On the day of the Lantern Festival, snowflakes fell in the gloomy sky again. Everyone in the Qi family, who had just experienced the cold temperature of melting snow, began to feel worried when they saw the large expanses of white snow outside.
"It won't be many days in a row!"
"Don't, I'm going to have enough of snow every day!"
Tian Yue and Qi Hang stood in the living room and looked out, and the mother and son expressed their emotions from time to time.
Qi Sheng also walked over to see the heavy snow falling outside, and now he doesn't need to guess, even if not one of the overwintering crops next year will survive.
He counted the grain in the cellar, and couldn't help worrying. Although the grain was enough for his family for two years, did they only eat steamed buns and pasta this year? I don't know how the animal husbandry industry is doing now. Although he has also built a small refrigerator, the amount of meat and fruits that can be stored is really limited. It will definitely be a lot harder for the family next year.
Thinking of this, Qi Sheng planned to go out again to the supermarket in the town to see if there were any leftovers, to stock up and order more snacks.
"I'm going out shopping, which one of you will follow me?"
Qi Hang is not a quiet person. These days when he is bored at home, the Internet speed is not good from time to time, and he has already died. When he heard that he could go out, he immediately signed up excitedly.
Tian Yue felt cold and didn't want to go out, and she felt that she didn't know what to buy in the supermarket.
The old couple naturally didn't want to go out, so Qi Sheng looked at Qi Lei and said, "Leilei, do you want to go out with Dad to relax and see if there is anything you want to buy?"
Qi Lei wanted to go out a long time ago, but it's a pity that if he goes out by himself, he can't go far. The battery car at home has been locked up by grandma, so he is afraid that he will ride out.
Qi Lei glanced at the father and son who were both paying attention to him, and when he was about to refuse, he suddenly agreed.
Until getting into the car, Qi Lei was still a little unresponsive.
The two children were sitting in the back seat, Qi Hang started playing games with his mobile phone in his arms, but the signal of the mobile phone was not very good, and the network was interrupted from time to time, Qi Hang's game was disturbed so much that he couldn't play at all, so he put the mobile phone in his pocket. In his pocket, he looked at his brother next to him, and then at his father in front of him, and felt that it would be strange if he didn't say anything at this time.
"Dad, according to this method, do we not have to go to school when we start school?"
Qi Hang's class group has been discussing whether to do winter homework, after all, you may not be able to get in school, why do you have to do such annoying winter homework!
Several students discussed it for a long time, and even thought that the current situation seemed to be quite good in order not to do their homework.
Although Qi Hang's grades are good, but the common problem of children is that they don't want to do their homework. He didn't dare to tell Qi Sheng about this. It's not because his father hasn't mentioned the study for a while, so he has some expectations.
Qi Sheng glanced at the child with shining eyes from the rearview mirror, and knew what this little guy was thinking right now.
"I'll talk about whether I go to school or not, but starting tomorrow, you have to study for three hours in the morning and practice drawing for three hours in the afternoon."
"Dad, isn't it!" This news was the worst tragedy in the world for Qi Hang, who was glad that he didn't have to do homework just now!
"dad… "
"Huh? What's the matter? There's a problem with timing?"
"No, no problem." Qi Hang thought of the fear of being guarded by his father in the room with a pointer to do his homework before, and he was a little afraid to say anything, but he hesitated for a while, and he wanted to fight for himself.
"Dad, I have to help my uncle pull the fishing net now. Didn't grandma say that she wants to eat fish? It's not available in the market now. We'd better solve the food first."
A few days ago, Qi Sen followed a few young people in the village to dig ice in the nearby river with fishing nets to fish. Qi Hang had never seen such a thing since he was a child, and he was completely fascinated by fishing as if he had discovered the New World. A new life for the bird.
Although he hasn't caught a single bird so far, he still caught a few fish. Qi Hang became more excited in those few days, and he also liked this kind of activity more and more.
Qi Sheng naturally knew about his youngest son's new hobby, but he still attacked him: "Your uncle hasn't gone out for several days, and it's even more impossible to go out if there is heavy snow tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Do you still want to play games every day when you stay at home? The key is you game I didn't enjoy playing too much, and I will start reading and learning to draw tomorrow."
Although the relevant departments try their best to provide basic services well, some network signal towers cannot withstand the natural devastation and are broken because of the heavy snow in some places and the fact that they have never experienced such a heavy snowstorm. many.
Although the Internet is not disconnected now, the speed of the Internet is already too bad.
If there is no snow today and tomorrow, maybe it can be repaired in two days. Now, Qi Sheng looked at the snowflakes floating outside the window, and he couldn't guarantee it.
After Qi Hang was strongly suppressed by Qi Sheng, the excitement of just going out was much less.
