Even though he said this, most people stayed and continued watching.

The news that used to be boring now brings a completely different feeling to people. It seems that through the eloquent words of the news host, everyone can once again touch the peaceful world where the country was peaceful and the people were safe before the natural disaster.

Crying gradually broke out from the crowd.

Shao Sheng'an held Qiao Qingqing's hand while an international news message was broadcast on the curtain:

"... 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... Hitria

Yashan is a famous local tourist attraction. There are many hot spring-themed tourist towns nearby. Summer vacation is coming. This volcanic eruption will not only affect the local ecology, but also have a great impact on the tourism industry..."

Qiao Qingqing also held his hand.

"...There was a leakage from the oil ship of country r..."

Qiao Qingqing looked at these news and sighed in her heart.

The reason why she was able to use the news after her rebirth and convince her husband and mother to believe her words was because she had memorized the looped news programs by heart in her previous life.

After the thick fog ended, Mayor Luo still maintained the habit of regularly broadcasting programs to the public. During the eternal night period, the boundless darkness was very torturous and the crime rate was even higher than during the thick fog. A large number of projections were installed in various places.

There are even two broadcast points in the shanty towns. The programs are constantly looping. Qiao Qingqing has watched them year after year and has memorized them all.

Qiao Songzhi's mood was also very complicated. She recalled the scene when her daughter said in the hotel that the end of the world was coming. The scene on TV at that time was exactly as her daughter predicted, and she was deeply shocked.

When she saw the news again today, her mood was completely different.

The news broadcast lasted for two hours. After watching one day's news broadcast, we watched another day's news broadcast. When the show ended, everyone was still reluctant to leave.

"It will be broadcast again at this time tomorrow. Let's watch it again tomorrow!" the staff shouted loudly and began to evacuate the audience. "Don't walk or run quickly if you don't have good visibility. Please leave the venue in an orderly manner!"

Shao Sheng'an and Shao's father carried all the stools and asked Qiao Qingqing and the others to hold hands and not get separated.

While climbing the stairs, Qiao Qingqing could hear the cheerful chatter of other residents in the corridor. They were talking about a certain piece of news or some scenes in the news. Their tone was brisk and they were in a happy mood. Even if they coughed occasionally, they couldn't stop it.

Kill that excitement.

After returning home, Qiao Songzhi and the others said they wanted to go to bed early.

"In the future, we don't have to turn on the TV at home. We can go downstairs and watch TV every day. The news is also very good." Shao's mother touched Shao Shengfei's head and said, "My dear, is the news good?"

Shao Shengfei thought the news was not good to watch, but he liked the news host, so he nodded.

"This can save a lot of electricity. The mayor is so kind."

Mayor Luo received all the summary information late at night and breathed a sigh of relief after reading it.

There was silence in Yu Jingshen's office. Lin Mingyong lowered his head, then suddenly raised his head and walked out.

"It's just a way to win people's hearts. If he can do it, we can do it too. We can carry out an activity to benefit the people and let the people feel your love and care."

Yu Jingshen looked at him: "What can you do? I can't come up with too many supplies."

Lin Mingyong shook his head: "There is no need for supplies. He is working hard on spiritual culture. We will write articles on convenience services. How about the theme of the barber team going to the grassroots to give residents free haircuts?" Yu Jing was deep in thought.

The barber team came to Ping'an Community for free haircuts five days later. Shao Sheng'an had always cut Qiao Qingqing's family's hair, so they did not participate in this policy to benefit the people.

The atmosphere at the base gradually improved and was no longer as depressing as before. Although there were still a few people who were unwilling to go out and regarded the thick fog as a scourge, more people gradually resumed going out every day with the sense of security given by the cough medicine.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of residents will gather in the open space at the entrance of the community. Everyone wears masks, chats, laughs, and waits for the new program to start. Sometimes Qiao Qingqing and the others will go to the community next door and hear about the programs in each community.

