded entrance and steep and narrow staircases. If the old lady falls down at her age, her body probably won't be able to withstand it.
Qiao Yiyi reacted quickly and rushed over to grab the old lady. At the same time, she quickly called up the animal attribute system panel, saw the panda attribute in the "Recently Used" column, and quickly used it.
Then he adjusted the angle, protected the old lady on his body, leaned his back against the stairs, and slid down rhythmically with his whole body "dong dong dong dong".
It didn't hurt at all, but instead felt bouncy.
No wonder every time you see a giant panda fall from such a high place, it can immediately get up from the ground and run away twisting and turning, as if nothing had happened.
It turns out this is what it feels like to roll down to the ground.
The people upstairs were startled. Lian Ru and the others ran downstairs quickly, and the big brother also reacted.
"Yiyi, are you okay? Did you fall?" Lian Ru asked anxiously.
Qiao Yiyi lay on the ground, facing everyone's concerned eyes, and shook her head: "I'm fine."
The old lady seemed to be frightened and fainted.
The group quickly called an ambulance and sent the old lady to the hospital.
Xiong Ying asked worriedly, "Sister Yiyi, are you really okay?"
They were all horrified to see him fall from such a high corridor.
Seeing that everyone looked nervous, Qiao Yiyi said in a relaxed tone, "I'm really fine. I'm thick-skinned and tough, what could happen to me?" Afraid that everyone would not believe her, she stretched her muscles again, and everyone finally felt relieved.
This time it happened clearly under everyone's eyes. The cameraman carried the camera the whole time and did not miss a single second.
The last time Qiao Yiyi was shooting for "Fashion Marie Claire" magazine, she accidentally fell off a horse but was safe and sound. Everyone thought that Qiao Yiyi was really lucky, and some people thought that Qiao Yiyi's team deliberately exaggerated the facts and used the horse-riding incident for hype.
Now it seems that Qiao Yiyi really has some special physique, otherwise if she fell like that, she would have broken both her bones and her skin.
Unless she is very tolerant and doesn't want others to see her hurt side, but what good will it do her to be tolerant?
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn’t figure it out.
I don’t want to think about it anymore. Anyway, so many strange things have happened to Qiao Yiyi. She was able to save her life from a shark’s mouth. What else is impossible to happen?
They even secretly hoped that something would happen to Qiao Yiyi. Of course, they didn't mean to wish her bad luck, but just wanted to know what other qualities this treasure girl had that they hadn't discovered yet.
The ambulance arrived quickly and the old lady was sent to the hospital. The eldest brother followed anxiously and forgot about the group of people at home for a moment.
Since the owner was not around, they couldn't stay here any longer, even though the old lady's house did have a lot of waste worth recycling.
The group went to another house. This time they didn't have to go door to door to clean up. Many residents cleaned out the waste at home by themselves. Led by the young girl and her father, they gathered the things in the community garden and let Qiao Yiyi and others take them.
The Salted Fish Team was overjoyed and quickly distributed the fruits and seafood in the car to everyone.
In the end, there was no score left, so Qiao Yiyi suggested performing an acrobatic show for everyone.
She first learned the calls of various birds, then performed a somersault like a monkey, and then imitated small animals for the children to guess.
"Gorilla, it's a gorilla!"
"I know this one, it's a frog, croak!"
"This is Pig Pig, Moo!"
"Stupid, big mooing buffalo."
Because of the animal attributes, Qiao Yiyi's imitation of animal expressions and sounds is so lifelike that it makes many children laugh and feel very happy.
Especially some old men and women, the more they looked at the little girl, the more they liked her. Not only did they collect the waste from their homes and give it to her, they also brought them a lot of food, which was quite enthusiastic.
Seeing this, Xiong Ying performed a girl group dance for everyone.
Qu Xiaoqu sang a rap for everyone. Although these aunties and uncles didn't understand it, they all clapped cooperatively.
Zong Chang looked around, picked a leaf from the tree, wiped it clean, put it to his lips, and actually blew out a song that everyone was familiar with.
[Holy crap, Zong Chang actually knows how to play the Leaf Flute! How come I didn't know this before!]
Although I knew his family was musical and he learned to play many instruments from a very young age, I had no idea he had this hidden talent! It's outrageous!
[Absolutely amazing! Martial arts novels come alive!]
[It turns out that the heroes in martial arts dramas who play music with leaves are real.]
[Ten thousand people write in blood asking for a tutorial!!!]
A waste recycling event turned into a talent show. More and more people knew that there were celebrities who wanted to collect waste, especially discarded wood boards, bricks and tiles, steel bars and scrap iron, and that there would be performances attached. So they collected things from their homes and gave them to them. Soon, their motor vehicles could no longer hold all the waste.
Seeing this, an uncle drove over his van and said he would help them transport the goods.
At this time, the eldest brother who sent the old lady to the hospital came back and remembered that there were still some things at home that had not been dealt with.
Seeing that Qiao Yiyi and the others had not left yet, he breathed a sigh of relief and ran over breathlessly.
Qiao Yiyi was surprised and asked, "How is grandma? Is she okay?"
The eldest brother's voice was guilty: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now. My mother is fine, but the doctor said she needs to stay in the hospital for observation and then see the psychology department. She..."
The eldest brother's eyes dimmed, and he was extremely annoyed: "The doctor said that her memory has seriously declined, which is a precursor to Alzheimer's disease. It's all our fault for not paying enough attention to her."
It turned out that since the old lady's husband passed away and her son started his own family, she has been taking care of the old house alone.
Her son and daughter-in-law are very busy and cannot spare time to visit her, and her grandchildren are not close to her. She used to have a cat, but the cat later passed away, leaving the old grandmother alone.
