Chapter 7 Chapter 7
The results of Qiao Songzhi's physical examination were good. Except for not checking blood sugar and blood lipids, everything that should be checked was checked. There were no major problems. There were some minor problems. Just prescribe some Chinese medicine to treat them. The biggest problem is still an old problem, insufficient blood supply caused by cerebral arteriosclerosis.
It was possible, but this disease requires long-term medication to prevent stroke. The hospital prescribed a month's supply. Qiao Qingqing consulted carefully and learned that as long as she kept good control, the dosage would generally not change, so she decided to go back to the pharmacy.
Purchasing, buying a twenty-year supply of it.
In the car going home, Qiao Songzhi asked: "Why do you suddenly tell Sheng'an about space for no reason? Have you forgotten your grandmother's instructions?" She was a little excited, "Don't use treasures to test people's hearts. People's hearts are classics.
He cannot bear to be tempted."
"Mom, of course I remember it, so I haven't mentioned it to Sheng An at all in these years, not even after we got married, but now the time has come."
"What time?"
"The end of the world is coming."
Qiao Songzhi was stunned: "What's the matter?"
"It's the end of the world, and there will be many disasters. So I bought a lot of things, and I need space to install them. Sheng'an and I are husband and wife. We don't usually need the space. At most, I can just make it easier to install things when I go back to my hometown to see you.
It's different now, I don't want to hide it from him."
"What kind of disaster is not a disaster? Did you stay up late watching a movie last night?"
"Mom, listen to me." Qiao Qingqing told her mother what she had said to her husband last night.
Looking at her daughter, Qiao Songzhi felt worried and touched her forehead with the back of her hand: "Are you under too much pressure from work? I told you, the school district's housing mom will help you, and I sold my house and shop in my hometown to help.
Collect the down payment, don’t push yourself so hard, you’ll get sick!”
"I know you don't believe it, and neither does Sheng An, but it doesn't matter, I have a way to make you believe it."
She took Qiao Songzhi home. There was a buzzing sound in the house and several masters were very busy.
"I'll order lunch for the masters, and we'll go out to eat." Qiao Qingqing picked up Shao Sheng'an, and the three of them went to a hotel for dinner and asked for a private room with a TV.
"You don't need to order so many dishes. Don't you have to save money to buy a house in the school district? Save as much as you can. I also have money there and will give it to you later."
"Mom, this restaurant tastes very good, and we don't come here every day." Qiao Qingqing ordered four dishes, and Shao Sheng'an added two more.
The dishes came one after another, and after they were all served, the waiter left and closed the door.
The three of them started to have lunch. Shao Sheng'an and Qiao Songzhi both ate tastelessly, while Du Qiao Qingqing ate happily. The three of them formed a sharp contrast.
"You've been hungry for a few days." Qiao Songzhi said and gave her a chopstick of fried pork ribs with sauce, and then gave it to Shao Sheng'an. She said to him apologetically, "I spoiled her, and I usually have to rely on you to tolerate her."
, we, Qingqing, are truly blessed to be able to marry you in eight lifetimes."
"Mom, Qingqing is very good. I arrived at the station after twelve o'clock last night, and she stayed up late at night to pick me up. She is good to me, and I am good to her. I am lucky to be able to marry Qingqing."
Qiao Songzhi heard the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes turn into flowers.
Qiao Qingqing blinked to hold back her wetness and said with a smile: "I'm going to turn on the TV. I just have something to tell you."
She turned on the news station, and five minutes later the noon news started.
"There will be an international news broadcast later. The volcano in country H that has not been active for eighty years erupted an hour ago, destroying a nearby hot spring town." As soon as these words came out, Shao Sheng'an and Qiao Songzhi were even less interested in eating.
He ate absentmindedly and glanced at the news from time to time.
"Next, an international news report will be broadcast. The famous dormant volcano Mount Hitria in country h suddenly erupted at 2:15 a.m. local time. The volcanic ash covered the sky and the sun. The erupted lava immediately triggered nearby forest fires... Mount Hitria
It is a famous local tourist attraction, with many hot spring-themed tourist towns nearby. Summer vacation is coming, and this volcanic eruption will not only affect the local ecology, but will also have a great impact on the tourism industry..."
Shao Sheng'an and Qiao Songzhi looked at Qiao Qingqing.
"The next news is that the oil tanker of country R leaked offshore, and the last sports news is that the dark horse of country B won the championship." Qiao Qingqing smiled complicatedly, "But I know you will talk about this kind of news, but there are still ways to advance it.
I got it from social media, such as from my classmates studying abroad. Let’s watch the next one.”
After finishing the two news stories, she switched to a local people's livelihood channel. The host was talking to the camera about the price of pork having stabilized under control, and then contacted the reporter at the front to interview people who purchased pork on the spot.
"This old man bought two pig trotters and said he wanted to braise one and roast the other."
