Chapter 1-10

Chapter 1

"I'll give you all the savings in the family. I've already listed the house in Fulin Community. You can take it with you if you sell it. If you're out alone, bring more money to protect yourself."

In the sixth year of the end of the world, Shen Cong finally lost it. Life.

When I woke up again, I heard this.

She sat on the sofa and stared blankly at the man opposite her.

"Gu Kai?" She called out in disbelief.

"Huh?"

The man who was still talking in a low voice stopped his voice and raised his eyes.

Looking at the familiar face in his memory, Shen Cong's tears fell instantly.

He is still alive!

Gu Kai is still alive!

Although his face looked a little tired, he was sitting here healthy, sitting in

a small family where they had lived together for three years.

And she came back.

Back from the lonely, terrifying, and desperate apocalypse!

Shen Cong sobbed silently.

"Stop crying." Seeing his wife crying like this, Gu Kai sighed.

He got up, walked over and handed a tissue, and said, "I'll go through the formalities with you this weekend, tomorrow morning..."

Hiss!

A crisp sound interrupted what he had not finished.

Gu Kai watched in amazement as his wife grabbed the "Divorce Agreement" she brought on the table and tore it in half.

"Monggong?"

"You didn't sign it, so why keep it?"

Shen Gong sniffed, snatched the tissue paper that Gu Kai was holding in his hand, and wiped it on his face.

The delicate skin was immediately rubbed off by her with two red patches, which looked a bit dazzling on her fair face.

Gu Kai couldn't help but glance at it more.

Looking at the torn agreement, he explained helplessly: "It's not that I don't sign it, it's just that the property can't be divided like this. You want to study in an art academy, and even if there is a half award, the tuition fee is not low. This is not the time to go out. When you're outside, bring more money."

"I don't want it! That's not my money, that house is your pre-marital property."

"Do you have to be so clear with me?" Gu Kai's eyes flashed a trace of sadness.

He took a deep breath and persuaded again: "Monggong, listen to me once."

"I won't!"

Shen Cong looked at him with those clear eyes washed by tears, and asked word by word, "I If you don't want your money, what can you do?!"

"I can't leave!"

Gu Kai was also annoyed, "I won't leave the marriage if you don't take the money!"

"Okay."

Shen Cong suddenly laughed: "Then I won't leave, and I won't leave this marriage!"

She said, tearing the "Divorce Agreement" into pieces without hesitation, and then threw it out.

Ren Xuebai's shredded paper was scattered all over the place.

His wife's sudden change of mind made Gu Kai stunned.

Since a piece of Shen Cong's design work won an award abroad half a year ago, and then received an olive branch from his favorite university, their lives have lost their peace.

Shen Cong wanted to go abroad and wanted him to resign and go with her.

But Gu Kai was not willing to choose this path.

Because of this, they quarreled, fought, had cold wars, broke out...

Later, Shen Cong moved back to her mother's house, and contacted him entirely through mobile phones and the Internet, and she refused to even see him face to face.

The purpose of this meeting was to come back to get something, and let him sign the "Divorce Agreement" by the way.

Gu Kai is also ready.

Unexpectedly, things took a completely different path at this time.

"Don't be stunned, let's go out for nothing else." Shen Cong wiped the tears that could not be wiped off his face with his hands.

While trying to restrain her emotions, she said to Gu Kai, "You take the key from Fulin, I didn't bring it with me. Let's go now." The

six years of life in the end times have already sharpened people's hearts to tenacity.

Seeing her long-awaited husband, Shen Cong was so excited that she could not wait to throw herself into his arms and cry!

But she knew not now.

Because they don't have much time left, they should cherish every sunny day.

If she is not mistaken, she is now reborn.

The rebirth went back to the day before the divorce, that is, one month before the end of the world.

Today is June 15th, next month today, with an unprecedented earthquake - the

end of the world will come.

Since God gave her a chance to start all over again, she will definitely grasp it well and never let history repeat itself.

She has to hold on to the hands of her relatives and go through the difficulties together with them.

And before that, of course, you have to be well prepared.

When the matter is halfway through, why do you suddenly want to run to see the house?

Gu Kai couldn't keep up with his wife's rhythm.

Then he suddenly remembered something.

"The key is in the house tree. Today, the agent called to say that someone was looking at the house. I'll wait for you and let him go."

He said and looked at his watch: "It is estimated that he and the agent have already gone to the house. "

Then get the spare key. Just right, you should call Jiashu now and tell him that the house is not for sale. Let the agent go and let him go to the house. I have something to do with him."

Gu Kai didn't understand why Shen Cong was in such a hurry to go to the house over there?

But if the marriage does not leave, he does not want to sell the house.

After all, it was their wedding room, and it was personally chosen by his mother when she was alive, so it had an unusual weight in his heart.

"Okay." He agreed to pick up the phone, then pulled Shen Cong who had stood up, motioning her to wait.

Then, while calling his cousin Gu Jiashu, he walked quickly to their bedroom.

Soon he came out with a cosmetic gift box.

After opening it, he took out a face cream and handed it to Shen Cong, indicating, "Wipe your face, your face is red from crying."

Shen Cong was stunned for a moment.

She looked at the beautifully packaged gift box, and it took a long time to remember that it was a very expensive cosmetic brand.

She used to want to buy it, but never gave up.

I don't remember Gu Kai buying this makeup for her?

Seeing Shen Cong staring at him, Gu Kai turned his head to one side uncomfortably and explained, "I bought you a birthday present before."

Shen Cong understood.

Her birthday is January 25th, and she made up her mind to go abroad at the beginning of January.

At that time, the two of them were having a lot of trouble, and naturally they couldn't celebrate their birthdays.

Therefore, he never gave this gift in his previous life.

Thinking of this, her heart sank again.

She took the cream and went to the bathroom.

As we walked, he explained: "Take what you want to bring, and you will go out all day today. Take the five thousand euros in the drawer with you. We will go to the bank to exchange it later, and we will not go out anyway, so it is useless to keep it. "

Shen Cong's words made Gu Kai stunned for a moment, and then his emotions were completely relaxed.

Now he finally believed that his wife was not going to divorce him.

He had been a little worried before, afraid that Shen Cong was emotional for a while and changed again in two days.

This kind of thing has not been experienced before.

But now she's talking about changing the euro.

Gu Kai knew that when Shen Cong came today, in addition to sending the "Divorce Agreement", the most important thing was to get the money, which she would use for school.

Now that she wants to exchange it, she will definitely not go abroad again.

Thinking of this, Gu Kai's joy really couldn't be suppressed.

He agreed loudly, took the money and the spare key as quickly as possible, and went out of the house with Shen Cong.

Gu Kai went to drive, while Shen Cong stood by the driveway alone and waited.

She looked up at the sky, the dazzling sunlight shone so hard to keep her eyes open.

But Shen Cong felt—

how beautiful all this is!

You can see the sun and feel the warmth.

Without the overwhelming poisonous insects, there is no need to be like a beast forever nesting in the hole, no need to be afraid, endure boundless fear and loneliness...

I don't know if it is because the sun is too dazzling, Shen Cong's tears can't help flowing down. .

She rubbed her eyes hard, then looked away.

Now is not the time to feel sorry, there are too many things to do, she can't afford to waste it.

After calculating the date, Shen Cong first used his mobile phone to unsubscribe for half a month and then went to Nan'an to attend the alumni reunion and the hotel.

Soon, more than 3,000 yuan was added to the bank card.

She checked her account by the way and saw that her personal savings balance was more than 248,000 yuan, which was basically all her current savings.

The savings at home that Gu Kai mentioned actually refers to his personal savings.

After the relationship was established between the two, he handed over all his personal savings to the public, and his monthly salary was also directly credited to that bank card.

This money has always been managed by Shen Cong.

At that time, the two of them agreed that her money would be saved as a reserve fund, and Gu Kai's money would be used for daily consumption.

Later, she renovated the house, bought a car, and spent all her daily household expenses from there. Even Gu Kai's pocket money was transferred to his online banking account on a monthly basis.

Therefore, when Gu Kai said that when she got divorced, she asked her to take all the money, but Shen Cong really couldn't help it.

But now she can reach out.

Gu Kai's money is not her money, she spends it confidently.

Shen Cong skillfully opened the online banking, entered Gu Kai's bank account in memory, and checked the balance.

From the running water, she could see that this person basically didn't spend much money in the past six months.

The balance has only increased but not decreased, and now there is still a little over 176,000 in the bank card.

The sum of the living money that the two of them can use is 420,000.

Although it looks like a lot, it really can't do much.

Oh, and those five thousand euros.

Shen Cong quickly checked the bank's exchange rate today, and determined that there was still another 35,000 in the account.

That is, she now has a total of 455,000 yuan at her disposal.

She calculated quickly in her head, but she didn't even look up when Gu Kai drove over.

After getting in the car, Shen Cong didn't even bother to talk to Gu Kai, she skillfully opened the shopping software.

Looking at the dazzling array of products above, she sighed again in her heart, and then quickly searched.

In order to prepare for the upcoming earthquake and the disasters that follow, of course, the first thing to buy is life-saving supplies.

Shen Cong tried to recall the most needed supplies in his mind, and quickly put the searched items into the shopping cart.

For self-inflating emergency tents, buy one large tent for ten people and three small tents for three to four people; buy five sets of moisture-proof, heat-insulating and moisture-proof pads each.

In addition, she chose:

20 foldable anti-seismic helmets; 10 extra thick emergency sleeping bags plus down + 20 thin ones; 10 bundles of special life-saving ropes (30 meters/bundle) for earthquake relief.

100 emergency thermal insulation raincoats; 100 thermal insulation blankets; 50 adult long fluorescent clothes for outdoor activities at night + 20 children.

100 pieces of adult visible anti-mosquito light mesh bodysuits; 50 pieces of waterproof and peak-proof suits for children; 20 pieces of adjustable one-piece suits for children, 10 sets of anti-mosquito underwear and thick-soled rain boots (men, women, children) A total of 50 pairs.

After carefully checking the items in the shopping cart, looking at the total amount displayed at the end: 39,400 yuan, Shen Cong took a deep breath and clicked to pay.

The total savings was only 450,000, and this time it went to 40,000.

But there is more to buy than that.

It seems that finding a way to raise money is the top priority.

Just when Shen Cong was worried about money, Gu Kai had already stopped the car and said to her, "It's here."

chapter 2

The house in Fulin Community is a wedding house that Gu Kai's parents bought for them. It is a top-floor duplex on the 19th floor.

When they first got married, the young couple lived here for a while.

But because it was too far away from the advertising company where Shen Cong worked, the one-way trip would take more than an hour. Later, Gu Kai simply applied for a single dormitory at the ancient book publishing house where he worked, and the two moved there.

It's been three years since I lived here, but Fulin doesn't come here very often.

The interior area of ​​this house is 160 square meters. In addition to the kitchen and bathroom, there are two bedrooms and a large living room on the first floor.

The sunny location on the south side of the living room is a large glass-enclosed balcony with very good light, which makes the whole house very bright.

The second floor is also two bedrooms and a bathroom at the end of the hallway.

In addition, there are two large balconies in the north and south.

Gu Kai said that the reason why my parents chose this house was because they liked its two large balconies and thought it would be nice to arrange it as a garden.

The north-facing balcony is about nine square meters, square and square, with two sides against the wall, and the other two sides are blocked by stainless steel railings.

The south-facing balconies are even larger, measuring almost fifteen square feet.

The place next to the door was covered with an awning when it was renovated, and the rest of the place is open-air.

Because the house was bought earlier, it was just in time for the government to advocate green roofs at that time, so a stainless steel staircase was installed on the balcony against the wall, leading directly to the roof.

For the convenience of the owner's greening, the developer also made double waterproofing on the roof, and planned the place to build the flower pond.

Such a good house, after the two divorced in the last life, Gu Kai still sold it.

A house worth at least 5 million was in a hurry, so he finally sold only 3.7 million.

And just after getting the money, he caught up with the big earthquake, and he didn't even have time to give it to Shen Cong.

At that time, Shen Cong had not yet left the country.

It was still early for the start of school, so after her divorce from Gu Kai, she went to Nan'an, where her university is located, to attend the school's celebration, and take a break.

As a result, there was such a catastrophe that had not been seen in a century.

The earthquake at that time started from a coastal city, and Nan'an happened to be among them.

The earthquake and the ensuing tsunami drowned the garden city almost instantly...

Fortunately, Shen Cong and a few old classmates happened to go to the Banshan Sanatorium, which is more than 100 kilometers away from Nan'an, to visit there. The recuperating mentor finally escaped this catastrophe.

But the family didn't know.

