Chapter 285 Water supply stopped
She ate slowly for a while, and when her empty stomach gradually got used to the food, she began to wolf it down.
This was a habit she had developed since the end of the world, mainly because the weather was so hot that if she didn't eat quickly, she was afraid that the stale food would go bad.
In a short while, Su Xiaoxiao finished a large bowl of rice and two plates of vegetables.
She took out a piece of tissue with satisfaction, wiped her mouth, and collapsed on the sofa.
Feeling collapsed after eating is the norm in life!
She is nothing like me. She has to go out to work late at night every day just to get that little bit of rice.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao sat up in shock. She quickly took out her watch and looked at it.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm and there was still more than an hour before work started.
She is an orphan. If she could still be alive and well without going to work and receiving that little bit of aid, people would suspect that there was something wrong with her.
But now that she was sitting up, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't collapse back down.
Now that she had water, she had to use this time to clean up the house.
She took out a basin and carefully scooped some water into the basin with a ladle. Then she took out a rag from home and wiped the dust off the furniture in the house. Then she put all the things that were not needed temporarily into the space.
Even the stones and coal in the remaining half of the room were collected by her into the space.
There was only a bed, a sofa, a coffee table and some pots and pans left outside.
Then she scooped up some water and washed the dishes she had just used for her meal.
After doing all this, she looked at the time and saw that the electricity and water would soon come.
She skillfully took out all the devices that needed charging and plugged them in, then took out a few five-liter mineral water bottles and placed them under the faucet at home.
She mixed the rice she had saved with some of the rice given by the boss, washed it slightly, poured water on it, and put it in her rice cooker to prepare.
After doing all this, Su Xiaoxiao stared at the time on her watch, waiting for the arrival of twelve o'clock in the morning.
As soon as the clock struck midnight, the lights in Su Xiaoxiao's house came on.
At the same time, the electrical appliances in the house started running.
The small fan started to turn, the rice cooker started working, and various charging devices also started charging.
But not a drop of water came out of the faucet.
"It's over. Is there no water?"
Just as Su Xiaoxiao was thinking this, she heard the sound of "ding dong ding dong" from her cell phone.
Su Xiaoxiao picked up her phone and saw that in just a short while, there were already 99+ messages in the owners’ group.
She turned on her phone and clicked into the owners’ group, only to see that everyone was discussing in panic.
Nono’s mom: It’s already twelve o’clock, why is there still no water?
Sunset Red: Oh, the whole family is waiting for this little bit of water to save their lives. If there is no water, how are we supposed to survive?
Xiao Zhao from the Nutrition Institute: Where is the property management? Come out quickly. You normally charge us so much for property management fees, but at this critical moment, you can't even provide us with this little water a day. What's the point of having you?
Riding the Wind and Waves: Who still has water? Can you sell me some? I’ll pay a high price. My dad has a fever and he can’t survive without water.
After this sentence, everyone was silent for a moment.
Finally, Xi Yanghong couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up in the group.
@乘风破浪: Hey, Xiao Xu, I still have some water here, but I can only give you the amount of a bottle of mineral water at most.
Your father is a good man. He helps the owners in the community a lot on a daily basis.
@Everyone: Everyone has seen how Lao Xu treats us on a daily basis. At this critical moment, I hope everyone can lend a helping hand and not let this good man feel disheartened.
When Xu Jiamao heard this, he was really a little broken.
His father has been kind-hearted all his life, but he didn't expect that he couldn't hold on at this time.
But there were two hungry children at home, so his father saved all his food rations and water for the children, and as a result, he could not bear it and started to have a fever.
When he found out, he felt angry and blamed himself.
He was angry that his father was still causing him trouble at this time, and he blamed himself for not realizing that his father had saved water and food for his two children.
He lost his mother when he was young, and his father raised him by acting as both father and mother to him.
He grew up, was admitted to university, found a job in the city, got married and settled down, and later brought his father over.
On weekdays, he and his wife work, and his father stays at home to take care of the two children, never giving them any worries.
He thought his father was still the omnipotent father.
He thought that they had a lot of time together and they still had a lot of time to spend together.
But this was the end of the world suddenly, and suddenly his father fell ill.
He didn't want to see his father die young, but his father didn't get better after taking the antipyretic medicine.
Looking at his father's cracked lips, he felt heartbroken, but there was no water at home.
He thought that if he waited a little longer, water would come. He thought that by then he would make sure to give his father more water and cook thick rice porridge for him overnight.
I didn't expect there would be no water today.
He blinked his eyes, blinked back the tears in his eyes, and quickly replied in the owner group: "Thank you, Uncle Liu, I thank you on behalf of my father."
When he said this, tears still flowed from his eyes.
Then he sent another message in the group: "I don't want your water for free, I'll give you 20 yuan for a bottle of water."
Then he @ed everyone in the group and said, "Please help me, I don't want your water for nothing, just like Uncle Liu's, I buy it for 20 yuan a bottle."
When Su Xiaoxiao saw this, she thought of the kind-hearted Grandpa Xu in the community.
Grandpa Xu is a really nice person. No matter who in the community is in trouble, he will help if he can.
Moreover, Grandpa Xu is very capable. He usually repairs furniture, small appliances, etc. As long as people come to his house, Grandpa Xu will help them with a smile.
Some people said that with his skills, he could open a shop and make money, but it was such a loss to repair things for people in the community for free.
He would always answer with a smile: "It's easy, so it doesn't cost much."
He was nicknamed Mr. Xu.
Grandpa Xu doesn't mind either. Whenever someone asks him for help, he will happily come to their house.
When Su Xiaoxiao thought of this, she felt a little reluctant, but seeing that everyone in the group was quiet, she didn't dare to be the first to speak out.
There is no water tonight. Who knows what is going on? If there is no water only tonight, it would be fine. But if there is no water in the future, how will these people survive?
If she revealed the signal that she still had water at this time, she, an orphan, would not even know how she died.
Fortunately, there was some movement in the property at this time.
