The four members of the Xia family worked in perfect harmony and quickly, and soon they had collected and installed all the volcanic ash on the roof.
Looking at the clean roof, the four of them took off their protective clothing and gear with satisfaction, carefully moved down the bags of volcanic ash, and then went back to the house to wash up and sleep.
Maybe it was because of the dark clouds recently, Xia Shige suffered from insomnia regardless of day or night.
She casually picked up her phone and looked through the group messages, and found that everyone in the group was discussing the news report that the tallest tower had collapsed due to volcanic ash.
"4-1209 is slacking off: How could such a famous building collapse like this? I haven't even visited it yet."
"2-1908 Coconut Tree: This is truly another moment of history."
"4-2009 Sister Ni: It's just dust, how can a layer of soil collapse a building? This tower is a shoddy construction!"
"2-1908 Coconut Tree: This is not soil. Didn't you see the news? It's all rock particles. It's very heavy. It's said to weigh hundreds of millions of tons. If tons of it keep coming down, it will definitely collapse the building."
"4-2009 Sister Ni: No wonder the property management has been cleaning up the roof today. Oh, life is really hard."
“6-2702 Huanhuan: Don’t take your children out these days. The air quality has deteriorated since the volcanic ash blew into our area. I took my child downstairs for a walk, and when I came back, he kept coughing.”
"2-1408 Gao Meili: Don't take your children out. My husband has a runny nose every time he comes back from a trip. The snot is black and looks like it contains stone particles."
"Property Center: @All members, please wear masks and goggles when traveling. If you don't have masks, you can come to the property center or the material supply point to get them. Each person can get two masks per day with their ID card."
“6-2702 Huanhuan: Hey, it’s like this here, wouldn’t it be even worse in the disaster-stricken areas? Life is too hard, when will it end?”
"4-1009 Xiao Liu is rushing to finish his manuscript: Did you know that in 1815, Mount Tambora had a super eruption, which led to long-term drought and blizzards in Eurasia. In the end, European countries suffered a decline in crop yields, triggering an economic depression and hundreds of thousands of deaths. In order to shift the crisis, they began to expand their colonies everywhere, and the Opium War was also related to this."
"5-2602 Sitting Alone at the North Window: @4-1009 Xiao Liu is rushing to finish his manuscript. I know that at that time, acid rain caused by volcanic ash caused cholera in many countries. Cholera spread from Europe to Southeast Asia. This is the horror of the butterfly effect!"
"7-901 Xiao Li Loves Adventure: Acid rain? It would be fine if it really rained, as long as there is water. I want to take a bath before I die. Please pray for rain!"
"4-1209 is slacking off: @7-901 Xiao Li loves adventure, don't pray for rain! Didn't you see in the news that volcanic ash conducts electricity when it comes into contact with water? Then all the wires and cables will be useless. How can we surf the Internet?"
“…”
Xia Shige was browsing the group chat and recalled that in his previous life, many people had suffered from respiratory and lung infections due to inhaling volcanic ash and suffered from coughing.
Since she couldn't sleep anyway, she simply got up and went into the Peach Blossom Space, rummaged through the seed warehouse, and found some Chinese herbal medicine seeds that she had purchased earlier.
She sowed seeds of Scrophularia ningpoensis, Fritillaria cirrhosa, Rehmannia glutinosa, Ophiopogon japonicus and Asparagus cochinchinensis in the Taoyuan farmland, intending to stew loquat paste for the whole family in the future. It is said that this thing is very effective and can clear the lungs and relieve cough after drinking it.
After finishing all these, Xia Shige opened the online shopping platform of Taoyuan Store again. Since the long night fell, many night-time equipment have been put on the shelves one after another.
After searching for a while, Xia Shige found a product titled "As bright as day! The latest technology! Top chip algorithm - full-color surveillance camera at night."
Xia Shige looked through the comments and found that everyone in the comment section said that the night shooting effect of this camera was good. She gritted her teeth and directly placed an order for 100 units.
Xia Guocheng and Xia Huiyin mentioned before that during the night, some people have been stealing things in the dark, and the surveillance cameras in the community cannot capture them clearly.
If this thief is not caught and allowed to continue committing crimes, I'm afraid more and more people will imitate him.
Once a theft is successful, there will be another one.
As the saying goes, "greed is hard to satisfy", it will slowly develop into robbery and burglary...
This sign of instability must be nipped in the bud in time to avoid endless trouble.
Xia Shige plans to replace all the surveillance cameras in his home and the neighborhood with the latest night vision and full-color capabilities, hoping to catch the thief!

Because the air outside is bad, Xia Shige hasn't gone out much during this period. She has been taking care of the Chinese medicinal herbs in the farmland in the space, and diligently picking loquat leaves. She takes the loquat leaves to the Taoyuan stream and carefully washes them, preparing to keep them for making loquat paste.
After lunch today, Tang Shiqi came to Xia Shige's house as a guest.
She brought a box of pears and also brought a lot of lilies and Sichuan fritillaria.
Seeing this, the grandmother said quickly: "Child, you always bring so many things, it's too expensive!"
Tang Shiqi just smiled and replied: "Grandma, the air is not good recently. These snow pears can be used to stew snow pear water to clear the lungs and relieve coughs."
Tang Shiqi followed Xia Shige to the flower hall on the third floor. After sitting down, Xia Shige noticed that Tang Shiqi was wearing a pink diamond brooch on her chest.
This size, this color...
