Chapter 315: Extremely Hot. Lao Chu's Video Call
The next day, Li Qing began to arrange for the factory staff to move to the Xiangshan basement. A total of 40 people stayed, including Su Ye who was in the base hospital. 23 people went to the base, and the remaining 3 found their own way back to the base, and Li Qing did not stop them, including a cook.
The cook found her long-lost child, but Li Qing didn't ask how the other two got back. Since their fate was over, they should just do what they wanted and not end up with no one happy.
Chu An was very surprised to hear this news. If he didn't want to follow Li Qing, why didn't he choose Asong? Gu Ye held his chin up and said with interest that maybe he didn't expect to live in the basement.
???
Damn it, no matter how many people begged her, she wouldn't give it to them. However, the basement would indeed be a bit humid. It was 66 degrees outside, so it would be stuffy inside. So she asked Li Qing to bring a fan, and she also prepared a lot of lime, which she collected from the triangle building.
According to her calculations, the basement is on the mountain and has water inside. The hottest temperature during the day is only 31.2 degrees, and it will be very comfortable at night, at 24.5 degrees. If you turn on the fan, it won't be unbearable, at least it's better than the factory, and you can sleep at night.
After solving Li Qing's problem, she sat listlessly at the dining table at noon, thinking hard about why Lao Chu didn't log into his mobile phone, when he could see her message, and when he could call her.
"Eat your meal first and eat more vegetables." Gu Ye urged.
Chu An nodded mechanically, finished her meal mechanically, then changed her clothes and prepared to go find Dabao to check the location. Just before she went out, her cell phone beeped, and someone added her as a friend in the communication forum.
She immediately felt something strange and stopped in her tracks. When she opened the door, it was indeed Lao Chu. At the same time, a trace of resentment emerged in her heart. Why didn't he call her?
Add it first.
The friend request was approved, and the other party immediately sent a video call request.
Her palms were sweaty, and the big phone she was holding was a little slippery, so she had to hold it with both hands. The person she had been looking for for a year and a half just appeared in front of her, which always felt a little unreal.
Gu Ye looked at her frozen for a long time, then walked over and asked what was wrong.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw the video waiting to be connected screen on the phone, and when it rang for the second time, he hurriedly clicked it for her.
The picture froze for a moment, and then a big hand appeared and the picture shook, adjusting the position of the mobile phone camera.
"Hello...can you hear me? Xiao An."
As Lao Chu's voice sounded, the picture remained stable, and a vigorous man with slightly curly hair appeared in the picture.
His bangs are still that long. Chu An always reminded him to cut them shorter. Won’t it block his eyes from seeing the road?
Lao Chu doesn't care, he thinks it makes people look mysterious and sexy.
"Xiao An...what's wrong with you?" Lao Chu gestured with his hands in front of the screen. "I'm not video chatting with a fake person, am I? Hey, my boyfriend next to you, what have you done to my Xiao An? Speak up, or I'll throw my slippers over the phone line."
Gu Ye had only shown his hand when he clicked the screen just now, but now he has stood out of the screen. Upon hearing what Lao Chu said, his face turned pale and he took three steps back in fear.
Chu An burst out laughing, "What nonsense."
Lao Chu adjusted his position and scratched his bangs, "Hey, hey...if you have anything to say, just say it. Dad is listening."
She had a lot to ask, but after seeing the lively person, she didn't want to ask anymore. She took a deep breath and asked the most urgent question, "Where are you now? I want to meet up with you."
Lao Chu frowned slightly, "I'm also going to go back to City C to find you, but the weather is too abnormal now. It's already 60 degrees Celsius here, and it's too dangerous to drive outdoors. I saw a post online saying that such high temperatures will only appear for 15-20 days. You just wait for me in City C, and I'll go back when the high temperature is over."
Chu An knew that the road was dangerous, and Old Chu didn't want to let her go, but she was no longer the Chu An she used to be. If she wasn't afraid that the satellite phone would be monitored by the developer, she would definitely tell him about her current abilities.
"Then tell me where you are so I can have an idea."
Lao Chu hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "I'm at the Los Angeles base. Everything is fine here. Don't worry about me. What I'm most worried about now is you... How are you doing over there? You must have suffered a lot. You... Hey... Why are you getting fatter and whiter?"
Lao Chu's voice rose twice, "Is it because of the filter on my phone? My daughter looks better and better in the photos she takes."
Chu An sneered, "Even if you turn on the filter, you will become more beautiful."
As he spoke, he touched the screen with his hand. Although Lao Chu tried his best to appear calm and composed, and everything was fine, his eyes became haggard, there was a scar on his chin, and his right hand, which was his drawing hand, was moving slowly.
But think about it, in the face of natural disasters and the end of the world, who can remain intact?
"Hahaha, your dad is handsome." Lao Chu's hearty laughter came from the other side of the phone.
"You are the most handsome, so why don't you call me?" Chu An asked the question that had been hidden in his heart, "Why don't you contact me? Don't you know that I will be worried?"
After saying that, the hand holding the phone continued to tighten, and her shoulders trembled slightly. Why did she have to endure so much alone?
Didn't you say you would take care of me until I turned 18 and then abandon me?
Didn't you say you wanted to drink your future son-in-law under the table?
Didn’t you say you wanted to teach your grandson to paint?
How can these promises be fulfilled if there is no contact?
But she didn't ask the latter questions.
She licked her dry lips with her tongue, and tried to open her eyes wide to hold back the tears. Before she met Lao Chu, anything could happen, and these words should not be the main purpose of this call.
"Okay, I'll make a note of this and settle it with you when we meet. Do you know anyone else in Los Angeles? Give me a few more contact information and the general affairs office phone number of the Los Angeles base. Send them to me in a private message later."
Lao Chu may have sensed her emotions, he pursed his lips and nodded heavily, "Okay, all for you. Where do you live now?"
"I have been in City C."
Chu An didn't mention the matter of going to look for him. After the two of them calmed down, they began to talk about what happened after the natural disaster.
Lao Chu said that he moved to Luocheng with the Situ family, and he had the Situ family's blessing along the way, so he didn't have to suffer. There was a school in the Luocheng base, and he applied to be an art teacher.
I just got married with Situ Hanxin in Los Angeles not long ago, but there was no wedding ceremony. In the end times of natural disasters, formalities are not important.
"Situ Hanxin is my final destination, and we plan to have another child."
Lao Chu rubbed the screen of his phone with his hands, and said with red eyes, "When we meet in the future, you will have a younger brother. Well, that's it for today. I'll contact you when I have time. I still have to go to the base for class."
Chu An in the picture nodded in agreement. He couldn’t bear to press the end button with trembling hands, but he had to press it.
