Jinyuan Primary School is just three streets ahead, about two kilometers away from Jinyuan Community.
The two men launched two speedboats into the water. Grandma Wang's family and Chen Binggang's family were all looking out from the balcony.
"Grandma Wang, let Brother Wang go with us, and Uncle Chen, your family should also send a representative."
As soon as Qiao Qingqing finished speaking, the two families on the seventh floor smiled and thanked her repeatedly.
The speedboat moved forward steadily. Qiao Qingqing saw many nearby residents on the way. This was the first time she saw so many residents going out after the flood. Most families used kayaks, followed by speedboats, and then various simple tools, such as buckets, basins, or quilt boats. Everyone showed their magical powers and tried to get closer to Jinyuan Primary School.
"Oh, my godparents are old, and I don't dare to let them go out, so I took their household registration books. Do you think I can pick them up on their behalf?" Chen Binggang was a little worried, so he told Qiao Qingqing and the others about it. "If I can't pick them up on their behalf, can you lend me the speedboat later? I'll send them over to pick them up, and I'll give you supplies in exchange!"
Shao Shengan said: "If we can't pick it up on your behalf, we will have to send my family to pick it up first, and then we can lend it to you."
"Okay, thank you so much!"
When they arrived at Jinyuan Primary School, they saw Zheng Tiehui and his son returning with smiles on their faces.
"We have fresh vegetables and fruits, hurry up and get them!" Zheng Tiehui waved his hand.
Chen Binggang and Wang Jiale were even more excited. Jinyuan Primary School was flooded to the point where only a stretch of water remained. The medium-sized ship that arrived earlier had already laid out the planks to facilitate people to board. Large boxes of supplies were piled on the deck, and in the aisle, the emerald green color was exposed, and people could seem to feel the greenery from afar.
“Is that a vegetable?”
"Is that an apple over there? It looks red to me!"
"Oh my god, the relief supplies are finally arriving. I haven't seen what green leafy vegetables look like in over a month!"
Qiao Qingqing and her companions parked the speedboat and went ashore. They followed the instructions to submit their documents and received a "supply book". The staff wrote their names on the book. Qiao Qingqing and Shao Shengan collected the supplies for their relatives and received a total of six books.
Wang Jiale has been running the business for a long time, and now there are eighteen people in his family, including family members and relatives.
"Go over there and stop making noise! Follow the order!"
The excited crowd did not dare to make too much noise, for the simple reason that the armed police officers on the ship were carrying guns, and the black muzzles of the guns had their own deterrent power.
Each person can get three kilograms of rice, three apples, six bottles of water, a three-kilogram bag of green vegetables, and a piece of pork belly. The supplies for one person are packed in a plastic bucket. The staff said that the bucket should be brought next time. This bucket will be used to collect supplies in the future.
The six barrels still take up a lot of space, and with the supplies from Chen Binggang and Wang Jiale's homes, they have to go back and forth several times to transport them all.
At night, Jinyuan Primary School was still brightly lit, and the headlights made the water surface shine brightly, which could be seen from a long distance.
Qiao Qingqing's family had vegetables from the relief supplies for dinner. After dinner, Shao's mother cut apples and sprinkled plum powder on them.
Qiao Songzhi ate a piece and praised it highly. Shao's mother said happily: "We eat fruits like this in our hometown. We sprinkle plum powder on watermelon and guava to make them taste more sour and sweet."
"The lights over there are still on, and there are speedboats delivering supplies. Wow, they are driving so fast, just like racing." Shao's father didn't like eating apples, so he sat on the balcony and watched the rescue workers drive the speedboat, with Shao Shengfei sitting next to him.
"They are professionals with a lot of experience, so of course they can drive very well." Shao's mother said affirmatively, "Our Qingqing and Sheng'an are also very good at driving speedboats. I've seen it. The son of the Zheng family next door can't drive at all. It's his father who drives."
Father Shao agreed with a smile: "That's right, Qingqing and Sheng'an are not bad either. Who is better than them among their peers? When they got married, they held a wedding banquet in their hometown. The villagers envied us so much, saying that Sheng'an married a very beautiful wife. In recent years, sometimes I dream about the wedding day at night. It was so beautiful."
Speaking of this, Shao's mother felt distressed: "I didn't bring the wedding photo album of the two of you. If I had known it would happen, I would have brought it here!"
Qiao Songzhi stood up and said, "I have a copy in my room. I'll show it to you."
Several elders, including Shao Shengfei, gathered around to look at the wedding photos of Qiao Qingqing and her husband.
Qiao Qingqing looked at him for a few seconds, her eyes a little dazed.
It’s too long ago. It’s really a memory that’s too long ago.
In the wedding photos, she smiled brightly and lively, her face filled with happiness, which seemed a little strange to her.
"Let's go sit on the terrace." Shao Shengan held her hand and said softly.
The two of them sat back and looked in the direction of Jinyuan Primary School, where the lights were bright.
"What is this?" he asked when he saw Qiao Qingqing playing with something in her hand.
"This is a toy my big brother gave me." Qiao Qingqing smiled and spread out her hands. It was a puppy made of building blocks. "My big brother built it himself. I put it in my pocket and just touched it."
"Qingqing, thank you." Shao Shengan looked into her eyes, "I am very grateful to you."
Qiao Qingqing was stunned for a moment: "Why would you say this for no reason? What's wrong with you?"
Shao Shengan hugged her and couldn't say any more words to explain.
His wife's kindness to his elder brother is not something that can be thanked in a few words. His brother is a fool, but he has been protecting him since he was a child. When someone hits them, the elder brother will hold him and let the punches or small stones fall on his back, so that his younger brother will not get hurt. When he grows up and becomes sensible, he will hit back with a stick. After winning a great victory, he will turn around and see his elder brother grinning at him happily, shouting "Brother, you are awesome!"
