Chapter 971: Food Distribution
They don't wear masks either. They drink when they want to drink and go clubbing when they want to go clubbing. They are not affected at all. In their minds, this small virus is nothing.
At first, they were just strolling around the streets, but later, as their numbers grew, they started rushing into the supermarket to buy things for free. The supermarket staff initially tried to stop them, but after being beaten up, they became more obedient and crouched against the wall, watching them carry away computers, sofas, and anything else they could.
Compared to the chaos abroad, China seemed to have paused, with few people on the streets. It also happened to be Chinese New Year, and everyone was rushing into the city with their families to pay New Year's greetings to their wealthy relatives. However, many of those who came to pay New Year's greetings were stopped before they could return to collect their gifts, and were unable to return, which led to a surge in the city's population.
The population explosion has led to a shortage of food. There is no such thing as volunteers yet, and everything is taken over by the army.
The government dispatched hundreds of cars, all of which were new cars that had just come out of the factory. The cars were honking their horns and loaded with rice, flour and vegetables.
These vehicles have their own working areas. Whenever they drive to the door of a house within the area, the soldiers in the vehicle will put some rice, flour, vegetables and a few fruits at the door. After knocking on the door, they will drive away and will never contact the owner of the house.
The owners of every household are now surprised to see the food, vegetables and fruits that have just been brought into the house, especially those who don’t have much food at home.
Li Zhipeng is a worker in the steelmaking workshop of a steel plant. He has been working there for more than ten years. His parents are still alive, and his wife Chen Chunhua has given birth to two children for him, a son and a daughter. The eldest is eight years old, and the second is just five years old.
The day before yesterday, my uncle's family of six from the countryside came to visit his parents to wish them a happy new year. Unexpectedly, the government announced a city lockdown yesterday morning, and no one was allowed to go out.
Now I'm really at a loss. Although I prepared some food and vegetables before the New Year, it was only enough for the family to eat for half a month. After seven or eight days, half of the food was left. Now my uncle's family of six has arrived, and the food can only last for a few days. Just when I was worrying, there was a knock on the door.
The family was very confused. Didn’t the government forbid visiting? Why did someone come knocking on the door? Li Zhipeng put on a mask and opened the door a crack to look out, but he didn’t see anyone after looking for a long time.
This makes me very confused. What is going on? I knocked on the door but no one came. Is it haunted in broad daylight?
When I opened the door and was about to curse, I saw three black plastic bags on the ground. I looked closely and found that one bag contained rice, another bag contained flour, and the last bag contained four tomatoes, a cabbage, four apples and two oranges.
Li Zhipeng was confused. What was going on? Who sent this person here? Why didn't he let anyone see him and just left after knocking on the door?
Standing at the door and looking into the distance, he really saw a car. The people in the car were carrying things down, knocking on the doors of every household, and then putting them at the door and leaving.
He was overjoyed. It turned out that the government was sending them food. This was really great. They were worried about not having enough food.
He quickly carried the three plastic bags into the house, closed the door, and shouted, "Dad, Mom, Xiaoru, come and see."
His shout caused more than a dozen people in the room to run out. My uncle asked, "Zhipeng, what's wrong? Why are you yelling?"
Li Zhipeng pointed to the three bags on the ground and said, "Mom, Dad, and Uncle, look, someone knocked on the door just now. I went out to check and there was no one there. There were only these three bags on the ground. I looked in the distance and saw a car delivering food door to door. Now we don't have to worry about running out of food."
"Uncle, you can live here peacefully now. We have food!"
Everyone in the room was overjoyed when they heard this, especially Li Zhipeng's uncle's family, who came to wish his sister and brother-in-law a happy new year. They were locked up in the city and were worried that their sister's family would starve because they didn't have enough food after their family arrived. They didn't expect the government to actually distribute food to them. Oh, city people are so nice! No wonder people in the countryside are trying so hard to get into the city.
