By July, we had completed the work of renting and moving. By the time my son had his holiday, we had officially moved into the Sunshine Community.

We didn't pay much attention to the recent situation of the vegetable store, but we also knew some from the mouth of the second sister Qu one after another.

The mother and daughter really moved out to live after they got the vegetable store, and the guilt on the face of the second sister was replaced by a happy smile. But I doubt how long she can laugh, and I'm not cursing her for being bad, I'm just talking about it. Just she indulged Aunt Wang like this, look at it, if the vegetable shop is good, it is good to make money, if the vegetable shop does not make money, they have to go back to trouble Second Sister Qu. But these are no longer things I can say, and there is an invisible gap between me and Second Sister Qu.

Besides, the second aunt and daughter of Wang were too hard to work for half a month, so they hired a person to buy goods for them every morning, and the store also hired an old man who tally the goods. They themselves are responsible for collecting money after sitting at the counter.

How stupid this person is, he handed over all the purchase channels to others, I really doubt how long their vegetable shop can be opened, and there are two people hired for such a small shop, and the money earned is not enough to pay for the hired people!

No matter what happened to them, it had nothing to do with us anymore, and we went back to our original lives. During the day, the children were sent to Qu's parents' house to play with his older brothers and sisters. Jiang's father and Jiang's mother have just moved to a new community, and they are very curious about everything, and they go out all day to be friendly and friendly. At home, we enter the space to practice the "Concentric Formula", and then there is farming.

As we enter July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and there is no hint of rain in the sky. Except for me and Jiang Zhi who always pay attention to the changes in the weather, the rest of the family does not have any sense of crisis about this weather, as if it is the same as every year in the past, the weather is hot and the air conditioner is on the line.

Once Hanhan and I went to the market to buy tofu, and I wanted to go home as soon as I left the unit door.

It was too hot, and I looked up at the cloudless sky, with only the sun hanging high overhead, without any shelter, as if it were on fire. Hanhan and I misestimated the heat of the weather, and did not do a good job of preventing heat and sun, so we could only move forward against the sun.

I didn't go far, Hanhan grabbed the hem of my clothes and said, "Mom, I'm so hot and want to drink water." ”

I looked down at Hanhan's little red face from the sun, and I was distressed. Actually, I can't stand the heat anymore, did I walk 200 meters? The two of us were sweating profusely, and our clothes were wet with sweat.

I looked around, there were no taxis on the road, there was a small supermarket in front, "Hanhan insisted, you see there is a small supermarket in front, go to your mother to buy you ice cream." ”

So I walked into the small supermarket on the side of the road with Hanhan in a brisk manner. As soon as I entered the supermarket, the air around me became cooler. I spat out the last breath of heat in my chest and abdomen, and went to buy ice cream for my son, and when I saw that the price of everything in this supermarket had risen, the cheapest ice cream and mineral water were 3 yuan, which was also too expensive, and they both tripled. The proprietress saw that I was too expensive, so she said: "The weather is so hot, ice cream and mineral water drinks are not easy to enter, and the purchase price has doubled." Now all supermarkets are at this price. ”

No way, no matter how expensive it is, it's worth eating. I bought an ice cream for Hanhan, bought a bottle of chilled mineral water for myself, and stood in front of the air conditioner in the supermarket to blow the cool breeze. In the more than 10 minutes we entered the supermarket, there was not a single taxi passing by on the road outside.

I had to pull up Hanham again and rush into the heat outside.

On the way to the market, we look for a small supermarket, which is generally separated by 1 or 2 hundred meters, so we try to find a shade under the tree, and after walking for a while, we will enter the small supermarket with air conditioning to avoid it, and buy an ice cream or chilled mineral water.

Finally dealt with the market, as soon as I opened the door of the market, I regretted it, why do I have to eat tofu today, why do you want to break the market on such a hot day.

The market is like a steamer, hotter than the outside, there are many people selling goods inside, and the air is not circulating, so the stuffy air is mixed with all kinds of smells in the market, and the smell is really amazing.

Hanhan was so noisy and smelly when I pushed open the market door that he didn't say anything to go inside, which made me sad.

What should I do, I'll go in by myself, I have to throw Hanhan down, and let a 5-year-old child stand at the door of the market by himself I don't dare. If I don't go to the market, I think it's a pity, I've gone through thousands of mountains and rivers to come to the door, and I won't enter the market gate again, it's too much of a loss.

After thinking about it, I can only do work for my son. I struggled and promised a lot of good food before my son agreed to go to the market with me. My son insisted to me that it was just this time. I thought to myself, just this time, next time don't say you won't come, I won't come either.

