Chapter 11: Water and Power Cutoff(2/2)
"The supermarket has been closed." He told them the new information: "The official said that supplies will be distributed uniformly."
"When will it be sent?"
"On Mondays and Fridays, they will use helicopters to drop supplies on the rooftops of each building at 9 p.m."
"Isn't today Monday?" Yuan Chuan approached the railing next to him and looked down: "No wonder it's so noisy downstairs."
"Let's go upstairs first." Zhou Wenwen's eyes wandered around the couple, and her delicate face raised a smile: "You can get a good seat on the rooftop early."
Chi Yue said nothing.
She heard the footsteps coming from downstairs, turned around and took Wen Qizhou's arm, and stepped on the stairs in front of her again.
Not long after they arrived on the rooftop, the residents of Building 2 began to walk upstairs one after another due to the help of neighbors and friends.
Young people, old and young, flocked to the wide open space like a tide, scattered in twos and threes in various areas. Occasionally, they would meet acquaintances and say hello and chat for a while.
Nearly a hundred people, blowing in the hot summer evening breeze, counted the hours, hoping that the helicopter delivering supplies would appear.
At a quarter past nine, the sound of propeller rotation came from afar, and a military green helicopter hovered in the sky.
The residents have a tacit understanding to leave open space.
When the huge wooden box fell steadily and the helicopter flew to another building, two people couldn't wait to step forward.
"Don't squeeze!" said the middle-aged woman holding a loudspeaker in her hand: "It is written on the wooden box that each family can receive four bottles of mineral water, four bags of instant noodles and two bags of compressed biscuits."
"Nothing else?"
"Isn't this fooling people? How long can four bottles of water and four bags of instant noodles last? It's not enough for a large family!"
"If he pays such a small amount, he might as well let us buy it in the supermarket. Even if the purchase is restricted, it will be better than the current situation."
"I suggest that the mineral water be distributed per person! This is the fairest way and everyone can drink the water."
