Chapter 71

After that, sometimes Qiao Songzhi and Shao's mother changed shifts, and Shao's mother came out to breathe fresh air. She was at home to crochet hairpins, and Shao's mother helped her sell it. The three women in the family felt that their lives were full and happy.

Qiao Qingqing's business has also slowly started, and all the people who came to her for treatment have recovered, and her fees are not expensive, so the word of mouth will naturally spread.

People from Akiba Village also came over one after another, saying that they had been looking for her for a long time.

The sixth son said excitedly: "I looked everywhere after I got off work, and I found it! The villagers were scattered after the lottery. It is very difficult to reunite."

Qiao Qingqing was also very happy to see the sixth son, and asked How is his nephew?

"It's pretty good. Recently, my appetite has increased. My mother said that it's a blessing to eat more. You can grow up by eating more."

Qiao Qingqing nodded: "Then what are you looking for?"

Liuzi scratched his head: "I think I want to buy some ointment from you, Miss Qiao, your ointment for bruises is very useful. A colleague of mine injured his hand and it hasn't healed. I told him that I know a doctor who is very good and has a very useful ointment. , he asked me to help buy the ointment." "Okay

, I just boiled a little today, so I'll fill you a bottle."

"Then I'll go back to him to get the consultation fee, Miss Qiao, is that the price?"

" Yes, the price has not changed."

Liu Zi was very happy: "Then I will come after a while, and I will also tell others the news that you live in Building 20 of Ping'an Community. I heard the eighth aunt said that her daughter has a cold and cough. I want to see your doctor!"

Qiao Qingqing laughed: "Okay." Once the

"regular customer" came, Qiao Qingqing's business became more stable.

Several people in the family are earning materials, which greatly slows down the consumption of materials in the space. In addition to watermelon, apples and other fruits as usual, the ingredients and finished food in the space will be taken out for consumption every few days. One is to satisfy cravings, and the other is to provide nutrition for the family.

Even if the space materials are sufficient, the rapid consumption of space materials will make her anxious, and now that anxiety is gone.

Husband did not know how much effort he put in, working one after another without stopping. He only came back two or three times a month, and each time Qiao Qingqing prepared windy meals for him and stewed supplements for him, just for fear that he would be exhausted.

Shao Shengan is very tired physically, but he is very satisfied psychologically. He also has his wife's anxiety. Now this busy state also makes him feel at ease. By earning more supplies and saving up, he will be able to face more changes with more courage and confidence in the future.

The days in the new community are very safe and stable. The security team patrols everywhere, and the safety factor of night travel is very high. Under the general environment, most people try their best to find new ways of life and production, and strive to add assets to their family business.

Three months later, the new government announced that the high temperature resistant sweet potato No. 5 and the high temperature resistant potato No. 12 were technologically mature. In addition to large-scale planting on the farm, some seeds will be put into each family unit to encourage survivors to plant at home.

"It's said to be distributed for free! I'm so happy!"

"Should we go digging soil together? I know there is a place with land!"

"It's a pity, the village was pushed down to build a house, and the original land was gone, otherwise Now my family has ten acres of land that can be planted!"

"Don't think too much, you really don't have as much water to farm with ten acres of land. Do you know what the soil is doing now? I see, that's all. The soil in a small basin will be dry without pouring half a bucket of water!"

Qiao Qingqing's family was also delighted by the news. The variety of seeds she has stored is considerable, but this weather is obviously not good for planting, and the survival rate is too low, which is not comparable to the high-temperature resistant varieties researched by the base.

"Our family has two houses, and most of them grow potatoes and sweet potatoes locally." Father Shao can't wait to quit his job tomorrow and go home to grow sweet potatoes. But he gave up after thinking about it. Potatoes and sweet potatoes can be planted after get off work. He did a good job in his job. It is a pity to resign.

"You have to dig outside, do you know where there is?" Shao's mother asked Shao's father, thinking that he was cleaning outside and must be familiar with the road.

"I'm going to inquire." Father Shao took over the task and brought back an address after get off work the next day.

