These two eye-catching bags are hilarious!
Since the extreme heat began and the network was restored to 4G, many people have started creating their own media content online.
They filmed various luxurious scenes in people's lives while ordinary people faced a survival crisis.
They eat and drink the finest food, wear designer clothes and gold jewelry, and even live in luxury mansions and villas.
Those genuinely wealthy people who have bodyguards protecting them 24/7 are definitely showing off their superiority.
But people like Xu Yongqing and Xu Qiong were used to attract so-called "wealthy clients".
The authorities acted quite quickly. Before 7 p.m., the community leader sent a message in the group chat that residents could line up downstairs to collect their work points, and each household only needed to send one person to line up.
After having dinner and a bowl of chilled mung bean porridge, Xu Lai and her brother Xu Chao went out wearing air-conditioned clothes.
Unexpectedly, just as Xu Lai was about to step out of the air-conditioned room, Wanzi rushed over and bit her trouser leg, wanting to go out and play together.
Looking at the chubby little dumpling, Xu Lai squatted down and reached out to pat its head: "Dumpling, it's not possible now, it's too hot outside!"
It was already 7 p.m., and the sun was still halfway up in the west. The temperature outside was still as high as 47°C, which was a bit too hot for Wanzi.
Moreover, there will definitely be a lot of people outside at this time. Once the meatballs are out, they will become a lump of high-quality protein and fat in the eyes of those people!
Maruko has been with the Xu family for a year now. Having been weaned off formula, it has been trained by Xu Lai to not poop or pee in the living area.
Xu Lai thought that it would take a long time to queue up to collect the work points card later, and fearing that Wanzi would need to pee, she put it directly into her space.
"You're not allowed to tease any other small animals in this space!"
Maruko, who is over a year old, has grown to over 40 pounds and is almost half a meter tall.
It might be due to a natural food chain relationship; even the largest goat in the space is particularly afraid of meatballs.
It's also mischievous, knowing that it can't eat goats, rabbits, or poultry and livestock like chickens, ducks, and geese in its territory.
But it would occasionally tease the poultry and livestock.
It's always chasing after goats or scaring geese away; it makes a ruckus in our space every day.
After giving Wanzi a serious instruction, Xu Lai put it into her spatial storage.
After the siblings went out, they met up with Li Qingya, who was wrapped up tightly next door, and the three of them went downstairs together.
"We thought we were already very proactive, but it turns out there are so many people who are even more proactive than us!"
Looking at the two long lines of people already formed on the open ground downstairs, Li Qingya smiled helplessly.
"That's right, it's all because of the work point card's superpower!" Xu Lai joked with a laugh.
The three of them quickly walked over to join the queue. At the front of the queue were two tables, with two staff members sitting next to them.
Next to the table were several large cardboard boxes. One of the boxes was open, and inside were neatly arranged work point cards.
These large boxes of work point cards immediately caught the attention of everyone in the team.
Many people even had greed in their eyes, but no one dared to step forward and snatch it.
There were two soldiers with submachine guns standing on either side of several boxes of work point cards.
Who dares to act like a scoundrel?
The process of queuing to collect loan points is quite simple. When it's a representative's turn to collect the loan points, they simply sign in the corresponding information column of the booklet that the staff puts on the table.
When it was Xu Lai's turn, she took a special look at this booklet. Her booklet was specifically for registering the information of residents in Unit 1 of Building 1 in Jinxiu Community.
For example, her family's registration number, according to the floor number, is 1702. The next row lists the names, genders, and ages of the five members of her family.
Next is the number of work points borrowed from the government, and the last line is how many work points were received this time, along with the signature of the recipient.
Xu Lai also glanced at the information for Granny Liu's apartment in room 1602 downstairs. Granny Liu's information was crossed out with a pen, and the last column was marked "deceased".
As for Liu Ziqian's information, it was circled in red, and the last column stated that he was an orphan and had been sent to the Jinxiu District Orphanage.
Xu Lai glanced at the information and found that out of the 42 people registered on this page, 15 had already been crossed out and 4 had been sent to orphanages.
Based on the data on this page, she deduced that in just one year and two months, the mortality rate had reached nearly 36%.
Standing behind Xu Lai, Li Qingya looked at this page and exchanged a glance with Xu Lai, unable to suppress their astonishment.
The city of C, a third-tier city, had a resident population of 4.18 million two years ago. Based on the mortality rate, the death toll over the past year or so is estimated to be around 1.5 million.
What does this mean?
Xu Lai, Li Qingya, and Xu Chao stared at the still numbers with trepidation.
No wonder I often hear those knowledgeable neighbors say that the funeral companies in their city C are burning incense day and night and still can't keep up with the demand.
Many corpses were transported by truck to the vicinity of Wangtai Mountain, where they were piled up and burned using dead branches and trees that had been scorched by the high temperature on the mountain.
The three of them watched as the names of many familiar neighbors were crossed out on that page, and with heavy hearts, they signed their names in the section for receiving loan points.
Some of those who had received their work points rushed to the community government supermarket as the sun was about to set and the temperature was dropping slightly.
Some carefully put their work points into their pockets and hurried home.
"Qingya, are you going to the government supermarket?"
Looking at the 150 work points in her hand, Li Qingya answered without hesitation, "Go, exchange the work points for food and breakfast snacks as soon as possible!"
Now that outdoor work has stopped, people are already panicking, especially now that they've received their work points from government loans. The first thing most people will do is stockpile food.
Sure enough, when the three of them arrived near the community government supermarket in their electric tricycle, they saw a lot of people queuing up in the distance.
"Sister, you and Qingya go queue up to buy food. I'll stay here and watch the electric tricycle!"
After getting off the electric tricycle, Xu Chao volunteered to stay and watch the vehicle.
It wasn't that he was afraid of hardship and only chose easy jobs; it was just that he felt a little awkward queuing up with Sister Qingya, a guy all alone.
"Okay, you stay here and guard our car!"
The sun has already set. There's a solar-powered streetlight next to where the tricycles are parked, and not far away, there are soldiers with guns maintaining order in the queue.
Xu Lai could then confidently queue up.
After listening to her brother's words, Xu Lai nodded and pulled Li Qingya toward the long queue.
As fate would have it, Xu Lai and Li Qingya ran into Xu Qiong, who was sitting on the back of a two-wheeled electric vehicle, just as they reached the end of the line.
