After eating and drinking enough, my cold hands and feet gradually warmed up.
Looking at the empty plates on the table, Liang Han felt ashamed: "I'm sorry, Xiaoyue, I ate so much food from your house..."
Even if she has stockpiled goods at home, she can't withstand such treatment.
Song Yue smiled and shook her head: "It doesn't matter, I already have some at home, and I've earned quite a bit from volunteer work, so I'm not short of any for now."
"Volunteer..." Liang Han couldn't help but feel sad as he thought about the past two weeks of working. "I participated, too, but unfortunately, I don't have any skills or the strength, so I can only do the white card jobs that contribute the least... By the way, Xiaoyue, what kind of position did you get?"
Song Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and she lied again: "Blue card."
"Blue, blue card?!" Liang Han couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that it was no wonder that her family had no shortage of food.
The contribution value of a blue card is twice that of a white card. At the end of the day, if she can only exchange for 1 piece of bread, Song Yue can exchange for 2 pieces.
In addition to the other party's statement that the family had stockpiled food, as well as the 5-day food packages dropped by helicopter, Liang Han made a rough calculation and it seemed that the conditions of Song Yue's family could indeed be met.
She sighed secretly, this is the gap between people, why can't she do it?
Although she felt sad, she stood up decisively and wanted to help clean up the dishes.
Song Yue stopped her: "No, just rest."
This made Liang Han even more embarrassed.
But when he thought of the frostbite on his hands, he didn't refuse and sat down obediently.
Looking at his friend's back in the kitchen, Liang Han somehow felt that the Song Yue he met after returning to China was different from before.
Her eyes are sharper and her skills are surprisingly good. Her expression is always calm when she looks at people and things, as if nothing can cause ripples on her face.
If Liang Han had to use one word to describe it, he would probably say "alienation."
Maybe it's because I stayed abroad for too long, which caused some estrangement between friends.
Just like the fact that Song Yue lived in Nanshan Community, she actually forgot about it... Liang Han thought with guilt and guilt.
Elsewhere, Song Yue put the dishes into the kitchen, then took out a box of instant noodles and a box of bottled mineral water. She then went to the bedroom (space) and retrieved an oversized lithium battery. She placed all of them in front of Liang Han and said, "I'll see you off when you leave. Take these back with you."
It can be seen that Liang Han is not having a good time, otherwise she wouldn't run out alone in such a cold weather to look for something. As a friend, she can't be so indifferent as to stand by and watch.
What's more, when I was in junior high school, my family was not well off and I was reluctant to pay for the spring outing. It was Liang Han who took the initiative to pay the money for me.
She always remembered this kindness.
Now, it's her turn to pay it back.
Looking at the two large boxes of supplies and the lithium battery that looked like it would last a long time, Liang Han was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.
Just now she was silently calculating Song Yue's supplies, but this move surprised her again.
No, it should be said that since entering this house, every item Song Yue took out has exceeded her cognition.
What did she do before the natural disaster to make her family as rich as a big landlord?
Seeing the surprise on Liang Han's face, Song Yue still didn't intend to explain.
She simply changed the subject and asked, "When did you return to China? Why didn't you tell me?"
After the natural disaster in her previous life, Liang Han never appeared in her trajectory from beginning to end, so why in this life... ?
Guessing she would ask, Liang Han lowered his head awkwardly, avoiding her gaze: "...I came back a long time ago, because I was busy at home and didn't have time to send you a message..."
"Oh, I see." Song Yue seemed to be thinking about something and did not ask any further questions.
The two then chatted about some past times when they were in school. Seeing that it was getting late outside, Song Yue got up and decided to drive Liang Han back in the SUV.
The SUV was in her space. In order to hide it from others, she pretended that the car was parked in the next community and asked Liang Han to wait there.
Because it was freezing cold outside, the car would definitely not start if she took it outside and started it again, so she deliberately started the car in the space first and then let it out.
From a distance, Liang Han really saw Song Yue driving over.
An off-road vehicle that was a whole circle larger than an ordinary car stopped in front of him. Liang Han looked at it again and again, but couldn't tell what brand it was.
She moved her lips and subconsciously wanted to ask, but then she remembered that Song Yue didn't want to talk about her family, so she swallowed her words and said nothing.
It is not easy to drive on the frozen streets. Vehicles stop and go along the way, and move forward by inertia the whole time. Although it is very inconvenient, I have to say that it is much safer than walking alone outside.
At least the cold wind won’t reach my face and my legs won’t become numb from the cold.
When passing an intersection, Song Yue was about to turn the steering wheel to the left when she heard Liang Han say, "Go to the right."