"It's not far, just three miles away. The house over there has not been built yet, so the soil can be dug as you like. I'm taking time off with my colleagues. I'll dig when the sun goes down in the evening. I'm afraid I won't be able to dig if it's too late."

Qiao Qingqing After walking for a while, he took out a bicycle for them to use in a remote place. Shao's father and Shao's mother set out together, stepped on the pedals quickly, and soon disappeared. She smiled and turned to go home.

When Shao's father and Shao's mother came home, there was an extra bicycle in their home.

After the soil was transported back, Father Shao counted the days and waited for the seeds of hair.

Looking forward to looking forward to it, the time has finally been set, and every household can receive a copy, and the collection location is at the door of each community.

Before the sun went down, people began to gather at the gate of Ping'an Community. Qiao Qingqing persuaded him not to do so. Shao's father put on a sunshade, a hat, an umbrella, and a bucket before going to line up. She had to give him the household registration book and his ID card, and then filled him with a bottle of honey water and asked him to occupy a seat in line.

"Don't worry about him, his skin is thick, he's used to it!" Mother Shao said with a smile. "How many degrees is it now? Let me see—" Qiao Songzhi

looked at the outdoor thermometer, "Forty-five degrees, about the same as usual, it should drop by seven or eight degrees when the sun goes down."

Looking at the numbers on the thermometer, I was not as frightened as before.

She feels that her body has adapted to the heat and sweating. Although the environment is harsh, their family never treats them badly. She even feels that her body is stronger than before.

"I don't know how long this weather will last. The clothes are damaged too fast, and they are all marinated by sweat." Shao's mother lowered her head and bit the thread, and was repairing one of Shao's father's clothes. How durable the clothes used to be, they can be used for seven or eight years, but now this one was worn three months ago, and it has already been worn thin! The elbow cuffs were worn the most, they were worn several times, and they were patched up layer after layer.

She shook her clothes and shook her head: "I can't make up any more, next time I just cut off the sleeves for him to make short sleeves for him to wear at home!"

"It's okay, everyone is like this now, they are all made up." Qiao Songzhi laughed say.

"Sheng An said that there are rich people in the villa area. The family that just installed the water and electricity also held a banquet for the new house. He said that all the guests who came were wearing suits and ties, and the women also wore such long skirts. It's the same." Shao's mother started talking, "You said that the banquet is also the same as the TV. It is a long table with a lot of food and drink. Do you want to eat and drink?"

Qiao Songzhi thought for a while: "It should be, rich people must have a good life."

Shao's mother said with emotion: "It's good for rich people, only then can someone hire Sheng An to work, they are also generous, and the rice and noodles they give are all It's good, it's not bad."

After chatting some gossip about the rich, Qiao Qingqing was ready to set up a stall.

Although it is always troublesome to go out, she doesn't want to use her home as a clinic. Too many outsiders go upstairs and go in and out, which is not very safe. She would rather work downstairs to set up a stall than cause trouble.

After setting up the stall until more than two o'clock in the morning, Father Shao, who had been in line for seven hours, finally came back. He walked back to the community with heavy and tired steps, but the joy on his face was clearly visible.

"Dad!" Qiao Qingqing shouted.

He raised his head, made a sound of "hey", and stepped over to pat Shao Shengfei's head first, and then took the stool that Qiao Qingqing handed him. After sitting down, he breathed a sigh of relief and regretted: "I knew I had brought a chair. Many elder brothers and elder sisters have brought chairs. I only remembered when I got there, and regretted it!"

"Dad drink water." Qiao Qingqing Pour him a glass of cool white water, and Father Shao took it and drank it all in one gulp.

"I don't need to drink it anymore. I drank all the honey water you filled for me. I've been sweating all the time. It's too hot!" But Father Shao was still very happy. Qiao Qingqing and Shao Shengfei, "Look! Sweet potato seedlings and sprouted potatoes!"

Shao Shengfei probed, Qiao Qingqing lowered his head.