Yes, his brother is not a normal person, and others have no responsibility to take care of him. As a younger brother, Shao Shengan can only do his best to protect his brother. After he made money, he enrolled his brother in a special education school, but Shao Shengfei was too dependent on his family. He would not eat or drink for a few days and would cry non-stop. In the end, there was no choice but to send him back home to live with his parents in the factory dormitory. He worked part-time in college, and with the first money he saved after graduation, he rebuilt the house for his family. He originally planned to work hard for a few more years before getting married, but it was his girlfriend who took the initiative to say that they should get married first and work hard together.
In the eyes of outsiders, Shao Shengan is not worthy of his wife who owns a house in Huacheng. When he was in college, the male classmates who pursued Qingqing ridiculed and mocked him, saying that apart from his good looks and good grades, what else could he have to be worthy of Qingqing?
Although Shao Shengan was not convinced, in fact, he knew that he was indeed not worthy of Qingqing.
The burden of his family was his biggest shortcoming. When he was a child, his parents always told him to study hard and have a promising future so that he could get married. At that time, he didn't understand. After all, marriage was too far away for him at the age of seven or eight. He was ignorant and fearless and impulsive. He pursued Qiao Qingqing when he was a teenager. The two officially got together in high school. It was also in the third year of high school that Shao Shengan understood some realistic problems under the pressure of the college entrance examination.
But that doesn't hold him back, it only motivates him to work harder.
He loves her and he will try his best to overcome all difficulties.
Finally, he was admitted to the university as he wished, worked part-time during college, received a full scholarship, and after graduation, he entered a large company...
Step by step, he changed his life and embraced his lover.
"I thank you for being my wife."
In the silent but warm embrace, Shao Shengan finally said only this sentence and a promise: "Qingqing, I will die after you, don't be afraid."
Qiao Qingqing was surprised and touched. She laughed and hit him: "We all have to live well. What's the point of talking about death?" After a pause, she said, "I am also very grateful to you for being my husband."
Shao Shengan tilted his head, and after a while he turned around, held her face, and kissed her on the lips. Their noses were touching, and they saw the affection in each other's eyes.
Qiao Qingqing blinked, pretending not to see the tears in his eyes, smiled and kissed him back, hugged him and buried her head in his neck, saying in a muffled voice: "I feel so happy now."
"Me too--"
Suddenly a scream was heard.
Qiao Qingqing almost jumped up! She subconsciously grabbed a kitchen knife from the space!
"It's okay! It's okay! It seems to be my brother calling me." Shao Shengan comforted her, "Let's go downstairs and take a look!"
Downstairs, Shao Shengfei was hugged tightly by Shao's father: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Feifei, don't be afraid, it's the broken glass, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
"What happened?"
Qiao Songzhi stood on the balcony and turned around to say, "There was glass breaking next door. The noise was really loud and Feifei was scared. The noise was really loud, like something hitting the glass. The speedboat looked so strange. It was downstairs just now, but in the blink of an eye it had already gone over there."
When Qiao Qingqing went over, she could only see the tail of the speedboat.
"I'll go out and take a look." Shao Shengan opened the door and Qiao Qingqing went over to help open it. It was really troublesome to open the triple security door at home.
The Zheng family in room 802 next door is in chaos.
Their family finished their meal early and went to bed early to save candles. No one expected that such a big change would happen suddenly.
The loud sound of glass breaking woke up everyone except Zheng Liangdong. Zheng Tiehui jumped out of bed in shock, and his head was throbbing with pain. Mrs. Zheng was first startled by the explosion, and then by the sight of Zheng Tiehui covering his head and gasping for breath. After Zheng Liangying came in with an emergency flashlight, Mrs. Zheng found Zheng Tiehui's medicine and gave it to him.
"What happened?" Zheng Tiehui asked, panting.
"It's the French window on the balcony at home that's broken. It feels like someone smashed it with something."
"I said at the time that tempered glass should be installed on the eighth floor! You refused to listen and said it was unnecessary! Look at you today -" Mrs. Zheng's complaints were interrupted by Zheng Tiehui getting out of bed.
"Where are you going? Aren't you feeling dizzy? Clean it tomorrow!"
Zheng Tiehui snatched the flashlight from his daughter's hand and saw that the living room was in a mess and the nanny was using a broom to clean it.
"What is this?" Zheng Tiehui found a note from the broken glass on the ground, and immediately looked at his son Zheng Liangdong after reading it.
Zheng Liangdong was puzzled: "What?"
"Look for yourself!" Zheng Tiehui threw the note at his son.
"What are you doing? Why don't you talk it over nicely? It wasn't Liang Dong who broke the glass, why are you being so mean to him?"
Zheng Liangdong picked up the note and his face changed after reading it. The note said, "Fuck you, try shining the laser pen on me again!"
He was angry and wanted to say something when Zheng Tiehui slapped him in the face.
With a slap, Zheng Liangdong was hit and his head turned sideways.
"I told you before not to cause trouble, don't cause trouble. The world is different now. To cause trouble is to seek death! But you ignored my words and went to sleep at night when you had nothing to do. How dare you shine a laser pen at others? Now you shine a laser pen on a tough guy, and he smashed your window without saying a word! Can you still use the money now? Can the shop still be opened? Such a big hole, how do you think we should fix it!"
Outside the door, Shao Shengan and Qiao Qingqing, who were listening to the noise in the Zheng family's house, exchanged glances. Without asking any more questions, they turned around and went back home.
