Fang Yunyun waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, what are you thinking? Of course we can't have a child now, I'm not crazy!"
She sighed and explained, "One of the reasons I agreed to get the marriage certificate with Su Yao was because I wanted to be a mother, but a couple of days ago Su Yao discussed with me that he wanted to get a tubal ligation to prevent any accidents."
Banxia was somewhat surprised. She could only say that he was indeed Nanxing's good brother, and the two of them had exactly the same thoughts.
Fang Yunyun chuckled: "Right? You're a little incredulous too, aren't you? I've acted in disaster movies, so I know how dangerous it is to give birth under these circumstances. I can understand his panic, but I still really want a child of my own."
Her mother died young from illness, and her father remarried early and soon had a son. She was like a ghost in that family, with no sense of presence whatsoever.
She knew Su Yao loved her very, very much, but perhaps she was a naturally pessimistic person, always afraid that one day his love would be gone, and she would be all alone again. Having a child, however, was like having something to hold onto in this world.
Banxia stopped picking up the bread, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Didn't our physical abilities become stronger after the black fog? Perhaps one day humans will really evolve superpowers, and tubal ligation can be reversed with a simple gesture by a superpowered person?"
Fang Yunyun reached out and pinched her cheek: "Why are you also acting like Su Yao, having a fit of chuunibyou? Superpowers, huh? Why don't you say you're going to transform into superheroes to save the world?" She suddenly looked surprised, "Your face is so soft, what skincare products do you use? Recommend some to your older sister."
Banxia was speechless. Weren't you just worried about the kids? How did the topic suddenly shift to skincare?
“I don’t know,” she thought back to the bottles and jars on the dressing table, which didn’t seem to have any brand logos. “Nanxing bought them. They must have been specially made. I’ll ask him later and then I’ll tell you.”
"Tsk," Fang Yunyun casually picked up a jar of blueberry jam and tossed it into the shopping cart. "You and Nanxing are childhood sweethearts, so sweet from childhood to adulthood. When I first met Nanxing, he was only fifteen or sixteen. He would call me every night after filming, and I even teased him about whether he was in a relationship. He told me he was contacting his sister. I thought back then that he must like the girl on the other end of the phone, otherwise, what teenage boy would have the patience to call his sister every day?"
She smiled and continued, "Sure enough, he confessed his feelings to you as soon as you turned 18. I also heard that he had an unshakeable contract when he was filming that he would not film kissing scenes or intimate scenes. There was an actress who brought her own investment to the production and insisted on filming a kissing scene with him. He almost asked the director to terminate the contract."
Banxia's face flushed slightly. She knew about this incident; the actress later hired a lot of online trolls to say that Nanxing was being arrogant.
"Holy crap!" Fang Yunyun suddenly exclaimed, "Meat is so expensive?!"
Banxia glanced up and saw that pork was 299.98 yuan per 500g, chicken was 329.9 yuan per 500g, and beef was 539.9 yuan per 500g... These prices seem to be more than ten or twenty times higher than before, right? Can ordinary people really afford them?
She then looked at the nearby seafood: prawns 399.99 yuan/500g, cuttlefish 299.98 yuan/500g, yellow croaker 698.9 yuan/500g... It seems that seafood prices have increased at least tenfold!
No wonder there are so few people here!
No wonder there are no purchase limits on meat and seafood!
"Don't be fooled by the high price; we're actually not making any profit at all." The butcher, having probably heard similar complaints many times before, looked helpless. "This year's unprecedented low temperatures have killed almost all the animals in the farms. The purchasing department spent a lot of money to bring in live animals from the north, and they were only slaughtered this morning!"
In other words, the people of Miaomiao Mountain are generally not short of money; otherwise, who would dare to sell fresh meat at a time like this?!
Banxia took a closer look at the pork in the freezer. The lean meat was light red, and the fat was white and delicate, as if it had just been slaughtered that day.
I randomly picked five whole chickens, ten pounds of beef, and ten pounds of pork.
While the salesperson was weighing the items, I went next door and selected five pounds of shrimp and six yellow croakers.
Seeing her buy meat, Fang Yunyun quickly followed suit, her heart pounding with pain as she did so.
I kept comforting myself: Forget it, why have any more children? At this rate, I won't even be able to afford to raise them!
She swore that this was the most expensive piece of meat she had ever bought!
However, in the near future, she will regret not driving a truck to buy meat!
Because at that time, the price of frozen meat had soared to four figures, and as for fresh meat, sorry, there was none!
As they passed the skincare section, the two glanced at the products: Vaseline face cream 399 yuan/50g, urea body lotion 699 yuan/1L, moisturizing hand cream 299 yuan/30g, frostbite cream 998 yuan/50g...
Luckily, we have plenty of skincare products at home!
The two then pushed the cart to the vegetable section: Chinese cabbage 79.9 yuan/500g, radish 39.98 yuan/500g, green pepper 99.9 yuan/500g, potato 59.8 yuan/500g, spinach 159 yuan/500g...
Banxia felt a pang of heartache. She and Nanxing only had a little over a million yuan left, which they thought would last until the extreme cold ended. But judging from the current prices, they estimated that the money would be gone before the extreme cold was even halfway over.
Moreover, she had a bad feeling that prices would definitely rise further, and rise to an extremely exaggerated level!
Thinking this way, I hurriedly started shopping, and even regretted not spending all my money before the apocalypse.
But she also knew that she had to set aside some money to buy supplies in the early days of the apocalypse, otherwise it would definitely arouse suspicion!
