Chapter 984: Storm Disaster Part 59
Jiang Meng looked at the tightly closed door and had to ask, "Is anyone home? I'm Jiang Meng!"
After hearing the voice, Xu Hongyu glanced at Jiang Wenxiu and immediately ran towards the door.
Jiang Wenxiu reacted and followed closely!
Xu Hongyu quickly opened the door and looked at Jiang Meng outside. She immediately stretched out her hands, hugged Jiang Meng in her arms, and said, "It's really Jiang Meng, I'm not dazzled, she's my daughter!"
Jiang Wenxiu looked at the mother and daughter hugging each other, and stretched out his arms to hold Jiang Meng and Xu Hongyu in his arms.
What could be better than a family reunion?
Jiang Meng was hugged by two people, and said with some difficulty breathing: "Let's go back to the house first. It's a bit dirty outside. I don't want to stay outside."
After hearing what was said, Xu Hongyu immediately pushed Jiang Wenxiu away and said, "Didn't you hear what your daughter said? You are blocking us!"
Before Jiang Wenxiu could make way, he was pushed aside by Xu Hongyu.
Jiang Meng looked at Jiang Wenxiu who was knocked away and couldn't help but laugh.
Xu Hongyu took Jiang Meng into the house. Jiang Meng looked at the messy environment in the house and said to Xu Hongyu, "Do you want to change your shoes?"
After hearing this, Xu Hongyu said, "Forget it. With such hygiene, why change shoes?"
Jiang Wenxiu finally entered the room, closed the door, and couldn't help but sigh.
After hearing the noise, Xu Hongyu said to Jiang Wenxiu, "Hurry up and bring out some food. Jiang Meng has come all the way here and must be starving."
Jiang Wenxiu didn't have the slightest intention of refutation, because he was so happy that Jiang Meng had returned home.
So no matter what Xu Hongyu asked him to do, Jiang Wenxiu would do it happily.
Jiang Wenxiu hurried to the kitchen, took out a bag, and handed it to Jiang Meng, saying, "It contains meat floss bread, which is delicious."
After Jiang Meng took it, he looked inside and saw that there were only two people left. Then he said to Jiang Wenxiu and Xu Hongyu, "Have you eaten yet?"
Xu Hongyu was silent for a few seconds, then gave Jiang Wenxiu a look and quickly said, "Of course I have eaten. Your father and I have already eaten."
Jiang Wenxiu understood Xu Hongyu's look, so he nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Xu Hongyu's words.
Jiang Meng took out two small bread rolls with meat floss, placed them on the dining table, and then laid the suitcase flat.
Xu Hongyu and Jiang Wenxiu looked at Jiang Meng's actions in confusion. They didn't know what Jiang Meng was going to do, so they could only stare blankly.
After Jiang Meng opened the suitcase, the food she had placed inside fell out one after another.
After seeing this, Xu Hongyu was a little surprised and said, "There's food in there?"
After Jiang Meng took out two bags of food, he said, “Yes, it’s all food.
Mom and Dad, I want to eat this, can you cook it for me? "
Jiang Meng said this because he knew there was a gas stove in the house based on the original owner's memory.
After Xu Hongyu took the food from Jiang Meng, she handed it to Jiang Wenxiu: "Go and make it."
Jiang Wenxiu had no intention of refusing: "Okay, I'll do it."
Xu Hongyu helped Jiang Meng organize the food in the suitcase.
After taking out bag after bag of food, Xu Hongyu said with some regret: "Who would have known that food is so scarce now?"
After hearing this, Jiang Meng said in confusion: "I noticed that there is not much food at home?"
Xu Hongyu suddenly said awkwardly: "Originally, our family opened a bun shop, so we had no shortage of food, but everyone was short of food before, so we sold some of it.
Who knew the situation would get worse and worse? It’s too late to regret now.”
Jiang Wenxiu's voice came from the kitchen: "Fortunately, we didn't sell all of them. The remaining part is enough for us to live for a while."
When Jiang Meng heard this, how could he not understand that the original owner's parents sold a large amount of food for the sake of money.
