"Qingqing, what are you eating? It tastes so weird." Qiao Ruoran covered her nose and walked down sleepily.
"Douzhi." Lin Qingqing sighed with satisfaction. It tasted like old Beijing.
"It stinks." Qiao Ruoran approached, covering her nose in disgust. Lin Qingqing also glanced at her with disgust, "I'm not giving it to you, so you can't have breakfast today. Go wash your face and brush your teeth first, we have to go to the hospital later."
Qiao Ruoran pouted and went to the bathroom angrily.
Lin Qingqing reacted and put down the bowl. Hey, it was all because of the soy milk. She didn't even wash her face or brush her teeth.
"Isn't it tasty?" Old Tan saw Lin Qingqing took only one sip, then became dazed and put the bowl down, and couldn't help but doubt his own cooking skills.
"No, it's delicious." Lin Qingqing picked up the bowl again. Now there is still water to wash, but in a few years, when drinking water becomes a problem, how can she be so particular?
No, if many of the major events in her memory were true, then a severe drought would occur, and she couldn't do nothing.
She can watch one person die and remain indifferent, or watch a group of people die and observe three seconds of silence, but this concerns tens of millions of survivors around the world.
At this time, all the people who helped with cleaning and moving bricks yesterday came, and there were a few more people.
Although they were not invited to dinner last night, each of them received a crystal core.
One crystal core can buy two steamed buns or a bowl of noodles at the street corner.
In addition, Lin Qingqing had given each person a steamed bun before, so the salary was already quite high.
When Liu Qiang saw them coming, he started to arrange work for them, but he didn't want the newcomers because there was no need.
"Brother, please be kind! My husband is strong and can do the work of two people. I have elderly people and children at home!" One of the women pleaded with Liu Qiang with a bitter face.
"Then your husband stays, and you go!" Liu Qiang said bluntly. When he was managing the small camp, some survivors came to join him, but he didn't want to take in too many people, so he had to turn them away.
"Brother, how can you say that? I did so much work yesterday..." The woman was stunned. She was thinking that her husband was strong and could get more wages if he came.
Liu Qiang ignored her and only said to the others, "We are going out of town to look for bricks today. If you are afraid of danger, leave now."
"Tsk! If I want to leave the city, why would I come to work for you? Let's go, cousin." Someone immediately backed down.
When the woman's husband heard that he was going out of town, he turned around and left, not even caring about his wife.
They stayed in the base because they were afraid of danger. They would rather eat less than go out and die.
"Then do we women have to leave the city as well?" The woman was a little unwilling. If she had known, she would have finished cleaning yesterday, so that she would have had things to do today.
The woman didn't even think that it was because they did a good job yesterday that Liu Qiang was willing to hire them to work again today.
In fact, with just this little bit of housework, only Lin Qingqing would be lazy, and he and Lao Tan could finish it when they had time.
"Go away." Liu Qiang looked particularly scary when he had a cold face. Qiao Ruoran, who came out after washing her face, seemed not to recognize him.
Qiao Ruoran had never seen Liu Qiang so tough. When he was managing the small camp, Qiao Ruoran was hidden in a space by Qiao Mingyang.
At that time, the small camp was just being built, Lin Qingqing was in bed, and Old Tan's life or death was uncertain. If Liu Qiang had been a little soft-hearted, he would not have been able to control the situation.
"Ranran, go change your clothes." Lin Qingqing wiped her mouth, patted the dazed Qiao Ruoran, and went to wash up.
When Lin Qingqing finished washing her face and changing her clothes, the person at the door had already been sent away by Liu Qiang.
Of the five people yesterday, only one man and one woman were willing to go out of the city to pick up bricks.
Lin Qingqing rolled her eyes and waved towards Li Zi upstairs.
Li Zi hurried downstairs.
"After dinner, take them around the base and pick up any ironwork you see."
Lin Qingqing handed her a small bag and said, "Buy two tricycles. You can keep the remaining crystal cores for now. You can ask where to buy bricks and buy some."
There was really no need to leave the base. Liu Qiang just wanted to send those people away.
"Yes." Li Zi nodded decisively. She took the small bag without asking Fang Jieke what to do.
Fang Jieke ran downstairs, "Sister Lizi, I'll go with you. Is that okay, big sister?"
The second half of his sentence was to ask Lin Qingqing. Seeing that he seemed to have only superficial injuries, Lin Qingqing said seriously,
"Yes, but your wages will be cut in half."
"Haha, the wages are okay." Fang Jieke jumped up happily. He had already eaten three steamed buns here, so if he could help out, he would owe less.
"I'll go too!" The teammate named Huang, who had little presence and was often ignored, unexpectedly took the lead.
Lin Qingqing was a little surprised, but did not refuse. With a person with special abilities around, this small brick-moving team would be safer.
She went to the kitchen and took out some rice, flour, grain, oil, and kitchen utensils.
She felt like she was going to have a headache with so many people eating and drinking. Liu Qiang and Lao Tan couldn't stay in the kitchen all the time, so Lin Qingqing thought to herself that if Li Zi was still okay, she would let him stay and help.
Qiao Ruoran was going to have a heart surgery, which was very risky, so Lin Qingqing asked the system to release Qiao Mingyang.
"You came just in time. Ranran is going to have surgery this morning."
Lin Qingqing pretended not to know that Qiao Mingyang was restricted by the system. After Qiao Mingyang appeared, she said something to him lightly.
Qiao Mingyang had been locked up in the space for a night, and when he emerged, his face was as pale as a pot. Hearing Lin Qingqing say this, he immediately became nervous and blurted out, "Are you sure?"
"Not sure! Do you want to kill someone again?" Lin Qingqing was so angry that her eyebrows raised. Isn't this question too funny?
Who dares to say that the surgery is 100% successful!
But the problem is that Qiao Ruoran's illness is like a landmine buried in the ground, which might explode at any time if touched lightly.
"Ah... no, that's not what I meant. I didn't want to kill anyone..." Qiao Mingyang shook his head quickly. He wanted to explain, but he was at a loss for words, and his face turned purple.
He knew very well about his sister's health, but he was still afraid of losing her, especially since Ranran looked fine. What if the operation failed and she died on the spot?
Qiao Mingyang really didn't dare to think further, for fear that he would go crazy.
Qiao Ruoran had a wooden expression on her face as if she was going to be executed because she was going to have surgery. Seeing Qingqing was angry and her brother was scolded, she comforted them again.
"Brother, I'm fine, don't worry... Qingqing, I'm not afraid of surgery..." She has been going to the hospital frequently since she was a child. She is not really afraid, but she is tired of the feeling that she may not be able to come out every time she goes in.
Especially the sympathetic looks from the doctors, nurses, and even fellow patients. They always lamented that they would not live long, and discussed her behind her back, using her as a topic of conversation.
"Ranran, don't worry, brother won't let anything happen to you." Qiao Mingyang assured Qiao Ruoran with a fierce look on his face.
"Brother~" Qiao Ruoran said firmly to Qiao Mingyang, "Don't worry, I will be fine."
"Okay, let's go!" Lin Qingqing was tired and turned around and walked towards the hospital.
She felt that after Qiao Ruoran's matter was settled, she should keep her distance from the brother and sister.
Otherwise, she would have lived many years less.
Before the apocalypse, even a surgery like this would require waiting in line for days. This time, I was lucky to have gotten through Dean Lin's backdoor. Otherwise, with the current tight medical environment, I wouldn't have been able to get surgery whenever I wanted.
