() "Hot pot is good! It's so cold, and it's still warm! ”

As soon as Dabin heard his girlfriend say that he wanted to make hot pot for everyone to eat, he was the first to stand up and agree, but he forgot about the famine just now.

Today is January 7th, and it has been almost ten days since the disaster broke out, and there are still two days to go, and it is the annual Great Depression, which is the annual holiday.

This annual vacation is probably the most interesting year for the surviving human beings, and of course, the darkest year. They may have hoarded enough food and waited for the arrival of Chinese New Year's Eve, or they may not be hungry and clothed, expecting God to reward them with something to eat and wear, but whether it is hunger and poverty, or big fish and meat, the New Year is one thing worth making people happy, which is our traditional custom. Wash away the lead and welcome the arrival of the new year. Perhaps it is more appropriate for the world today to call it the arrival of the last year.

Just now we played poker, to be honest, we are also watching the end of the year approaching, and have some fun, hoping to wash away the pain and depression caused by the infected people, and let us forget about the frightening future for a while.

"There are two days left before the New Year, let's pack up this teahouse and welcome the arrival of the New Year! The old saying doesn't talk about twenty-eight, put the noodles on the hair, twenty-nine, steam steamed buns, stay up for a night at thirty, and twist on the first day of the New Year! Although it is different now, as long as we are willing to work hard to live, we can still feel the happiness brought by life! ”

Somehow, I suddenly said this to the big guy with gusto.

Since the outbreak of the disaster, in order to survive, we have not been able to take care of the Laba Festival and the New Year, and it was already a blessing to be alive in that situation. Even if our situation is not very good now, it should be the same as in those previous days, nesting in a corner and stealing a living. But now it's different, to put it mildly, that's called having this condition!

"I'll make noodles and steam steamed buns tomorrow!"

As soon as Lao Liu heard me say this, he immediately became interested, and seemed to be happier than having just won so many cigarettes.

"Okay, then Fei Fei will have to trouble you to prepare the dishes for the thirty nights, oh yes, and dumplings."

I turned to Fei Fei who was standing behind me.

"No problem, leave it to me, Hanhan, you can help me."

Fei Fei happily agreed, and by the way, she called Ruohan to prepare together.

"Okay, then the rest of us will clean up the entire teahouse and let's go!"

Next, I mobilized the rest of the team to clean up.

"Meiqi, you go upstairs and rest, we have enough people."

When I came to Maggie's side, I said to her with some concern.

"Don't, it's rare for everyone to work together, instead of running for their lives together, how can I be absent?"

Maggie frowned and said she didn't want to rest alone.

"No, have you ever thought that now you have some colds and high fevers, if you have been in the teahouse with everyone, won't the probability of other people being infected increase? So be obedient and go upstairs. ”

I was half threatening and half coaxing.

"That.. All right. ”

In the end, Maggie didn't want to cause everyone to get sick because of herself, so she had to take the general and the cerebellar axe upstairs to stay a little unhappy.

"That.. Old Gai, what are you doing? ”

After seeing Maggie and the cerebellar axe go upstairs, I turned around and saw Gai Qingxuan standing at the entrance of the teahouse, holding a piece of yellow paper in his left hand and an ordinary brush in his right hand, the tip of which was stained with cinnabar, and he was writing and drawing with his head bowed there.

"Oh, I'm drawing some charms to avoid evil, isn't it going to be the New Year."

Gai Qing Xuanhui

The head looked at me, then turned his head back and said to me as he drew the talisman.

"Is this thing going to work? ...”

I muttered something in my mouth.

In my opinion, if you want to say that Gai Qingxuan can fight, I believe it. After all, no one will sweep the floor bare-chested in thirty-nine days, and besides, the strong muscles are not covered. But if you want to say that he really knows what kind of flying away from the sky, catching ghosts and killing ghosts... Forget it...

"It's auspicious, who knows if this thing is good or not, I've never used it, so I'm going to try it today..."

Gai Qingxuan also muttered in his mouth.

After the game just now, Gai Qingxuan no longer had that kind of crepe tone, but talked about Baiwen, which made me finally feel no longer so strange.

Clean up the tables, chairs and benches in the teahouse, pile up the extra tables and chairs in a remote corner, put the four tea tables together in the center, and put a dozen stools around them, and don't need anything else.

After sorting these out, I was so tired that I was sweating profusely, and out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Dabin, who had been standing at the cash register, and found that this guy didn't know what he was messing with, he had been tinkering for more than ten minutes, and he was still tinkering.

"Dabin, what are you doing there? Cashier? ”

I quipped at Dabin. I don't know if this guy is lazy.

"What do you know, I improved the exclusive special drink I invented before, and when I study it, I will pack the drink for the thirty nights."

Dabin said to me without raising his head.

I was speechless for a moment. Specialty drinks? Isn't it just a bunch of different kinds of tea mixed together? Can you drink that?

"Lao Zhao, what do you want?"

Avoiding the plague of Dabin, I came to Zhao Shengtian, who had cleaned up the second floor, and sat down.

