Qiao Qingqing left, and Lin Weini looked at her back, feeling confused.
After her mother passed away, Lin Weini's quality of life didn't change much. Even though her grandparents favored boys over girls, they only skimped on food. She didn't lack that much food! Her father was trusted and promoted by her uncle. She was still in the circle of young ladies. At most, she was worried about her marriage and had to worry about having a few backups. Until her uncle died in an accident, those damn vultures killed her uncle and destroyed the foundation of her good life.
My father's career began to be hindered, and he was sent to a position without power step by step. Now he is just an ordinary grassroots clerk. Without power and no room for advancement, my father came up with such a crooked idea, and even wanted to marry her to an old widower as his wife, just because that man was the boss of his immediate boss and could help him get promoted!
This was not the education Lin Weini received since childhood, and this was definitely not the life her mother planned for her!
Originally, she wanted to ask her aunt for help, but her cousins were still young. At the beginning of the year, her aunt remarried with her children. The person she remarried was one of her uncle's former confidants. Her aunt said that she was powerless and no one could help her. Lin Weini felt that she could not stay in this place anymore. She wanted to go to Chenling Base to join a former suitor. That person came here three years ago to deliver supplies and was still in love with her. But Lin Weini felt that he was just the son of a director and was useless. At that time, there were so many young talents in Xicheng Base. How could she go far away?
But after losing her mother and uncle, her worth dropped completely. She was still outstanding and excellent, and there were people of the right age who were willing to marry her, but none of them were as high as the offer from the old man. There was no obvious benefit in marrying her, and even the most loyal backup could not convince the elders in the family to pay such a high price to marry her.
When she was at her wit's end, Lin Weini could only think of this suitor who had been pursuing her for several years.
Before coming here, she thought she had found a perfect way to survive. Her father would never have thought that she would come to his ex-wife's daughter for help, and as long as Qiao Qingqing accepted her commission, Qiao Qingqing and Shao Shengan's family members left in the base would become hostages - her suitors were unable to meet her father's conditions to rescue her, but they could still do it to embarrass a few ordinary residents in the new community.
For the sake of their family, Qiao Qingqing and his wife will definitely escort her diligently.
She had thought about so much, but never thought that Qiao Qingqing would refuse so firmly.
Five kilograms of gold! In this situation, Qiao Qingqing couldn't even save five kilograms of gold in ten years of work, not to mention that she had more than that much gold on hand. She just added two kilograms... She heard her father say several times that Qiao Qingqing and his wife were disrespectful to him, so she knew that Qiao Qingqing hated him, so she went to Qiao Qingqing. She thought that Qiao Qingqing hated her father and would not help her father to pressure her to get married. Instead, she would want to disrupt her father's promotion plan. With the huge sum of money she gave, how could Qiao Qingqing not agree?
It turned out that she really disagreed!
Not only did Qiao Qingqing refuse, she also said such terrible words. Lin Weini knew that this trip was in vain.
Lin Weini watched her figure disappear from her sight, and despair arose from her confusion.
Then who else can I look for?
She pretended to agree to the marriage in exchange for the opportunity to go out freely. If she went to find another mercenary team, she would be discovered immediately. Qiao Qingqing was really her best choice at the moment.
Tears welled up in Lin Weini's eyes. She was unwilling to accept this, but what else could she do?
Could it be that he really used that knife... She shook her head quickly. How could she do such a thing? She had never even thought about it!
She left the public security detachment in a daze. The car stopped on the side of the road. After she got in, the car didn't move for a long time. Half an hour later, the car started, drove around and returned home.
Qiao Qingqing finally found out how Lin Weini got in. During dinner in the cafeteria, the deputy captain mentioned: "A lady named Lin came to see you. She has a name tag of an elementary school teacher. I thought she was a decent person, so I let her in."
Qiao Qingqing nodded and said nothing.
The deputy captain was a little curious: "How do you know that rich girl? She drove here. Tsk tsk, our detachment only has two cars, and we can't drive them unless it's an emergency. Gasoline is so expensive these days."
"I'm not familiar with him. He was introduced to me by a former patient."
"Oh." The deputy captain obviously didn't believe it. Why would a rich girl need to go to the outskirts of the base to see a doctor? He saw that Qiao Qingqing didn't want to talk more, so he tactfully stopped talking about this topic. Anyway, Qiao Qingqing's shift will be over in half a month. In the days to come, Qiao Qingqing can use her medical skills to treat colleagues in the team at a preferential price, which will benefit the team.
Two days later, Xiaopeng came back from vacation and paid the medical fee for the five kilograms of supplies.
A few days later, Zheng Meng came to Qiao Qingqing to have her stitches removed. This time she said nothing and just sat there in silence, letting Qiao Qingqing remove her stitches.
"Okay." Qiao Qingqing took off her gloves.
Zheng Meng put on her clothes silently. Before leaving, she stood at the door without taking the last step.
Turning her head to the side, she whispered, "Qingqing, I now truly believe that our friendship is over."
There was no one responding to her from behind, only the sound of someone making up the bed.
