Shen Zehuai wished that he had not gone to the auction to join in the fun, otherwise he would not be in such a dilemma now.
Bai Qianqian saw Chen Zehuai sitting in front of the window in deep thought, bit her lower lip, and gently leaned over.
She hugged Shen Zehuai's arm and whispered softly in his ear: "Husband, it is said that there will be another auction on the 30th floor of the Tiantian Hotel. You didn't take me there last time. Can you take me there this time?"
Shen Zehuai now gets a headache when he hears the word "auction". He sighed and replied unhappily, "What are you talking about? You should stop running around when you are pregnant. The forest fire in Xindu Community has just stopped. I will ask the driver to take you home now."
Bai Qianqian was stunned when she heard this: "What about you, husband, won't you come back with me?"
Shen Zehuai pinched his brows without saying anything, picked up his phone and turned to go out.
Watching Shen Zehuai leaving, Bai Qianqian had tears in her eyes and felt extremely aggrieved. She was about to give birth in a month, but Shen Zehuai was becoming increasingly cold towards her.
According to the current situation, let alone the fantasy of "the canary becoming the queen" in her mind, Bai Qianqian even worried that she would be kicked out of the house as soon as the child was born.
Hormone fluctuations during pregnancy greatly affect the mood of pregnant women. Bai Qianqian tried to hold back, but in the end she couldn't help it and burst into tears...

The Xia family drove into the Xindu community from the back door. The mountains in the distance were still gray and the gray smoke had not completely dissipated.
Sun Yuegui kept looking at the villas near the side of the mountain. She saw that the walls and windows of the villas were blackened by smoke, and she could vaguely see someone cleaning inside.
"Oh, my house won't be like this too." Grandma said worriedly, "Look at the windows of these houses, the glass is all black, how can light still pass through? And the walls, they have all turned black, can they still be cleaned?"
Xia Huiyin comforted him by saying, "It's okay, Mom. This is all smoke. Just wipe the glass and it will be clean. As for the wall, we will do some exterior renovation later and make sure it is restored to be beautiful and bright."
Hearing this, grandma could only nod helplessly.
Xia Shige drove the car into the underground garage, and the family finally returned to their long-lost home.
As soon as he opened the door, he felt a heat wave coming, and Xia Shige quickly started the generator and turned on the air conditioner.
The rest of the Xia family ran to the storage room to get cleaning tools, and Xia Shige took the opportunity to quietly go to the backyard. The pond in the backyard was basically dry, but luckily they fished out all the fish and shrimp in the pond and gave them to Jingjing Chao before they left, otherwise the pond water would have become smelly.
Xia Shige transferred the water from the pond to the space farmland for irrigation, and diverted some water from the farmland stream to simply clean the pond. Finally, she quickly filled the pond.
After cleaning the pond, Xia Shige returned to the living room and found that the Xia family had returned from the basement with cleaning tools.
Xia Guocheng said: "I will clean the glass of the sun room first, and then re-lay the photovoltaic panels. The generator consumes too much oil, so solar energy is more energy-efficient."
The others nodded, and my aunt also said, "I just looked around the rooms. Fortunately, our doors and windows are sealed, so there is no smoke coming in. I will clean the glass in each room first."
Grandma, Grandma Liu, and Xia Huiyin were cleaning the yard. All the vegetables planted in the yard had died, and desert vines were crawling everywhere. In just two weeks, some vines even climbed up the wall to the windowsill.
Fortunately, several fruit trees in the backyard were still alive. Although they were dying, they were barely saved after being watered with some water from Taoyuan Creek.
Wearing rubber gloves, Xia Huiyin used a shovel to pull up the vines by the roots, while Grandma Liu turned out all the dead vegetables and packed them in bags.
Grandma fetched a bucket of water from the backyard, took a bag of seeds, and watered the ground while sowing the seeds again.
Xia Shige went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for everyone. He had cleaned out all the things stored in the refrigerator before leaving, so he couldn't cook for the time being.
Xia Shige simply found a few packets of wontons from the freezer, crab roe and shrimp, fresh meat and ham, shepherd's purse and pork, chicken legs and fresh mushrooms, mixed them together and cooked a few packets, then opened two packets of pickles and placed them on a plate.
The family worked in perfect harmony and everyone did their job. By noon, the villa had been cleaned and looked brand new.
Xia Guocheng also reinstalled the photovoltaic panels. Once enough electricity is stored tomorrow, he can shut down the diesel generator and replace it with photovoltaic power generation.
After being busy for half a day, the family went back to their rooms to wash up, and then sat comfortably at the dining table to prepare for lunch.
"Home is still the best. No matter how expensive a hotel is, it's not as comfortable as home." Grandma sighed.
Xia Huiyin also nodded and said, "Let's eat quickly. After dinner, I want to go to Chaoyang to take a look."
Xia Guocheng also nodded. It was said that the supermarket was giving out sand rattan cakes for free these days. There were a lot of people queuing up to get them every day, so they also had to work harder.
Xia Shige sent a text message to Tang Shiqi, informing her that she had returned. Tang Shiqi replied that the nanny was cleaning the villa today and she would be back tomorrow.
The family was cleaning up the dishes after eating and drinking when suddenly the doorbell of the villa rang.
Then there was the sound of a group of people walking into the yard.
Xia Guocheng stood up suddenly and said as he walked outside: "Oh no! I just wiped the outer wall and forgot to close the door tightly! Someone came in!"