At that time, the signal network was all cut off. Knowing that there was an earthquake and tsunami in Nan'an, the whole city was gone, and Shen Cong's parents were going crazy!

At that time, Bac Ninh also began to rain heavily because of aftershocks, and the city became a mess.

Gu Kai was informed of Shen Cong's disappearance when he called to inquire about the situation because of the rainstorm.

Without a word, he sent his father who lived alone to his former father-in-law and mother-in-law's house, and then drove to Nan'an to find Shen Cong.

At that time, Bac Ninh was only affected by aftershocks and rained heavily, and some roads were still passable.

As a result, who would have thought that a new wave of earthquakes would be encountered on the road, Gu Kai and his car were directly buried under the collapsed rocks...

And Shen Cong was left in the Mid-level Nursing Home in the suburbs of Nan'an due to this sudden natural disaster .

This stay is nearly two years.

This is a global catastrophe.

As the disasters followed, the traffic and connections between countries and cities were completely cut off.

In many places, entire countries and entire cities simply disappeared.

The original Nan'an city where Shen Cong was located was more than 2,000 kilometers away from the city of Beining where she lived. Usually, it was only a few hours' flight distance.

But in the end times, that is across the sky!

In order to go home, Shen Cong went through a lot of hardships.

When she finally got home, she realized that it was already a match.

Gu Kai is dead.

The father-in-law and the three elders lived together in the house in the village where they lived.

Because he lost his son in old age, and after the end of the world, the healthy father-in-law who sounded like a bell was thin and became a handful of dry wood.

Not long after Shen Cong returned, he died of exhaustion.

She and her parents supported each other for another two years, and then came the plague of insects.

Plague, hunger, and disease took away the two old men one after another.

And Shen Cong didn't support him for long. He was attacked by insects when he went out to collect relief food and died.

Thinking of this, Shen Cong touched the balcony railing with his hand, and endless sadness filled his eyes.

Gu Kai stood aside and looked at his wife quietly.

He hadn't seen each other for more than two months, and he felt that Shen Cong seemed to have changed a person, making him a little... out of reach.

He wanted to ask his wife, did anything happen to her while he was away?

But before Gu Kai could figure out how to speak, the doorbell rang from downstairs, and the two went downstairs together.

Shen Cong opened the door, greeted Gu Jiashu who was standing at the door, and then turned sideways to let him in.

Gu Jiashu was obviously stunned when he saw his cousin who he hadn't seen for a long time.

He subconsciously looked at his cousin who was following behind, and his eyes were full of doubts.

Seeing him like this, Shen Cong spoke first: "Jiashu, I asked your brother to call today. Apart from telling you that the house is not for sale, there is something else I want to ask you for help with. I wonder if it's okay?"

"What's the matter? Sister-in-law sees what you said, and you are so polite to me? You can just tell me if you have anything."

Having said that, Gu Jiashu's attitude was obviously tense, and he just stood at the door and dared not take a step. Go in.

It's impossible not to be nervous!

Sister-in-law and cousin have been fighting for divorce for half a year.

Don't talk about him, even his mother's old lady who doesn't usually go out knows.

And my cousin is ready to sell the house.

In a blink of an eye, cousin sister-in-law suddenly stood with cousin again, and she talked to him in a friendly way, and said to ask him to help...

While talking to Shen Cong, Gu Jiashu secretly glanced at Gu who was behind him. Kai.

I want my cousin to give him a hint-

their husband and wife, what the hell is going on here?

"Don't look at your brother, don't be nervous, I don't have a big problem with you.

That is, I want to renovate the house, seal the balcony, and change the windows of the whole house. I remember you just renovated it. After passing the house, are you familiar with the building materials market, do you have any masters to recommend?"

"Familiar!" Gu Kai replied.

At this time, it is impossible to pretend to be confused.

He rubbed his nose and had to bite the bullet and ask, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry when I ask this, you and my brother...are not leaving?

" There was a little conflict, but now we have reconciled. We installed the house to bring Dad over to live with him. Isn't his community going to be demolished?

Jiashu, please help, find a reliable teacher, the price does not need to be very high, I want it quickly! At the same time the quality must be good. If you can, you can directly ask the master to come and measure the room. If you can, the construction will be done immediately tomorrow. "

"So anxious?" ! "Gu Jiashu was taken aback.

But he thought about it and felt that he could understand.

It is said that the uncle's community is about to be demolished, so it is better to install it as soon as possible to move out, so as to save the mess there.

I know my cousin and my cousin . Not getting divorced, but also taking his uncle to live with him, Gu Jiashu suddenly became happy.

He has been close to the uncle's family since he was a child, and Gu Kai said he was a cousin, but in fact he was almost the same as his own brother

. Gu Jiashu was happier than anyone else when he heard that his cousin's family was going to reconcile, and he had to bring his uncle over to live with him.

After thinking about it, he immediately promised, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, this matter is left to me. I'm not doing anything, I'm going to run the market for you now.

What are you going to do, send me a WeChat message, and I will help you run away every time. Just wait for my news! After sending Gu Jiashu away, Shen Cong closed the

door of the house and turned to meet Gu Kai's complicated eyes.

She knew that her husband had too many questions, and he was waiting for her to explain.

And she, from the moment she came back , I never thought of hiding it from him.

Shen Cong walked over and held Gu Kai's hand, walked back to the sofa with him and sat down, trying his best to squeeze a smile and said to him, "Gu Kai, I'll show you a trick. what.

After speaking, she put her hand on the coffee table that was still covered with the dust cloth. Then

, the coffee table disappeared under the eyes of the two of them.

Gu Kai was shocked!

He raised his head in disbelief. Looking at his wife's face,

he reached out and touched the void, only to feel like he was dreaming.

If he hadn't been sitting on the sofa, he must have thought he was hallucinating -

such a big piece of furniture is just like that, gone? !

"Where's the coffee table?" He tried to calm down, but his voice became obviously tense.

"Look again."

Shen Cong stood up and walked around the room.

The dining table, dining chairs, small appliances, TV cabinet...

all disappeared as her hand brushed over.     When her hand reached out to the sofa she was sitting on before, Gu

Kai suddenly got up and grabbed her, and asked in a loud voice, "Monggong, what the hell is going on, tell me clearly!"

A person with a good temper, usually speaking is the kind of slow, low-key and peaceful.

But at this moment, he couldn't help raising the volume, and clenched Shen Cong's hand tightly.

Obviously in a hurry.

Shen Cong let him hold it, and tears suddenly fell: "Gu Kai, if I told you that I was dead, and then suddenly came back to life, would you believe it?

Chapter 3

"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Kai clenched Shen Cong's cold hand.

His own hands were still trembling, but he tried hard to comfort her: "You haven't rested well recently, what are you dead or alive, don't talk nonsense."

"I'll show you something."

Gu Kai was clearly in confusion . , but still refused to believe the facts he saw, Shen Cong sighed deeply in his heart.

With a thought, a light gray card appeared in her hand.

She handed the card to Gu Kai: "Look at this."

Gu Kai took the card and found that it should be an identification card with a photo of Shen Cong on it, but she was haggard and thin in the photo.

His cheeks were sunken, and even a husband like him had to look carefully to recognize him.

There was Shen Cong's identity information on the card, the date of birth, the ID number and so on. He looked at it and everything was correct.

Then his eyes fell on the line of small characters at the bottom of the card, and he saw that it was written: Expiry date 2076.05.06-2096.05.06.

He suddenly looked up at his wife, and then his eyes fell on the line of small characters again. On, my heart is horrified!

It is June 2072, and this ID card was issued four years later!

His heart was beating fast.

Even if he didn't want to believe it, Gu Kai had to admit that all this was too unbelievable.

Could it be that what the wife said was true, that she really came back from the future?

"This is the relief food I received this morning, and it's still warm. Would you like to try it?"

Shen Cong handed a dark green with a hint of dark green, exuding an indescribably sour smell. In front of Gu Kai.

"Haven't you seen it? Let me tell you, it's made of dried worms, wild vegetables and bran, and the worms haven't appeared now, so of course you won't see it.

Don't underestimate it, this one is my daily ration. In order to get it, I walked for more than an hour, and finally got bitten by a bug. "

Speaking of this, Shen Cong smiled bitterly, and there was a bit of self-deprecation in his tone.

"If I had known that it was all dead, what would I be doing this time?" It's better to stay in the house, starving to death is better than being bitten by insects!

Gu Kai, you don't know, the worm's teeth are poisonous, and the person bitten by it will swell up, and then the skin will turn black and crack, how ugly it is.

Also, it hurts! She said, as

if remembering the painful experience again, and subconsciously clasped her arms tightly, her whole body began to tremble.

Gu Kai's tears finally flowed out uncontrollably.

He hugged his wife tightly, wishing He rubbed her into his body.

He believed it now. He believed that his wife had gone through an unimaginable ordeal. Just listening to it, he felt so distressed that he was suffocating.

He kissed Shen Cong's hair, cheek, comfort, over and over again She: "I'm not afraid, I'm here, I'm not afraid, I've always been there. "

"But you're not here!" You are not here! You are all dead, just leave me alone. I'm so scared, I want to die too, I don't want to stay in that place alone..."

Hearing her husband's words, Shen Cong collapsed, and finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

She hugged Gu Kai back, and the same With all his strength, he wished to lock himself up with him from now on, forever and ever.

Shen Cong told Gu Kai everything that happened after the apocalypse.

Then he said to him, "Not long after my parents died, I found out that there was another one. space. In fact, I was not the only one who discovered the ability, and many people around at that time also discovered it.

However, compared with other people's abilities that can control water and speed up plant growth, this one of mine is relatively useless. This space is only about 20 square meters, and no one can enter except to put things. But it is the end of the world, and there is no food to eat, so what else can I put in it? "

Shen Cong said, put the furniture that was put in one by one, and regretfully said: "It's basically the limit to put so much, and I can't put any more." "

"It doesn't matter. According to you, this apocalypse is only caused by the weather changes, and the social order has not really collapsed.

In this case, we can start planning from now on, store more grain, and prepare more supplies. As long as we take precautions and space is not enough, there should be no problem at home. After the

initial shock, Gu Kai gradually calmed down.

While thinking about what his wife said, he also thought about what to do next.

According to what his wife said, the end of the world will come today in a month, then They really don't have much time left.

"Not only have to store food, but also have to prepare things to grow. In the later period, the biggest cause of death was actually famine. No one knows when the apocalypse will end, and I have been there for six years without seeing the light of day. Therefore, food must be grown, and storage alone will not suffice. "

"You are right. I have to go back and discuss with my parents about planting. Dad doesn't know much about growing vegetables now, he knows better than us. By the way, do you want to tell the two of them about this in advance? "

"Yes." Not only do you have to tell my parents, but you also have to tell your dad. If you don't make it clear to him, he will never agree to go back to my parents' place with us.

The house in the community where he lives now is too old. It collapsed during the initial earthquake, and it hasn't been cleaned up until the end. That house can no longer be lived in. Gu Kai nodded: "

I asked him to sign early. The developer is eager for someone to start, and it is estimated that he will get the money back as soon as he agrees." "

"Well, I don't want a house, I want money." We are still spending a lot of money. "

Father-in-law and their community owners have been in a tug-of-war with real estate developers for a long time, and the price has not been negotiated.

In the last life until the end of the world, many old residents did not have time to move out. In the end, whether the people survived or not is another matter, the home must have been lost.

If the father-in-law signed first this time, he would definitely be scolded by some people, but with his prestige, some people would definitely follow suit.

Shen Cong wasn't able to save many people, but if he could get some people to move out early, it would be a good thing.

As for the developers - they are buying land anyway, and the house is meant to be demolished.

If the end of the world comes to an end one day in the future, the land will still be theirs, and no one will be able to take it away.

Knowing that the time is limited, the two of them at this time did not dare to immerse themselves in sadness, and immediately prepared to act.

"Monggong, I think you already have an idea. Tell me your idea first."

"Well, because I was in Nan'an when the earthquake hit, I know what's going on there. But when we started in Beining, What I have heard from my parents and people around me afterwards, I don't know much about it, so we have to make some preparations."

Speaking of which, Shen Cong recalled those experiences at the beginning of the apocalypse.

Even though it had been a long time, she couldn't help shivering, and there was deep fear in her eyes.

Gu Kai couldn't help holding his wife's hand in distress, only to realize that on a hot day, her hand turned out to be like an ice cube.

Shen Cong paused for a while, then smiled at Gu Kai, trying to show a strong look.

Then he continued: "I heard from my mother that because of the aftershocks in the coastal area, it rained heavily for several days in Beining, and many places were flooded.

