Jiang Yao looked out through the peephole and saw that besides Aunt Zhang, Shen Zhijie was also there. Jiang Yao told Aunt Zhang to look for him later.
Jiang Yao opened the door and handed Aunt Zhang two antidiarrheal pills, saying, "One is enough for the child. Keep the other one safe. This is all I have left. I bought it when I first moved here."
"It's been raining for so many days in a row, so it's best to be careful about the child's diet."
Aunt Zhang took the medicine and thanked her repeatedly, saying, "Okay, I'll be careful. Thank you so much, Jiang Yao."
"Look at the important thing you gave me, I don't know how to repay you."
Jiang Yao looked at Aunt Zhang and said, "How about this? I don't have much grain either, so why don't you trade some grain with me?"
Aunt Zhang said gratefully, "Okay, I'll get it for you now." Then she left with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Yao looked at Shen Zhijie and said, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Shen Zhijie: Haha, can I say that I seem to smell a delicious aroma that's making me so hungry that I can't sleep?
So embarrassing, I could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of my toes from this embarrassment.
Shen Zhijie explained, "Aunt Zhang knocked on the door and asked if I had any antidiarrheal medicine, so I told her I didn't."
"I'll knock on your door when I'm done." He said, yawning as he walked away.
When Aunt Zhang handed Jiang Yao the grain, she quietly told her, "I put three sweet potatoes inside. Keep them safe." Then she left.
Jiang Yao grabbed Aunt Zhang and asked, "Aunt Zhang, how many sweet potatoes do you have left?"
Aunt Zhang said in surprise, "There's another box. This stuff should be grown in every household in the countryside."
"What, you want it?"
Jiang Yao thought that if the sweet potatoes sprouted properly, they could be planted. She also had flowerpots, potting soil, and seeds of other plants in her space.
Thinking of this, he said to Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, please take these grains and wait for me."
Jiang Yao went home and took out a 500g bag of wood ear mushrooms. You know, a handful of wood ear mushrooms can be soaked into a lot, plus 5 packs of instant noodles, which is a good alternative for children who have been eating a monotonous diet for a long time.
Jiang Yao said to Aunt Zhang, "I'll trade this bag of wood ear mushrooms and five packs of instant noodles for some sweet potatoes. You won't lose out, Aunt Zhang."
Aunt Zhang knew that a child's diet couldn't be monotonous while they were growing, so she agreed to exchange the wood ear mushrooms, the grains and instant noodles she had just eaten, for 5 jin of sweet potatoes for Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao took the sweet potato home, closed the door, and sat in the living room watching the rain outside. She couldn't sleep at all. In her previous life, she had never heard of shelters being built in advance, whether it was extreme cold or torrential rain. She was only notified of the existence of shelters when the military provided rescue during the later stages of a torrential rain. This life has really changed.
Jiang Yao slowly fell asleep with questions in her mind.
The next day, Jiang Yao took breakfast from her spatial storage and knocked on the door next door. Seeing it was Xiao Mu, she opened the door and handed over the breakfast, saying, "Sorry, I overslept."
Xiao Mu noticed the dark circles under Jiang Yao's eyes and knew that Aunt Zhang's knocking on the door last night had disturbed her sleep, so he said, "Why don't you stop bringing food for the next few days? We can cook for ourselves!" After saying that, he took the breakfast to the dining room.
Watching Xiao Mu's retreating figure, Jiang Yao was somewhat moved. No more delivering food! That meant she could eat whatever she wanted, haha, she was overjoyed.
Xiao Mu turned around and saw the look of joy on Jiang Yao's face, as if she was about to take off. For the first time, he felt his personal charm was declining.
She went to the bathroom with doubts and looked at the man in the mirror with his neatly trimmed short hair, his facial features were distinct and deep, and his eyebrows were slightly raised. Was he getting uglier as he grew up?
Jiang Yao returned home and sat on the windowsill, looking down through the glass. She noticed that the rain had intensified, and the power lines were swaying violently in the wind, as if they might fall at any moment.
Since she didn't need to deliver food to the neighbors, Jiang Yao would put the bed in her space during the day when she had nothing to do, then take out a PODO leather bed from her space and put it on, changing into a floral four-piece bedding set. Even in the apocalypse, we should enjoy ourselves if we have the means!
The curtains need to be changed too; let's put back the old blackout curtains!
After getting everything done, Jiang Yao lazily leaned back on the sofa, watching as the group messages on her phone started to become active again.
A resident of apartment 1010 in building C said, "I see the rainwater has already reached the first step of the building entrance. Do you think the water level will continue to rise?"
A resident of apartment 8012 in Building C said, "That's when you see the advantages of living on higher floors. They told you all to rush to buy apartments on the ground floor."
A resident of apartment 1010 in building C said, "Wasn't it because there was no elevator back then?"
"Besides, if there were an elevator, I'd still want to go to the 8th floor."
A resident of Building C said with a gloating expression, "Don't talk about the choices we made back then. It's too late!!"
Resident of apartment 3010 in building C: "How can you talk like that?"
A resident of Building C said, "What did I say? If you're afraid of climbing stairs, then just stay here since you chose a lower floor!"
Resident of Unit 1011, Building C: "Resident of Building C, what is this...?"
Jiang Yao muted the group messages and began her planting plan for the day.
Jiang Yao first cleaned the sweet potatoes, selected some that had sprouted, and took out nutrient soil, seeds, and flower pots from her spatial storage. These flower pots were a gift from her grandmother when she bought too many. She placed the sweet potatoes in the flower pots, covered them with a layer of soil to encourage root growth, and then they could be planted normally once the roots were established.
Prepare some more flower pots and plant some cabbages and cucumbers.
Open the drainage hole at the bottom of the flowerpot and water and fertilize the planted vegetables according to the instructions.
Jiang Yao was a little worried, so she searched for potted plant cultivation techniques online. After all, it was her first time doing it, and she was a bit unsure of herself.
Although there are enough seeds, they cannot be wasted.
Next, we just wait for it to sprout.
