Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Big Storage of Items
Fuck it, I’m going all in.
Once I get back, I need to hurry up and pack, but at least I can take the opportunity to sneak some items into the space, which is a good thing.
Jhiang Xingzhi’s face was pale, clearly understanding the wisdom of not flaunting wealth.
Now, having supplies meant having the courage to survive.
There are so many things at home, how can I pack them all?
The attic is their main battleground for hoarding stuff, it’s indescribable.
After getting home, he didn’t complain about Jhiang Yuan, but started worrying instead.
Qin Yue didn’t understand and thought something else had happened.
"What’s going on now, why do you look so awful?"
"Sigh, they want to come to our house’s balcony tonight..."
"Why do they want to come to our house, isn’t it full of stuff? Did you guys agree?"
"Sigh, there was no other way!"
Jhiang Xingzhi sighed, not knowing what else to say.
Mom was also very surprised, she still didn’t know about the grey snow.
"Old man, hurry up and talk to them, don’t let them come over..."
Seeing her emotional, she probably felt frustrated, thinking Jhiang Xingzhi was being passive...
As for Jhiang Yuan, it was not her fault, and she didn’t even think to blame her.
"Mom, don’t get worked up, listen to me..."
I rushed forward to explain, this situation had to be made clear.
"Mom, Dad and I went to the balcony last night and discovered something off about the snow. It turns gray when you shine a flashlight on it.
Under normal daylight, it’s white."
"What the heck, how is that possible?"
Qin Yue’s attention was immediately diverted, and Jhiang Yuan felt even more confident in convincing mother.
"That’s right, Dad didn’t want to scare you, so he asked me not to tell."
She also didn’t forget to redeem some goodwill for Dad, no doubt the considerate daughter.
Sure enough, Qin Yue looked at her husband and didn’t say anything more...
"This morning, we checked next door, and it’s still the same. It doesn’t seem normal.
We don’t know if it’s toxic; everyone wants to come over and examine it.
Out of the four families, only our house has a terrace. If we open the door to the attic, we can avoid contact with the snow and still be able to see it.
If we go downstairs, we fear the snow itself is dangerous. Do you understand?"
After all that was said, what was there not to understand?
"No wonder you two didn’t care about your shoes yesterday. You should have told me, your mother isn’t easily frightened..."
"Yes, yes, that’s because Dad loves you.
And now, everyone is supporting each other. If I lacked even the slightest sense of sociability,
I’m afraid everyone would hold a grudge and wouldn’t be willing to help later..."
"That can’t be allowed..."
Qin Yue felt like she was facing a huge threat, not knowing what the situation outside was like, where people could easily die.
Even if her daughter was capable, she was still a girl and definitely couldn’t match the strength and fighting ability of those men.
This guy, always stirring up massive trouble, although she hadn’t gone out, she had been constantly watching through the surveillance.
Of course, she understood that it was about collective defense; the power of one person was far too meager.
Moreover, that grey snow was an unknown entity.
If it really was toxic, then it would harm everyone. After all, it seemed right to let them come over.
This truly was a dilemma, sigh...
"Mom, don’t worry, let’s clean up the upper floor.
We still have a few rooms below where we can store things. You and Dad organize them.
I’ll go upstairs and check things out. If some items are beyond help, just cover them up. If they can’t be seen, then there’s no problem."
Now, everyone was worried only about being discovered for their supplies.
As long as that issue was resolved, there would be nothing to worry about.
"Okay..."
Everyone was action-oriented, and since Xiao Ling had also come, no more was said.
Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue moved to the next two houses to tidy up, while Jhiang Yuan was downstairs, watching.
She dared not let her daughter out of sight of her own people, it was too dangerous.
In the other two rooms of the house, there were quite a few things stored, but they were not filled up vertically.
They hadn’t reached the ceiling yet, so there was still room for more.
However, they needed to be rearranged; heavier items should be placed at the bottom, and they needed to be leveled as much as possible to facilitate adding more items on top.
Despite the busyness, it was not chaotic at all.
Normally, Jhiang Yuan would also secretly stash some items into the space.
Although not much, it still reduced the workload.
After lunch, Xiao Nuan was put to sleep, and the three of them started moving non-stop.
"Sweetheart, I think we can use our bedroom as well, there’s quite a bit of empty space there," she said.
"Yes, we can also make use of the balcony in our room," she added.
With that, Jhiang Yuan sent Qin Yue to tidy up the house they lived in.
Jhiang Xingzhi went up to the attic with her to bring some of the lighter items first.
She took the opportunity to secretly move some items into the space while arranging the attic.
She dared not overdo it, in case her parents noticed and discovered the ruse.
Now her balcony only had a few woven bags and a storage cabinet.
This cabinet had been custom made earlier to store various small items. Aside from the wall cabinets, the bottom was all drawers, which were particularly good for storing knick-knacks.
It didn’t need much arranging, and things could be placed there directly.
Jhiang Xingzhi was also moving things downstairs, and she carried load after load, with the additional worry of not waking the child.
The master bedroom balcony had considerable space, probably over two meters in width.
She removed the woven bags, placing grains and flours underneath first.
They were relatively heavy but comparatively flat, facilitating further storage atop them.
As they worked separately, Jhiang Xingzhi had no idea how much she had taken.
The items stashed away in the space kept increasing.
Of course, the room was also stuffed full.
"Those buckets of water have turned to ice, but it won’t affect us; we can just set them aside," she said.
"I think that won’t be a problem either..."
Outside, apart from the ice, was snow; a little movement, and they wouldn’t lack water to drink.
This, even in abundance, wouldn’t entice others to have malevolent intentions.
If asked, they would just say it was due to fear of running out of water during a previous disruption.
After a busy day, they were utterly exhausted, unable to straighten their backs...
The remaining items were all covered with a quilt.
Originally, there were already quite a few items here, like sauerkraut crocks, salted vegetable crocks, and many potatoes and cabbages.
Previously, these were stored in styrofoam boxes, then covered with quilts, and now adding more things wasn’t an issue.
At nine in the evening, everyone arrived as planned.
Jhiang Yuan went ahead to open the door. Qin Yue hadn’t gone to sleep yet, but she wasn’t coming up; she stayed to watch Xiao Nuan.
The nighttime temperature was bone-chilling.
When they reached the attic, they didn’t open the door but instead slid the cotton curtain aside.
Jhiang Yuan took a powerful flashlight and shined it over the nearest pile of snow.
Indeed, the spot hit by the beam immediately changed color.
"Oh my gosh, it changed, it changed..."
Although they knew what to expect, actually seeing it was still surprising, especially in such abundance.