The house in my civil servant community was originally an old house, and the terrain was different. If it was too low, the foundation was soaked.

It was flooded first, followed by an earthquake. It was the first group to collapse. So the house could no longer be left.

I will go to my mother tomorrow to ask for the real estate certificate, and then let's take it for granted. "

"When? Gu Kai was a little puzzled.

"Go to the pawnshop ." "

Shen Cong explained: "Just die, so you can get the money immediately, without those trivial procedures. Cashing out early is the most important thing at this moment, and we can do more things with the money. "

As for this house," Shen Cong looked up.

"This house is a new house. Do you remember when the developer advertised that it could withstand an earthquake of magnitude 7 or higher?" It was later proved that this was not really a bragging.

It may also be because it is not in the earthquake zone. Anyway, I remember that until the end, the surrounding houses were gone, and only the six buildings around us were still there, so I wanted to keep it. "

But," Shen Cong's tone clearly showed entanglement.

"You sold this house before the end of the world. Although I know that these buildings have not collapsed, I haven't come back to see the details. I have no idea what the house will look like after the earthquake.

After all, this house is on the top floor. If protective measures are not taken in advance, the disaster situation will definitely be more serious than other floors.

So I thought we'd put it out first, but don't live here for the time being, just in case.

Let's move Dad to the house in the countryside where my parents live.

The house is big and it has a yard, so clean up and build the yard into a house as soon as possible, so that you can grow vegetables in it.

And it's not in the earthquake zone.

At the beginning, most of the houses in Beining collapsed, but the houses in the village were all old houses that collapsed. Most of the new houses built in the past few years were only cracked, or half of them collapsed.

The key is that it is said that no one in the village was crushed to death by the house because of the earthquake, so it is relatively much safer.

But that house will only live for a few years at most, and we'll have to move back here before the insect plague.

There are too many open spaces over there, and the previous fields are all barren and overgrown with weeds.

When there is a plague of insects, there is simply a world of insects.

Gu Kai, you don't know, when those bugs fly up, they are overwhelming! I can't even see the sun..."

Shen Cong continued to talk a lot, Gu Kai listened quietly without interrupting her at all. He

just held her hand tighter and tighter, his eyes were faintly red with distress.

He finally couldn't sit still . Now , I firmly shook Shen Cong's hand and stood up.

The author has something to say:

I saw a small friend asking why the high-rise buildings were okay during an earthquake, please explain:

I checked some information before writing, I learned that new high-rise buildings now have seismic requirements, that is, the higher the floor, the higher the requirements. Therefore, in the face of strong earthquakes, those with lower floors, especially old-fashioned stair houses, are more dangerous. If you are interested, you can search and take a look.

Chapter 4

Gu Kai took back the paper and pen from his bag, spread it on the coffee table, and wrote something on the paper while listening.

After Shen Cong finished speaking, he pushed the paper full of words over and said, "I can think of these for the time being. What can you add?"

Shen Cong took the paper and saw that it read:

Earthquake Resistance →The whole house is replaced with high-strength double-layer tempered glass windows + explosion-proof film for inner windows, and anti-vibration brackets are added to the top floor and roof; shock-proof film is attached to the inner walls of the whole house;

power generation → solar panels + diesel generators (gasoline? Small wind power?)

Purified water → Water purifier + matching filter element + small package of water purification material + water storage device;

defense → anti-theft door (double) + stair entrance tempered sliding door + whole house stainless steel anti-theft window + roof covered storage room (greenhouse) + iron fence ;

Insulation → External wall thermal insulation integrated board + indoor and outdoor waterproofing + bird repellent and insect repellent device;

electricity → power storage equipment + power bank (normal + large capacity)

water pump, small farm implements, epidemic prevention drugs...

She did not expect In such a short time, Gu Kai has thought so much, and there are many things that she didn't even know before.

For example, what kind of shockproof film, and thermal insulation integrated board.

Looking at this piece of paper, Shen Cong's restless heart finally calmed down a little.

She pointed to the question mark in the first row and said, "Don't think about kerosene and gasoline, these are all war preparation materials in the future, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get them.

Even if we save it in advance, it will not be convenient to use it at that time. The natural gas was not reconnected until I died. However

, there are some things that need to be added, such as thermal facilities.

The weather had begun to change when I died, and it was getting colder every day. It is estimated that the cold will come soon. It 's over."

Gu Kai couldn't hear Shen Cong dying one by one, his brows furrowed into pimples.

He pursed his lips and added the word "warm" to the paper.

After watching him finish writing, Shen Cong continued: "You know better than me about decoration. You and Jiashu can decide what to do together. I'll prepare other things, such as daily necessities. By

the way, you are over at Jiashu . I think of a way to remind me that my aunt is getting old, so let him prepare a little too."

Shen Cong never saw Gu Jiashu since he came back in his last life, and he didn't know what happened to their family in the end.

If there is a chance in this life, I still have to help. No matter what, they are brothers, and the relationship between their brothers is not bad.

"Don't worry about these things first. The most important thing is when will you tell your parents about this? Since the decoration is done, both sides will be carried out together, which will save time."

Shen Cong thought for a while: "Then let's do it tonight, and don't do it. It's tomorrow. Before I go, turn to Dad's place and take him to my house."

Gu Kai raised his head and looked at Shen Cong, his expression was indescribable.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you sure you can bring Dad to your house?"

Gu Zhengchu and Shen Jianyi have been old friends for many years, so that he and Shen Cong have known each other since childhood, and they are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. .

The relationship between the two has always been good.

When Gu Kai's mother was hospitalized with terminal cancer, the Shen family's parents followed their busy schedule for several days.

Not to mention, Gu's mother's health was already very poor at that time. In order to add nutrition to her, and to make her eat well, the parents of the Shen family prepared three meals a day at home and sent them to the hospital.

At that time, it was the hottest time of the year. Gu Zhengchu was obsessed with medicine all his life and never knew how to cook. In addition to going to work, the young couple also has to guard the hospital in shifts.

So Father Shen and Mother Shen silently cooked meals for four people in different ways every day, and delivered them to the ward on time.

No one can stop it.

Gu Kai's mother passed away two months later. During these two months, the Shen family's parents did not take a single day, and gave them sixty days of food.

The two families are said to be in-laws, but in fact they are like a family at all.

This is also the reason why even though Gu Kai didn't want Shen Cong to leave, but she insisted on going to school, even if he sells the house and clears up his savings, he must help her.

Even if we can't be husband and wife again, the relationship of so many years cannot be erased together.

But in the past six months, the relationship between the two elderly people has been really awkward because of them.

After they became more and more fierce, and it seemed that they were about to leave, the two old people had obviously started to avoid seeing each other.

Gu Kai could never imagine that his father would agree to go with them to his father-in-law's house.

Thinking of these things, Shen Cong was a little embarrassed, but it wasn't something that could be avoided.

She could only bite the bullet and say, "I'll find a way, I'll tell Dad, don't worry about it."

After that, she changed the subject and looked at Gu Kai: "You've gone through the resignation formalities in the past two days. Well. I know you are reluctant to do this job, but your publishing house will be gone in another month, so you don’t know what the old house looks like.

It’s pointless to insist on these few days, and we don’t have much time.”

Gu Kai After being silent for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay."

"Before resigning, we retire the dormitory we live in. The house has a deposit of 30,000 yuan on remand, remember to come back."

"Okay.

" People first went to the civil servant community where Shen Cong lived before.

This house is divided by Shen Jianyi's unit.

The old couple wanted to live an idyllic life after retiring, and they just caught up with their home village selling self-built houses. The house was good and the price was very cheap, so they bought a set and moved there.

So the house was left vacant.

Before Shen Cong and Gu Kai got divorced, she moved here.

Speaking of which, the old couple went back to their hometown, but in fact the village is not far from the city, just on the edge of Bac Ninh City, only an hour's drive away.

The Shen family's parents bought a so-called villa, which is a four-story building that is neither local nor foreign.

Fortunately, the house is very solid, and the self-built house is willing to use materials. The top floor is high, the room is large, the house is tall and bright, and there is a large yard, so it is quite comfortable to live in.

The second old man opened a vegetable field in the yard, planted bamboo, and built a flower pond. The two of them planted flowers every day, drank tea, and lived a nourishing life.

This house in the city passed directly to Shen Cong's name last year, and the two were not planning to come back at all.

The young couple didn't stay much in this house.

She just put some of Shen Cong's delicate things into the space, and then found out the gold ornaments given by both parents when they got married and the famous Swiss watch given by her sister Shen Xi, ready to use them all.

Shen Cong picked it out, then picked up a pure gold necklace with red treasures from the jewelry box, touched it, and handed it to Gu Kai: "Would you like to keep this as a souvenir?"

Gu Kai was silent for a while and said. : "Sell it. If my mother was still alive, she would definitely make the same decision. The most important thing is to make the best use of everything."

This necklace was a gift from Gu Kai's mother to Shen Cong when they got married.

After the old man died, it was the only thing Shen Cong kept.

After hearing what Gu Kai said, Shen Cong stopped talking and put the necklace into the bag.

After coming out of the community, they went to a large-scale chain pawnshop they found in advance.

Those gold ornaments and watches cost a total of 120,000 yuan, not even half of their value.

But because the money is urgently needed, the two have no other choice, not to mention that they will be even more worthless in another month.

In addition to the 40,000 spent before, the original capital of Shen Cong has accumulated to 560,000.

After coming out of the pawnshop, the two went to the car market to buy a small electric car.

In the second year after the earthquake, people have slowly recovered from the disaster and began to rebuild their homes.

Under the government's plan, traffic is the first to be restored.

Many roads have been repaired one after another, and some of them were not too damaged before, and they could even be sports cars.

Only in the future, due to the changes in topography and landforms caused by major earthquakes, many oil fields and mines will be destroyed, and some will even be directly submerged by seawater.

The loss caused is unimaginable.

Energy sources such as gasoline and diesel are too scarce to be bought by ordinary people.

So at that time, everyone's means of transportation were basically bicycles, tricycles, and other vehicles that were maintained by manpower.

The transition to electric vehicles will not begin slowly until cities can supply electricity on a regular basis.

So Shen Cong and Gu Kai discussed that they should just transfer out the 80% new car at home and buy an electric car to use first.

Even if you can't use it at the beginning of the disaster, you can save it just in case.

Anyway, her space can fit another car, and even if the house in the countryside can't fit in the future, she can use the space to quietly move to the top floor of the duplex.

Due to the urgency of time and a clear purpose, the two chose quickly, and after a little inquiries, they chose a pure electric car with a price of 160,000 yuan.

The car is white and looks very low-key, but it has a high chassis, good shock resistance, and can walk on mountain roads. It is an economical and durable model.

Two people can be said to be in love at the same time.

The salesman didn't expect to sell a car in just half an hour, and the buyer paid the full amount directly. He was so happy.

He contacted the boss on the spot and promised to install solar panels on the roof of the car for free, as long as they paid for the materials.

So the two left the car and decided to go to the nearby wholesale market and come back later.

Chapter 5

At the wholesale market, the couple discovered a biomass pellet gas stove they hadn't noticed before.

This stove looks similar to the small heating boiler used in the old house, but it does not burn diesel oil, but a granular fuel.

Thinking of the possible severe cold, and thinking about the unsolvable fuel problems such as oil and gas, both of them became very interested in this stove.

Seeing that they were really interested in buying, the seller gave a demonstration on the spot and lit a stove on the spot for them to see.

The stove does heat up quickly, and it burns without fly ash, so it doesn't get dirty even indoors.

Of course, the most critical point is that the fuel for this stove is not limited to purchase.

As long as you give the money, no one will stop you how much you buy, and in case the fuel runs out at the end, the dry grass and dry wood can continue to be used.

This really made Shen Cong very satisfied.

After calculation, they finally decided to buy a total of fourteen and ten small, a total of fourteen stoves.

Four large ones can drive radiators, and the thermal insulation area is said to reach 200 square meters.

Although ten small stoves cannot be connected to radiators, they are easy to move. One can provide heating for an area of ​​about 60 to 80 square meters.

The combination of the two can basically guarantee the heating of the two houses and the insulation of the plants when the cold comes.

Because there is more, the boss gave the lowest price.

Even so, it cost 54,000 to come down for 14 stoves, not including fuel.

"Boss, do you have the fuel in stock here? We urgently need it, and we will buy it directly from you."

Since the qualifications of this store have been confirmed just now, I know that their brand is still very well-known in the industry. In order to save time, Shen Cong prepared to do it in one step.

"There are, there is stock. The goods are in the warehouse. If you want, I can deliver it now!"

In the big summer, the boss was very excited to be able to come to such a big business, and he answered quickly.

