The sun hangs brightly in the sky. This is the last sun we can see on the last day before the end of the world.

Jingshu's family came to Aijia Supermarket for the 17th day in a row. An S-shaped queuing barrier had been placed at the entrance since the day before yesterday. The parking area was full of people queuing. A few people came out and a few people entered outside.

Maintain order in the supermarket and avoid causing chaos.

Jingshu's family waited in line for more than half an hour and still didn't get through the security gate.

"Mom, don't take the rice and let's go home. It's already 30 degrees in winter. The sun is poisonous and there are so many people and the air is not circulating. You can see that several old people have suffered from heat stroke." Jing's father wiped his sweat, surrounded by people.

Fortunately for those waiting in line, my daughter had the foresight to bring two high stools to the old man. Everyone around looked at him with envy.

"On the last day, I received free rice, and if I persisted, I would get air conditioning when I entered the supermarket." In addition to being hot, Jing Nai was also very energetic. For this reason, Jing Nai was very strange. She could feel that her body was getting better and better.

As for Mr. Jing, he was having a lively chat with a young man in his twenties.

Master Jing: I can chat with anyone for five dollars, but I can’t chat with my son.

Jingshu closed her eyes and squeezed the pomegranate in space. She held a large glass of refrigerated watermelon juice in her hand and kept sipping it through a straw. Jingshu said that she had been drinking for half an hour but she still hadn't finished it. He was confused.

Seeing that she was greedy, Jingshu stuck out her tongue and then handed it over to Dad Jing to finish the drink.

It took another ten minutes for the family to pass the security check and enter the large supermarket. There was a sea of ​​people inside. It happened to be Saturday that almost all the family, old and young, were here. There were people asking for prices, chatting, crying and asking for snacks. When they met acquaintances, they would chat for a while.

Yes, the loudspeaker in the supermarket plays a recording saying that you should hurry up and leave after shopping.

At this moment, people still have relaxed smiles on their faces, thinking about buying more food to stockpile on the last day. After receiving the free rice, they will basically carry five or six bags of rice.

With a grain limit of 500 yuan, you can also buy six or seven 10kg bags of ordinary rice. An ordinary person's family has vegetables and snacks, and occasionally goes out to restaurants and orders takeaways. A 10kg bag of rice will last for several months.

Buying six or seven bags is not a problem for most people to last for a year. But without using non-staple food and snacks of vegetables and fruits, the food will definitely be eaten very quickly.

The supermarket has a sign saying: All items are available in unlimited quantities! The confidence is high, but the prices are not low.

There are long queues in the pork, beef and mutton section. The prices are rising higher and higher these days. I am afraid that if the price rises for a few more days, I will not be able to afford it, so I am thinking about buying a few more kilograms.

The prices in the aquatic and seafood area have also increased a lot. After all, you can buy them alive and keep them for half a month so you can eat them fresh at any time.

Logically speaking, the absence of sunlight for a month will have little impact on meat and aquatic products, but as vegetables decrease and prices rise, demand will naturally shift to meat and aquatic products, and even non-staple food and snacks. The demand for these types of products will increase, and prices will naturally increase.

Snack foods have increased by about 10%, and instant noodles have increased by a few cents.

There are more people in the vegetable section, and everyone buys basket by basket, but no matter how much they take out, they will make up for it instantly. The country has made preparations for months in advance and has been catching corruption for months, just because it is afraid that people will hoard it when the time comes.

When grain is out of stock, merchants bid up prices, leading to market chaos and panic.

Blockage is worse than sparseness. Chinese people like to stock up on food every time they encounter a disaster, right? Then stock up until you feel safe. Stock up until no matter how much you buy, it will still be enough as usual, and everyone will naturally feel at ease.

There is only one warehouse in Guangda Cabbage, and everyone buys it sack by sack. Cabbage is durable, lasts for a long time and is nutritious, so of course many people buy it.

"It's so embarrassing. A piece of Chinese cabbage costs 12 yuan, whereas before it was only 2 yuan." Jing Nai doesn't know words, but she knows numbers anyway.

"Didn't you say you can't go up in price?" Mr. Jing heard on the news every day that this kind of thing should be reported.

Dad Jing shook his head: "The price of vegetables has gone up in the past ten days. The price increase every day is normal. It goes up by a few cents every day. It has gone up. Just watch, the price will become more expensive in a few days."

12 yuan is really cheap, in a few months it will be hard to find even 1,000 yuan.

After receiving the rice, we walked around the supermarket again. Firstly, there were too many people and we had to wait for a long time to check out. Secondly, we found that there was nothing to buy. Jingshu and her family went home to pack things for Jing Naiye and Jingye. The couple wanted

Go and stay at Third Aunt Jinglai's house for a few days.

In fact, it is to separate Dad Jing and Master Jing for a while...

The old people have all experienced the famine years. They called their three aunts a few days ago. Jing Nai asked them to store more grain and order a variety of vegetables to take precautions. If it doesn't snow in the winter, the harvest next year will not be good.

Food prices will continue to rise.

Aunt Jingpan said that she was in town and was growing vegetables at home. She had exchanged apples for a batch of grain in the past few days and asked Jingnai when she would come home and she would bring some grain.

The second aunt Jingzhao said that she also wanted to stock up more, but she was short of money.

Master Jing was embarrassed when he turned on the hands-free phone. Jingshu and his family were all there. After hanging up the phone, Father Jing asked Jingshu to pay 100,000 yuan. However, Father Jing’s money to withdraw his shares was borrowed by Jingshu and kept with him.

Bought gasoline and other supplies.

Third aunt Jinglai is staying temporarily with her daughter in a two-bedroom apartment in Wucheng. She has been doing shopping every day these days. She said that she also bought the share of Jingnai and Master Jing, so that the old man can live there.

"Grandma, if we stay here for a few days, you should come back."

"Okay, I have to help you with the live broadcast after the dark day is over. After living here for so long, I have to go see your third aunt and your cousin Wu Youai." The old couple packed their simple luggage and took them with them.

Several jars of pickles, canned vegetables, and spicy beef jerky were sent over by Dad Jing.

Jingshu also gave the old people some Guiling ointment mixed with diluted spiritual springs, and asked them to eat a little every day. This life was so close, and the spiritual springs were there to change the bodies of her grandparents, they would never die again this time.

In the empty villa, Jingshu was left alone rocking on the deck chair in front of the fish pond. Jingshu's father set up a parasol. Jingshu drank shaved ice yogurt and basked in the sun. From time to time, she dropped the bait and watched the ferocious fish snatch it.

The food is...so enjoyable.

Maybe, it really is the last time in this life to see the sun.

Jingshu was a little disappointed. She lay down until the sun went down and then completely closed the tempered glass cover to prevent it from being buried in the soil tonight. She took a lot of photos to take as a souvenir before going to cook. Dinner was chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised kelp and black pork chops, and clear soup.

The portion of stir-fried lettuce was very large, and the whole family ate it up.

Jing's mother has been in a bad mood these days and went to bed early. It must be because Yu Caini made her wear small shoes again at work, Jingshu thought.

Jing's dad freed up his hands and put the pots and dishes in the automatic dishwasher. He had to praise Jingshu for her thoughtfulness every day, otherwise it would have to be his job.

After checking the water source, food, poultry, etc. for the last time, Jingshu began to practice the Rubik's Cube space all night long. She really couldn't sleep. In this life, she would witness the end of the world.

Later, people designated January 1, 2023, the day when the sun loses sunlight, as the first day of the end of the world.
