Rebirth of natural disasters at the end of the world

The next day, the snow continued to fall and the temperature dropped a few degrees. Several people got up early. After breakfast, An Ning and Xiao Gao stayed at home. The remaining four people put on thick equipment and took shovels and large bamboo brooms. Go out of the house and start clearing the snow.

The four of them shivered and divided the work. Xiao Han and Han Jie each carried a personal ladder, placed it in front of the two glass greenhouses, climbed up carefully, and then used the long bamboo pole Qiu Qiu handed them to lift the ladder. The thick snow pushed down.

Li Changqing and Qiu Qiu took shovels and shoveled the snow on the road that Xiao Han and the others had cleared yesterday to the wall, and then used the shovels to tamp down the snow. As for those on the side of the house, they couldn't be lazy. I shoveled the snow onto the cart, then pushed it outside, and fell down from the fence on the edge of the green belt. At the bottom of the mountain were farmland and flower beds, which had been flooded before, so it would have no effect if I fell down now.

After a few hours of working, they started to feel unbearable. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and coupled with the strong wind, the cold was unbearable.

Qiu Qiu squinted his eyes and shouted, "Let's go back! Wait until the snow stops. It's too cold. It won't be worth it if you get cold in a while!"

Xiao Han licked his chapped lips, looked at the snow that was almost cleared, and thought it would last for a while, so he nodded, "Okay, everyone, go back!"

Several people carried the tools to the utility room next to the kang room and put them there. They also picked up some firewood and coal before entering the house.

When An Ning and Xiao Gao saw them coming in, they hurriedly pulled away the quilt on the kang, "Quick, come up and cover them first!"

Qiu Qiu couldn't bear it for a long time. He took off his gloves, hat, coat and pants, kicked off his shoes, and jumped onto the kang in a few steps. Xiao Gao quickly pulled the warm quilt and wrapped him up. He immediately I shivered uncontrollably, then closed my eyes comfortably and started humming!

“So comfortable and warm!”

Xiao Han and the others then got on the kang and pulled the quilt over them. Only then did they feel alive. Qiu Qiu moved left and right to Xiao Han. Under the quilt, she grabbed his frozen big hands and hugged him. Keep him warm on your chest.

Xiao Han's heart suddenly softened. He lowered his head and touched his forehead, rubbing her affectionately, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Qiu Qiu smiled at him.

Xiao Gao leaned in Han Jie's arms and looked at the two of them with envy. He raised his head and glanced at Han Jie, then lowered his head and muttered in a sour voice, "They are so in love!"

"Yeah!" Han Jie hugged him tightly, then turned his head and whispered in his ear, saying in a calm voice, "So are we!"

"Yeah!" Xiao Gao was healed instantly, raised his head and kissed his chin.

"You are all so disgusting!"

An Ning looked like she couldn't bear it, and pulled up the quilt to cover her face, but she couldn't bear the heat anymore, so she had to take it off, looked at them with disgust and said, "Brothers, I'm only 14 years old, don't you think, in this world?" Is it bad to be like this in front of me? And my father, he is single..."

"What are you talking about? You brat! How dare you set up your father!"

Li Changqing smiled and flicked his forehead.

"Ouch! Dad, please be gentle!"

An Ning frowned and touched the place where he was shot, looked at his father unconvinced and said, "Don't deny it, you are single to begin with!"

"Stinky boy!"

Li Changqing shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "It's getting more and more naughty!"

"An Ning is becoming more and more lively!"

Qiu Qiu smiled comfortingly and said, "At first, when I first met him, I didn't say a word and was very closed to myself. Now, it's really good!"

"Yeah! That's great!"

Li Changqing purred the top of his hair and looked at him with gentle eyes, "I used to wonder when he would return to normal. I didn't dislike him for being like this, but I was afraid. I was afraid that one day I would be gone and he would still be there. I’m not okay, I can’t take care of myself, I…”

He burst into tears, thinking about the time when father and son depended on each other. After he finished work, in his free time, he wanted to An Ning to act coquettishly and laugh in front of him, but An Ning just stared at him with big eyes, silent.