"Okay..." Before Shen Cong finished speaking, Gu Kai grabbed her.

He pulled her out a few steps and pointed to the door: "There is a bank across the road from the market, why don't you go to the bank first? I'll talk about it here, don't wait for the bank to get off work."

Not even lunch What about food, what shift does the bank have?

Shen Cong rolled her eyes, only to realize later that someone disliked her and didn't know how to bargain.

In fact - for a long time before, she had been living a life of barter, and she was almost out of conception of money.

Shen Cong knew that the two of them didn't have much money now, but she cared more about time.

After all, it won't take long, and this money is no different from waste paper.

But since Gu Kai wanted to talk, she wouldn't stop her. If she could save a little, she could buy more other things, and she wasn't stupid.

"Okay, I'll go to the bank first. Are you hungry? I saw that there is food at the door."

Seeing that his wife understood what he meant, Gu Kai smiled, reached out and touched her head soothingly. Said: "There is a fast food restaurant next to the bank, just bring me a hamburger back."

Because only foreign currency is exchanged and no cash is withdrawn, the exchange is very fast, and the business is completed in ten minutes.

After leaving the bank, Shen Cong walked towards the fast food restaurant.

After all, he had just been reborn, and even if he appeared calm, in fact, not to mention Gu Kai, Shen Cong himself was not too capable of getting into the situation.

She had been in a trance, feeling like she was in a dream.

Although she acted extremely calm and self-contained all morning, she was actually tense, and her whole body was in a state of excitement.

Now that people gradually relax, she finally believes that she is not dreaming.

It wasn't until this time that Shen Cong realized how hungry he was!

She couldn't understand whether it was physical hunger or psychological hunger. In short, she suddenly felt unbearably hungry, and her fingers began to tremble uncontrollably.

It was as if I was so hungry that I was about to faint.

Shen Cong couldn't wait to walk to the fast food restaurant, and ran straight up without taking a few steps.

Fortunately, it is almost a little now, and here is close to the suburbs, and there are not many people in the fast food restaurant.

Shen Cong didn't even look at the menu, and ordered two Big Macs, two glasses of juice, two large portions of fried chicken, two apple pies, and two chicken rolls.

When the waiter handed her the large package of meals, the rich aroma came out-

the huge sense of satisfaction overwhelmed Shen Cong's whole body.

She couldn't wait to squeeze out a piece of fried chicken and stuff it into her mouth.

The long-lost delicacy made Shen Cong almost stop breathing for a moment.

She didn't even dare to chew it, for fear that she might accidentally swallow the chicken nugget before she could taste it.

She was holding chicken nuggets, closed her eyes slightly, and was immersed in the beauty that was about to fade even in memory.

It's a pity that this enjoyment didn't take long when the phone rang.

She sighed slightly regretfully, opened her eyes and took out her phone.

Seeing the words "beautiful mother" appear on the caller ID, Shen Cong became excited again, and his nose suddenly became sore.

She quickly swiped the screen, even forgetting the chicken nuggets in her mouth, and shouted vaguely into the microphone: "Mom."

With the voice, tears rolled down uncontrollably.

"Shen Cong, are you crazy?! What are you buying, why are there so many?! People pulled a truck to deliver it!

You who are leaving soon, why are you still buying these things? You even let the old lady come here! Did you know that half the yard is full! Where are you, come back to me immediately, if you don't come back, I will reject all of them! "

Mother Shen Cheng Ru on the other side of the phone didn't understand her daughter's mood at the moment. The mad old man roared at the microphone, directly frightening Shen Cong's tears back.

She quickly pulled the microphone away . Far away, I couldn't help rubbing my ears. It's

been a long time since I heard my mother swearing. She was still very healthy when she heard the voice. It's

good, it's good!

Next to scolding, Shen Cong's face blooms It was like a flower blooming.

It wasn't until she felt that her mother was almost scolding, she began to explain: "Mom, mom, don't worry, listen to me first...

Go back, I'll go home in a moment. Don't reject it! Those things are all useful, you help me collect them first, and I'll tell you what's going on when I go back.

Hey, don't be angry, I'll go back and scold you again...

By the way, you guys go out to buy some food, and I'll take Gu Kai and my father-in-law back for dinner in the evening.

Mom, I miss you, and I miss Dad. I want to eat the braised pork ribs you made.

Cheng Ru couldn't believe her ears when she heard her daughter say she was going to bring her son-in-law and in-laws for dinner. She

didn't care about scolding her daughter anymore, but reconfirmed: "Who did you just say you would bring back for dinner?" "

Gu Kai and his father." Mom, we have discussed it and decided not to get a divorce. You should tell Dad and let him not be angry.

I'll tell you about other things at home tonight.

I'm with Gu Kai right now. We still have something to do. I'll pick up my father-in-law later. Tell my dad to stop fishing in the afternoon and wait at home. "

Afraid that her mother would keep asking questions on the phone, Shen Cong decisively hung up the phone.

After hanging up, she quickly opened the shopping website and checked her order.

When she placed the order this morning, she chose a seller from another place because she thought about buying so many emergency supplies before the earthquake.

Who knew it would be delivered so fast!

She didn't even have time to tell her parents.

After finding the order and clicking on the logistics, Shen Cong found that there was a small line at the end of the order, which read: Delivery from Beining Warehouse.

Returning to the store, Shen Cong noticed that the store he had chosen was a national chain, and multi-warehouse delivery was one of their selling points.

She hadn't noticed before.

Now that my mother was in a rage at home, Shen Cong didn't want to turn around anymore.

After making a phone call to Gu Kai, he made an appointment to meet at the car dealership, and went over first.

When she went, Gu Kai hadn't arrived yet, and the solar panels would have to wait a while longer to be installed.

Seeing that she was fine, the salesman led her to the innermost part of the car dealership's showroom.

Pointing to a pile of bicycles that are being unpacked, he said, "Sister, there is a promotion in our store where you can buy a bike and give it away. It was originally scheduled to start on Monday. I applied with the boss just now, and he agreed to make an exception for you. Our

activity is to buy 50,000 yuan to get a normal bicycle, 80,000 yuan to get a folding bicycle, and 100,000 yuan to get an electric bicycle.

The total price of the car you bought is 163,500 Yuan, you can choose an electric car and an ordinary bicycle." How could

there be such a good thing?

Really dozed off someone gave a pillow.

Shen Cong was thinking about buying two bicycles just now.

She thought for a while and asked, "I don't want an electric car, you can replace me with two ordinary bicycles and a folding bicycle."

After that, she pointed to the old-fashioned 28-bar bicycle that had just been installed in front of her and said, "I want this." The

salesman looked at her in disbelief and asked, "Sister, that's a men's bicycle. Ah, there aren't many people riding this in our city. There are also women's models, and the styles are pretty good. Should I let them install one first for you to see?"

"No, this is what it is. "

Shen Cong originally wanted to buy this old-fashioned bicycle with a rear frame.

Although this car looks bulky now, it's actually much more useful than those light-duty pranksters. It can carry weight and carry people, and it is not easy to break.

In the days to come, such a bicycle will be hard to find.

Although they bought less than 180,000 cars, there are still solar panels installed.

Shen Cong's proposal, the car dealer will naturally not disagree.

So when Gu Kai came, he saw his wife standing at the gate of the car dealership, with the newly bought car on the left, and three brand new bicycles in a row on the right, looking at him with a smug expression. .

Gu Kai took two quick steps, and just as he was about to walk in front of Shen Cong, a girl's scream suddenly came from the car dealership: "Ah! Why are there so many ants!"

Chapter 6

The smile on Shen Cong's face suddenly disappeared.

Is there a sign so early?

Why didn't you know anything about yourself?

She turned around subconsciously.

At the same time, Gu Kai also walked to her side and held her hand tightly.

The sound came from the garage.

It was already one o'clock now, and there were no customers in the car dealership. Several salesmen gathered together and sat down in the rest area to have lunch together.

One of the girls had already jumped up from her seat and hid several steps away from the table. She pointed to an open fast food box on the table with a look of disgust.

"Oh my god, I also have it here."

"It's disgusting, Xiao Wu, didn't you see it when you went to buy food?"

Several other girls also called out.

Xiao Wu, who was accused by his colleagues, showed his grievance: "When I went to buy, there must be no ants in the meal, and if there were, I would not buy it! Did you put it here and climb in? Oh, look, this is on the side of the wall. Yes!"

After listening to the girl's words, everyone's eyes turned to the wall against which the table was leaning, and only then did everyone realize that along the wall there was a dense line of ants crawling along the wall towards the window.

Maybe the place where these fast food boxes are placed is by the window, so a small branch of the "ant team" temporarily changed the itinerary and got into the lunch box along the fast food bag.

"Where did so many ants come from?!" The

girls all quickly stepped back several steps, wishing they could be as far away from the table as possible.

At this moment, everyone's attention has left the lunch box, and turned to the black ant that makes people feel goosebumps all over.

After all, it is not outdoors, and the car behavior is high-end, and the decoration and hygiene are very good.

It's really surprising that there are so many ants in this situation.

"Is it about to change? I've heard people say that small animals are the most sensitive. Will such a dynamic shift be a sign?" Shen Cong interjected.

Gu Kai looked at his wife.

Although Shen Cong spoke in a very natural tone, he could feel that his wife's palms were full of cold sweat and her body was a little stiff.

He realized that she was saying this to remind the girls in front of her.

So Gu Kai, who has never been very talkative, also echoed: "Indeed, the abnormal behavior of animals is usually an early warning, and it is very likely that a major natural disaster will occur."

"Oh, it seems so! I also I've heard of it."

"Yes, yes, the ants moved... is it going to rain?"

"What kind of rain is it? You didn't see a cloud in the sky. It was an unusually hot day, and it was almost June. It 's 40 degrees!"

"You also said it's abnormal..."

"Gu Kai, let's buy some emergency reserve bags to prepare? I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, I'm panicking when I see this today. Anyway, it's not too expensive, and it won't go bad. Prepare a few and feel at ease."

"Okay." Gu Kai nodded: "Buy a few more. Besides our family, my parents also keep them for them. The old man is getting older and needs more." The

two ignored the girls and walked out the door while talking.

Anyway, they have tried their best to do what they can do. As for whether to adopt it or not, it really depends on everyone's life.

Fortunately, they can still hear the chattering discussions of those few people after walking far away.

"Hey, I'm going to buy a few too. If something really happens, my parents' bodies can feel at ease with a little more precaution."

"Hey, what's the use of buying that stuff? Putting it there will take up space, and the stuff inside has an expiration date, so it's a waste if it expires. However, you can buy something to eat and keep it at home. If nothing else, it's just as hot as hell. God, I can save a few trips to prepare something to eat." The

little girls also talked a lot, but Shen Cong and the others had already gone so far that they couldn't hear him.

Stuffing the bicycle into the electric car, the two left the car.

When driving to a deserted road, Shen Cong put the car into the space, and then went to the parking lot with Gu Kai.

This time, the two of them didn't spend much time outside, and drove directly back to Gu's old house, which is where Gu Zhengchu lives now.

This is an old residential area, and the surrounding houses are basically more than 30 years old.

Compared with the newly built neighborhoods around it, it is quite out of tune.

But it is also because of the age that it looks more flamboyant here.

Small restaurants, small shops, row after row, look very lively.

The Gu family lived on the first floor of a residential building facing the street.

Like the neighbors on the left and right, the family sealed off the balcony facing the road, opened the door, and built a few steps to transform it into a facade room.

It's just that his family neither sells snacks nor stationery, and simply hangs a wooden signboard on the front of the door with the words "Gu Family Medical Center" written on it.

Although this facade looks really inconspicuous, it has a great reputation.

The old director of Beining Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a medical clinic opened by a famous person in the Chinese medicine field after his retirement, will there still be fewer people who come to see a doctor?

Fortunately, it happened to be the noon break time, and there were no patients in the hospital.

The husband and wife entered the room and were lying on the sofa with closed eyes and Gu Zhengchu opened his eyes.

Seeing Shen Cong, he was obviously taken aback.

"Dad." Shen Cong called out.

Looking at Gu Zhengchu, who was completely different from the withered old man in her memory, she had mixed feelings in her heart.

After calling out this "Dad", I actually choked for a while and didn't know what to say anymore.

Gu Zhengchu sat up straight.

Seeing this little daughter-in-law, who had grown up with him since childhood, had red eyes, the displeasure in his heart suddenly dissipated.

Everyone has aspirations.

Children just want to pursue their ideals, what's wrong with that?

He sighed, got up from the sofa, walked back to his consultation table and sat down, then pointed to the sofa, and said to Shen Cong, "Sit down, don't cry."

