On the first day of July, a ray of morning light shone in Xiangcheng. The domineering Zhu Rong finally retreated. Citizens throughout the south who had been tortured by rain for more than two months went outdoors to bathe in the long-lost sunshine.
"Yuanyuan, Linlin, have you gotten up? Zhu Rong is finally gone!" He Yuehua got up early in the morning. When she opened the window and saw the clear sky, she felt unbelievable and immediately asked through the intercom.
"You got up so early, I'm still in bed." Chen Yuanyuan opened her eyes forcefully and opened the curtains on the bedside. The long-lost sunlight was particularly dazzling.
The material of this curtain is so solid that no light can penetrate at all.
"I'm getting up too, shall we go out?" Zhang Linlin had been holding back in Unit 2 for two months and was finally able to step out of the house.
"You don't have to take care of the baby anymore?" He Yuehua asked.
"I'll ask you to go to the eleventh floor later. Tangtang has been quite sticky with Mrs. Mo recently," Zhang Linlin said.
In recent days, Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo also took time to play with Tangtang in the corridor on the twelfth floor every day. Zhang Linlin had a lot of free time and often went to Chen Yuanyuan's house to learn self-defense and plant crops at home.
"Can we go out in fifteen minutes?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"no problem!"
"I can do it!"
It was a rare good weather, and even though there were garbage and debris on the road, even Grandma He wanted to go out for a walk, so this time Liu Feiyang was left alone to guard the house.
"It's a good idea that Liu Feiyang won't go. Please go to the stairwell to install an iron gate." Chen Yuanyuan turned around and placed a set of stainless steel gates, electric rods and other installation tools at the entrance of her home.
After Liu Feiyang followed him out, he helped lift the gate out.
"Now that I have a tool, I'd better use my own ease." Liu Feiyang said with a smile.
"It's good to install the gate. It will be much safer to sleep like this!" Grandma He has been having trouble sleeping since she last witnessed Cheng Yun and his group trying to rob.
"Yuanyuan, do you have any stainless steel welding rods? I'll just weld the door tightly to the stairwell." Although Liu Feiyang had all the tools, he still lacked the materials.
"I didn't buy it. Where can I buy it?" Although Chen Yuanyuan had no shortage of tools, she didn't know much about these materials. There were only some very thin welding rods in the space.
"You should be able to buy it at a hardware store or a car repair shop. Let me install it first. If I find it, I will weld the door tightly." Liu Feiyang said.
"Okay, let's pay attention when we get there." After Chen Yuanyuan said that, the four women on the twelfth floor set off for a walk outside.
The supermarket had basically been cleared out last time, so Chen Yuanyuan and his party decided to try their luck at the grain and oil store in the market.
As soon as we arrived at the market, although most of the shops were closed, those that were open were crowded with people.
"Rice and noodles are being unloaded! Each person is limited to two kilograms of rice and one kilogram of noodles. Those who don't buy rice and noodles can buy five kilograms of whole grains. Only cash is accepted. Please exclude them one by one and don't grab them!" The proprietress of the grain and oil store held a loudspeaker and walked along the queue in the store. shouted.
"For such a big store like yours, you must have a lot of secrets!" A sharp and mean voice yelled the truth.
As soon as Chen Yuanyuan took a look, she recognized Aunt Lu from Building 5 who had bought a green onion from the supermarket earlier, so she and her group went to the end of the queue to eat some melon.
"Auntie, our store has sold out all the goods last month. The goods we can get today are brought in by the government. The quantity is only so much. If you keep arguing, don't buy it." The proprietress of the grain and oil store scolded.
"Tsk, just wait in line." Seeing that she couldn't take any advantage, Aunt Lu jumped back into the queue.
"Hey, don't you know how to queue? Go to the end of the queue." Aunt Wang knocked Aunt Lu back a few steps with one hand.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Lu casually jumped in line and cut in front of Aunt Wang, who was kept at a distance by everyone in Building 2.
