Chapter 43 I have nothing to exchange for, I can’t give you food
After getting up from the swimming pool, Shi Yuebai changed into the spacious new clothes that Shi's mother had just sewn for him.
A new cylindrical garment made by sewing two clean new sheets together.
Even so, it was already very good for Shi Yuebai.
It would be difficult to find clothes that suit her in this wasteland.
Her original dress, which was covered with pudding and holes, was no longer wearable.
Shi Yuebai was disgusted with using the old clothes as a rag.
The whole family was happy and took a clean bath.
Even Shi Xiangrui was placed on a floating cloud by Nong Yasi, dressed in a mermaid swimsuit and a neck collar, and then put in the swimming pool to swim.
The next morning, Shi Yuebai received a text message from Yi Zhe.
[Yizhe: Have you guys been doing your scavenging properly these past few days?]
Shi Yuebai casually replied, "Hmm."
【Yizhe: Did you find anything to eat? 】
Shi Yuebai didn't want to get involved if she said that she had never taken anyone from the Shi family to scavenge.
Yi Zhe was about to sigh at her again.
She started to lie, "I found it, and it was delicious."
Yizhe did not send any more messages.
Shi Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the crowded yard and turned back to instruct Nong Yasi.
Today we continued moving the stones behind the tarpaulin.
Behind the Shi family's tarpaulin, on the road leading to the public toilet, a small swimming pool was dug out, and the entire area became very large.
The open space extends directly from under the bridge pier all the way upwards.
Fortunately, those who were engaged in urban construction in the wasteland took into account the inconveniences of some disabled people.
A ramp will be set up next to the steps.
This made it much easier for Nong Yasi and Shi Ersao to move the stones by dragging the construction site cart.
The excavator arm plays a significant role in the process of moving stones.
Shi Yuebai was making plans, so there was no need to clean up the broken stones on the steps for now.
Just clear the stones on the slope.
Just build the ramp directly, so you don’t even need to use cement for paving the road.
"Shi Yuebai."
A cautious voice sounded at the gate of the wall.
Shi Yuebai turned around and saw Ah Hong with red eyes, carrying her son on her back, and hunching her waist timidly.
She frowned and asked unhappily,
"do what?"
"All the red bricks in my house were stolen."
Ah Hong felt like she was about to break apart.
She had been running around yesterday and was already extremely hungry. In a short period of time, she ran for her life.
After returning to her tarpaulin, she fainted from exhaustion.
When she woke up this morning, she found that all the red bricks next to her tarpaulin had been stolen.
The people in the team used the red bricks next to her house and exchanged them for bread at Yuebai's place.
Ah Hong said humbly, "I don't have anything to exchange at home."
"Shi Yuebai, what else do you need from me? I can give you anything."
"I beg you, please."
Although everyone in the team said that Shi Yuebai's bread had been replaced.
By working together, they finally used some garbage to trick the Shi family's bread out and share it with the team.
But Shi Yuebai still had a box of potatoes and a dozen cans of cat food in his hands.
Now everyone in the team is thinking about how to get these things out of Shi Yuebai's hands.
Ah Hong was anxious. She had already broken the small piece of bread she had obtained yesterday into pieces and fed it to her son with water.
She had neither a sip of water nor a drop of bread for herself.
Shi Yuebai was feeling irritated. "Could you please stop begging me all the time?"
"Are your knees so weak and worthless?"
Shi Yuebai is not a psychopath. She just likes to see the weak kneeling down and begging her.
She said in a vicious voice, "I have nothing to exchange for. I can't give you anything to eat."
“This is not a charity.”
After saying that, he slid the flatbed cart and turned to leave.
Behind her, Ah Hong cried loudly,
"Well, can I help you move the stones?"
"I still have strength. I'm very strong."
"I can, I really can, Shi Yuebai, please, no no no, please give me a chance! Let me prove that I am useful."
Shi Yuebai stopped and turned to look at Ah Hong.
Ah Hong's knees, which were about to bend, straightened up.
Just when she thought Shi Yuebai was going to reject her mercilessly.
Shi Yuebai nodded.
"Can you mix cement? Oh, it doesn't matter if you can't, because I can't either."
"I don't want you to carry bricks, build that wall for me."
Because there were so many things, some blind person tried to climb over the wall into the Shi family's yard to steal things last night.
There was no need for Yuebai to take action, her hair would scare people away.
However, the wall built by Shi Yuebai was a shoddy project.
It collapsed with just a touch of someone's hand.
Very good, Shi Yuebai was almost moved to tears by his own craftsmanship.
It just so happened that Ah Hong brought it to his doorstep, so Shi Yuebai didn't have to repair the rubble wall by himself.
Ah Hong nodded hurriedly, carrying her son, who was only a bag of bones left, and hurried to the collapsed rubble wall.
She put her son beside her, rolled up her sleeves and started mixing cement.
As Ah Hong said, she is still quite strong.
After all, she hadn't eaten for so long, and she was still able to swing the shovel.
She was more experienced than Shi Yuebai and could sift out tiny stones from the crushed stones and mix them with cement.
Just as Ah Hong was about to mix the cement, she turned around and saw a large tank of clean water next to the cement mixing machine.
Ah Hong: “.”
"Yuebai, this, this."
Such a big tank of clean water, use it to mix cement?
Ah Hong felt like she was going to faint.
Shi Yuebai said angrily, "Don't be lazy, work quickly, or I'll deduct your food."
She was reading a book in her hand, which she borrowed from Guaiguai. The book was called "The Domineering President's Delicate Baby".
There is some interest, but not much.
Ah Hong didn't dare to speak anymore and could only work hard.
After a while, she asked Shi Yuebai cautiously,
"Miss Shi, can I give my son some of this water?"
Shi Yuebai took a quick look and turned back to call out, "Yaoyao, get some water for Ah Hong and her son."
While practicing calligraphy, Yaoyao stood up obediently, ran into the tarpaulin, and took out two bottles of water.
"Here, this is clean."
Although Shi Yaoyao was ignorant, she obeyed her aunt's words as if they were imperial decrees.
Auntie only let them drink clean water from the bottle.
The water used for bathing in the swimming pool, the water used for washing face next to the clothes rack, or the water used for mixing cement next to the cement.
You can’t drink any of them.
My aunt said it was dirty.
Ah Hong took the two bottles of water with trembling hands and carefully fed her son a sip.
"Mother."
The son raised his thin eyelids,
"Mom drinks too."
Shi Yaoyao watched from the side and turned around to look at Shi Ersao and Shi Yuebai.
She took a bottle of water and took the initiative to run to Shi Ersao and Shi Yuebai, "Mom, drink some water."
"Auntie, drink some water."
Ah, is anyone there?