Hearing this familiar voice in memory , Shen Cong couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly burst into tears.

She remembered that she had returned home from Nan'an after all the hardships, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard the sad news that Gu Kai was crushed to death by a rock in order to find her, and she couldn't help crying.

Father-in-law also sighed and said, "Sit down, don't cry."

For a while, Shen Cong couldn't tell which was a dream and which was real.

Gu Kai hung the sign "Closed today, closed for business" outside the door, and then locked the door from the inside.

In such a short time, when I turned around again, I saw my wife crying.

He looked at his father puzzled, and questioned with his eyes: "What's the situation?"

Gu Zhengchu gave him a stern look, stood up, went to the back room and threw a hot towel in the back room and threw it to him: "Go and wipe it."

Gu Kai took the towel, walked over in confusion, touched his wife's head, and comforted: "What's the matter, why are you crying?"

Shen Cong was thinking of the share when he heard about Gu Kai's death. Heart like a knife twisted, suddenly met his concerned eyes, and suddenly burst into tears.

She opened her arms and hugged her husband tightly, buried her face in his arms, and called out over and over again, "Gu Kai, Gu Kai..."

I was so scared that I couldn't even open my eyes.

Gu Zhengchu was a little helpless when his young daughter-in-law cried.

He knew that the couple had to go through the formalities in the next two days.

When they came in just now, he thought that these two people came over to talk to him after changing their certificates.

But Shen Cong cried while holding his son, so much that he felt that what he thought might be wrong.

Could it be that there is still room for things to turn around?

But how is it possible?

He quit his job and got his visa, how could Shen Cong go back?

It should be... reluctant.

After all, the two children were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship has always been very good.

Gu Zhengchu sighed again in his heart, and said aloud, "Don't cry, now that the traffic is so developed, you can't come back when you go out? Isn't it just going to school, I bought a plane ticket on vacation and came back, so I don't need to feel so uncomfortable. ."

Having said this, he paused: "You and Xiao Kai... can't be friends even if they can't be husband and wife. It can't be just because they went to school, they won't get along with each other in the future."

If it's so reluctant, wait It's okay to go back and remarry after gambling!

He silently added another sentence in his heart.

Shen Cong has realized his gaffe at this moment.

She let go of her husband, took the towel and wiped it on her face, then retorted sobbing: "Who said we couldn't be husband and wife, we're fine! Dad, don't talk nonsense, Gu Kai and I won't divorce, we want to We'll be husband and wife for a lifetime!"

Gu Zhengchu: "..."

Gu Kai rubbed his brows, hiding the smile that appeared between his eyebrows, and habitually began to take the blame for his wife: "Dad, we're both okay, come here today Just to tell you, our marriage will end."

Gu Zhengchu was stunned by the twists and turns of the young couple.

He couldn't ask Shen Cong, he could only stare at Gu Kai and motioned for him to explain immediately with his eyes.

Shen Cong finally calmed down, she stood up from the sofa and stood beside her husband.

Looking at Gu Zhengchu, he said, "Dad, don't stare at Gu Kai, it has nothing to do with him, I'll explain it to you.

It's just that it's a bit long to talk about, and my parents are waiting for me to go back and tell them.

Dad, you can go home with us. I asked my mother to cook, and I told my father that he can’t go anywhere, and will wait for you at home.

Let’s go back and I’ll explain it to you, so that I don’t have to say it several times. "

Gu Zhengchu hesitated for a while when he heard that he was going to his in-law's house.

However, he was indeed shocked by Shen Cong crying today, and he was also afraid that the young couple had something to do with the adults behind their backs.

Otherwise, why did the child cry so aggrieved?

Therefore, he did not firmly oppose it as Gu Kai thought.     Instead, he nodded happily and said, " Okay

, I'll come with you. What's going on, you must tell your family clearly!

"

Chapter 7

Since they said they were going to leave, the three of them didn't stay at home for much longer, and they were ready to leave immediately.

Just before going out, Gu Zhengchu stopped them again.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get some medicine. The weather has been wrong recently, and it's easy to get sick. Maybe there will be a big epidemic later.

I'll dispense some medicine for your parents, and some for you. Don't take it seriously, remember Drink, don't be fooled."

Speaking of the last sentence, he also pointed Shen Cong with his finger.

Shen Cong habitually shrank his neck.

She has been in bad health since she was a child, and she has not had much trouble with Uncle Gu at that time, and now her father-in-law.

So no one knows better than Gu Zhengchu that she doesn't like to drink the bitter medicine soup.

I am no longer afraid of taking Chinese medicine.

Compared with the messy food in the last days, Chinese medicine will become more expensive and you will never know.

Shen Cong muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it now.

She rubbed against Gu Zhengchu and went to the pharmacy with him.

This was a place she used to come to before, but now that she goes in, she only feels that her eyes are full of treasures!

Her fingers moved and moved, and she wished she could take all these into the space now, leaving not a single blade of grass!

Fortunately, she held back.

"Dad, lend me this trolley." In the end, she could only stretch the "magic claw" to the trolley that the clinic usually uses to transport goods.

"Well, take it." Gu Zhengchu didn't ask much.

A group of three went out, Lao Gu sat in the back seat, and the husband and wife sat in the front row.

The few people on the road didn't talk much, and Shen Cong took out his mobile phone and began to calculate the expenses in the morning when he got in the car.

The electric car + solar panel cost a little over 180,000, first calculated as 180,000;

It cost 54,000 yuan to buy the stove;

Gu Kai bought the fuel—

she flipped through the text message notification, and couldn't hold back her breath.

Eighty thousand!

How much he bought, he actually spent 80,000!

Shen Cong couldn't help but glanced sideways at her husband who was driving. Seeing that his face was calm, he didn't ask any more questions and started to calculate the balance.

After deducting the 40,000 yuan from online shopping, there is still 560,000 yuan left.

560,000-180,000-54,000-80,000=246,000.

Sell ​​the house, sell the house now!

Looking at the smaller and smaller balance, Shen Cong felt agitated and couldn't help but repeat it several times.

But no matter how little money you have, you can't help but buy what you need to buy.

As planned, she opened the shopping website again.

This time Shen Cong wants to buy self-help and self-defense supplies.

Outdoor foldable engineer shovel + tactical gloves + 20 sets of open-mountain-knife + sharp-tailed hand axe for camping; 10 sets of

multi-functional self-defense tactical stick + anti-wolf tactical pen + multi-functional foldable hammer pliers;

strong light flashlight + dry battery ;

Disaster prevention candle + whistle + waterproof matches;

radio + outdoor lighting (hand crank, solar power);

labor gloves + mountaineering bag (large, small)...

Shen Cong thought hard in her mind, while putting the most urgent tasks at the same time. Supplies are placed in the shopping cart.

Then he deliberately returned to the address bar and changed the delivery address to the civil servants' community.

Even if he won't live there in the future, the location of the community is right on the only road between Fulin and the village.

When the package is delivered there, she only needs to receive it every one or two days.

All of the province will be sent to my mother, and then let anyone who cares pay attention.

After changing the address, Shen Cong returned to the shopping cart and clicked checkout.

In an instant, the account was reduced by 12,000.

But she still has too many things to buy.

Just as the car stopped, Shen Cong smelled the aroma of the food coming from the house.

The smell made her dazed for a moment.

Seeing her parents coming out again, her eyes began to feel a little sore again.

But she knew that now was not the time to cry, and there was nothing to do if she cried again.

"Dad, Mom." She walked quickly to her parents.

But the second old man didn't even look at her, he walked around him and walked towards the car.

"Old Gu, come here, hurry up and sit in the room first."

"Xiaokai, you go in too, hurry up, my mother has dried herbal tea for you, you are afraid of the heat, hurry up and take a sip to relieve the heat." The

neglected Shen Cong : "..."

She then remembered that because she insisted on getting a divorce, her parents disliked her for a while, and they didn't even talk to her much.

It's just that it's been too long, and she has forgotten about this experience.

Now it seems that it should be this time.

Shen Cong gloomily glanced at the four people who were chatting. Instead of joining in the fun, he turned around and took out the small cart he brought from the trunk, and began to pack the packages in the courtyard.

"I'll pack my things later, come here first!" Cheng Ru shouted to her daughter.

She was still thinking about the "no divorce" that the girl said on the phone.

Seeing that Shen Congzhen had brought back her son-in-law and father-in-law, Cheng Ru had to believe that what her daughter said was true.

Although Shen Cong really didn't want to recall those painful things over and over again, she knew she had to say it.

So there was no ink, and after accompany the family back to the house to sit down, he told the elders what he had told Gu Kai before.

After all, she took out two ID cards from the space and handed them over: "Mom and Dad, I know you don't believe what I said, I can only say that it's all true. This is your two ID cards, you Let's take a look first."

Because the village was too far away from the city, even though it had been more than half a year since his parents passed away, Shen Cong never went to log off.

But because of this, she was able to take it out now.

Cheng Ru and Shen Jianyi took the two small gray plastic sheets, and their faces were ugly for a while.

What the daughter said was so incredible that they couldn't believe it at all.

But looking at their daughter's attitude and what she took out, they couldn't help but shake their hearts.

Shen Cong looked at Gu Zhengchu.

Because the father-in-law died early, when he was alive, the government had not yet conducted a new round of census, and had not had time to apply for an ID card.

So she has nothing to prove.

But——

Shen Cong thought for a while, took out a book from the space and handed it over.

"Dad, this is the book you kept in your hand before you died. It seems like it was given to you by a patient before he died.

At that time, your consciousness was no longer clear, and I heard you keep saying "It's too late, it's too late" "

I don't know what it means, so I kept the book well.

I'll give it back to you now, I hope it won't be too late this time."

Gu Zhengchu took the old book with yellowed pages, which was a bit tattered, and his expression was a little shocked.

He casually flipped through a few pages, and then couldn't help but frown.

"This should be a medical book, right? I see a map of acupuncture points on it, but I can't understand it either." Shen Cong added.

After her father-in-law passed away, she had read the broken book more than once, but except for the acupuncture points, she could not understand anything else.

The book is obviously an ancient book, and the font used looks like traditional characters, but Shen Cong has never seen many of the characters. Not to mention obscurely written.

Anyway, the book was in her hand, just like a book from heaven.

Liang Ru and his wife also leaned over to take a look, so they believed a little more about what their daughter said.

It's true - no matter how they look at the book, it's not something that her daughter can forge, and there's no need for it!

Seeing that the parents were still skeptical, Shen Cong sighed, and had to use the method he used with Gu Kai before, and said to the three old people, "Dad, Mom, let's go to the backyard, I'll show you a trick. Look." The

main reason why the parents of the Shen family fell in love with the house as soon as they saw it was because they gave away a very large yard along with the house.

The old couple in the front yard made a scene every step of the way, which looked very seductive. The backyard was directly opened up by Shen Jianyi into a vegetable field.

It's just that the second old man is old after all, and he is not the kind of person who is used to doing farm work.

The fullness of the idea, the skinny reality.

Although the vegetable field that has been opened is very large, what I really use now is only a little bit of corners and corners.

A few small greens, peppers and cucumbers have been planted, and a large piece of land is sitting idle.

Shen Cong walked in front and took the lead in standing in the open space.

Before everyone could see what was going on, a brand new electric car appeared out of thin air in the middle of the open space.

For a while, the air seemed to freeze.

The three old men all stared straight at the car, their expressions shocked and unable to say a word.

"This was also taken from your space?" Cheng Ru asked.

Her voice was fast and a little broken.

"Well, this is what Gu Kai and I bought today. In the end times, electric cars are more convenient to use than gasoline cars." Shen Cong explained.

Having said this, she sighed: "Mom and Dad, I know you can't accept this, and I don't know how to further prove it.

After the divorce from Gu Kai, I was in a bad mood, and I locked myself in every day. I'm learning foreign languages ​​in the house, and I don't pay attention to anything. So if you want to ask me about the major world events that happened during this time, I really don't know.

I just know..."

Shen Cong thought for a while, and said, "I remember it should be In the past two days, my sister will call and say that the student dormitory I applied for was not available because it was too late. However, my brother-in-law went around and said that he could help me rent a house near the school, saying that the conditions there are quite good. Okay."

"Don't say it, I believe it, I believe my daughter won't joke about this kind of thing."

Shen Jianyi, who had not spoken much, patted her daughter's shoulder with pity in her eyes.

Although what my daughter said today is indeed appalling, the child himself knows that he believes that the child will not lie about this kind of thing.

What's more, there are so many facts here.

"Believe, believe, and mother also believes."

Seeing Shen Cong standing in front of them alone, facing them, her expression was filled with vicissitudes and fatigue that she had never seen before.

