Chapter 27: Phone Call from Ex-Mother-in-law



Jiang Yuan hurried over, hugged her daughter, and patted her back gently.

"Go to sleep, baby, mommy is here..."

Jiang Yuan woke up early the next morning, having only slept for four or five hours.

I took out my phone out of habit. There were a lot of messages in the group, and they were all discussing going out shopping.

It was a boy on the fifth floor who brought it up, saying that a neighbor had bought it and they had been discussing it all night.

Her phone was on silent, so she didn't hear it.

The result seemed to be that the resident of 0302 had a box truck at home, which was parked in the basement garage.

The car has a high chassis and if the water level is not too high, it can get through and carry a lot of things.

Many people think that they can hitchhike across, which is at least much better than wading through the water by themselves.

Of course, there are also people who don’t want to move and ask others to help carry some things for them.

Especially the one on the 20th floor, she sends the most messages, but no one pays attention to her.

Finally, everyone decided to follow the people on the third floor out. The uphill road had shallower water and there was no problem at all.

Each person paid part of the fare, and there were 22 families going together.

This is the result of the chain. Jiang Yuan looked at it carefully and did not participate in it. It may be that she did not see it, or she may not want to join in.

The young lady on the 11th floor did participate, and I hope they can return safely.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan got up decisively, but as soon as she left the quilt, she shuddered unconsciously.

The weather seems to have gotten a lot colder.

I opened the curtains, but the heavy rain was still continuing with no sign of stopping.

She went into the closet and found a set of thin coral fleece pajamas, and also took out a set for Xiao Nuan.

The little girl woke up when she heard the noise.

Jiang Yuan put the clothes in the quilt and kept them warm for a long time before waking her up.

Qin Yue made white rice porridge, which she served with pickled mustard tuber and steamed buns stuffed with beans and pork. Jiang Yuan ate it with great satisfaction.

There won't be too many days like this.

Seeing her put down her bowl and chopsticks, Jiang Xingzhi asked with a worried look on his face: "My daughter, you said yesterday that the situation outside was not good. What did you mean?"

Looking at the dark circles under her father's eyes, Jiang Yuan knew that he must not have slept well.

"Dad, you haven't been thinking about it all night!"

As she spoke, Qin Yue rolled her eyes at him and said, "You don't understand your father's bad character. How can he fall asleep if he doesn't make things clear?

My daughter, tell me quickly, what happened outside?

Jiang Xingzhi also looked helpless: "You're still talking about me, aren't you curious too?"

Qin Yue glared at him fiercely, then turned to look at Jiang Yuan with a friendly expression, looking at her expectantly.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sit up, looking very serious.

“Dad, Mom, the situation outside is really not very good. When I went out yesterday, the water level was already high.

Although it's only up to the knees, the terrain here is high. If you look online, you can see that many places in the city center have been flooded.

There are basically no shops open outside, and there are only a few items left.

Do you remember that movie? If the heavy rain continues and the weather gets cold later, it will definitely freeze.

By then, it will be difficult to move forward.”

When talking about the movie, the old couple both had an impression of it and suddenly became serious.

"For things like this, it's better to believe it than not to believe it. It's better to be careful."

"Not only that, we also need to take this opportunity to get some more supplies, especially fresh fruits and vegetables. These things will probably be hard to come by later!"

"Then I'll go out and take a look today and buy some."

“No, Mom and Dad, you just stay at home and take care of the children.

Leave this kind of thing to me!

"That's fine, but next time, let your dad go with you."

"OK!"

Jiang Yuan knew that the old couple were worried about her, so she didn't say much.

Let’s talk about it when we really get out. There will always be a reason.

"By the way, Mom and Dad, I think the weather is getting colder, you should wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold.

If the hospital is closed, it will be troublesome if you get sick.”

"Yes, yes, my daughter is right. You can't get sick. Xiao Nuan also needs to be obedient and wear more clothes. Got it!"

"I know, grandma..."

A family of four, a burst of warmth.

Jiang Yuan also had a smile on her face. At around nine o'clock, the group started to become active and the large group was about to set off.

This building has direct access to the garage, and soon a container truck drove out of the community.

There was also a commotion in the building opposite. They must have seen someone going out and then had some ideas.

She didn't care about anything else and turned on the surveillance camera on the upper floor. It was quiet inside and there was no one there.

That shouldn't be the case, even if Xia Chaoyang and Bai Mengmeng are not here.

Could it be that Xia's mother and that adopted son also went out?

Or, did the whole family come to Lushan Yayuan? That would be really fun, but she wouldn't be able to use the surveillance camera she installed on the big flat. It was annoying! Now she felt ashamed to waste a penny.

There's nothing I can do about it, she's so short of money.

At around one o'clock, she saw the box of goods coming back.

It was very strange that the car was not parked in the garage but directly under the building in the community.

People came down one after another, carrying more or less something in their hands.

Jiang Yuan stood in front of the window and observed the situation downstairs with a high-powered telescope.

They did buy something, and it seemed that people from other buildings came over as well.

It looked like they were having a conversation and he was probably attracted to her.

Jiang Yuan watched coldly. If the others couldn’t buy anything and knew the situation in Building 13, they would probably be targeted.

Wait, it seems like the water level has risen. It’s hard for people to walk now. The water is at least above the knees.

So, the box of goods is not put into the garage not for delivery to everyone, but because it cannot be put in.

In just a few hours, the water level rose by more than 20 centimeters.

Looking at the dense and continuous raindrops, it's really driving people crazy.

Yes, they will not be able to get out soon.

But her space has not been filled yet, what should she do? When she was getting annoyed, her cell phone rang. It was Xia's mother.

What does this guy want to do? Jiang Yuan suddenly became interested.

The call was connected, and the person on the other end shouted impatiently.

"Is this Jiang Yuan? I'm your mother-in-law. Are your parents home?

They said that the supermarket upstairs has some stuff for sale now, so you should go buy some.”

Is the old woman so kind? She expressed great doubt.

"Jiang Yuan, are you listening?"

"Um!"

After receiving a positive reply, Old Mrs. Xia was obviously relieved.

"We have also come to Lushan Yayuan. There are elderly and sick people at home. Please ask your father to help me buy some things."
