"Grandma Qiao, the extreme cold is coming in a few days. I want to find a reason to take the people on the 20th floor out to stock up some firewood!"
Su Keke sat on the sofa, stroking Tangyuan's round head and said.
"Is the extreme cold coming so soon?" Grandma Qiao was stunned for a moment and said nervously.
"Yes! There was no sign, it came suddenly. In the previous life, many people were not prepared. The sudden drop in temperature in the middle of the night froze many people to death."
"We were lucky enough to be woken up by the cold. Later, we huddled together and covered ourselves with four quilts before we recovered."
Su Keke held Tangyuan in her arms, and her whole body trembled as if someone had suddenly poured a basin of cold water on her.
I don’t know if this can be considered a sequelae of the injury, but whenever Su Keke thinks of the suffering she and Grandma Qiao experienced in her previous life, her body will tremble involuntarily.
Seeing this, Grandma Qiao ran over quickly, sat next to Su Keke and comforted her softly, "I believe that we will be fine in this life."
Su Keke held Grandma Qiao's warm hand and relaxed instantly.
In this life, they have space and supplies, so they will definitely live better than in the previous life. But what about others?
Su Keke thought of Lu Mei's family, Shi Huan and Meng Yi on the 20th floor.
I must try my best to make life better for those who gave me warmth in my previous life without exposing their feelings.
There were also Uncle Lei, Uncle Lin and Aunt Chen who had helped her in this life. Although they lent her money for the sake of her father Su Jianming, Su Keke always remembered this kindness.
Now I have stored a lot of supplies in my space. After Uncle Lei and his family experienced the super typhoon and flood, the supplies at home are probably running out.
Su Keke had to think of a way, preferably to send some supplies to them without anyone noticing.
"Dear citizens, please note that there may be a significant drop in temperature in the near future. Please take protective measures to keep warm, especially when sleeping at night. Be sure to close the doors and windows and cover yourself with more quilts. Don't be careless."
The loudspeakers of the municipal office sounded again in the streets and alleys.
Su Keke thought to herself, it was really a relief that someone handed her a pillow just when she felt sleepy. The government in this life was so awesome that it was worth it for her to send five emails in a row.
"The municipal government must be crazy. How can the temperature drop in autumn in our southern region? I only wore a shirt today and it was still very hot at noon."
"Never mind! We're not going out in this situation. The worst that can happen is just a matter of adding an extra piece of clothing."
Many people did not pay attention to the loudspeaker reminder from the Municipal Office. Even other people on the 20th floor felt that the government was being a little too worried this time.
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao said that it is better to believe it than not to believe it, and it never hurts to be prepared for everything.
"Then how are you going to prepare?" Lu Mei asked puzzledly.
"Grandma Qiao and I plan to go out for a walk first to see if there are any cold-weather items we can stock up on. We'll bring some back for you then."
Su Keke said with a smile.
"That's fine! We went to the store yesterday and saw that all the clothes were soaked by the flood. Today, we plan to go and clean them up as a family."
Meng Yi and his friends said they were not planning to go out today. They felt that the weather had returned to normal now, and perhaps electricity and the Internet would be restored soon, and the company would soon notify them to go to work.
In the past few days, the people on the 20th floor have actively responded to the government's call and participated in street cleanup work for several days.
Now that they finally have a day or two to rest, they just want to lie at home and not go anywhere.
In fact, it would be better if they didn't go. Su Keke could take things out of the space and say that she and Grandma Qiao stockpiled them outside.
After the two of them left Changhong Community, Su Keke found a deserted place and took out the Mercedes-Benz G from the space.
"Coco! Where are we going?" Grandma Qiao asked while sitting in the passenger seat.
"Go to the mountains and chop wood. Using wood to make a fire at home is a very good way to keep warm in extreme cold."
Su Keke said while driving.
Now the entire Lingcheng has been cleaned up. Although many living facilities cannot be restored, the roads are no longer congested.
Vehicles parked on the roadside that were flooded were also towed away by tow trucks.
"Then let's go to Moyun Mountain! The terrain there is not too steep and the vegetation is lush. We will definitely be able to collect a lot of firewood if we go there." Grandma Qiao suggested to Su Keke while pointing in the direction.
Su Keke drove for about forty minutes and arrived at the Moyun Mountain that Grandma Qiao mentioned.
As soon as they got off the SUV, they found five large trucks parked at the foot of the mountain.
Su Keke went up to check. There was no one on the truck and no one around the foot of the mountain, so she put her off-road vehicle into the space first.
"These trucks are obviously new. There is no mud or sand on the truck bodies. They definitely were not parked here during the flood."
Su Keke turned around and looked at the trucks, frowning and saying.
"Could it be that he is here to chop wood like us? It seems that the loudspeaker of the municipal office is still useful." Grandma Qiao said happily.
"Such a large sum of money must not belong to ordinary people. It must be run by the municipal government or by some top wealthy person."
Su Keke thought to herself.
"Are we still going up?" Grandma Qiao asked, looking around.
"Of course, they store their water, and we store our water, so as not to interfere with others'."
After Su Keke finished speaking, she took Grandma Qiao and went up the mountain.
Moyun Mountain has not been developed, and the road leading up to the mountain was trampled out by nearby villagers.
Su Keke saw a group of people busy in the mountains from a distance.
Some people were picking up dead branches on the ground, some were sawing wood with electric saws, and some were responsible for bundling the wood and branches.
There are generators and professional binding ropes, and it is obvious that they are working in a team mode. They must be people from the municipal office.
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao deliberately found a place far away from them before starting to collect firewood.
The typhoon had been blowing for two months, and there were many dead branches and leaves on the mountains.
Grandma Qiao squatted down and picked up the branches on the mountain and put them all on an open space. When she had picked up a certain number of branches, she tied them together with a braided rope.
Su Keke took out a diesel generator and an electric saw from the space and cut wood like those people did just now.
Like those people, Su Keke would not cut down the whole tree, but only saw off some thick branches.
There are so many trees here, and if we cut one or two branches from each tree, we will have a lot of firewood.
You know, before the end of the world, it was illegal to cut down trees without permission. Su Keke thought that if she could leave some for nature, she should do her best.
Before they knew it, the two had been here for a long time. Grandma Qiao had tied 20 bundles of branches picked up from the ground, and Su Keke had sawed off almost 10 bundles of thick wood.
When the two of them took a break to drink water, Su Keke put the bundles of firewood into the space.
On the other side, the people from the municipal office didn't go down the mountain until after four in the afternoon.
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao sawed wood while taking a rest. They finally waited until everyone had gone down the mountain. Then they quickly tied up 10 bundles of wood and hurried down the mountain.
If you keep wasting time, it will be dark soon!
