Xia Shige didn't know what Lu Bo was planning, so she asked Lin Jingjing to come to her house for dinner that day.
My uncle and mother went to the supermarket, and my aunt went to work in the factory. Only Xia Shige, my grandmother and Grandma Liu were at home.
The temperature has soared in the past few days, the sky is cloudless, and the sun is directly in the sky. The photovoltaic panels installed by Xia Shige are very powerful and can steadily power up all the electrical appliances in the home.
"Wow, your house is so cool, even the yard is cool." Lin Jingjing looked around curiously after entering the house.
"Your yard has been turned into a vegetable garden. I thought this kind of villa area was all about growing flowers and gardening." Lin Jingjing said, "No wonder you brought so many vegetables to the supermarket to sell."
"They were planted by the elders in my family when we first moved here, and they have started to grow recently." Xia Shige replied with a smile.
At this time, grandma came down from upstairs and said, "Jingjing is here, I'll go get some fruit for you."
The white cat also jumped onto the sofa and lay there quietly.
After a while, grandma brought in a large plate of fresh strawberries, and the sweet fragrance of strawberries filled the living room.
These are the strawberry seedlings that grandma planted in the yard last month. With the irrigation from Taoyuan Creek, this crop of strawberries has begun to ripen.
When Lin Jingjing saw the strawberries, her eyes immediately lit up. "Your family can still eat strawberries. You are so lucky. You don't know that you can hardly see fruits on the street now."
The fresh food section of Jingjing Supermarket has been changed to the cold drink section. A few days ago, some people regretted not buying vegetables because they thought the prices were too high. Everyone hasn’t eaten vegetables and fruits for a long time.
Lin Jingjing stuffed a strawberry into her mouth. The sweet and sour juice filled her mouth, and the sweet aroma of the strawberry lingered in her mouth and nose. She said as she stuffed the strawberry into her mouth:
"This year is really weird. It's April now, but the temperature is really high and abnormal. An old lady who lives next door to me didn't want to turn on the air conditioner, so she got heat stroke and was sent to the hospital. Everyone said it was because the strong wind a few days ago blew away all the clouds, and the sunlight was not blocked by clouds, so it was hot."
"These past few days, all the cold drink cabinets in supermarkets have been emptied by businesses in the community. The cold drink factory is too busy delivering goods because there are too many orders. My brother drives himself to pick up the goods every day. Two large supermarkets even had a fight over a batch of ice cream just the other day!"
Lin Shuo hasn't been out doing long-distance freight transportation during this period. The weather is too hot, so he simply goes to the supermarket to help.
As Xia Shige listened, he thought to himself, the current factories can still operate and produce, but after a few days of industrial power rationing, these factories will stop operating and you won't be able to buy products even if you want to.
At noon, grandma and Grandma Liu had prepared lunch, including braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork with winter melon, beef brisket with tomatoes, and two stir-fried seasonal vegetables, six dishes for four people.
Lin Jingjing exclaimed that she was very happy. Her grandmother and Grandma Liu liked her very much. They kept serving food to her. Lin Jingjing ate three bowls of rice in a row, and her belly was full.
After the meal, the two of them rested for a while and then went to Jingjing Supermarket. Before leaving, grandma packed a big box full of vegetables and strawberries for Lin Jingjing. Lin Jingjing did not refuse and thanked grandma happily.
The weather was too hot, Xia Shige and Lin Jingjing both held parasols and felt the sweat running down their backs.
The two chatted as they walked. Lin Jingjing said, "The small restaurants next to our supermarket have all closed since the tornado because it's basically impossible to buy vegetables now. There's only one noodle soup restaurant that's still barely open. I went there once and it only had noodles and a little meat, no side dishes."
Xia Shige nodded and listened. After a while, the prices of rice, flour and meat would soar.
When they arrived at the super stage, Xia Shige only saw Xia Huiyin, and Xia Guocheng was unable to get on the super stage.