He looked at his brother beside him, and immediately felt it was unfair: "Then why doesn't my brother need to study?"
Qi Lei was suddenly caught by the cue, and felt uncomfortable for a moment, he turned his face and looked out the window, Qi Sheng smiled and said: "Why doesn't your brother need to study anymore? Leilei has to follow the request I just said."
Qi Hang felt more at ease when he heard that, but Qi Lei was a little awkward. He looked at the people in front of him and said in a cold voice, "I don't know how to draw."
"If you don't know how to learn, I will teach you."
"Father, can you still draw?" Qi Hang was a little puzzled, didn't his father know how
"Go back and buy a few books and study it carefully. Besides, I have downloaded a lot of videos before, teaching everything. You can learn anything you want!"
Qi Hang didn't expect his father to have such a hand, he was shocked and curious: "Dad, people prepare food for the end times, you won't just download these videos, will you?!"
After Qi Hang finished speaking, even Qi Lei was a little curious. He looked at the person in front of him and couldn't believe what this person said just now was true.
"I have also prepared food and food, but I have also prepared a lot of videos. Don't worry, I won't bore you."
After Qi Lei and Qi Hang heard the words, they still couldn't imagine many concepts, and they didn't take it to heart. The only thing they thought was that if they read the books for a few more days, they might have results if they didn't go to school after a while!
**
There is a big supermarket in the town, Qi Sheng can drive there in less than 30 minutes. It was only after nine o'clock in the morning, and there were very few people who came to buy things. The main reason was that the things in the supermarket were either taken away by the boss or bought by the surrounding people.
When the father and son entered the supermarket, they found that many things on the shelves were basically taken out. There is not even a hair of food and drink left, and occasionally I saw a few packets of mustard left in the corner, Qi Sheng picked it up and looked, and they were all expired.
The daily necessities area is almost empty, but there are still a lot of goods in the home appliances, mobile phone and digital areas.
Although it had been expected that this would be the case, the three of them were somewhat disappointed.
"What is this? It's like a devil entering a village!"
Qi Sheng felt that his son's description was very apt. At this time, there were only two young people guarding the supermarket. Qi Sheng walked over to them and asked them: "Do you still plan to buy?"
One of the burly men in black cotton clothes replied: "I'm not sure at the moment, I have to see the specific situation after a while."
The strong man is a relative of the boss, and he knows the situation of the supermarket quite well. The reason why the supermarket is still open now is because the boss wants to exchange some things that will not be needed in the future.
No one is sure what the future will look like, so many bosses now hold things that may be valuable in the future, and those things that may depreciate more and more, they have to find a way to exchange for more money while the current situation is still uncertain.
That's why supermarkets are still open now.
Qi Sheng looked at the price roughly, and there was no requirement to pay with other things. However, even for ordinary color TVs, the price has increased a lot in disguise. Maybe the boss thinks that the money will become less and less valuable in the future, so he just Raise the price of these things.
Now online shopping has become a luxury, so the boss is not afraid that the price will increase and he will not be able to sell.
Qi Sheng took the two children and turned back to the store, looked at the two children who were not very interested and said: "Go and see if there is anything you want, we will buy it if we can."
It's rare to come out, and you can't leave empty-handed!
After the three separated, Qi Lei was wandering alone in the supermarket. He looked at the basketball and football in the sporting goods department, and couldn't help but want to buy one of each, but he hesitated after seeing the price tags that had been marked up a lot.
Qi Lei couldn't help but glance at Qi Sheng who was looking for something not far away, and then at Qi Hang who was not far away, and seeing a large doll in his arms, he also hugged the basketball and football off the shelf .
After taking down the two items, Qi Lei even became a little interested, just like sweeping the goods. He was worried that life without the Internet would be boring in the future, so he put table tennis and badminton rackets into the shopping cart, and even saw a pair of diving supplies I also want to take it away.
Qi Hang wandered around the game area for a long time. When he saw a pile of building blocks and Lego, he excitedly began to choose from left to right. At first he was still hesitating which one to buy, but suddenly he glanced at the size of Qi Lei’s shopping cart, and ran away in a hurry. Going to Qi Sheng's side and asking: "Father, can I get some more pieces of building blocks? In case... It's really the end of the world, right? I can use them to pass the time when I have a chance in the future!"
Qi Sheng prepared a lot of money before, but now he is not worried that it will be used up soon, so he agreed: "Yes."
Qi Hang excitedly took the order and left. Qi Sheng looked at Qi Lei who was wandering alone in the musical instrument area, walked over and asked, "What do you like? If you are interested, you can take it."
Qi Lei shook his head: "Forget it, I don't know how to do it anyway."
