The next morning, Xia Shige just got up and learned that his uncle and mother had already gone to Jingjing Supermarket.
Lin Jingjing lives on the 12th floor. They didn't dare go home yesterday, so the whole family slept on the floor in the supermarket.
In the morning, Lin Jingjing sent her a message saying that everything was fine. Many people had heard that there would be strong winds in the next two days, so they were not planning to go out. They all came to the supermarket to buy food and stock up at home.
Xia Shige went out after dinner. She walked in the community, looking around as she walked.
Fortunately, Xindu Community was not a severely affected area. Many people had secured their windows after Xia Shige’s previous reminder. Now only some residents had broken windows.
In the community square, the property management is organizing cleaning.
The ground in the square was littered with all kinds of things blown over by the strong wind, including broken tree branches, broken bricks, and a broken air conditioner outdoor unit. There were even a few fish with their bellies turned upside down.
Several trees in the green belt were blown down by the wind, and all the water in the community’s fountain pool was blown away by the strong wind.
Xia Shige opened his phone and checked the news as he walked, and all the push notifications were of disaster scenes in the hardest-hit areas.
Roadside trees were uprooted, large tracts of fields were smashed by wind-blown debris, and the ground was littered with stones. Crops that had not been harvested in time rotted in the fields, creating a mess.
Some houses were blown down directly, the roofs of self-built houses were blown away, the French windows of high-rise buildings were shattered, and the items blown into the rooms were destroyed and in a mess.
There was even a family whose floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom was completely blown away by the wind. The owner, who was lying in the bedroom, was directly swept away by the wind and fell from the 14th floor and died on the spot. The surviving family members in the video were in great pain, and the despair brought by their cries spread from the screen, making it hard to breathe.
Xia Shige sighed as he scrolled through his phone. The natural disaster had already begun. This strong wind was just the beginning. There would be two more similar strong winds, and then there would be prolonged high temperatures.
She glanced at the community group and saw that everyone was complaining in the group.
"4-2009 Sister Ni: @4th floor property management department, where is the property management? Stop playing dead! Come out! When are you coming to fix my windows?!"
"4th floor property management department: @4-2009 Miss Ni, we have already arranged a queue for you. The wind was too strong yesterday and many high-rise windows were broken. The situation was even worse in the center of the city. Now everyone is making reservations and there are too many people in line."
"4-2009 Sister Ni: @4th Floor Property Management Department, how long do you want me to wait? Didn't you see the news saying there will be strong winds in the next two days? If you don't install it for me in one day, I will move into your house!"
"4th Floor Property Management Department: @4-2009 Miss Ni, my window is also broken and I am also waiting in line."
“4-2009 Sister Ni: Oh my God! Is there any justice in this world? How can I live like this?”
"3-1007 Qiqi, mother of two: Oh, luckily I got new windows a few days ago, the old ones would not have been able to withstand it."
“2-1908 Coconut Tree: Thanks to someone’s reminder a few days ago, I can’t queue up now. @B16 Summer Time, thank you kind people.”
Xia Shige replied:
"B16 Summer Time: You're welcome. The forecast predicts strong winds in the next two days. Everyone, try not to go out and stock up on food at home."
Then she turned off her phone and walked into Jingjing Supermarket, where many people were buying food and daily necessities.
At the cashier counter, Xia Huiyin and Xia Guocheng were one packing bags while the other was scanning a code. They had learned how to operate the cash register two days ago and quickly got the hang of it.
Lin Jingjing's brother Lin Shuo and father Lin Yuanfeng were busy restocking the shelves.
For safety reasons, Lin Yuanfeng and Lin Shuo did not go out to drive the car, but came to the supermarket to help.
Lin Jingjing saw Xia Shige coming in, and came over to whisper, "Shige, business has really picked up today. The turnover in this morning is equivalent to that of half a month some time ago."
"Is everything okay at your home?" Xia Shige asked.
"We went back to check before daybreak. It's OK. It's safe after being fixed. We plan to go home tonight. Shi Ge, thank you for reminding us. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to get in line. I heard that the decoration department is full."
Xia Shige smiled and shook his head, "You're welcome."
Suddenly a customer asked, "Boss, why are the lettuces sold out so early this morning?"
There is a small fresh food area in the supermarket, selling some vegetables, fruits and eggs.
Lin Yuanfeng wiped his sweat. "Yesterday's tornado destroyed a lot of vegetable fields. People have been busy counting the damage all day. I rode my tricycle to the vegetable market nearby early in the morning, and I only bought this much vegetables."
