The apocalypse descended, and after enduring numerous hardships, Chu Xi lost all her loved ones, barely surviving.
Fifteen years into the apocalypse, accustomed to being low-key and cautious,...
Just as casually as buying groceries, Chu Xi owned her first house in Chaoyang City, a very exquisite and beautiful house.
The next morning, Chu Xi checked out of the guesthouse and arrived at their new home as scheduled, carrying a bag full of "luggage". Xiao Shitou was chirping all the way, and was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Soon they arrived at their destination, and Li Tao was waiting at the door with his two children, carrying large and small bags. They were ready to leave for Kyoto, leaving only this courtyard, which had already been sold to Chu Xi. There was nothing left for them to linger on, or rather, to quickly escape this sad place...
After exchanging a few brief greetings with Li Tao, Chu Xi saw them off and walked into the exquisite little courtyard.
There was no rags or debris left over from just moving in, nor were there piles of miscellaneous items. Chu Xi couldn't help but look at Li Tao with a higher opinion. There was basically no need to pack up, just move in with just your luggage!
Of course, Chu Xi still needs to do a thorough cleaning of this place where he will be living for a long time, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable. Only after cleaning and tidying it up by himself will he feel like it is his own home.
First, she closed the door tightly and let the little stone play in the yard. Then Chu Xi started her magical operation in the room.
His mental power unleashed, like a three-dimensional scan, chasing out all the snakes, insects, ants, and rats in the roof, inside, and underground. He collected all the clothes, basins, and tableware left behind by the previous owner into the space and would discard them when the opportunity arose. As for the garbage in the cracks, cobwebs, and debris left behind, they were all swept away. Even the dust that was everywhere in the space was swept away. In an instant, the room became exceptionally clean...
Then Chu Xi performed a magic trick, putting some not-too-eye-catching mahogany beds, dressing tables, antique display cases, wardrobes, eight-immortal tables, and other furniture, as well as pots and pans, oils, salt, sauces, vinegars, teas, and other kitchen utensils, as well as white pigeon bicycles, sewing machines, radios, and other home appliances into place. These things would have to be shown off in the future, so why not get them done now and say they were just the additions from the previous owner...
Then put quilts and mattresses for all seasons in the bedroom, seasonal clothes and personal items in the wardrobe, and top off the bed with a high-end mat, silk quilt, and pillows...
Looking at the brand new room, Chu Xi's heart leaped with joy. Looking around, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up into a beautiful arc.
Then I took a look at the rooms on both sides. They were cleaned, sorted and arranged in the same quick and hasty manner. Of course, they only contained some things that could be used in daily life, so they were basically empty.
The whole process took less than an hour. When Chu Xi finished cleaning up and came out, Little Stone was still having fun on his own. Little Gray next to him was also happily running around the new yard with his mouth open.
While the two little guys were enjoying themselves, Chu Xi came to the corner of the yard under the grape vines that seemed to drive away the scorching sun, and instantly felt much cooler.
With a wave of his hand, two lounge chairs and a quaint stone table were placed, along with a few plates of fruit and melon seeds. Chu Xi lay down directly on them. In the hot summer, it was comfortable and cool here, with a gentle breeze, which made her feel refreshed.
"Little Stone, come here and have a rest. Eat a piece of watermelon to quench your thirst!"
The watermelon just taken out of the spring tasted icy cold and was so sweet that it reached the heart. It instantly attracted the little stone in the distance. Of course, the little gray also ran over in a hurry because it knew the benefits of the watermelon.
"Mom, mom, I want to eat!"
Chu Xi, filled with joy, supported the little stone who rushed over, wiped the sweat from his forehead and the dust from his hands, and then handed him a piece of sandy watermelon with a red heart and black skin. Of course, Xiao Hui also got a piece.
After wolfing down their meal, the two little ones went back to playing, while Chu Xi took out a medical book and started reading, occasionally looking at the small stone not far away. For a moment, the whole yard was unusually harmonious.
In the blink of an eye, it had been more than two years since she arrived in the 1970s. The tense nerves she had during the apocalypse had long been banished to the clouds by the overly comfortable life she now led. Although she often reminded herself that she was not as relaxed as when she first arrived here, it seemed that there was really no one who could threaten her...
Maybe I can try to experience my previous dream of going to college. I remember that during the two years when I was in elementary school, I often fantasized about what I could do when I grew up and what kind of person I wanted to be. My answer always seemed to be to be a doctor who saves lives!
As he thought about it, Chu Xi looked at the medical book in his hand again. Perhaps he should review his high school knowledge. According to the trajectory of history, the college entrance examination might be resumed next year...