To pass the boring and long time, the old lady started picking up waste and not selling it, so as to fill the empty house. Gradually, she was disliked by the neighbors and was regarded as a strange old lady by the people around her. They also forbade their children to interact with her.
As a result, the old lady had no one to talk to and felt even more lonely.
"We plan to take my mom home after she's discharged from the hospital and spend more time with her. We don't know when she will..."
The last two words were not spoken out loud, but many netizens in the live broadcast room understood them at once.
[Alas, I understand his feelings. When my grandfather was sick, I was too busy to go back to take care of him. Later, he passed away and I didn't even get to see him for the last time.]
I'm the opposite of you. When my grandmother was sick, none of my uncles or aunts cared for her, only taking turns visiting her every once in a while. I was studying out of town at the time, and for some reason, I suddenly felt a strong urge to go home. I asked my counselor for leave, and unexpectedly, I got to see my grandmother for the last time. I was so grateful I went back.
[This makes me miss my grandma too, but she passed away the year I took the college entrance exam. At that time, no one kept it a secret from me so as not to affect my exam. QAQ]
We really should pay more attention to the elderly at home...
This live variety show has been very popular in recent days and has frequently been on hot searches. It has become even more popular because Qiao Yiyi and her friends escaped from the shark's mouth and sent the stranded killer whale back to the sea.
These days, everyone opens their phones to watch live broadcasts whenever they have time, especially the Salted Fish Team. The variety show that everyone discusses most after dinner is "My Dream Town".
So when the Salted Fish team saw the elderly living alone hoarding waste, it caused widespread discussion among netizens, escalated to the social level, and even attracted the attention of official media in several countries. Not only did they report the incident and call on everyone to care for empty-nest elderly people, they also specifically praised the artists of this variety show and praised them for their positive energy.
Some people who were waiting to see "My Dream Town" flop were completely dumbfounded. A few paid marketing accounts were just about to use the idea of a person collecting rags to mock the program team for being lousy and tacky, but when they saw that the country specifically praised it, they immediately changed their tune.
Because we want to bring the old lady to live at home and take care of her together as a family, all these waste products in grandma's house will no longer be used.
My eldest brother said he would talk to my grandmother about it, so he told Qiao Yiyi and the others to take whatever they found useful. They didn't want to keep some of the old furniture—many of it was moldy. He would hire a scrap recycling company to dispose of the rest.
This is undoubtedly double good news for Qiao Yiyi and the others.
I was so happy that I turned on the Brown Bear system. I was so strong that I could lift the furniture. It was so easy!
The aunties watching were stunned to see Qiao Yiyi carrying a wardrobe. Are young girls nowadays so strong?
[Hahahaha, Qiao Yiyi never lets us down.]
[She has the looks of a girl and the strength of a man. Is this what a tough girl is?]
Zong Chang originally wanted to help her move, but he found that there was no room for him to show his abilities.
Qu Xiaoqu felt ashamed of herself and gave a thumbs up: "Sister, you are awesome, you are more manly than a real man!"
This waste collection trip was very fruitful. Their motor vehicle, plus the two large trucks that the two uncles helped to carry, a total of three trucks of waste materials were directly pulled to the island.
Designer Wei An and his team have come to the island at the invitation of the program crew. When I saw their several truckloads of materials, I was so shocked that my glasses almost fell off.
"I told you to prepare building materials, but not these scraps?"
Xiong Ying: "Didn't you say anything can be built?"
Wei An: “…”
That's exactly what he said.
Wei An coughed lightly. Although he felt that he had a long way to go, since he had made the promise, he had to do it. Otherwise, how could he live up to the reputation of their studio?
The team classified and processed the waste, and soon the style of the house took shape in Wei An's mind, and the blueprint automatically appeared in his mind.
He used a discarded bed board, four old tires, some wooden boards and broken doors and windows to build it, painted it with colorful paint and drew patterns on it, and a beautiful movable car cabin appeared before everyone.
Fill plastic bottles, beer bottles and other cans with sand, build walls with cement, and cover them with beautiful shells and pebbles, and a shell house full of the breath of the sea is created.
Unused wardrobes and bookcases were combined, two large wooden planks were placed diagonally on top, bricks and tiles were laid, and tropical palm leaves were used to create a small house with a rich artistic atmosphere. Lian Ru liked it immediately and booked it in advance.
In addition, they built a tree house, which was a strange but technologically advanced house made of the remaining messy materials.
Abandoned wooden boats are transformed into boat beds, and old ladders are made into storage racks...
The entire studio team plus five helpers worked day and night for several days and finally completed the residential area for the Salted Fish Team in time for the first selection.
Lian Ru had already occupied the art house, Xiong Ying chose the tree house, Qiao Yiyi liked the shell house, Qu Xiaoqu fell in love with the weird guy at first sight, and the last car house was left to Zong Chang.
The tent set was also not idle, it was placed on the side of the beach, and together with the purchased beach umbrellas, it formed a set of beach leisure equipment.
Wei An also used the remaining materials to make a small movable kitchen for Qiao Yiyi so that they wouldn't have to shower outside if it rained.
Looking at it this way, it really does look like a dream town.
The audience in the live broadcast room watched and marveled at the dexterity of the security team. They were also envious and wanted to own a small house like this!
After the program staff calculated all the prosperity values and announced them, the Salted Fish Team actually ranked third!
The last one is the Fairy Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that is, Chi Wei's group!
"Huh? That's impossible? Aren't we the poorest? How come we are ranked third?" Xiong Ying looked incredulous.
"And the Fairy Team, aren't their resources four-star? How could they be last?"
