Chapter 056: No Matter How Much Money You Need to Save My Child
Wang Xuemei asked again, "Is anyone selling it for a high price? Sell me a few bottles."
Most people said they were helpless, or some people who didn't buy the product yet asked to buy it, because many people died from the sudden viral flu in the past two days. This disease comes on suddenly and it will be too late if it is not controlled or treated overnight. As long as it can be controlled in the early stage, it will get better slowly in the later stage.
The problem is that the hospitals are overcrowded, and I heard that medicine is running low! Who would dare to gamble with their lives?
The Chinese nation is actually very fragile in some aspects. They will be alert at the slightest sign of trouble and buy a lot. So when the news is broadcast, they will go to pharmacies and supermarkets to buy things. Although there is a limit now, each person still has enough money to buy more than ten bottles of toilet water.
This led to a group of people hoarding a lot of goods first, and when another group wanted to buy, they were already sold out. Now the raw materials are in short supply and the merchants have stopped production long ago, so they can only buy from scalpers at high prices.
In her previous life, Jingshu's family was better informed because of Jing's mother, but they could only grab a few bottles from the pharmacy. Later, not only black fungus beetles, but also various kinds of carrion beetles appeared. If there was enough floral water, these could be avoided, so Jingshu bought several boxes of Fengyoujing in this life. Fengyoujing has the strongest and longest-lasting smell. These insects will retreat where there is Fengyoujing.
Wang Qiqi #13: "Let's put it this way: it'll take a few days for the government to issue vaccines or disinfestations. I bought over a dozen bottles and I don't think I'll be able to use them all. If you have any extra, I'll sell them at three times the market price. We don't want to have neighbors who take advantage of others in our group. I'll sell you two bottles of toilet water for 30 yuan each."
Wang Qiqi, the group leader, took the lead, and soon people came in groups of three or four to share some floral water.
Jingshu thought for a moment and said, "I'll sell two bottles of Fengyoujing for 10 yuan each."
....
"Thank you all for your generosity, neighbors. I will record the names of the neighbors who provided the toilet water on the bulletin board." Wang Qiqi was responsible for resolving this matter. Not only did he receive gratitude from the neighbors, but he also satisfied the vanity of a group of neighbors who wanted to do good deeds. This method was like learning the essence of the news broadcast.
Jingshu couldn't tell what kind of person Wang Qiqi was, so she could only observe him for a while.
Although most communities had toilet water, some people who were not careful were still invaded by black fungus beetles, and the whole family was infected with a viral cold that night.
On the other hand, Jing's mother was watering her favorite apricot tree in the villa. From time to time, she would pick an apricot, crunch the shell and eat the almond inside. After a while, she would go to the greenhouse to get some strawberries to eat, pick some grapes and apples and put them in the living room to ensure that there was always fruit at home, manage the fruits in the pots, milk the cows with a milking machine, feed the pigs and chickens, water the vegetable garden, and feed the fish in the pond.
Having nothing to do, she went to the cloakroom to sort out her clothes again. She found that the spendthrift girl had really bought all kinds of clothes. These days, she wore a one-piece suit when going out, zipped up to the top of her head, and had two glass mirrors to provide vision. This absolutely prevented all contact with insects, and most importantly, it was breathable.
"This dress is so expensive, what a prodigal son." But Jing's mother was very happy. She could see clearly what kind of life the people around her were living, but she was living an even better life than before. Jing's mother decided to cherish it and would not allow anyone to break her happiness, and she would never let others know about her family's situation.
By comparing herself to others during this period, Jing's mother finally realized that she was living a life that was a little too good, so good that she was afraid of being peeped at by others.
Since the working hours were changed, Jing's mother has been free, but Jing's father is as busy as a dog. Every day, he not only has to clear the clogs in the water pipes, sweep the tempered glass covers, spray insect repellent, but also deal with the cow and sheep manure and the house manure.
After the water supply was cut off, although they had a water tank at home, they did not dare to use it casually, and they could no longer flush the toilet. Jingshu bought a lot of disposable paper toilets and cat litter, and buried the cat litter every time after urinating or defecating.
At first, Jing's parents couldn't accept it either. But after using the litter box and covering it with cat litter, they only had to throw it out once a day. It was not only odorless but also convenient, so they completely accepted it.
My daughter likes to buy things for a whole house every time she buys things. I wonder if there is any way to cure it? She bought a small room for the toilet and cat litter, and I am afraid they will last me the rest of my life.
Some time ago, Wang Qiqi organized people to build a few squats
Pit-type public toilets are now in use, but people still use urinals at home. However, just like the smell when Jingshu went to her uncle's house, it was inevitable.
Rather than running for several minutes to go to the toilet in the dust, hot weather or cold weather, Jing's parents would rather go to the toilet at home, which is also more convenient.
After finishing all this, Jing's father still has to drive to the supermarket every day to buy some dried fruits and grains. Since the key to the basement is with Jingshu, Jingshu cooks every day. Jing's father and mother only know that Jingshu filled the kitchen refrigerator and bought a batch of grains to start a live broadcast to make delicious food, but they don't know how much she bought.
Jing's mother said that they should stock up some more food, mainly because the family eats too much and Jing's mother is worried. Jing's father goes to queue up every day to bring some back. He likes to eat melon seeds and batam, and he bought a lot of these two things.
Today, Jing's father came home early, fully armed with a one-piece suit, and brought back some bad news: "All supermarkets will be closed for three days starting today. From now on, the opening hours will be changed to 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM every day, only two hours. They say this is to avoid the hot weather and viral infections."
"This black fungus beetle is very contagious. Several young men in our unit were infected and fortunately were sent to the hospital in time. However, it seems that the hospital is refusing to admit them now. Firstly, they have no medicine, and secondly, there is really no room." Jing's mother threw Jing's father's changed clothes into the washing machine.
This time I went out, the buttocks were full of dirt and dust. I had to change it quickly, otherwise it would get rubbed on the sofa. I also had to wash the sheets on the bed. That day I went to Jingshu's uncle's house and sat there for the whole afternoon. When I came back, everyone's buttocks were covered in dirt!
"Today, when I was driving outside, there were all these bugs hitting the glass. There were a lot fewer pedestrians outside. Why don't you take a leave of absence from work? Don't other companies have three-day holidays?"
"That won't do. The higher-ups say we have to hold on unless we die of illness. We have 60 days of hard work ahead of us."
…
When Jingshu was half asleep at night, her cell phone kept beeping. Her hearing had improved a lot, so she was finally woken up. She looked at the time and it was already 2 a.m. There were more than a dozen unread messages in the group, and Jingshu flipped through them.
"Everyone, help! My family of three has a viral cold. Anyone with a car and gas, please take us to the hospital? The 120 ambulance is completely busy, and our one-year-old is unconscious!"
"Please, if you really don't have a car, can someone please take my son to see a doctor? I don't care how much it costs, just save my child!"
