Chapter 110: Poor Woman
When she woke up the next day, Shi Jiaojiao suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and immediately felt something was wrong.
Ever since she took the pills to improve her physical fitness, she has never been tortured by her period again.
This time, it was probably because I caught a cold from the rain yesterday.
Oh, why is it so difficult to be a woman?
Shi Jiaojiao sighed and sat up.
It was fine when I was lying down, but as soon as I sat up, everything from below gushed out like a flood.
Shi Jiaojiao couldn't bear it any longer and immediately went into the space to clean up.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful for the existence of the Golden House.
Otherwise, what awaits her now is the double trouble of menstrual pain and inability to go to the toilet.
After cleaning up, he took off the dirty sheets, replaced them with new ones, and put a small mat on top.
Shi Jiaojiao lay back on the bed, curled up, and covered herself tightly with the quilt.
Mu Ci cooked some red dates, longans and brown sugar water and kept it warm on the stove.
He also stuffed two hot water bottles into Shi Jiaojiao's quilt.
Place one next to your belly and one on the soles of your feet.
Even during breakfast, Mu Ci didn't let Shi Jiaojiao get out of bed.
He directly moved a small table and placed it on the bed.
Shi Jiaojiao looked helpless, "Brother, there's no need to be like this. I'm not that weak."
Mu Ci glanced at her and said, "Do you want to regret it when your health deteriorates?"
It will be difficult to see a doctor and take medicine in the future. Often, some serious illnesses are caused by lack of attention in daily life.
Shi Jiaojiao knew that her brother was doing this for her own good, so she didn't talk back and just ate her meal obediently.
After dinner, Mu Ci stuffed Shi Jiaojiao directly into the bed and pressed down every corner of the quilt.
He said gently, "Sleep a little longer."
Shi Jiaojiao had just eaten and was a little sleepy, so she nodded obediently.
When she woke up again, it was already noon.
Shi Jiaojiao lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
At this point, I felt much better and the pain was not as obvious.
She wrapped herself tightly, holding a hot water bottle, and walked into the living room.
The rain outside has stopped and the sun is high in the sky.
Shi Jiaojiao opened the curtains and saw that the water level had risen to the 5th floor.
It increased so much in just one night.
She also doesn't know how high the water level will rise in this life.
However, I have made so many preparations in advance. As long as I don't die instantly, I will always find a way to survive.
There was a lot of garbage floating in the turbid water outside, and even a few corpses that had rushed in from nowhere.
The corpse no longer looked human; it had swelled up like a balloon and had turned into a giant.
Shi Jiaojiao always felt like she was going to explode in the next second.
When I think of that scene, my scalp goes numb.
Shi Jiaojiao planned to open the window and measure the temperature outside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the window was opened a crack, a foul odor hit me in the face.
She immediately closed the window tightly and kept retching.
Mu Ci patted her back and held some juice in his hand for Shi Jiaojiao to rinse her mouth.
"It's disgusting and it stinks outside."
Shi Jiaojiao looked pale.
Mu Ci glanced at the sun in the sky and said, "There is no way to dispose of the garbage now. People in the community can only dump their garbage and feces into the water. When the sun shines on it, the smell will come out. It will be fine after it rains a little more."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded, and the next second she thought of something and picked up the intercom.
However, just as she finished speaking, Wang Jia's voice came from the intercom.
"Jiaojiao, you're too late."
Although the tone sounded relatively calm, one could still vaguely feel Wang Jia's collapse between the lines.
Although Shi Jiaojiao felt that she shouldn't laugh at this time, she couldn't help it after trying for a long time.
"Brother, the downstairs was also attacked by the stench."
Fortunately, although it smells a bit bad, at least it is not poisonous.
***
Shi Jiaojiao had no appetite in the morning, so she just drank two mouthfuls of porridge.
The pain is not so obvious now, and my appetite has improved.
I especially want to eat the sizzling grilled meat with various side dishes. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Looking at Shi Jiaojiao's greedy look and remembering her pale face in the morning, Mu Ci couldn't bear to refuse.
However, I controlled the amount and only gave her a few pieces to satisfy her craving.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was covered by thick dark clouds and it started to rain sparsely outside.
Shi Jiaojiao took a cushion and sat in front of the window, holding a cup of warm red dates and longan water in her hands, looking outside.
Since the rainstorm began, the sun has appeared less and less frequently, and gray skies have become the norm.
In this environment, solar engines have become useless.
The little light you absorb every day can only light a lamp at best, so forget about air conditioning and induction cookers.
A few days ago, Mu Ci simply dismantled the solar generator and solar panels and put them into the space, and replaced them with a diesel generator.
The bedroom is where we sleep, and in order to prevent colds, the air conditioner is always turned on very high.
In comparison, the temperature in the living room is much lower.
I just turned on the floor heating, but didn't start the air conditioner.
Although the temperature is not too high, it is enough to meet their daily activities.
After all, the human body needs to gradually adapt to different environments, and only by enhancing immunity can the chance of survival be increased.
It was raining and no one could go out.
Several of the small fish that we caught a few days ago died, so the four of us discussed it and decided to gather on the 19th floor and start roasting the fish.
Only in this way can the fish be stored longer.
Of course, forget about frying it as oil is so precious nowadays.
Everyone borrowed Tang's barbecue grill for heating, and each person contributed a portion of coal.
Each person also contributed a portion of the seasoning.
Although it cannot be fried, it is still affordable if you brush it with a little oil.
Mu Ci mixed various seasonings together to make a marinade. Since there was no onion, ginger, or garlic to remove the fishy smell, he just poured some foreign wine.
As time went by, the aroma of grilled fish gradually wafted out.
As soon as the fish was grilled, everyone ate one while it was still hot.
Tang Wei finished eating and breathed a sigh of relief.
This fish is so delicious that I want to swallow my tongue.
Accompanied by the sound of rain outside the window, the four of them divided the work and worked busily.
It's raining like this and the weather is prone to getting humid, so each fish is grilled very dry.
Shi Jiaojiao used the excuse that the refrigerator at home was still usable, so she and Mu Ci baked their portions a little lighter.
Tang Wei and Wang Jia nodded, with no intention of exploring further.
The aroma of grilled fish slowly wafted out.
This instantly caused the stomachs of other people in the building to growl.
They have no way to deal with something as precious as hot pot, but who doesn’t have a few fish at home?
No seasoning?
Then sprinkle a little bit of salt and it will be fragrant enough when grilled.
These people started to work, and the fragrance spread farther and farther.
Shi Boli's family gathered together, each holding half a multi-grain cake in his hand.
Of course they also smelled the fragrance.
But before that, their eyes were all on Shi Jiaojiao's supplies, so how could they look down on such small fry?
Shi Tianjiao finished the multi-grain cake in just a few bites, but the smell made him even hungrier.
The grandmother looked at her grandson with great heartache and was about to give up her own food rations.
Unexpectedly, before she could open her mouth, the food in her hand was snatched away by Shi Tianjiao.
