In the Years When I Was a Father

Chapter 175: Indifferent father in the last days (5)

Views:

When they returned to the classroom, a few close friends saw Qi Lei holding the thermos bucket and came over with joy, shouting about what was in it.

Seeing this, Qi Lei put it on the table casually, and said indifferently: "It seems to be chicken soup."

Everyone wanted to take a sip to warm their bodies when they heard the words, but Qi Lei just didn't know how to deal with it.

"You guys share the drink."

"Brother Lei, don't you want to drink?"

"I just had dinner."

Everyone was not polite when they heard the words. They found a few spoons and divided them up after a while.

Zhao Xiaofei, who followed along to join in the fun, glanced at Qi Lei who was lying on the table, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, I didn't sleep well last night after making a fuss for too long."

"Oh."

Zhao Xiaofei only knew Qi Lei in junior high school, so he didn't know what Qi Lei experienced when he was five or six years old in elementary school. He only knew that Qi Lei had a father who didn't love him very much and a stepmother. I didn't dare to ask any more questions about the bad stories about my stepmother and my stepdad.

Today, although I was very curious about who brought the chicken soup, Zhao Xiaofei still winked, knowing that his friend didn't seem to be in the mood to answer at this time.

At noon, Qi Sheng really brought stewed mutton, and Qi Lei handed him the washed thermos, but he still didn't pick up the new one.

"I just had lunch, take it back."

"It's okay, this thermos is very effective in keeping heat. Now is the time for you to grow your body, take it out and eat when you are hungry."

Qi Sheng forcefully stuffed the thermos into Qi Lei's hand again, seeing that he was not in good spirits, he naturally reached out and touched Qi Lei's forehead.

Qi Lei didn't react, and was attacked and dodged in an instant. The two were embarrassed for a while, and Qi Sheng returned to his natural way: "The weather has changed a lot in the past two days. Pay attention to your body. Remember to eat mutton, it is nourishing and nourishing."

Qi Lei wanted to return the thermos, but Qi Sheng got into the car first.

"Pay attention to your health these two days. I'll bring you chicken soup tomorrow morning."

Although Qi Sheng didn't know how much the child ate by himself, he came to deliver nutritious food on time every day for several days in a row.

Qi Lei's attitude remained unchanged, and Qi Sheng was still not in a hurry.

The weather turned cold, and everyone thought that this day had finally returned to normal. After all, November should be like this, and the remarks about the end of the world seemed to be another false alarm. It wasn't until January that several major earthquakes suddenly came from the south, which once again reminded the people of Huaguo that this is a world full of disasters.

The epicenters of those earthquakes were all in non-residential areas, but the people who were close to them were affected to some extent, especially some old houses, and even a few collapsed.

The direct casualties of these earthquakes amounted to more than 20 people. In addition to praying and blessings, netizens in Huaguo suddenly remembered a very popular post some time ago.

[Fuck, is this great god time-traveled or reborn? Most of the content in the post is true!]

[It's amazing, it's so accurate!]

[When you encounter a real-life time traveler, ask the poster to show up and guide the way of survival in the future! ! !]

There were a lot of worshipful comments, and the netizens were so lively that people who were rational or always skeptical of the post showed up to refute.

[Can you stop bragging? Isn't it just listing a lot of possible things? Are you blind, you only saw what happened by chance, and you are not right about many unreliable things!]

[That is, people with any kind of IQ can access the Internet now, and have read too many online novels, why don't you say that there are fellow Taoists in this world! This is obviously an expert with a certain level of enumeration of all possible things that might happen.]

[There are frequent earthquakes in the south, it seems that it is not a rare thing...]

When Qi Sheng first posted this post, he purposely mentioned some other possibilities with half-truths and half-fakes in order to blur the view of netizens, so after careful analysis, most rational netizens still think that this is at best a reliable expert’s speculation , that is, a small group of people who are joking, insist that there are fellow daoists.

However, Qi Sheng's post still makes netizens regard it as a possible guidebook for survival in the apocalypse. At least many people have already started to discuss with their elders about saving materials to repair their home.

