Chapter 9 Chapter 9

At around 8 o'clock, the two express delivery arrived together, one car with cold clothes, thick quilts, and the other car was full of instant noodles and ham.

She bought a lightweight and warm down jacket for cold clothes. She bought a down quilt and a large quilt. She asked the store to vacuum compress her. The store said that the down ball that insulated the down will be destroyed. It is recommended that it be not compressed, so in the end she only compressed the quilt. She placed the things on the existing supplies in the space, intending to wait until everything was bought, and then put the down jacket and quilt on the top.

Looking at the instant noodles, Qiao Qingqing couldn't help but saliva flooding. She was really too greedy for the convenient smell. In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, she smelled the instant noodles on a certain floor while working at the base. The fragrance mixed with fragrances was synonymous with "unhealthy" and "junk food" before the Apocalypse, but at that moment, the fragrance hit Qiao Qingqing's brain, making her miss and yearn for it.

The smell lingers in Qiao Qingqing's mind for several days, and she is eating instant noodles in her dream. At that time, she thought happily that she and her husband's deposits would be converted into instant noodles, so that she could buy 30,000 boxes of eggs and ham for each bowl. 30,000 boxes of them were enough for several lifetimes for the couple to eat. Thinking of it, she made herself laugh, and she cried again with a smile.

She took out a bag, crushed the noodles first and then opened the packaging, poured the seasoning bag into the broken noodles a little bit, grabbed the bag and shook it quickly, then pinched out a piece and put it in her mouth.

It was still a familiar smell. She drank a whole bag of instant noodles with red eyes and ordered a portion of milk tea. When drinking milk tea, she decided to stock up on some milk tea. It was too wasteful to buy finished products, so she bought milk tea online to make materials and planned to make it herself in the future.

At ten o'clock, Qiao Qingqing turned off the faucet and felt very satisfied when she looked at the water tank full of water.

The faucets in the factory flow faster than those at home. They can fill a large water tank in more than three hours. She has filled two of them, and the remaining ones will definitely be filled in the next few days. She put the installed water tank into the space and locked the warehouse and drove home.

Qiao Songzhi said she had already gone to the hotel to sleep. Qiao Qingqing first went to the hotel front desk to ask a few questions, and then she was sure that her mother had indeed checked in before she could go home with peace of mind.

After an afternoon, the house changed a lot. The third anti-theft door at the door was installed and the living room was cleaned up. It must have been cleaned by her mother. The floor heating of the second bedroom of the master bedroom was completed, the cement slurry was backfilled, and the door was being opened for ventilation to speed up solidification. She checked the house and all the anti-theft windows of the windows were installed. She touched it and found that they were very clean, which should have been wiped by her mother.

Sitting in the living room, she was stunned for a while before going into the bathroom to take a shower. When she was taking a shower, she looked at the drain and thought about it again. At that time, she went to an accident site in other places to find her parents-in-law. The water on the road was getting deeper and deeper. She didn't find anyone and almost couldn't come back. It was the rescue soldiers who sent her back with a kayak. When they came back, the water in the community had already flooded to the second floor. The house was full of water, and heavy rain flowed in through the gaps in the window.

After the water level continued to rise and the drainage outlet flooded backwards, she used many methods to block the water outlet at home, and even the toilet was no exception. But the water outlet still seeped water every day, so she had to use a towel to suck the water from the ground into the basin, and then pour the sewage from the basin out of the window.

It took almost half a year for such humid and smelly days. It was not until the cold winter freezes all the floods and the dilemma of backflowing sewage at home was lifted. Although she was almost frozen to death in the extreme cold, Qiao Qingqing, who was trembling, breathed a sigh of relief. She put on all the clothes she could wear, took out all the quilts in the house and wrapped herself up, hiding in the bathroom to burn chairs to keep warm. In those days, she did not dare to open the door and windows, for fear of freezing herself to death. Until all the burns at home were burned, she barely adapted to the weather of more than minus 20 degrees Celsius, and she was brave enough to go out to pick up firewood. The trees were frozen in the ice, so she went to smash the ice...

I've thought far.

While wearing clothes, Qiao Qingqing thought that it is definitely not enough to fill the drain outlet now. There is still about a month before the sewage is poured back. During this period, life at home is inconvenient. You can buy cement, sand and gravel at home first. When the time comes, then mix simple concrete to seal the drain outlet at home.

After leaving the bathroom, I was afraid that I would forget Qiao Qingqing would immediately write this on the shopping list.

