Chapter 156 Chapter 156 Flood
"I understand. I've been there."
Zhang Liqin chuckled.
He had already confirmed the fact of his imagination and did not take He Junxia's words to heart at all.
Seeing his expression, He Junxia said nothing more. Even if he explained seriously, Zhang Liqin would just think he was shy and embarrassed.
Besides, they are not related at all, so there is no need to explain. Why waste time talking about it?
The kayak carried the hopes of four families to the fifth building of the old cement factory’s residential complex safely.
The mothers and wives who finally waited for their children/husbands to return finally breathed a sigh of relief. If they had a choice, they would rather go out with them than stay at home and worry in vain.
Fortunately, they returned safely.
He Junxia skillfully fastened the rope to the guardrail of the security window, but before the kayak came to a complete stop, Wang Weicai impatiently climbed up with his belongings.
The results are also very obvious.
He just stood up and lifted the package, but before he could put the things in, he was thrown back on his butt by the shaking kayak.
The already unstable kayak began to sway even more, and he himself fell all over the place, secretly cursing that this boat was unlucky for him.
He Junxia shouted upstairs: "Brother, come down and help."
"Here I come."
In fact, he didn't need to shout. The moment Miao Yueze learned that his brother had returned, he opened the door and rushed downstairs.
At the same time, some people who had been paying attention to this matter came out to watch the fun. They also wanted to know if they could find food outside.
"Brother, go on."
He Junxia threw the snakeskin bag from the boat towards the corridor entrance. Miao Yueze staggered a few steps and caught the snakeskin bag steadily. The heavy weight in his hand made him smile.
With the help of their families, Zhang Liqin and Li Zhengping also delivered the collected food and water to the corridor. The four of them had a generous income that was the envy of others.
He Junxia picked up the snakeskin bag floating in the water, untied the rope connecting it to the edge of the kayak, and held it high in his arms.
"Wow, there's still one bag. You found so many things." A sturdy middle-aged woman sighed subconsciously. Seeing that Miao Yueze seemed unable to pull the bag, she stepped forward to lend a hand.
"Let's work together."
The two of them worked together to pull up the water-soaked bag. The old lady shook her reddened hands and said, "This bag is really heavy. What's in it?"
"Packed drinks."
He Junxia grabbed the fence and climbed into the corridor. She reached out and untied the snakeskin bag, took out a bottle of iced black tea and a bottle of water, and handed them to the aunt: "Excuse me, Aunt Wu."
Although he was downstairs just now, he could still see that it was Aunt Wu who extended her hand, allowing Miao Yueze to successfully carry the bag up.
"Xiaoxing, you are so polite. We are all neighbors, it's not a big deal to help."
Aunt Wu smiled, but did not return the water and drinks. They were rare items nowadays.
He Junxia laughed: "The bottle has been soaked in water from outside, so it's very dirty. Pour the contents into the bowl before drinking."
Aunt Wu: "Okay, I understand."
He Junxia turned around and grabbed the rope to start pulling the kayak below. Zhang Liqin and Li Zhengping also came to help.
Only Wang Weicai took his things and left as soon as he got ashore without saying a word, with a sour face as if others owed him 2.58 million yuan.
Someone curious asked, "What happened to Weicai? He looked so grumpy. Did you have a conflict?"
He Junxia and the other two ignored him.
But this person seemed to not understand the atmosphere and said with an air of superiority: "You three are older than him, he is still a child, if you have anything to do, just let him go."
"We are all people living in the same building, and we should help each other in special circumstances."
He Junxia said with a forced smile: "If you are so kind, you can go up and ask yourself. Don't act so arrogant in front of me."
He Junxia carried the kayak in one hand and the snakeskin bag in the other and walked upstairs without giving the man any face at all.
The person who spoke gave a few dry laughs to the onlookers: "You said this kid has a bad temper. He gets angry after just a few words."
Miao Yueze's face darkened: "It's not your turn to talk about our family yet, talk about your son instead."
He rolled his eyes and quickly followed his younger brother with another snakeskin bag in his hand. The man who was scolded stood there, his face turning pale and blue.
The onlookers wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Especially those who have lived in this building for more than ten years, they know much more gossip than the tenants.
For example, the man in front of him who was ridiculed by Miao Yueze, more than ten years ago, in order to have a son, he brought his pregnant mistress into the house and drove away his wife and daughter.
As a result, the mistress ran away with the money after living there for only a few months. The ultrasound report of pregnancy was fake, and there was no sign of the son.
However, his wife who was driven away worked hard to set up a stall and made a lot of money. After graduating from college, his daughter found a good job and lived a happy life.
It's retribution.
Aunt Wu shook her head. After watching such a good show, she went home satisfied with the two bottles of water she had won for free.
The other onlookers also dispersed, but they had different thoughts in their minds.
The middle-aged man who was left behind could no longer contain his anger and kicked hard into the corner.
"Bang!"
The solid wall did not move at all, but the man hugged his right leg and almost cried.