Thinking of what her daughter said before, and the sins her child suffered, Cheng Ru's eyes suddenly turned red.

She walked over and hugged her daughter, and touched her face in distress. Her voice became hoarse because of her distress: "Mongmong, let's not stand here, let's go into the room and say."

"Come in and say, this is We have to discuss things carefully." Gu Zhengchu also said.

Said to go back to the house, but no one spoke immediately after returning to the house.

For the three old people, even if they believed such news, they still needed time to digest.

In the end, it was Gu Kai who spoke first.

"Mom and dad, I have discussed with Gonggong, I will go back to work tomorrow and resign, and then retire the dormitory. According to Gonggong's statement, Fulin Community and the houses here are safe and sound after the earthquake, so these two houses are left. Dispose of the civil servant community and my dad's house."

No one of the three old men objected to this.

If it really comes to the end of the world, the family must be united.

Since it is impossible to live separately, it is necessary to dispose of unnecessary property.

"I sold the jewelry and the watch, and I also want to sell the car that Gu Kai is driving now. Dad, you should also dispose of your car.

Just after the end of the world, your car was destroyed during the earthquake. It was smashed, and I didn't dig it out until the end. Now I can sell it for some money."

"I won't sell it yet." Shen Jianyi waved to his daughter.

"My car is too old to sell it for a few dollars. Didn't you guys just mention that you need to repair the house? Then there must be a time to use the car. Keep it for use. Time is more important than money at this time."

Now that money is mentioned, The couple reacted at the same time, they looked at Shen Cong together, and asked, "Are you running out of money?"

"Not much, we are only in the early 200,000 yuan, and we can't do anything big at a critical time. "Shen Cong replied very calmly.

"I'll give you the money." Shen Jianyi said immediately.

"Wait." Cheng Ru stopped her husband: "You don't have to rush to give her money. I think we can divide the work first while everyone is here, shall we?

Since we are going to start preparations, this is both decoration and material preparation. , certainly can't rely on their two children. We and Lao Gu also have to help each other. Let's share, and each person is responsible for their own affairs, which is more efficient. "

Before Cheng Ru retired, she was doing administrative work at the school, and she was very good at management.

She was so shocked just now, and when she reacted, she immediately took over the work of the general manager.

After hearing this, the whole family had no opinion.

After several discussions, it was decided that Gu Kai and Shen Jianyi were mainly responsible for the decoration of the houses on both sides. Although the work is to be packaged out, someone has to be watching at home.

At the same time, Gu Kai had to cooperate with Shen Cong to buy things. Some large items were not something she could handle by herself as a girl.

The purchase of seeds and grains is the responsibility of Shen Jianyi.

The first thing Gu Zhengchu had to do was to deal with his house, and then Shen Cong helped him move.

Of course, the most important thing is to move the existing medicine and equipment in the clinic.

In addition, he is also responsible for purchasing Chinese and Western medicines and nutritional health products that the whole family may use later.

Cheng Ru is mainly responsible for the processing of food. In the days to come, she will make as much food, vegetables and meat as possible into finished and semi-finished products while her cooking will not be questioned.

In this way, if everyone is short of food, they will not cause unnecessary trouble due to the taste of cooking.

In addition, Cheng Ru also needs to be in charge of supervision when Shen Cong buys and buys.

For example, Cheng Ru almost died of anger after learning that the electric car was purchased by the young couple in full, without realizing that they could get a mortgage.

I have deep doubts about my daughter and son-in-law's shopping ability.

Based on this distrust, after Shen Cong said she was going to pawn the house, Cheng Ru called her student who was already working in the bank without saying a word.

Shen Cong's plan was completely overturned without asking a few questions.

"The pawnshop lends only half of the total price of the house at most, and the appraised price is generally low. Don't pawn it, take the house to the bank for a mortgage loan. We have a lot of houses, and after comprehensive reference, we can lend at least 7% of the house price. More than ten, it is more cost-effective than the pawnshop.

Tomorrow you will go to Chen Xu, Xiaokai, you and Gonggong. Except for the civil servant community, Fulin's mortgage is also mortgaged. I don't know what the future will be like. Get the money first.

Even if the loan needs to be repaid in the future, with so many people in our family, we can't afford to pay for a house?"

Mom said in a deep silence.

Only then did she know that it was possible to do so.

It seems that she is really not the material for financial management, and since she was so eager to hand over the financial power immediately.

The others obviously had the same idea as Shen Cong. Even Gu Zhengchu took the initiative to say that when the money for the house was returned, it would be handed over to Cheng Ru, who would be in charge of unified control.

Chapter 8

Although the impending natural disaster is like a boulder pressing on everyone's heart, making everyone feel heavy.

But the reconciliation of the young couple is still a happy event.

In addition, Cheng Ru and Shen Jianyi prepared a good meal early, and the pot of old duck soup was simmered to the extreme.

So after the discussion was almost done, everyone moved to the restaurant and started to enjoy the food together.

Naturally, Shen Cong was the most satisfied with this meal. Many of those delicacies were delicacies that she dared not even dream of recalling.

After eating straight, she didn't even want to lift her head, and she didn't want to say a word.

Seeing her like this, and thinking of her previous description, everyone present only felt a burst of stuffiness in their chests, indescribably depressed.

Cheng Ru and Shen Jianyi couldn't even eat a single bite. They only cared about adding vegetables to their daughter's bowl, hoping to make up for her daughter's previous losses.

So, naturally, Shen Cong was fed up all at once.

After the meal, the three of them did not leave in a hurry. Gu Zhengchu took Gu Kai and went with him to study the ancient book.

Gu Kai majored in ancient Chinese at University, and after graduation he went to the ancient book publishing house. The content of the book was just right for his major.

Therefore, although the book is now in his father's hands, Gu Kai is also quite interested.

So the two of them got together to think about it.

And Cheng Ru also has something to say to her daughter.

"I see that you have a lot of children's items in those packages. Did you prepare them for Tongtong and Shanshan?"

Cheng Ru naturally asked straightforwardly without making any detours when talking to her daughter.

"Yes. Mom and Dad, I was just about to discuss with you. We have to deceive my sister and brother-in-law and the four of them back." Shen Cong replied.

"Cheat?" Shen Jianyi frowned.

Before he retired, he was an old leader of the Cultural Affairs Bureau. Even though he had retired for several years, he still carried that kind of "righteousness" on his body, and he usually spoke and did things in a straight-forward manner.

It's still a little uncomfortable to hear the word "cheating".

But Cheng Ru was much more mellow than him.

She thought about it and nodded: "I have to lie back. There is not much time to talk to them. I don't know how long it will take.

Besides, what you said today, except for our closest relatives. , other people can't tell it casually. Your sister is fine, but your brother-in-law... your sister can't say it casually!"

"I said they have to believe it!" Shen Cong said with a bitter face: "I can still see you. Who did a trick for whom?" The

reason why she was willing to tell the family about the rebirth and the space was because she was sure that they were all trustworthy.

Although returning from the end of the world and seeing more sinister human nature, Shen Cong is still willing to believe that there is true love in the world.

If even the closest relatives can't be trusted and need to be guarded, she thinks it's meaningless to live, and it's no big deal to die again.

It was as if in the last days of the apocalypse, the whole family was gone, only she was still alive.

But what's the difference between being alive and the walking dead?

However, this kind of trust can only be given to the closest relatives.

Shen Cong cherishes the opportunity to be reborn as a human being.

I definitely don't want to bring disaster to her and her family because of her indiscretion.

"How are you going to lie?" Cheng Ru asked.

"I want to call my sister and say that because I need money, you are going to sell the house in the civil servant community. For the sake of fairness, you are going to share the money with us. Let them come back and share it face to face, which will save the future. Complain."

Having said that, Shen Cong curled his lips: "My brother-in-law, he is chattering about other things, saying that he must run the fastest if he has money. Mom, don't worry, they dare to call tomorrow after this call. Just book a flight and come back."

Shen Cong's sister, Shenxi, went abroad with her then-boyfriend and now husband Zhang Ye after graduating from university.

After getting married abroad, having children, and starting a business, I have now settled there.

The two sisters have always had a good relationship. Shen Xi is five years older than Shen Cong, and he has loved this sister since childhood.

Knowing that Shen Cong was going to study abroad, Shen Xi was the happiest one in the family.

She excitedly took care of everything that my sister needed to do abroad, even the air tickets that she needed to issue for the visa were booked by her.

Naturally, she had nothing to say about her elder sister Shen Cong, but she didn't really like her brother-in-law.

In fact, Zhang Ye wasn't a bad person either. He had been good to Shen Xi and the second elder of the Shen family all these years.

It's just that the person is a little bit fond of taking advantage of it.

Before his father was sick and hospitalized, he needed to buy a special medicine to increase immunity. Because the medicine was in short supply, Zhang Ye, who couldn't come back for a while, called Shen Cong for help.

Shen Cong went to beg Gu Zhengchu again, and it took a lot of trouble to get the medicine. Because it was urgent, Shen Cong paid for the medicine cost of 50,000 yuan first.

On the phone, Zhang Ye was extremely grateful. He said nicely about a mule cart. In the end, he said that the money would be returned when he returned during the Chinese New Year.

The family did come back during the Chinese New Year.

As soon as they met Zhang Ye, he gave Shen Cong a big red envelope and said with a smile that it was the lucky money for her.

At that time, Shen Cong was still in the dark. He couldn't understand that this same generation... How could a brother-in-law give his sister-in-law lucky money?

As a result, I pulled it out and found that it contained five thousand euros.

She immediately understood that this was Zhang Ye's advance payment for the medicine!

Shen Cong laughed angrily at that time.

If it wasn't for Gu Kai, or for fear of embarrassing her sister, she would have to say the bad words at that time -

co-author, is this using euros as pounds?

Do you think you are the smartest person in the world? !

Shen Xi found out about this later, and was so angry that he was trembling all over. He wanted to give her more money, but Shen Cong refused.

She knew that her sister was looking at the store in the small company at home now, and she didn't have any living money in her hand, and she didn't want to affect their husband and wife relationship because of this.

But this matter is like being forced to take a mouthful of shi, and it can be ignored, but it can't be ignored.

If it wasn't for her own sister, the two children were her sister's own flesh and blood, and Zhang Ye was inseparable from them.

She really didn't want to tell him about the end of the world, and she didn't want him to come back with her.

But—— in the

last life, because the end of the world came too suddenly, and the elder sister's family was too far apart, they never got in touch again from beginning to end.

Although my parents didn't say anything, I always thought about my sister's family.

The words that the second old man left for Shen Cong before his death were all one sentence: "If possible, I will find your sister, I hope their family is safe."

Therefore, in this life, Shen Cong can't ignore her sister's family no matter what.

After listening to Shen Cong's words, Shen Jianyi was the first to object: "No, you can't say that, don't mention the money! You call your sister and say that I am seriously ill and hospitalized, and the critical illness notice has been issued, let them come back for the last time. !"

Shen Cong became anxious, and stood up from the chair at once: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!"

She had seen her parents die with her own eyes, and it sounded so heartbreaking!

The movement here disturbed Gu Kai and his son, and they also came over.

Shen Jianyi waved at his daughter and said firmly, "That's it, if they don't come back, let them make their own decisions." After that,     he

looked at Shen Cong with a warning: "Don't mention the money!"

Suddenly, such a sentence came out, and Cheng Ru's heart skipped a beat.

But now she also figured out the taste, and nodded slowly.

She grabbed her daughter who was still arguing, and said, "your dad is right, just call your sister. In addition to asking them to come back immediately, she also told them that the operation is in a hurry and the money is not enough, so let them Bring back the money. How much you can bring, the difference is very big, at least one million."

Cheng Ru said this, not only Shen Cong, but everyone present understood what Er Lao meant -

this was to test Zhang Ye!

His father was seriously ill. Needless to say, Shen Xi would return desperately, but Zhang Ye might not.

Especially asking him to bring the money back...

"Monggong, call, you can call your sister now. It happens that Xiaokai and I are both there. She will believe a little more when she sees us." Even Gu Zhengchu voted. One vote in favor.

In desperation, Shen Cong had to make a video call to her sister in front of everyone.

The moment the phone was connected, Shen Cong only called out, "Sister," and couldn't speak any longer.

Dad may not care what he said, but let her as a daughter say that her father is in critical condition...

She can't open her mouth even if she kills Shen Cong.

Shen Xi over the phone was cooking.

Seeing her sister, she immediately laughed: "Yo, your call came so coincidentally, I'm just thinking about making dinner and calling you. Your brother-in-law visited your school yesterday and said that the student dormitory has been booked out. . But he's near the school..."

