Chapter 8 Roll up your sleeves and get to work



"There's nothing at home, just be careful."

Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment and agreed. He would be safe only if he had stored food.

It's better to go out and do it than to target her.

1801 glanced at the living room and said, "Thank you for taking care of Doudou for me."

"As you should. You helped me yesterday, too."

Jiang Ning was a cautious person and put away the stockpiled goods early, leaving only humble winter melon, pumpkin and cabbage in the kitchen.

Huo Yishen nodded and left.

The food plan was delayed, so Jiang Ning turned on the light in the bathroom, took out the unwashed pig intestines from the space and continued to work on it. However, halfway through, there was a sudden power outage.

After closing the door, she slipped into the space.

The electricity in the space did not go out, and in addition to ecstasy, I also had more faith in the dark end of the world.

People’s hearts are unpredictable. Even when facing children, Jiang Ning was extra vigilant and cooked cabbage noodles in the evening.

People with a cold cannot eat eggs, so she added a piece of ham, and Doudou ate it with gusto.

After getting used to it, Doudou was not so timid anymore. "Sister's cooking was delicious, but brother's cooking was ruined."

1801 was only in her early 20s, so it was normal that she couldn't cook. Seeing that she had a good appetite, Jiang Ning gave her another half bowl.

It was completely dark before six o'clock.

Although Jinrong Community is located at a relatively high altitude, the accumulated water still reached the gate of the community.

The group was still lively, but there were obviously fewer people showing off their food. The raging typhoon and power outages finally made them feel scared, and tension was spreading.

Jiang Ning raised the price of the instant noodles to 30 yuan, but still no one said anything.

Firstly, they are neighbors. If they are blinded by money, it will be awkward to meet them in the future. Secondly, they are also afraid and have taken precautions against this kind of horrible weather.

The power went out and the whole city fell into darkness. The bright lights of the past could no longer be seen, and an invisible sense of unease followed.

Jiang Ning closed the curtains and turned on the solar light.

Doudou was scared and subconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes.

I don’t know how to take care of children, so I can only continue to play cartoons on the tablet.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, 1801 came back.

Wearing a dry casual outfit and carrying a bag of things, he said, "Jiang Ning, thank you for taking care of Doudou."

The stuff was quite heavy: a bag of potatoes, two heads of cabbage, 2 kilograms of noodles, a box of cold medicine, an alcohol stove and solid alcohol tablets.

Huo Yishen reminded, "There's a power outage, and there may also be a water outage, so you'd better stock up."

Jiang Ning thanked him and accepted the gift after a few hesitations.

After he left with Doudou, I immediately closed the doors and windows and turned on the gas stove to cook braised pork intestines, braised pork intestines, and stir-fried pork intestines with hot and sour sauce...

Sweet and sour pork ribs, pork ribs and corn soup, flame-drunk goose, stir-fried beef with green peppers.

I was busy until late at night and when I came out to throw away the kitchen waste, I found water stains on the corridor floor.

The water-stained shoe prints disappeared at the door of 1801...

Going out during the day and going out late at night?

The three stainless steel doors store things day and night regardless of the danger, not only reminding her to store water, but also the things she sends are all famous.

Back in the room, Jiang Ning fell into deep thought. This 1801 was not simple.

It was a little cool due to the rain, and I slept very comfortably.

It was still dark outside, and Jiang Ning continued to sleep.

When I got tired of sleeping and opened my phone, it was already past ten in the morning.

She walked to the balcony. It was dusty everywhere outside. The sky and water were connected and it was hard to tell where the boundary was.

There was a faint noise coming from downstairs, Jiang Ning looked down and found that the water had already flooded into the community, and the residents on the first floor had just been flooded.

There was a power outage yesterday and the group was much quieter, but some people still posted pictures showing that the water had already reached the ankles of a group of residents.

The alarm phone call could not be connected, and it was useless even if it was connected because the duty point had been flooded.

The residents moved their belongings upstairs in a hurry, cursing and swearing.

This place is close to the university town, and there are very few vacant houses. Those that are not lived in will be rented out.

Some smart people have already asked in the group, who can take them in temporarily?

It’s usually okay as neighbors can help each other, but now not only is there a power outage, but even the gas has been cut off when I woke up in the morning.

If rescue can't come in, who dares to take in others?

It is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. What if they come in and never leave? Housing is a problem, and how to solve the problem of food.

What I fear most is helping others and causing enmity, and the group becomes silent.

The residents on the first floor are depressed, but they can’t block the corridor, right?

The rainstorm and typhoon continued, how could we live in a wet corridor? Adults could tolerate it, but how could children!

Many people were unwilling to give up, so they searched up one level at a time, knocking on doors one by one to ask.

If it really doesn't work, you can just pay and stay in a hotel.

The residents either don’t say anything or their houses are full and there is really nothing that can be done.

The door was knocked again. Jiang Ning was surprised at the speed of the first floor. Who knew it was 1801.

He had just woken up as well, and his expression showed a trace of fatigue. "I've changed the door at my house. Is it okay to install the old one on the stairs?"

Jiang Ning was more than happy to help.

The two worked together to install the old door at the entrance of the stairs leading to the 18th floor.

Although he said he was helping, 1801 did all the work. Jiang Ning just helped a little and got a key in return.

When the residents on the first floor came up, they saw that the door at the stairs had turned green, so they turned around and walked downstairs, cursing.

Jiang Ning was listening to the noise upstairs. This was a good idea as it saved him a lot of trouble and danger.

This door has temporarily kept me out of trouble, but that may not be the case in the future. I'll install her door as well when the time comes.

Everyone is not stupid. If two doors are installed at once, they can tell with their toes that there is food stored on the 18th floor.

Once they come in droves, no amount of doors will be able to stop them.

It’s not too late to take it out when it gets extremely cold.

The natural gas was cut off, so Jiang Ning dragged out the gas cylinder from the space, fiddled with it for a while before installing the stove, closed the doors and windows and continued frying, stir-frying and cooking.

Even if the smell overflows, it will be washed away by the rain.

But it was very uncomfortable. The kitchen was damp, greasy, and like a sauna, and Jiang Ning was covered in the smell.

But if we don’t do it now, we will never dare to open fire in the future.

I ate a spicy hotpot and was sweating all over. The spiciness made me feel refreshed.

The water level continued to rise and was already half a calf deep.

To avoid anxiety, Jiang Ning turned off his mobile phone, took a comfortable nap, and then entered the space to open up new areas.

Seeing the pitifully low number on the timer, Yu rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

Time is life. The hoe was so powerful that blisters soon appeared on his two white and tender hands.

10 square meters may not look big, but it is very tiring to turn it over.

After turning the ground and smoothing it, Jiang Ning divided it into four grids and scattered different vegetable seeds in each grid, not forgetting to also scatter a few eggplant seeds, green peppers, cucumbers, etc., which could be planted in the corners later.

There is only so much land, so we must use it wisely and not waste it.

The time in this space is synchronized with that outside, but it seems that there is no season. She thought about it and planted a tangerine tree and some old grape seedlings in the corner.

No matter how hard I tried, it still took me two hours. I felt so heartbroken.

After leaving the space, I found that the water had stopped and the Internet was intermittent. It felt like the whole world was about to come to a standstill...
