Chapter 200
Zhou Shuwan nodded and said, "Okay, then let's change into air-conditioned clothes first. I also need to go out for something."
They have family gatherings about space to store supplies, but Mu Mu usually does his homework upstairs and doesn't participate.
Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun looked at her in surprise: "Wanwan, what are you doing outside in such hot weather?"
Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "Let's exchange the air-conditioning clothes first. Dad, Mom, I definitely won't go out without air-conditioning clothes!"
In this kind of weather, no one dares to go out.
The temperature at night is more than ten degrees lower than during the day. If people really need to go out for urgent matters, they can only risk going out at night.
Staff members like Director Wu have not dared to go out for more than a month. They have been staying in the community property management office. Any news is brought to them by the staff in the service hall.
Those who work outside frequently have been equipped with air-conditioned clothing.
Originally, supermarket boats could replace this function, but now that the flood has completely receded, the supermarket boats have lost their ability to sail.
Last month, the supermarket ship closed down completely.
Hot weather is different from flood season.
During the high temperature period, not only are the survivors unable to go out and trapped at home, suffering from tremendous psychological pressure, but they also have to endure various physical discomforts.
This double pressure also causes people to become emotionally unstable during high temperature periods.
If the relief food is stopped from being distributed, it will definitely lead to more riots and dark events.
Mayor Lu led his team to hold countless meetings, and finally overcame all objections and difficulties, and started the helicopter as usual to distribute relief supplies to survivors every three days.
Now that more than half a year has passed since the last census, the data is no longer accurate, so the property management company needs to conduct another census.
Zhou Shuwan discussed with Qi Mingyu and decided to give the location for delivering supplies to the next-door apartment building.
Both families now have solar power generation equipment and air conditioning. The temperature inside the house is obviously different from that outside, and it is not suitable for outsiders to enter.
Qi Mingyu originally proposed this resolution in order to guard against the Dong family.
Now that I have no concerns, I naturally agree.
The time for the helicopter to drop supplies is set at five o'clock in the morning when it is just dawn, which is the lowest temperature during the day.
I got up early and went to the next door to collect supplies. The person in charge of receiving supplies on the top floor of the neighboring unit building was named Qin. The head of the family was Qin Kun, who was in his 30s. He had elderly people and children at home, and he was burdened with a lot of things, so his life was not easy.
But he is well-known for his honesty in the community.
When the Zhou family came to collect the supplies, he took advantage of everyone leaving and said to Zhou Jianghai, "Brother Jianghai, I'm just starting to manage the supply collection, and I'm a bit unsure. Thinking about it, Shu Wan's idea of recording the video with her phone was a good one, but we don't have solar power at home, so could I bring my phone to your house to charge it?"
Zhou Jianghai was startled and looked at Zhou Shuwan.
Some people came to borrow electricity to charge their mobile phones before, but there were not many people and the number of times was only a few. Later, everyone was busy looking for survival supplies, and it was inconvenient to go to the house across the building during the flood season, so no one came to charge the battery anymore.
Zhou Shuwan thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Qin, if you need to charge, you can use any batteries, power banks, or mobile phones you have at home, but you'll need to exchange them for supplies. If you have gold, jade, or jewelry, you can use them. If not, a pack of compressed biscuits, a bundle of firewood, or other supplies will do."
Qin Kun's face had already turned ugly when he heard her say that she needed to exchange supplies.
There is a shortage of supplies now. How can they afford to charge the battery and then exchange it for supplies?
After hearing Zhou Shuwan's suggestion that they could exchange it for gold, jade, jewelry, or firewood, his expression became more positive and he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! Then, I'll go to your house later."
Nowadays, no one wants gold and jade jewelry even if they are thrown on the roadside. It would be nice if they could be replaced and charged a few times.
Of course he was reluctant to exchange his food, but now that the flood had receded and the sun was so strong, countless trees had fallen over and were dried up, making it a good time to collect firewood.
After going downstairs, Zhou Jianghai asked, "Wanwan, the reason you proposed this charging condition is..."
Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "Dad, the sun is too strong right now, and our solar panels are producing power right now. In the past, transportation was inconvenient, so people thought it was too troublesome to come to our house. Solar power generation was also limited during flood season, so we... But once the flood receded, it was just a matter of walking to our house. I see more people coming to charge their batteries."
Zhou Jianghai muttered to himself, "That's right, and some people probably have portable battery-powered air conditioners and fans at home, and they'd also like to charge them."
"Since there are too many people to refuse, we should set a rule. We can't charge for free."
Free lunches are never good and can lead to a lot of trouble.
Zhou Shuwan didn't expect to get rich from the money he earned from charging, so the price he mentioned was not high.
Zhou Jianghai nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Wanwan, the standard you just mentioned is very good. It won't cause any serious damage to others, nor will it make them think that our family is easy to bully!"
Not long after, Qin Kun came to the door with his neighbors.
Zhou Shuwan didn't let them into the house, but just received the things at the door: a laptop, two power banks, and five mobile phones.
The Qin family gave a gold necklace and a gold ring, and the neighbors gave two packs of compressed biscuits.
Zhou Shuwan recharged it all.
Qi Mingyu heard the noise outside and came out to watch for a while. He waited until the evening as agreed to come pick it up. After everyone left, he leaned against the door and smiled slightly, saying, "It seems I've found a way to earn supplies at home."
Zhou Shuwan glanced at him unhappily and said, "Don't be too envious. Someone will definitely come to your house tonight."
Qi Mingyu was leaning lazily against the door, wearing a black suit. The warm sunlight came through from behind him and sprinkled on half of his shoulder, making his facial features more three-dimensional and his eyes more profound. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his handsomeness was mixed with a bit of unintentional charm.
Zhou Shuwan's little heart couldn't help but beat twice.
She looked around and walked over with forced composure: "My family is going to exchange for an air-conditioned suit, what about you?"
The relationship between the two families is so close, it is reasonable to say something.
Qi Mingyu, who was sparing no effort to release his passion towards Zhou Shuwan, was slightly taken aback when he heard this, but he wasn't too surprised. He lowered his eyes to look at her and asked, "Are you planning to go out and look for supplies?"
As expected of a former special forces soldier!
I accurately guessed her movements from just one sentence!
Zhou Shuwan nodded. She didn't need to hide anything from him. She just lowered her voice and said, "After the flood receded, many of the supplies that were swept up in the flood appeared. I want to take this opportunity to look for them and see if there is anything useful!"
And a very crucial point is that the temperature is too high now, and the survivors without air-conditioning clothes can only stay at home and dare not go out. This creates a time difference, allowing Zhou Shuwan to search for supplies that fell into the water before everyone else.
