Xin Fenlan chattered on and on to the two of them about her way of dealing with people and things.
"She knows in her heart that food is hard to come by these days, yet she comes here empty-handed to embarrass you. It's better not to be around people like her."
"Luckily I'm at home, otherwise you two young people would have been bullied to death by these shameless people."
An Jingzhi looked at his mother-in-law who was still chattering, feeling a little amused and helpless.
This is the first time someone has said that he is thin-skinned.
"Yes, yes, thanks to you being here. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do. After all, we've been neighbors for several years."
"That's why they say that an old man in the family is like a treasure. We have three treasures in our family, and we rely on you to be the pillars of our family!"
"We still have to listen to you three treasures when it comes to life. You have a lot of life experience and you will definitely not let our family suffer any loss."
An Jingzhi's few words made the three elderly people in the family smile and forget all the unpleasantness that had just happened.
Li Jianshan, who lived next door, also saw the situation outside through the peephole. He also wanted to say something at that time, for fear that An Jingzhi would feel embarrassed about being cheated.
It's easy to borrow once, but what I'm afraid of is that other people will also take advantage of this opportunity. You borrow a little, I borrow a little, and it's endless. When you don't want to lend anymore, you become the bad guy.
Seeing that there was no more hustle and bustle outside, he turned to his wife and daughter and said, "Fortunately, there are elderly people at home, otherwise, these two young people would probably be too embarrassed to do this."
Li Jianshan's daughter said, "Dad, why do I feel like Sister Xin seems a little different?"
Li Jianshan coughed twice. "What's the difference? You're in school every day, and you don't see them often."
"It just feels different. I feel a little cold just looking at her."
"Forget it, let's not talk about others. Old Li, how is your health? You have been coughing since you came back the day before yesterday." Li Jianshan's wife said.
Li Jianshan coughed twice more, waved his hand nonchalantly, and said, "I guess it's because I soaked in the water for too long. I have a cold, but it's nothing serious. Didn't I take our cold medicine?"
"Why do I feel that your cough is getting worse?" Li Jianshan's wife asked worriedly.
"It's okay. Don't I know my own body well?"
Mr. Dao’s house.
They also heard the noise upstairs and downstairs.
Mr. Dao's wife curled her lips and said, "I think she's a fool. She wants to take advantage of everything. She doesn't even think about the time we have now. Xiao Xin is the only doctor in our building. If anyone has a headache or a fever, they have to rely on Xiao Xin."
"Besides, what kind of world is this? I really can't think straight."
"Old man, is what Qingmin said true? Is this the last time supplies are distributed?"
"We still have ten kilograms of rice, one kilogram of flour, and a bag of noodles. The rest are compressed biscuits and sweet potatoes. It's enough to last for more than a month at most, if we save a little, which is only about two months. How are we going to survive after that?"
Old Master Dao was uneasy. "It's okay. I guess this disaster is too big and the country hasn't recovered yet."
The grandson in the corner thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa and grandma, it's not that I'm discouraged, but this time the whole world is experiencing floods and heavy rain. When will the country recover?"
The Dao family was in a gloomy mood. The other neighbors also talked about the woman's stupidity and began to worry about the days to come.
In fact, many people have been prepared in their hearts, knowing that the country may not distribute supplies anymore. After all, the supplies are getting less and less, and less and less punctual.
But after hearing the confirmed news and asking them to save themselves, a lot of trouble still arose.
Several families in the corridor had people go out and never come back, and wailing sounds could be heard every day.
The rain in the sky was intermittent. An Jingzhi looked along the iron bars outside the window and saw that the boats on the water never stopped.
Everyone used their own magical powers. Those who had boats used their boats, those who didn't used lifebuoys, some sat in the basin, some sat on the door panels, and some even floated on the water holding onto wood.
All for a bite to eat.
The volunteer recruitment office, which was originally deserted, was surrounded by a group of people.
As a volunteer, at least there is some food to be distributed, so you won’t starve to death.
But they no longer accept volunteers here, and even many of those who were recruited before have been dismissed and sent home.
Dao Qingmin came back at this time.
When he came back, all the neighbors in the corridor surrounded him and asked questions.
"Does the country really not care about us anymore?"
"Is it really over?"
"How are we going to get through this? The adults are fine, but the elderly and children can't make it. Those at home who have minor pains and illnesses can still take their regular medicine, but my mother-in-law's high blood pressure medicine is almost gone, and I don't know where to buy more."
Dao Qingmin himself is also a mess.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Actually, I don't know much. I'll tell you what I know."
He said it twice, but the people in the corridor were still talking to themselves, chattering loudly.
It was only after Mr. Dao roared that everyone quieted down.
Seeing the crowd quiet down, Dao Qingmin said, "The country will definitely not ignore us, but the current situation is special, so we can't spare any help for the time being."
"What I heard was that we should save ourselves first. The top floor of the hospital is open and you can go there to buy medicine, but you need to have a medical record or get a prescription on the spot."
"I know that. I've already asked. I could buy it before, but now I can't."
"I'm not sure about that. Our group of volunteers has been disbanded. They said they're not needed to help transport supplies for the time being. I don't know much, but everyone should prepare themselves. We still need to go out and look for more things."
After saying this, Dao Qingmin didn't care what everyone thought and immediately returned to the Dao family.
