At the end of the natural disaster, I have a capsule house

Chapter 18 Everyone in the building is on holiday

"How about we drink Pu'er today? It's most pleasant to drink tea at home in this weather."

Grandma Qiao couldn't wait to tell Su Keke as soon as she opened the door.

"I can do it!"

Su Ke laughed. She really didn't know much about tea, so she would feel the same no matter what kind of tea she drank.

"You kid, I asked you to come drink tea with me, why do you still bring so many things!"

"Your Grandma Qiao's house has everything. Don't think that you young people are the only ones who like to eat snacks. Old people like me also like to eat snacks!"

The big bag that Su Keke brought over contained self-heating rice, croissants, instant noodles, biscuits, strawberries, apples, bagged chicken feet, chicken legs, duck tongues, etc.

In short, there were many kinds of things, as if she and Grandma Qiao were going out for an outing.

"I went to the supermarket in the morning. There was a discount in the supermarket during the typhoon. I couldn't help myself and bought too much. Grandma Qiao! In fact, I only brought a little bit. I have a lot more at home!"

Su Keke put down her things, took Grandma Qiao's arm and said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay! You kid, you always have so many weird reasons to send things to me."

Grandma Qiao smiled happily and pulled Su Keke into the living room.

A brown tea tray had already been placed on the coffee table, and a glass teapot was boiling water on the electric ceramic stove nearby.

On the jasper-colored porcelain plate, several egg yolk cakes were placed neatly in the middle, and two ceramic teacups with orchid patterns were placed on both sides of the coffee table.

"Sit down quickly!" Grandma Qiao asked Su Keke to sit across from her, and she started working as soon as she sat down.

First, pour the newly boiled water from the glass teapot into the tureen in front of you.

Then cover the lid, shake the tureen in your hand gently, and then pour out the water inside.

"Grandma Qiao, are you washing the cups?" Su Keke, a tea ceremony layman, asked curiously.

"Haha! That's right!"

Grandma Qiao talked to Su Keke with a smile. She continued to use a teaspoon to put a small piece of dry tea into the tureen, and poured in the boiling water.

After waiting for a while, Grandma Qiao poured all the tea soup in the tureen into a fair glass cup.

Finally, he used this fair cup to pour tea into the teacup in front of Su Keke.

"Coco! If you are hungry, eat a piece of egg yolk cake first and then drink tea! Try not to drink Pu'er on an empty stomach!" Grandma Qiao reminded.

"Aren't you hungry?" Su Keke waved her hands quickly.

"Then let's have a drink first! Drink more Pu'er to beautify your skin!"

Looking at Su Keke opposite, Grandma Qiao seemed to see herself when she was young, youthful and enthusiastic!

She has lived alone for more than thirty years since her divorce.

Occasionally, I would go out to eat and drink tea with friends. For young people like Su Keke, except for the customers who came to the store, there really were no people who got along as friends in life.

Recently, she always felt that Su Keke was like a relative of her previous life, and she felt particularly close to her.

"Grandma Qiao! Come and eat some duck tongue! This is delicious!"

"You eat first! I'm going to get some cashews and pistachios. They go better with tea and nuts!"

The two of them were just leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks in the living room, watching the heavy rain outside the window getting heavier and heavier.

……

At 4: in the evening, Meng Yi and Shi Huan, who work at a car S shop, finally received a typhoon holiday notice.

As a service industry, there will never be a holiday unless the sky comes down.

Even on New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month, there are people on duty in the store.

"In this typhoon weather, who would come to a car 4S store without any trouble? I guess there are only a few people in the supermarket."

"The store has to be open even if no one is around. Anyway, leaders don't have to clock in and go to work every day."

"Alas! We workers at the bottom have the hardest time. We come and go through wind and rain, and we still can't make much money!"

In the sales hall, several salesmen were talking boredly.

"The logistics and finance staff in the office on the second floor have been on holiday since noon, and we actually have to wait until six o'clock in the evening. Alas! It's really unfair!"

"With this damn weather, do you think there will be people willing to risk their lives to buy a car? Why don't we get off work early and save some electricity for the company!"

