After Qiao Qingqing went out to the warehouse to continue receiving the goods for the day, Shao Shengan also went out after his mother-in-law came over. The gasoline had not arrived yet, and he still had to serve Brother Wang and his gang of uncles.
"Mom, my parents and eldest brother will be here around noon. I plan to tell them that there is a water leak at home that is being repaired, and then send them directly to the hotel where you are staying. Is that okay with you?" Shao Shengan said this to Qiao Songzhi before leaving.
"That's the best. The place I live in is pretty good. But how are you going to tell your parents? You and Qingqing lied to them and said you were sick."
Shao Shengan smiled bitterly: "It's okay, my parents are easy to deceive. I plan to lie to them and say that my physical examination report is not good, and it will take half a month to get further test results. They will definitely stay in Huacheng until they are sure that I am fine. Mom, my parents are always not used to coming to the city, please help take care of me."
Qiao Songzhi had no objection: "Don't worry! You guys go and do your work during the day, I will visit them at the hotel often."
While waiting for Wang Ge and the others to sober up, Shao Shengan consulted a high school classmate named Zheng, who was a gynecologist. After listening to his question, he explained to him the pros and cons of female tubal ligation. When he heard that it would take more than a week to recover after making a three or four centimeter incision in the abdominal cavity, he frowned. Shao Shengan was extremely glad that Qingqing had told him about the ligation in advance, otherwise it would be a pain.
"What about male sterilization?"
"Male sterilization is a minor operation, and you don't even need an operation. Just make a small incision in the penis, about 0.5 cm. The operation takes less than half an hour, and you can recover completely in three days at most. There are more benefits than this. If you want to restore the cannulation in the future, it is also easier than for women. Who are you asking this for? You are not asking for yourself, are you? I remember that your classmates said in the group chat that you have been married for several years but still have no children, haha."
What the old classmate said was similar to the information Shao Shengan had looked up. Shao Shengan thanked him and asked, "Does this surgery require an appointment, or can I just go and do it?"
"Just go directly to the urology department or reproductive andrology department. Do you want to come to our hospital? I can help you find a great doctor."
"Okay, thank you for your help. I'll be there in half a month and I'll treat you to a meal then."
"No way, I'm kidding. You really want to get sterilized. You don't want to be a DINK, do you? What does your wife think?"
Shao Shengan smiled: "Yeah, I suddenly changed my mind. Qingqing and I have discussed this. Don't tell anyone about this, or I won't treat you to dinner."
"I know, I know. Am I just telling people about this because I have nothing better to do? But you have to think about it carefully. This is not a trivial matter. You two are handsome and beautiful, so the baby you have will definitely be good-looking. Are you really not going to have a baby?"
"I've thought about it, let's do it this way! See you then, and I'll treat you to a meal when I'm done."
Shao Shengan didn't tell Qiao Qingqing about this for the time being, but he felt much more relaxed after the appointment. He thought that what Qingqing needed most now was not a psychologist, but his support, and he was willing to give his wife a sense of security.
At noon, when Wang Ge and his friends woke up, he arranged a meal for them and served them well. In the afternoon, he rushed to pick up his parents and sent them to the hotel as planned.
Qiao Qingqing was receiving goods in the warehouse, and she didn't know her husband had made such a decision. She was very busy today, filling water tanks, and vegetables and fruits were delivered. She had to check and pay the balance. This busyness lasted until the afternoon, when her good friend Yuan Xiaowen called and asked, "Have your water pipes been repaired?"
"It's fixed, but it's being renovated these past two days. What about you? Have you bought everything for the wedding?"
"I've almost finished buying it! By the way, isn't your house an old one? You simply renovated it when you got married. You can just decorate the new house after you buy it. Why do you still need to renovate this one?"
Qiao Qingqing smiled and said, "I heard that there are a lot of thieves in our area recently, so we installed new anti-theft doors and windows. Xiaowen, let's meet in the evening at the hot pot restaurant you like. Can you eat hot pot?"
Zheng Xiaowen was very happy: "Of course! Pregnancy is not a disease, so I don't have to avoid food! Well, but let's eat the shabu-shabu pot. I'll eat less spicy food."
"good."
"Then I'll go call Mengmeng."
"Don't call her, it's just the two of us."
After hanging up the phone, she was stunned for a while.
She has two good friends, Yuan Xiaowen and Zheng Meng. The three of them grew up together and attended the same school from elementary school to high school. It is most appropriate to say that they are childhood sweethearts.