The sky outside was dark, just like Zheng Meng's mood at the moment, dim and without a trace of light.
Her previous stupidity has resulted in an irreversible outcome today. Zheng Meng is no longer the naive and romantic Zheng Meng she used to be. She understands that some things will never come back once they are lost.
"I'm sorry Qingqing, I'm sorry." Zheng Meng said and waited for a while, and finally left disappointed.
After that, Qiao Qingqing never saw Zheng Meng again. After she finished her shift here, she had no chance to meet Zheng Meng again.
After returning home, Qiao Qingqing learned about what happened that night from Shao Shengfei. Qiao Songzhi and Shao's mother had originally planned to keep this a secret so that the children would not worry, but they did not expect Shao Shengfei to tell everyone.
"Nothing happened, and we were safe at home. This is a new community, so it's relatively safe," Qiao Songzhi explained hurriedly.
"Yes, Qingqing, this place is really great. Fortunately, we listened to you and came here directly after the fire in the community. Now we have such a good house to live in. It is usually very safe. The security team often comes here for patrol. Although there are some petty thefts, they are all minor problems. We can handle it." Mother Shao smiled, "Don't talk about that. Go take a shower quickly. After you take a shower, let Sheng An take a shower."
Shao Shengan went to Qiao Qingqing's workplace to wait for her. The couple and Liu Zhaoyun came back together.
Hearing this, Shao Shengan also urged Qiao Qingqing to take a shower while he went to inspect the monitor.
Before we knew it, autumn was about to pass and another winter was about to come. As the eighth year of the apocalypse was coming to an end, Qiao Qingqing felt a little emotional.
With my family by my side, these eight years have passed so quickly!
After washing her hair, Qiao Qingqing wrapped it up, then washed her body, wiped the foggy mirror, and wiped her hair in front of the mirror. She looked at herself in the mirror, and her face seemed to have not changed much, but when she looked closely, there were some fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
She celebrated her 32nd birthday in the summer. In her previous life, she died in the winter when she was 34 years old. Should she be able to survive that day this time?
Spend that long and eventful day with your family.
Shao Shengfei's happy voice came from outside, and Qiao Qingqing's mind returned to normal and she felt relieved.
She blinked, and the self in the mirror blinked too. She exhaled, rubbed her hair vigorously a few times, opened the bathroom door and went out.
The next day, Mr. Shao took a special day off to go home for a family reunion. The family hadn't been together for a long time, and everyone was very happy.
"When I got home, I saw a new notice posted on the factory bulletin board, saying that earthquake disaster prevention drills would be carried out starting from the first of next month. Drills would be conducted every ten days, which means three times a month. I don't know if it's true or not."
After hearing what Shao's father said, Shao Shengan looked at Qiao Qingqing.
Qiao Qingqing was somewhat happy: "Really?"
After waiting for so long, has disaster prevention drill finally been put on the agenda?
Are the top leaders of the base ready?
Father Shao didn't know why Qiao Qingqing was so happy. He nodded and said, "Yes, it is clearly stated on the notice. Many of my colleagues are unhappy! It takes so much time to practice every ten days. The time wasted can be used to make more cans. I don't even want to participate."
"Ahem." Shao Shengan coughed. "After all, it's a big factory, and they must follow the instructions from above. Dad, if you want to continue to be rated as an outstanding worker, you have to obey the factory's arrangements, right?"
He didn't say anything else, just mentioned the excellent worker, and Shao's father had to nod.
Yes, if I don’t obey orders and get deducted points, I won’t be selected as an outstanding worker and will get ten kilograms less of grain bonus a month. That won’t do!
Father Shao nodded seriously: "I will definitely follow the factory's arrangements, don't worry."
That evening, the Ping'an community broadcast also sounded, announcing the earthquake disaster prevention drill plan, which would also be conducted every ten days. At the same time, the broadcast also said that experts predicted that there would be a high probability of a major earthquake in the future, so earthquake disaster prevention drills were a necessary and urgent task.
Shao's mother was horrified: "Big earthquake? Oh my God!"
Qiao Songzhi said, "Fortunately, the base has made some predictions this time, so we can be prepared. Qingqing Shengan, your unit should have the same drills, so you all need to practice well."
"Yes, I will, mom." Qiao Qingqing reminded, "Fortunately, in the past few years we have gotten used to carrying emergency kits when we go out. They contain food, medicine, and other necessary outdoor survival supplies. We have been a little slack these days. From today on, we must carry them with us. Don't leave them. If there is an earthquake, we will need them."
Mother Shao looked at Father Shao hurriedly: "Did you hear that? I know you must have left your bag in the dormitory at the factory, right?"
Being exposed by his wife, Shao's father was a little embarrassed: "Then I work in a workshop, how can I walk around with a bag on my back? People will laugh at me, and the team leader will definitely criticize me."
"Dad, just put the backpack in your workshop, under your workstation." Shao Shengan has also worked in a factory and is very familiar with the situation.
"Okay, I got it, don't worry." Shao's father quickly agreed, otherwise he would definitely be nagged again.
