017 is arriving one after another
The fact that Clover openly killed people made Mo Xun dare not be careless, insisted on sending Qi Qing home to the basement, and helped bring up the boxes of fresh food.
Mo Xun was holding a large box with one hand, which was a bit peaceful.
Qi Qing originally planned to go upstairs by herself, and the box was taken away, but now she can only watch the disabled people help with manual work, and she is a little embarrassed: "Actually, I'll go upstairs to get my mother's trailer, and then go down to move the boxes." If your arm is inconvenient, don't work so hard. ”
Mo Xun replied confidently: "Actually, I work so hard because I want to have a seafood dinner at your house." ”
"......," Qi Qing said, "when my father was still alive, seafood was very good. My mom's skills are average, and I didn't inherit the talent of cooking at all. Did you really decide to eat at my house? ”
Mo Xun smiled again: "Actually, I like to cook more, if you don't mind, I can invest in technology." ”
Qi Qing saw Mo Xun buying kitchenware in the supermarket that day, and guessed that he might cook, but she didn't expect him to be so confident, she quipped: "In that case, I want to try your cooking skills." I don't know how to do it, but I'm very good at eating. ”
"It's not like a lady's way of describing herself."
Qi Qing blushed and defended: "I can't eat fat at all, so I have a lot of experience in diet, and I am more picky, I hope your cooking skills are really good." ”
The two went home talking and laughing, and bought so much fresh food, Du Ruying smiled from ear to ear. When I heard that Mo Xun planned to cook, I was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that young people nowadays still like to cook?" I thought you all ate takeout. ”
Mo Xun explained: "I worked abroad for a while, and I was not used to eating foreign food, so I made it myself, and I also taught myself, if it is not to your taste, please bear with me." ”
Qi Qing didn't see the outside and said: "Our family is light, it's sweet, and everything else is very casual, you can look at it." ”
"Well, it's about the same as my mother's back then, they all like light. We also steamed the seafood, and then some secret seasoning. ”
Qi Qing hadn't cooked for many years, so she could only beg her mother to introduce her to various things in her kitchen, so that Mo Xun could see what was missing, especially condiments. In the future, if they move to the military factory, ordinary food can be bought in nearby towns, and the seasonings from Tiannan and Haibei must be stocked up in advance and brought over.
Mo Xun looked carefully in the kitchen, asked about his usual habits of using cooking utensils, and then rummaged through the cabinets and took some cold condiments, and finally smiled: "You have a lot of things at home." ”
Du Ruying said: "Our generation has experienced the era of material shortage, so we love to stock up, I can't help but buy everything when I go to the supermarket, and I will buy it if it is cheap or not." Xiaoqing always said that I also save any plastic bags, and I buy large packages of rice, flour, grain, oil, laundry detergent and soap, alas, the old habit can't be changed......"
In the past, Qi Qing was dissatisfied with her mother's habit of hoarding goods, in a house of more than 100,000 square meters, all the cabinets were stuffed with things, and the piles were worthless and could be bought anywhere, not to mention plastic bags and newspapers, and she was reluctant to throw away old clothes. But in the dream of natural disasters, Qi Qing and her mother relied on the food and clothing they usually hoarded, as well as those discarded newspapers to light the heating, to survive the first difficult days.
At this time, she was embarrassed to say: "Mom, I was wrong, you are right, the house at home is so big, you can stock up on more things you like, be prepared, and maybe you will use it when you want." ”
It was still early before dinner time, Qi Qing peeled fruit to entertain Mo Xun to rest at home, and saw that his mother had returned to the room, deliberately leaving space for their "two-person world", so he asked softly: "After such a toss yesterday, can you still live in your rental house?" Clover knows your address, and I'll probably be able to hide here for a while. ”
"Let's make do with it, now that the murder case also involves Xu Qiancheng, it is estimated that Clover may not attack us again for the time being. She should have other goals, and there is no need to gnaw at our hard bones. Xue Xiong was also involved in the murder, and it is estimated that Xue Yafang will stop for a while. Mo Xun analyzed the current situation and felt a little more relieved.
