023 Man is not for himself

In the villa where there was only a little candle light, Qing Xiran was shocked, and she didn't know who would come to her house at this time.

She wrapped Qing one by one in the quilt, got up from the sofa, put on her shoes at the entrance, took out her grandfather's folding knife from her pocket, opened some doors slightly, and looked at the iron door outside the courtyard.

It was the old couple next door.

The two old men were embarrassed, their gray hair was raised slightly in the cold night, and the two old men were supporting each other, and they were still reaching out to press the iron doorbell of the courtyard of Qing Xiran's house.

She walked out, stood inside the iron door and asked:

"Grandpa Hu, Grandma Hu, what's wrong?"

"Xiran, do you have water to drink at home?"

Grandma Hu helped Grandpa Hu, and when she looked closer, the faces of the two old men were blue and swollen, and there were many footprints on the clothes on their bodies.

I only heard Grandpa Hu say helplessly:

"Our family has no water, not even to drink, today our old couple went to the supermarket in the southern district to buy water, there was a robbery, not only no mineral water to sell, even fruits, drinks, alcohol is gone......

"Yes, Xiran, do you have any water at home? Can you lend us a bucket? ”

Grandma Hu is very anxious, her lips and throat are dry now, a few days ago she happened to see Qing Xiran buy a few buckets of mineral water to go home, such a few buckets, Qing Xiran and Qing one or two people, they must not have finished drinking.

"I have some ...... at home. Do you want some tap water? Once boiled, you can drink it. ”

Qing Xiran told a lie, she noticed that the grandparents of the Hu family were talking about a bucket, which was measured according to the barrel of mineral water, not a little, some.

explained that her family had stockpiled mineral water, and the grandparents next door already knew about it.

It stands to reason that when the neighbor is in trouble and asks for help from her door, she can help what she should help, not to mention that the other party is also old.

And she also stocked up on a lot of mineral water.

But to be honest, now the mineral water in the entire Xiangcheng has become a sought-after material, and the hearts of the people are separated from the belly, and she and the two old people next door are not very close on weekdays.

In today's society, there are many people who are neighbors, but they don't know each other very well at all.

And Qing Xiran took out a bucket of water to others, and others would ask her for a second bucket, and she "lent" a bucket of mineral water to the grandparents of the Hu family, which she didn't have to pay back.

Qing Xiran still has Qing Yi to raise one by one, she can't be this good person.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone was a neighbor, in fact, Qingxiran wouldn't even want to borrow tap water.

The grandparents of the Hu family were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect Qing Xiran to only "borrow" tap water for them, and immediately, Grandma Hu, who saw her, stepped forward and said with a smile on her face:

"However, if you drink tap water, you will have a stomachache......"

"It's good to find a way to boil, I only have tap water in my house."

Qing Xiran interrupted Grandma Hu's words, she was sure and sure that the two old men of the Hu family were hinting to her to "borrow" a bucket of mineral water to them.

It's not that Qing Xiran wants to harm the two old men of the Hu family, but in Qing Xiran's concept, if the mineral water is drunk, she and Qing Yiyi will also drink tap water, and if the tap water is boiled, it is not impossible to drink, if people really come to a desperate situation, to be honest, urine can be drunk.

So Qing Xiran made her attitude clear, she only had tap water, and she found a way to go home and boil it for herself, but there was no mineral water.

If you don't want tap water, you won't have to drink it.

"Well, thank you for that, Xiran."

Grandpa Hu, who had a blue nose and swollen face, reached out and grabbed Grandma Hu, who was still talking, he was really thirsty, it didn't matter if he had mineral water or not, it was okay to get some tap water to drink first.

"You're welcome."

Qing Xiran pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, went home and took the kind of drink bottle that Qing drank apple cider vinegar one by one, which was about 1.5L, and handed it over to the Hu family's grandparents directly.

Looking at such a large bottle, Grandpa Hu and Grandma Hu's faces had a feeling that was not very refreshing, but they still reached out and took Qing Xiran's bottle.

What? Qing Xiran gave 1.5L of tap water? Didn't you say that you had a bucket?

Grandma Hu couldn't help it, so she frowned and asked:

"Xiran, didn't I see that your family bought several barrels of mineral water before, and they have all been drunk?"

"Qing Yiyi has to take a bath every day, no way, if we knew that the mineral water was not sold now, we wouldn't have taken a bath."

Qing Xiran smiled helplessly at Grandpa Hu and Grandma Hu:

"I'm going to go to the ancient well over there tomorrow to fetch water, Grandpa Hu and grandma will also go together, I think the water quality is going to get worse and worse, and the water from the well is cleaner than the water in the artificial lake in our community."

"Hey, you see the world is all the rage."

Grandpa Hu sighed, didn't say to go, didn't say not to go, and after pouring thanks to Qing Xiran, he took the 1.5L tap water and left.

When she turned around, Grandma Hu's feet kicked the ground hard, and as soon as she entered the yard of her house, she said angrily:

"She must have mineral water at home, she is so stingy and doesn't lend us water, it's too bad, this person is really bad."

"Be quiet."

Grandpa Hu shook his head, they didn't expect everyone to be neighbors, although there was not much communication on weekdays, but Qing Xiran did this too ruthlessly, and it was impossible to talk about it in interpersonal terms.

It's just a bucket of mineral water, and it's not worth a few dollars.

"Why be quiet? I'm going to be louder and let her know how wrong I am. ”

In the dark, Grandma Hu was trembling with anger, she obviously saw that Qing Xiran bought several large barrels of mineral water a few days ago, and also filled the swimming pool at home with tap water.

Can't you bathe with tap water?

Grandma Hu trembled with anger.

And next door to their house, Qing Xiran stood in the dark for a while, and couldn't hear clearly what Grandpa Hu and Grandma Hu were talking about, but she knew that these two old men were very angry with what she did today.

But what can she do? If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.

She smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that what she had done today was indeed wrong.

should not even give tap water, either not ruthless, or ruthless to the end, as now, give water out, and ask for a meal, is this considered a loss of Mrs. and a soldier?

As he was reflecting on himself, Qing Xiran's mobile phone on the coffee table rang.

She hurriedly went back to the house, hugged her daughter to keep warm, reached out and took the phone, and saw that it was a text message from Xu You.

[Xuyou: How is your current situation there?] 】

[Qing Xiran: It's not good, the water is out, the power is out, the people in the property are all beaten, the owners and the owners are also making trouble, there are quarrels everywhere, and there are contradictions everywhere. 】

[Xuyou: You didn't go up and cut twice? 】

These words were sent with a hint of ridicule.