There were several green sweet potato shoots in the bucket, and a whole sprouted potato.

"I have cleaned up the soil at home, and added grass and ash several times. I can plant the sweet potato seedlings when I get home. I will cut this potato when I get home. I say that every piece I cut should have buds. There are buds. Experts also said that it should be cut in a place without the sun, otherwise it will be too hot and the potato sprouts will die. We have a big place. I take good care of these sweet potatoes and potatoes. After planting, I can save the seeds myself. At that time, we can plant more and more, and plant more and more..." Thinking of the picture of potatoes and sweet potatoes growing all over the ground, Shao's father was very beautiful.

"Dad, I also plant it, I want to plant this!" Shao Shengfei carefully picked up a sweet potato seedling, which he thought was the most beautiful.

"Okay, I'll plant it for you, put it in quickly, there is a layer of soil in my bucket, I'll plant it for you when I come home."

"Then let's close the stall in advance today, let's go home and plant sweet potatoes." Qiao Qingqing said with a smile.

"Okay!" Shao Shengfei clapped his hands.

Father Shao helped put away the booth, handed the bucket to Shao Shengfei to carry, and stepped into the car: "I'll drive, you sit in the back."

Qiao Qingqing and Shao Shengfei sat in the back, Shao Shengfei held the bucket and took Qiao Qingqing's hand : "Sit down, sister, don't fall."

"Understood eldest brother." The

tricycle was locked in the empty house on the first floor, with several locks, and finally two layers of sunshade cloth.

No one lives in 101 yet, and is temporarily used as a parking lot by the residents of this building.

Shao's father picked up the desk and chair and was a little worried: "What if someone lives in this room in the future, there is no place to put the car." Bicycles can be carried upstairs, but motorcycles and tricycles can't.

"Let's plan later, there will always be a way, Dad, let's go upstairs." The

sweet potato seedlings and potato sprouts were brought back and planted immediately. Shao Shengfei also didn't want to go out to watch the stall, and guarded the sweet potatoes and potatoes on the sixth and seventh floors, taking good care of them.

High temperature-resistant sweet potatoes and potatoes do not require much water, and they are not afraid of high temperatures, but they still need to be watered regularly, and they cannot be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, but they also need a certain amount of light a day.

In order to take care of the crops, Shao Shengfei adjusted his schedule, working during the day and sleeping at night. Shao Shengfei is very strong, and he can move all the crops to the roof by himself, and then move them down after calculating the time.

Move up, move down, and the day goes by.

When Qiao Qingqing and the others woke up and went out to set up a stall, Shao Shengfei was already sound asleep.

The family had to keep someone to look after the house, so Mother Shao stopped going out and stayed at home to watch Shao Shengfei and his crops.

When Shao Shengan came home, he saw his eldest brother who had been tanned several times and had significantly strengthened arm muscles.

"What did eldest brother do recently, how did he train such a muscle and still get so

tanned?" After Shao's mother told him what had happened, Shao Shengan was also quite relieved: "Brother has grown up."

When he returned home, Shao Shengfei had just After he had finished eating and was about to go to bed, Shao Shengfei patted his head: "Brother, then I'm going to bed, I'm very busy during the day, very busy and very busy."

"Okay, eldest brother goes to bed, I will eat eldest brother's seeds in the future. The potatoes."

Shao Shengfei nodded happily: "I'll grow big potatoes for you!" He yawned, "I'm going to bed."

Shao Shengan went to take a bath first, and Qiao Qingqing stood at the door of the toilet listening to him.

He is happy to tell Qiao Qingqing about work and interesting things during work breaks. In fact, where do so many interesting things come from? But Shao Shengan was able to tell the little things in life interesting, and Qiao Qingqing's mouth twitched when he heard it.

"... When he squatted down, his pants were torn, but he didn't notice it. The head of the household came to see the progress. After seeing it, he told him that his face turned red all of a sudden. He was looking for needles and threads everywhere, and I took the needles and threads I brought with me. I lent him..."