Whenever this happens, he feels particularly guilty and desperate.

Now that he's fine, he no longer has to worry about any accidents happening to him, whether An Ning will be bullied, and he won't even tell An Ning when he's hungry. He can live well!

"Uncle Li! Don't worry!"

Xiao Han sat up, looked at the father and son and said solemnly, "An Ning is my brother. I will take care of him for the rest of his life and will not let him suffer any injustice. And of course you, I swear!"

"Me too!" Qiu Qiu also echoed.

"Me, me too!"

An Ning sat up awkwardly, covering her wound, and said loudly, "I will also take care of my father, brother, and brother Qiu Qiu for the rest of my life!"

"Well! There are also brothers Xiao Gao and Han Jie!"

Han Jie and Xiao Gao were startled, and then their eyes filled with tears. Xiao Gao looked at him with tears in his eyes and choked up, "I, my family are all gone. If you don't dislike it, I will be your brother from now on, as a biological brother." kind!"

"Of course!" An Ning smiled happily and narrowed her eyes, "Wow! I have so many brothers!"

"Thank you! Xiao Gao and I will be worthy of your trust!"

Han Jie said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

Qiu Qiu didn't say anything more. He trusted Han Jie and Xiao Gao.

It's not that he trusts people easily, how can I put it?There is a magnetic field between people. He used to have a good impression of Zhao Jianping, but this was limited to his professional ethics and thought he was a good doctor.

He brought the three of them back to the villa. His trust and favorability towards the three of them were not as much as shown. Otherwise, when An Ning confronted Zhao Qinqin for the first time, he would not have just fooled them. sentence, but criticized him on the spot for being rude.

On this point, the three of them have surprisingly consistent views.They had been watching and giving the Zhao family a chance, but it was a pity that they did not cherish it.

However, they had inexplicable trust in Xiao Gao and Han and felt that they were safe and reliable.

----

A few people sat on the kang for a while, until their stomachs growled with hunger, and then they remembered that they hadn't eaten lunch yet.

Qiu Qiu quickly got up and announced with a smile that he would have Chongqing hot pot for lunch, which made everyone very happy. After all, no one could resist the spicy and delicious taste. (Representing only the author’s personal views)

However, An Ning and Xiao Gao couldn't eat spicy food to recover from their injuries, so Qiu Qiu said that frying two light dishes for them alone made them very depressed. In the end, in order to take care of them, everyone switched to eating mandarin duck pot, and the two of them had smiled.

After Li Changqing smothered the rice, he sat at the stove and chopped meat vegetables, while Xiao Han and Han Jie squatted aside, washing vegetables with warm water.

Xiao Gao and An Ning couldn't do that yet, so they slowly packed up the kang bed, put the kang table, and then sat obediently watching them work and waiting for dinner.

Qiu Qiu personally cooked the bottom of the pot. He took out the big bones and defrosted them, then heated the oil in the pot, added a few peppercorns, ginger slices, star anise, cinnamon and grass fruits and sauteed until fragrant. Then he added the big bones and stir-fried for 2 minutes. Add a few slices of shiitake mushrooms, stir-fry, add hot water, cover the lid and simmer until the aroma is released, then put it in a mandarin duck pot and put it on the charcoal stove on the kang table. Qiu Qiu threw in a few more wolfberries and poured them into the pot. Put the bean sprouts in and wait for it to simmer slowly.

Then, after washing the pot, he directly sauteed the hot pot base ingredients with ginger and green onions, put them into the other side of the Yuanyang Pot, added boiling water, and the Yuanyang Pot base was done.

Xiao Han and Han Jie brought lunch meat, frozen tofu, dried vegetables, tripe, mutton rolls, several plates of assorted meatballs and cabbage, green vegetables, spinach, chrysanthemum, thick-cut potato slices, and yuba to the table. Another person After getting an oil plate and placing the dishes and chopsticks, everyone happily sat down and started working.

