Moreover, although Xiao Rui of the Xiao family is much more sensitive to potential dangers than the average person, he has only stockpiled some essential living supplies more than the average person.
There is still a significant lack of safety and explosion protection in the home.
"How can we ensure our safety and self-defense? We have nothing right now."
Li Qingya is a girl, and naturally she's a bit slow on this topic.
However, having visited Xu Lai's home multiple times, she naturally noticed the two modified doors at the entrance of the Xu family's house.
She now wants to install two secure security doors at the entrance of her home, but unfortunately they don't have any!
"When we renovated our house a few months ago, we still had a few security and explosion-proof doors that we hadn't had time to return!"
Xu Lai shared her thoughts with everyone.
The original door of the Xiao family's house remained unchanged, but two more explosion-proof doors were added to the entrance hall inside.
They also installed another fire door on the side where they enter the fire door on the seventeenth floor.
A fire door was also installed in the corridor connecting their two households to another unit.
"It's fine if we install security doors in our own home, but won't installing them in the fire escape and at the entrance to the corridor attract the attention of those people?"
Xu Chao asked his older sister with some concern.
In his mind, he always considered himself to be just a student.
Even though I had seen how difficult it was to survive this natural disaster when I went out with my sister before.
But none of them were as impactful as seeing someone covered in blood and dead right in front of me on the thirteenth floor today.
So now, upon hearing his sister's advice, he also raised his concerns.
For a high school student to be able to think about these things proves that his younger brother has really grown up a lot these days.
Xu Lai looked at her younger brother and nodded with satisfaction.
"Xiao Chao's consideration is good. However, we will not close the explosion-proof doors in these two places for the time being after they are installed. This will not affect them, and there should be no major problem!"
They're on the seventeenth floor, so there shouldn't be any major problems. Who would climb the stairs up here for no reason?
Seeing that he had something to do, Grandpa Xiao's spirits improved significantly.
Seeing that the safety of their home was further guaranteed, Xiao Rui and Li Qingya's worries about the safety of their family members in the future were greatly reduced.
Xu Lai was a woman of action; while everyone was chatting, she went into her room.
When her father was in charge of installing explosion-proof doors and windows for the house, Xu Lai had already considered the safety of the two doors at the outside corridor and the fire escape.
So we bought the explosion-proof doors for both places at the same time.
In addition, several extra explosion-proof doors were purchased as spares based on the dimensions of the entryway.
Now it's just right to give the Xiao family two doors.
Xu Lai took the four doors out of the storage space and went to the living room to call for someone.
"Let's take advantage of the darkness and carry these two explosion-proof doors, which are the same size as those in the entryway, to Grandpa Xiao's house. Anyway, the entrances of our two houses are the same size, so Grandpa Xiao's house will definitely be able to use these doors!"
Upon hearing this, the three members of the Xiao family quickly followed Xu Jiangming and his nephew to Xu Lai's room and saw that there were indeed several security doors near the window.
There are three panels of roughly the same size, and the other two panels are slightly narrower, which are obviously installed near the fire escape stairs.
Seeing this, Xiao Rui, who was always quite sensitive, gave the Xu family members a deep look.
Was this a coincidence or something the Xu family had planned in advance?
If it was just a coincidence, that's fine. But if the Xu family had prepared this in advance, then that family is truly terrifying.
To take one step and then ten or even a hundred steps is something that not everyone can do.
Fortunately, the two families have a good relationship and are currently on the same team, united against external threats.
Xiao Shan and Xiao Rui felt fortunate, while Li Qingya, who hadn't expected so much, was happy.
With the installation of these two sturdy explosion-proof doors in my home, I feel much safer sleeping at night!
After lunch, the rain intensified. As if to support the downpour, lightning flashed and thunder roared like giant dragons tumbling and howling in the sky, creating a terrifying scene.
The residents of Jinxiu Haoting residential community all kept their doors and windows tightly closed.
They were terrified that they might be thrown off by the roaring dragon if they weren't careful.
"Second Uncle, Dad, it's so noisy outside, this is the perfect opportunity to install explosion-proof doors in the fire escape routes and connecting corridors!"
Xu Lai walked to the window and looked through the glass at the dark clouds rolling in the sky, as if the whole world had been plunged into darkness.
Xu Jiangming and Xu Haiguo were action-oriented, and they were quite taken aback when they heard Xu Lai say that.
The two grabbed their cordless drill, cordless welding torch, and other tools and headed out the door.
They first greeted the Xiao family next door, and the Xiao family eagerly joined in.
After all, the Xiao family had no experience in this industry; they were just helping out.
It mainly relied on Xu Jiangming and Xu Haiguo, who had worked hard on construction sites all their lives.
First, the wooden fireproof door of the fire escape was removed, and then two half-door explosion-proof doors were installed.
The two wooden doors were taken home by the Xiao family and used as firewood.
This kind of weather really does a good job of masking the sounds of tools like electric drills and welding machines.
The new security door was installed, but not a single neighbor from the nearest corridor came out to see what was going on.
Next, at the entrance of their connecting corridor, a specific door frame needs to be installed first, and then a special industrial steel plate explosion-proof door needs to be welded on using an electric welding machine.
After finishing the work outside, we continued installing the two explosion-proof doors for the Xiao family.
After installing the four doors, Xu Lai checked the time and found it was already 8 p.m.
Song Qiu'e, Li Qingya, and the others, who couldn't help, had already prepared dinner.
By this time, other people had already eaten breakfast and were probably lying in bed bored.
Song Qiu'e and her family didn't cook any dishes because they were afraid that their neighbors would smell the aroma of their food and they would attract attention.
For dinner, I made two large pots of chicken noodle soup.
Apart from a few kinds of pickled vegetables that went well with rice, which were brought by Song Qiu'e, all the other ingredients were provided by Li Qingya at her insistence.
In her words, if you're helping out at her house, you can't go to someone else's house for a meal!
The stewed chicken is so tender that it falls off the bone with chopsticks, the soup is fragrant and not greasy, and the noodles are smooth and chewy. One bite and you'll want to keep eating!
"This chicken noodle soup is so delicious!"
The two families, totaling eight people, each had two or even three bowls of noodles, and they ate every last drop of the soup from the two large pots of noodles.
After finishing their work and having a satisfying meal, everyone tidied up and lay down on their beds, falling asleep to the sound of thunder and lightning.
With the enhanced security, everyone slept exceptionally soundly.
The next morning, after the Xu family changed the diapers that were stuck in the cracks of the window, some started making breakfast and others started removing the dampness.
In this weather, the humidity in my home has reached 100%.
Clothes won't dry properly in the sun, and rice, flour, salt, and other grains will visibly become damp if they aren't sealed in plastic bags or jars.
The floors, walls, and furniture in my house are all wet.
The entire city of C experienced a power outage, rendering dehumidifiers unusable, so people had to find alternative solutions manually.
Tear unwanted books into individual pages and lay them flat on the floor and walls to absorb moisture.