They were all different. They went there twice and found that they were really different. There was a children's program in the community next door. Shao Shengfei went there once and was deeply attracted. Later, Qiao Qingqing's family split into two groups, Shao's father and Shao's mother.

I took Shao Shengfei to watch children's programs next door, while Qiao Qingqing, his wife, and Qiao Songzhi watched the new news broadcast in this community.

During this period, Pei Yan finally returned home. After returning home and reuniting with his family, he visited Qiao Qingqing's house and first thanked him for the iron gate at the door.

"Brother Yuxiu asked someone to tell me about this. To be honest, I was really relieved at the institute."

"What's there to be thankful for? We're all neighbors."

Pei Yan also brought a thank-you gift. He thought clearly that he would not be able to go home for a while. His wife and old mother lived at home, and the only people they could rely on were their neighbors. The family next door was really reliable, and the elders watched

They are easy to get along with. Shao Sheng'an is a hard-working and diligent electrician, and Qiao Qingqing is a doctor. There is no more perfect neighbor than these. Building a good relationship is a must.

"This is the newly issued canned fruit in the institute. Take it and try it."

Qiao Qingqing went to prepare a return gift and returned a box of dried chrysanthemums.

Pei Yan declined, but Qiao Qingqing asked him to accept it: "Only when there are comings and goings can things last long."

After sending Pei Yan away, Shao's mother said with emotion: "He must be working very hard. He is much thinner than last time I saw him. His eyes are all black, as if he hasn't slept for a long time."

Shao's father thought this was normal: "He is the only grown man in his family. He has to work hard to support the family. As a man, you have to be responsible." He thought of his work again, and his eyes became a little wandering. Shao's mother knew him well.

, immediately glared at him, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

The days continued to move forward, and soon it was the fifth month.

Mayor Luo's measures indeed relieved the people's mental pressure to a great extent, but by the fifth month of the heavy fog, the symptoms caused by the thick fog became more and more serious. Severe diarrhea, severe coughing and hemoptysis, some

People who were able to go to the hospital were unable to receive effective treatment, and deaths began to occur.

At this time, the superiors were still hiding the fact that there were bugs in the fog, for fear of causing panic.

But some people with money and connections finally know the truth.

More pressure is put on Mayor Luo and the institute.

After someone jumped off a building and killed an innocent passerby in the community, Qiao Qingqing's family no longer went out unless there were important matters. Every night at home, they could hear the sound of the projection program at the community gate.

The days of thick fog piled up like this day by day. Even if she didn't go out, Qiao Qingqing knew that many people had died of the disease. She and her family also began to have more serious cough symptoms. Her mother had been going to the toilet frequently since yesterday. She gave her mother

She prescribed medicine and received injections, but she knew that those measures could only make her mother feel better temporarily. If it continued any longer, her lungs would be damaged and she would cough up blood. When sleeping at night, Qiao Qingqing often heard her mother, in-laws, and eldest brother in the room.

She coughed loudly, worried in her heart, and she coughed herself.

"Ahem, Qingqing, can't you sleep?" Shao Sheng'an suddenly said.

"Well, you didn't fall asleep either?" Qiao Qingqing didn't stop coughing after saying this simple sentence.

If he hadn't known the secret of the thick fog, Shao Sheng'an would have been in despair. They were among the better-protected people, but even today they still cannot avoid the threat of death.

"Mom went to the toilet six times today, can I increase the amount of medicine?" Shao Sheng'an whispered.

"I know, we can't add any more medicine...I'll add a lot more white vinegar to the bowl of soup I gave Mom tonight." Although white vinegar would harm the esophagus and stomach, by this time, the damage was already insignificant. She just wanted to

Let the bugs in her mother's body stop being so active.

Speaking of white vinegar, Qiao Qingqing couldn't help but feel nauseated and felt a burning sting in her esophagus. The whole family has eaten enough white vinegar these days, and the "cough medicine" posted above can only be said to be an "upgraded white vinegar" that is milder and more effective.