I was stunned.
She remembered that Liang Han's house was in the villa area, so why did he go to the right?
But she didn't ask, just said okay and drove to the right as she was told.
After that, they slowly glided along, and when they were about to reach a commercial area, Liang Han said again, "Let's park here."
Song Yue: "Okay."
I got out of the car to help her move things, and put the unused wooden boxes at home on the ground so that she could drag them on the ice to save effort.
"You really don't need me to take you there?" Song Yue asked again.
After all, there was no residential area near where she parked the car, and she was worried that Liang Han would be in danger again.
Unexpectedly, Liang Han shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a few steps away, we'll be there soon, you can go back first, don't worry."
Not knowing what to say, Song Yue returned to the car and rubbed his red, frozen hands.
It's too cold today.
She hasn't left the house once since the temperature dropped.
This time she stayed out for more than an hour and was freezing cold.
Seeing Liang Han slowly walking away, Song Yue withdrew his gaze, slowly turned the car around, and then pretended to slide forward for a distance.
She got out of the car and put it back into the space until she completely disappeared from Liang Han's sight.
The car is good, but it is really inconvenient to drive.
She was alone now, so there was no need to go against the ice. So she took out a pair of skates from the space, put them on quickly, and then slid towards home with a swish.
On this day, Liang Han's appearance was the only unexpected episode. Apart from that, nothing happened in the community.
However, although nothing happened outside, some different thoughts arose inside.
"Brother, did you see that?" Qiao Shanshan pulled the curtains shut, her eyes complicated. "One man took on two strong men, armed with a slingshot and ice skates. He's clearly quite capable, yet he told us it was too dangerous outside and he wouldn't join us."
Qiao Yiyuan hummed, "There are two possibilities. One, they have plenty of supplies and aren't worried at all. Two, that woman isn't following the crowd and has been secretly working to stockpile supplies for their family."
"If it's the second one, then this woman really doesn't take us seriously. We are all acting together, so why should she be treated specially?" Qiao Shanshan frowned and showed an expression of disgust.
She used to be a favorite of the expedition team. Wherever she went, crowds flocked to her. No one dared to disobey her whenever she spoke. But now, someone in the same building suddenly appeared and disagreed with her.
Qiao Shanshan couldn't stand it. Not only that, she wanted to make that woman look bad.
Qiao Yiyuan didn't care what his sister thought. What he cared about was that no matter which one it was, it meant that the woman's family was well-off and he didn't have to worry about it every day.
As for him, he had to take everyone in the building out every day, be wary of other robbers along the way, and occasionally take care of neighbors who were not feeling well after being out. To be honest, after all these days, he was tired.
He is not a babysitter, so why should he be in charge of everyone?
But he didn't care, because his sister was very capable and would always ask him to see who was not feeling well or to ask who didn't bring enough things.
Even if he wanted to refuse at that time, he couldn't say it out loud because of his neighbor's face and the halo of being a good person.
Over time, this matter gradually became a dead end, and nothing went right either way.
However, suddenly, his eyes flashed. If he could let that woman stand out and become the focus of everyone, wouldn't he be able to abdicate peacefully without affecting his reputation?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Qiao Yiyuan took action immediately.
On August 9, there was another knock on Song Yue's door.
"Hello, may I have a chat with you?"
It's still a familiar voice.
Song Yue stopped Song Tianyuan and motioned for her to come over. Through the door, she said coldly, "What are you talking about?"
The person outside paused and said, "Could you please open the door? I feel like this is not a good way to talk."
Song Yue: "No, just say what you want to say."
Qiao Shanshan clenched her fists, her eyes blazing with anger: "Brother, I told you, this woman is not a good person!"
Qiao Yiyuan shushed her, then continued toward the door, "Don't mind me. We're neighbors, upstairs and downstairs. We don't harbor any ill will. I just wanted to discuss this with you again, hoping you could join the search team. Actually, you see, our team..."
Before he could finish his words, Song Yue interrupted him coldly: "Sorry, I'm not interested."
Qiao Shanshan was anxious and raised her voice: "Are you not interested, or do you simply look down on us? Yes, you have a slingshot, ice skates, martial arts skills, and can save people. You are so powerful that you can handle the family's supplies by yourself. Why would you bother to stay with us!"
She had a loud voice, and it was a cold day with no one outside, so any slight noise in the building could be heard clearly throughout the entire building and even in the neighboring buildings.
Many families have an extra ear, quietly listening behind the door.
"You could obviously help everyone out and help overcome this difficult time, so why would you rather save an outsider than join us?"
