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

The next day,

The sky was overcast, and a light drizzle fell to the ground.

Jiang Li woke up to find water stains on the ground outside. She yawned and slowly walked downstairs.

It seems the front yard doesn't need watering today.

I wonder if the seedlings in the ground will sprout after this rain?

As a jumble of random thoughts swept through her mind, Jiang Li stepped down the last step.

She didn't see Ye Jingmo in the living room, so she went to the kitchen.

Ye Jingmo stared intently at the bowl in his hand, his well-defined fingers stirring the chopsticks in his eyes.

Seemingly sensing the gaze behind him, he tilted his head slightly, revealing his sharp jawline and the smooth lines of his neck.

The scars on his face marred his handsome features, but added a touch of wildness and danger.

"Are you up?"

Just in time, you took two tomatoes and an egg from your storage space. I'll make you tomato and egg drop soup today.

Jiang Li was close to Ye Jingmo and could clearly see the flour in the bowl turning into small lumps as Ye Jingmo stirred it.

"I'll cut the tomatoes."

Jiang Li consciously picked up the cutting board hanging on the hook and used a knife to cut the tomatoes into small pieces.

Put lard in the pot, and then pour in the beaten egg mixture.

The egg mixture sizzles as it touches the hot oil, quickly turning into an egg pancake.

Cut the egg pancake into small pieces with a spatula, and using the oil in the pan, pour in the tomatoes and stir-fry.

Bright red juice immediately seeped out, and the tomatoes became soft and mushy.

Ye Jingmo scooped a spoonful of water into the pot, waited for the water to boil, and then poured the dumplings from the bowl into it.

Jiang Li added two spoonfuls of sugar and a spoonful of salt for simple seasoning; she didn't add any ketchup.

The sweet and sour dumpling soup is ready.

Jiang Li took a deep breath through her nose, and saliva involuntarily welled up in her mouth.

I scooped out two bowls with a spoon, and there was still about one bowl left in the pot.

Jiang Li poked her head out from the kitchen. "Pudding, bring your bowl over here."

Upon hearing the summons, Pudding immediately grabbed its bowl and ran to sit down in front of Jiang Li with a clatter.

Jiang Li took the bowl of pudding and poured the remaining lumps from the pot into it.

She also added water to prevent it from being too salty.

Jiang Li carried the dog bowl to the dining table and added some more dog food.

"You can eat it after it cools down."

Jiang Li touched the dog bowl; it was still a little hot.

Upon hearing this, Pudding lay down beside the dog bowl, its eyes fixed on Jiang Li, waiting for her to give the order.

About ten minutes later, Jiang Li touched the dog bowl and found that the temperature had gone down.

"Eat."

At Jiang Li's command, Pudding immediately buried her face in the bowl.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo sat back down and began to enjoy their breakfast.

The dumplings are coated with tomato juice, giving them a sweet and sour taste on the tongue, and the chewy texture of the dumplings is pleasant to the touch.

After finishing a bowl of dumpling soup, Jiang Li felt a slight sweat on her body and felt completely refreshed.

They rested for a few minutes, and then there was a knock at the front door.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo arrived at the front gate with umbrellas in hand.

In the past, people might not have bothered to use an umbrella when it was drizzling like this.

However, to prevent catching a cold, Jiang Li still felt it was best to be cautious.

Who knows if a person's immunity is lowered after catching a cold, and if they get infected with an infectious disease?

Upon opening the door, one is greeted by medical staff wearing masks and completely covered up.

For some reason, Jiang Li felt that she looked somewhat familiar.

She blinked and met Jiang Li's gaze. "Sister Jiang Li, don't you recognize me?"

"Qin Yue? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Li recognized Qin Yue immediately upon hearing the familiar voice, and she was shocked.

"Sister Jiang Li, didn't you see the notification on your watches?"

The points system has officially launched, and we can use points to redeem corresponding items.

At the same time, the authorities also recruited personnel, such as mosquito-catching teams, corpse-carrying teams, and temperature-measuring teams.

I signed up for the temperature screening team as soon as I saw it. I have a medical background, so I was hired immediately. I can get five points a day.

Now, the main task is to conduct daily temperature checks; this area is under my jurisdiction.

My brother wants to apply for a job with the mosquito-catching team. Even though he only has three points, it's better than nothing.

Qin Yue and Qin Yu felt that simply living off the land was not a solution, as they lacked a stable source of drinking water.

After staying home for several days without going out, the bottled water supply is running low.

The points policy was proposed so that Qin Yu could earn points to exchange for water, allowing Qin Yue to stay at home.

But Qin Yue absolutely refused, saying that if they were going to work, they should go together.

She had far more knowledge about disease prevention than Qin Yu.

They were recruiting daily temperature checkers, so Qin Yue signed up; the points required were quite high.

Qin Yue thought it was probably because the authorities restricted those with medical backgrounds, and also because temperature checkers might come into contact with patients with infectious diseases, which posed a high risk.

Qin Yu said that there were many applicants for the mosquito-catching team, and the line was almost ten meters long.

The authorities were worried about too many people gathering, so they sent information directly to the watches for screening. Otherwise, the queue would have taken at least five hours to shrink.

Not to mention the increasing number of people who came after hearing the news.

"what?"

Completely bewildered, Jiang Li quickly looked at her watch, which indeed displayed a new notification.

They actually missed such important information.

Jiang Li turned to look at Ye Jingmo, "Brother Mo, didn't you notice this notice either?"

Ye Jingmo said calmly, "I saw it, but it doesn't mean much to us."

We're currently quarantined at home and can't go anywhere. How can we earn points?

Jiang Li was taken aback. That's right, they can't go anywhere right now.

"By the way, Sister Jiang Li, I have a message for you."

You don't need to quarantine anymore, but you still need to be home for temperature checks.

Qin Yue dropped a bombshell, startling Jiang Li so much that his eyes widened.

So we don't need to quarantine anymore?

"According to official research, the incubation period of the disease is 1-3 days. If you have no symptoms today, you can go out."

However, it's best to avoid crowded places and take precautions when going out to prevent infection.

Qin Yue explained.

"Okay. Qin Yue, please take good care of yourself."

Jiang Li nodded gratefully to Qin Yue.

Seeing that the two had finished talking, the soldier next to them stepped forward and handed three cardboard boxes to Jiang Li.

"This is a plant growth light, please keep it safe."

Jiang Li took the three cardboard boxes, a silly grin spreading across her face, her eyes sparkling like stars.

She thought she would only be able to exchange for two plant growth lights at most, but she didn't expect to get one more than she anticipated.

"Thank you."

This is a young soldier, who looks to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a youthful appearance still visible on his face.

Upon hearing Jiang Li's thanks, the young soldier scratched his head sheepishly and quickly said, "You're welcome, it's my pleasure."

Jiang Li noticed that neither of them had an umbrella, and the rain had soaked their hair.

She took two large umbrellas from behind the door, stuffed one into his hand, and handed the other to Qin Yue.

"There's not much at home, so take these two umbrellas with you now that it's raining, so you don't catch a cold."

The soldier instinctively wanted to refuse, but Jiang Li closed the door before he could.

Looking at the tightly closed gate, Qin Yue and the soldier exchanged bewildered glances.

Finally, Qin Yue opened her mouth and said:

"Since it's Sister Jiang Li's good intention, we can't let her down."

We'll return the umbrellas after the rain stops.

The soldier accepted the offer, and the two went to the next place for a temperature check.