Qi Qing also agreed with what Mo Xun said, but the key point she emphasized was: "You said that you lack money, are you serious?" I always feel that you are such a capable person, you can buy a house in S City casually, right? Why rent nearby? ”
Mo Xun smiled bitterly: "I'm really short of money, all the money I earned before has paid off my father's old accounts, including my family's house in this community, and my mother also sold it to pay off her debts back then." She was seriously ill at that time, and told me that she was selling the house for treatment, but she was actually using the money to pay off my father's old debts. That money was used for treatment, and she might still be alive now. ”
Qi Qing didn't expect Mo Xun to have such a painful experience, so she hurriedly spoke out to comfort her. I thought that Mo Xun mentioned the death of his mother, and he never said what happened to his father, so he didn't know what the situation was, so he asked again: "If the natural disaster really comes, and you leave with me, what will happen to your other relatives and friends?" ”
"I don't have any relatives on my mother's side anymore. Although my father is still alive, I have severed the father-son relationship after I paid him back. He is obsessed and has his own retribution, and I will not care about him anymore. Mo Xun saw Qi Qing's puzzled face, and simply said frankly,
"My father used to be an official, but he did not resist the temptation and accepted bribes, which not only caused great losses to the country, but also injured innocent people. He is now serving his sentence in the prison in S City, and all the money in his family is not enough to pay for his life, but he hides the stolen money and does not confess. I used to work in a more dangerous job, barely paying off my debts, and I was also disabled.
Some time ago, I went to see him in prison, but he wanted me to use the money and connections he hid to dredge up the relationship and reduce his sentence...... It's really wishful thinking. I have already informed the task force of the clues he said, and he is afraid that he will have to extend his sentence this time, and he will not be able to come out in this life. ”
Since she met Mo Xun, Qi Qing has always seen him calm and calm, expressionless to others who may be cool, but to her from time to time with a light smile, gentle and sunny. I had never seen him so sad and gloomy as he was now.
She wanted to make him better, but she didn't know what to say to ease his pain. But she really wanted to help him out of those glooms.
Mo Xun looked at Qi Qing's clear eyes, and he knew that the other party would not discriminate against him because he had a bad father. She has been smart and kind since she was a child, so other children are willing to play with her, not because she is domineering, but because she knows how to consider others and is very responsible.
Being with Qi Qing will make him sunny, no longer think about the painful and dark days, and pretend that he is a normal ordinary person. I studied and worked at an ordinary university, but now I just changed my job.
"Don't worry, I'm not the same as my dad. My occupation in the past was also to do things for the country, not a bad person. Mo Xun said softly, although he couldn't talk about secrets, he wanted Qi Qing to know more about him, believe him, and not doubt him.
Qi Qing nodded solemnly: "Well, I understand." I'm sure you're a good person. ”
This sentence is worth a thousand words, Mo Xun was relieved, repacked his mood, tied his apron and started to make dinner.
Qi Qing also received the items purchased online before. For example, huge bags of day and night hygiene products, heavy washing and toiletries, small coal stoves, and daily medicines scattered to several online platforms.
She took the courier, unpacked it and checked it, and received it directly to the space. The seafood I bought today can't be received under Mo Xun's nose for the time being, but fortunately, it can be stuffed in the refrigerator, and there is always a chance to buy it in the future.
There was also news of the military factory on my mother's side. She took advantage of Mo Xun to cook, so she called Qi Qing into the room and said, "Did you tell Mo Xun about the natural disaster?" ”
"Well, I said it, I hired him as a bodyguard, let's go all the way to the mountains, and we must have a man to support the scene, so as not to be bullied."
Du Ruying asked again: "Do you like him, or do you only ...... to deal with natural disasters?"
Qi Qing lowered his head: "I don't know, his appearance and personality are the type I like, but he is very mysterious, and I can't be sure why he approached me and was willing to help me." ”
"Are you with him in your dreams?"
"I didn't have him in my dream for the first time. In yesterday's dream, he was there, but something more distant had not yet happened. Qi Qing tried to change the topic, "Mom, don't say so much." What's going on at the military factory, can I go? ”
