Chapter 766 You Have Someone Above You

What makes the eternal night different from other natural disasters is that it not only faces survival challenges, but also mental challenges. It is indeed too depressing to be in darkness all the time.

"We can't solve the problem of natural disasters, so we can only adjust our mindset and find some fun for ourselves."

Annan said, taking out the small gifts he had prepared for them: "These are for you. You can use them to pass the time when you are feeling down."

Chu Peipei took a look and saw all kinds of gadgets including poker cards, mahjong, flying chess, Monopoly, yo-yos, etc.

I couldn't help but laugh: "Nannan, why do you have so many fun things here?"

Annan also smiled: "Spiritual food is also considered material resources. I will keep everything I see."

She and Gu Zhiyu had a manor and could spend twelve hours in light every day, so this eternal night was not too unbearable for them.

But for others, these little gadgets to relax the mind are really needed.

A few people divided the things and agreed to transfer points to Annan as a reward.

Annan didn't bother to push the issue back and forth with them.

Chu Peipei sighed: "Fortunately, I have a class now. I am busy on weekdays, but finally I have something to do. It would be best if I could be a little more tired and fall asleep as soon as I get home. Then I don't have to think about or worry about anything."

At this point, he also reminded Long Cong'an:

"If it really is an eternal night, Shi Han and Xiao Bao will stay at home every day. You should pay more attention to their mental state."

Long Cong'an nodded, "I will. Shi Han has recently started teaching Xiao Bao to read. Whenever they help with homework, the mother and daughter quarrel. The older one thinks the younger one is stupid, and the younger one thinks the older one is fierce. Every day at home, it's like setting off firecrackers. They probably don't care about being scared or depressed."

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Long Cong'an looked at Annan gratefully and said, "I have to thank you for lending me a lot of textbooks and reading materials, which enabled my child to study."

He knew that there were a lot of things in Gu Zhiyu's warehouse, but there were no elementary school textbooks. Those teaching materials and exercise books should all be from Annan.

He didn't know anything about the space, nor did he know that Annan liked to collect everything he saw into the space. In his opinion, since his benefactor collected so many children's things, he must be planning to have children.

These things must have been collected by her for her children.

Therefore, Long Cong'an was very grateful from the bottom of his heart and used it very carefully, for fear that it would be damaged by Long Xiaobao and Mr. Gu and his benefactor's children would have no use for it in the future.

Annan naturally had no idea what he was thinking, so he waved his hands casually and said:

"You're welcome. I have a lot of books here, so just let Xiaobao study hard."

As he said this, he glanced at Chu Peipei and Zhao Pingan and said, "If you also need things related to children, I have them here as well."

Chu Peipei didn't react: "Ah? We don't have any children."

Annan winked at her. "It's the kind that prevents you from getting pregnant."

Chu Peipei: ...

Where is the shy girl when she first fell in love? ? Why is she so wild now!!

A few of them laughed and chatted about this and that for a while before going home.

The next morning.

The sky was still pitch black.

Annan sighed out the window: "The eternal night has really come."

She had never experienced a natural disaster like this before, and she didn't know how long it would take to end.

From today on, everything is unknown.

Gu Zhiyu put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't worry. No matter what happens in the future, we will always be in this together."

No matter how difficult the moment is, both of them can discuss and share the burden together.

Annan touched the breast milk necklace around her neck and nodded slightly.

Now that the eternal night has come, Ma Qiangzhuang needs to be given detailed instructions.

After breakfast, the two of them went to find Ma Qiangzhuang and made some suggestions for improving the security work in the villa area. At the same time, they transferred two more people to the side gate for duty.

Like the two soldiers at the side door, they took turns standing guard. In addition to the basic salary, they were also given a "safe and sound" bonus.

However, these two people must obey the orders of the two gatekeepers and are not allowed to act on their own while on duty.

Seeing that the salary was high, Ma Qiangzhuang directly selected two of his most capable confidants.

There was one person Annan still knew, Qian Liang, who had previously sold her a mink coat and snow tracks.

Although Annan didn't know the other person, as soon as he saw Qian Liang, he knew that Ma had transferred the people he trusted most to her.

So before leaving, I reminded him to stock up on some lighting supplies.

"Brother Ma, please be careful. I don't know how long this sky will be dark."

Ma Qiangzhuang laughed and said, "Don't worry, sister. My people went to buy them yesterday afternoon."

After a pause, he thanked her again, "Thanks to you for persuading me to keep the wood. Now I have more torches for lighting."

When the weather returned to normal, Ma Qiangzhuang thought that he would no longer have to burn fires for heating for a long time, so he wanted to sell some of the large amount of wood he had stockpiled.

Fortunately, Annan said at that time: After all, we have found it with great difficulty, so why rush to join others to sell it? It is better to wait and see what the next natural disaster is and then deal with it.

He listened to the advice the most and was no longer in a hurry to sell.

Judging from the current situation, the price of wood will definitely remain high in the future. If he had been in a hurry to sell it at a low price, he would have suffered a great loss!

Without wood, the brothers had no campfire to use when they wanted to hold a meeting.

Annan smiled and waved his hands: "I just said that casually."

Ma Qiangzhuang immediately said: "That's not just a casual remark! Sister, you knew this day would come, right?"

Annan was stunned.

Before she could say anything, Ma Qiangzhuang leaned forward mysteriously and whispered:

"I know everything, girl, you have someone above you."

Annan: ...

ah??

"You two are not ordinary people, as you were able to get this piece of land. And, I heard that your friend works in the government's scientific research department, right?"

"I was wondering why the authorities suddenly installed street lights! It seems they had predicted this would happen."

"Official news, of course, can't be hidden from you, sister..."

Seeing his expression that said "You have a background, you have someone above you", Annan twitched his lips without explaining anything further.

Seeing this, Ma Qiangzhuang thought she had acquiesced, and immediately bowed and said:

"Thank you for reminding me about the wood! If there are any official rumors in the future, please let me know. Ma Qiangzhuang and his brothers will be very grateful!"

Annan laughed dryly: "No problem. No problem."

After leaving Ma Qiangzhuang and settling the additional guards, Annan and Gu Zhiyu took flashlights and patrolled outside the villa area.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly blocked my way: "Ayu, Nannan, what a coincidence!"

Annan frowned and looked over.

Who is that? Why is he yelling so disgustingly?
