Li Mengdi silently rubbed her face, adjusted her state, and answered: "It's a few sweet potatoes... There's a charcoal fire burning, let's roast them and eat them."
Then, Li Mengdi turned around and prepared to put the sweet potatoes on the charcoal stove.
When Li Guangzong heard that there were sweet potatoes to eat, his eyes lit up with excitement!
He sat up suddenly, threw back the quilt, and cheered: "Sweet potatoes? That's great! We have sweet potatoes to eat!"
The other people were also very excited when they heard that they had sweet potatoes to eat. You know, since buying this house, Li Mengdi’s savings have been all gone. They have no money to buy other food and have been eating sand rattan cakes for several days in a row.
Li Minhong stared at the sweet potatoes in the stove and asked in confusion: "Mengdi, where did these sweet potatoes come from? Did you buy them in the dark?"
Yu Yuan also gently asked, "My dear daughter, didn't you say before that you had no money left after buying the house? How come you have money to buy sweet potatoes again? Did you get paid again?"
Li Guangzong's eyes rolled around, and then he climbed down from the bed, grabbed Li Mengdi's arm and whispered coquettishly: "Sister, how much salary did you get this time? ... I want to eat pork, dear sister, please buy it for me! I only want a small piece, I promise, I will listen to you in the future."
Li Mengdi pushed Li Guangzong's hand away helplessly and replied, "I haven't received my salary yet, and I didn't buy the sweet potatoes."
Then Li Mengdi turned around and said to her parents, "I forgot to tell you, when I went out this morning, I saw my aunt downstairs. Her family just happened to move into 1501 downstairs from us, and she gave me these sweet potatoes."
Yu Yuan was stunned when she heard this: "Your aunt? Which aunt?"
Li Mengdi answered, "It's Aunt Ying. Her family of four used to live in this community. Because it's going to snow in two days, they moved from the lower floors to 1501. She also told me that our two families can take care of each other in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuan showed an excited smile on her face. She immediately threw off the quilt and climbed out of bed.
While sorting her clothes, she said to her husband and son, "This is incredible! Sister Yingying is the best married among all of us sisters. Her husband is very capable! She can just give sweet potatoes to others. I mean her family must have some food in stock now! We have to visit her home!"
After hearing Yu Yuan's words, Li Minhong and Li Guangzong's eyes lit up with excitement. They ignored Li Mengdi, wrapped themselves in clothes, and went out to 1501.

Xia Shige and Xiao Tang walked out of the apartment building together. It was a cloudy day without the sun, and the community square was empty with not many people playing outside.
The sky was so gloomy that it seemed to be splashed with a layer of gray paint. The cold wind whistled past, bringing a biting chill, as if foreshadowing the coming heavy snow.
Xia Shige couldn't help but shrink her neck and pulled the scarf tighter.
Xiao Tang looked up at the sky and sighed, "It is said that a heavy snowstorm is about to begin."
Xia Shige nodded when he heard this. Now was the calm before the snowstorm.
The two of them walked into the sales office together, lifted the heavy door curtain, and the warm air blew in their faces. Xiao Tang first added a few pieces of charcoal to the coal stove in the office, and then started working in front of the computer.
A few minutes later, Xiao Tang pointed at the display and said to Xia Shige, "Miss Xia, 1603 has not been sold yet. The tenant has rented it for a month. 1604 has not been sold either, but it has been rented by a tenant for three months."
Xia Shige nodded after hearing this, then she thought for a moment and said, "Please help me check if there are any unsold houses on the 15th and 17th floors."
Xiao Tang tapped on the keyboard a few more times, then he looked up and replied, "All the 15th floor units have been sold. Only two large units, 1705 and 1706, have not been sold on the 17th floor. The other four small units have all been sold."
Whether renting or living in, small-sized houses are more popular now. It is good to have a shelter in a natural disaster. A big house is useless.
Xia Shige pondered for a while, then said to Xiao Tang, "I want all four sets!"