"...I have to install an indoor constant temperature system. I'm not very good at that. The captain can, so I will help him. After finishing it, I also learned. I think I can do it myself next time I have a chance..."

"... ...There is a swimming pool in the backyard of the villa next door. When I was working, I heard people swimming next door. Those people were talking loudly, saying that the water was too hot, and asked the nanny to pour two more buckets of ice. Qingqing, I was still in the mood at that time. It 's quite complicated..."

When he came out of the shower, Qiao Qingqing prepared a separate meal for him: "We're full, do you want to eat by yourself, or do you want to go downstairs?"

"Go downstairs after eating, It looks really delicious, and it's still good food for the family." Shao Shengan ate a lot, and after the meal, he held a coconut green and drank coconut juice, so comfortable that his eyes narrowed.

After going downstairs to chat with the elders for a while, Shao's father went to work, and Shao Shengan said to accompany her to set up a stall.

"I can't go on holiday today, you have a good rest at home, and I will accompany you."

Shao Shengan fell asleep holding her hand. After sleeping for two hours, he woke up. He wanted to do laundry, but found that he had just changed it. Qiao Songzhi's clothes have been washed and are about to dry.

"Mom, just leave it to me to wash it myself, my clothes are very dirty and hard to wash."

Qiao Songzhi said, "It's not difficult, I soaked it in washing powder and it's easy to clean, and after washing, there is a layer of soil at the bottom of the basin.

Shao Shengan was embarrassed and decided to wash his clothes together next time after taking a shower .

"Do you still stay for two days this holiday?" Qiao Songzhi asked.

"I can stay for a few more days this time. There is not much work to do in the villa area. The competitiveness is quite high. The captain has some knowledge. I heard that the base is going to be expanded. We want to do public work." Three meals a day, and the salary is good.

"Really? It needs to be expanded. Many people still live in the town, and there are not enough houses here."

"The expansion this time is in the town. It is said that some old urban areas in the town will be demolished and rebuilt, and the base will be expanded to the town." Shao Shengan said that he knew some news, "may also start We're hiring construction workers, Dad doesn't know whether to go or not, my idea is not to go, the construction site is too hard."

After Shao's father got off work, Shao Shengan told him the news. Shao's father really wanted to go, and he could earn much more than being a sanitation worker, but Shao Shengan persuaded him, and Shao's mother also persuaded him, so he hesitated.

"Dad, you go to work near your home, and you can take care of it at home. If you and Sheng An both go to the construction site, then there will be only a few of us left at home, and there will be no sense of security." Qiao Qingqing said.

Hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Father Shao was even more shaken. He didn't think too much about why he and his wife and young son went to work on the construction site before, and there were only his daughter-in-law's mother and eldest son at home. At that time, he was busy for more than half a year. Every time his daughter-in-law said that there was nothing at home, they could work with peace of mind. Now they live in a new In the base, the daughter-in-law said that she had no sense of security.

His daughter-in-law had always been reliable in his heart, and it was rare for him to ask his father-in-law, but Father Shao agreed after he was shaken.

"Okay, then I'll still take this job, and I'll be able to take care of you when you set up a stall in the future." Father Shao works hard, and it is the sense of responsibility that a big man has to support his family in his bones. Since he works as a sanitation worker near his home, he can Make money and take care of the family, so keep doing it! It's okay to earn less, and the safety of your family is more important.

Seeing his father stubbornly going to the construction site, Shao Shengan breathed a sigh of relief.

During this holiday, Shao Shengan stayed at home for five days. During this period, the recruitment notice came down. Shao Shengan went out for a trip, and when he came back, he said that he had applied for the job: "Workers who have built Qiuye Village and other places before have priority. As for the qualifications to be hired, I performed well at the time, and I was not penalized, so I was easily selected."

He asked Qiao Qingqing again, "Is it really okay not to go to the stall? I can go with you."

Qiao Qingqing shook her head: "It's okay, I'm not the only doctor around here. Besides me, there are two or three doctors in the Ping An community who open clinics at home."

