013 Next Steps
Hearing her mother ask like this, as if she really went out on the road with Mo Xunda at night, Qi Qing hurriedly explained: "Mom, you misunderstood. In fact, yesterday afternoon, I was harassed by two thugs, and Mo Xun helped me drive people away. Those two gangsters were found by Zhang Jiannan's wife Xue Yafang, and it is said that the woman had some friends in the mixed society, so I asked Mo Xun to be my bodyguard. He didn't have any other job, and he knew the director of the nearby police station, and he was a reliable man. ”
"Oh, are you hurt? Why didn't you say it earlier! Du Ruying is such a baby daughter who depends on each other, and she was a little anxious when she heard it.
Qi Qing was afraid that Xu Qiancheng's assassination would scare her mother, so she hid that section and deliberately said lightly: "Mom, I have also practiced women's self-defense skills, of course it's okay." It's just that those two gangsters were beaten a little badly, and I'm afraid that they will find someone to retaliate if they don't give up in the future. Mom, have you thought about it, why don't we move back to your hometown as soon as possible? ”
"That's right. But now there is only one person left in my hometown who looks at the factory, and the one who is also retiring this year, I don't know if it is completely deserted, so I will call him and ask about the situation. If water and electricity can't be supplied, we will go to the barren mountains and mountains. Du Ruying chattered on her lips, but she actually had a tendency in her heart.
Last night she continued to have strange dreams, and she dreamed, as her daughter said, that extreme cold was followed by extreme heat, and then a tsunami. I live in S City, which is close to the sea, and I have to leave sooner or later in this house. However, there is only about a month left, and they must choose carefully and make a few more preparations for everything.
"Are you talking about the old man surnamed Xu? Can you still reach him? The reason why Qi Qing asked like this was because Lao Xu also appeared in her dream last night.
She remembered that when she returned to the military factory, Uncle Xu was there, and said that she would never leave for the rest of her life, and she had a deep affection for the factory.
Du Ruying didn't expect her daughter to have such a good memory, so she nodded and said: "Yes, I have a landline phone in the factory duty room, and I called him to greet him during the Spring Festival this year." He said that he was the only one left, and the few who stayed behind before couldn't stand it and left. Lao Xu's wife went early, and his son heard that he had been a soldier in the Northwest Frontier, and the conditions there were not as good as the green mountains and green waters in the factory. ”
Hasn't Lao Xu's son been discharged from the army yet? Qi Qing still remembers that when she went a few years ago, Lao Xu said that her son was a soldier in the northwest.
When Qi Qing followed her mother back to the military factory, she was actually very shocked. Originally, it was a deep mountain stretch, and even the roads were dilapidated, but after suddenly turning a mountain, endless neat houses suddenly appeared in the valley, and compared with the ordinary villages and towns in the surrounding area, it felt more urbanized.
That's not the size of an ordinary factory. Naturally, there are factories, towering industrial facilities, and large residential areas.
The buildings are said to have been built around the 70s, and there are also some minerals here, and the fields can be used to grow grain and vegetables. Other construction materials and equipment were brought in from afar. At that time, the people who participated in the construction of the factory and those who stayed in the factory all signed confidentiality agreements, and the family members who did not bring them to the factory were also kept confidential, as if the world had evaporated, and they no longer had contact with the outside world.
Her mother told her that there were not only these buildings that could be seen on the ground, but also that there were facilities in the belly of the mountain and beneath the ground.
That time they didn't have time to stay too much, the father also wanted to take the whole family to the newly developed tourist attractions nearby, there was actually nothing to visit in the military factory, the mother recalled the past, the stay was no more than two hours, the family had lunch at Uncle Xu's and left.
I don't know why, Qi Qing dreamed of the place she had only been to once last night, and when she saw Uncle Xu, she also spoke, maybe this is the guidance given to her by the prophetic dream, she said: "Mom, if the factory can still live, I want to buy a second-hand van, let's bring the supplies and move back." The terrain is high, the climate is good, there are few people, and the place is large, and the tunnel into the mountain is guarded, and it is not easy to be disturbed by the outside world. ”
"After the natural disaster comes, will it really become so chaotic?" Although Du Ruying asked, she actually had the answer in her heart. The scope of the ongoing catastrophe is so great that it is not one country in one place, but the whole world. The resources of the state's reserves are limited, and people's hearts cannot be stabilized by shouting empty slogans, and when food and drink cannot be supplied, it is difficult for people's hearts to be selfless and benevolent. When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and it is more stable to hide in a place with few people.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Mo Xun didn't come to breakfast empty-handed, he handed over the steaming fritters and said, "I remember that the fritters in this store at the entrance of the community more than ten years ago were the best, and I don't know if you like them?" ”
He wore a modest casual suit today, taking off his coffee-colored trench coat jacket to reveal a black turtleneck sweater with jeans underneath. Although he is not a famous brand, he was born with a clothes rack, and ordinary clothes also wear a high-end temperament.
Mo Xun didn't bring expensive gifts, just like a neighborhood visit.
Du Ruying accepted the fritters and beckoned him to eat, the more she looked at this junior, the more she liked it.
Mo Xun's appearance has nothing to say, his actions and demeanor reveal a good upbringing, and he looks much better than Zhang Jiannan. If the daughter also likes this young man, there is nothing wrong with the two having a deep relationship.
Du Ruying took her son-in-law's filter, and ate a very comfortable meal, and she talked about the birthdays of both parties when she asked again.
Qi Qing hurriedly stopped her mother's check, and said, "Mom, I want to go to the second-hand car market with Mo Xun today, and the things I bought online may be delivered one after another, you remember to collect them." Things are heavy, let the delivery person move in, you must not force yourself. ”
After neatly cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Qi Qing pulled Mo Xun and ran away.
Sitting in Qi Qing's car, Mo Xuncai asked, "Does aunt think we're talking about friends?" ”
Qi Qing said: "My mother is most keen to find me a partner, if it bothers you and embarrasses, I apologize for her." ”
Mo Xun said paradoxically: "My mother was like this when she was alive, I can't wait for me to find a job as soon as I graduate, it doesn't matter if I find a job, just bring a daughter-in-law home." ”
"Alas, don't talk about this, I thought about my future plans, and the preparations before the natural disaster cannot be delayed. Today I go to the used car market and I'm going to buy a box van. I had some spare money on hand, and then I sold the house, exchanged it for supplies, and pulled it away by car. ”
Mo Xun asked, "Are you really planning to move?" So where to move, do you still have to take supplies with you? Unless in a poor and remote place, now that logistics is very developed, you don't have to do it yourself so complicated, right? ”
"It's safer to wait for someone else to deliver the goods than to transfer them yourself. It's not a good thing to be trapped in a populated city when it's extremely cold and hot. At present, the food in S City is supplied by the surrounding areas, and once the traffic is not smooth, or the surrounding areas are also affected by the disaster, they have no food or drink, who can send the supplies to the city? Qi Qing paused, "Besides, you also said that our community is being targeted and it is not safe." ”
"When you were eating, you mentioned your aunt's hometown, is that place very remote? Do you think you can survive natural disasters by going there? Mo Xun asked.
Qi Qing said in an affirmative tone: "You can understand that I have a kind of prediction ability that is not too accurate. ”
Mo Xun sighed: "So you can't expect someone to attack you?" ”
Qi Qing didn't mention his small space of 50 cubic centimeters, but in order to arouse Mo Xun's enough attention to himself, he bragged to himself: "What I have a hunch is a big scene of natural disasters, I have survived seven rounds of natural disasters, and I plan to prepare some necessary supplies based on this, I don't know if you are willing to join forces with me to form an alliance?" ”
