Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

Qin Yu seemed to have thought of something else, and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Could we borrow your tools for shoveling sludge?"

Qin Yu thought about the feeling of stepping into the mud every time he went out, the soft, sticky, and rotten mental assault, and he really couldn't stand it anymore.

The trees planted in the front yard also died due to acid rain, leaving only withered trunks standing in the ground.

Qin Yu planned to dig up the dried tree trunks and use them for farming, just like Jiang Li's family.

"Okay, I'll give it to you. Return it to us when you're done."

Jiang Li went to the storage room in the backyard and took out two shovels.

Qin Yu picked up the shovel and called Qin Yue to go home together.

Qin Yue glanced at Pudding reluctantly; she hadn't even touched a single hair on Pudding's head yet.

She stood up and went to Jiang Li's side.

"Sister Jiang Li, can we exchange contact numbers? That would make communication easier."

Jiang Li then realized that she hadn't exchanged contact information with Qin Yue.

Every time they met, it was Qin Yue who came to their door.

"can."

Jiang Li and Qin Yue exchanged contact numbers before Qin Yue reluctantly said goodbye.

After the Qin siblings left, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo went to the front yard to prepare for washing.

Looking at the dark clouds that had drifted in from the horizon, Jiang Li caught a peculiar smell in the air before it started to rain.

"Hopefully it won't rain when we pick up the supplies."

Jiang Li disliked the feeling of being soaking wet.

"If there is heavy rain, the timing of the relief food distribution will likely be changed."

Ye Jingmo scooped the trash out of the pool while talking to Jiang Li.

Rain is now a source of PTSD attacks for people; they fear that the rain will not stop after it starts, just like before.

"Anyway, the official announcement will be made in due time, so there's no point in thinking about it too much."

Jiang Li stepped forward and helped Ye Jingmo clean up the pool.

Thanks to the efforts of the two, the sewage and sludge have been cleaned up.

Jiang Li sprinkled cleaning agent on the floor of the water tank and began scrubbing it with a broom.

The stains that were tightly attached to the ground were dissolved, and black foam floated at the bottom of the pool.

Ye Jingmo scooped water into the container with a spoon, and the water immediately became cloudy.

After being washed several times, the pool's color changed from dark black to obsidian black.

Jiang Li wiped the sweat from her brow, braced herself on the broom with both hands, and used all her strength to support herself.

After it rains, the pool will soon be full of water.

After letting the sun shine for a few days, she can go up the mountain to catch some small fish to raise in the tank.

Jiang Li imagined that there would be all kinds of crops and animals in her home, and she felt like she was a farm owner.

This feeling made her feel content.

With these things in place, she and Mo Ge were able to survive better during the natural disaster.

Seeing Jiang Li's tired appearance, Ye Jingmo silently took water and washed the path and a cement area in front of the door.

By the time Jiang Li realized what was happening, Ye Jingmo had already finished his work.

"Brother Mo, why didn't you remind me?"

"It doesn't take much effort, let's go. Let's go back and rest."

Ye Jingmo used his hand to push Jiang Li's shoulder and pushed her into the house with an undeniable force.

Jiang Li glanced at him with a deep, enigmatic look.

No, this time we must teach Brother Mo a lesson.

Otherwise, he would always finish his work without saying a word.

"Lili, I know I was wrong. I'll definitely remind you next time, okay?"

Ye Jingmo decisively lowered his head.

Jiang Li was caught in a dilemma by Ye Jingmo's straightforward apology.

"Okay, it's settled then. Otherwise, I won't be so easy to talk to next time."

Jiang Li put her hands on her hips and tried to look serious to show her earnestness.

That's the end of this chapter.

At noon, the two ate the flatbread that the Qin family had brought.

It tastes especially good when eaten with the stir-fried dishes that were taken away from the restaurant.

After lunch, it was almost one o'clock.

The sky outside grew even darker, as if a torrential downpour could begin at any moment.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo wore slippers, took two large umbrellas, put them in their backpacks, and went out.

It was still at the entrance of the villa area.

The military trucks were parked in the middle, surrounded by a huge crowd of people.

Staff members shouted through a loudspeaker that people should line up, but many still ignored them and pushed forward.

People wore worried expressions and frequently looked up at the sky.

They wanted to quickly collect the relief food so they could return home, where they could feel safe.

After the staff shouted themselves hoarse, the reluctant people finally formed two lines.

However, arguments occasionally broke out in the middle of the queue over where to stand.

But most people were whispering, talking about how the rain wouldn't stop after it started.

"You people who live off the government's food allowance."

An angry shout came from the side.

Jiang Li saw an elderly man in his seventies grab a staff member by the collar and curse at him without any politeness.

The staff member was a young woman who seemed a little lost when faced with this situation.

Behind the old man stood two tall, thin men, one nearing middle age and the other looking youthful.

It should be three generations of a family.

“Sir, you are old, so we can arrange special care for you. But your family members need to wait in line.”

The staff member's lips turned pale, but his tone remained gentle.

“We’re a family, so let’s get the relief food together.”

This is a minor matter for you, I don't care, you have to solve it for me.

The old man persisted, but the father and son behind him remained silent.

It seemed they were waiting for the staff to agree.

"Rules are rules, and there's no way to change them."

Upon hearing this, the old man flew into a rage and slapped the staff member across the face.

The staff member covered his face with his hands, his eyes brimming with tears.

The people queuing nearby had different expressions; some looked reluctant, while others stared coldly at them.

But no one moved an inch, and no one had the idea of ​​standing up for the staff.

Jiang Li saw that the soldiers in front of her were surrounded and did not notice this situation.

She stepped out of the ranks, ran to the front, grabbed a soldier, and told him about it.

When Jiang Li returned, the old man was still pulling at the staff, but he was immediately stopped by soldiers with guns.

“Your actions will be recorded on your watch, and you will not be able to receive today’s relief food.”

"Why can't I take it? Are you trying to steal my things? Guards! Look, the soldiers are robbing us!"

The old man, whose temper had been suppressed, immediately exploded upon hearing this, sitting on the ground and throwing a tantrum.

The soldier spoke without any politeness:

“If you continue like this, I will have no choice but to take you to prison. At the same time, your whole family will be put on the official blacklist.”

Upon hearing this, the father and son immediately panicked and rushed forward to comfort the old man.

He then bent down and apologized to the soldiers.

Soon, a different staff member came over.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo arrived relatively early and lined up in the middle of the queue.

More than half an hour later, it was finally their turn to receive the relief food.

"Put your watch on that machine and swipe it," the clerk instructed Jiang Li.

The machine was like the old-fashioned payment machine. Jiang Li placed the front of her watch in front of it.

With a "beep" sound,

The words "claimed" appeared on Jiang Li's watch.

The distributor handed the bag of relief food to Jiang Li and waved for her to leave quickly.

Jiang Li rummaged through the bag and found a bottle of mineral water, three small pieces of bread, and a small bag of dried fruit inside.
