Chapter 17: Pets at home
Now the balcony is empty, and I don't see the Maofeng tea tree named Xiaocha.
An Xin poked his head out of the room and said to Qi's mother, "Mom, where did you put Xiaocha?" ”
Qi's mother sat on the sofa and counted how much food was still at home, the two of them had already retired and lived with their pensions.
The family's savings are all to be left to the two sisters.
Hearing An Xin's words, she remembered, "Your tea tree, a week ago, the community was cleaned, and the plants that grew too tall were all cleared out of the community, saying that there were potential safety hazards.
I asked, and the plants cleared out of the community were all transported to the salt lake near Changyun and planted. ”
An Xin thought to himself, what are the hidden dangers, to clear these tall plants, then why are the big trees in the green belt planted in the community not clear, but they are home-raised.
Weird.
After An Xin asked, he forgot it, thinking that he could go to the salt lake to find the tea tree again in the future, after all, it was the original owner's favorite, and it was gone, and it didn't feel good.
In three or four days, the end times will truly come.
An Xin tidied up the room, put on the sheets and quilts, and got them all before they came out.
Walk to the living room, drag the suitcase into the room and put it away, and then come out again.
Father Ann had already eaten the can, and the two husbands and wives sat on the sofa, took a notebook, and wrote down all the supplies at home.
Mineral water, store 130 boxes.
Bottled water, store 10 barrels.
Toilet paper, a cabinet of about 200 rolls of paper, 200 packs of toilet paper.
Salt, five boxes.
Rice, store 10 bags, 10 kg bags.
Yellow millet, store 10 bags, 5 kg per bag.
Mung beans, red beans, soybeans, black beans, one bag each, 5 kg.
Barley, red dates, wolfberry, black rice, purple rice, one bag each, 5 kg.
2 catties of notoginseng powder, 2 catties of gastrodia powder, and 2 catties of angelica.
Ten boxes of household cold medicine, antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs, diarrhea medicines, band-aids, etc.
……
Basically, some household things, daily necessities and the like, have been saved a lot, and there is a lot of food and drink.
As for snacks or something, although An Xin and An Yi were not at home, Qi's mother also bought the small cakes they usually eat, bread, kelp shreds, seaweed, meat muffins, quail eggs and other snacks and put them in the locker in the living room.
The lockers are full, and the large and small drawers and cabinets in the house are basically filled with all kinds of things.
However, An Yi looked at the list, and the basic food needed for life was all ready.
She didn't expect that Mother Qi and the others were so capable, and she was thinking about how to persuade the two of them to do something after they came back.
There's no need for her to say it now, it's all right, but there's still one thing missing, clothes.
Because there are two girls at home, there are enough quilts or something, three or four beds are stored in the cabinet, and there are seven or eight sets of four-piece sets.
In recent years, silk quilts, ice quilts, and those quilts are light but warm.
There are also three or four beds in each of these rooms in the upper cabinet, and the weather is too hot now, although Qi's mother bought more quilts for the summer.
However, in winter, because of the heating and air conditioning, most of the previous quilts were not used much, but this item cannot be ignored.
There are also coats, and Qi's mother and the two of them didn't buy some new clothes in the season, and most of the clothes they wore were the models of last year and the year before.
This is not good, and consumables such as clothes should be prepared.
An Xin proposed that the family go out and buy some clothes, and now there are only summer clothes on the market, but there are several factories on the outskirts of L City that specialize in making clothes.
The factory not only has summer clothing materials, but also winter ones, and there are many styles, and you can also customize quilts.
An Xin has never been to this place, but Father An and the two of them have been in L City for decades, so they must be familiar with each other.
When she went out, An Xin thought that she was with them, and she was more relieved.
Now not to mention that the zombies have not appeared, even if they do, it is just to deliver food, she can handle it, and it is not a problem to protect the second elder.
However, as soon as he said this, he was strongly opposed by An's father.
In the past few days, he has gone out to inquire about Anyi's news, plus buying supplies, he ran out and ran in, and he saw the situation outside in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
Most of the stores outside are basically closed, and everyone wants to put something at home, and only those big supermarkets and big shopping malls are open.
And when he went out these days, someone fell to the ground from time to time, and there was a police ambulance coming to take people away at the beginning, but these days, unless there is a family, no one pays attention to the person who falls to the ground.
Either the security guards, wearing masks and gloves, moved people to the alleys where they couldn't see, and then posted a note to the entrance of the alley, indicating that there was someone here, and if the family came, they should come and collect it quickly, otherwise they would be dragged to the crematorium.
Later, some squares were dedicated to people who were unclaimed and looked like they were in high fever and shock.
Dad tries to avoid those crowded places when shopping, and you must bring a few more gloves and masks when you go out, and you must also bring a hat.
He didn't dare to wear short sleeves to go out on a hot day, for fear that the flu would spread to him through his skin.
He was also an intellectual, but now he believes more and more in those unfounded things.
Everyone has rumors in private that this is the end of the world is coming, and those who fall to the ground will become zombies in the future.
These good people can only save more things at home, take care of the doors and windows, guard the house, and wait for the end of the world to pass.
As for his eldest daughter An Yi, he asked and begged others, and the money was spent, but there was no news at all, and he also went to see the squares where people were released, no.
He gradually despaired, no longer looking for it, the news of his youngest daughter said that in Changyun, she was fine, she would always go home, and there was still a wife at home, he couldn't show it, and his wife couldn't live in peace.
An Xin said that Dad just didn't agree, Mother Qi boiled mugwort leaf water every day these days, and asked Dad An to take a bath when he came back to drive away evil spirits.
Because An Xin came back, this daily necessity had not yet been carried out, but fortunately, Qi's mother burned a lot more each time, and she hurriedly urged the two fathers and daughters to take a bath with mugwort leaf water.
When An Xin's father and daughter went to take a bath, Qi's mother waited to put away their clothes, washed them separately with the remaining mugwort leaf water, dried them on the balcony of the living room, and continued to boil a pot.
She watered the flowers and plants on the balcony as usual, and she didn't raise much, so she raised two Zhao Fan peonies, one pot on each side of the balcony, and she had been raising them for seven or eight years.
I also raised a spring orchid, these three flowers are relatively large, but they are still not as big as the tea tree originally raised on the balcony of An Xin's room.
That tea tree has been raised for nearly 15 years, and the flower pot is only a little more than one meter and three.
There are two small shelves next to the peony and orchids, which originally raised all kinds of succulents, but they all died one after another, and there was only a pot of small white birds left.
In the past few days, the pothos raised at home has somehow turned yellow and died, and Qi's mother took out the dead roots and threw them away, and piled the flower pots on the shelves on the balcony.
These days, peonies and orchids look good, the leaves are green, no matter how they bloomed before, the leaves were a little bit yellow, but now they are in great shape.
