Hearing the familiar voice from her memory, Nanqu imitated the old man's tone and said, "Your father!"
Xiang Jielin frowned and walked over with an emergency light: "Dad? It's raining heavily, why did you come over? What if something happens?"
Nan Qu rolled her eyes: "I only came because of the heavy rain. If I hadn't come, I would have been crushed to death in the old house."
Looking at his father's disheveled appearance, Xiang Jielin was speechless: "Didn't we already build a new house? How could he have been killed by the old house? Besides, it's so cold outside, can't you stop being so frugal? Why don't you wear the clothes I bought for you?"
Nan Qu instantly understood. She looked at Xiang Jielin with a half-smile and said, "Your wife told you we're building a new house? With what? With the two hundred yuan each of you three brothers gives us a month?"
Xiang Jielin wasn't stupid; he instantly understood what his father meant.
Thinking of his wife, Xiang Jielin felt a little embarrassed: "Well, Yunyun went back to her parents' house and isn't home. Come in first, I'll find you some clothes to change into."
Nan Qu had no intention of investigating what her three sons had done, since they were all busy with their own affairs and she was being deceived by their wives. After all, the old man's current situation was his own choice.
He couldn't even bear to spend the 200 yuan they gave him, so it's his own business if they don't give him more.
Of course, it's also possible that the three daughters-in-law were just pleading poverty in front of the old man. Anyway, from the old man's memory, his three sons rarely came home after his wife died. The money was just delivered by the daughters-in-law and they left.
Each time they came, each family had their own complaints, and the old man just assumed that his sons were not doing well.
As for the houses for his three sons, the daughters-in-law all said they were part of their father-in-law's dowry. He was incompetent and didn't leave any inheritance for his sons. The only thing he could do was not disturb his sons' lives.
These are the old man's thoughts, and have nothing to do with Nanqu.
Her purpose in coming here was clear: she didn't want to waste time on these trivial household matters.
It has to be said that being an old person has its advantages. For example, right now, he only asked his son to take her to his laboratory. Even though his son looked blank, Nanqu only had to say a few words about how hard her life was before he agreed.
However, there are also downsides. For example, he has already gone to the toilet three times now.
Looking at the thing beneath him, Nan Qu's face was blank with a hint of helplessness. Frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. What's so good about being a man?
With a hint of disdain, Nan Qu helped him finish his personal business. In her heart, she thought that she needed to figure out what the virus was as soon as possible, and then leave this world without looking back!
"Dad, what did you just say? You want to learn about laboratory testing?"
Xiang Jielin thought he was hallucinating: "No, what's wrong with you?"
Nan Qu looked at Xiang Jielin seriously: "How long has it been since you went out?"
He asked Jielin, "Three days or four days? I forgot. What's wrong? What does this have to do with your studies in laboratory testing?"
Nan Qu said, "It's raining black rain outside right now, and this rainwater carries a very strong virus. Currently, more than half of the country's population has fallen into a deep sleep. In three days, the apocalypse will happen, and the streets will be full of zombies."
Xiang Jielin couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Dad, I didn't know you read novels. You're even reading apocalyptic novels now?"
Nan Qu looked at him speechlessly. She had noticed this as soon as she came in today. Xiang Jielin's house was equipped with high-tech equipment, especially the laboratory, which had new power generation equipment and complete water purification equipment.
This guy is used to staying in the lab all year round, so naturally he doesn't know what's going on outside.
"I'll study this for a bit first. You go outside and check the rain. By the way, you'd better not get wet now. Otherwise, you'll fall asleep too, and I don't want to smash my son's head in."
Xiang Jielin was speechless. He thought his father might be suffering from senile delusion.
If that's the case, then was the two hundred yuan a month that Dad mentioned before just something he imagined? Why is this old man making himself feel so miserable?
He decided to call his classmate and ask if there were any treatment options for elderly people like this.
However, when Xiang Jielin finally found his phone, he discovered it had no signal. When he went outside and found there was still no signal, Xiang Jielin felt something was strange.
