"We all have to survive. After we get through this cold winter, we can go fishing together again! This time I'll tell you the recipe for my exclusive bait!"
"In fact, I almost didn't make it. I woke up from the cold last night and found that the stove was out and the last piece of coal was used up! I thought that night would be the day I died, but the community built this shelter for us, so we shouldn't die now!"
"My family ran out of coal a few days ago. And my furniture is all made of solid wood. I have to chop furniture and burn wood to survive these days!"
"Alas, my family was lucky enough to survive, but my neighbor is gone... A family of six, all frozen to death. How much better it would have been if this shelter had been built a few days earlier..."
“…”
Xia Huiyin and Xia Guocheng were helping the owners who came to take refuge to allocate rooms, while the Lin family father and son and several emergency office staff were maintaining order. They asked the new owners to line up and call their numbers in order.
Xia Shige looked around and found that the corridor on the 23rd floor had been newly paved with insulation material. There were also two braziers in the corridor. The flames were dancing, emitting heat, bringing some warmth to the cold corridor.
At this moment, Xia Shige saw Xia Huiyin taking a family to 2305. She thought about it and followed them.
After entering 2305, you can see that the walls and floors of 2305 are also covered with thick insulation materials. There is a stove in the middle of the living room. The fire is burning very brightly at this moment, and the temperature in the room is obviously much higher than outside.
Xia Shige wore a lot of clothes when she went out that day. Her skin was very sensitive. After learning the lesson of frostbite last time, she wrapped herself like a dumpling with three layers inside and three layers outside this time. She even wore three pairs of socks. Now she was sweating slightly.
There were already quite a few people living in the living room. The owners had spread their mattresses neatly on the floor and arranged them closely together in order to make the best use of the limited space.
In the living room, some people were talking to each other, some were tidying up their luggage, some were roasting sand rattan cakes on the fire, and some were lying on the mattresses and closing their eyes to rest.
Xia Huiyin glanced at the living room and said to the family of seven she had just brought in, "There's still room for four people in the living room. You can stay in the living room for four people, and the other three can go to the second bedroom."
The family of seven opposite looked at each other in confusion when they heard this.
After a while, one of the men in military coats rubbed his hands and said to Xia Huiyin with some embarrassment: "Comrade, could you please help us coordinate... Our family wants to live together so that we can take care of each other..."
Another elderly woman also said in a tearful voice: "Yes, comrade, please help us, don't separate us... It has come to this, even if we die, our family must die together..."
Although this may sound a bit unlucky, it is understandable. The family has depended on each other and endured the hardships until now, and they really don't want to be separated again.
Xia Huiyin glanced at the registration form again, then raised her head and said, "The living room of 2303 should be able to accommodate six more people... I see that you have two underage children, so if we squeeze together, we should be able to accommodate them. If you don't mind, go over there!"
The family across the street heard what Xia Huiyin said and thanked her repeatedly, "Don't mind, don't mind, it's okay if we squeeze in. Thank you, comrade! We'll be there soon!"
After the family left, Xia Shige was about to go over and say hello to Xia Huiyin when an accident happened.
Suddenly, a girl in a red down jacket ran out of the second bedroom. She grabbed Xia Huiyin's arm and said in panic, "Stop it, stop it. There's a quarrel in the second bedroom! Aunt Xia, come over and take a look. Those people are going to beat up the sister with the dog!"
Xia Shige, who was standing by, was stunned when he heard this - a sister with a dog?
Xia Shige didn't think much about it and quickly ran to the second bedroom to see what was going on.