Three years before the end of the world, there was a flood first and then a low temperature. The country worked hard to maintain social order and provided a lot of support. During the extremely cold days below zero, the country often dropped supplies and tried its best to maintain order. At that time, she was relatively safe living alone at home, until the temperature suddenly rose and the ice melted, causing a second serious flood. This time, things really got chaotic, and the shaky order completely collapsed.
It is not surprising that a woman living alone, occupying a spacious high-rise, is coveted. Qiao Qingqing worked hard to reinforce the doors and windows to minimize her presence. For safety, she went out to get supplies when the soldiers dropped them off. She also wore her husband's clothes and shoes, padded her height, and used makeup to make her face look neutral... She tried so hard that she dared not sleep soundly at night, always holding a kitchen knife in her hand, but in the end she still couldn't protect this home in the face of absolute force.
Before dawn that morning, her balcony was smashed open, and the barrier behind the door was pushed open. A group of men came in, with fierce eyes, with the madness and fearlessness of doomsday maniacs breaking free from constraints and rules. They immediately searched her house for supplies. Where are the supplies? In the third year of the apocalypse, she relied on herself to dig ice to find supplies, and survived on national food support. She saved a few dry buns at most by tightening her belt, and she also treasured them in the space. But what those people wanted most was the house, and the supplies were just extras. They were not completely crazy, and they just drove her away.
"You're not leaving? Then you'll have to serve us brothers from now on."
Qiao Qingqing felt horrified, desperate and angry at the time. She had no choice but to pack a bag under their eyes, take her ID, some clothes and a kitchen knife and leave.
At the beginning, she didn't wander far away. Grandma Wang from 701 downstairs took her in. Grandma Wang's family and relatives totaled 18 people, which was an important reason why their house could still hold on even though it was actually the first floor. Qiao Qingqing lived alone for three years and was actually helped by their family. But this time, Grandma Wang's family didn't dare to step forward. After all, the people who came this time were too fierce. Some petty thieves could be driven away by shouting, but these people came with sticks and knives. Now there was no help, so who would dare to confront them head-on?
The high temperature continued, the ice melted completely, and the flood lasted for a long time. Qiao Qingqing was an outsider in Grandma Wang's house. Their family had a large population and of course they consumed a lot. They certainly didn't look kindly at Qiao Qingqing, an outsider who was distributing thin supplies. Fortunately, the flood had a tendency to recede. Qiao Qingqing shamelessly waited until the flood receded to the first floor and was only one meter deep before leaving. Grandma Wang stuffed her with half a potato cake that she had secretly saved. She took the half potato cake and left, planning to go to her ex-mother Qiao Songzhi's hometown to look for her relatives who had been missing for more than two years.
Before leaving, she looked everywhere for supplies that could still be used. When the flood receded, she brought with her countless debris. Various supplies that had been frozen in the ice for more than two years floated up. Some were usable and some were not. They needed to be carefully selected. Although the water was dirty and full of bacteria, she had no other choice at that time. At that time, she met an unexpected person, Du Jie, the husband of her good friend Zheng Meng. Du Jie had a good chat with the person who robbed her house. It seemed that they had a good relationship. When they were having a good chat, Du Jie said, "Cousin, my Meng Meng is right. Although the houses here are old, they are of good quality. They will not be damaged by floods!"
Just that one sentence made Qiao Qingqing feel like she was struck by lightning.
"By the way, that woman didn't leave. She has been living downstairs for the past month."
"No way, cousin, Qiao Qingqing is a great beauty, are you willing to let her go?"
"Go away, I'm not really a bad person. If my house hadn't been frozen and collapsed once the ice melted, I wouldn't have done such a wicked thing!"
"Haha cousin, don't give it to me. Do you know where she is now?"
"It's already this late and you're still playing with Huahua. Are you going to die? Look, she's over there. It looks like she's leaving. She's been looking for something these past two days. What good can the things in the flood do? They've all been soaked and ruined..."
Before Du Jie looked over, Qiao Qingqing ran away.
Thinking back, Qiao Qingqing sighed. She couldn't keep a normal heart towards her best friend Zheng Meng. She wouldn't accuse Zheng Meng of harming her based on the conversation between Zheng Meng's husband and others that she had heard in her previous life, but their friendship was just like that. Anyway, she and Zheng Meng hadn't met again after the end of the world in her previous life. The last time they met was when she accompanied Yuan Xiaowen to buy wedding supplies. She didn't go this time, so there was no need to see each other again.
