"Come and play earlier! Our mahjong table is already set up!"
Su Keke saw Lu Mei sending a message in the group @her, Grandma Qiao, and Meng Yi and Shi Huan from 2002.
"We'll be there right away!" Shi Huan and Meng Yi said at the same time.
"I'll go to the balcony and pick a few eggplants and bring them over. I'll wrap them in tin foil. The garlic eggplants taste delicious when roasted!" said Grandma Qiao.
"Okay! I'll wait for you!" Lu Mei made a waiting expression.
"Can I bring my cat over to play?" Su Keke took a photo of Tangyuan playing with a ball and sent it to the group.
"Wow! What a cute orange cat!" Shi Huan sent several cute expressions in the group. This is the cat she has always wanted to raise.
"Of course! I like cats too! But my mom doesn't allow me to keep one!" Chen Li sent a voice message in the group. He was too busy to type.
"Son! Why are you being lazy and playing with your phone again? Hurry up and skewer this plate of chicken wings!"
"Look, I've prepared two large plates of beef skewers!" Chen Da said, pointing to the beef skewers in front of him.
"Oh! I know, Dad! Didn't I just say it in the group?" Chen Li threw his phone on the table, picked up the chicken wings and started skewering them carefully again.
"Hurry up, both of you! Everyone's coming soon, and you haven't even finished this little job!"
Lu Mei moved the electric barbecue grill to the dining table in the living room, and found various seasonings and brushes from the cabinet and placed them on the table. There were also two large plates full of shrimps and cabbages that she had skewered.
Look at the two father and son in the kitchen, they are so weak. I asked them to skewer some beef and chicken wings, but they took a long time to finish.
The first person to arrive was Su Keke. She was holding glutinous rice balls in her arms and a big watermelon in her hands.
Then came Meng Yi and Shi Huan from 2002. They both brought a box of canned beer.
Grandma Qiao arrived the latest. She picked a lot of eggplants, bok choy and green peppers that she grew and brought them over.
"Aunt Qiao, Shi Huan, Keke, let's play a few rounds of mahjong first and let the men go to the grill! We just wait to eat!" Lu Mei gave her husband and son a look, and pulled Su Keke and the others to the mahjong table.
"Aunt Lu, is this okay?" Su Keke asked with a smile.
She hasn't played mahjong for a long time. Ye Ya used to like playing mahjong in that family. Sometimes when there was a shortage of one player, Su Keke would take over.
"Of course it can be done!" A group of male compatriots raised their hands to indicate that there was no problem.
Who would have thought that when others were spending huge sums of money to buy instant noodles, the residents on the 20th floor were actually eating barbecue. If the aroma wafted out from the window, I wonder how many people would cry out of greed.
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, the typhoon finally became a little smaller.
Qian Xiaoluo, wearing a thick raincoat, moved a 20-jin bag of rice, a 5-jin winter melon and a box of ham sausages into her second-hand seven-seater van. She wanted to take advantage of the low wind to deliver the food to her mother and brother.
Qian Xiaoluo always complained, but in her heart she couldn't bear to see her mother and brother go hungry.
In order to facilitate delivery to customers, Qian Xiaoluo spent 8,000 yuan to buy this 7th-hand van. This old car has many problems and now it has been raining in front of the store for a week. I don’t know if it can still be driven.
"Xiao Luo! Have you gone out yet? We haven't eaten yet! We've been waiting for you!"
Qian Xiaoluo had just gotten in the car when her mother, Shen Sanmei, called again.
It was very windy and rainy in the afternoon and I couldn't go out at all. If Qian Xiaoluo hadn't turned off her cell phone at that time, she would have been annoyed by her mother's calls one after another.
"I'll be driving over right away, don't call me anymore!"
Qian Xiaoluo turned on the headlights. The road was full of potholes and puddles. She tried to drive slower, fearing that she would accidentally fall into a pothole.
It usually takes only half an hour to drive from the pet store to home, but now it takes Qian Xiaoluo more than an hour.
When they got home, her mother took rice and started cooking without saying a word to show her concern for Qian Xiaoluo.
The younger brother was even more outrageous. He came out of the room without even calling his sister. He picked up the box of sausages that Qian Xiaoluo had brought over in the rain and went back to his room to continue playing games.
In this family, Qian Xiaoluo is like a tool who only knows how to make money, and no one cares about her joys and sorrows!
"Mom! I'm leaving now!"
Qian Xiaoluo doesn’t have a room here. She used to sleep in the living room, but after she went out to work, she never lived at home again.
"Okay! Next time the supermarket is open, remember to buy some more rice, flour, grain, oil, and vegetables and bring them back. It's inconvenient for us to go out on this rainy day, and at least you still have a broken car."
Shen Sanmei was still mumbling in the kitchen, but Qian Xiaoluo was too lazy to listen and quickly left the old residential building.
…
"Little Meng! Fill it up quickly! Let's drink!" Chen Da and Meng Yi couldn't wait to drink.
"Keke! I just roasted these chicken wings. Try them. They're delicious!" Chen Li handed his roasted chicken wings to Su Keke like he was presenting a treasure.
"Alas...a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother! I haven't even had the chance to eat the chicken wings grilled by my son!" Lu Mei started to act dramatic again and teased her own son!
"Let's eat together. There are 10 skewers!" Su Keke shared the chicken wings that Chen Li gave her with everyone.
"The minced garlic eggplant is ready, come and try my cooking!"
Grandma Qiao tore open the tin foil on the plate, and a strong garlic aroma wafted into her nose.
"Hmm... Grandma Qiao, your food is delicious! It's better than what the barbecue restaurants outside offer!" Chen Li took two bites and immediately gave a thumbs up.
"Aunt Qiao, you have to teach me this later!" While eating, Lu Mei pulled Grandma Qiao to teach her the secret of making delicious roasted eggplant.
"Hahaha! If you're not in a hurry to eat it, I can teach you how to roast it right away!" Grandma Qiao put down her chopsticks and pulled Lu Mei to roast the eggplant.
"No way! You have to at least let me have two more bites!" Lu Mei quickly waved her hand, picked up the spoon and snatched two more bites of eggplant from her son.
"Hahaha...hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this scene.
Su Keke stayed in the next room until after 10 o'clock before coming back. Tangyuan had eaten so much that his stomach was full and he fell asleep on the sofa.
In the next few days, there will be door-smashing and looting incidents in supermarkets of all sizes in Lingcheng. Lu Mei and Chen Da next door realize the crisis.
In the previous life, they were the ones who mobilized Grandma Qiao and Shi Huan and others to go out and search for supplies. It was at that time that they met Su Keke who had fainted at the gate of the community.
There will be a power outage and internet connection soon. Su Keke wants to send an anonymous email to the public mailbox of the municipal government to tell about the natural disasters she has experienced in the past three years of the last world.
In the previous life, the floods flooded the government granaries in many parts of China, and Lingcheng was no exception. If they could be relocated earlier in this life, they might be able to save many people in the future.
Su Keke sent the message right away. She turned on her computer and found an email address that she had registered a long time ago.
I started writing emails, starting with the super typhoon on August 16, and then to the subsequent floods, extreme cold, extreme heat, acid rain, and earthquakes.
Su Keke tried to write as detailed as possible, giving the approximate date and severity.
After she finished writing, she sent it to the municipal office's email address. Afraid that the other party might not have seen it, Su Keke sent five identical emails in a row.
After finishing this task, Su Keke felt a lot more relaxed. As for whether the Municipal Office believed it or not, that was not something she could decide.
In short, this is all she should and can do...
