My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 71 Ma Lingling's Day
After lunch, my grandfather went to work in less than 10 minutes.

In the words of my grandmother:

"Your grandfather is becoming more and more like a workaholic."

Ma Lingling felt that there was nothing wrong with being a workaholic, at least she was not short of money.

At her age, she is the most sensitive to trends, has the strongest sense of comparison, and she never has enough money to spend.

When she first came to Yanjing, she was going to go to her grandfather's store to work in the summer vacation to earn some pocket money, but her grandma insisted she would not agree, and finally had to give up.

In the afternoon, Ma Lingling took a nap for two hours. During this time, the outdoor temperature was as high as 47 or [-] degrees. Unless there was an air conditioner, she couldn't do any work.

After taking a nap, she first went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water, then took out a bottle of Ice Kuo Le from the refrigerator, drank it three times, and finally burped several times.

It's cool, that's what I want.

Fortunately, my grandmother's house used to open a convenience store, and now there is no shortage of snacks and beverages at home. Ma Lingling felt that the two little cousins ​​were living in a honey pot.

"Lingling, get up. Grandma has stewed Tremella and lotus seed soup. It's sweet. Would you like a bowl?"

Xu's mother is used to taking care of triplets, so she doesn't usually take naps.

Ma Lingling rubbed her stomach and smiled bitterly: "Grandma, why didn't you tell me earlier, I just drank a bottle of Coke and I'm full."

"You kid, why are you drinking so much Coke, it's not nutritious at all, drink less next time." Mother Xu taught.

"Got it, grandma, you are dressed so formally, where are you going?" Ma Lingling asked curiously.

Xu Ma replied with a smile: "It's been a long time since we got together. Your grandma Wang invited me to have afternoon tea. Would you like to go with me?"

Ma Lingling visited Wang Xiujuan's house once, and the other party was very generous. The first time they met, she gave her a big red envelope of 1000 yuan.

"Okay, grandma, wait for me, I'll change my clothes."

Ma Lingling is worried that she doesn't know how to pass the time in the afternoon. The age gap between her and her younger cousins ​​is too big, and she is too embarrassed to grab someone's tablet, so we can't play together at all.

As for mobile games, she's really not very interested in this, otherwise her academic performance would not be so outstanding.

Half an hour later, Ma Lingling accompanied her grandmother to Wang Xiujuan's house. Since it was a party, they were definitely not the only ones who came.

"Old Zhang, you brought Lingling with you. Welcome." Wang Xiujuan greeted her with a smile.

"Hello, Grandma Wang."

"It's a good boy. Come and sit with me when you have more time."

Wang Xiujuan is a more traditional person, and she especially likes the younger generation with good academic performance, otherwise she would not have given such a big red envelope in the first place.

"As long as you don't find me annoying, Grandma Wang."

Wang Xiujuan said angrily, "How can it be annoying, it's too late to welcome me!"

After the courtesy, after waiting for another ten minutes, the people finally arrived.

Different from the afternoon tea time in foreign countries, Wang Xiujuan and the others held afternoon tea, and leisure was second, mainly to exchange some important information, so there were some people with backgrounds here.

Even Xu's mother is a proper billionaire at home, and her son works in the power company, so she is no worse than others.

As the organizer, Wang Xiujuan first said: "Starting from next month, the supply of rice and flour in the capital may be gradually reduced, and the proportion of corn and potatoes will be higher and higher in the future."

"How could this be?"

"The situation is getting worse and worse. Our Yanjing side is pretty good. I heard that in some remote areas, even sweet potatoes are in short supply." Wang Xiujuan sighed.

"Pharaoh, my neighbor next door went abroad the day before yesterday, to the other side of the ocean. Do you have any channels to find out what's going on there?"

This aunt with big waves, at a glance, knows that she also has the idea of ​​going abroad.

An aunt who spoke very slowly said:

"I do know one thing in this regard, the situation on the other side of the ocean is not much better than ours, and there have been several rounds of 'zero-yuan purchase' incidents.

You also know that they can't stop guns over there. We Daxia people, who are not familiar with people there, if you want me to say, it is better to stay in the country! "

"The key is that it's hard to say in China. With so many people, hundreds of millions of tons of food will be consumed in a year. I think it's even more difficult."

The numbers will not deceive people, and this big wave is also very reasonable. Even if the emergency food reserves in Daxia are sufficient, they can be managed for at most two years.

What to do after two years?
Xu Ma said at this time: "Don't worry too much, my son just came back from Jinmen, where a seawater desalination plant is being built, and the scale is said to be scary.

No matter how severe the drought is, we have come up with a solution. I think it is better to stay in the country. Anyway, I will not go abroad if I am killed. "

"I also heard from my family that the project in Jinmen will be completed by the end of the year, and it will be able to meet the daily water needs of 30 million people.

Moreover, the second phase of the project will start soon, and the scale is even larger than that of the first phase.

Not only that, similar desalination plants are blooming almost everywhere in coastal areas. Lao Zhang is right, we don't need to worry too much. "

"It's easy to put it, we all came from that era, anyway, I'm not optimistic..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, who can get canned food? My son is going to the south on duty. I want to get him some canned food to bring."

"I stocked up some before, how much do you want?" Da Wave asked.

She wants to go abroad, and she must dispose of a large part of the materials in her hands.

"Come here! I can't afford more, what do you want to change?"

"Can I pay with gold?"

"Okay, I still have some jewelry there, all for you."

Wang Xiujuan took the opportunity to interrupt and said, "Can you sell me a few boxes too, I can also pay with jewelry, and I can also get you a plane ticket or a ferry ticket."

"Of course there is no problem, as long as I can get a ticket, I can give you a [-]% discount." Da Wave said boldly.

At the end of the tea party, no one persuaded anyone. The only consensus reached by everyone was that no matter whether they were going abroad or not, they should hurry up and make final preparations.

Ma Lingling listened attentively on the side, but the more she listened, the more frightened she became, which opened the eyes of her high school student who did not hear anything outside the window.

It turns out that the outside world has changed a lot before you know it.

The apocalyptic plot that originally only appeared in movies is actually happening now.

At this moment, she was very confused, and her status as a top student that she was proud of suddenly lost its meaning at this moment.

On the way home, Xu Ma looked at the silent granddaughter and couldn't help worrying: "What's the matter, wasn't it okay when you came?"

"Grandma, is the end of the world what Grandma Wang said is true?" Ma Lingling asked worriedly.

"Of course it's not true. How could the end of the world happen? It's just a few years of drought at most, and it's not that serious." Xu Ma comforted.