"Look, my brother and I used to be on an expedition team. Even though we don't have many special abilities, and they're not worth showing off, we think every effort to help a neighbor is a good thing. Isn't that a good thing? Do you have to watch people starve to death or freeze to death upstairs and downstairs before you feel at ease?"
"I'm not trying to force you to join the team. I sincerely hope you can join the team. I don't know if you recognize Grandpa Zhang on the 32nd floor. He suffers from arthritis and rheumatism, and he's been freezing these days and can't even get out of bed. If we hadn't brought him medicine and food, he'd probably be dead by now..."
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!"
"Well, if you still don't want to lend me a hand, then I can at least borrow your slingshot and ice skates temporarily, right?"
"There are still many residents in the building who want to go out with us. They don't have any tools, so I hope you can lend them to them for a while."
Qiao Shanshan kept talking, saying all the good and bad things, and she also wanted to take advantage of Song Yue!
This made Song Tianyuan and Lin Xiaojuan in the room both angry and nervous.
She was angry because Xiaoyue was taking good care of her own three acres of land, but how could she be wrong in the other party's words? She was panicked because the heating was on, the refrigerator was in use, and the hot water was available... If they opened the door and were discovered by someone outside, they would definitely become the target of public criticism!
Not knowing what to do, the two looked at Song Yue for help.
But Song Yue gestured to them, indicating that they should go back into the house and turn off the heater in the living room.
The two took action immediately.
Song Yue turned back and said calmly to the outside of the door: "I'll just give the things to you. Wait a minute, I'll go get them from inside the house."
As he spoke, he touched the objects in the house: the sofa, the dining table, the refrigerator, the wardrobe, the radiator, the air conditioner, and even the windows...
Anything that makes your home look wealthy, put space in it!
With a few whooshes, the living room of the house was instantly cleared out, to the astonishment of Song Tianyuan and Lin Xiaojuan.
It's even a bit empty, like a refugee camp...
After doing this, Song Yue took the slingshot and ice skates and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, an indescribable chill rushed straight to the door!
Qiao Yiyuan and Qiao Shanshan were so blown that they almost couldn't open their eyes.
Qiao Shanshan was stunned for a moment, then looked behind Song Yue like a thief.
She thought that the other party must have stored a lot of good things at home, but she was surprised to see that the house was completely bare!
Qiao Shanshan's body swayed and she didn't react for a long time.
Qiao Yiyuan's situation was not much better. Although he was looking at Song Yue, who was half a head shorter than him, his eyes were darting wildly around the living room behind her.
Food, definitely food!
Water, there is definitely no shortage of water!
Once this idea is planted in my mind, I can't get rid of it.
Until he clearly saw the only two chairs that could be called furniture within his field of vision, and a dusty blanket on the ground...
Is this...home?
He was a little confused and a little disheveled.
What is going on?
How could there be such a poor guy in Nanshan Community?
"Hello, you two, do you still need slingshots and ice skates?" Song Yue smiled, pretending not to notice the extremely shocked expressions on their faces.
Qiao Shanshan, the instigator, slowly recovered from the rupture. She numbly withdrew her gaze, staring at the person in front of her, and said slowly, "Why... is your family... like this?"
Song Yue sighed. "Before, our elderly family member was sick and we were short of money, so we sold all the furniture we could on second-hand websites. But it's okay. We still have two chairs at home. If you have guests, they'll be perfect for sitting down. Do you want to come in?"
As he said this, he deliberately turned sideways.
It would be fine if it wasn't tilted to the side, but if it was tilted to the side, the cold wind would blow right into my face!
Qiao Shanshan squinted her eyes in the cold wind and noticed that one of the windows on her balcony was empty!
No wonder it's drafty! I'm freezing to death.
So he shrank his neck and backed away: "No, no, I won't bother you anymore..."
As he said that, he hurriedly pulled Qiao Yiyuan downstairs.
Qiao Yiyuan also saw the broken window, and had only one thought in his mind - how tragic.
Then the next question is, the other person is already in such a miserable situation, was it really appropriate for them to say those aggressive words just now?
For a moment, my face was flushed and I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a hole to crawl into!
"Well, I'm really sorry... We didn't understand the situation. You can keep the things. We don't want them anymore!"
After saying that, he disappeared at the door as if escaping.
Behind them, the girl showed a smug smile.
After closing the first and second doors, Song Yue put out the electrical appliances and furniture one by one.
In the living room, Song Tianyuan and Lin Xiaojuan exclaimed in shock!
"Oh my God, I didn't expect that space could be used like this?" Lin Xiaojuan covered her mouth with her hands, her face alternating between surprise and joy.
The author has something to say:
Song Yue: Hello, welcome to the slums~