"I was queuing here just now. Who are you bumping into, old wall lamp?" Aunt Lu usually likes to have her hair permed. Although she was very sloppy after the water and power outages, Aunt Wang felt sincerely when she saw her hair was like a bird's nest. She is poor and old.
"You jumped in line first, otherwise you ask who can prove that you just stood in line?" Aunt Wang said unreasonably.
"Girl, tell her if I was the one behind you." Aunt Lu held a female student wearing glasses with one hand.
"I don't know." The female student was afraid of causing trouble, but she didn't pay attention to the person behind her.
"Look, no one can prove it to you, go back and queue up!" Aunt Wang said, and she saw Wang Dazhuang, who had just gone to relieve himself, come back.
"Son, come here and line up." Aunt Wang waved to Wang Dazhuang to jump in line in front of her.
"Auntie, don't go too far. You cut in line just now. I didn't say anything when I saw your age. Now you call your son over? Please go to the back and queue up." Queue behind Aunt Wang. When the man in the tattooed vest saw the team starting to move, he walked around Aunt Wang and moved forward.
Aunt Wang was about to argue with the tattooed man when she was pulled back by Aunt Lu.
"Get in line, cultural people!" Aunt Lu mocked.
"What are you doing, you're doing this with your hands and feet! Bah!" Aunt Wang shook Aunt Lu's hand away and spat thick phlegm on her.
"Ah, eighth wife! Be careful, no one will die, you won't be able to eat four dishes in this life!" Aunt Lu was so angry that she pointed at Aunt Wang and cursed.
"You cursed my son! I will fight you tooth and nail!" Aunt Wang was eager to protect her son and immediately stepped forward to grab Aunt Lu's hair.
Aunt Lu was not a light-hearted person. She was stronger than Aunt Wang. She immediately pressed Aunt Wang and stabbed her in the eyeball.
The two of them struggled together. Wang Dazhuang, who was standing by, saw that his mother was in a disadvantageous position and immediately stepped forward to pull Aunt Lu away. Unexpectedly, Aunt Lu used a monkey trick to steal the peach and grabbed Lu Dazhuang's quail egg with one hand, causing him to roll on the ground in pain. .
When Aunt Wang saw that her son was injured, she immediately bit her like a plate of chicken blood at Aunt Lu, and the fight became inextricable.
"We're almost here, do we want rice, noodles or cereals?" Grandma He reminded her hurriedly when she saw the three young people looking at them without blinking.
"I want some cereals. I have a higher personality." There was no shortage of rice, noodles and cereals in Chen Yuanyuan's space. After thinking about it, it was more cost-effective to buy more.
"When middle-aged and elderly people fight, their moves are really accurate." Zhang Linlin said with emotion as she saw the two aunts blushing.
"So you have to train hard, otherwise you won't even be able to beat Auntie." Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"Grandma, if you encounter someone like them, can you beat them?" He Yuehua asked curiously.
"You will get hurt a little bit, but it's easy to subdue their unskilled fights." Although Grandma He is old, she has learned kung fu in the Civil Security Corps when she was young.
Yea! The sound of a whistle immediately silenced the entire market, and a police officer rushed to the side of the two aunts.
"Are you making trouble?" The police officer's serious attitude frightened the two aunts and immediately let go of their hands.
"I didn't, she did it first!" Aunt Wang said.
"Obviously she was the one who jumped in line first, but she still hit me one by one!" Aunt Lu yelled.
"Why don't you go to the police station with me to talk? We just happened to catch ten murderers today." The police officer saw that the two of them were very angry and it was nothing serious, so they tried to scare the three of them.
Now the detention center is overcrowded, the murderers are running out of pretense, and there are no offices to deal with trivial matters.
But it still had a deterrent effect on the three of them, and this first confrontation between Crouching Dragon and Phoenix ended with the whispers of others.