However, after Jiang Meng thought about it, he felt that this was human nature. After all, when no one knows the future, it is normal to focus on the present.
Xu Hongyu looked at the food in her hand, swallowed her saliva and said, "Our daughter is still amazing."
After saying this, Xu Hongyu thought of something and quickly said to Jiang Meng: "Aren't you in Yuanhai City? How did you come back? Where are the other classmates and teachers?"
Xu Hongyu asked all the questions she wanted to ask in one breath.
Jiang Wenxiu, who was in the kitchen, was also very curious, so he pricked up his ears.
Jiang Meng knew that these things would have to be explained sooner or later.
So Jiang Meng pondered for a moment, sorted out his words, and then said: "Did you see the rubber boat downstairs before? I came back in that.
As for other students and teachers, I don’t know.”
After hearing this, Xu Hongyu nodded and asked Jiang Meng with some confusion: "Where did the rubber boat come from?"
Because in Qingdan City, rubber boats are also precious things. In a situation like now, the price of rubber boats is even more high.
That's why Xu Hongyu was very curious.
Jiang Meng said without changing his expression: "I got it through food exchange."
Jiang Wenxiu, who was in the kitchen, suddenly said, "Where is the rubber boat? Why can't I see it?"
After hearing this, Jiang Meng said, "It's by the water. I don't know where to put it."
Jiang Wenxiu rushed out of the kitchen holding a pot, and said anxiously, "How can we put such an expensive thing down there? Let's get the rubber boat out quickly!"
Xu Hongyu also agreed: "Then let's go quickly! The rubber boat is very useful."
Jiang Meng just watched as Jiang Wenxiu and Xu Hongyu rushed out the door in a hurry.
Jiang Wenxiu ran out of the door, but he didn't forget to say to Jiang Meng, "The food in the pot is almost ready, you can do it yourself."
In fact, Jiang Meng didn't want to take back the rubber boat whose bottom was equally dirty because the water surface outside was too dirty, nor did he want to put it into the space.
However, since the original owner's parents asked, Jiang Meng had no choice but to tell the truth.
After about ten minutes, Jiang Meng heard the footsteps of two people.
Looking outside, Jiang Meng saw the original owner's parents, carrying a rubber boat at one end and one end, walking towards this side.
After carrying the rubber boat into the house, Xu Hongyu said, "Put the rubber boat in the utility room."
Jiang Wenxiu replied: "Okay."
Jiang Meng poured the food from the pot into the bowl, then said to Jiang Wenxiu and Xu Hongyu, "Mom and Dad, come and eat together."
After Jiang Wenxiu heard this, he quickly said, "Dad is not hungry, you eat."
Xu Hongyu also said, "I'm not hungry either."
After hearing what the original owner's parents said, Jiang Meng sighed helplessly.
When Jiang Wenxiu and Xu Hongyu didn't come back, Jiang Meng went to check and found the material situation at home was not optimistic.
With the little food in the house, if Jiang Meng hadn't come, it would probably only last half a month, not to mention that there were no medicines or drinking water in the house.
Jiang Meng knew that he couldn't get the original owner's parents to eat, so he had to eat alone.
Suddenly, there were knocks on the door.
An elderly female voice sounded almost at the same time: "Xiao Xu, Xiao Jiang, please stay at home. I have something to talk to you about."
After hearing this, Xu Hongyu hurried out of the room and said to Jiang Meng, "Don't open the door."
After Jiang Meng finished the food in his mouth, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Perhaps because there had been no movement, the knocking on the door became louder and louder.
The voices outside were getting more and more impatient: "Xiao Xu, Xiao Jiang, you can't ignore me like this!
When you opened your shop, I often took care of your business. Now I need help, how can you be so heartless and pretend you didn't hear me? "
After Jiang Wenxiu walked out of the room, he sighed deeply, and then he said helplessly to the outside of the door, "Aunt Li, if we could help, we would have helped a long time ago.
It’s also because you used to take care of our business, so I gave you food several times before.
But we are also in a tight spot right now, and we really can’t afford any extra food, so please understand.”
After hearing what was said, Aunt Li continued to insist, "I don't want much, just a little bit, just a little bit will be enough.