The six people who ate this meal were sweating profusely and their lips were red. The funniest thing was An Ning and Xiao Gao. They always wanted to grab the vegetables from the spicy pot without them paying attention. However, they were discovered and stopped in time every time. Then, the two looked at them with pitiful eyes and asked, "Is it true that you can't take a bite? Just a small bite!"

It looks like a puppy begging for snacks, pitiful and cute.

After cleaning up the mess, An Ning brought the cut apples to the kang table. Xiao Gao, who had been shouting that he was full, picked up a piece and bit it in his mouth, not forgetting to stuff it into Han Jie and An Ning's mouths. Got a piece.

"Qiu Qiu, you and Xiao Han can take it by yourself. I'm afraid that whoever feeds you will be beaten! Hehe!" He explained sillyly.

"Okay! Okay, eat yours!"

Qiu Qiu smiled and glared at him, "You eat more so that the frostbite can heal quickly, do you understand?"

"Ok!"

"Thank you! Qiu Qiu!"

Han Jie thanked him gratefully.

"Okay, whatever you say is nothing, as long as you are worthy of my contribution in the future!"

Qiu Qiu ate an apple, his lazy voice sounded like a smile but not a smile.

"Is there anyone? Brother Qiu, are you...?"

"what sound?"

Xiao Han sat up and said, "Qiu Qiu, someone seems to be calling you!"

"Why didn't we hear it? Are you hallucinating?"

Li Changqing listened carefully, but he heard nothing except the whirring sound of the northwest wind outside.

"I didn't hear it either!"

"Me too!"

Qiu Qiu and Xiao Gao looked at him doubtfully.

"How about I go out and take a look?"

Han Jie said, even if he really got off the kang and put on his shoes.

"Let's go together! I always feel that this voice is a bit familiar, it seems to be Zhao Qinqin!"

Xiao Han put the apple in his hand into his mouth, took out a tissue and wiped it, and then followed him to get on the Kang.

"Be careful. Although that child is young, her thoughts are not simple. Don't let her scheme!"

Li Changqing remembered that she had led Bai Jing to act up before, so she kindly reminded the two of them.

"Understood!" Xiao Han and Han Jie got dressed, smiled at everyone, and went out.

The two walked to the front yard, and the familiar call came to their ears. Who is Zhao Qinqin?

Xiao Han stood in the courtyard, originally about to ask a question, but suddenly his ears twitched, and he gestured to Han Jie. Neither of them spoke, and they stood quietly in the courtyard without moving.

About a minute or two later, Zhao Qinqin shouted again, "Brother Qiu Qiu, Brother Xiao, are you at home?"

"No one answered, are you out?"

A strange man's voice sounded outside the courtyard door.

"possible!"

"Let's do this! Anyway, my two brothers said that they want me to take care of the house. You just give me the rent first, and then I'll just hand it over to them!"

Zhao Qinqin continued, "It's too cold today, so let's not stand here. When they come back, you can come visit us again!"

"Okay! Let's go back first!"

After a while, the sound of two people walking away was heard outside the hospital.

The two looked at each other, opened the secret passage and went in quietly. When they arrived at the door next door, they looked through the peephole and saw that no one was there. Xiao Han asked Han Jie to guard him while he opened the door and entered the yard. Ten minutes later , came back with an ugly face, and said to Han Jie, "Let's go back!"

"it is good!"

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Han Jie didn't ask any questions. He quietly locked the door and silently followed him back to the kang room in the backyard.

"what happened?"

Qiu Qiu looked at Xiao Han with an ugly face in confusion and asked Han Jie.

Han Jie shook his head, then spread his hands, saying that he didn't know.

"What's going on, Xiao Han?"

Li Changqing tugged on his arm, "You two get on the kang first and cover yourself up. You are almost turning into a popsicle!"

