The old man on the twelfth floor is called Zhao Zhong and he is a carpenter.

There's no such thing as craft work.

Neighborhood, he also helped others a lot.

It has been raining heavily outside recently.

He built a small wooden boat at home.

It can vaguely accommodate three people. Plus some supplies.

It is precisely because of this small wooden boat that the old man has no worries about food for the time being.

These days he has tinkered with some other gadgets.

Perhaps because of his age, he seldom goes out and his only hobby is carpentry.

The home is filled with all kinds of wooden knick-knacks.

That day he was using a plane to smooth a piece of wood at home.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Zhao Zhong's son and daughter are abroad, and his wife also passed away a month ago due to lack of timely treatment for a heart attack, so he lives alone during this period.

No one bothered him.

Someone suddenly knocked on the door today, which surprised Zhao Zhong.

He put the plane aside, took off his clothes stained with sawdust, stood up and opened the door.

"Oh, it's Xiao Sun. What's wrong?"

The old man knew Sun Hongyu. He had met and chatted with her several times outside the community or on the elevator.

"Grandpa Zhao, can I come in?" This time Sun Hongyu came by herself.

There was also a bag of tea in his hand.

These were given to Sun Hongyu by a boss at her previous workplace.

She used to be a massage technician in a bath center, and many bosses liked her.

There was a small owner of a tea business who often ordered her and would give her goodies from time to time.

Among them, she was given a lot of fine tea.

It's a pity that she doesn't know how to drink and is not used to it, but she is not stupid and knows that this tea is expensive.

Although I can’t drink it myself, I can give it to others.

Definitely take it.

So she stocked a lot of tea at home.

This time I came out to ask for help, and it came in handy.

The ones I gave to the fat man before were considered the worst, but they were still only a few hundred yuan a tael.

But this time what she gave to the old man was a Dahongpao worth thousands of yuan per tael.

Of course, she didn't know the exact amount, but she just heard what the boss said.

All in all, it’s pretty impressive.

"Okay, come in." The old man invited Sun Hongyu in with a smile.

After Sun Hongyu sat down, the old man said apologetically and handed over a glass of water, "I'm sorry, girl, I don't have the juice drinks you young people like to drink at home. I just have boiled water. You can just drink it."

Plain water?

For now, this is good stuff.

Sun Hongyu took it with a smile, but she didn't show any urgency. Instead, she drank it in small sips.

"Grandpa Zhao, are you busy?" Sun Hongyu did not talk about business directly, but started chatting with the old man.

The old man smiled and nodded, "Well, I don't have anything to do when I'm alone, so I just tinker with some gadgets to pass the time."

After Sun Hongyu quickly drank a glass of water, she got up and walked around the room.

She also liked the exquisite little objects placed in the room.

But that's not the purpose of her visit.

So Sun Hongyu walked inside.

In the second bedroom she saw a wooden boat, which was the purpose of her visit.

"Grandpa Zhao, these handicrafts of yours are so beautiful. Can you give me one?"

"Of course. You can choose whatever you like. I made these gadgets casually, and they will only eat dust if I put them here. Why not give them to someone who likes them." Zhao Zhong agreed without any hesitation.

In the past, he often gave the gadgets he made to some children in the community.

Seeing how they liked it, the old man was also very happy.

Sun Hongyu casually picked up a wooden carved puppy. The puppy was carved by the old man so lifelike that it seemed to be alive.

Although this was not her purpose, she did like it.

"Then I'll choose this."

"Yeah, sure." Zhao Zhong smiled and nodded.

Afterwards, Sun Hongyu chatted with the old man some more about domestic matters. Seeing that the atmosphere was about the same, she said: "Grandpa Zhao, actually I think you can see that. I came to you this time because I want to ask you something."

With that said, she put the tea leaves in her hand on the coffee table.

Zhao Zhong also likes to drink some tea.

So it is natural to see how valuable this tea is.

He was about to refuse, but was stopped by Sun Hongyu.

She just heard her say: "Grandpa Zhao, you must accept it, because what I am asking you for this time is a big deal. So this small gift is actually not expensive."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhong withdrew his hand and muttered: "Girl, if I'm not mistaken, you want to borrow the boat."

Everyone is not stupid.

I can come to him, an old man, for help at this time.

And gave away such expensive tea.

It was simply because he had a boat.

Sun Hongyu nodded sheepishly, "That's it, Grandpa Zhao. We don't have anything to eat at home. Now that it's raining less outside, we just want to go out and look for something to eat."

"At least let us survive this period of time. But there is water outside, and it will be difficult for us to get out if we don't have transportation. That's why I thought of you."

As she said that, Sun Hongyu looked at the old man expectantly, "I wonder if you, Grandpa Zhao, can lend us the boat. Don't worry, we will return it to you intact after we use it."

Zhao Zhong smiled when he heard this. He stretched out his hand and stroked his beard and said: "It's just a boat. If you want to use it, just use it. It's not easy at this time. Who doesn't want to live well."

Sun Hongyu's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she said with a choked voice: "Grandpa Zhao, thank you. Thank you so much. When we find the food, we will give you some as a reward for lending us the food."

Zhao Zhong smiled and waved his hand.

I didn’t care about the food or not.

After his wife died, he didn't have much hope for living.

In his opinion, if you can live one day, you will be dead if you die.

If she died early, she might be able to go down and catch up with her husband, and the two of them would walk on the road to hell together.

The boat matter is settled.

Sun Hongyu went down and called Yuan Hong and Zheng Huitang, and together they carried the boat to the ninth floor.

"Now we just discuss countermeasures."

After getting the boat, Sun Hongyu, Jing Xiaoyu, Yuan Hong, Zheng Huitang, Long Yucai and male college student Cheng Guangliang all arrived.

Six people gathered at Sun Hongyu's home.

Start discussing countermeasures.

Finally settled.

The first wave of people who went to the Twelve Buildings were Sun Hongyu, Yuan Hong, Zheng Huitang, and Cheng Guangliang.

The second wave of people who went to Building 12 were Sun Hongyu, Jing Xiaoyu and Long Yucai.

The reason why four people are arranged in the first round is because someone needs to row the boat back.

And Sun Hongyu is the best candidate.

Because she can not only row, but also swim.
