That day, they each brought back 5 tons of water, which, if reused, would be enough for a family of four to use for a month.

Then, considering the load-bearing capacity of the building, it was impossible for them to move all the water upstairs.

The quandary is where they hide the rest of the water.

Zhipeng wanted to ask where Zhou Shuwan had put the supplies he had saved for them.

But just like the load-bearing problem, Zhou Shuwan has already stored so much oil for them, and with the addition of water resources, it is definitely not possible.

Zhou Shuwan didn't rush to ask for help to store water, but looked at Qi Mingyu: "Brother Xiaoyu, do you have a place to store water?"

Qi Mingyu had already considered this issue last night.

He has always believed that a cunning rabbit has three burrows, especially in the end times. No matter how well hidden the supplies are, they will be discovered and taken away one day.

Thanks to his experience as a special forces soldier, he knew many places where things were hidden.

The safe house that the Zhou family went to that day was just one of them.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Actually, if we hide the water deep in the mountains, no one will find it."

"Here? This won't work. There are too many people here. We might be discovered at any time." Xue Dong said hurriedly.

"Not here. More and more people will come to Cumulus Mountain looking for water, and it's not safe. But Wanwan, I remember your hometown is also in the north, right?"

"Yes," Zhou Jianghai replied. "It's not too far from here. It takes about 30 minutes to get there by motorboat. We're indeed in the mountains next to us, but the environment isn't as good as here. It's all rocky over there, with no water. Later, people used explosives to demolish the mountains and sell the rocks..."

Father Zhou's voice lowered. He had already thought of where to hide the water.

"Let's go to the Big Ant Hill in our hometown."

The so-called Ant Hill, as the name suggests, is a hill with many big ants, which is unique in the area within a few miles.

Big Ant Hill is just the most inconspicuous mountain among the clusters of mountains. It is the most familiar to humans only because it is closest to the plains.

Behind it, there are many overlapping mountains.

The place Zhou Jianghai took them to was a mountain behind the Big Ant Mountain.

The mountain road is rugged and few people set foot on it.

If the water tank hadn't been tied to wheels, it would have been difficult for them to get there.

After walking in the mountains for a long time, we finally reached our destination.

Zhou Jianghai was talking about a cave that was blown open by explosives. The dense grass and trees outside blocked the entrance, making it almost impossible to see inside.

Hiding the water tank in here makes it difficult to be discovered.

Moreover, the cave is shaded and cool, and there is no need to worry about the water drying up by the sun.

However, Xue Tao panted hard, "Third Uncle, this place is too far. We still want to store more water."

"It's because we're so far away from people that we're not afraid of being discovered, you silly boy." Zhou Jianghai scolded with a smile, and urged everyone: "Let's go back quickly, we can still fetch some water."

By evening, including the water tanks sent back, they had stored a total of 120 tons of water.

Everyone was exhausted, including Zhou Shuwan.

In the last two times, Qi Mingyu firmly refused to allow Zhou Shuwan to carry water and only asked her to support her from the side.

Zhou Jianghai felt sorry for his daughter and tried to persuade her, "There are only young and strong men here. You don't need to work so hard. Listen to your father and take a break."

"Yes, yes, yes! Wanwan just needs to help hold on a little."

Zhou Shuwan didn't feel too tired.

While going down the mountain, Zhou Shuwan took out a few sausages from his backpack and gave one to each person.

Xue Tao devoured the sausage in a few gulps and said, "It would be nice to have another bottle of beer right now."

The Xue family moved into the Dongyuan community after their house collapsed. Although they had enough food and drink, they had basically no access to luxury goods such as beer and cigarettes.

Zhou Shuwan glanced at him and asked, "Want to drink?"

Xue Dong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded hurriedly: "I want to drink, I want to drink, cousin Wan, do you have any at home? Can I have a bottle for you?"

That servile and servile look made everyone laugh.

Zhou Shuwan looked at the exhausted crowd and smiled, "When we get back, let's go to my house for a meal. I'll give everyone a can of beer!"

Young people, who doesn’t love to have fun and party, especially when there’s beer!

Several people cheered.

Qi Mingyu walked side by side with her, with a faint smile on his face.

Zhou Shuwan glanced at him: "What?"

Qi Mingyu smiled and shook her head: "I just always thought you were a younger sister, but I didn't expect you to have the potential to be a big sister."

"Come to my house in the evening and have a drink." Zhou Shuwan took the initiative to invite.

The other party thought of water storage and first told the Zhou family, and did not bother to ask them to bring their relatives.

It is really hard to say anything bad about a person with such character and temperament.

It is reasonable for Zhou Shuwan to invite the other party.

Qi Mingyu smiled slightly and agreed.

In the evening, Zhong Tiyun indeed prepared a sumptuous meal.

Their family originally caught three hens on Jiyun Mountain. One of these hens was given to Grandma Pang, and the Zhou family raised two at home. They were frightened at first, but after they came to their new owner's house, they were well fed and watered, and began to lay eggs, one a day, which provided an excuse for their own sufficient source of eggs.

The Zhou family also sends some eggs to my third aunt and second uncle's family from time to time.

Especially at my third aunt's house, there is a little Chunchun who is over one year old. My third aunt doesn't allow anyone else to eat the eggs sent by the Zhou family. She only stews a bowl of tender egg custard for Chunchun every few days to supplement his nutrition.

The chicks that the Zhou family hatched in their incubator have also hatched. They are now a small ball, chirping around people's feet every day. Their tender light yellow color is particularly adorable.

Mu Mu especially liked these new members of the family, and his mother solemnly gave him the task of feeding the chicks.

Not only that, the vegetables and sweet potatoes grown at home grow very fast under the illumination of plant lights.

For example, the leaves of lettuce, bok choy, spinach, and onions can be eaten by pinching them.

The sweet potato seedlings were also successfully cultivated and transplanted into the planting box on the terrace.

With these vegetables and eggs, plus the frozen meat and smoked fish cubes in the large freezer, this dinner was very sumptuous.

The vegetables at my second uncle's house also grew well, but they didn't have plant lights, so the growth rate was much slower than that of Zhou's.

When cousin Zhipeng returned, he brought over a bunch of tender Chinese cabbage and sweet potato leaves, two cans of pork, and a bottle of red wine.

This was obtained when I followed the Zhou and Qi families to look for supplies.

I can't bear to drink it myself, so it's perfect for giving as gifts.

My third aunt's family was not well-off, and the planting boxes had just been planted, so she had nothing to give as a gift. Instead, she sent five pounds of her own smoked fish and two bags of sweet potato vermicelli.

Qi Mingyu brought two packages of donkey meat soup, two packages of roast goose, and a few packages of melon seeds and snacks.

Several people from my cousin's and third cousin's families didn't take anything with them because they were not going back home at night.

This made them feel embarrassed.