"Xixi, let's not talk about the school, you turn off the fire, Mom has something to tell you."

Seeing that her little daughter couldn't say anything, Cheng Ru answered the phone.

Shen Xi was stunned for a moment, she lowered her head and looked in front of the screen of her mobile phone, only to realize that her sister was actually calling at home, and it seemed that there were many people in the family.

She looked at it again, and then was slightly startled... She seemed to have seen Gu Kai and Uncle Gu? !

Shen Xi put out the fire on the stove without saying a word, and ignored the rice in the pot. He brought his mobile phone and sat down at the dining table outside the kitchen.

Then she said cautiously: "Mom, I'm listening, what do you have to say?"

She hadn't heard her mother speak to her in such a serious tone for a long time, let alone in front of Uncle Gu and Gu Kai. .

Shen Xi knew that since his sister and brother-in-law got divorced, Uncle Gu hadn't been to the house for a long time.

If even Uncle Gu was disturbed, it would definitely not be a trivial matter.

"Xixi, your dad...is seriously ill and is being rescued in the hospital now. Come back with your children. If you hurry up, you can see one last time."

Even Cheng Ru, who always considers herself an atheist, is not interested in those who are chaotic. I don't believe in the things of God at all.

But it is still very difficult to say this.

She calmly glanced at her husband who was hiding far away, and could only wish to change roles with him.

pat.

In the video, Shen Xi's body suddenly leaned back, and the phone suddenly fell on the table.

Then the picture disappeared, and there was only a mess of sounds.

First there was the creaking sound of the chair rubbing against the ground, and then the sound of Tong Tong and Shan Shan calling for their mother.

Then, as the child cried out "Dad", there was a burst of hurried footsteps.

Then the phone was finally picked up again, and several familiar faces appeared on the screen together.

"What's wrong with my dad? Mom, what's wrong with my dad? What's going on?"

Shen Xi pushed Zhang Ye away who was supporting her, held the phone in both hands, and asked while crying.

It could be seen that she must have been too excited just now, and then collapsed on the chair. She didn't calm down until Zhang Ye ran over to support her.

Soon, the phone was snatched from Shen Xi's hand, and Zhang Ye's voice came over.

"Mom, what's your father's situation? Tell me. Xixi is a little emotional at the moment. Tell me if you have anything to say."

"Your father is ill and has an emergency. Now he is in the ICU of the hospital, and the critical illness notice has been issued. Your sister came back today to raise money, so hurry up and come back, it will be too late if you come back late."

"What's wrong, it's so serious? It's not like calling home a few days ago and it's fine, what kind of emergency is this, so serious? " Zhang Ye was also in a hurry.

Gu Zhengchu saw that Cheng Ru couldn't make it up anymore, so he leaned over to the phone and said, "Xiao Zhang, I'm your Uncle Gu, do you still know me?"

Zhang Ye naturally knew that this was Shen Cong's father-in-law, the old hospital of the Chinese Medicine Hospital. long.

Back then, I asked others for help, so I nodded quickly: "Know, know, Uncle Gu..."

"The weather has been bad recently, and many people have acute illnesses, and many older people can't stand it. Don't ask so many questions. Now , hurry up and buy a ticket and come back, what your mother said is true, don't come back late and regret it."

"Also," he paused: "When you come back, think of a way to bring more money back with more money. Well. Your mother is reluctant to say it, but she and Lao Shen only have two children, Xixi and Conggong. Raising children to guard against the elderly, now is the time for you to do your filial piety. Lao Shen has only been in the

hospital for a few days. 100,000 went in. The two of them are discussing to sell the house. If you don't bring money back, your father is really helpless. "

Shen Xi burst into tears.

"I'll book a flight now! Mom, don't be afraid, we'll be right back! You tell Dad, let him hold on, let him wait for us, I'll raise money, I'll go now..." At the

end , Shenxi has cried so much that she can't speak.

Although Zhang Ye tried his best to keep his composure, it was obviously difficult for him to accept these words, and his face became very ugly.

Coupled with the cries of children, the opposite side became a mess.

Without saying anything more, Cheng Ru urged them to come back quickly and hung up the phone.

The room became extremely silent for a while.

It may be that Shen Xi cried too much, and the eyes of the Shen family, including Shen Cong, were red.

Gu Zhengchu and Gu Kai were also silent, not saying a word.

In the end, Shen Cong asked in a low voice, "Mom, do you think my sister and the others can come back soon?"

Cheng Ru didn't say anything.

She looked at her father again, but Shen Jianyi avoided her gaze.

Shen Cong pursed her lips and said in a very firm tone: "I think so. My sister will definitely come back, parents, you have to believe her     !

"

Chapter 9

First sent Gu Zhengchu home, and then the husband and wife returned to the publishing house's small home together.

Whether it was for Shen Cong or Gu Kai, this was their first intimacy after being separated for a long time, and it was naturally indescribable affection.

So much so that the next morning, the two almost overslept.

After washing up, Gu Kai went to the unit to go through the resignation formalities as agreed in advance, while Shen Cong began to pack up the things at home.

Because it is a collective dormitory, the house is not big, and there is not much furniture.

In order to be able to use the space as much as possible in the future, last night Gu Kai specifically asked about the situation of Shen Cong's space.

After knowing that time is still there, whatever is put in, it will be the same as it is taken out.

Even the position where it was put in would not change, and even if it was left in the air, there was no possibility of it falling, so he took out a pen and paper and drew a drawing of the items on the spot.

The drawings were very detailed, and all the furniture, electrical appliances, etc. in the home were scaled down and planned to the most suitable location, and the space was not wasted at all.

So Shen Cong suddenly found that his twenty square space could put all the things in the whole house.

According to the drawings, Shen Cong emptied the house in more than half an hour.

This side will be cleaned up, and the master who has made an appointment to move the air conditioner over there will come.

The master had just removed the two air conditioners in the bedroom and living room, and Gu Kai also came back.

Looking at the empty hut, there was a touch of nostalgia in his eyes.

After all, this is where they lived for three years, leaving too many memories for the two of them.

"Is it done?" Shen Cong asked.

"I just told the leader that I handed in the resignation report, and the process has to go a bit, but I don't have to go to work." Gu Kai explained.

Shen Cong nodded.

As long as you don't have to go to work, as for the process, it doesn't matter if you go or not.

As agreed in advance, the master put the air conditioner on their car and pulled it to the villa first.

Shen Jianyi was already waiting over there.

Meanwhile, Shen Cong and Gu Kai went together to return the dormitory key to the management department, in exchange for a deposit of 30,000 yuan.

After that, the two went to the bank to find Cheng Ru's student Chen Xu.

Chen Xu was older than the two of them, looking in his thirties.

Seeing Shen Cong, he laughed first.

"Monggong, you definitely don't remember me, but I still remember how you looked when you went to school to find Teacher Cheng.

At that time, you wore a ponytail and walked with a flicker. It's

been so many years, you They've grown up so much."

Hearing this, Shen Cong also laughed and called out obediently, "Brother Chen Xu."

Her mother has brought too many students, she can't possibly know them all, but there are so many brothers and sisters. Everyone has an impression of her.

Obviously, Cheng Ru had already explained everything on the phone yesterday, and the reason was that Shen Cong and his wife were going to study abroad together.

With the help of Chen Xu, and the use of two houses as collateral at the same time, and the Shen family's villa as a guarantee, the loan process was very smooth, and there was basically no trouble.

As long as you go through the housing appraisal process, you can release the loan.

"I'm familiar with the people from the appraisal company. I'll say hello to them later. I'll do a real estate appraisal for you this afternoon, and try to release the money tomorrow and the day after.

Go back and tell Teacher Cheng to reassure her. I'll keep an eye on it here. It will never delay your use."

After all the formalities were completed, Chen Xu sent them out of the bank and said comfortingly.

"Thank you Brother Chen Xu, I really caused you trouble today. Oh, by the way, this is what my mother asked me to bring to you and sister-in-law."

Shen Cong spoke and took out a bulging bag from the backpack he was carrying. The paper bag was handed over.

Seeing that Chen Xu was about to refuse, she quickly explained: "It's not something valuable, this is a traditional Chinese medicine prepared by my father-in-law. Isn't the weather bad during this time, adults and children are very easy to get sick, this is to cool off the heat and improve immunity My mother specially asked us to

bring it here, and she specially explained that you should remember to cook and drink it for your family members, especially the elderly and children, don’t take it seriously.”

Shen Cong’s father-in-law is a famous doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. , and everyone familiar with their family knows.

Hearing that this was the medicine that Dean Gu personally dispensed, Chen Xu naturally couldn't push it again.

He came over and thanked him again and again.

Shen Cong has been out for a long time and has not forgotten to explain it again, let him not forget to cook it for his family.

After returning from the bank, the two were going to return to Fulin first.

Yesterday afternoon, the master Gu Jiashu was looking for contacted them, and everyone made an appointment to measure the size today.

In the afternoon, they were still there waiting for someone from the appraisal company to come to the door.

Sitting in the car, Shen Cong didn't speak for a long time.

Gu Kai started the car, then turned his head and glanced at his wife: "Is it uncomfortable?"

"Hmm." Shen Cong said dullly, "I don't know what will happen to Brother Chen Xu and his family."

It was almost the same time when she returned to Beining. It's been two years, and she doesn't know how many relatives and old friends have encountered accidents in the middle.

In addition, seeing many lives and deaths at that time, people have become very numb, as long as they are not the closest relatives, they will not care too much.

But now, looking at these living people, and then thinking about the impending disaster...

How can I not feel sad in my heart?

"I'll buy them something as a thank you." Shen Cong sighed and turned on his phone.

No matter how sad I am, there is nothing I can do. In the face of natural and man-made disasters, the power of an individual is really too small.

It is impossible for her to spread the word about what has not happened. Even if she wants to say it, no one will believe it!

Logging on the shopping website, Shen Cong bought a bunch of high-calorie, light and hunger-resistant food in the name of buying snacks for her children. Such as Crackers, Brownies, Cream Cookies, Toffee, Vitamin Effervescent Tablets.

In addition, she also bought three foldable helmets, the most complete self-defense first aid kit, and the delivery addresses were all written by Chen Xu.

"Hope it helps a little," she muttered to herself at the moment she placed the order.

Not long after returning to Fulin, the appointed master came, and Gu Jiashu came along with him.

"Jiashu, why are you so free and didn't go to work?" Shen Cong couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Gu Jiashu has been working in a company since graduating from college, and now he is the manager of the sales department. He is usually very busy.

"I'm on vacation, sister-in-law."

Gu Jiashu explained with a smile: "Tingting has always said that she wants to play, and has been talking to me for a long time. I thought that I just took advantage of the off-season to take her annual leave, so I could accompany her out for a walk. "

Tingting is Gu Jiashu's girlfriend. In my impression, the two have reached the stage of talking about marriage.

Shen Cong's heart skipped a beat, and asked subconsciously, "Where are you going to play?"

"Go to Xishan. We signed up for a self-driving tour group. We will start next week and play while walking. It will take about a month."

Having said this, Gu Jiashu showed an apologetic expression: "I didn't know that the house was going to be renovated before. If we knew, we would go out at a different time..."

"It's too late to change now." Without waiting for Gu Jiashu to finish speaking, Shen Cong blocked his words.

She now finally realized why she had never seen Gu Jiashu again after returning from Nan'an in her last life, not even his mother.

At that time, because her father-in-law's health was already very poor and her mental state was not very good, she didn't ask any further questions.

Now I understand - that's because this guy went on a trip with his girlfriend and encountered a ground fissure!

Xishan was also one of the first to be hit by the earthquake.

Unlike the tsunami caused by the earthquake in Nan'an, there was a sudden ground split.

There are large cracks one by one in a good flat ground, and it is said that the widest point reaches nearly 100 meters!

In the face of such cruel nature, human beings have no ability to resist.

People who can't run in time, speeding cars, collapsed buildings, villages, communities...

even the entire mountain, the entire stream fell into the cracks in an instant and disappeared since then.

What is the difference between traveling to Xishan at this time and going to die?

It has been several years since Gu Jiashu's father passed away, and now his mother lives with him.

If he is gone and the old lady encounters a natural disaster, what are the chances of surviving?

Now that he knows this in this life, Shen Cong has to stop this guy even if he says anything, even if he thinks that he is unreasonable as a cousin.

"Jiashu, you go back and discuss with Tingting. Don't go to Xishan. Let's just say that we are really busy here. It happened that you were on vacation, and my sister-in-law brought you to watch it.

Your brother told you too. , my mother also needs to install together, there are so many jobs for two houses, and your brother alone will not be able to do it.

