Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Cotton Snow

"No, it’s not..."

After calming down a bit, Liang Kang also played along with the teasing.

They took out everything they had, which included some rice, flour, dried noodles, and such, but not a lot.

There were, however, two boxes of instant noodles and some other miscellaneous snacks.

Seeing that it could be divided into five portions, they did just that.

Liang Kang was very excited while the rest were okay with it, since they had divided resources like this before when they had gone out to look for supplies.

By the time they finished, it was already noon.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t want the clothes, while Zhang Kaiyang picked a few and tossed them by the door.

They could be used to clean shoes. When they go out and their shoes bring in snow, they needed to be cleaned and these were just right for that.

Most of the remaining clothes were taken by Liang Kang, as nobody else wanted them and he didn’t want them to go to waste.

Jhiang Yuan, carrying the spoils of victory, returned to the twenty-first floor and felt it necessary to talk to Song Yi.

"So, today went quite smoothly," she said.

Who knew, Song Yi furrowed his brows, a puzzled expression on his face.

"Indeed, it was unexpectedly smooth. That group was almost invincible before,

but today, they were just too weak."

Ah, saying it like that made her suspicious too.

"Song Yi, who do you think the person spreading the information really is?"

As far as she could tell, it wasn’t any of them, as no one had shown their hand.

It wasn’t Old Xu or Old Wu either, so who could it be?

"I don’t know, but we still can’t let our guard down. It’s easy to become careless now."

Yes, they had just eliminated two strong enemies.

While they were reveling in their success, their opponents’ opportunity had also arrived; they could not allow themselves to become easy targets.

"Right, I was thinking, if possible, we should go through the entire building again tomorrow.

We need to check the situation in every household, and it would be best to blockade the lower floors.

You never know if someone might try something like what happened on the eighth floor."

"Right, let’s check if there’s any issue inside the building, and as for sealing off the lower floors, we’ll see about that.

Maybe tomorrow, we can ask around, there aren’t many people left."

"Right, let’s go back to sleep then."

"Okay!"

Song Yi left the items at the door of room 2101, four plastic bags each, with two especially heavy ones that he had carried back.

After she went back, only then did Song Yi head home.

Upon hearing the door open, Jhiang Xingzhi hurried over.

"Dad, why haven’t you gone to sleep yet? It’s so late."

"How could I sleep? How did it go, my girl, are you alright?"

Saying this, he anxiously checked her for any wounds.

"I’m fine, Dad, everything’s been settled. Look, the spoils of war..."

She waved the plastic bag in her hand. The details weren’t worth mentioning; no need to get her dad worked up.

Today, a big worry had been removed, and from now on, the days would only get better.

Qin Yue came out too when she heard the noise; she had just been with Xiao Nuan.

"My girl, are you hungry? Shall I make you something to eat?"

"No need, Mom, leave these things here. Tomorrow you and dad can sort them out; I’ll go change my clothes first."

"You go, hurry up..."

Back in her room, she took off all her clothes and dashed into the space.

It was really warm in there.

She changed into a full set of warm thermal underwear and put on some woolen socks.

She went to the vegetable garden and picked a tomato and a fresh tender cucumber.

She was indeed hungry, but didn’t want to trouble her mom too much.

The vegetables she grew herself weren’t treated with chemicals, so a quick wipe and they were ready to eat.

Crunchy and juicy, deliciously sweet.

She had placed a rattan table and chair set in front of the window earlier, separate from the lounge chairs.

Now it was just the right place to eat something, and after some thought, she made herself a bowl of hot and sour noodles.

She wasn’t particularly hungry, just felt like celebrating a little.

Accompanied by sausage and marinated eggs, there was a real sense of ceremony.

Looking at the garden’s lush greenery, she felt very pleased and increasingly optimistic.

...

The next morning, she woke up at eight, having slept for less than six hours.

She had come out of the space too late yesterday, lingering in that trace of warmth.

Xiao Nuan was still asleep, so she wrapped herself in a three-layer padded nightgown and put on fluffy slippers before heading to the living room.

Today, for some reason, the water in the thermal flask was still warm.

She poured herself a cup and walked to the window to check out the situation below.

"My goodness..."

Jhiang Yuan was stunned; was someone throwing snow down from above?

That couldn’t be right; this was the top floor.

She tried to look up, but couldn’t see anything, her mind overwhelmed with questions.

She hurried up to the attic to see for herself, confirming there was no one there since the attic was connected to the house below.

What was the deal with those large snowflakes?

When she got there, she was shocked once more.

There, on the terrace, it was completely covered with snow.

The snow had surpassed the steps on her side, and if her door hadn’t opened inwards, she probably wouldn’t have been able to push it open.

Now, the snowflakes couldn’t be called snowflakes anymore; they looked more like cotton, fluffy, three dimensional.

This had all accumulated in one night, at least half a meter deep.

This was after Jhiang Xingzhi had been clearing the terrace every day; if not, it would have completely buried them.

Just the thought of it melting into water was frightening; it could flood them.

But what was up with this cottony snow?

After nearly thirty years, she hadn’t just not seen such a thing, she had never even heard of it!

It was utterly perplexing; who could explain this to her?

"Girl, what’s going on?"

It turned out Jhiang Xingzhi had heard her going upstairs, not knowing what the situation was, and why so early.

He quickly got up, fearing something wrong.

Jhiang Yuan somewhat mechanically pointed at the terrace next to her, "Dad, look..."

"What is it?"

Jhiang Xingzhi, puzzled, looked through the door, and was also thoroughly startled.

"Is, is... God sweeping the snow?"

"What? Haha, dad, you’re too funny."

Gosh, that tension was instantly relieved.

Truly, "having an elder in the house is like having a treasure!"

Who had Dad learned this sensational way of speaking from?

"You’re laughing, but this has practically buried us.

It wasn’t like this last night. How much has it snowed!"

He too couldn’t believe it; he had even come over to clear it yesterday afternoon.

They had said that the snowflakes were much smaller, so how could it have turned out like this?

"I don’t know either. Seeing this, I thought there was someone on our roof, so I came over to check."

"No, girl, close the door quickly. I’m going to get ready and then come over to shovel the snow.

If it keeps snowing, it might even collapse the concrete slab."

Well, she really hadn’t considered the issue of weight capacity; leave it to Dad!

To be safe, she gathered some protective gear for Jhiang Xingzhi, including an overhead umbrella, ensuring full protection.