"Ok!"

The two of them couldn't stand it anymore. They felt like their toes were about to freeze off. They took off their coats and pants, and quickly put their shoes on the kang. Qiu Qiu poured them two cups of hot water, "Drink some first, mouth." The skin is dry and cracked!”

He pointed at their gaping lips.

"Okay, thank you!" Han Jie smiled at him, picked up the cup, blew on it, and took a big sip. Only then did he feel better!

Xiao Gao watched him finish drinking the water, then took out the lip balm Qiu Qiu gave him and applied a thick layer on Han Jie's mouth, "Okay, this will make it less likely to crack and bleed!"

"Yeah! You also remember to apply it!"

Han Jie stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms, and rubbed his chin on the top of his hair, "And don't cover your feet under the quilt for too long, otherwise you will be itchy from frostbite if you wait too long to heal!"

"I know! An Ning keeps reminding me, and I'm afraid I'll forget."

Xiao Gao looked up at him, then looked at An Ning and smiled at him.

After thinking about it, he asked again, "Xiao Han, what happened? Are you so angry?"

"Yes! Brother Han!"

Qiu Qiu frowned and asked, "Just now, when you heard Zhao Qinqin's voice, did her family do something good?"

"Huh! It's not just a good thing!"

When Xiao Han thought about the scene he saw, he felt panicked. He really had to admire this little girl Zhao Qinqin. She was a few months younger than An Ning, but her scheming was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

“She rented a room in the villa next door to a family of three.

She told people that she was our sister and she was there to show me the house.

The house rent is 50 kilograms of rice a month. If not, you can use other things to pay off the debt. She will come to us to discuss the specific relevant value.

snort!It’s really amazing! She lives in Uncle Li’s house and uses us to make money. This little girl is really amazing!”

After hearing what he said, Li Changqing's face turned ugly. He was really disgusted with this family, so disgusting. However, considering that they were seeking their own death, and their cleverness was misled by their cleverness, he would endure it first and see. How they will go to hell then.

"Let her do it, don't worry about it, I'll see how they end up!"

Qiu Qiu understood immediately, and raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth, "Brother Han, if Zhao Qinqin brings someone to call the door again and asks you to "support" her, don't refuse, don't cater, just let those people The tenant just thinks that she is really looking after the house!"

"You mean..."

Qiu Qiu nodded towards him.

Xiao Han's heart became clear, and the turbid air in his chest dissipated instantly, "Okay, I want to take a good look at what she can do!"

"This is a good idea!" Han Jie also agreed with a smile.

An Ning and Xiao Gao looked at the four of them in confusion, scratching their heads in confusion, not understanding what they were talking about!

----

The villa next door, the Zhao family's bedroom.

Zhao Jianping and his wife looked at their daughter who was sorting out supplies in the corner with proud faces.

"Qinqin, cough! Thank you for thinking of this good idea, otherwise we would either freeze to death or starve to death!"

Bai Jing looked at her daughter lovingly and said.

"Yes!"

Zhao Jianping took over and said with a smile, "Fortunately, my daughter reminded us to move the pots, supplies in the kitchen, and the remaining things in other rooms to the first floor and lock them up overnight, otherwise we wouldn't be able to rent such a good apartment. Price!"

There was a hint of pride in Zhao Qinqin's heart, and she raised her head and said with some disdain, "Qiu Qiu and the others thought they were self-righteous and thought they had driven us to a dead end, but they didn't expect that I, Zhao Qinqin, am extremely smart and can survive in any desperate situation. Live!” (I have to say that this girl has watched too many brainless inspirational TV series)

"That's right! How outstanding my daughter is!"

Bai Jing thought of their faces, and her heart was full of resentment, and her words were even more mean, "Unlike them, they are either TXL or autistic, and they still feel that they are superior to others. In a peaceful society, such people should be shot!"

"Bai Jing, why are you talking?"

