Chapter 23: Change
The central city of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, Hangzhou.
"Mom, where did you go again in the afternoon?"
Huang Zhenmei, who was swiping her mobile phone, looked up at Wang Haimei who opened the door and came in.
"You damn girl, stop playing, come over and help carry things."
Wang Haimei was sweating profusely, laboriously pushing a large bag of things inside.
Huang Zhenmei threw away her phone and hurriedly jumped up from the sofa, "Mom, what is this?" ”
"What else could there be? Rice, noodles, soy sauce, vinegar and salt. ”
Wang Haimei said angrily: "I'm really tired, don't you know, the things in the small supermarket below have been snapped up, and nothing is left, so I had to go to Walmart to buy it...... There were really so many people, I've never seen so many people in line. ”
"Mom, you're disobedient, didn't I say don't go to so crowded places? How dangerous it is now. ”
Huang Zhenmei was extremely annoyed.
"Rest assured, there are armed police on duty at the scene, and the order is very good."
Wang Haimei didn't care, "Your dad parked the car, there are still a lot of things in the trunk, you dead girl, don't play with your phone, go down with me to get things." ”
As Wang Haimei said, this time, they lined up for an afternoon, and did buy quite a lot of things, and the three of them went back and forth in the underground parking lot of the community and the 9th floor, and it took more than half an hour to move all the things.
No way, there are quite a lot of people in the underground parking lot, many like Huang Zhenmei's family, only to purchase supplies from the outside back of the family, is also moving things to the house, a building is so two elevators, this family occupies the elevator use, others have to wait slowly, basically this waste of time is consumed in waiting for the elevator.
Huang Zhenmei even saw several families, and Zhenzhen said that it was safer in the underground parking lot, so she even parked her car on the street outside the community and set up a tent in her parking space.
Huang Zhenzhong wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The square where I just came back has a lot of people, and it is said that they are all from Donghai City." ”
Huang Zhenmei browsed the news and friend groups for an afternoon, and knew a lot about it, "Dad, there are fewer people here, and there are more people in Yangzhou and Huzhou." ”
"Hey, I don't know if we're safe here."
Huang Zhenzhong took a sip of water and sat down, sighing.
There is no way to go, now the highway and provincial highways are strictly guarded, unless there is a special pass, it is not allowed to go, as for the high-speed rail, it is also used to resettle the population of Donghai City, it is impossible for ordinary people to use.
Otherwise, I am afraid that many people from the surrounding cities will flee to the mainland.
"Dad, what are you worried about? We can't do anything anyway. ”
Huang Zhenmei is not worried at all, she has an optimistic personality and does not like to consider the situation that has not happened: "And this situation will not last long, if there is no problem, the government will definitely restore traffic soon, otherwise how will the economy work?" ”
Modern society is not ancient, especially a large country with a population of nearly 1.4 billion, and the termination of transportation operations and the suspension of various economic production activities is unsustainable and a disaster for a large country.
Let alone...... Huang Zhenmei thought unceremoniously, as an ordinary person, she can feel that if there is really a catastrophe, human beings may not be able to do anything, after all, this is not an American blockbuster, and no protagonist will save mankind at a critical moment. In this case, if you can't change anything, you can continue to live as you want.
Huang Zhenzhong was depressed, but he was not full of confidence in what his daughter said.
"Hey, that's enough rice for us to eat for two months."
Wang Haimei walked out of the kitchen, "It's a pity that the supermarket has limited purchases, so you can't buy too much rice." ”
"Mom, how can it be so exaggerated? So many meters are enough. ”
Huang Zhenmei said dissatisfiedly: "Do you really want to buy so much salt like back then, and you didn't eat it until last year?" ”
"What do you damn girl know? Can this be compared to the past? ”
Wang Haimei chattered: "You don't make the decisions of the house, don't worry about eating and drinking, what do you know?" All you know is eating, drinking, and having fun, and holding your phone......"
Every mother, probably the favorite is to nag about their children, usually nagging about work, nagging about getting married and having children during the New Year, Huang Zhenmei is most afraid that her mother will be nagging non-stop, so she quickly evacuated and ran back to her bedroom.
There are nearly 100 people in a large group of the company, and everyone is posting various news links, as well as photos taken by themselves at the window, which allows Huang Zhenmei to have a general understanding of the situation in Hangzhou without leaving home.
There is also a small group of more than ten people in her department, and Huang Zhenmei has not clicked on it for more than half an hour, and she has left a lot of unread information.
Click on it and see that everyone is discussing...... How many supplies were purchased.
Huang Zhenmei was stunned to find that she was the only one who dared to love herself, didn't she think it was nothing? The colleagues in the department are tired and sweating profusely, and some are at the address where to purchase, where not closed, and where to go as soon as possible, otherwise the queue will be long and long.
Some have already brought their coats and down jackets, ready to queue up all night to buy food.
"It's not okay to buy it without queuing, my daughter-in-law said, don't go home if you don't come back with two bags of rice."
"I'm going to buy it too, and now my mother-in-law's family has moved to my house, and the rice in the rice jar is not enough to eat for a week...... Who knows how long this will last. ”
"You all remember to buy rice and noodles, so no one remembers to buy some meat?"
"Who wouldn't want to buy it? The vegetable market is not good for anyone! ”
"The meat section of the supermarket was also looted."
"That, my family seems to have bought twenty catties of beef and frozen......"
“……”
There was silence in the group, and then someone yelled: "Report your address to me." ”
"Fortunately, my rice jar is full, there are many unopened soy sauce and vinegar, the meat is enough, the dishes in the refrigerator are no problem to eat for three days, and although the fruit shop downstairs in my house is closed, I know the owner and bought twenty catties of rock sugar oranges, apples and strawberries."
“……”
"Whoever has his address, I want to kill him."
The general direction is still the same, which is to stock up on as much food and water as possible, because no one knows when the water will be cut off or they won't be able to buy food, just in case it has to be done.
"Do you buy medicine? I went to the pharmacy and bought a lot of emergency medicines. ”
"Yes, yes, there is still medicine, everyone buy it as much as possible."
"There's no way around it now, the nearby pharmacies are closed."
"You remember to charge the power bank, it won't be good if the power goes out."
"By the way, buy some self-heating food as much as possible, and you are not afraid of power and gas outages."
Huang Zhenmei was dumbfounded when she looked at the discussion in the group, she didn't expect so much at all.
Oh no, she actually got one.
The power bank must be fully charged.
