Chapter 27


Qiao Songzhi said with a smile: "My mother, it's alright, it's all a family. Besides, living a life is not just about eating, drinking and lhasa, there is nothing to avoid. My father-in-law is right, our family does store a lot of things, enough for us. The whole family uses it."

"Qingqing is still capable. I have so many things at home, thanks to Qingqing." Mother Shao said embarrassedly, "And what kind of sand, cat litter, that is also easy to use."

"We There is no smell at home, but the water outside smells so bad, the cat litter is really easy to use." Qiao Songzhi said.

"As soon as the door of the house next door opened, there was a stench. It smelled like the water downstairs. It should be because the drain was poured back, and it was not blocked tightly." Shao's mother added.

"I can't help it, when will the water recede?"

Most of the people's topics were similar to Qiao Qingqing's family, and finally ended with the hope that the flood would recede.

Yes, when are you going back?

Qiao Qingqing did not speak quietly, she would retire, but not now.

After dinner, Shao Shengan went to wash the dishes, Qiao Qingqing went to the terrace to see his harvest today, the wet branches had been arranged by Shao's father and spread out on the ground to dry. She looked up at the sky, the sky was still cloudy after the rain stopped, and she probably remembered that the sun would not appear until it warmed up a lot.

The big temperature rises before the big cooling, and it will be a few years before the sun comes out.

There is enough fuel at home, and the wood can be used to dry clothes.

"Sister, someone is knocking on the door outside!" Qiao Qingqing heard Shao Shengfei say this as soon as he went downstairs.

"I'll take a look."

Zheng Tiehui was knocking on the door.

"What's the matter, Uncle Zheng?" Qiao Qingqing asked through the door.

"Ha Qingqing, the lights in your house are quite bright. It's good to have a generator. I want to charge my mobile phone and computer in your house. Can I do it?

"

Zheng Tiehui sighed: "Neighbors and neighbors, you are too clear about the calculation. You have the generator on, and it doesn't take much electricity to charge the electronic equipment."

"As long as the generator is turned on, it needs to burn gasoline. Uncle Zheng, if I don't charge it, I'll close the door." "Okay

, exchange, how many times can this jade ring be charged?"

Qiao Qingqing took it and looked at it and said, "Ten times."

Zheng Tiehui couldn't hide the pain in his eyes. , but now the supplies are in short supply, there is no way!

After stuffing a bag of electronic equipment into Qiao Qingqing, he went back. She opened the bag and saw that there were five mobile phones, two laptops, three iPads and six rechargeable flashlights. Just as the door was about to close, there was movement in the corridor. It was Grandma Wang who came over, and also stuffed a bag through the crack of the iron door, and then gave her another bag: "This is the bean sprouts I made myself, thanks to the first two months. I don't know who sent the wrong thing. The courier said that the sender could not be contacted, and he said that he sent me. Oh, I am so sorry! Now there are so many mung beans and potatoes at home, and I can't finish them all. I'm scared to eat it. There's a lot left, and I've been trying to grow bean sprouts these past few days, and I'm actually growing potatoes. Now I'm planting potatoes, and I'll change the electricity for you when I look back."

Qiao Qingqing responded with a smile: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to replace it with potatoes. This bag of bean sprouts is really fresh. I'm short of this rare thing now, so it's worth five times of charging."

Grandma Wang happily went downstairs holding the railing. When Qiao Qingqing entered the house and closed the door, she heard her loud voice saying, "It's changed! Go to bed early tonight and there will be a flashlight tomorrow night."

There were only two lights in the living room and the kitchen. Qiao Songzhi was folding clothes. When she saw her coming in, she laughed and looked around. Seeing her mother and the others were upstairs, Shao Shengfei was dozing beside her, so she whispered, "Your hands are really high. Aunt Wang really sent out bean sprouts to grow potatoes. This is called giving a man a fish instead of teaching him how to fish."

"Mom, I'm not that great." Qiao Qingqing smiled bitterly.

Qiao Songzhi touched her daughter's head, her eyes full of tenderness.

This bag of bean sprouts was fried the next day, and the side dish was the shallots grown on the balcony, which tasted crisp, tender and fresh.

In fact, there are a lot of things planted at home, but because there is enough storage at home, even if you don't plant it yourself, Qiao Qingqing didn't put a lot of thought on it, planting some shallots and garlic sprouts, and just pinch a little to use them when cooking. almost.

But Shao's father and Shao's mother thought this was a really good idea: "We can also grow bean sprouts by ourselves, do you have mung beans

at home?" We have everything at home.

Qiao Qingqing took out mung beans and potatoes, thought about it, and then took out a few vegetable seeds. Sure enough, Shao's father and Shao's mother were greatly surprised!

"Oh, why do you have everything at home, Qingqing, you are this, the blue cat!"

Shao Shengfei shouted: "Doraemon!"

Shao's mother laughed until her eyes were full of wrinkles: "Yes, Feifei is really smart. , is Doraemon."

After this day, Shao's father finally found his own career, that is, growing vegetables, the original shallots were not enough for him, and now there is room for him to play.

Qiao Qingqing knew that she, her husband and her mother knew that there was no shortage of supplies at home, but only the in-laws were kept in the dark, and the anxiety of their husband and wife was increasing day by day.