Zhao Jianping was a little angry. Although he also hated Qiu Qiu, Li Changqing and the others, he did not expect that his wife, a highly educated and educated person, could actually say such ugly words, which simply destroyed her noble and holy image in his heart. It made him feel a little bored.

Bai Jing was startled by his fierce tone. Seeing his angry face, she felt aggrieved. Tears fell down, "Are you actually mean to me? You said you would always be nice to me. This It has only been a while, but you have been cruel to me, wuwu! I can’t live anymore!”

The more Bai Jing thought about it, the sadder she became. Over the past six months, she had really had enough. She couldn't eat well, live well, her body was out of shape, her skin couldn't be cared for, and she had become much older. Two days ago, for the sake of her family, In the future, she was shameless, wallowing, and finally caught a cold. She had sacrificed so much for this family, but in the end, her husband did not say he felt sorry for her, but instead killed her for the sake of his enemy. Did he forget? What will happen to their family? Is it all the fault of those people today?

Zhao Jianping really didn't expect that his wife would become unforgiving and cry non-stop, just like a shrew. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up from the bed and said with an ugly expression. , "I'm going out for some air!"

Then he walked to the door, opened the door vigorously, walked out and slammed the door shut.

Bai Jing was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Zhao Jianping would just leave like that. According to the previous routine, shouldn't he hug her and admit his mistake immediately and coax her?

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and she began to whimper and cry again. While crying, she scolded her husband for being inconsiderate, not loving him, and other crimes.

"Okay! Have you cried enough?"

Zhao Qinqin was tired of listening to the sidelines, and she felt a little disgusted with her mother. She looked up at Bai Jing, who was dumbfounded by her yelling, and said impatiently, "Mom, how long has it been since you cried and had a bad temper?" , are you too full? , you are looking for trouble every day, what a good man my dad is and you are not satisfied? I tell you, if you keep making trouble like this, be careful one day he can't stand it anymore and doesn't want you anymore, just wait Let’s starve to death and freeze to death!”

Bai Jing was stupid again. She didn't expect that her daughter would say such disrespectful and unpleasant words to her, which made her very angry and ugly. But after thinking about it, she felt that what her daughter said was reasonable. If Zhao Jianping disliked her, If she really abandoned her, how sad would her life be? Bai Jing couldn't bear to think about it. She was willful, but not stupid. At this time, she couldn't care less about face.

She looked at Zhao Qinqin and cried in a panic, "Daughter, daughter, you must help mom. I love your dad so much. If I leave him, I won't be able to survive, woo woo!"

"Don't worry! As long as you listen to me, I promise that dad will not abandon you. I don't want to have a good family and break up like this!"

The impatience on Zhao Qin's face disappeared, and he reluctantly went up to hug the crying Bai Jing and comforted her in a low voice.

The mother and daughter were miserable in the room, but Zhao Jianping and the new tenant's family of three were chatting and laughing in the kitchen, without looking as gloomy as before.

After listening carefully, it turned out that it was the new tenant Shi Zhenxiang who was discussing rental cooperation with him!

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, Brother Shi!"

Zhao Jianping expressed gratitude to him.

Shi Zhenxiang smiled and replied, "Don't worry! Brother Zhao, I will go down to find guests for you tomorrow, but..."

He raised his right hand and rubbed his thumb and index finger in front of Zhao Jianping.

"clear!"

Zhao Jianping also showed him two fingers, "As long as the people you bring meet the requirements, my family will provide you with two kilograms of rice. If there is no rice, I will use other supplies to offset it. How about that?"

"Okay, then it's settled!"

Shi Zhenxiang patted Zhao Jianping's arm and laughed.

The atmosphere was good, so the two chatted about other topics. Shi Zhenxiang's wife Jasmine, who had been silent for a long time, was drinking hot water while looking at the tall and handsome Zhao Jianping quietly through the mist, with a hint of determination to win at the corner of her mouth. smile.