As an old man, I can go without food and go hungry.
But my little grandson needs food. Please take pity on us because of his young age."
Xu Hongyu immediately said angrily: "You used to take care of our business.
But that's business, it's not that you gave us money, we didn't give you the buns!"
After saying this, Xu Hongyu continued, "We have done our best for your family! Go away quickly. If you say you won't give it to me, then you won't give it to me!"
After hearing these words, Aunt Li also turned hostile: "You are a bunch of cold-blooded monsters. When we return to normal life, I will still take care of your business!
I will give you some publicity so that everyone can see how cold-blooded and heartless you are!"
After hearing this, Xu Hongyu and Jiang Wenxiu were so angry that they were fuming. As long as one is doing business, everyone knows that reputation is the most important thing.
After Jiang Meng finished chewing the food in his mouth, he said to the outside, "Our family is cold-blooded, so what? If you are not cold-blooded, you can give the food in your home to the hungry people in the community.
Let the people on the first and second floors live in your house. We are so cold-blooded and heartless, but we have given you food several times. If you are not cold-blooded and heartless, what will you do? You won't be worse than us, right?"
Jiang Meng's string of words made Aunt Li, who was standing outside the door, dizzy and unable to react for a long time.
At this time, the door next door was opened, and a young female voice sounded: "Grandma Li, you are so kind, can you give us some food?"
Li Peilan, who was standing at the door of Jiang Meng's house, rolled her eyes and said, "You are dreaming. I only gave you food when I ate too much!"
The young woman chuckled and then said, "It turns out that Granny Li also knows this truth."
After hearing this, Li Peilan's face suddenly turned gloomy.
When the young woman saw Li Peilan's expression change, she quickly said, "Husband, look at Granny Li, is she going to hit me?"
Suddenly a male voice rang out: "I want to see who dares to hit my wife!"
As he was talking, a man walked out of the house to the door, stared at Li Peilan, and said, "It's you, Old Deng, who wants to bully my wife?"
Li Peilan looked at the man's large physique and immediately said with a guilty conscience: "No, I'm standing here fine, why would I hit your wife?
Alas, my grandson is still at home, waiting for me, so I’m leaving now.”
Li Peilan walked upstairs while talking.
The young woman and the man were just about to close the door and go back to the house.
Xu Hongyu opened the door and said to the woman and the man with a grateful look on her face, "Thank you so much, Li Peilan is really too difficult to deal with."
Jiang Meng looked outside through the opened door.
Jiang Meng, who has the original owner's memories, knows that the woman and the man are neighbors of the original owner. The original owner lived in 402, and the woman and the man lived in 404.
The woman's name is Qu Qianxue and the man's name is Qin Wei. They are a couple and have a son named Qin You.
Because we live close to each other, the relationship with the original owner's family is quite good.
After hearing what was said, Qu Qianxue smiled and said to Xu Hongyu, "A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. We live so close to each other, we should take care of each other."
Qin Wei also nodded and said, "Besides, we also don't like that Li Peilan."
After Xu Hongyu, Qu Qianxue and Qin Wei said a few words, they said goodbye to each other, closed the door and returned home.
After Xu Hongyu came back, she said with some emotion: "There are still good people."
Jiang Wenxiu agreed: "We should make friends with people like this."
Then Xu Hongyu looked at Jiang Meng who was eating, thought for a moment, and said, "We have a rubber boat now, maybe we should find some time to go out and look for food."
Jiang Wenxiu echoed, "I have the same idea. We can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor."
After hearing this, Jiang Meng was silent for a while, then asked in confusion, "Don't the higher-ups care?"
Xu Hongyu said somewhat dejectedly: "In the beginning, I did manage it, distributing food to everyone.
But as time went by, we seemed to be forgotten.”
Jiang Wenxiu thought about the situation at home, and said to Jiang Meng and Xu Hongyu, "Let's go out and take a look tomorrow. The sooner the better."
Xu Hongyu nodded and said, "Should we call the family next door?"
After hearing what was said, Jiang Wenxiu said to Xu Hongyu, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
