More than ten days passed in a flash as the sun shone. During these days, Su Keke went out with the people on the 20th floor in a rubber boat to look for supplies during the day, and went to the neighboring kimchi country and cheese country with Grandma Qiao at night.
The floods in Korea seem to be more serious than those in China, and the food in major supermarkets has been basically sold out.
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao went to several places before they collected some skin care products, trendy clothing, hot packs, health supplements and pickles that had not been flooded.
It was raining huge hail in Cheese Country, each hailstone was as big as an egg. When Su Keke went there, it had been raining for a week, and there were ping-pong sounds everywhere, and the timid people at home would be scared to death.
Many places including farmland, factories, shopping malls, residential buildings, etc. were damaged by hail, and hospitals were overcrowded.
Even the roof of the ambulance that was used to provide emergency treatment was dented by the smash.
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao joined a factory that produced military rations.
The roof here was also hit by hail and had several holes in it. It seems that this house will not last long.
Su Keke found the warehouse where the finished military rations were stored. It was filled with packaged military rations of various sizes and specifications.
They didn't have time to take a closer look because the sound of hail outside was getting louder and louder, and they were afraid that the warehouse could not hold on.
I just put all the military rations in the space and open it when I get home to see what's inside. Su Keke had never eaten military rations before, so she was quite curious.
Fortunately, the capsule house was not affected by the hail during the flight, and she and Grandma Qiao soon arrived home safely.
As soon as he got home, Su Keke couldn't wait to go to the space to check the military rations that had been collected.
The quantity in a large warehouse is really a lot. Su Keke took a rough look and found that these military rations mainly come in two specifications.
One is 5 jin, the other is 2 jin. Su Keke took out a box of each type of military ration.
The 5-jin package is said to be enough for one person's three meals a day.
After Su Keke opened the box, there were three plastic spoons and three packs of wet wipes inside.
Six packs of wheat biscuits, a piece of chocolate, a small box of beef sauce, a small box of applesauce, a box of potato beef rice, a box of curry chicken rice, and a box of beef and vegetable rice.
These things are vacuum packed in tin boxes.
In addition to these foods, there is also a packet of instant coffee, a packet of black tea, a packet of white sugar, a packet of pepper, and two vitamin tablets for physical supplementation.
Finally, a simple heating tool is also provided.
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao were stunned to see so many things, and thought that the military rations were really thoughtful.
Su Keke opened the simple heating tool, which contained a box of matches, an iron sheet that could be twisted into a tripod, and a small piece of candle.
"Grandma Qiao, how about we try the Cheese Country's military rations for our midnight snack today?"
Su Keke picked up one of the boxes of potato and beef rice and shook it in front of Grandma Qiao.
"That's fine. I've never eaten military rations!" Grandma Qiao picked out the beef and vegetable rice.
Su Keke lit the small candle with a match, put the tripod on, and put Grandma Qiao's beef and vegetable rice on it to heat it up.
While the food was being heated, Su Keke opened the 2-jin package of military rations. It seemed like it was enough for one person's meal.
After opening it, it is basically a scaled-down version of the 5-jin package.
A plastic spoon, a wet wipe, a box of chocolate sauce, a bowl of vegetable soup, a tomato and beef brisket rice, a pack of biscuits, a can of luncheon meat, a pack of coffee, a pack of sugar, a pack of pepper, a vitamin tablet, and a heating tool.
After reading this, Grandma Qiao's beef and vegetable rice had been heated up, and then Su Keke went to heat up her own potato and beef rice.
In just two or three minutes, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao started eating.
"Hmm! It tastes pretty good!" Grandma Qiao was a little surprised, because the appearance of it was indeed very ordinary.
"Yes! The potatoes are soft and the beef is very fragrant." Su Keke said after taking a few bites.
These military rations are really good. This trip to the Cheese Country was not in vain.
…
On the twenty-fifth day after the sun came out, the flood waters on the ground of Changhong Community finally receded, and other places in Lingcheng also got rid of the flood problem one after another.
The loudspeaker of the municipal government is back in business.
Su Keke opened the window and could hear the horn outside more clearly.
"Dear citizens of Lingcheng, the flood that has troubled us for nearly three months has finally receded."
"After some discussion, the municipal office stipulated that all households in each community must send two laborers to participate in the cleaning of the community streets."
"This afternoon, the municipal office will send staff to come to your door to register the names of people who will participate in the work. We will provide three meals for everyone who participates in the cleanup work."
"Please cooperate actively and register well. We will officially start cleaning up the sludge and garbage in the city early tomorrow morning."
The same words were shouted over and over again through the loudspeakers. It was said that in each community, two people were responsible for walking around the streets and alleys to take turns shouting.
Many people in the building ran out of their homes and gathered in the corridor to discuss whether to go or not.
"Just go if they provide meals! My face has turned liver color from eating biscuits every day at home!"
"What if I still let you eat cookies?"
"The Municipal Office can't be that mean! Oh my god! Don't scare me, I'm about to vomit from all the cookies I ate!"
"There's a smell everywhere outside that's flooded. It's terrible! I'm sure I won't be able to stand it!"
"Didn't we say that every household has to send two people? If you don't want to go, just ask your 70-year-old parents to go! Anyway, you've been relying on them for so many years and they're old!"
"What are you talking about! Who is relying on their parents for support? My parents have a pension, so what if they are willing to spend it on me?"
As these people were talking, they actually started arguing.
The people on the 20th floor were all very supportive of the Municipal Office's request to participate in the cleanup work this time.
The flood lasted for more than two months, and those who were trapped in the buildings threw almost all their domestic sewage and garbage into the flood.
There were even dead bodies of humans and animals inside.
If these things are not cleaned up in time, a plague will occur.
In the previous life, perhaps because the government did not have enough supplies and did not provide three meals a day, many people were unwilling to come out to clean up.
Even if you send someone to invite them, it's no use because they won't even open the door for you and will just hide at home pretending to be dead.
Small-scale epidemics also broke out due to untimely cleaning.
Many people had a high fever for many days. The hospital had no medicine and they had to bear it all by themselves. Those with good immunity could get better after lying at home for a few days, but those with poor immunity, like the elderly and children, many could not make it.
Su Keke would feel depressed whenever she thought about these things, but things should get better in this life. Didn’t the loudspeaker just say that the municipal office would take care of three meals a day?
Many people now have no food stored at home and usually rely on government relief food to survive.
If people can go out to clean the streets and mud, and someone will take care of their three meals a day, Su Keke believes that many people will be willing to go.
As long as the silt and various domestic waste in every place can be cleaned up in time, the plague may not break out.
This is the butterfly effect...