"Edition", the quantity is limited, each person can have one bottle of vinegar every ten days, which is a drop in the bucket.

Without going to the market, Qiao Qingqing could imagine how high the price of white vinegar in the market has become. Fortunately, she had white vinegar at home, but she couldn't bear to eat it like this.

"I'll get you a glass of water—"

"No need." Qiao Qingqing stopped him, "I'm fine."

"Don't worry too much. We have all taken the medicine you prescribed, and our bodies can handle it."

Her husband's comfort can only slightly relieve Qiao Qingqing's anxiety. She knows very well that if the root cause of the disease is not eradicated, no matter how much medicine she gives her family, it will not help. The medicine repairs the body, but the bugs are still multiplying and destroying the body, so the only way to kill them is to kill them.

Medicine can cut the roots and draw out the firewood.

Shao Sheng'an hugged her and patted her back gently.

He couldn't help but think about how difficult it must have been for Qingqing in his previous life, when he was alone and didn't have enough supplies. He should develop the insecticide as soon as possible, and the thick fog should dissipate as soon as possible. He was silently looking forward to it in his heart.

But what he didn't know was that insecticides had been developed at this time, but the production could not keep up. They could only be supplied to the army who maintained the order of the base first, and then to the medical staff, government officials who maintained the daily operations of the base, and the staff of major institutes.

Experts and professors, community officers, core production line workers of major factories... Of course, some well-connected wealthy people also got part of it. Another month had passed when ordinary residents received the pesticides, which were first supplied to hospitals for seriously ill people.

people before it is distributed to other residents.

After Qiao Qingqing's family received the insecticide, they immediately distributed it to their family members.

"Let's eat in batches. My parents and my mother will eat first, and the three of us will eat later."

Shao's father and others disagreed, and Shao Sheng'an advised: "We are young and our symptoms are not serious yet. It's okay to eat a day later..."

After eating it, Shao's father, Shao's mother, and Qiao Songzhi's first reaction was that it was unpalatable.

"I want to vomit." Shao's mother covered her mouth in discomfort.

"Don't vomit first, don't waste it." Father Shao endured the discomfort and patted her on the back. After more than ten seconds, he couldn't help it anymore, "I want to vomit too, the taste is too strong, and it will come back after swallowing it."

.”

Qiao Songzhi's reaction was greater. She also felt vomiting, but the abdominal pain was more severe, which overshadowed the nausea.

Qiao Qingqing was fully prepared and immediately gave them injections to stop their desire to vomit. She knew very well that the medicines had not had time to be absorbed and digested just after they were taken, and they would be wasted if they were spitted out!

"My stomach hurts so much." Qiao Songzhi's face turned pale and her forehead was sweating due to abdominal pain.

"Mom, it's okay, it's okay, just let it go." Qiao Qingqing gave her an injection to relieve the pain, with tears in her eyes. She knew how painful it was to take the insecticide, and if possible, she wished her mother could avoid these sufferings.

Half an hour later, Qiao Songzhi finally felt the desire to go to the toilet. Qiao Qingqing helped her go to the toilet, adding light salt water to her mother in the process.

Shao Sheng'an took care of Shao's father and the others. An hour later, Shao's mother also said she had a stomachache. The pain came suddenly, as if her intestines were being pinched by a knife, and her face changed drastically from the pain.

Just when Qiao Qingqing was calling someone in the toilet, Shao Sheng'an hurried over to help and took Qiao Songzhi out and put her back on the bed in the room. He looked at his mother-in-law's face and felt a knot in his heart. Her face was as white as paper and she looked as angry as a thread.

"I'm going to change Mom's clothes. You go out first. I heard Mom yelling that she was in pain in the toilet. After I changed, I went to give Mom acupuncture." Qiao Qingqing said, and Shao Sheng'an closed the door and went out.
