SRTT Chapter 10.1

She wouldn’t be used as a granary for others, right?

Ruan Ning was thinking wildly downstairs. She became more determined to help the brother and sister stock up on supplies, while she could also collect some for herself.

She had already reserved 20,000 yuan.

The two siblings quickly carried the buckets upstairs, and then the three of them went up together for the second time.

Cheng Jikuan still carried two buckets of water.

Ruan Ning felt that she should exercise more, but she was afraid that she couldn’t handle one bucket of water, so she discussed with Cheng Jili that the two of them would carry 9 floors each.

Ruan Ning went first.

This bucket of water weighed about 36 catties. Ruan Ning took a deep breath first, but she almost failed to pick it up after squatting down. She used all her strength to carry the bucket to the third floor with great difficulty.

Sweating all over.

Cheng Jili couldn’t stand it anymore: “Ning Ning, how about we carry 3 floors at a time and then take turns?”

Ruan Ning also felt that she had reached her limit, so she nodded and gave the bucket to Cheng Jili.

Cheng Jili lifted it with one hand.

Because Ruan Ning was slow, the two of them arrived much slower than Cheng Jikuan.

He motioned for Cheng Jili to put the bucket of water at the door of 1801 and said: “You two take a ten-minute break, and then we’ll go to the supermarket together.”

After last night’s panic buying, the small supermarkets downstairs were already out of stock. If they wanted to buy something, they had to go to the nearby big supermarket.

Ruan Ning knew that the two siblings were accommodating her. Probably because they saw that it was not easy for a little girl like her to live alone. Otherwise, they would stock up much faster without her.

Ten minutes later, Ruan Ning went out carrying the folding bicycle she had stocked up.

Cheng Jili was surprised and asked: “Ning Ning, do you have a bicycle too?”

Ruan Ning said: “It’s a long way to the supermarket later, so it’s more convenient to have a bicycle when we come back. This way, your brother doesn’t have to take the trouble to carry us.”

Cheng Jili’s eyes sparkled: “You’re right, then I will bring a bicycle too.”

This time, the two girls rode by themselves, so they moved faster.

As they got closer to the city, the number of scrapped cars on the road became more and more dense.

Because it was rush hour at that time, the road was blocked with cars, one next to the other. Some cars had their rear ends dented by large buses, and the ground was full of debris.

In just one day, the originally clean and tidy city became messy.

The area around the big supermarket was full of people. There was a long queue that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Seeing that they couldn’t get closer by bicycle, the three of them could only find a relatively close location to park and lock the bicycles together with three locks.

Ruan Ning frowned and said, “I hope no one will steal it.”

Cheng Jili hesitated, “It shouldn’t be possible. You can’t run away with three bicycles in broad daylight, and there are three locks.”

Ruan Ning nodded.

It took a while for the three of them to find the end of the queue.

Unexpectedly, a 40-year-old lean man who had just joined the queue came up to Cheng Jili with a large stack of small plastic stools and said, “Beauty, do you want to buy a small stool? The queue will take a long time. This stool is 20 yuan each. You will definitely not suffer a loss or be cheated.”

Cheng Jili observed the quality of the plastic stool and said dissatisfiedly: “This stool usually only costs seven or eight yuan a piece. You sell it for double the price. Be careful, I will sue you for making money from the national crisis!”

The monkey man clicked his tongue and said, “Little girl, if you don’t want to buy it, then don’t buy it. I am selling it because it is rare. Don’t I need to be paid for running errands?”

Although he said one thing without fear, he wanted to leave immediately.

Ruan Ning stopped him: “Wait a minute, I’ll buy three.”
