After eating and drinking, Ling Xue started to use leather tubes connected to the faucets to fill water into the water tanks. She connected one to the kitchen, two to the bathroom, and one to the balcony. She filled four water tanks at the same time, which was quite efficient.
After filling up the water, Ling Xue washed up and rested.
It had been an exhausting day. Even as she was about to fall asleep, she was still worried about whether the property management would come to check if there was anything wrong with her water meter tomorrow.
The alarm clock woke Ling Xue up at five o'clock the next day. She didn't dare to stay in bed, so she got up quickly and got herself ready.
In order to make work more convenient, Ling Xue also specially found a short-sleeved sports suit with pants that just stopped below the knees, which was both convenient and cool to wear.
Ling Xue didn't eat breakfast either. She went out and asked Aunt Zhang to open the door for her to go to the electric car. It had been charging overnight, so it should be fully charged.
Aunt Zhang had also gotten up. When Ling Xue went over, she and Uncle Zhang were having breakfast, and Xiaobao was still sleeping.
"Aunt Zhang, I'm going to get the electric bike. Can you open the door for me?"
Aunt Zhang quickly put down the bowl, wiped her hands and walked out.
"You're going out so early? Have you eaten yet?"
Uncle Zhang saw Ling Xue and invited her to have breakfast with him: "If you haven't eaten yet, come and have breakfast with us. Your aunt made millet porridge this morning. It's good for your stomach!"
Ling Xue waved her hand and refused: "No, go early and come back early, otherwise it will be uncomfortable when the sun comes out!"
Uncle Zhang stopped trying to persuade her and just warned her, "Be careful when you go alone. It's not safe out there these days!"
Ling Xue and Aunt Zhang walked out together, and she didn't forget to reply, "I see. Thanks for the reminder, Uncle Zhang!"
Ling Xue got on the electric tricycle and rode away.
Checking the battery level, it was full. Ling Xue was extremely satisfied: "This new electric car is different. It has plenty of power, charges quickly, and is easy to use!"
What she wants to buy today are toiletries and sanitary products. Other large items cannot be packed, so she will have to come back next time.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter now, and Ling Xue doesn't want to faint outside from heatstroke again.
She would buy some common medicines such as cold medicine, fever reducers, anti-inflammatories, summer heat medicine, mosquito repellent, swelling and pain relievers, and treatments for injuries. Little by little, she would accumulate, and even though she didn't have a dedicated source, the little she had accumulated was enough for her needs.
When she arrived at the wholesale store of toiletries, Ling Xue found that there were quite a lot of people there. It seemed that more and more people were starting to stock up.
The country has not released any information. If you are willing to stockpile goods, the country will not stop you. If you are not willing to stockpile, the country will not encourage you either. It all depends on your personal wishes.
In this situation, ordinary people have different choices, and those who come to stock up are those who are more aware of the crisis.
At this time, the general idea is to stock up as much as possible. If the temperature drops in the future, the worst that can happen is that these things can be kept at home and used slowly.
But if the temperature continues to be this hot or gets higher, they won't be in a state of panic.
Ling Xue chose a brand that she used frequently before, with guaranteed quality. She bought a batch of shampoo, shower gel, face cream, facial cleanser, lotion, various essences, facial masks, soap, laundry detergent, washing powder, etc. as long as this brand had daily necessities.
After scanning the code to pay, they started loading the goods onto the tricycle. It was definitely impossible to load everything in one trip, so Ling Xue borrowed a small space from someone else, marked her goods and stored them there first.
She told the staff, "The car can't get in, it's parked outside. I can only use a tricycle to transport it one trip at a time!"