Normally it takes only 15 minutes to get home, but today it took us more than two hours to get home.

When I went upstairs, I calculated the cost of going out this time, and the tofu cost 5 yuan, which I still thought was so hard to go once, and I bought 5 yuan after buying too little and losing too little. I spent 34 yuan on water and ice cream on the road, and you say how expensive these pieces of tofu are.

Jiang Zhi saw us open the door and entered the house, and said, "Why have you been going for so long, I thought you both were lost, and I was just about to call the police." ”

I said weakly, "It's still slow, I can't come back." ”

Hanhan shouted when he saw Jiang Zhi: "Dad, my face and arms hurt so much." ”

Jiang Zhi took a closer look, my son and I were choked by the sun, our faces and arms were red, and we were distressed.

"Why are you so desperate, on such a hot day, you have to buy tofu. If you have to go, can't you come back first to get an umbrella and put on a hat? Look at you, you walk in the sun without wearing anything, and if you don't burn whoever you burn, can't you grow a little heart? ”

I was scolded by Jiang Zhi, yes, why didn't you think of it at the time?

Since then, as long as there are no special circumstances, my son and I do not go out, and we turn on the air conditioner at home to escape the heat.

It wasn't until one day that there was a power outage in the house that something changed.

One night at about 10 o'clock, Hanhan suddenly knocked on our door, I sensed a knock outside in the space, and immediately came out of the space with Jiang Zhi. As soon as I returned to the bedroom, I felt a sultry air rushing towards my face, and my body immediately felt like I was taking a sauna, and I was sweating all over my body.

Jiang Zhi went to open the door, I quickly picked up the remote control and wanted to turn on the air conditioner, but no matter how I pressed the air conditioner, it wouldn't turn. Jiang Zhi led his son to me, took the remote control in my hand, and said with a smile: "Mom's power is out, the air conditioner can't be turned on, and I'm going to die of heat." "I realized it was a power outage.

I looked at my wilted son, hugged him and kissed his blushing little face. said impatiently: "Mom, don't kiss it, it's so hot." ”

I looked at Jiang Zhi and asked him what to do.

Jiang Zhi said: "I'll go and see how my parents' house is, you take two batteries out." ”

Watching Jiang Zhi walk out of the room, I looked at Hanhan again, thinking that it was time for my son to enter the space to enhance his physique, let him know that there should be no problem with the space, and took out the battery that Jiang Zhi wanted from the ring in front of him and put it on the ground. Hanhan exclaimed "Mom" when he saw that I was like a magic trick and could conjure things out of thin air, and I quickly covered his mouth. He put his index finger to his lips, shushed him, and pretended to say "this is a secret" to his son mysteriously. My son blinked his big innocent eyes, as if he knew a big secret, and nodded hurriedly.

Jiang Zhi also entered the bedroom at this time, and shook his head helplessly when he saw our mother and son like this, "Mom's house is too hot, I'll take a battery to turn the air conditioner in their house, you can take another battery and plug in the refrigerator, or tomorrow the things in the refrigerator will deteriorate." We'll bring it in a moment. ”

After Jiang Zhi entered the bedroom again, our family of three entered the space together for the first time.

It's still comfortable in the space, the air is fresh, and the temperature is not hot or cold.

Han Han looked very excited and excited after entering the space, and asked me where this was. I won't answer, so I say, "Ask your dad to go." ”

Hanhan went to ask Jiang Zhi, "Dad, where is this?" ”

Jiang Zhi thought for a while and said, "Son, this is our family's secret base, and we can't let anyone know about it." ”

Hanhan still looked at his father very puzzled.

Jiang Zhi changed his words again, "Hanhan, this is my mother's secret, if others know about this place, they will arrest and lock up my mother, and you will never see your mother again." ”

Han asked, "Locked up, like those animals in the zoo?" "Now I'm entangled in it, whether I'm treated the same as animals!

Jiang Zhi answered this question for me, "Yes, son, if others knew this secret, my mother would be worse than the animals in the zoo, with no food to eat, and she would be locked up in a small dark room every day." Mom is so pitiful. Hanhan can't see her mother anymore, and it's too pitiful. So son, can you keep this secret for your mother and don't tell anyone. ”

"Brothers and sisters can't say it?" Hanhan tilted his little head and asked us.

"I can't." We said in unison.

"What about grandparents and grandparents?" Then ask.

"Neither can we." Then answer.

"Okay then, Mom, I'll protect you and won't let people take you away. I don't know what zoo you're kept in. I can't see you anymore, I should miss my mother. Han Han made a final concluding remarks, and I was silent.