Just do us a favor, and when the installation is finished, brother and sister-in-law will send you a two-person tour of Europe!"

Gu Jiashu said The time change was originally just a polite word, after all, this trip was already planned by them.

I never thought that my cousin would actually follow his words and propose not to let them travel!

This is not his cousin's style.

For a while, Gu Jiashu was so choked that he didn't know how to answer.

But when Shen Cong finished speaking, he felt that what his sister-in-law said was the truth.

Not only did my cousin call last night, but even my uncle called him, saying that he should find time to help with the move.

Although Gu Jiashu didn't know how the cousin's sister-in-law was so capable, she could really persuade the uncle, but in general it was a good thing.

At least you don't have to worry about the uncle living alone in that old house and what will happen.

But whether it's moving or redecorating the house, it's really a big project, and no one will do it.

My cousin is running around alone... Just thinking about Gu Jiashu makes me feel unreliable.

Moreover, the two brothers and sisters, both of whom are literate, can talk about calligraphy, painting, and painting.

negotiate? Hehe, that's not to be deceived to death!

Gu Jiashu thought about it, and suddenly felt that he was responsible.

Girlfriend's side... ah, let's coax it.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell Tingting, if it doesn't work, I'll pull her over to help too."

Having said that, Gu Jiashu looked at Shen Cong with a naive smile: "Sister-in-law, why are we talking politely? What kind of European tour, can I quit this job without that tour? If I dare not, my uncle has to fix me too."

Shen Cong didn't expect Gu Jiashu to change his mind so quickly, and was really willing to decorate it to give up travel plans.

This moved her very much.

In addition to being moved, there was even a little apology.

"Tingting's place to tell people, coax well, don't make the girls feel uncomfortable. Jiashu, sister-in-law, I will save this gift for you, and it will be honored sooner or later."

The master who came here today is For the stainless steel doors and windows, Gu Kai took it around and measured the dimensions before he knew what was going on here.

After hearing that Shen Cong had held down the Gu family tree and prevented him from traveling to Xishan, Gu Kai glanced at his wife.

Then he said to his cousin: "The measurement is almost done here. Take the master to Yingshui again to measure the house over there, and we can do it together. By

the way, I also made an appointment to make solar panels today . Your master will come to measure it, and you can take it back to your house after the measurement is finished. Your house is also on the top floor, and it is also suitable to install solar panels. When the time comes, they will be installed together."

"Huh?" Gu Jiashu was stunned.

"No no no, brother, you can just pretend, we won't." He waved his hands again and again after he reacted.

Just kidding, he just finished building the house less than a year ago, and he is about to get married again, so he has to repay the mortgage.

Where does he have the money to install solar panels? !

After this set is over, why do you have to have ten thousand pieces!     "If you want to pretend

, you can pretend, why are there so many words? This is what your uncle means, and he will pay for the money.

"

Chapter 10

Hearing that the uncle asked him to furnish his home, Gu Jiashu did not refuse.

He smiled and scratched his head and said, "Then I'll go to Uncle Xie. By the way, brother, you don't need to worry about Uncle's side. I'll find a car tomorrow to help him move it all at once. There's not much stuff there. , just leave it to me, don't worry about it."

After sending off Gu Jiashu and the master who made the doors and windows, the people who made waterproofing and installed thermal insulation layers also came, and the young couple began to get busy again.

When the two were busy talking to their master about their requirements, Shen Cong's phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and said to her husband, "Dad's."

Then she connected the call.

"Monggong, have you settled on the loan?" Gu Zhengchu asked over the microphone.

"Okay, the person evaluating the company will come over in a while. Gu Kai and I are waiting."

"Can Xiao Kai wait by himself? I want you to come and help me move some things."

"Moving things... "Shen Cong hesitated a bit.

She glanced at the few people standing beside her, walked to the corner, and whispered, "Dad, we retire the dormitory house in the morning, everything is in the space, we haven't had time to vacate it, and we can't put anything else down. No. "

"Don't need that. You drive over, we have a car, we will move the important things first, and let the family tree find someone tomorrow. Let Xiaokai keep an eye on the family affairs first, I mainly look for Your parents have something to do,

so it can't be too late." Hearing what her father-in-law said, Shen Cong definitely couldn't shirk any longer: "Okay, Dad, then I'll go over now."

He left Gu Kai with the key to the civil servant's community house and confessed again. Shen Cong drove to Gu's old house.

Before I stopped, I saw a white printed piece of paper on the closed balcony door, which read: "The hospital is closed due to relocation."

There were several people standing at the door, not knowing whether it was a neighbor or a patient, and they were huddled together, pointing at the door and muttering.

Shen Cong turned the steering wheel and opened from the main gate of the community.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw that the house was almost finished.

The knickknacks that were placed outside were all packed up. There were several large bags on the table in the outhouse, and two suitcases were standing by the wall.

In addition, there are boxes of books that have been packed.

Look at the things in this place... The

old man didn't sleep much all night, did he?

However, looking at the old man's complexion is quite good, he looks more energetic than himself!

While muttering in his heart, Shen Cong said to Gu Zhengchu, "Dad, what are you doing in such a hurry? After I emptied the space, I came here and finished it. How tiring is it to take in and take out so many things!"

"It's okay." Gu Zhengchu waved his hand indifferently.

"Come in with me." He said and walked into the pharmacy first.

Shen Cong quickly followed.

As soon as he entered the door of the pharmacy, Shen Cong couldn't help taking a deep breath: "It's so fragrant! Wow, how come these pots of flowers are all blooming?!"

There were two pots of flowers on the table in the pharmacy, one for jasmine and one for gardenia. son.

When Shen Cong came in yesterday, they didn't even have a single flower bud. In just one day's work, all of them actually bloomed brilliantly, and even the leaves became shiny.

"Is this an elixir?" She leaned over curiously and stared at it for a long time.

Gu Zhengchu pointed to the two pots of flowers and said to her, "You don't need to worry about other things. Put these two pots of flowers in your space, I'm afraid they will bump it outside."

After that, he hesitated again and asked: "Can you put living things in your space?"

"Plants can, but animals can't, I tried it." Shen Cong replied.

Gu Zhengchu breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he started urging again: "Hurry up, let's go early after the installation, I really have something to do with your parents."

Co-authoring such a long journey to let yourself run for these two pots of flowers?

Shen Cong couldn't help staring at the two "baby eggs" carefully.

But looking at it again, I didn't see anything unusual except for the vigorous growth.

Seeing how anxious the old man was, she didn't ask much.

Shen Cong put the flowers into the space, looked at the small medicine cabinets again, and suggested, "Dad, I'll take out our clothes, quilts and sundries, and let the family tree move together tomorrow, and then put this Put the medicine cabinet and Chinese medicine in, right?

Let's be careful, although there are no people living in that community, it's best not to let people see these medicines."

Gu Zhengchu nodded.

He watched Shen Cong flipping things back and forth in the space, and after a while he asked thoughtfully: "Gong Cong, is it possible for your space to expand a little more? Do I need to prepare something for you in advance?"

"It will definitely expand." Shen Cong said firmly.

"My space appeared relatively late, and many people had supernatural abilities before me. Although everyone couldn't understand why this happened, what is the principle? But whose superpower is stronger and whose superpower is Elevation has always been a topic that people love to discuss.

But there is no unified statement on how to improve. People who really improve are eager for others to compare, and they will not disclose

it casually. I feel that this should be related to Personal physique is related. My ability is so tasteless, probably because I was too weak at that time."

Speaking of this, Shen Cong's expression showed a hint of shame.

At that time, she was the only one left in the family, struggling to the brink of starvation every day.

For her, the ability of space makes no difference whether she has it or not. At that time, she didn't even know if she could live, and she didn't have the energy to think about promotion.

So that half a year has passed, and the space is still as big as when it first appeared, and there is no improvement at all.

"If it's a physical problem, then don't be afraid, we must have a solution." Shen Cong's words obviously lifted Gu Zhengchu's spirits.

There was a slight smile on his normally serious face.

"Mongmong, do you know why this flower blooms?" Gu Zhengchu tapped on the table with his fingers, and actually sold off.

Shen Cong naturally wanted to cheer for the old man, not to mention she was very curious: "Why?"

"Because of your book."

"That book? Is that the booklet with the context map?"

"Yes. I was roughly the same yesterday. I flipped through it and found that the book should introduce a kind of exercise to strengthen the body. I tried to do it at night when I had nothing to do, but I didn't expect it to be really useful!"

"Exercise? Practice with my dad. The same qigong?" Shen Cong couldn't believe it.

You must know that the booklet originally belonged to the old man, and he gave it to himself before his death.

If it was really a way to strengthen the body, why didn't he practice at that time?

He was already in poor health by then.

Before the old man died, he kept saying: "It's too late, it's too late", although she didn't know what it was, but Shen Cong couldn't believe that the thing that once made the old man so regrettable, now it's just one night, and it's solved ?

Seeing the unbelief on Shen Cong's face, Gu Zhengchu glared at her: "Why is it the same as your father's qigong? He was just practicing and playing, how could it be the same?

Walk around, I won't tell you. , I'll tell your parents. Don't waste time here, hurry up to work, hurry up and leave!"

Seeing that the old man was about to get angry, Shen Cong suppressed the question that came to his mouth.

She sorted things out as fast as she could, and then moved the large and small bags outside to the car with the old man, and went back to Yingshui Village, where her parents were.

When the two arrived at the community, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and they were very quiet along the way, not even a single person was seen.

But when he arrived at the door of the villa, he found that the house was very lively.

Several workers were taking various measurements in the yard with tools. Father Shen stood on the roof of the fourth floor with a middle-aged man in overalls and glasses. The two of them gestured and did not know what they were talking about.

Don't ask, these are the workers who will come to decorate.

Seeing their car, Cheng Ru quickly greeted them.

She shook the water off her hands and asked, "Why are you here now? It's hot! Have you eaten yet?"

"Let's put some pads on the road. Mom, don't worry about eating for now, what's going on in the room? According to the arrangement, I'll help my dad carry the things up first."

"They all live on the second floor, so everyone lives together to take care of them. In addition, it saves energy." Cheng Ru lowered her voice in the last sentence.

The three moved things to the upstairs room together.

Although it was very convenient for Shen Cong to take things from the space, after all, he needed mental strength to support him.

There is no problem with taking a small amount, but the furniture and appliances of an entire house can be taken in and out repeatedly in a short period of time, which is also very expensive.

After taking out all the things in the space and returning them to their places, Shen Cong's face became very pale.

Seeing her like this, Gu Zhengchu asked, "Is there any jade at home? Jade jewelry is also fine."

"Jade?" Shen Cong and Cheng Ru's mother and daughter were stunned at the same time.

"Bring me some if there are any, first take seven samples, the shape doesn't matter, the quality is a little better."

Although I don't know what my father-in-law wants jade for?

But looking at his serious look, he knew he wasn't joking.

Shen Cong first looked at his mother with a guilty conscience, and then shook his head desperately: "I don't have it, all my jewelry is sold."

Cheng Ru glanced at her with disgust: "I know you don't have any. Those things you have are all fake, none of them are real. It's useless if you don't sell them."

Shen Cong really doesn't like any jade jewelry, although the previous ones are all It is a big brand, each of which is of great value, but it is inlaid with artificial gems, not genuine.

It is estimated that it is useless to keep it.

Cheng Ru went out to rummage about her family.

Shen Cong curiously approached her father-in-law and asked in a low voice, "Dad, what do you want jade for? Is it because of that book? Could it be that there are some martial arts secrets in it, and you need to create a seven-star array or something?"

Look at her With rounded eyes like a curious baby, a smile appeared on Gu Zhengchu's face.

He nodded: "It's really the secret book."

"No way?" Shen Cong was so surprised.

She didn't know how many times she had flipped through the book herself, why didn't she see that she was still a baby?

"Dad, can you take it out and show it to me again?" She suddenly regained her spirits.

"Wait a minute, wait until your mother brings the things."

Cheng Ru came over after a while, and Shen Jianyi came in with her.

It seems that the measurement masters have all gone.

Apparently she had already told her husband that she needed jade, and as soon as Shen Jianyi entered the door, she asked, "Old Gu, what do you want that thing for? Your younger brother and sister are not people who like to dress up, and there really aren't many of them at home. Go out to buy some now?"

And Cheng Ru also looked embarrassed.

"Brother Gu, I've been looking for it for a long time, but I only have a pair of bracelets and two jade plaques. I bought this jade plaque for Tongtong Shanshan, and I didn't have time to give it to them. I really don't have anything else. Can I do anything other than jade? I also have a set of gemstone earrings and necklaces, can I replace them?"
