"Who is it?" Lei Mu looked out the door through the peephole of his house.
It was so chaotic outside that he didn't dare to open the door in the middle of the night.
"This...this...so many supplies?"
Wherever Cat's Eye went, it was filled with supplies.
There is everything to eat and use, how is this possible? Lei Mu shook his head vigorously, could it be that he was hallucinating because of the cold?
After the flood receded, Lei Mu not only participated in the cleanup tasks organized by the municipal government, but also went out with his son to look for supplies.
Where can you find supplies outside now? All major supermarkets are either emptied or flooded by floods.
These days, their family has been living on relief food.
His wife Mu Jie has never had a very good stomach, and it is really miserable for her to eat these dry compressed biscuits with him every day.
"Lao Lei, why are you standing there? Who is outside the door?"
Mu Jie wrapped the quilt tightly around herself, rubbed her hands and blew air into her mouth.
Lei Mu calmed himself down and looked out again with his eyes close to the cat's eye. Those things were still there. "It should...it shouldn't be an illusion!"
Lei Mu nodded and shook his head, and Mu Jie thought he was having an epilepsy.
"Wife! Come and see!"
If Mu Jie also saw it, then the supplies at the door must be real. It can't be that both of them were hallucinating!
"Oh my god... where did all these supplies come from?"
Mu Jie was also shocked, but she was much smarter than Lei Mu.
No matter where these supplies at the door come from, just open the door and move them in.
If the Shi family next door saw this, they would definitely come out to snatch it!
As the door opened, an even colder wind blew in impatiently.
Seeing the supplies piled up so high that they could hardly fit in front of their door, Lei Mu and Mu Jie suddenly no longer felt cold.
In a few seconds, they took off their goose feather quilts and threw them on the sofa in the living room. The two of them ran back and forth many times before they moved all the supplies outside the door into the living room.
Su Keke flashed into the space the moment they opened the door. As long as Uncle Lei opened the door, it would be good! She was still in a hurry to deliver things to the other two families!
"Honey, look, here are a gas stove and a gas tank. I can cook porridge for you."
Lei Mu showed the gas tank in his hand to Mu Jie, and the happiness in his heart could not be described in words.
"There are also down jackets and duvets! Now we don't have to worry about the cold."
"Lao Lei, Lao Lei! There are actually fresh vegetables and beef! Where do you think these things come from? Who can have such fresh supplies nowadays? Even the government may not have them!"
Mu Jie opened the plastic bag surrounding her down jacket and put it on herself.
"How would I know that?"
Lei Mu responded casually, holding the military rations that Su Keke had brought from the Cheese Country in his hand, and he couldn't stop smiling.
"You said we haven't done anything good in our daily lives, so how come this pie in the sky happened to us?"
Lei Mu muttered to himself, still a little confused about what was happening.
After being surprised for a while, the two of them calmed down immediately.
We can’t let others see so many things, otherwise many people will get conjunctivitis.
I heard that there was a family living downstairs who posted photos of their food in the community owners’ group every day when the Internet was still connected.
A few days later, I was targeted. One day when I went to collect government relief food, I ran into them. Not only were all my supplies robbed, but I was also beaten up.
What the ancients said about not showing off your wealth is true!
Especially now, everyone is short of food. I suddenly have so many extra supplies that I have to hide them quickly. If the weather is good tomorrow, I will send some to my son.
Lei Mu hid all the rice and drinking water in the closet in another bedroom.
Down jackets and thermal underwear are kept in the storage cabinet under their beds.
Things like gas stoves and gas cylinders are taken to the kitchen when needed and are usually kept in the tool box.
Other vegetables, meats and military rations were all stored in the top cabinet of the kitchen. Usually no one would move a stool to stand up and check such a high place.
All the firewood was hidden in the shoe cabinet.
After hiding all the supplies, Lei Mu and Mu Jie felt a burning pain in their hands.
You won't know until you see it. The hands of both of them were already red from the cold and slowly became numb.
"Gloves...we have gloves!" Mu Jie quickly ran to the bedroom and took out the warm gloves that she had just hidden in the storage cabinet under the bed.
After all this trouble, the two men didn't want to sleep anymore. They took out some firewood from the shoe cabinet, found an unused iron pot, and warmed themselves by the fire in the living room.
In order to avoid carbon dioxide poisoning, Lei Mu opened the top ventilation window in the living room.
"Wife, I'll make you some lean meat porridge to nourish you. You've been suffering with me these days!"
"Everyone is having a hard time, why are you blaming yourself?" Mu Jie said with a smile.
"No one can predict natural disasters. We can only take things one step at a time. Staying strong at home is victory."
"My wife is right!"
Lei Mu carefully took out the gas stove from the tool box. He prepared to cut some lean meat, soak some rice, and cook lean meat porridge for Mu Jie.
He himself was attracted by the boxes of military rations. When he was young, Lei Mu had a dream of joining the army, but he did not do so for many reasons.
Now I really want to try the feeling of eating military rations!
I wonder what's here? Does it taste good? Is it the same as the food we usually eat?
While cooking porridge for Mu Jie, Lei Mu couldn't wait to open a 5-jin box of military rations for himself.
Wow, there are so many things in here. There are food and drinks, and even vitamin tablets!
There is also a heating tool in it. Lei Mu raised the corner of his mouth, took out a box of tomato beef brisket rice and heated it on the heating tool.
Mu Jie moved a small stool and was adding firewood to the iron pot. She looked at her husband holding a bag of military rations and smiling like a child.
"Here, honey! There's your favorite chocolate in here!"
Lei Mu put a piece of chocolate in Mu Jie's palm as if offering a treasure.
Mu Jie really hasn't eaten chocolate for a long, long time.
It seems that I haven’t eaten it much since I was 40. It’s not that I don’t like it, but it’s to control blood sugar.
When women reach a certain age, they will pay special attention to maintenance, and they will put in a lot of effort to look younger than their peers.
Now looking at the piece of chocolate in her hand, Mu Jie took a bite without hesitation. It was sweet with a hint of bitterness. This taste was just what she liked.
At this moment, the couple, who are nearly fifty years old, found the reminiscence of their youth in their favorite food.
At that time, they were simple and pure, and their smiles were so clean and confident.
After leaving Danshan Garden, Su Keke went straight to Uncle Lin and Aunt Chen's house.
After putting down the supplies at the doors of both their homes and knocking hard, Su Keke found a secluded place to hide.
Uncle Lin and Aunt Chen have both lost a lot of weight. Maybe it’s because of the extreme cold, but Su Keke saw them shivering as they walked.
They could barely get enough food and clothing relying on the government relief food. Both families had a child who was a few years younger than Su Keke, so they probably prioritized feeding the child first.
Su Keke blamed herself for being too careless, as she was busy shopping abroad for free those days. If she had sent them some food and daily necessities earlier, Uncle Lin and Aunt Chen wouldn't have had such a hard life.
After they opened the door and saw so many supplies, they all cried with joy. Aunt Chen even knelt down and bowed towards the east, chanting, "Buddha bless you! Buddha bless you!"
Seeing this scene, Su Keke felt a pang in her heart. She should not be so careless in the future and should send them some food and daily necessities when she has time.
