I survived with my sister in the doomsday

Chapter 122: Continue to Store Food

Feicui is leaving tomorrow. I want to ask grandpa if he can give her some more space. She wants to take some more things with her. If she leaves us alone, I also hope that her space can be expanded. If she takes more things with her, she may need them at a critical moment. For example, I think it would be good to take a steel plate with her. It can be used to block a knife or bullet when she takes it out suddenly.

Currently, Feicui only has 40 cubic meters of space. In addition to some necessary food and clothes, Feicui used to put her sports car in such a large space. But that day, she took out the sports car and put it in the parking space at home, saying that Duanmu Hong gave her a Harley motorcycle. She took it out and showed it off to us for a long time, showing its powerful mechanical power with its exposed engine and thick exhaust pipe...

I can't help but sigh, who can not like such a handsome motorcycle? And reflexively thought, is Duanmu Hong interested in you?

Feicui didn't care: What does it matter if a little kid likes or dislikes?

I was amazed: "You think she's too young? Are you two different ages?"

Feicui said impatiently: "That boy is two months younger than me. Who would like a child? Besides, I haven't seen anyone who is worthy of me yet."

I curled my lips: Yes, yes, yes, you are the best, who can be worthy of you?

At this time, grandpa came over and asked if the jade was ready.

Feicui nodded, and then said to her grandfather coquettishly: "Grandpa, can you give me some more space? I have many things I want to take away!"

Grandpa looked at Feicui lovingly, smiled and promised her that the upgraded Grandpa could see if he could expand her space. Then, he held Feicui's hands and pushed his own space to Feicui for thirty cubic meters. Now Feicui's space has expanded to 70 cubic meters.

Feicui was extremely happy. She could only act like a girl in front of her grandfather. Her grandfather gave her five cubic meters of instant noodles and water. He was mainly worried that she would have nothing to eat and nothing to use, so he stuffed her with toilet paper, sanitary napkins, clothes, pants, and shoes. Her grandfather was busy, nagging her to be careful, not to rush forward if anything happened, and to hide if she could and run if she could...

Looking at this scene, I can't help but feel a little emotional. I hope everything goes well for her...

The next day, after sending Feicui away, I felt lost. Would the child be in danger? A mother worries when her child is away from home.

According to our plan from yesterday, Lin Lin and I are going to Brother Xiao's large shopping mall today to see if we can buy some more rice and other food. Although we have stockpiled a lot, there are so many people in our family and so many mouths to feed. We have to cook a big pot of rice every day, and the bag of rice will be gone in less than half a month. We have to buy some more for the future.

My younger sister Zhenzhu and Yang Yuxuan were going to the Mid-Levels Public Library. The public library was still open. In the past, public libraries were cultural institutions that provided services. People could freely enter the library to read books and newspapers. But now it is no longer possible because of the disaster and the library managers also need to eat. They have no other way to make money and can only rely on collecting fees to support their families. The fees are not high, 100 yuan per person, but it is not enough to make ends meet. Now they are actually selling books. My younger sister and her friends heard that the library was going to sell books, so they wanted to go and take a look.

This morning, the cash register in my space supermarket had more than 6000 yuan. Looking at the money, I fell into deep thought. In the current form, it seems that the money will soon become waste paper, right? Then what will everyone use to circulate when they leave the city in the future? Maybe we can only rely on bartering. It is more useful to hoard supplies.

Lin Lin and I drove a box truck today. The car was quite crowded, so we first sent my younger sister and the others to the public library and then quickly went to Lao Xiao's place.

Lao Xiao, whose real name is Xiao Yue, is the manager of Banshan Commercial Building. When he saw me, he greeted me with a friendly attitude of an old acquaintance and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Huo is here. I wanted to come to see you these days."

It suddenly occurred to me that I had filled in our home address when I exchanged appliances like refrigerators from him, and he was able to find me based on the address.

I also pretended to be very happy and said: Brother Xiao, why do you miss me so much?

He took me to his manager's office, and when there was no one around, he whispered to me if I had come to deliver goods for him again.

I brought a batch of cigarettes with me. I haven't sold them for a long time, so I have a lot of cigarettes saved up, all in my space. But now I want to use the money to buy food. Money will become less and less useful, so of course I should spend it first.

I pretended to be worried and frowned and replied, "Brother Xiao, you know how difficult and dangerous it is to go out to buy goods in this world! Just yesterday, my brother and I went out together, and we were almost robbed by robbers on the way! Tell me, is there still law these days? It makes us small business owners dare not go out easily. If we go shopping without the protection of an escort agency, we will be working with our heads on the belt. It is a high-risk industry!"

Xiao Yue nodded and said yes. The guys they sent out to purchase supplies a few days ago haven't come back yet. He wondered if they were in danger.

Seeing that he still wanted to ask me about cigarettes, I quickly asked if I could still buy food from you with money?

Xiao Yue's eyes flickered, and he sighed and replied, "The government is also hoarding grain, and they said they would distribute grain today, right? Why don't you go and get it?"

I told him the truth that I wanted to buy some to stock up, but there was no way as there were too many people in my family and purchase restrictions were in place everywhere. I could only ask you, Brother Xiao, if you could sell me some rice? I also said that I could buy it at the current market price.

Xiao Yue frowned, looking embarrassed, "Xiao Huo, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but food is really in short supply right now. But..." He changed the subject, "I can think of a way, but the price will definitely be several times higher. Can you accept it?"

I pretended to think for a moment, gritted my teeth and nodded, "As long as there is food, it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher."

Seeing this, Xiao Yue took out his cell phone and started to make a call. After a while, he put down the phone and smiled at me, "Done! But, you see, Brother Xiao, I also want to get some cigarettes recently, if you have any..."

I was delighted. As long as I could buy food, it would be worth it even if I had to pay for a few cigarettes!

Sure enough, Xiao Yue took my brother and me in the car and drove around to a place that looked like a private warehouse. When we arrived, we placed 50 bags of rice and flour we wanted to buy outside the warehouse. They sold them to me for 1,500 yuan per bag, which was 150,000 yuan at once. The contact was a fat guy with a face full of flesh and looked like he was not easy to mess with. He counted the money and nodded with satisfaction.

He had a younger brother who helped, and together with Brother Xiao, the four of us spent half a day moving the goods, and filled my box to the brim. My physical fitness has improved a lot recently, and I didn't feel tired after doing half a day's physical work.

When I came back, I took out two soft Zhonghua cigarettes and three Furong King cigarettes and handed them to Brother Xiao, explaining that these were all I could get at the moment. I expressed my gratitude to him for leading us and this was a small token of my thanks to him. I also asked if I could come and buy them in the future?

Brother Xiao was also aware of the current prices. Even though these few packs of cigarettes were not much, they would cost tens of thousands of yuan according to the current prices. What’s more, they were not available.

Brother Xiao replied: It’s hard to say what will happen in the future. This boss is not a local and these are the only goods he has left. He wants to leave but is afraid that the government will confiscate his goods, so he sold them secretly. I guess he is going home in the next few days to raise money for the trip.
