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

Jiang Li was woken up early in the morning by her biological clock.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, her consciousness slowly returning, she threw back the covers and went to the bathroom.

Jiang Li, dressed neatly, walked downstairs. Ye Jingmo frowned slightly as he looked down at the information on his watch.

Jiang Li walked to the dining table, picked up a glass of milk, inserted a straw, and asked curiously:

"Brother Mo, is there any important news?"

What on earth happened to make Brother Mo make such an expression?

"The official notice states that relief food distribution will be suspended starting the day after tomorrow, and that the monetary policy will be transformed into a points-based policy."

Cancel relief food! A points-based system?!

Two major pieces of news in one sentence.

Jiang Li was somewhat bewildered.

Monetary policy will be replaced sooner or later, after all, money is not as important as food and water now.

Emeralds and jadeite that were once worth millions can't even buy a bottle of water or a piece of bread these days.

As for canceling relief food and proposing a points-based system...

Jiang Li rested her chin on the side of her index finger, her eyes lowered, lost in thought.

Could it be that the official food reserves are insufficient?

Indeed, the acid rain and flooding that occurred before the earthquake rendered most of the food inedible.

The ensuing earthquake caused buildings to collapse, and most soldiers were rescuing victims, leaving only a small number to salvage supplies.

The points system may have been introduced to reassure the public and encourage people to earn their food through labor.

Otherwise, this precarious social order would collapse in an instant.

"Brother Mo, how do you think this points policy will be implemented?"

Jiang Li took a sip of milk and asked Ye Jingmo for his thoughts on the matter.

"We'll have to wait for the official announcement for details, but it's probably in preparation for future social development."

"Hurry up and eat breakfast, or you'll miss the bus."

Ye Jingmo glanced at the time on his watch and looked helplessly at Jiang Li, who hadn't touched a bite of bread.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li noticed the time; the truck was about to depart in ten minutes.

Jiang Li finished the bread in no time, just like she used to be late for class in college.

Uh~

Jiang Li took a big gulp of milk and patted her chest to catch her breath.

I almost choked to death on the bread.

"Brother Mo, let's go, let's go!"

Jiang Li picked up her backpack and urged Ye Jingmo, who was sitting in a chair, to hurry up.

The two walked out the door together.

"Sister Jiang Li!!"

Qin Yue ran at the speed of a hundred meters and rushed up to hug Jiang Li.

"I miss you so much."

Qin Yue buried her head in Jiang Li's arms.

Feeling the soft embrace of Jiang Li, like a little bird lying in its nest, Qin Yue felt extremely comfortable.

next moment,

Qin Yue then left the warm embrace.

what,

No, why did Sister Jiang Li leave?

Qin Yue opened her eyes and saw Ye Jingmo holding Jiang Li's hand, his face somewhat gloomy.

"If we delay any longer, we'll miss the train."

Ye Jingmo coldly uttered a sentence.

Qin Yue scratched her face awkwardly. Ah, she had accidentally been nestled in Jiang Li's arms for too long.

Jiang Li's embrace was so warm that she couldn't bear to leave.

All four of them got into the truck.

Qin Yue leaned over and chatted with Jiang Li.

Is your leg feeling better?

Jiang Li looked at Qin Yue's seemingly unharmed leg and asked her with concern.

"It's alright now. I've been feeling really bored these past few days while I was recovering from my injury. I've been thinking about going scavenging with you every day."

Jiang Li and Qin Yue chatted quietly as time flew by, and the truck came to a stop.

Jiang Li stepped off the truck and discovered that the rescue site they had arrived at was different from the one before.

Qin Yu politely inquired with a soldier, then returned and explained to the three:

“The previous residential buildings were no longer of any use for rescue. This area used to be a hospital, mainly used for rescuing medical supplies.”

The authorities have realized something is wrong and are planning to stockpile medical supplies in advance to prevent the arrival of future epidemics.

The idea flashed through Jiang Li's mind.

"There's a food street behind this hospital; go there if you're going to scavenge."

Ye Jingmo lowered his head and whispered in Jiang Li's ear,

"Remember what you promised me: if anything happens, you have to tell me. Otherwise, you'll be staying home obediently next time."

Jiang Li nodded obediently, like a child listening to his parents' instructions.

She's a good girl, she'll definitely be obedient, don't leave her alone at home.

Qin Yu and Ye Jingmo went to the hospital ruins to dig for medical supplies.

Qin Yue and Jiang Li went to the food street behind the hospital together.

None of the shops on the food street had collapsed; four or five shops still stood amidst the ruins.

"Sister Jiang Li, let's go take a look at those shops."

Qin Yue held Jiang Li's hand, her face filled with the excitement of her first time scavenging.

She hoped to find food inside.

Upon closer inspection, the two discovered that the seemingly intact shops had had their windows or locks smashed by others.

The food inside had been taken away, the table was crooked, and pots, pans, and other items were scattered haphazardly on the ground.

Qin Yue's face immediately fell; she really shouldn't have had any hope.

Jiang Li observed the extent of the collapse of the surrounding shops and found a section of ruins that was not too severely collapsed.

Jiang Li saw Qin Yue about to move the rubble with her bare hands, and she stopped her.

Jiang Li took a pair of cotton gloves out of her backpack and handed them to Qin Yue.

"Wear gloves to avoid injury."

Qin Yue nodded gratefully and said in a sweet voice, "Thank you, Sister Jiang Li."

Jiang Li found the main pillar of the ruins and began clearing away the rubble from there.

Soon, an opening appeared that allowed one to look inside.

Qin Yue shone her flashlight inside and found a pile of unopened flour.

Next to it are trays, ovens, mixers, and other bread-making tools.

This is a bakery.

However, the flour was placed in a corner a meter away from the hole, and it couldn't be pulled out by hand.

Jiang Li was somewhat perplexed.

The simplest way to get it is for someone to crawl inside and hand out the flour.

However, this is also very dangerous. If the structure of the ruins is unstable and it collapses again due to the slightest vibration, the person will never be able to get out again.

Qin Yue looked at the flour below with great excitement, as she had just clearly seen that the flour was packaged in plastic bags.

This means that the flour will not be affected by water accumulation and become unusable.

Conservatively estimated, there are ten bags of flour weighing twenty pounds each. Dividing them between the two families would be enough to feed them for a while.

"Sister Jiang Li, how about I jump in and lift the flour up, and you catch it outside?"

Jiang Li shook her head. "This is too dangerous. Let's find a tool first and see if we can get it over here."

Qin Yue was reluctant to part with the flour, but she understood that Jiang Li was right, so she had no choice but to harden her heart and stop looking at the flour below.

Jiang Li covered the cave entrance with something and continued exploring other places with Qin Yue.

As they reached the end of the food street, Jiang Li and Qin Yue were both filled with disappointment.

They did not find any tools that could produce flour.

Suddenly, things took a turn for the better.

Jiang Li casually glanced around and found a fishing tackle shop sign in a pile of ruins.

Fishing net,

A brilliant idea flashed in Jiang Li's mind: she could use it to reach into the hole and get the flour out.

She shared her idea with Qin Yue, who clapped her hands in approval of the plan.
