walk alone.

Chapter 27

Although due to the cold weather and heavy snowfall, there are few pedestrians in the once bustling county town, and many small shops on the street have also closed their doors for vacation in advance, but large supermarkets and stores are still open normally, which did not let Qin Bin The trip with Liu Qingquan was in vain.After parking the car, Qin Bin and Koizumi each took half of the shopping list, made an appointment to meet, and split up energetically.

Koizumi's grandfather is simple and honest on the outside, but very shrewd on the inside.After the strange rain that lasted for more than half a month in September finally stopped, the price of grain soared more than three times than before. Many people in the village were ecstatic and sold almost all the grain they had saved during the wheat harvest in June. , the original deflated pocket has become bulging, not to mention how proud it is.However, Mr. Chen only sold some of the stale grain accumulated in previous years, and the new grain harvested this year was quietly piled up in a room on the second floor of the main house, but the granary in the west wing was empty.Everyone else in the village was dazzled by the rare "good luck", so how could they pay attention to the anomalies of Chen's family?Therefore, without making any noise, Mr. Chen and his wife saved enough food for a normal family of five (husband and wife, children and parents) to last for ten years, plus the bag that Qin Bin and the others brought back last night. The rice noodles are enough to feed their three elders, two children and five people for 20 years, so there is no shortage of food at home. When they go shopping this time, there is no food on the shopping list.

Although food alone can guarantee that people will not starve to death, life will not be much better.Although Qin Bin has a premonition that the future of this world is not peaceful, but what the real situation will look like, let alone him in the middle stage of the golden core, even the old monsters in the tribulation stage are not capable of this!But it's always right to make complete preparations early, so be prepared.

Qin Bin and Liu Qingquan have a clear division of labor. Liu Qingquan is mainly responsible for purchasing quilts, cotton-padded clothes, cotton shoes, gas tanks, solar generators, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste and other toiletries that can ensure them through this cold winter.And Qin Bin is in charge of food. Boxes of fruits, seasonings, vacuum vegetables, dried goods, fresh meat and various canned foods are loaded into the car. Of course, snacks such as peanuts, melon seeds, and candies that are indispensable during the Chinese New Year are also available. I bought a lot.The purchasing place is almost here, and they also went to the pharmacy to buy a lot of regular medicines and vitamin chewable tablets. Although they firmly believe that with him, it is unlikely that the elderly and Koizumi will get sick, but it is always good to have more, after all they But I don't know that I am a monk.

Heavy snow days also have the benefits of heavy snow days. Qin Bin and the two returned home with a full load and met no one along the way, which saved some unnecessary troubles.Of course, it may also be related to the confusion array that Qin Bin painted on the entire car body. Even if someone accidentally heard the sound of the car or vaguely saw the figure of the car, they would be dazed for a moment under the effect of the confusion array. In their memory, only the white snowflakes.

After returning home and quickly unloading and putting away the full stuff, the two old ladies who felt distressed hurriedly pulled Qin Bin and Liu Qingquan into the master bedroom where the kang was burned, and asked them to warm up .Not to mention Qin Bin whose body has gradually become invulnerable to cold and heat, even Koizumi who has practiced martial arts for half a year, is not very afraid of the cold now.But seeing the distressed expressions of the two old ladies, they didn't shirk their thoughtfulness, and just sat on the kang and obediently drank the ginger soup that the old lady made for them.

Qin Bin and Liu Qingquan are not girls after all, and they really can't stand watching the TV dramas about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that old ladies like, so after drinking the ginger soup, the two of them went upstairs carrying the solar generator , Prepare to study it carefully and see if you can install it yourself.The two old ladies let them go upstairs after a few words of advice.

Qin Bin specialized in the research of solar generators when he was free, and installed one in the newly built log cabin in Sumeru Space.As the saying goes, obedience makes perfect, and he already has a little experience to assemble it, so it is not difficult to assemble it. When he is finally done, taking advantage of the gap between Koizumi to pour water and drink, Qin Bin very quickly blesses the space to ignore the array and strengthen it. A similar set of solar generators for the array and the space expansion array (mainly the light-receiving area) was taken out and quickly replaced. After Koizumi came back, they worked together to install it in case of emergency.

After finally finishing their work, Qin Bin and Liu Qingquan were finally at leisure.Because the Zaojiao village is remote and far away from the county seat, most of the young and middle-aged people in the village work outside all the year round, leaving only the elderly and children, so there is no network cable in the village.Fortunately, Qin Bin and Liu Qingquan bought less than 600G of the 5G data wireless network tariff card they bought before they came back. It is estimated that they will not have to worry about surfing the Internet for a long time.

