The whole family has their own tasks and is busy coming and going every day, which inevitably attracts the attention of neighbors.
When the two of them were returning home from collecting gasoline, they ran into a neighbor who was just coming back. "Are you guys renovating your house?"
An Jingzhi smiled and said, "Yes, I originally bought a second-hand house. I didn't like some of the places, so I made some changes myself."
This community is an old one and the tallest building is only seven stories high. When the two were together, they didn't have much money and it took them several years to save enough to buy this old and small second-hand house.
The neighbors living here are all elderly people who have lived here for more than ten years.
Neighbors are not strangers to each other and occasionally give each other gifts.
"That's good. Doing it yourself saves a lot of money." The man opposite said with a look of approval: "People nowadays are really rip-offs. They charged me 500 yuan just to unclog my toilet."
The other party's topic was getting more and more off-topic, and had already turned to the many pitfalls he had encountered during the renovation.
An Jingzhi interrupted in time: "Sorry, Brother Li, I have something to do at home, I have to go back first."
After thinking for a moment, he reminded: "I see that things are not peaceful recently. The news reports every day are either about accidents here or there. You never know when it will be our turn."
"It's better to be prepared and stock up on food and water at home."
Xin Ruoyao also recalled the memories from more than ten years ago. Although they were a little vague, she could still vaguely remember Brother Li's family across the street, who were also kind-hearted.
After the natural disaster, the government immediately prepared relief supplies. They and their partner were robbed on the way to collect the supplies. In the end, it was because of Brother Li's ferocity that the supplies of the two families were saved.
At the beginning, the people in the building helped each other.
"Yes, Brother Li, this thing can be eaten after buying it anyway, and it won't be wasted. It's better to be safe than sorry." She persuaded.
"Did your family buy it too?" the other party asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I stocked up some food and drinks, enough to last for a month or so, just in case something unexpected happens." An Jingzhi said.
He did not reveal his family's financial situation, but he should always be on guard against others.
"Okay, I'll buy some later."
After the conversation, when we returned home, Xin Fenlan was still busy making dumplings.
The air conditioner was turned on very low, but Xin Fenlan was still busy and sweating all over.
If the things that the uncle described really happened, then the mother and daughter would have to rely on his family from then on.
Xin Fenlan played her role as much as possible and did not hinder her daughter and her brother-in-law's family.
After receiving the task, she got up at six in the morning and worked quietly until six in the evening.
"Mom is still busy, take a rest." An Jingzhi came back to the house and saw that her back was soaked with sweat, so he said hurriedly.
"It's okay. You're all busy outside. How can I rest? I'm just making and boiling dumplings. It's not tiring at all."
"I also made a lot of buns and put them together with the dumplings. Ruoyao, please put them away."
Xin Ruoyao looked at her mother, who was busy and sweating all over, and felt distressed. "Then come over and rest. It's just right for us to eat the dumplings you made. I'm hungry, Mom. Please eat with us."
"My parents-in-law haven't come back yet, how can we eat first?" Xin Fenlan said after washing her hands and taking off her apron.
"It's okay, Mom. Why should we be so particular about this as a family? When my parents come back, we can just give them dumplings. It will be the same."
An Jingzhi looked at the fruits of his labor placed in the living room. Some were cooked in bowls, while others were uncooked and spread directly on the newspapers.
There are buns and dumplings. Judging from the quantity, Xin Fenlan probably didn't stop at all that day.
Xin Fenlan didn't eat much at noon. He just had a few dumplings and took a few bites before he started working non-stop. At this time, he felt a little hungry.
After being persuaded by An Jingzhi and the other two, the three of them each ate a plate of dumplings, and then Old Man An and the other two returned.
Also brought back was the iron gate that Xin Ruoyao asked them to buy.
They also had dumplings for dinner when they got home. After two or three bites, Old Man An and An Jingzhi started to busy themselves with installing the iron gate.
The two of them studied it for a while and spent an hour and a half to install the iron door.
The security door had been replaced by the original owner a month ago.
Safety is improved and no replacement is required.
While they were changing the door, Xin Ruoyao went door to door and subtly reminded everyone about stockpiling supplies. Some people appreciated it, but some didn't take it seriously.
When she came back, the door had been installed.
"Ruoyao is really smart. This iron door must be installed to provide an extra layer of security." Old Man An praised.
"Father-in-law, you are too polite." Xin Finlan put two glasses of water on the ground and said politely.
Old Man An gulped down his drink. "What's the big deal? Ruoyao is smart. Otherwise, how could she be a doctor at that city hospital?"
"Alas, what a pity."
At this point, the atmosphere at home suddenly became depressing.
These days everyone is busy stocking up and has no time to think about anything else.
Seeing that everything was almost ready, they began to panic.
"Son," Tang Dan said with a grim expression, "Is that really what you said?"
"Mom, I hope not either." An Jingzhi said, looking at Tang Dan's uneasy expression.
He could already feel the magnetic field changing.
This may be a self-protection mechanism of the blue planet. When it reaches a certain level, it will initiate a major cleansing, not only targeting humans but also every living thing on the blue planet.
As the day drew closer, Xin Ruoyao used her connections in the hospital and spent the money from selling her car to purchase a batch of essential medicines.
