Chapter 738: Start Preparing
s privately investigated you. Miss trusts you so much and wouldn't stoop to such measures. After the items arrived, we were worried that someone might be fabricating facts to sabotage the alliance bet...After finishing the cake, Lianyi returned to the rental house near the school with Wei Zi in a taxi because she thought it was too late to go back.
This trip went very smoothly because neither Dong Zicheng nor Mu Mianmian stopped them. Sun Peng even personally sent the two of them to a taxi.
After Ripple and Wei Zi separated, they both returned to their own residences and began sorting through their belongings. Ripple put everything she could use into her storage space. She had only slept for four hours, but at six o'clock sharp, she woke up.
The next two days will be windy, then there will be a downpour. She lives in an old residential building, the tallest one is only six stories high. On the tenth day of the rain, her place was flooded, so she has to move.
The preferred place was Yuan Chongming's residence. The original owner had heard from Jia Yao, a young boy, that he and his cousin lived in Shanshui Huating Garden, a high-end residential area that was also the home of Yuan Chongming's sister.
After daybreak, Lian Yi went straight to a real estate agent to look for a house in Shanshui Huating Community, and it had to be on the 10th floor or higher.
"Yu student, there is a set of houses here on the 15th floor. It's one elevator and two units. The house has one bedroom and two halls, which is very suitable for you students to live in."
The real estate agent introduced diligently.
"Okay, take me to see it now. If it's alright, I want to move in tomorrow."
"So urgent"
"I can't help it. I used to live in an old district where the security wasn't good. Lately, I've felt like I'm being followed, and I'm a bit scared, so I want to move out as soon as possible."
Ripples said deliberately.
"So that's how it is, women's intuition is always right. It seems someone has been eyeing you, moving out sooner was the right thing to do. I'll take you to look at some houses now."
The intermediary was a woman. As soon as she heard about the ripples, she readily agreed to help and drove her to see the houses herself.
After running around for so long, he had actually managed to get everything done. Ripples only paid two thousand yuan as a deposit and then explained:
"Big sister, I'll go return the old house now. After I get the money, I'll make up the rest. Anyway, I can't move in these two days. What do you think"
“That’s fine, I’ll talk to the landlord. Just make sure you pay the deposit and three months’ rent as soon as possible.”
Okay, okay, thank you, Aunt Sun.
After separating, Ripples contacted the landlord of the old house and managed to keep this month's rent. She then easily got her deposit back and moved out of the old neighborhood.
In the afternoon, a text message on my phone alerted that a super typhoon will land. There will be strong winds and heavy rain for the next three days. I hope people can take precautions and stock up on food appropriately.
Ripple knew this was the harbinger of disaster, those slow to react would be thoroughly drowned in the three months of relentless rain.
She decisively turned towards the largest supermarket and conveniently called Wei Zi.
"Wei Zi, meet at Walmart, I need to buy some groceries. The typhoon is about to land."
"Okay, I'm going to buy some food too."
Wei Zi agreed very readily.
Thirty minutes later, the two met at the supermarket entrance.
The supermarket wasn't very crowded. It was mostly elderly people, buying up groceries in preparation for the typhoon. Young people hadn't finished work yet, so it wasn't too busy.
Lian Yi bought mostly pre-made food, like sausages, pan-fried dumplings, braised beef, shrimp balls, crab sticks, and steamed buns, baozi, flower rolls, and pancakes. She took whatever caught her eye. Fruits and vegetables were also a must.
An hour later, the two of them left the supermarket with bags full of groceries. Wei Zi wiped the sweat from her forehead and said:
"You really screwed Dong Zicheng over this time, what a big splurge!"
"Well, that feels good spending money like this. I'm going to spend it all. Don't take it lightly either, stock up on some food. My right eyelid has been twitching lately, I have a bad feeling about something."
Ripple reminded Wei Zi in a new way, this person had given her half a bag of rice when the original body was trapped in the old house, helping her out. It's just that after the original body was taken away by Dong Zicheng and the others, she never saw her again.
"You're quite superstitious, aren't you"
Wei Zi smiled and said.
"It's always better to be prepared!"
"I know! I didn't buy less following you this time either."
After two sentences, the two parted ways.
The ripples reached Shanshui Huating Garden, and successfully entered Building No. 4. It directly moved into Unit A on the 15th floor.
She brought out all the old furniture and cookware from the space, and after arranging it, she started making heavily scented dishes. Red braised beef, red braised lion's head meatballs, spicy hot pot, stir-fried spicy chicken - anything she had in the fridge, she cooked up and put back into the space.
After all, when it got to the later stages, if anyone made heavy-flavored food, they'd definitely attract a pack of hungry wolves. She needed to prepare in advance.
These are all supplies she hoarded for her previous self, after all, she wouldn't be around to use them in the end.
I was busy until the evening, when the sky darkened and the wind picked up. However, it was only a level four wind at this time, not very strong. Commuters walked against the wind, and there were still many cars and people on the road.
The ripples continued to cook, then prepared for the evening's free shopping action.
At this moment, the doorbell rang. She turned down the heat on the stove, continuing to simmer the chicken, and then went to open the door.
Opening the door, standing before him was a little boy. It was none other than young Tang Jiayao.
The little boy, dressed in a sailor suit, opened his mouth somewhat shyly:
"Sister, hello! I'm Tan Jia Yao who lives in Building B across from you."
"Hello, Tan Jiayao, is there anything I can help you with"
Ripples crouched down and, maintaining eye contact with the other person, smiled and asked.
"I'm hungry, but the adults in my house haven't come back yet. I smelled the delicious aroma of your cooking. Could I please buy a dinner"
Tan Jia Yao asked a little embarrassedly.
Where are your parents
"My dad and mom went to heaven. I won't see them for a very long time. My uncle lives with me now, but he is very busy so he comes home late."
Tan Jia Yao tried his best to organize his words and explain, after all, he was just a five-year-old child. There are some things that adults wouldn't tell him.
The ripples understand, it should be that both of the child's parents have died unexpectedly, otherwise they wouldn't let their uncle raise the child.
"I just moved in today as well, and to celebrate my housewarming, I made some delicious food. Would you like to join me for a housewarming meal Come on in!"
Ripple generously invited the children in.
Through her child, she could build a relationship with the big shot next door and would be able to repay her debt later.
Thank you, sister!
Tan Jia Yao said softly, feeling that he was in good luck today and wouldn't have to wait for his uncle hungry.
Lian Yi's hands and feet were quick, she made a bowl of chicken noodle soup for Tan Jia Yao, with a fried egg and two greens nestled inside. She also made a cold chicken salad and stir-fried some lotus slices, and the two of them ate happily and noisily.
After a bowl of noodles, both big and small sighed contentedly. After finishing the cold chicken and stir-fried lotus slices, the two became friends.
When Lián Yī sent Tānjiaoyào back home, she also gave their neighbors a large plate of cold chicken as a gift.
After tidying up the kitchen, ripples fell asleep, only to be woken up again by the doorbell. When she opened the door, it was Yuan Chongming, the benefactor and cool guy from the original owner.continued asking questions."Chief Huang, we would trouble you to review this individual."Upon entering Director Huang's office, smiles immediately appeared on both their faces."I know, Lao Zhao told m...