Qi Sheng smiled: "What's the matter, the instructional videos I downloaded include guitar, piano, violin, ukulele... By the way, there seem to be guzheng, pipa, anyway, there are many, take them if you like, and we will learn together when we go back. "
Hearing this, Qi Lei couldn't help imagining the scene of this man downloading teaching videos non-stop, and couldn't help but want to laugh. He forcibly collapsed, but stepped forward and took down the guitar hanging on the wall.
Seeing this, Qi Sheng took two shares of the violin, ukulele and pipa. Who knows, he thought that he would develop into a musical family in the future.
There were still some books in the supermarket, and Qi Sheng picked and bought a lot, so the two brothers guarding the door couldn't react to seeing them buying so much.
Although it may become more and more difficult to buy things with money in the future, maybe there will be nothing? Is such a way of spending money too much to plan
However, the strong man was stunned for a second, guessing that Qi Sheng's conditions should be good, and quickly settled the score with them.
It took the three of them a lot of effort to stuff all their things into the car. At this time, the snow was falling at the same speed as when it came, but the ground was already covered with a thin layer of snow.
"Go back quickly, our family will have a good Lantern Festival today!"
Because there were too many things, Qi Lei was forced to sit in the co-pilot's seat. Seeing this, Qi Sheng asked, "Leilei, what musical instrument do you want to learn? Let's study it together tomorrow?"
After all, the things were bought by others, so Qi Lei replied: "Guitar."
"Okay, from now on we will learn guitar every afternoon." After speaking, Qi Sheng looked at Qi Hang in the rearview mirror and asked: "Hanghang, how about you, do you want to learn guitar with us or learn other instruments?"
"Can I practice my drawing?" Qi Hang felt very tired. What time is it now? Why does his father ask him to learn this and that? Woo, life is so hard!
Qi Sheng glanced at his youngest son who obviously didn't want to spend time on his studies, and he didn't force it. Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, when he will come to study on his own initiative!
When they got home, the old couple and Tian Yue ran out curiously to look at the things they bought. The three excitedly opened the rear compartment, and then tried to close the rear compartment with blank faces.
"What are these things!"
Basketballs, footballs, several music boxes, and even a big plush toy!
The old couple were disgusted, and Tian Yue also frowned: "Why buy these things? I won't need them in the future."
"Who says it's useless, when you're bored, you'll know how prescient I am now!"
Tian Yue rolled her eyes at him when she heard the words, and helplessly began to help move things.
In the evening, the family prepared a sumptuous dinner together. After the family reunion, Qi Sheng revealed to the two children before they went to bed that there would be a big surprise tomorrow.
Qi Lei was curious but tried his best not to ask, but Qi Hang didn't take it into account. His eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation: "Dad, what surprise?"
Qi Sheng smiled: "Keep it secret, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
How could it be possible to wait until tomorrow, how could this kind of surprise let it stay overnight!
So Qi Hang started acting coquettishly: "Dad, Dad, what surprise? Tell me quickly!"
Qi Lei also wanted to know, but looking at the father and son who were sticking together so closely, he couldn't help pursing his lips when he was in a good mood just now.
The family was still sitting in the living room watching the TV series that Qi Sheng had downloaded, and the old man asked curiously after hearing the words: "What surprise? You can tell them directly, so as not to worry about it tonight."
Qi Sheng felt that what the old man said was quite right, and looked at the crowd with a smile: "Ahem, that's fine, come here, and show you guys something!"
After speaking, Qi Sheng pulled Qi Hang who was clinging to him, and then grabbed Qi Lei who was nestled in a corner of the sofa by himself, and brought the two of them to the last empty room. He looked at the two children proudly and said: " Now is the moment to witness the miracle!"
Qi Hang was so excited that he wanted to scream, Qi Lei looked at the big hand on his wrist, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Dang Dang Dang Dang!"
"How? Surprised or not?"
In a very spacious room, three bookcases close to the roof are placed in front of three windowless walls, and inside the bookcases, there are tons of books packed tightly inside, just like a small library.
Qi Sheng has been preparing for this library for a long time. There is also a desk with a width of about 1.5 meters and a length of about 2 meters in the middle area, which is a good preparation for their family to hold a reading club together in the future.
Qi Sheng is very satisfied with this library, he has been secretly complacent for a long time, but it is a pity that his joyful mood has not been echoed by the people around him.
"Hey, do you two have a reaction?"
Qi Hang, who was still extremely excited a minute ago, kept his face stiff and silent.
Qi Lei, who couldn't help smiling a minute ago, tightened his lips again.
The two glanced at Qi Sheng who was expecting their reply, and looked at each other silently, not really wanting to talk.
It's rare that you don't have to go to school, so you give us this? !
Ah!