"Why haven't come back yet?" Seeing that the clock on the wall was already eleven o'clock, Qiao Qingqing was very worried and sent a text message.

It took more than ten minutes before my husband replied: "I can't go back tonight, so you can go to bed first, don't worry."

How can you not worry? It is illegal to sell gasoline in the black market. Sheng'an bought so much at one time and dealt with those in the black market... Qiao Qingqing told herself not to think randomly and have confidence in her husband. She was not sleepy yet. In order to divert her attention, she began to organize her space and strive to use the space to store things for the most efficient time.

It was already late at night after the work was done. She finally sent a sleepy message to her husband and asked him to sleep in the hotel. Otherwise, if the master came to work tomorrow, he would not sleep for a few hours. After the message was sent, Qiao Qingqing turned off the lights and went to bed, habitually leaving a small light in the entrance hall.

Shao Sheng'an came back at around 6 o'clock in the morning, full of alcohol and smoke, and there was also a stench mixed with various smells on his body. Qiao Qingqing woke up when he opened the door: "Are you back?"

"If you sleep, I'll take a shower first."

He took a shower very quickly, and five minutes later he came out with the fragrance of a body wash.

He went to bed and hugged Qiao Qingqing. He nestled on her neck and took a deep breath, and said in a muffled voice: "I am entertaining Brother Wang and the others until after five o'clock in the morning, and they all became drunk. They have to arrange them to enter the hotel one by one." He smelled the fragrance of his wife, and he was a little distracted, but he didn't sleep much all night. He was really tired and fell asleep.

Qiao Qingqing couldn't laugh or cry. She touched her husband's face and looked lonely.

But Shao Sheng'an couldn't sleep for long, and the master came to knock on the door at nine o'clock.

Qiao Qingqing had already prepared breakfast. He squatted to the balcony with a bowl. Qiao Qingqing smiled and scolded: "Why don't you take a stool? There are no stools at home."

"Wife, come and see, there are a lot of ants moving here."

Qiao Qingqing leaned over and saw dense ants climbing up from downstairs. The long line was like a winding black line.

"They climb so high, they know that it is safe to rain high." Shao Sheng'an turned his head and smiled at her, "Our home is on the eighth floor, it's very safe."

"Yeah." Qiao Qingqing replied softly, "By the way, I'll tell you something, follow me to the attic after dinner."

Before the master who installed solar energy had arrived, Qiao Qingqing told him about his appointment to ligate in the attic.

Shao Sheng'an couldn't react: "What surgery?"

"Fallopian tube ligation. Sheng'an, I don't want to have a baby anymore." She stared into her husband's eyes, not letting go of every emotion in his eyes.

Shao Sheng'an finally understood that his mood was very complicated at this moment. He first thought of discussing with his wife about his future children's names, and giving birth to two, one with his surname and the other with his wife's surname, where to buy a school district house, and the children get better educational resources in the future... Those beautiful futures that were enjoying suddenly became a bubble. Shao Sheng'an's first reaction was confusion and then loss, but immediately he discovered the look of his wife looking at him tightly.

There was a lot of uneasiness hidden inside, and his heart was stricken and he woke up instantly.

He made himself smile: "I thought it was a big deal, a small deal. If you don't want to be born, you won't be born. We live in the world of two."

Qiao Qingqing relaxed a little, and her expression was not so tense.

"I know you like kids very much. I made a decision without permission. It's because I'm sorry for you, but I won't change my mind. I'm really scared."

"Treatment of children is a matter of two people, I respect your opinions." Shao Sheng'an hugged her to comfort her, and added to his heart: You also like children.

"Thank you Sheng An."

Looking at his wife's eyes, Shao Sheng'an's heart was solemn that he had never felt before. Qingqing overturned the future planned together and prepared for the end of the world wholeheartedly without leaving any weakness for the end of the world. At this moment, he finally completely believed that the end of the world was really coming.

After completely accepting this fact, Shao Sheng'an felt heartbroken. How serious psychological trauma has the end of the world left Qingqing's heart? She doesn't want to have children in the end of the world, and doesn't want the children to suffer. He really wants to say that with him, he will not let her and her children suffer, but the person who has experienced those disasters is not him, the person who has those painful memories is Qingqing, and his comfort is powerless and futile.

The real and effective comfort is probably to follow Qingqing's will and let her not be under such great pressure.

That night, Shao Sheng'an did not fall asleep. Later, he ran to the bathroom to turn on his phone and searched for relevant information. As the sky was getting brighter, he made a decision.
