Chapter 41 Thank God for His Gift
There was a big knife on the table.
Simple and luxurious, the blade is slightly wider than his own Tang sword, and looks extremely sharp.
Shi Jiaojiao reached out and took the knife, then weighed it.
A hint of surprise flashed across his face.
Although it is a bit heavy, it is much more convenient for her to use than the Tang sword.
She had wanted to change her weapon for a long time, but had never found a suitable one. Unexpectedly, she found it here by accident today.
Shi Jiaojiao touched the knife happily, thanking God for the gift.
After everything was finished, the four of them worked together to fill the two cars.
It was loaded with supplies and was not moving very fast.
Shi Jiaojiao sat in the co-pilot seat, keeping watch with binoculars, always on guard against robbers who might suddenly appear in the middle of the road.
After returning to the community, both cars turned off their lights and drove back to the apartment building in the dark.
Although everyone knows now that they are fat sheep, they still need to keep a low profile to avoid attracting too much hatred.
Several people walked lightly, moving things back and forth for more than an hour before they finished.
Mu Ci thought of the group of people who were lurking downstairs today, and was afraid that his house would be robbed, so he asked Shi Jiaojiao and Wang Jia to stay, while he and Tang Wei went back to the club to move overnight.
The supplies were temporarily placed in Tang Wei's living room, piled up into two small hills, which made people feel particularly satisfied.
Shi Jiaojiao and Wang Jia did not rest either. They simply sat cross-legged in the living room to organize supplies.
The two of them took wet wipes and wiped the dust off the supplies one by one, and then divided them into four equal parts.
That night, they ran back and forth three times to move all the supplies.
When all the supplies were carried upstairs, it was already half past five in the morning.
This bumper harvest made everyone so excited that they couldn’t sleep, so they simply distributed the supplies first.
Various grains, rice, noodles, various seasonings, wine and beverages, various canned foods, mineral water, milk, and miscellaneous snacks.
If possible, divide it equally; if there are not enough, choose one yourself. In short, no one suffers any loss.
Since Shi Jiaojiao had already got the knife, she didn't pick out the rest.
It can be said that after this wave, everyone won’t have to worry for a year.
After the excitement passed, fatigue came over them. However, feeling sticky on their bodies, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci still went into the golden house, took a shower, and then fell asleep.
Shi Jiaojiao woke up from hunger around six in the afternoon.
After washing up, she walked into the living room, only to find that Mu Ci was not at home.
Strangely, this was the first time she didn't see her brother when she woke up.
Shi Jiaojiao held a box of milk in her mouth and was about to go downstairs to call Mu Ci back for dinner.
As soon as I opened the door, Mu Ci was standing outside.
Looks like he just came back.
"Brother, where have you been?" Shi Jiaojiao asked, while sitting at the dining table and going out to get today's breakfast.
What should I eat today?
Shi Jiaojiao glanced at the neatly arranged lunch boxes in the space, and finally took out a box of steamed dumplings, two egg pancakes, two bowls of Chongqing noodles, a serving of milk-flavored corn pancakes, and finally two bowls of tofu pudding.
"Go down and help them install the solar panels." Mu Ci changed his clothes and sat at the dining table.
Shi Jiaojiao nodded and took a sip of noodles. "Is everything ok?"
"Well, the downstairs has electricity now, so it's enough for two air conditioners." Mu Ci replied.
Shi Jiaojiao was busy filling her stomach and did not notice that when Mu Ci replied, the tips of his ears became particularly red, as if blood could drip from them.
Mu Ci pinched his ears, and felt relieved when he saw that Jiaojiao didn’t notice.
He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. From childhood to adulthood, he had been unable to change this habit of having his ears turn red whenever he told a lie.
At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, several people went out to collect relief food.
However, in addition to the ID card, Shi Jiaojiao also took the 500,000 cash that she found in the car last time.
She also suggested that Wang Jia and Tang Wei spend their money quickly.
However, Wang Jia's father had donated all the money long ago, and the remaining money was exchanged for gold bars, which were hidden in Wang Jia's hands.
Tang Wei looked constipated and a little distressed.
He hasn't seen cash in many years. All the money he earns is in a savings card, and he usually pays online.
I didn't expect the world to suddenly become like this. The money in the card can no longer be withdrawn, and it all turned into a string of useless numbers.
I worked so hard in the past and didn’t want to eat or wear anything, but now, all of it has gone to waste.
If he had known this earlier, he would have squandered it better than before.
After receiving the relief food, Shi Jiaojiao did not leave as usual, but asked the staff, "Can I still go to the supermarket to buy things now?"
The staff member glanced at Shi Jiaojiao and replied, "Sure, but we only accept cash now. If you don't have cash, you can use gold as payment."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded to show that she understood, then took the three people into the supermarket, gave each of them hundreds of thousands of yuan, and let them buy as they wish.
Forget about food, drinks and alcohol. Now there is a purchase limit on everything that can be imported.
Shi Jiaojiao took Mu Ci shopping in the supermarket, and most of the things they bought were things that they didn't need right now.
Down jackets, cotton shoes, cotton pants, thermal underwear, hats and gloves, electric blankets, blankets, etc.
I feel hot just looking at it.
Shi Jiaojiao didn't care about other people's looks at her as if she was a fool, and she just bought the best quality ones.
Although the prices of these things have also increased, because the weather is so hot now, the increase is relatively small compared to food.
Shi Jiaojiao directly chose two sets according to her and Mu Ci's sizes.
The rest are miscellaneous items, such as laundry detergent, shower gel, soap and so on.
Water is so scarce now, who would be willing to use water to take a bath, so these cleaning products are unsalable.
Tang Wei and Wang Jia were walking around and happened to run into these two people.
Tang Wei looked at the winter clothes in Shi Jiaojiao's hand, and the sweat on his forehead flowed faster.
But he is not a fool, he just buys whatever others buy.
But when I saw the price tag, I still hissed, "Why is the price going up so much when no one is buying?"
Wang Jia dug out her size from inside and said, "It's better than not being able to buy it later."
Ever since Shi Jiaojiao persuaded her last time, she has been feeling uneasy and always feels that she has too few supplies.
After paying the bill, they went straight home.
As soon as she got home, Shi Jiaojiao took out a popsicle and ate half of it in a few crunchy bites. Unexpectedly, the next moment, half of the popsicle was snatched away by Mu Ci.
Shi Jiaojiao stared with eyes wide open for a moment, then complained in a somewhat embarrassed and annoyed manner, "Brother, there are still some in the refrigerator, why did you take mine!"
Although she and Mu Ci are as close as siblings, they are all adults. Isn't it inappropriate to share a popsicle?
She always felt a little uncomfortable.
"Eating so much ice is not good for your health. Half a stick per person is just right." There was no expression on Mu Ci's face.
Seeing Mu Ci like this, Shi Jiaojiao wondered if she was being too pretentious. After all, it was not like they had never eaten from the same bowl of rice before.
But, I still feel something is wrong.
Weird.
A dreamless night.
Shi Jiaojiao had just finished her first meal of the day when she heard the sound.
"I'm going downstairs. There's something wrong with their solar panels. You stay home and don't eat popsicles secretly." Mu Ci explained carefully.
Shi Jiaojiao felt a little puzzled as to why her brother kept running downstairs recently, but she kept nodding in agreement.
Little did she know, there was nothing wrong with the solar panels downstairs.
As soon as Mu Ci came downstairs, Wang Jia opened the door.
"Finally here, I thought Jiaojiao would cling to you." Wang Jia grinned.