This post became very popular on the Internet, and the relevant departments really tried to find the person who posted it. It was not until the top technicians of the Ministry of Security could not find the person behind the scenes that the government leaders realized that this person who posted it was not ordinary. .

They also instantly understood what Qi Sheng meant. Regardless of whether there were some or not, the relevant departments had already begun to actively guide the masses to follow the guidance of this post to avoid disasters.

It is also because the atmosphere of the whole society has changed. Although it has not yet caused panic among the public, the holiday time of elementary and junior high schools this year has also been brought forward to be the same as that of college students.

Qi Sheng once again persuaded his uncle to use the money he had to go back to his hometown to build a new house. This time he didn't spend too much effort, Tian Yong went home to discuss with his parents and daughter-in-law.

The school vacation was early, so Qi Sheng and Tian Yue had free time. Now that the house in their hometown has been built and is being renovated, Qi Sheng held a simple family meeting.

"I'll go back to my hometown tomorrow to see the progress of the renovation. Will you go back with me or stay at home?"

Because the house was newly built in the hometown, the old couple are currently living in Qi Sheng's second uncle's house. Qi Sheng's second uncle's house built a new house two years ago because the youngest son got married. There are still many vacant rooms, but Qi Sheng is worried that Tian Yue will go back. Feeling uncomfortable, I wanted to ask her for advice.

Tian Yue followed Qi Sheng back to her hometown during the holidays, because of Qi Lei's relationship, she spent less time with her parents-in-law, let alone Qi Sheng's relatives. She was not used to it when she heard that she needed to temporarily stay at the second uncle's youngest son's house when she went back.

"I'll go to my brother's house in the next few days. Their family has not yet decided whether to go back to their hometown to repair the house or wait and see."

Qi Sheng frowned upon hearing this: "Haven't made up my mind yet? Maybe something worse will happen later."

Tian Yue still couldn't believe what he said: "How can there be such an exaggeration, isn't there just a few more earthquakes in the south? Although it was extremely hot a while ago, the weather in the past two months is still normal, right?"

"It's quite normal, but I heard people on the Internet say that they want to go back to their hometown to repair the house, even the expert who is dressed so well suggested so."

The couple discussed this matter for a long time. At this time, Tian Yong's family was still arguing over whether to go back to their hometown to repair the house.

It's funny to say that except for Tian Mingwei, the third generation of their family, who is very supportive of going back to his hometown to repair the house, Tian Mingwei's grandparents and parents are not very happy.

The main reason is that they are used to living in the city, and they like the convenient and clean shopping and living environment in the city. It is troublesome even to see a doctor when they go back to their hometown.

Tian Mingwei: "Oh, I don't know why you are hesitating any longer? Let's take part of the money to go home and build a small villa. It would be great. You will never be able to live in a villa in the city for the rest of your life! And you can enjoy a leisurely pastoral life in the countryside. Think about it." It's very comfortable!"

Tian Yong gave him a blank look when he heard the words: "What do you know! You spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a house, and it will be abandoned after two days of living. Why don't you save the money and buy a larger apartment nearby!"

Tian Mingwei's mother agreed: "Your father is right. We haven't returned to our hometown for many years. It's inconvenient to go back to do anything. I don't want to go back."

Mrs. Tian also agrees. She has made several sisters here. They usually dance square dance, play mahjong and go shopping together. Life is very leisurely and convenient, and she doesn't want to go back.

On the contrary, Mr. Tian misses his hometown a little bit, but it's a pity that his wife has no right to speak.

When Tian Yue came back with his son Qi Hang, it was Tian Mingwei who fought against three people alone. Although he was only one person, he was still a college student, but he was the only child of the Tian family, and he could completely resist his father with his own strength. The attacks of mother and grandma, even the old lady and Tian Mingwei's mother have begun to hesitate whether to meet the grandson/son's request.

"Brother, didn't you tell Qi Sheng a few days ago that you wanted to go back to your hometown to repair the house? Why are you going back on your word now?"

"At that time, I was also impulsive when I saw the fierce disturbance on the Internet. When I came back and thought about it, how could it be so evil? We only have occasional drought or a little sandstorm here, so it won't be so troublesome that we all go back to our hometown. If we all go back to our hometown, everyone in the city Are all jobs shut down? I think it’s obviously exaggerated on the Internet, and few of the neighbors next door say they’re going back to their hometown.”

