Chapter 12 Typhoon and Tsunami 3
It was already past nine o'clock after watching the movie, so she climbed into bed and fell asleep.
The house shook gently from time to time, and the typhoon blew loudly outside the window.
I guess no one can sleep this night.
Su Su couldn't sleep well that night.
As a result, she woke up the next day with dark circles under her eyes.
She washed her hands, then went to the kitchen to make a cup of rice and put it in a casserole. She rinsed the rice with water on both sides and put it on the stove to cook.
Then use a small steamer to steam three eggs and two corns.
After ten minutes of waiting while she brushed her teeth and washed her face, the corn and eggs were already steamed.
She ate a stick of corn and an egg and put the rest into the space.
Just when she was about to make a bowl of porridge and drink it, the door of the living room suddenly rang.
She put down the porridge and opened the door.
When a strange middle-aged man saw that it was a woman who opened the door, his tone suddenly became impatient.
"I am the owner of the third floor below you. Now the first and second floors are flooded due to the tsunami. The toilets and sewers are backing up. Those of you upstairs should stop pouring water down there!"
Su Su nodded and said "ok".
Seeing that she agreed readily, the man couldn't help but look at her in surprise, then walked into the stairs and continued upstairs.
Su Su closed the door, returned to the dining table and sat down to continue drinking porridge.
After two sips, she felt it was too light. She remembered that when she was shopping at the department store, she collected a lot of bottles and cans of vegetables.
She took a bottle of refreshing food from it and ate it with the white porridge. It was fragrant and crispy, which whetted her appetite and drank two bowls of porridge.
After you've eaten and drank enough, it's time to get down to business.
Since the toilets and sewers cannot be used, in order to prevent the airflow from the pipes from flowing back up and making the air in the house stink.
She planned to seal the toilet and sewer openings first.
Release some bricks and cement sand from the space. Put the cement and sand in a large bucket according to the proportion, then put some water into the bucket and mix well.
Although she has never laid bricks, as the saying goes, if she has never eaten pork, she has never seen a pig run away.
She laid the bricks one by one according to the videos she had watched, completely sealed the toilet and sewers, and finally put cement on them.
Although the building quality cannot be compared with those of skilled masters, as long as it can be used, it will be fine.
The remaining bricks and cement were taken back into space by her.
After all this hard work, I sweated a little and felt sticky and uncomfortable.
There has been no water since the power outage yesterday, so she brought the water for breakfast from the space.
In order to save some water, she only took a little water and wetted the towel to wipe the sweat.
Since she didn't sleep well last night, she felt a little sleepy and went back to her room to take a nap.
We have just entered the end of the world, and the evil thoughts of human nature have not yet been exposed.
At least within three days, people can get along peacefully.
According to the apartment layout of Building D, there are two staircases and four households on each floor.
So far, only the first and second floors have been flooded, which means eight households have no place to live.
However, no one has knocked on the door yet asking to stay overnight, which means that someone downstairs has taken the initiative to take them in.
But the tsunami didn't only occur for a day or two, but lasted for almost 15 days.
As time goes by, the water level will only rise higher and higher. At that time, people on the lower floors will have to move upstairs.
Their house was flooded and they had no food or drink. Even if someone took them in, how much would they be able to take in and how long would their food last?
No one knows this!
So in the past few days, she rested as much as she could. In a few days, she would not dare to fall asleep at night.
Su Su had a beautiful sleep and woke up, it was already 11:30 noon.
She first took a look at the water level outside the window. The third floor was already half flooded.
Unfortunately, the sky was always gloomy and she couldn't see what the people in the building opposite were doing.
If you think too much and it hurts your mind, it’s better to have lunch first and then exercise.
I want to eat paper-wrapped fish today!
She remembered that when she ordered takeout, she ordered paper-wrapped fish, and there was more than one serving.
I took out a piece of paper-wrapped fish from the deli section of the space. It was still warm when I took it out.
After all, when you order takeout, the cooked food delivered by the delivery person is always hot.
So she ate half of the fish with rice and she was full.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Su Su quickly put the bowls, chopsticks and leftover fish into the space, then went to open the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw several people standing at the door of my house.
If she remembered correctly, one of them was Guan Xiaojing's mother.
Next to her were a woman in her fifties and two men in their early thirties.
The two men are taller and shorter, but their facial features are somewhat similar, so they should be two brothers.
When the two brothers saw Su Su, their eyes suddenly lit up and they kept staring at Su Su.
As soon as Guan Xiaojing's mother saw Su Su opening the door, she quickly touched the aunt's arm with her elbow.
The aunt quickly smiled and said: "Hello, I live on the third floor below. My house is flooded and I have no place to stay. I heard that you live alone. I wonder if you can let us stay overnight..."
"Who did you listen to?" Su Su interrupted her directly.
"This..." The aunt glanced at Guan Xiaojing's mother, but hesitated to speak.
Su Su moved her gaze to Guan Xiaojing's mother's face and looked at her with a half-smile.
Guan Xiaojing's mother's face turned red and blue at the sight of Su Su's piercing gaze.
She said with some embarrassment: "It's me, what's wrong? Little girl, we all live in the same building as neighbors. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Now their houses are flooded. As their
Neighbor, it’s not too much to ask you to take them in for a few days, right?”