Just after Qiao Qingqing finished speaking, the 70-year-old grandfather who was interviewed with a smile said: "My wife can braise it, and it is very delicious. My daughter likes to use that oven to make roasted pig's trotters. Yes, I will be responsible for buying it."
, they do it, I just wait to eat it, my dentures have just been replaced and I can bite..."
"This is an on-site interview. It's impossible for me to know in advance who the reporter will interview and what the interviewer will say." Qiao Qingqing raised the corner of her mouth, "You believe me." She smiled but her eyes were red.
"The end of the world is really coming. Sheng An died in the second month. Soon after, my mother lost contact with me. I lived at home by myself, and the government always provided material assistance. Later, the world became completely chaotic and our home was robbed.
, I had no choice but to wander around, and finally I wandered to my hometown, but I couldn’t find it. I couldn’t find my mother or my uncle. The terrain of my hometown was lower than that of Huacheng. I asked the locals and they said it was 20 years old in the year of the flood.
Everything downstairs was flooded. Mom, my eldest cousin’s house is on the fifth floor, and my brother-in-law’s house is a four-story building built by himself. They must have fled to other places... In the next ten years, I haven’t seen you, a
nothing."
"Qingqing——" Qiao Songzhi couldn't bear the decayed and numb look on her daughter's young face. She hugged her daughter and patted her back like she did when she was a child. "Stop crying, mom is still here, and Sheng An is too."
"Mom, don't be scared by me. I can't control myself when I talk about the past." She wiped her tears and came out of her mother's warm embrace. She looked at her mother and then at her husband who was watching her closely. "
I didn't prepare anything in my previous life and I lived for ten years. Now we prepare in advance in this life, and I don't believe our family will still be able to survive."
Shao Sheng'an's eyes were full of distress: "You're right, didn't I return to China early? I will always be by your side in this life." But there was anger growing in his heart. In the future, he would meet someone who robbed the house.
A person who avenges his wife will feel extremely hateful whenever he thinks of his wife being driven out and homeless.
"It's okay, it's okay, we still have room. It's a treasure passed down to us by our ancestors. We are already very lucky." She looked at Shao Sheng'an, "Sheng'an, you should have guessed that our Qingqing actually has someone who can
Qingqing didn't tell you about the space for storing things before. Her grandmother and I told her not to tell you, so don't blame her."
Shao Sheng'an shook his head: "Mom, how could I blame Qingqing? It's a good thing that she didn't tell me. It's inevitable for me to drink when working and socializing. If I say it out loud when I'm drunk, it'll be bad. Fortunately, Qingqing didn't tell me. But what happened to the space?
What's going on? Did Qingqing just put the bed in and then take it out?"
"Well, are you scared?" Qiao Qingqing said with some nostalgia, "When we were in junior high school, you gave me a box of mangoes from your father. It was really too heavy. I couldn't carry it home, and you couldn't
As I was talking, I put the box down and ran away. I had no choice but to drag the box into the alley where no one was and put it into a space. Later, when I came out, I saw you peeking in front. Just when I wanted to talk to you, you ran away.
, did you think I lost the mango?"
"Yeah, there happens to be a trash can in the alley. You pulled the box in and came out empty-handed. I'm so sad." Thinking of those years, Shao Sheng'an couldn't help laughing. He was so stupid at that time. Put it down.
He regretted immediately after running away with the box. He should have helped her carry it home, so he hid at the intersection and took a peek. When he saw her coming out empty-handed, he was almost overwhelmed by disappointment. He was so sad and ashamed that he did not dare to face his sweetheart again until the second day.
Master Tianxin gave her a big peach, saying that mangoes are very sweet. She gave this sweet peach to him. She couldn't give him a box of peaches at once, but when she ate the peaches, she would leave one for him, and she saved up a box.
.The surprise and sweetness at that time can still be tasted now.
"Then I gave you peaches, and your eyes were so wide open." Qiao Qingqing's spirits improved obviously as she talked about interesting anecdotes from her childhood. This made Qiao Songzhi breathe a sigh of relief, and pretended to complain: "No wonder that time at home.
The peach was not fast, it turned out that you gave it to your future son-in-law."
This sentence made Qiao Qingqing and his wife blush.
The atmosphere was finally relieved from the misery. Qiao Qingqing said: "My home is going to be renovated in the past few days. I also asked people to seal the balcony and terrace. I will start doing it when the customized glass is ready. Mom, you can watch it at home. I
I have to go out to collect supplies. I rented a factory warehouse in the suburbs, and vegetables and fruits will start arriving tomorrow." She took out her mobile phone and sent yesterday's purchase order to the three people.
"I don't have a complete idea for some, so I have to rely on your help to fill them in."
Shao Sheng'an glanced at ten lines: "You have bought so many things, 12 tons of rice?"
"Well, I ordered a total of 20 tons of rice from 40 stores on the shopping platform, which is enough for six adults to eat three meals a day for twenty years. There are discounts for large quantities, but in the end I spent more than 140,000.
"
"six people--"