Many people have long been accustomed to living in the city, and here they still have their jobs and their children have to go to school. How could they run to the countryside regardless of the slightest rumor.

Tian Yue also understood her brother's thoughts, but she still told Qi Sheng's suggestion.

"Qi Sheng said that it doesn't matter if you don't want to go back to your hometown for the time being, but you can use some of the money to build two or three bungalows. Even if you don't go back often, you can use it as a place for occasional vacations. It’s an extra refuge.”

Seeing that someone finally spoke out to support him, Tian Mingwei glared at the cowardly grandpa who had been silent all this time, and agreed very much: "My uncle is right, otherwise our family will spend 200,000 yuan and go back to our hometown to build a simple new house , and occasionally go back to experience the farmhouse fun!"

Finally, the family discussed for a long time, and Tian Yong finally agreed to go back to his hometown to repair a house under Tian Mingwei's soft and hard thinking.

At this time, Qi Sheng had already returned to Lao Qi's house, looking at the newly built courtyard with high walls, he felt a lot more at ease.

The master who was doing the renovation came up to say hello when he came back. Qi Sheng politely handed him a cigarette and asked, "Brother Min, according to the current progress, when will the work be completed?"

"About a month."

This speed is considered very fast. If Qi Dajun's engineering team hadn't been resting at home at that time, the house might not have been built yet. Qi Sheng was quite satisfied with the result, and chatted with Brother Min about the details of the renovation, and began to walk around the entire compound from front to back.

There is half an acre of land behind the road in front of the foundation of their house, which is very large in front and rear, even if only the front yard is counted, it is still very spacious.

On the right side of the gate is the canteen reserved for the old man. The whole area is about twenty square meters. Qi Sheng specially installed rolling shutter doors and anti-theft doors around the canteen, which are very reliable.

On the right side of the canteen, there is also a garage that can accommodate at least two cars, and it is also reinforced with rolling shutter doors and security doors.

There is a retaining wall at the entrance. There are no patterned tiles yet, but the old man has already selected the pattern. It is a very common painting of peacock blossoms and riches with the five characters of home and Wanshixing.

On the right side of the yard is a kitchen of about 40 square meters. The kitchen is divided into two parts, and the right half is mostly the kitchen operation room. In addition to a very spacious operation table, there is also a space for installing a cabinet, sink, and range hood, which are common in modern kitchens. In addition, Qi Sheng also specially asked the master who built the house to build an earthen stove for them.

The old lady always liked to cook with an earthen stove. Although it was a bit strange to build a kitchen like this, she was happy most of all.

The other half of the kitchen is the dining room. The furniture has not been placed, but the space is very spacious.

Opposite the kitchen is the utility room, two rooms, enough for their usual storage of sundries.

Behind the main house is their bedroom and living room. There are two master bedrooms with separate bathrooms on the left, two secondary bedrooms on the right plus the innermost bathroom, and a small room in the middle, and the rest of the space is reserved for the living room.

The old man was puzzled when he knew the layout of the whole house. There were so many houses that made him worry about how to live in full, but the overall layout was really good, and the engineering team had already bought the materials, so he didn't have time to object.

When the new house was built, the old couple at most expected to leave the house to Qi Lei in the future, but after it was actually built, they were still very happy to be able to live in this environment in the future.

After Qi Lei came back, he went to look for his grandparents at the second grandpa's house. He probably would stay at their house during this period of time. Now that it's the Chinese New Year, the young people have come back to some extent. The second grandpa's house is basically full. Qi Sheng originally planned to go to his uncle to find an empty house, but unexpectedly, the eldest grandson of the uncle's family brought back a girlfriend, and there has been no place for him to live.

So Qi Sheng naturally aimed at the bedroom where his son was currently living.

So when Qi Lei came back from visiting outside at night, he found an unwelcome item in the bedroom.

Qi Sheng: "Leilei, let's sleep together during this time!"

Qi Lei: ...

No, ugly refusal!
