I survived with my sister in the doomsday

Chapter 73 Xiaobai Stockpiles Supplies

Such a large item needs to be delivered to the door, so I filled in the address, said hello to Brother Xiao, and went home with Lin Lin.

On the way back, I passed by a school, which was a school near the Mid-Levels Base. Students were actually in class.

I suddenly thought that it was not a good idea for my younger sister Zhenzhu to stay at home every day and not go to school. Now that life has stabilized, it is time for her to go to school. She is not like Feicui and I, who both don’t like to study and have just got a college diploma. My younger sister should be in the third grade of junior high school in the second half of this year, and will be in high school next year. She used to be an excellent student and ranked among the top three in the school. If the earthquake disaster hadn’t happened, she would have easily been admitted to the key high school in the city. She should be the child in our family who has the best chance of going to college!

I asked Lin Lin to stop the car, and I got out to visit the admissions office of the school's academic affairs department to inquire about it. This school is a private high school in the Mid-Levels, also known as the aristocratic school, and the school selection fee is 100,000 yuan.

Oh, how did he know that I just earned 100,000 yuan?

But I told the director of the admissions office about my sister's situation. The director was a woman in her thirties who wore glasses and was well-dressed. She looked like a dean of studies. I could see that people like this were psychologically afraid of entering the dean of studies' office since they were young. She hesitated and said, "It would be difficult to admit you if you haven't finished junior high school. Even if you can afford the school selection fee, the school will not consider you."

Seeing that there was no one in her office, I suddenly had an idea and took out a box of top-quality Taohuaji Dong'e Ejiao from my backpack and handed it to her.

She was surprised and asked me what I was doing. Her eyes stayed on the donkey-hide gelatin and kept looking at it.

I flattered her: "Sister, I think you must be overworked by the students, so I give this to you to replenish your blood." Then I whispered to her to accept it quickly.

Her eyes changed instantly, she looked at me very happily, and told me to bring the child in tomorrow to see her, and if the child could pass the exam, she would approve to take the child in.

When I got back to Lin Lin's car, she asked me if we agreed to accept the pearls. I said I should go home and discuss this with my grandfather and my younger sister first.

After arriving home, I first charged Xiao Bingguo with the charging station. Soon the electrical appliances were delivered to our door. Each family got one refrigerator, freezer, TV and washing machine. There was only one set of stove and range hood installed in my house, but now the stove is basically useless because there is no natural gas supply. It was something that Brother Xiao gave us for free.

Grandpa used the steamer and cooker he had bought earlier to prepare dinner. He said he spent thirty yuan on a cabbage at the supermarket downstairs, and also got some pork to stew the cabbage and pork. Let's have a simple meal tonight.

I mean, who can afford to eat such delicious food every day? Lin Lin and Xiao Bai didn't show off and took their bowls to eat two bowls of rice each, and even shouted that the food was delicious. These two animals are easy to feed.

Xiaobai said that he would go to the market early the next morning to continue stocking up, and would drive the truck converted from the RV downstairs to bring back the goods, and asked Lin Lin to go with him.

I discussed with my grandfather about my little sister Zhenzhu's schooling. I asked Zhenzhu if she wanted to go to school. Zhenzhu said of course she wanted to go to school. I said that she needed to take a test before admission and asked her if she could pass the test. Zhenzhu confidently answered me that it was no problem and she had never fallen behind in her studies. In fact, her school had already taught the third-year junior high school courses when she was in the second year of junior high school. She had confidence in herself.

In this case, I just earned 300,000 yuan and gave 100,000 yuan to Xiaobai and 100,000 yuan to Linlin. The remaining 100,000 yuan will be used as a school selection fee for my sister. My wallet is empty again...

Lin Lin gave me 100,000 yuan and said that he thought Xiao Bai was right and we should also stock up on supplies. He gave me his money to use together. I said, how can that be possible? Brothers should still settle accounts. Lin Lin was dissatisfied and replied that since you treat me as a brother, don't worry about these things.

