Shao Shengan didn't know the tangle in Qiao Qingqing's heart. He just felt his heart was tied into a ball, and continuous pain and bitterness bubbled up. He didn't expect that his wife was still carrying such a great pressure in her heart. Taking a deep breath, he promised Qiao Qingqing that he would go for the operation so that she wouldn't have to worry about the space disappearing.
Put yourself in his shoes. If he had gone through those ten years, he would also attach great importance to space and would not allow it to be lost.
Children are certainly a beautiful expectation, but when it comes to survival, we can no longer ask for too much.
"Sheng An, I place my hope for our future survival on the space. I hope that the supplies we store now can become a solid barrier to protect us and keep our family alive! I dare not let it go wrong in the slightest. If I get pregnant... I dare not think about it. I will be reluctant... I would rather not have a child. I am such a selfish person. Sheng An, those days changed me. I will no longer be the Qiao Qingqing in your memory. I just want to live, live with all my strength, and live with you."
"I will always be with you, Qingqing, don't be afraid."
There was sadness, self-loathing, and painful repression in Qiao Qingqing's words, but Shao Shengan didn't hear it. He thought Qiao Qingqing was afraid and worried about the future, so he said to his wife in the same firm tone as when he said the wedding vows: "Don't be afraid! I will be with you in everything in the future. No matter what dangers or difficulties, we can get through them."
Qiao Qingqing shook her head. She wanted to say that she was no longer afraid. She had seen hell before and had been trapped in it for several years.
The only thing that scares her is the loss of her loved ones and the loneliness and sadness.
But in the end, she just choked up and said "OK".
Well, from the moment I came back I decided that, whether we live or die, we will be together.
I am no longer alone, and I will try to make myself more dependent on you.
In the following days, the couple went out shopping as usual.
The rain was getting heavier, and a thin layer of water had already accumulated in some low-lying areas. But no one took it seriously. They still had to go to work, and the children seized the tail end of the summer vacation and had fun.
Qiao Qingqing inquired about several slaughterhouses and ordered a batch of slaughtered chickens, ducks, pork, beef and mutton. She also went to the seafood market to order fish and seafood. Every time she opened her eyes, it was as if there was a long shopping list in front of her, urging her to hurry, hurry, hurry!
Money was spent like water, things were piled into the space one by one, and the space of more than a thousand cubic meters was slowly filled up.
During this period, Qiao Songzhi sold the shop, and Shao Shengan also asked his parents to sell the house in his hometown on the grounds that he was seriously ill and needed money. Qiao Songzhi took time to go back to sign the contract, and so did Shao's father. Although the distance was not far and they could go back and forth on the same day if everything went well, Qiao Qingqing was still uneasy.
"Don't go. I don't need the 200,000 yuan." Qiao Qingqing was against it at first. Her mother was finally by her side. How could she bear to let her leave her? What if she went and couldn't come back? She had lived in the apocalypse for too long and had forgotten that she had to go back to sign and transfer the ownership of the house.
"Silly Qingqing, how much can you buy with 200,000 yuan? Mom wants to help." Qiao Songzhi smiled and touched her face. "You are too anxious. Don't be afraid. Mom will definitely come back."
Qiao Songzhi came back in the rain three days later, and Shao's father came back two days later. He really believed that his son was seriously ill and urgently needed money, so after getting the money, he immediately bought a midnight train ticket and rushed back.
"It's raining so hard. There's water outside the train station. Luckily I put on my water shoes, otherwise my pants would be wet." Shao's father talked to his wife and asked, "How is Xiao An these days? What do your in-laws say?"
Shao's mother wiped him with a towel, her face worried: "My mother-in-law said that his condition is under control. Oh, I really want to go see him."
"Don't worry, the hospital outside the city is better and will be good for Xiao An's illness. I have already transferred the money, call Qingqing to see if she received it."
Qiao Qingqing didn't pay attention, but when she checked, she found a transfer of 190,000 yuan.
"Got it, Mom. Sheng An, Sheng An is fine. We will be back in a few days."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Qingqing felt guilty, but sadness only makes people weak, so she quickly calmed down and invested the money in a new round of material purchases. Her husband said that he had already ordered an order for speedboats, which was not enough, so she placed an order for five more, sent another one to Yuan Xiaowen, and bought ten kayaks.
The two proceeds from the sale of the house by both sets of parents allowed Qiao Qingqing to buy enough medicine. She worked in a foreign trade pharmaceutical company and had some connections. She had taken sick leave for the past few days and her colleagues called to tease her, saying that she was such a hard worker and would take a vacation. She used to not rest even when she had a fever of 39.8 degrees. She could only laugh it off.
The old me… was too strong. She and her husband fought hard for this school district house. They decided to get married when they were in college and started working to save money. After graduation, they got a job and got married. In the past four years, they really never rested. They even took time out to get the marriage certificate and did not hold a wedding.
It's so frustrating to earn so much money but end up not spending it.
Medicines and necessary medical equipment arrived one after another, and the money was spent very quickly.
In the past few days, gasoline purchased from the underground black market has arrived one after another. Shao Shengan took Qiao Qingqing to the warehouse to receive the goods in the middle of the night. The action was very covert.
"Later...if they come to look for gasoline and find that it is missing, they won't suspect me. They will just think that it was stolen by someone else." Shao Shengan also breathed a sigh of relief. This batch of gasoline had been hanging in his mind, and he would feel uneasy until he collected it all.
He smiled at Qiao Qingqing soothingly: "After all, I said I wanted to do business to make extra money, but before I could distribute it, it accumulated water. I certainly don't know where the things went after that."
Qiao Qingqing hummed, and sat in the passenger seat to make changes in her notebook: "I'll keep the balance for enclosing the terrace... The generators will all be collected this afternoon... The last batch of rice, flour, clothing and bedding will be delivered to the warehouse tomorrow, and we won't buy them after this batch is collected. The main supplies have been collected, Sheng An, is there anything you want? We still have 210,000 left."
"I ordered a batch of frozen steamed buns and dumplings from the processing factory, as well as the cheese and pork floss baked cake you like. If you order directly from the factory, the price will be cheaper. It will cost about 60,000 yuan. You can save this money."
Qiao Qingqing smiled: "Okay."
