Mo Xun didn't dare to be careless anymore because of Clover's open murder. He insisted on sending Qi Qing back to the basement at home, and even helped to carry the boxes of fresh food up there.

Mo Xun was holding a big box with one hand, which was a bit of a peacekeeper.

Qi Qing originally planned to go upstairs by herself and put the box in the space to take it away. Now she could only watch the disabled people help with physical work. She felt a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, I went upstairs to get my mother's trailer, and then

Just come down and move the boxes. If your arms are inconvenient, don't work so hard."

Mo Xunli replied confidently: "Actually, the reason why I work so hard is to have a seafood dinner at your house."

"..." Qi Qing said, "When my father was still alive, he cooked seafood very well. My mother's cooking skills are average, and I have not inherited the talent of cooking at all. Do you really decide to eat at my house?"

Mo Xun smiled again: "Actually, I prefer cooking. If you don't mind, I can invest in technology to make a living."

Qi Qing saw Mo Xun buying kitchen utensils in the supermarket that day and guessed that he might be able to cook. She didn't expect him to be so confident. She joked: "In that case, I want to try your cooking skills. Although I don't know how to cook."

I know how to cook, but I’m very proficient in eating.”

"That's not how a lady would describe herself."

Qi Qing blushed and defended: "I can't get fat no matter what I eat, so I have been exposed to many things and am quite picky about my diet. I hope your cooking skills are really good."

The two went home talking and laughing, and bought so much fresh food. Du Ruying laughed from ear to ear. When she heard that Mo Xun planned to cook, she was a little surprised and said: "I didn't expect that young people nowadays still like to cook."

Food? I thought you all had takeout."

Mo Xun explained: "I worked abroad for a while, and I was not used to the foreign food, so I made it myself. I am also self-taught. If it is not to your taste, please forgive me."

Qi Qing said without seeing the outsider: "Our food is light and sweet, and everything else is very casual. You can do it as you see fit."

"Well, it's pretty much the same as my mother back in the day. She likes light food. We also steam the seafood and add some secret seasoning."

Qi Qing had not cooked for many years, so she could only ask her mother to introduce the various supplies in her kitchen so that Mo Xun could see what was missing, especially condiments. If they moved to the military factory in the future,

Ordinary food can be purchased in nearby towns, but seasonings from all over the world must be stocked up in advance to take with you.

Mo Xun looked carefully in the kitchen, asked about his usual habits of using cooking utensils, then rummaged through the cabinets to get some rare condiments, and finally said with a smile: "You have quite a few things at home."

Du Ruying said: "Our generation has experienced an era of material shortages and loves to hoard goods. When I go to the supermarket, I can't help but buy everything. I will buy whatever is on sale and cheap if I don't need it. Xiaoqing always says to me, what?

I also save plastic bags, and I buy rice, flour, grains, oils, washing powder and soap in large packages. Alas, I can’t change my old habits..."

In the past, Qi Qing was dissatisfied with her mother's habit of hoarding goods. In a house of more than 100,000 square meters, all the cabinets were filled with things, and they were piled with worthless things that could be bought anywhere, let alone plastic bags and newspapers.

, reluctant to throw away old clothes. However, in the natural disaster dream, Qi Qing and her mother relied on the food and clothing they usually hoarded and the used newspapers to light up for warmth, so that they could survive the first difficult days.

At this time, she said with embarrassment: "Mom, I was wrong. You are right. The house at home is so big, so just stock up on the things you like so that you are prepared. You may need them anytime."

It was still early before dinner time, so Qi Qing peeled some fruit and treated Mo Xun to rest at home. Seeing that her mother had gone back to the room, deliberately leaving space for their "two-person world", she asked softly: "After all the trouble yesterday, how can you?"

Can you still live in your rental house? Clover definitely knows your address, I can probably hide it here for a while."

"Let's just live with it. Now that the murder case also involves Xu Qiancheng, I guess Clover may not take action against us for the time being. She should have other goals, and there is no need to chew on hard bones like us. Xue Xiong is also involved in the murder case, and I guess Xue Ya

Fang and the others will calm down for a while." Mo Xun analyzed the current situation and felt a little more at ease.