"Tell your son-in-law, let him tell your parents, they will be frightened." Qiao Songzhi said to Qiao Qingqing, "It's all a family, and at this point, it's meaningless to hide it, and it seems to be born." She is a wise mother who is full of thought for her daughter. Through the two months of getting along, she is sure that as long as the son-in-law and the brothers are the weak points of the in-laws and husbands, just like the daughter is to her. As long as it is for the sake of the child, the in-laws will definitely keep this secret, and they will value their daughter more.

"I told Sheng An, he said he would find time to talk, Mom, let Sheng An arrange it."

In addition to living supplies, Qiao Qingqing also bought a lot of e-books, among which reference books, agricultural books and medical books are the most . Seeing that Shao's father was in high spirits, she took out the iPad to teach him how to use it. Shao's father was stunned that he couldn't learn it, and he didn't dare to touch with his fingers. As a result, Shao Shengfei, who was watching from the side, learned it and became Shao's little assistant reading agricultural books. , In addition to fishing, watering the shallots, going to the kitchen, and adding a new one to his daily tasks: flipping books for his dad.

I soon had fresh bean sprouts at home, and other vegetables that were planted began to sprout seedlings one after another. But Qiao Qingqing still accepted the deal from Grandma Wang's house, and when Chen Binggang and the others needed to charge, they also exchanged branches or other supplies.

Humans are so adaptable.

Until this day, the rescue plane did not appear in the past, and the atmosphere in the building suddenly became solemn.

"It seems that the plane didn't come today. It's too strange."

"What's going on? Why is there no plane to deliver things when the rain stopped?"

Originally, every other day, countless rescues could be seen in this area. Airplanes, they will skim buildings and drop boxes of supplies, bringing hope to everyone. Chasing the sound of the propellers in the rain has become the biggest fun for children, and children can even detect the arrival of the plane faster than adults.

But on this day, the sky was so quiet that only the sound of birds spreading their wings could be heard.

"What's the matter? There's really no movement! Usually, I fly to the building in front of me at this time!"

Three days later, the plane is still missing.

In Jinyuan Community, the residents on the seventh and eighth floors all gathered on the rooftop. The rooftop of Qiao Qingqing's house was surrounded, so everyone gathered at Zheng Tiehui's house and raised their heads to capture the changes in the sky.

There was no movement.

"Then divide the previous inventory first. Probably there is no way to divide it into one person, so cut it up." Grandpa Wang suggested.

Shao Shengan went home to move the boxes, and all the supplies were distributed at Zheng Tiehui's house. Everyone took their share and left with a heavy heart.

Someone in the next building was shouting: "The last time I went out, I heard that the supplies were delivered from the Furun Building! The plane is parked on the rooftop of Furun! Would you like to go to Furun Supermarket with me to see and inquire. The situation!"

Zheng Tiehui was moved, Qiao Qingqing didn't want to go, she knew the result, the boat that delivered the supplies in the afternoon would come over, there was no need to waste the energy of the assault boat.

Zheng Tiehui and his son went out, and everyone expected them to bring good news.

"Don't be afraid, the vegetables at home are almost ready, and they can hold up." Father Shao said and went upstairs to serve the vegetables again.

Qiao Qingqing glanced at Shao Shengan, who smiled at her.

Two hours later, Zheng Tiehui and his son came back.

"There is a ship! The ship is sending supplies today! I have inquired about it. In the future, it will send supplies for three days at a time. The ship is good. It has a lot of things loaded. It is long overdue to use the ship!" Zheng Tiehui's cheeks flushed with excitement!

"Really or not? This is great! Will the use of ships to deliver supplies is no longer limited to compressed biscuits that are small and easy to carry? I want to eat other things, and I don't want to eat compressed biscuits anymore!" Zheng Liangying, daughter of Zheng Tiehui, is very excited Excited, asked again and again. Zheng Tiehui

assured that the news was true: "I also took pictures. Many ships will arrive in our area at the latest in the afternoon!" It started to get dark around 5:00 pm.





Waiting for the patience of many people to gradually disappear, those who have no food and only rely on relief materials are even more anxious.

Qiao Qingqing's family was on the terrace, quietly waiting for the arrival of the ship.

"Come! The ship is here!" Shao Shengfei stood up and pointed into the distance.

At the same time, there was also an exclamation from the Zheng family next door: "Boat! Relief supplies are here!

" Pass it on:

"Notice! The former Jinyuan Primary School is a temporary material delivery point, and the relief materials are collected according to the ID card or household registration book. Everyone comes to collect them in time!"

"Notice! The former Jinyuan Primary School is a temporary material..."

The person who heard Overjoyed, he looked out of the window and shouted: "Go out without tools! Can you bring it home?"

"Yes! Can't you bring it home?!"

Someone on an assault boat responded loudly with a loudspeaker: "If you go out without tools, you can Hang cloth strips outside the window! We will deliver! But you need to wait!"

"Go to Jinyuan Primary School to get supplies, and pick up Wang Jiale and Uncle Chen along the way." Qiao Qingqing exhaled and said with a smile, "Today we dispatched two ships. Charge boat."

"I want to go too, can I go, sister?"

"Feifei, we won't go, my brother and sister have something important." Shao's mother hurriedly coaxed him.

"I'll take big brother another day, okay? Today is the first time a material ship has come, I'm afraid it will be messy." Shao Shengan took Qiao Qingqing's hand, "Let's go, get the supplies."

Qiao Songzhi took the lead downstairs: "I Go get the ID card!"

Shao's mother also responded: "I'm going to get the household registration book!"