Going online, listening to music, and soon it was lunch time.Qin Bin and Liu Qingquan took the initiative to go downstairs early. They were going to help the two old ladies wash their hands and vegetables. Unexpectedly, as soon as they got downstairs, they were surprised to find that there were many people in the main room downstairs, and the adults were talking. Nibbling melon seeds, there were a few children dressed like balls running wildly chattering, and the whole room was noisy.

"Ah Qing, Binbin, are you awake?" Seeing Qin Bin and the two of them going downstairs, Mrs. Chen hurriedly stepped forward cheerfully, and smiled and said to the few women around who didn't look very friendly: "Sister-in-law Second sister-in-law, fourth sibling, fifth sibling, don't mind, these two children drove the car for a whole day instead, but they were exhausted, and they didn't wake up until now."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the old ladies to speak, he took Qin Bin's hand and introduced: "This is the eldest grandson of my sister's family, named Qin Bin. Come, Binbin, say hello to the grandma, cousins ​​and aunts." ..."

Although Qin Bin didn't like the unfriendly women in front of him, in order not to make things difficult for the old lady and Mrs. Chen, he still politely and distantly called out to his grandma, cousin, and aunt.

"Oh, it's not the sister-in-law who said you, the third family, it's hard for anyone in this snowy day. We borrowed food from you before. Didn't you say that there is not enough food for us at home? Why are you taking care of your family at this time? Elder sister? Are you afraid of not having enough food now? After all, we are sisters-in-law for decades, and the bones are still connected after discounting. You are kind, you didn’t give birth to a son for our old Chen family, and it’s fine to help the third child inherit the incense, why? The elbow is still turning out?" Mrs. Chen's sister-in-law Liu Caihua didn't care about the juniors and guests present, and she gave Mrs. Chen a shame. The tone of the question made people think that Qin Bin's grandfather and grandson She lives in her family's house and eats her family's food.

"How did sister-in-law talk? Why did my sister become an outsider? I haven't seen my old sister for many years. Who did my sister live in my house for a few days? Also, don't tell me my sister brought rations. , even if I don’t bring anything, I, as my own sister, will not be short of my sister’s food. What does our old sister’s relationship have to do with my sister-in-law? Why do you run on me like this?” Mrs. Chen didn’t expect Seeing that Liu Caihua is so shameless, saying such things in front of the guests, she immediately became angry, and she was about to kick people out when she slapped the table.

"Okay, okay, third sister-in-law, don't be angry, sister-in-law doesn't mean that, and it's not like you don't know, sister-in-law has a bad mouth, but she doesn't have any evil intentions." Mrs. Chen's fourth younger siblings obviously opened their eyes and told nonsense, but Mrs. Chen The wife is not a narrow-minded person, and she didn't completely tear herself apart from Liu Caihua after seeing someone persuade her.It's just that Mrs. Chen's four younger siblings seem to be good-natured people, and they are also kind-hearted, but in fact they are definitely not like that. Just listen to her next sentence. "Sister Chen (Ms. Chen's surname is Chen, so Grandma Li, as Mrs. Chen's sister, naturally has the surname Chen), you have brought a lot of things here? Your car is really spacious, and it probably can hold a lot. thing."

"We went back to City S after the New Year. We didn't bring much food. It's probably enough for our grandparents and grandchildren to eat for a month. It's a snowy day, and the road is not easy to walk. The car slipped on the road. Yesterday Binbin and Ah The two children of Qing drove alternately for a whole day, but I was terrified, I was afraid the car would overturn..." The old lady looked terrified, and pretended not to recognize Zhu Xiu, the fourth younger sister of Mrs. Chen. The implication is that this hypocritical hypocrite was blocked for a long time without speaking.

"Hey, who knows how long the floods have passed, and now there is another snowstorm. If we had known earlier, our family would not be greedy for the skyrocketing price of food. Now it's all right, the food is all gone. It’s sold, if the snow doesn’t stop, we’ll all die..." Zhu Xiu’s words aroused the strong approval of several women from outside and abroad, and they all looked out the window with sad faces, wondering how to get through this winter. worry.

"What the fourth sibling said is too exaggerated, right? Didn't you sell only half of the grain? How could you sell all of it?" Thinking of the reason why these women wanted to attack her family, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but stare blankly. The wife who roasted sweet potatoes for the children by the kang, if it wasn't for the kindness of this old man who obstructed his heartless and dissatisfied brothers when the villagers happily went to sell grain, these wives would plot against their family ?
