Chapter 38 Home Investigation



The grain has been planted and is growing well, so she can't bear to pull it out, so she can only pull out the grass.

Anyway, the grass on the pasture is growing vigorously now, enough for the young cattle and sheep to eat.

She doesn't have to pull out all the grass on the mountain, she can just pull it out while planting vegetables.

Plant some fast-growing vegetables first, so that you won’t have nothing to eat later. As for the rest, just take it one step at a time.

Ji He made up his mind and his hands moved faster and faster.

First, fry all the unfinished vegetables, and don't stop until all the vegetables in the space are almost used up.

Next is to chop the stuffing and prepare the bun filling.

By 8 o'clock in the evening, she had made more than 800 buns, filling several large basins, all of which she stored in the space.

She is making dumplings now.

Ji He’s dumplings have two fillings: leeks and eggs, and celery and pork.

As usual, after wrapping and cooking, they are put into the space for storage. Anyway, there is no need to worry about them going bad in the storage space. Ji He plans to wrap at least 2,000 pieces.

Assuming she eats 20 in one meal, she will eat 100 in one meal first.

After dark, there was a constant stream of noisy noises coming from outside the door, but Ji He was too busy with his work to go out to see.

She worked until 11 o'clock at night, and just as she took the last pot of dumplings out of the pot, she heard a knock on the door outside the yard.

She quickly turned off the gas.

He hurriedly fished out the last pot of dumplings and put them into the space. He also poured the last of the dumpling soup into a large bucket. Then he turned and walked to the yard to open the door.

I didn't forget to change my dirty clothes before going out.

The people outside the yard heard the voice coming from the house and shouted with a loud speaker: "We are from the neighborhood committee, we are here to do a population survey."

It sounded like a female voice.

Ji He did not open the door immediately, but first took out a wooden stick from the yard and held it in his hand, then slowly opened the door a little. When he saw a middle-aged woman standing outside the door, he felt a little relieved.

There were many neighbors behind the woman, surrounding another person and asking him questions.

The woman was wearing a sports suit, her forehead was covered in sweat, and she had a water bottle hanging around her neck, and she was constantly wiping the sweat off her face with her hands.

Seeing Ji He coming out, he put the flashlight under his armpit, picked up a pen and started asking questions.

"What's your name, how old are you, how many people are in your family?"

"Ji He, 18, I'm the only one at home, my parents passed away."

The woman looked up at her in surprise when she heard that, then her expression eased a little and she lowered her head to continue asking.

"Are there any other relatives in the family?"

Ji He paused for a moment before continuing, "There is my uncle's family."

The woman was writing quickly in the notebook.

"Where were you yesterday?"

Ji He's mind was racing, wondering whether he should tell the truth or not. But he ran into Ji Yin yesterday, and if he didn't tell the truth, he would be discovered later...

"In Yunhai Shopping Mall."

The woman raised her head and looked directly at her. "There was a riot at Yunhai Square yesterday. How did you get back?"

"I rode my bike back. There were shared bikes at the entrance of the mall. I scanned the QR code and rode back."

Ji He said honestly that there were records on the software and there was no need to lie.

The woman lowered her head and said nothing more.

"Has anything strange happened around you recently?"

"The crops are infested with bugs and the temperature is rising."

As usual, the woman asked a few more questions, and finally reminded Ji He to be careful as he was alone at home.

Don't open the door to strangers, try not to go out, and don't go out unless necessary. If you have any difficulties, you can contact the government. He then took out the QR code and asked her to add a neighborhood group before turning to the next house.

Ji He looked at the people gathered in the distance, thought about it, and then locked the door and walked over.

Before I even got close, I heard a lot of people shouting, "There's no electricity in my house. Everything in the refrigerator is about to break down. What should I do? When will the electricity come back?"

"I can't even charge my phone! Just let us stay home, how can we stay home without power!"

"My old lady is too old to bear it and has suffered from heat stroke. What do you think we should do?"

"My grain is infested with bugs. What should I do if I can't buy grain?"

"Can you provide a channel to buy some vegetables? The elderly at home are old and can't digest too much meat!"

The crowd was noisy and everyone had a lot of questions.

The middle-aged woman who had just finished investigating Ji He's information came back, picked up the loud speaker, and started shouting:

"Everyone, calm down and listen to me.

I am the director of the neighborhood committee. My surname is Xu. You can call me Director Xu or Old Xu.

Regarding the power outage, the temperature is too high and the staff dare not work during the day. They have to work at night, which makes the efficiency lower. I hope everyone understands!

Our neighborhood committee has contacted a group of power banks, and everyone can come to us to rent power banks and take them home to charge their phones!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted out in dissatisfaction.

"What's the point of just charging the phone? The temperature is too hot, and the elderly can't stand it without air conditioning!"

The woman was helpless. What could she do without electricity? She still had to appease the crowd:

"Taking into account everyone's needs, the country has provided a number of shelters. You can go to an underground parking lot or garage near your home, where the temperature is much lower than outside.

I will announce it in our owners group later. It is not far from here. You can go there together before dawn. Remember to bring water and food with you.

At the same time, you can also take shelter in a car. A private car can accommodate 5 or 6 people. You can carpool. We must help each other in the face of disasters."

"Regarding the issue of the refrigerator running out of power and not being able to store food, everyone can exchange privately. If you see who needs it, you can exchange the uneaten food in the refrigerator with them to avoid waste as much as possible."

"As for buying medicine, the government has just issued a notice that each person can only buy medicine worth 500 yuan or less with their ID card. I can't do anything about this. It's best to drive to buy medicine now while it's dark and the temperature is not so high. Pharmacies are open 24 hours a day, so go early and you can still buy it."

"As for the problem of having no food at home, there is a Meihua supermarket 7 kilometers away from us. It has now been taken over by the government and is safe. Everyone can go there to buy food with their ID card. The purchase limit per person is 500 yuan."

"Wasn't it 1,000 yesterday? Why is it only 500 today?" someone in the crowd immediately shouted.

Director Xu glanced at the speaker and continued to shout with the loud speaker: "Considering the severity of the disaster, this can avoid waste to the greatest extent.

OK, I'm going to continue with the population survey. If you have any questions, please ask Xiao Liu. "

After Director Xu finished speaking in a hoarse voice, he turned off the loudspeaker and handed it to the young man next to him. He then turned around, picked up the small notebook and continued to knock on the door nearby to conduct his investigation.