"Okay! Stop complaining. It's almost six o'clock. Hurry up and change your clothes and get off work!"

Shi Huan smiled and pointed to his watch. The time was already 5:48.

She herself quickly cleared the desk at the front desk and planned to go to the locker room to change clothes before getting off work.

Meng Yi had changed his clothes long ago and was now sitting on the sofa in the exhibition hall, waiting until it was time to clock out.

"Let's go to the supermarket to buy some food later! There is nothing left at home except instant noodles and a few cucumbers," Shi Huan said.

"I'm going to buy something. I think this typhoon is different from before. I guess I'll have to take a few days off! We can't treat ourselves to some delicious treats while staying at home!"

"For example, buy some beer and some snacks!"

"You know what to eat with the wine!" Shi Huan patted Meng Yi on the shoulder with the work badge in his hand, "Hurry up and clock in, it's time to get off work!"

As soon as the two of them came out of the company's underground garage, heavy rain hit the car glass. Meng Yi turned the steering wheel and thought about what snacks to buy later.

"I think we need to stock up on practical things, such as instant noodles, mineral water, bread, etc. If there is heavy wind and rain tonight, there may be power and water outages at any time!"

Shi Huan looked at the pouring rain outside the car in the passenger seat, thought for a while and said.

"It's not that exaggerated! The typhoon the year before last was not that big, and the power was only out for a day. Don't be so nervous!"

Meng Yi didn't take the typhoon seriously at all, but he was still very happy to have a few days of paid leave.

There are quite a few people like them going to the supermarket in the heavy rain right now.

Various rain gears were placed at the entrance of the supermarket, and there were wet footprints everywhere on the ground.

The cleaning lady looked at these people rushing into the supermarket from outside and shook her head. She had just mopped the ground, why was it so dirty again?

If the on-site manager saw it, he would have to tell her!

"Dear customers, please note that due to the typhoon, our supermarket will close at 8pm! Customers who need to shop, please do so as soon as possible!"

Meng Yi and Shi Huan heard this looping proofing sound as soon as they entered the supermarket.

"Fortunately, we got off work early. If it were 9 o'clock in the evening, we wouldn't even be able to buy food!"

Shi Huan pulled Meng Yi, and the two of them pushed the shopping cart together and said happily.

"Go buy groceries first! Then buy instant noodles and mineral water!" Shi Huan said.

"Okay! My wife has the final say!" Meng Yi smiled playfully, pushing the shopping cart towards the fresh food section of the supermarket.

This area is the most crowded, and there is a long queue of people in front of the weighing counter.

Each of them was carrying fresh vegetables that they had just purchased. They were probably all people who had just come off work and came to buy vegetables in a hurry.

……

In 2003, Chen Da and Lu Mei opened their own stores. Today, when there was such a storm, they didn't open a store at all. That's the good thing about being their own bosses.

At noon, the two of them went to the supermarket to purchase a large amount of rice, flour, grains, oils, mineral water and instant noodles.

Apart from Su Keke, the two couples on the 20th floor who are most hoarding conscious. As long as there is a slight disturbance outside, they will immediately go to the supermarket to stock up on supplies.

They are not afraid of hoarding too much, but they are afraid of not having enough. It is said that it was because Lu Mei was trapped at home and hungry for two days due to extreme weather when she was a child.

In the last life, it was precisely because of this personality that he liked to hoard things that his family was able to survive in the apocalypse.

Now their family of three is sitting together having dinner warmly.

"Mom! When did Su Ke, the person next door to us, move here?"

My son Chen Li asked casually while chewing on a big chicken drumstick.

"Ah? Why do you ask this? Are you interested in this girl?"

When Lu Mei saw her son asking about Su Keke, her gossiping mind started to get active.

"Don't talk nonsense! I just asked you if you met someone when I went home in the afternoon!" Chen Li was a little nervous and hurriedly buried himself in his food.

"Hey! Lao Chen! Look at your son, he is always shy. Who are you following?" Lu Mei asked with a smile.

"I really don't know this. Neither of us are reserved people!"

"Dad! Mom! What are you two talking about!"