After dinner, Xiaobai became energetic again. His Bingguo electric car was fully charged, so he planned to go shopping again. Lin Lin accompanied him. My little sister Zhenzhu also wanted to go out for a walk, saying that she didn't like the underwear I bought for her.

I was too lazy to go out, so I asked Lin Lin and Xiao Bai to take good care of my sister, and the three of them went out together.

The supplies Xiaobai stocked up this time were very special. He went to an outdoor goods store and actually bought a speedboat and a rubber boat. The store was having a sale on jackets and cotton-padded clothes because the weather has been very hot recently and the temperature has never dropped. Although October is coming soon, it doesn't feel like autumn at all. I guess the owner of the outdoor store is short of money and is having crazy discounts. As I paid Xiaobai back 100,000 yuan, he currently has more money on hand. He bought two sets of jackets for each of us, one single set and one cotton set. Oh, and he also bought one set for his sister.

He even bought down quilts, air-conditioning quilts, and cotton quilts. I said, why did he buy so many quilts?

He said confidently that it would be very cold at home in winter without heating. This woke me up. I thought so too. Now various living facilities are not complete and there is no guarantee that there will be no heating in the future. People who do not plan for the future will inevitably worry. I have to buy some things in the next few days.

He was afraid of running out of electricity, so he bought an alcohol stove, alcohol blocks, a portable gas stove, many candles, windproof kerosene lamps, and rechargeable batteries!

Now that he had a freezer and a refrigerator, he bought a lot of bags of frozen foods that were suitable for refrigeration, such as steak, lamb chops, pork chops, pork ribs, wontons, dumplings, fresh shrimps, etc. He even passed by a barbecue restaurant and bought a dozen boxes of charcoal from them and placed them at home, saying that he would go find some large pieces of coal to store when he had time.

When I looked over, I saw that his house had become a grocery store.

My younger sister Pearl also bought some things a girl needs, such as underwear, pajamas, flowery socks, hiking shoes, conditioner, comb, mirror, school bag and some school supplies, hairpins and hair ties, face cream and hand cream. Anyway, she spent all the one thousand yuan she was given.

Feicui saw all these things nearby and wondered why a girl needed so many things. She seemed to feel that she was not a girl. Yes, I saw that she didn't even like to wash her face all day, and her face was much rougher than mine.

The next day, Xiaobai got up early in the morning and asked Lin Lin to drive him to the farmer's market at the base halfway up the mountain. They bought winter melon, lotus root, radish, eggplant, beans, tomatoes, etc., each weighing more than ten kilograms. I thought that since he had no space, the vegetables that could not be put in the refrigerator would rot.

Because of his strong sense of crisis, my grandfather couldn't sit still. He said to me seriously: Xiaobai has been hoarding things recently, and he is a little worried that natural disasters will come. It is true that the drought has lasted too long. Such strange weather may really cause something serious. My grandfather has experienced the famine years. He said that hoarding things is better than having nothing. After we finish the work of my little sister's schooling today, we will go to the market to stock up some food tomorrow.

My grandfather and I took my younger sister to Tsinghua High School in Mid-Levels to complete the admission procedures. I gave the gift yesterday so I couldn't forget it today. Today I gave that woman a box of premium bird's nest. She enthusiastically helped me smooth out all the links in the school and gave my younger sister a set of test papers. After my younger sister finished answering the papers, she put her in Class A without even looking at them.

The school is more than ten minutes' drive from our home. We used to have a school bus, but now due to the natural disaster, the facilities are not complete and the school bus has been abolished. But my little sister Zhenzhu needs someone to pick her up from school. I thought of Feicui, a free person at home, and took Feicui out in the afternoon to teach her how to drive in an open place outside the wild.

After practicing for only a short while, Feicui said she had learned to drive, and when no one was around she took out her cool concept sports car. When she saw that the sports car had little battery left, she had to drive home to charge it before driving out to play.

I actually feel a little dizzy looking at this dazzling purple concept sports car. I always feel like something will happen to it under the hands of Jadeite...