Qi Qing also agreed with what Mo Xun said, but the key point she emphasized was: "Are you serious when you say you are short of money? I always feel that someone as capable as you can easily buy a house in City S, right? Why is it nearby?

What about renting?”

Mo Xun smiled bitterly and said: "I am really short of money. All the money I earned in the past was used to repay my father's old debts, including my house in this community. My mother reluctantly sold it to pay off the debt. She was already seriously ill at that time and hid it from me.

Selling the house for medical treatment is actually to use the money to repay my father's old debt. The money was used for medical treatment, and she may still be alive now."

Qi Qing didn't expect Mo Xun to have such a painful experience, and hurriedly offered words of comfort. She thought that Mo Xun had mentioned the death of his mother, but never said what happened to his father. He didn't know what the situation was, so he asked again: "What if the natural disaster really happened?"

Come, if you leave with me, what will happen to your other relatives and friends?"

"There are no relatives on my mother's side. Although my father is still alive, the relationship between father and son has been severed after I paid back the money for him. He is stubborn and will have his own retribution. I will not care about him anymore." Mo Xun met Qi Qing.

With a puzzled look on his face, he simply confessed,

"My father used to be an official, but he failed to withstand the temptation and accepted bribes, which not only caused heavy losses to the country, but also harmed innocent people. He is now serving his sentence in the prison in S City. Even after selling his house, all the money the family has left is not enough to compensate others.

He hid the stolen money and refused to tell me. I used to work in a relatively dangerous job, and I barely paid off the debt, but I also became disabled.

I went to see him in prison some time ago, but he wanted me to use his hidden money and connections to clear up connections and reverse his conviction and reduce his sentence. He also wanted to make a comeback... It was really a wishful thinking. I have informed the project of the clues he mentioned.

If the group is formed, I'm afraid his sentence will be extended this time and he won't be able to get out of jail for the rest of his life."

Ever since she met Mo Xun, Qi Qing has always seen him look calm and calm. He may be cool and expressionless to others, but he smiles from time to time, gentle and sunny towards her. She has never seen him look so sad and gloomy now.

.

She wanted to make him feel better, but she didn't know what to say to ease his pain. But she really wanted to help him get out of those hazes.

When Mo Xun looked at Qi Qing's clear eyes, he knew that the other party would not discriminate against him because he had a bad father. She has been so smart and kind since she was a child, so other children are willing to play with her, not because she is domineering.

But she knows how to consider others and is very responsible.

Being with Qi Qing will make him become a sunshine, no longer thinking about the painful and dark days in the past, and pretending that he is a normal person. He studied and worked in an ordinary university, and now he has just changed his job.

"Don't worry, I'm different from my dad. I used to work for the country, and I'm not a bad person." Mo Xun said softly. Although he couldn't talk about confidential matters, he wanted Qi Qing to understand him better.

, believe him, don’t doubt him.

Qi Qing nodded solemnly: "Yes, I understand. I believe you are a good person."

This sentence was worth a thousand words. Mo Xun felt relieved, put his mood back together, put on his apron and started cooking dinner.

Qi Qing also received items that she had previously purchased online. For example, huge packages of day and night hygiene products, heavy washing and personal care products, small coal stoves, and daily medicines scattered across several online platforms.

She received the medicines by courier, unpacked them and checked to see if they were correct, and received them directly in the space. The seafood she bought today could not be received in the space under Mo Xun's nose for the time being, but fortunately it could still be stuffed in the refrigerator. There was always a chance to buy it in the future.

There was also news about the military factory from her mother's side. While Mo Xun was cooking, she called Qi Qing into the room and said, "Have you told Mo Xun about the natural disaster?"

"Well, let's talk about it. I hired him as a bodyguard. When we go all the way to the mountains, we need a man to support the scene to avoid being bullied."

Du Ruying asked again: "Do you like him, or do you only do it to cope with natural disasters..."

Qi Qing lowered her head: "I don't know either. His appearance and personality are my type, but he is very mysterious. I'm not sure why he approached me and was willing to help me."

"Were you with him in your dream?"

"He was not in the first dream. In yesterday's dream, he was there, but something more distant has not happened yet." Qi Qing tried to change the subject, "Mom, don't talk so much. How is the situation at the military factory?