"Are you thinking of going to the hospital? I've asked, and the hospital is also hiring. doctor."

"If you don't go, it's too troublesome and requires all kinds of materials. Where do I have that kind of thing? I don't have a medical qualification certificate at all, and the management is not strict now. It is clear that I can learn a little bit of everything, but I am not particularly proficient. At that time, Teacher Wei said that I was too greedy and said that Chinese medicine is broad and profound, so I should not be too anxious. I couldn't learn all of them. I told her, I don't want to specialize, I just want to learn, and that's enough. At that time, Mrs. Wei looked at me with disappointment. At the beginning, she must have thought that I was a very ambitious student. The person..."

Shao Shengan held her hand: "But you are really smart, hardworking and eager to learn, your current level must not be bad."

Qiao Qingqing smiled and shook her head: "This is because you have a filter for me in your heart, I Not so good. Sheng An, my thoughts are very realistic. In the end of natural disasters, natural disasters are fatal. Before there is a complete chaos, if there is a problem that I can't handle, we can go to the hospital. Sometimes I can cure minor injuries and minor illnesses, and my body won't be dragged to death by minor problems, but if it's a big problem...I can't do anything about it, so I can only see God's will. So I learn a little bit of everything, and it's really still that way. In a word, it's enough."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shao Shengan stopped talking about going to the hospital to find a job.

"But we still have to go to the hospital. Let's do a physical examination together as a family."

The next day, the family divided into two batches, and Qiao Qingqing and Shao Shengan took them to the hospital for a full physical examination.

The elders were reluctant to go, and it took a lot of talk to persuade them.

The result of the examination said that it would take a week to come out. Before the result came out, Shao Shengan went to work. Later, Qiao Qingqing and Shao Shengfei went to get the medical report together.

Fortunately, there are no major health problems in the family. The doctor also said that their bodies are healthier than most people now, and they don't even have the most common malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies and gastrointestinal diseases.

The family's physical examination cost a lot of supplies, but Qiao Qingqing thinks it's worth it.

"What a big mouse! A lot of mice!"

There was an exclamation from the front, Qiao Qingqing stuffed the inspection report back into the bag and looked up.

"Sister, there are mice, look!" Shao Shengfei pointed to the front and shouted.

A large group of mice rushed towards the door of the hospital, and there were pedestrians at the door, all of them were startled.

"Close the door, close the door!" The security guard quickly pulled up the door and closed it, and the rat hit the door and made a bang.

"Brother, come with me." Qiao Qingqing took Shao Sheng to fly to the side.

The people in the hospital lobby looked at each other.

The security guard maintained order: "It's okay, don't be afraid. The door is closed to prevent rats from rushing in. There are a lot of bacteria on the rats. The patients in the hospital have poor resistance. Rats aren't very good either, that thing is dirty."

People nodded understandingly, and the line was rearranged.

Qiao Qingqing stood by the window and saw that there were security guards holding mouse nets to catch mice outside.

Soon, all the mice were caught, and another security guard sprayed the door with a disinfection pot before finally opening the door.

Several people who were pounced on by rats were also disinfected by security guards with their eyes closed, and a small riot was stopped in this way.

Qiao Qingqing took Shao Shengfei out the door. On the way, he heard good people talking a lot, saying that he didn't expect so many mice in the new community. He often heard mice screeching outside the window.

"And cockroaches! The boss, a cockroach, is half the size of my palm. Do you know how high it can fly? I was on the third floor, and I was drying my clothes outside the window. Then the big cockroach flew up from the downstairs and jumped directly. My face! My mother really scared me to death, I thought it was a bat!"

Shao Shengfei said to Qiao Qingqing: "Sister, catch cockroaches and make medicine for you."

Qiao Qingqing smiled and shook his head: "You don't need to catch it. , that thing is too dirty, don't touch the cockroach trap hanging outside the window, you know?"

"I didn't move, I just took a look, the cockroach is really big!" Shao Shengfei gestured, and the two figures were getting farther and farther away.
