Chapter 50 49. Unexpected Surprise
In just one night, the air seemed to be much drier, and the grass buds on the ground became more vibrant.
The ground covered with intertwined grass roots no longer feels muddy and watery, but has a somewhat hard touch. At least if you wear white shoes today, they won't get dirty so easily.
Huaiyu looked at his watch, it was only half past seven!
She returned to the tree house and took out the solar lamp without saying a word.
The newly made clothes drying rack last night was still heavy, carrying its own moisture and the moisture on the outer bark. Huaiyu took out a plastic bag and wrapped it around the trunk, and quickly put the quilt on it to dry in the sun.
Even if the sun has not risen yet, this opportunity to take out the quilt for some air is rare after the continuous rain.
The black and blue floral quilt was placed on a simple clothes rack. It was swaying slightly in the morning breeze, as if even the color was much brighter.
The tree trunks protruding from both ends were not wasted, and the only five hangers were used to hang clothes.
Then the hay that was laid in the center of his stone bed was taken out layer by layer and laid out on the ground.
The temperature is slowly rising, and the sun is gradually showing its head. The warm golden morning light gradually greets the open grassland, and even the solar lamps are shining brightly.
Huaiyu surrounded the tree house and took off the green bricks holding down the waterproof tarpaulin. Then he found the right angle and pulled the tarp down bit by bit.
This work is very difficult due to the friction between the vines and the branches. But when the tarpaulin was all lifted up, visible to the naked eye, light shone through the gaps in the dry leaves.
The room instantly became bright, as if invisible water vapor was rising, and I no longer had to live in this humid hot and cold sauna.
Huaiyu smiled with satisfaction.
Only then did the morning broadcast finally begin.
[Today is April 3, 2066, sunny, air variability index 11...]
[...after many days of rain, sunny weather finally ushered in...]
[However, the pollution index of soil and water sources has increased, and the Anti-Pollution Headquarters reminds everyone...]
It’s sunny!
Huaiyu finally felt relieved and went back to the house to tidy up his backpack——
Take a basket of bean sprouts and keep another basket for yourself.
I brought a jar of pickled bracken and tore off a page to wrap some dried spicy wild onion segments. These were for Captain Zhou.
She put her backpack on her back, looked around, put paper and pens on her, and a few more plastic bags, and she was ready to go!
The basket on his back has not been so empty for a long time. Huaiyu looked at the piles of belongings outside the tree house, thought about it, and then told the Rose Corridor:
"I'm going out! Please take good care of your house - and you, Xiaotian, don't steal anything! Otherwise, I will dig into your house."
It's like two different faces.
Xiaotian poked his head out of the cave of his new home and screamed, "Zhizhi", and went back angrily.
......
The bus that turned here from the departure station of Jinyuan Community was already filled with many people. I guess it was rare for the sun to clear up after the rain, so everyone was holding back their energy to go out for a walk.
Therefore, even if buses now charge a fee, there are still many people on the bus.
Huaiyu carried the basket on his back and walked all the way to the end of the car before finally finding a seat.
Everyone was carrying baskets and bags. Her appearance was not unusual at all, but the place where she got on the bus was quite rare. Even the aunt she had met before recognized her:
"Girl, it's raining heavily, and the camp is near the Mountain and Rose Corridor. Are you afraid of living here?"
"Yes, your brother and the others must have been on missions these days, right?" Tsk, this thief didn’t let us live an easy life just after we settled down.”
"Oh, are you from the defense army? I just said why are you at this station..."
Huaiyu has grasped the main points of the aunts' chat. At this moment, he smiled shyly and said nothing. . So everyone quickly picked up the conversation again: "Stop asking, stop asking. What's the use of asking about this mission?"
"It's not easy. , It’s not easy anywhere... It’s just like that time in the south, it’s raining heavily outside and it’s raining lightly inside. The child has a rash all over his body.”
“Don’t mention it, forget about the rash. I’m also allergic, so why doesn’t he grab the allergy medicine for 50 cents a box?”
"Hey! We live high up, and the draft from all sides makes people catch colds."
"We are also high up, on the 27th floor! The old man at home found a lot of scrap furniture and came back to light the fire. A little better."
"There are many high-priced vegetable sellers in our community... Tsk, what's so great about growing vegetables at home?"
"That's right! The last time I saw a broken pot, it had such a big crack, and it was so expensive..."
"Our community just doesn't have serious market management, and it's too good at asking for random prices. . If I have the time, I would rather go to the pedestrian street to buy it.”
"Isn't it far away? Sometimes it's inconvenient to buy big things..."
Everyone talked a lot and sketched out a very vivid community life in front of Huaiyu.
As the bus drove toward the city center, more and more people were crowded on the bus. Not long after, it was stuffed like a can again, much like the scene when I came out of the administrative hall.
A few aunts in the back row were unable to move while holding the baskets. At this moment, they couldn’t help but complain again:
“There are so many buses in this city, why do they have to be on the same bus as us? Huh?”
"That's right! We went out for more than an hour, and they arrived just a few steps away..."
"I guess life is not going to be easy. Let's light a fire in that remote community and no one will come." They don't allow fires at home in this urban area..."
The car was swaying and bumping, and amid this swaying, the Hongsheng Trading Market finally arrived.
......
Huaiyu walked towards the testing station at the intersection with a familiar face. There was obviously a long line of people in front of her, but as soon as she showed up, there was a familiar staff member there. Came over and greeted:
"Sister! Come on, come on, sit here and wait for a while."
Huaiyu was startled, and then walked over naturally.
One of the busy staff members over there said, "Sister, come on, let's go into the office and talk."
After that, he opened the door of the next room.
Huaiyu walked in with a backpack on his back and listened attentively. No one protested or muttered outside, so it didn't interfere with everyone's progress.
Or, is it commonplace?
Then she was stunned and saw that there was a small detector inside the room, which looked more upscale than the one outside that looked like a security checkpoint.
The staff member pressed the switch, turned his head and smiled at her: "Here, give me the basket, I will test it for you first, and then you can go in through the side door. If you don't test it, there is a gate on this side. It doesn’t give out the test code.”
This is an unexpected surprise.
After all, there were so many people coming to the pedestrian street today, and there was a long queue. She had to wait there, and even though it was very efficient, it would still take at least half an hour.
Huaiyu put down his backpack and couldn't help but smile at the other party.
Update 2, good night in advance.
