Chapter 9: 58°C, Breakfast

Monday, June 9, 2039.

3:05 p.m.

Hmmm-

Zhou Rui opened the airtight curtains, and what caught her eye was not a transparent glass window, but a closed window with strong light-shielding.

She opened the lock of the window, opening a slight gap.

The strong sunlight and heat wave rushed in instantly, like the feeling of a flamethrower facing his face, Zhou Rui squinted his eyes and looked out.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the community was uninhabited, even birds and insects were almost extinct, and the once colorful community green belt was replaced by a green plant that could withstand high temperatures.

Brother Zhou Qi also said that the windows used to be transparent, and as long as the curtains were opened, you could see the beautiful scenery.

But she was young, and she had little impression, as if she had the impression that the windows were either navy green or gray.

After looking at the scenery for a few seconds, his eyes couldn't stand it anymore, so Zhou Rui closed the window and closed the curtains.

In today's hot weather, she often sees news stories of curtains catching fire because the windows are not closed tightly, and such fires usually occur in high-rise buildings during the day.

The fire is a monstrous situation, usually before the fire truck arrives, the whole building is on fire, so the survival rate is very low.

So in this regard, she pays special attention.

Check your windows carefully every night before going to bed to avoid accidents.

Then she tiptoed to the middle of the living room, where there was a suitcase stacked with some clean clothes that she had put in.

Then, she continued to help Zhou Ping pack his luggage.

Zhou Ping, a bachelor, doesn't need much on the construction site, if he has to say, a few changes of clothes are completely enough.

But Zhou Rui doesn't think so, she feels that life needs a little warmth, so no matter how hard her father's work is, it will be easier.

So she would put 30 tea bags to relieve the heat, but in order to prevent her father from drinking or forgetting to drink every time, this time she specially pasted a note on the outside of the tea bag.

"For the sake of your health, remember to drink every day ^ω^ - love you, Rui."

Although Dad has to say that the summer tea is useless, it is not as powerful as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, but Huoxiang Zhengqi Water is medicine after all, and it cannot be drunk as water, how can the two be the same?

When it comes to life skills, although she is young, she often watches videos of authoritative experts, and she still understands a little bit of these things!

Random excuses to fool her will definitely not work.

Then, she took a few more cookies and candy and put them in the overalls jacket that Zhou usually wore.

Sometimes it was a day to dig a hole in the ground, and my father was hungry and didn't know how to find something to fill his hunger, which led to stomach problems, and the pain of tossing and turning in bed during the attack.

Although she had told him many times, he always kept teaching!

So, she took out the old biscuits and candy in them and replaced them with new ones, depending on when he remembered to eat two bites.

Although he always doesn't listen, he always has to worry about him when he is a daughter.

"Ugh."

sighed faintly, Zhou Rui, who was only seven years old, had already experienced the hard work and difficulty of being a parent, and in the face of her stubborn father, she had a sense of déjà vu in the face of a stubborn son who had been taught repeatedly.

Then, she left another note in her pocket.

"Take a bite when you're hungry, it's the best cookies and candy I've ever picked out^ω^—love you, Rui."

After putting everything away, Zhou Rui closed the suitcase and put it in front of the door so that Zhou Ping could take it away when he left.

"This family really can't live without me."

She sighed.

It was about 3:15 a.m., and Zhou Ping woke up.

This weekend is equivalent to two and a half days, and he has a pretty good rest.

I took the children out to play two days ago, and finally slept at home for ten hours in the last half day, and now I wake up, refreshed and in good spirits.

Zhou Ping's bed is very small, only 1.2 meters, this is because he specially transformed the master bedroom, and the family of three lives in this master bedroom of only 16 square meters.

In addition to his small bed, there is a bunk bed, as well as a spacious double desk.

There is no wardrobe in the bedroom, it has been converted to the second bedroom, so it is not crowded, and there is even a small corner dedicated to Zhou Qi playing games.

When Zhou Ping was not at home, Zhou Qi slept in his bed, and the daily activities of the two children were in this room.

Now the electricity bill is very expensive, two yuan and six cents a degree, and electricity is everywhere in the long-term home, and the water and electricity bill is the largest expense in the family, about 3,000 or even 4,000 yuan a month.

The master bedroom and living room are equipped with fresh air systems, so it doesn't matter if they are closed for a long time, and occasional ventilation at night will not affect your health too much.

He got up, Zhou Qi was still asleep, but Zhou Rui was still nowhere to be seen, Zhou Ping walked out of the bedroom lightly, and sure enough, porridge had been set on the dining table in the living room.

His youngest daughter was stepping on a small bench, pushing the steamed steamed buns from the stove down.

"Be careful."

"I'll come."

Zhou Ping hurriedly walked over, took the hot steamer from her hand, and subconsciously reproached: "Don't do this kind of thing next time, it will be troublesome if it is hot." ”

Zhou Rui showed a row of thin teeth and smiled: "I'm not that stupid." ”

"Dad, are you going to stay for a month this time?"

"It shouldn't be that long, maybe I can come back once every two weeks."

"Great!"

Zhou Rui felt hopeful again, happily hung her chin on the dining table, and smiled like a sunflower.

The seven-year-old girl was white and tender, and it was the most beautiful and lovely time, Zhou Ping couldn't help pinching her fleshy pink face.

"You go to bed again, you still have to go to class at night, and you get up so early."

"Don't be afraid, we can catch up on sleep during our lunch break, I want to watch you eat."

Zhou Ping's eyes were moist again, and it was always easy to feel when he was old.

He also thought about finding another one, but if he just married back to take care of the children, would such a marriage make sense.

And it is undeniable that there are definitely more good people than bad people in the world, but Zhou Ping does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to find good people, and he does not dare to gamble with the childhood and even the lives of his two children.

I ate a big bowl of porridge with steamed buns and pickles, the time was almost up, and Zhou Ping should go to work.

Before leaving, he told again in a verbose manner: "You must pay attention to safety at home, don't panic when you encounter something, and call the police for help immediately if necessary, you know?" ”

"yes, I see."

Zhou Rui nodded obediently and sent Zhou Ping to the door.

"And." Zhou Ping sighed, "Actually, it's good for Dad to do these things by himself, you are such a small person, you don't have enough time to study and play every day, so why worry about me?" ”

Zhou Rui immediately retorted, "It's all within my power, compared to my father, I just steamed steamed buns and folded a few clothes." ”

Zhou Ping is very worried, the child is very sensible, but he is worried that the child is under too much pressure.

Zhou Rui is too mature compared to Zhou Qi, and she has a broken heart at a young age, is this really good for her childhood?

"I'm going to wake my brother up."

Perhaps worried about continuing to be preached, Zhou Rui blinked her eyes and ran into the bedroom.

On the bed, Zhou Qi was still asleep, like a dead pig.

Zhou Rui climbed inside and kicked him off the bed, "Get up, Dad is going out, you're still sleeping, you pig!" ”
