It's a new day when I open my eyes. Today is May 5rd. It was originally a great Saturday rest day, which is very suitable for going out and experiencing the freedom and relaxation of the outdoors. But Xie Shu checked the weather forecast last night and said there would be showers today. Through the covering curtains, Xie Shu saw the gray outside, the ground was still dry, and it looked like it hadn't started to rain yet. It is estimated that within a short time, raindrops will start to fall from the beginning, and then the rain will intensify, and more desperate natural disasters will come.

Jie Shu got up and packed up, walked to the living room, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, and looked far away at the junction of heaven and earth on the other side. There were already dark clouds rolling in, and it looked like "black clouds are overwhelming the city and are about to destroy it." And it looked like Further incursions into the city are underway.

According to the direction of the map, the direction of the dark clouds is the direction of the ocean. It seems that the sea breeze is behind it. The movement of the dark clouds can even be seen clearly if you look carefully. Xie Shu didn't stand in front of the window and observe for too long. Rain was just an expected situation. Although he knew that he would be shocked when he experienced it personally, he could still stabilize himself. Anyway, the glass has been replaced with local Chinese glass, which is absolutely strong. As long as you stay at home, you will be safe even if the "Phoenix" passes by here.

Xie Shu changed his clothes, took his apron and continued to the 26th floor to cook as planned. Today we mainly cook rice and various kinds of rice porridge. Several rice cookers were plugged in together. According to Xie Shu's preference, in addition to ordinary white rice, Xie Shu also added sweet corn kernels, bacon kernels, pea kernels, diced carrots, etc. to make various kinds of steamed rice. Various rice grains purchased by myself, including purple rice, black rice, yellow rice, etc.

The same goes for porridge, rice porridge, millet porridge... Xie Shu also cut pumpkins, purple potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., and used them to make porridge. There are also ready-made eight-treasure porridge ingredients that can be boiled directly with water. Looking at the bags of eight-treasure porridge ingredients, Xie Shu always felt nostalgic.

When I was a child, my mother would also buy this kind of prepared eight-treasure porridge with rock sugar in it. Although Xie Shu didn't like eight-treasure porridge that much when he was a child, he loved looking for the rock sugar cubes among the grains and beans his mother bought. The rock candy may be just plain sweet, but the joy and results of exploration can keep Xie Shu excited all day long. When her mother found out, she would just call her a "little clever girl", and then add rock sugar to bring out the sweetness when cooking porridge.

Even if I come here, I will miss my childhood time from time to time. After all, "a happy childhood can heal a lifetime." Xie Shu smiled lightly, broke away from the harmonious family memories, and then continued to get busy.

……

On the other side of Shanghai, Xu Zhengyang is also busy. His family is not wealthy. In order to raise funds to stock up on supplies, he has advanced and loaned a lot of money, and even started selling valuable items in his house.

"Son, this really doesn't work. Although I don't know why you raised money, and you didn't want to tell us, you just said it was no trouble, but this jade pendant really doesn't work." Sitting on the sofa, Xu Zhengyang's mother shook her head He shook his head and preached.

She was sensible and always supported her son's work and decisions. This was the first time she had such a big conflict with Xu Zhengyang.

Xu Zhengyang's father was also nearby, but did not speak. When his son inexplicably started using family members' ID cards and credit cards to pay off loans and overdrafts without explanation, the two began to have a cold war because of their inharmonious conversations.

Xu Zhengyang knew that it was normal for his parents not to understand him, but he had no choice. He knew his parents best. Although his parents were upright and simple, they were also superstitious, especially his mother. If he said this, he would inevitably be punished. His mother did some messy things in the name of being possessed by evil spirits.

So Xu Zhengyang decided first and then acted later. Fortunately, his parents still supported him and agreed to his approach despite his insistence.

But now even my mother's jewelry has been sold. It can be said that the only valuable item left in the family is this jade pendant. If it weren't for the fact that the house is still needed to withstand future floods and heavy rains, perhaps even the house would have to be sold urgently.

Xu Zhengyang grew up in a well-behaved manner, so it was difficult for him to find other ways to make money quickly in a short period of time. Whether it was usury or any legally prohibited method of making money, his integrity prevented him from engaging in it. What's more, if he had too much money, the sealed cold storage rooms he rented wouldn't be able to store so much stuff.

"Mom, believe me, this is really urgent." Xu Zhengyang tried hard to persuade his mother to give up the jade pendant and sell it for money. "I really need this jade pendant to exchange for money. Time is running out." Dark clouds began to gather outside today, as if they were clamoring for a disaster that would happen soon. But the official obviously did not believe his statement, and there was no warning or forecast for Typhoon "Phoenix" yet. He could only rely on his own meager strength to prepare.

"Son, it's been many days. You've overdrafted your father's and mine's credit card loan, and you didn't tell us anything if I asked you. This jade pendant was passed down from your great-grandmother. This is really not good." Xu Zhengyang's mother said with a look on her face. Helpless to bear it. But in the end, she couldn't resist Xu Zhengyang's repeated pleas. Facing this child who had been reassuring since childhood, she still respected his decision.

A square mahogany box was finally placed in Xu Zhengyang's hand. After getting the box, Xu Zhengyang expressed his gratitude to his mother for her understanding and concession.

The lock on the box had signs of wear and tear. Xu Zhengyang tried to open it, but the rusty lock was difficult to turn. Xu Zhengyang staggered and finally opened it with all his strength. But accidentally, a small cut was made on the index finger. Although he felt pain, there was no direct bleeding, so he didn't care. It wasn't until he picked up the jade pendant that he noticed a trace of blood red behind the ice jade safety buckle.

But after a burst of blood appeared, something magical happened. The blood seemed to be absorbed by the jade pendant. At this moment, a square space appeared in Xu Zhengyang's mind. The space is very large. Xu Zhengyang only estimated that it is larger than two football fields. In addition, from the moment he felt the space, Xu Zhengyang understood its use.

This happened in front of my parents. No matter how superstitious they are, they still have to believe some outrageous things. And this inherited jade pendant even made Xu Zhengyang begin to doubt the authenticity of some superstitious claims.

But now is not the time to dwell on this. Looking at the surprised faces of his parents, Xu Zhengyang pursed his lips and simply told all about his rebirth. Accepting such a huge amount of information at once, although the two understood the strangeness of Xu Zhengyang's early days, they were still shocked into silence for a long time.

"In that case, we will definitely support you fully. Just go ahead and do it." With the support of his parents, Xu Zhengyang left. He now needs to put all the supplies in the cold storage into this space.