*
He Junxia came in carrying large and small bags of things, and the wet snakeskin bags left a winding water stain on the ground.
"so much?"
Su Guizhi quickly stepped forward to help her youngest son put the kayak upright against the wall. She turned and looked at the snakeskin bag on the ground: "What is this?"
He Junxia opened the snakeskin bag and took out the mineral water and drinks inside. There were a total of 15 bottles of mineral water, 8 bottles of cola, 4 bottles of iced black tea, 5 bottles of green tea, 6 bottles of Sprite, 3 bottles of orange juice and 10 bottles of Nutri-Express.
Su Guizhi was stunned: "Where did you get so much water and drinks?"
He Junxia took off her wet life jacket and shirt: "We went to the central square. There is a self-service hot pot restaurant on the eighth floor."
He pointed to the backpack on the other side and said, "Sister-in-law, drink the water in my bag. It's been soaked in flood water and is not clean."
Su Guizhi walked forward and opened the black backpack. Inside the bag were 13 neatly arranged bottles of mineral water.
Wei Lingyu was flattered: "No need, I'll eat whatever you guys eat, I'm not that delicate."
"It's not that they're delicate. These bottles have been soaked in floodwaters, so they're very dirty and full of bacteria." He Junxia pointed to the balcony. "The water looks dirty, with all kinds of garbage floating in it. We'd better pour it into a cup or boil it before drinking."
Su Guizhi originally thought her youngest son was making a big deal out of nothing, but when she heard about the high number of bacteria, she immediately said, "Lingyu, listen to Xiaoxing. Safety is the most important thing."
Wei Lingyu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She nodded: "Okay, Xiaoxing is the most educated person in our family, I will follow his arrangements."
Suddenly there was a clanging sound at the door. Wei Lingyu turned around and saw Miao Yueze walking in dragging another snakeskin bag.
She was surprised: "There's another one?"
Miao Yueze straightened up and put his hands on his hips proudly: "Of course not, don't you see whose brother he is."
Wei Lingyu: ...
Su Guizhi was speechless: "Don't flatter yourself. Your brother brought so many things up here, and you didn't even help him."
Miao Yueze: TVT
Can he say that he was able to carry the drink bag thanks to someone else's help?
Miao Yueze didn't dare to say anything. He wiped the sweat off his face and awkwardly changed the subject: "It's too hot and stuffy. I'm sweating after just a few steps. By the way, what's in this bag?"
“I feel like there are a lot of jars.”
Su Guizhi swiftly untied the rope that bound the bag, exclaimed, and laughed, "Why did you take the baby's clothes?"
She pulled out a stack of plastic-wrapped baby clothes in pink, blue, yellow, and white.
"Lingyu, look."
Wei Lingyu walked over in surprise and picked up a pink baby dress: "It's really beautiful."
Su Guizhi smiled: "There are still some in the bag, wait, I will take them all out."
However, when she took out everything in the bag, the mountain of maternal and infant food shocked Wei Lingyu and her husband.
Miao Yueze rubbed his face: "Oh my goodness, little brother, did you move the entire maternity and baby store here?"
Wei Lingyu opened her mouth slightly, looking dumbfounded. "A baby probably can't eat that much."
There were fifteen cans of milk powder! Not to mention all kinds of baby food and supplements for pregnant women.
He Junxia looked at the two couples who had no idea how to raise a child, and smiled bitterly, "A baby needs at least two cans of milk powder a month, and their appetite will increase as they get older. It's not impossible for them to finish five or six cans a month."
Don't ask him why he knows so much. The reason is that he once saw with his own eyes the horrific amount of food that babies eat when he was rotating in obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics.
Wei Lingyu and Miao Yueze looked at each other in bewilderment. She pointed at the mountain of milk powder cans and said, "Is it impossible? How can a child drink so much?"
Su Guizhi, a great mother who successfully raised two children, felt deeply: "Of course, it's a good thing that your father and I are both cement factory workers, otherwise it would be a problem whether we could support you two."
Miao Yueze swallowed hard and said, "But it will take at least half a year for Lingyu to give birth. By then, the flood waters will have receded."
Su Guizhi put her hands on her hips and said, "Who cares if the floods recede or not? It's better to be prepared than to cram at the last minute. You're still scorning your brother's kindness."
Miao Yueze: Black face question mark.jpg
No, how did I dislike it? Did I show that I disliked it?!
Miao Yueze quickly shook his head like a rattle: "Mom, what are you thinking? I can't even thank you enough, how could I possibly dislike you."
Su Guizhi snorted: "Then ask less questions and listen more to your brother. He is more thorough than you."
"knew."
"You know nothing, you just give me a perfunctory answer. Go away, go cook some noodles, don't stay here and get in the way."
Su Guizhi pushed her eldest son to the kitchen. Wei Lingyu brought two towels, handed the clean one to He Junxia, and used the dirty one to wipe the water stains on the floor.
"I'll thank his uncle on behalf of the child."
