After the three of them finished their meal, Lu's mother cleaned up the table and took the rice bowl to the toilet, where she saw that the water flow from the faucet was not as strong as in the morning.

He hurriedly called the old man and asked him to take out all the unused rice bowls in the house, collect water, and put them on the dining table.

Then he went back to the kitchen and cleaned up quickly, filled the kettle with water, poked the honeycomb coal inside with the stove hook, placed the kettle on it and slowly boiled it.

"I see the water is about to stop flowing." After fetching the water, Father Lu went back to the house and sighed as he looked outside and saw the heavy rain still pouring down.

"That's nothing we can do. Let's just make sure we have enough water and food, and don't worry about the rest." Mother Lu thought that if the water and electricity were cut off in the future, she couldn't let others come to her house, so that they wouldn't find out that there were so many water tanks in her house and come to borrow water.

"Well, go to sleep." Father Lu thought that he couldn't do anything that day, and he couldn't turn on the lights to waste electricity, so he could only sleep.

They slept soundly, but the others couldn't. They were all lying on the ground.

After we moved in the rain, we found out that the water supply was going to be cut off before we finished packing.

They all hurriedly took out the pots, pans, and unused jars and water tanks in their homes to collect water.

Fortunately, they moved in early and had everything ready. If they had just moved in, they would have no supplies to store water at home.

Thinking of this, Chang Xia burst into laughter while working at home.

"What are you laughing at this late hour? It sounds creepy." Li Dayou listened to his wife's laughter, stretched out his hand and scratched her arm, saying unhappily

"Nothing, get back to work." Chang Xia waved her hand and sent everyone to work. She packed up her things while thinking:

Section 38

These people only have two water tanks at home. If there is a water outage and others come to borrow water from their home, what should they use in exchange? Such precious things cannot be given away for free.

No one knew what she was thinking. If they did, they would have drowned her with spit.

They all came here at about the same time, and they are all living off the land. Even if their house is small, they still have a water tank, and if they use it sparingly, it can be used for several days.

Even Qian Xiaomei, who had only been here a few days, bought several water jars, various pots and jars when her husband went to the city to pick her up.

She originally bought these things intending to pickle sauerkraut and pickles in the fall.

Who would have thought that the pickles would be used to collect water before they were pickled.

But because everyone was drawing water at the same time, the faucet, which already had a small flow, now only made a "tick, tick" sound.

Chang Xia lives on the third floor. Several families living on the second floor are collecting water, so there is even less water when it comes to her family.

She looked at the two water tanks in her house, one of which was not even full and was about to run out of water. She angrily opened the door and ran out despite the heavy rain outside.

"Hey, it's raining so hard, where are you going?" Li Dayou looked at the person who ran out and shouted at the door.

"I'll be back soon, don't worry about it." Chang Xia said impatiently, and then she went to Qian Xiaomei's house and knocked on the door.

"Wait a minute, I'll be right there." Qian Xiaomei saw that the water in the rice bowl was almost full, so she didn't open the door. After the water was completely full, she poured it into the vat, then put the rice bowl on a stool to let it slowly fill up. She patted her waist and went to open the door.

Chang Xia was very cold due to the rain, and the fact that there was no water at home made her even more irritable. When she saw Qian Xiaomei open the door, she pushed her away without saying a word, went into the house, found the faucet and turned it off.

"Hey, sister-in-law, what are you doing? My water supply hasn't been connected yet, why did you turn it off?" Qian Xiaomei looked at the person in front of her, turned off the faucet, and suddenly became anxious.

"Connect, connect, connect! Look at how much you have connected. Because you always connect water, there is no water left in our tap." Chang Xia held the tap and refused to let Qian Xiaomei turn it on, saying angrily.

"Sister-in-law, please take your hands away first. I'll fill the water tank and stop, okay?" Qian Xiaomei was so anxious at this time, but she couldn't stretch out her hands, for fear of breaking the faucet, so she could only stand there and speak in a gentle voice.

"No, wait until you fill it up. What will happen if there is no water at home?" Chang Xia ignored what the person in front of her said and just held the faucet without saying a word.

I thought to myself, if I just stood here, her tank would probably be full soon.

"Let go of me." Seeing her like this, Qian Xiaomei couldn't control her temper anymore. She stretched out her hand and pulled Chang Xia's hair, asking her to let go quickly.

"No, I won't." Chang Xia was also trying her best to fill the water tank for her family. No matter how Qian Xiaomei pulled her hair, she just held the faucet and refused to let go.

"Let go of me, let go." Qian Xiaomei saw that there was no other way and had to go forward and grab Chang Xia's hand, asking her to let go quickly.

"Old man, listen, what's that noise?" Mother Lu was lying in bed, unable to sleep, and thinking about all sorts of things when she suddenly heard a noise that sounded like a quarrel. She reached out and pushed the old man, who she didn't know whether he was asleep or not, to let him listen to what the noise was.

"It seems like there's a quarrel next door, but she's alone at home, so how could there be any noise of quarreling?" Father Lu was also awake. When he heard the old woman's question, he put his ear to the wall and listened carefully.

"Should we go and take a look?" Mother Lu thought that the girl was pretty good, so she looked at the old man and asked

"Let's go, wear more clothes, it's cold at night." Father Lu thought that they were all neighbors, so it wouldn't be a big deal to go and take a look.

"Hold an umbrella. Didn't your son-in-law bring an umbrella with him? This way, you won't get your clothes wet." Mother Lu and her husband quietly put on their clothes and walked out with their umbrellas.

"Please let go of me, let go quickly, I beg you, if the water is really cut off, my house has so little water that it won't last more than two days." Qian Xiaomei was so angry that she stretched out her hands to pull and cried for someone to let go.

"What are you two doing?" Mother Lu and her partner walked to the door and looked at the two people in the room, frowning and asking.

"Auntie, you are here, please help me take my sister-in-law's hand away. Because there is not enough water in the tap at home, she came to my house and stopped me from running. She is trying to kill me." When Qian Xiaomei saw Lu's mother coming, she cried and begged as if she saw a savior.

"Okay, don't cry, I'll help you." When Mother Lu heard this, she thought it was too much, so she rolled up her sleeves and walked into the house.

"Auntie, don't come over here. This is our family's business. Don't get involved. If I get hurt, don't blame me." Chang Xia looked at the old lady coming over, afraid that she couldn't beat the two of them, so she threatened

"If you really dare to hit me, come on. I'm not afraid of you. No matter what I say today, you have to let go of me. There are several families in this building. How can you bully my little sister?" After saying this, Mother Lu stretched out her hands to pry open the faucet.

In this way, several people pulled back and forth, and the faucet, which was of poor quality to begin with, became

“Wow…”
