Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Stop and Reorganize
Now is the toughest time, not knowing anything and just waiting.
It’s grueling on the mind!
Half an hour had passed without the slightest noise, everyone grew restless.
"What should we do now, they’re not coming out, and we don’t know the specifics, it’s so nerve-racking."
Zhang Kaiyang paced back and forth, visibly agitated.
Fan Qing grabbed him and made him sit down.
"With you like this, I’m getting dizzy, quiet down for a while."
He plopped down on the sofa, still somewhat fidgety.
"All we need to do is keep observing. If anything happens, we’ll notify others right away.
There’s nothing for now, so everyone should just go back."
Song Yi spoke up, and that was that.
Although they didn’t know the details, waiting like this wasn’t a solution either.
It was better to go back home where they could at least be more comfortable.
With a shift system set up, they had no worries at the back of their minds.
Jhiang Yuan felt that it was better to keep a close watch. Last time, they failed to notice a problem in time and almost caused a disaster.
Who knows what that group was up to? What were they planning to do now, going out again?
They didn’t dare risk going to Building 15 to check the situation, they could only wait.
"Daughter, have they come out yet?"
"Not yet, no idea what’s happening."
Logically, there weren’t many people left in the building, and families should have come out by now.
How come, after so long, no single person had come down? It was too illogical.
Or was it that they encountered some tricky business or some formidable people there?
But there were fifty or sixty of them; even the most formidable would be overwhelmed by sheer numbers alone.
What in the world is going on? No matter how hard I rack my brains, I can’t figure it out. It’s just baffling.
"Alright, I’ll keep watch. Go have your dinner, your mom has made noodles."
"Okay!"
Jhiang Yuan handed over duties to her dad and went to eat.
This was not the time for sentimentality; even Xiao Nuan understood the importance of a full stomach.
If things really did start to escalate, they likely wouldn’t get to eat a hot meal again in the future.
Now, they must cherish it!
Qin Yue made tomato and egg noodles, complemented with little green vegetables taken from their space, which tasted absolutely amazing!
As Jhiang Yuan ate, she kept an eye on Xiao Nuan, who needed to eat more, given the uncertain circumstances to come.
"Daughter, they’re coming out, come look."
Jhiang Xingzhi was somewhat excited, and Jhiang Yuan didn’t dare to delay, promptly running over to the balcony.
Indeed, they were coming out and heading outside the community.
The people in front were already organizing their equipment, while those in the back were still inside the building, not yet out the door.
The procession of fifty to sixty people was majestic, much like a wedding party.
She didn’t know why that comparison came to mind, but it just seemed similar.
"Why are they leaving?"
Jhiang Yuan was also a bit confused. She really couldn’t wrap her head around it. Were they just in the community for a short while?
Or had they already looted Building 15?
Now, there truly might be something urgent calling them away.
She didn’t want to think about it anymore and decided not to.
In any case, the immediate danger had been lifted, and that was enough.
Jhiang Yuan didn’t want to talk to Song Yi, feeling a bit ungrateful for her behavior earlier.
So, she let her dad pass on the news instead. After all, it made no difference.
Indeed, he saw it too but didn’t say anything.
In the afternoon, she wasn’t reassured, so she waited a little longer.
Seeing there really was no movement, she then brought the family of three into the space.
Now, everyone in the family knew about it.
Without secrets, she felt a burden lifted.
Her parents knew her concerns and considerations and didn’t say anything.
Once in the space, everyone knew time was precious, so they didn’t waste any.
The house had reserved rooms for her parents, much larger than those in Lushan Garden.
The furniture inside was also much bigger, and the wardrobes were more spacious.
Qin Yue liked it very much and hurried over to tidy up.
The clothes that had been sorted out earlier, along with other various items, were put into the room.
In addition, bedding sets were laid out in several rooms, with quilts and pillows prepared.
Jhiang Xingzhi wasn’t idle either. There were electric tricycles in the courtyard for transporting food supplies like rice, flour, and cooking oil.
All of these were stored in the room next to the front corridor, and these physically demanding tasks were certainly his to do.
Jhiang Yuan also started to organize the clothes from the walk-in closet, as there were rooms specifically for clothes here.
Xiao Nuan also helped out, liking the place very much and not running around aimlessly.
The family divided the work clearly, each busily engaged in their tasks.
However, they came out at five, after spending just over an hour.
It wasn’t for any other reason, just that when those people came in, they were too many to count specifically.
Now that so many had suddenly left, no one knew if anyone was left behind.
If someone was lying in wait, they would definitely take action at night.
She couldn’t stand by and let that happen, so she had to come back to keep watch.
Since lunch was eaten late, she wasn’t very hungry at the moment.
Qin Yue took out some tomatoes from the space, gathered everyone around the electric heater, and invited them to eat together.
Besides, the cultivation in the space sparked quite a discussion.
"Daughter, the backyard is not small either, why haven’t you planted anything there?"
"I just haven’t had the chance yet, Dad. You’ll have to work hard later."
Jhiang Yuan, holding binoculars and watching the front, didn’t even turn her head.
"Don’t worry, your old dad may not be good at other things, but I’ve been farming all my life.
Actually, you should plant crops like corn that grow tall and don’t require much care in the backyard."
Upon hearing this, Jhiang Yuan immediately felt a sense of regret.
"It’s too late for this batch; I’ve run out of seeds, I’ve planted them all."
Indeed, having them close to the edge would be somewhat bothersome.
The cornstalks would grow very tall, blocking the view from the corridor and the opposite house.
"What’s planted is planted; we’ll talk about it later. I see you’ve planted quite a few sweet potatoes. If not, we can plant sweet potatoes in the backyard this year!"
Umm, what does that mean?
"Dad, our family, well, doesn’t have many sweet potatoes left."
Previously when she was cooking with firewood, she would roast a few. Aside from what was used, most have been eaten already.
Mainly because she had only bought some from the vegetable platform, and that wasn’t much.
"No need. Those you planted have produced quite a few slips. We can use those, right?"
"Ah?"
Jhiang Yuan expressed doubt, clearly a bit confused.
Jhiang Xingzhi, however, was calm and smug.
"Daughter, you haven’t done much farming, and we didn’t make you work back at home, so naturally, you wouldn’t know.
Sweet potatoes can grow from slips. We just need to loosen the soil and form ridges and furrows.
Then we dig holes on top and plant the slips directly..."