At this time, he sat alone in the chair, and there was a trace of melancholy between his eyebrows. Curious, I asked.

Zhao Shengtian raised his head and looked at me, but he didn't speak, as if there was something he wanted to say but it was not easy to say. I'm even more puzzled in my heart, didn't I quarrel with Ruohan? But looking at Ruohan's demeanor after being busy in the teahouse, it didn't look like a quarrel.

"What's wrong? Quarreled with Ruohan? ”

I asked tentatively.

"Where did you want to go, it's not like that."

Lao Zhao showed a mouthful of slightly yellowed teeth and smiled bitterly at me.

"Then why aren't you in a good mood? Got something on your mind? ”

I asked.

I'm a person who naturally likes to get to the bottom of things. Of course, if others don't dislike it.

Lao Zhao looked at me fixedly, didn't speak, and was still hesitating whether to say or not. I was stared at by him. He's a company commander! His eyes were as sharp as knives. I didn't make any mistakes myself, but now he looked at me as if I had made some mistake. "I said Lao Zhao, just say anything about it, don't always stare at me!"

I couldn't help myself and complained.

"Occupational disease, hehe, occupational disease. Well, how do you say it, I said you don't have to worry about it. ”

Zhao Shengtian gave me a preventive shot first.

"It's okay, you say."

As soon as I heard him say this, his expression immediately became serious, and it seemed that he was serious.

"I'm going to go back to my hometown in two days, Bingcheng."

Zhao Shengtian was concise and to the point.

"Why? That.. What about Ruohan? Or do we have a problem there? ”

I wanted to say no when I heard this, but I held back and asked some questions I wanted to know.

"I told you not to worry about it, why are you still thinking about it? I didn't mean that!

”

Zhao Shengtian was a little anxious.

I licked my lips and smiled, nodding slightly for him to continue.

"I don't know if my parents are alive or dead, and the disaster happened so quickly that I didn't have a chance to contact them, and I don't know what happened to them. But I don't go back and take a look, and I'm still not at ease. Qi Mo, don't worry, after I go back, if my parents are alive, I will settle them, if not, I will come back to you, I promise. As for Ruohan..."

Zhao Shengtian said at the end, and glanced back at Ruohan, who was wiping the door frame with a rag at the kitchen door.

"Ruohan will live with you first, I'm afraid there will be danger when I go back this time, he follows you, I don't worry."

Zhao Shengtian was resolute and didn't want others to put themselves in danger for his affairs.

"That's it. . . I think you should take Xiao Wang with you, it's too dangerous to go back alone, and the two of them should take care of each other and take care of each other. ”

After listening to Lao Liu's heart, I have nothing to say. Presumably he's been planning for a long time. It's impossible to persuade him to stay, so you might as well let him take Xiao Wang back to have a look, and they can take care of each other.

"I'm also wondering if to bring Xiao Wang. This kid.. I guess you'll definitely follow me then, so bring it with you. ”

Zhao Shengtian muttered to himself, and finally chose to take Xiao Wang with him.

"Brother Tian, drink some hot water to warm up!"

Ruohan came out of the kitchen with a glass in his hand, and the quilt was still steaming.

"Drink slowly, hot."

Ruohan instructed.

Then he hopped back to the kitchen.

I shook my head and thought, "Oh, a woman in love! ”

"Lao Zhao, it's not decided when you're leaving, or wait for the resources in the teahouse to be almost consumed before leaving, it's not bad for a few days. Then let's act together, return to the gate of the temple on the top of the mountain, you drive back to your hometown in an armored car, I will drive our car to the capital to have a look, then you go to the teahouse to have a look, if we are not there, you go to the capital again, we should find a place to stay there for a while. ”

I told Lao Zhao what I thought.

"The capital? What are you doing there? Could it be that you have already planned it? ”

Zhao Shengtian heard me talk about the capital for the first time, and looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"Well, that's right..."

I decided not to hide from Lao Zhao what he didn't know about last night, so I told Lao Zhao everything that happened.

"How so? Could it be that our country is also in the same league as Paula? That's impossible! ”

Zhao Shengtian was slightly excited, especially after he heard that all this was carefully planned by Paula's company.

"I don't think so, if it's the same thing, then there is no need to urgently set up epidemic prevention stations everywhere, I think this is the work of Paula alone, and it has nothing to do with other people."

I made my point and it was very persuasive.

"Paula's company, before the loss, they said anything to help, but I didn't expect them to be hypocrites!"

Zhao Shengtian was still angry, and his face seemed to be a little red.

"Bang bang... Bang.."

At that moment, the door of the teahouse banged again, and it seemed that there were more than just one or two infected people.

"That's it, let's invite the guests outside the door to leave first."

After hearing the movement, I stood up and said to Zhao Shengtian.

"I'll do it myself."

Zhao Shengtian seemed to want to vent his anger on these infected people, so he didn't allow me to do anything, and walked to the door of the teahouse alone.
