"We've talked, and we've gotten things done."
"Have these knives been sharpened?"
“I’ve already talked to Brother Wu. He’ll find a master to secretly sharpen all of them for me. I know what you’re trying to say. Don’t worry, I can trust Brother Wu.”
"Is Angkor the centipede you used to mention? Is it because your surname is Si that you are called Lion? And Angkor's surname is Wu that he is called Centipede?" Yunqi looked at him curiously.
"Yes, back then we would give each other nicknames and then choose the appropriate ones to call each other." Thinking of his days in the army, Si Cheng couldn't help but smile.
"You guys came up with these names so casually. And Big Bear and Monkey must have been named based on their size, right?" Yun Qi couldn't help but complain, thinking about the physiques of Brother Bear and Monkey.
"Their physiques were so distinctive back then. Since they retired, they've all been scattered all over the country, making it really difficult to meet up."
"By the way, you had Angkor Wat sharpen the knives in large batches. Will that have any effect on him?" Yunqi asked with some concern.
“It’s alright. We used a secret code, and there’s a lot of room for maneuver, so it won’t attract attention. But Brother Wu probably noticed something. He gave me a couple of glances, and I gave him a little hint, hoping he could also prepare some.”
"Keeping a secret is so painful, and I don't want to be so selfish, but I'm afraid no one will believe me even if I tell them," Yun Qi said irritably, scratching his hair with both hands.
“We don’t need to tell them; the relevant departments should already know. I’ve found a lot of unusual things during this period.”
Yun Qi looked at Si Cheng nervously, "Be careful when you investigate, won't you get caught?"
"Don't worry." Si Cheng tapped her palm. "I deduced this from various sources while chatting with some comrades and classmates. Especially last week, I went to the port and learned from the statistician that since the beginning of this year, many things such as grain and heavy metals have been banned from export, and a large amount of food has been imported from abroad. We have also invested a lot in construction in the eastern and northwestern regions."
"If that's the case, that would be wonderful! This reborn person can get in touch with the higher-ups and even persuade them to make preparations. This is definitely the protagonist!" Yun Qi said excitedly, clasping his hands together.
"Judging from the actions of this reborn person, he must have lived in the apocalypse for a long time. Judging from the fact that he strengthened the infrastructure in several provinces, there should still be a few places where humans can live in the future. It seems that his hometown is also included in the scope," Si Cheng said, expressing his speculation.
"If that's the case, that would be wonderful. In my past life, I almost made it home, just a tiny bit more..." She finished speaking and covered her face, then cried.
Si Cheng pulled the car over to the side of the road, unbuckled his seatbelt, reached out and gently pulled Yun Qi into his arms, patted her back, and comforted her, "God has given us a second chance, and we've made ample preparations. We can definitely survive in the apocalypse as a family. Do you think we should put our house in Q City up for sale in advance?" Si Cheng quickly changed the subject.
"Why would you think of bringing it up earlier? Didn't we agree on the end of the year? Besides, if it's listed and someone comes to buy it quickly, you'll have to rent another place then." Sure enough, he immediately changed the subject.
"Judging from all indications, the government will definitely notify the public to evacuate in advance, and then it will be difficult to take action," Si Cheng analyzed to her.
"Why don't we take a look first? If someone else buys our house and then we don't have the money to settle down in a safe base, wouldn't that be harming them?"
“Our Qi Bao is still as kind as ever. We’ll see how things go. If we run into those real estate speculation teams, we’ll sell. If not, then we won’t sell. I’ve recently invested all my funds in a new overseas stock, and we can sell it at the end of the month. That way, our funds will multiply several times over.” Si Cheng calculated a number on his phone and showed it to Yun Qi.
Yunqi looked at the long string of numbers and excitedly counted how many digits there were. When she counted to the ninth digit, she shouted excitedly, "We're rich! Honey, we're rich!"
"Wife, we're rich! You can live a life where you can buy whatever you want now." Si Cheng said with emotion, thinking of the wish Yunqi made in her past life.
"You still remember?"
“I remember every word my wife said. You also said you wanted to travel around the world and eat all kinds of delicious food. I’ll try my best to make that wish come true for you next year.”
"Honey, you're so good to me," Yunqi said, leaning on Sicheng's shoulder.
"Why don't you quit your job? That way we won't have to be a couple on weekends anymore." She tried to persuade Yunqi again, hoping to improve their future happiness.
"I'll submit my resignation letter after I finish this month. Actually, I'm really reluctant to leave. It's rare to find such easy-going and harmonious colleagues." After thinking for a while, Yunqi agreed to resign.
Si Cheng mentally made a victory sign. Finally, he could hold his wife every night and sleep without having to wait so many days to see her.
"Brother Cheng, are you still in contact with your father?"
"No, he called me a few days before the wedding," Si Cheng thought, wishing he hadn't called at all. He didn't even know how to tell Yun Qi what had happened. When Yun Qi answered, Si Cheng said, "Ah Cheng, I heard you're getting married. We don't have time to go back, and I'm sure you don't want to see me. I already bought you a house when you were in college, so I won't contribute anything more for your wedding. As for your retirement, you won't need to contribute anything either. Our current assets will all be left to your younger siblings. Do you understand what I mean?" Si Cheng was silent for a moment, then hung up. He never answered his father's calls again. He didn't even know where to begin with his father.
After thinking for a moment, he relayed the contents of the phone call. Yunqi was very surprised; he never expected to have a father like that.
"It's okay, you still have us. My parents are your parents too. We will definitely be very happy," Yunqi comforted softly. "Then why don't you make a call and give them a hint?"
"I'll stop contacting them in the future. Just pretend I don't have a father. When he gets old, if he still needs me to take care of him, I will do my part. If I call them, I'm afraid they'll misunderstand and think I have ulterior motives, so I'd better not cause them any trouble."
"Didn't I hear they immigrated abroad?"
"He just got a green card over there. Most of his business is still here. I heard only the two kids are studying there, while the other two are in China. Never mind them, honey, are you hungry? Your stomach is about to burst."
"Poor husband, drive, your wife is going to treat you to a big meal."
