In the morning, Jiang Yao specially made a healthy and delicious breakfast for Xiao Mu and Shen Zhiyao (Shen Zhijie). She had no choice but to try it out first when asking someone for a favor.
Shen Zhijie looked at the breakfast in front of him and joked, "You poisoned it." He looked like he had done something wrong.
Xiao Mu raised an eyebrow at the breakfast and said, "It's so lavish, I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to eat this again." Then she smiled and looked at Jiang Yao.
She turned and left speechlessly, saying, "Eat it or not, it's up to me later."
As Xiao Mu watched Jiang Yao turn and leave, he knew that he would have another chance to eat the breakfast she made in the future.
After the meal, they went to the exchange counter to check in.
Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie used their points to purchase two two-bedroom apartments on the 9th floor of Building C, with a six-month lease. One apartment was given to Jiang Yao, and the other was for the two of them. The rent was offset by Jiang Yao cooking three meals a day for the two of them.
Next came packing and moving.
Jiang Yao put her personal belongings into her spatial storage, then went to the basement to put the extra food, water, and other personal items into her spatial storage. She took some of the supplies that Xiao Mu and the others had brought with them, and then moved the rest in batches.
When the group was moving, they saw that Cai Lin was also in the shelter in Building C. It turned out that Cai Lin's family was able to get in thanks to Jiang Yao and Zhu Hezheng's help. Otherwise, based on her family's contribution, they would only be entitled to live in a dormitory and only for half a month.
The floor is on the third floor, and I don't know if the third floor can survive the heavy rain season.
By the time the group had delivered the supplies, the wind had started to pick up again, and it gradually intensified over time. They realized it was a storm. The previous calm had simply been a prelude to the increased wind force.
The three of them decided to have hot pot together that evening, and Xiao Mu helped prepare it this time, because it was so delicious last time.
At this time, the radio began broadcasting news, advising citizens to purchase supplies at the nearest distribution center and informing them that a storm was approaching and was very likely to bring torrential rain.
However, they bought a lot of supplies yesterday, so there's nothing to worry about.
Since the power and internet are currently only temporary, Jiang Yao took advantage of the remaining time to download a few single-player games to play during the rainstorm.
It has only been six hours since the official notice to purchase supplies, and there has already been strong wind and rain outside, and the wind is gradually getting stronger.
Looking out the window, Jiang Yao could see that some people had gone home empty-handed because they hadn't managed to grab any supplies, while others had fallen because of the strong wind, causing their supplies to fall to the ground and attract a frenzy of snatching.
The windows rattled in the wind, and Jiang Yao noticed a few small hailstones on the windowsill.
A storm had formed, and the old houses, unable to withstand the wind, collapsed one by one. Fortunately, a safe shelter had been built. Seeing the rainstorm arrive ahead of schedule, Jiang Yao felt that something was different in this life.
The moment Cai Lin moved into the shelter, while electricity and internet were still available, she called her sister's family in the city center to tell them that the safe shelter in Shichang Village had been completed and to ask them to come over as soon as possible.
Outside, a fierce storm raged, but inside, the people quietly went about their own business. Jiang Yao played a newly downloaded single-player match-3 game, Xiao Mu continued reading, and Shen Zhiyao (Shen Zhijie) watched a TV series, occasionally letting out a burst of laughter.
Around 8 p.m., it started to rain heavily, and many people were relieved that the shelter had been completed ahead of schedule.
Jiang Sheng's family also successfully entered the shelter at this time. Due to the large number of people and the lack of rooms, Jiang Sheng's family had to stay at Cai Lin's house for the time being.
After Jiang Yao got home, she took a hot bath and saw messages in the group chat on her phone.
A resident of apartment 5010 in building C said, "The last time it was extremely cold, it lasted for more than half a year. How long will this rain last this time?"
A resident of apartment 8012 in building C said, "Let's go! Let's go! I've stocked up on a lot of food this time."
Upon seeing this, the resident of apartment 7003 in building C immediately replied: "@Resident of apartment 5010 in building C, shut your mouth."
Jiang Yao looked at the person who said there was plenty of food; she might be the first one to have it snatched away.
Zhang Sanjia: "Residents of Building C, 5010, fellow villager, we've been neighbors for a long time. You see, we haven't found a suitable room yet, could you take us in?"
The resident of apartment 5010 in building C replied, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to take you in, it's just that my apartment is really too small. You should know that the residents below apartment 6001 in building C all live in small bungalows."
"Ask other people."
Cai Lin, a resident of apartment 3003 in Building C, also asked, "Does anyone have a spare room? My sister's family moved in and they'd like to borrow a room for a while. They'll move out as soon as the rain stops."
No one in the group has replied. Everyone is afraid to let people stay in their homes. If the rain lasts a long time, they might not even have enough food to eat. Who would want to invite people to stay in their homes?
In the dead of night, Jiang Yao was awakened by thunder and lightning. Looking at the heavy rain outside, it was as if the sky had leaked and kept pouring down. Her cell phone signal was also intermittent, indicating that the temporary signal was not very stable.
Surprisingly, some people in the group were still awake at this hour, discussing the upcoming weather.
Resident of apartment 5010 in building C: "Holy crap, did you guys just see that?"
"A person went out in the rain and was struck by lightning."
A resident of apartment 8012 in building C wrote: "@Resident of apartment 5010 in building C, I saw it. What do you think he was doing going out in the rain so late at night?!"
The resident of apartment 7003 in building C: "@The residents of apartment 5010 in building C, @The residents of apartment 8012 in building C, what are you two doing up so late at night?!"
......
The group chat quieted down. Jiang Yao looked at the raindrops on the glass, so dense and large that they blurred the view. She wondered how long this torrential rain would last.
At 9 a.m., Jiang Yao woke up late because she hadn't slept well the night before. When she arrived at Xiao Mu's house, she saw Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie doing training. She found it a bit strange that an engineer from a decoration company would have to do physical training.
