Chapter 22: The Banner Called Hope

In the evening, Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou carried potatoes and lotus roots in plastic bags to 2603 as guests.

When they arrived, Sun Rui and Yu Qingxi were chatting on the sofa in the living room, and they seemed to get along well.

"Sister Yue, Brother Zhou." Sun Rui greeted them and took out tea to entertain: "This is Cheng Wei's friend." ”

She introduced the three of them to each other, and when Yu Qingxi heard that they lived in 2061, her eyes stayed on Wen Qizhou's face: "It turns out that the gentleman who spoke to me last time was you." ”

Hearing the sweet "sir", Chi Yue glanced at Wen Qizhou with his spare eyes, but there was no superfluous expression on his face.

Wen Qizhou has a good skin.

can be called a perfect three courts and five eyes, and a cold and indifferent temperament, an unintentional glance can make people unable to take their eyes off.

He had many suitors before, so when he caught the amazement in Yu Qingxi's eyes, Chi Yue was not surprised.

"Chengwei, are they in the kitchen?" Wen Qizhou asked Sun Rui, as if he hadn't heard her words, and looked extremely indifferent.

"Yes."

"Then I'll take a look." He rubbed the top of Chi Yue's hair, and then got up with the ingredients: "Yueyue, you talk." ”

Chi Yue responded.

Yu Qingxi, who was ignored, was a little embarrassed, and she smiled and talked to Chi Yue: "Sister Yue, how long have you been married?" ”

"It's been almost a year."

"That's good." She looked at Chi Yue's radiant face, and then asked, "How did you meet?" ”

"My mom introduced me."

"Blind date?"

"It's not." Chi Yue took a sip of tea, and her thoughts drifted back to her childhood: "I was only seven years old when I first met him. ”

"Childhood sweethearts!" Sun Rui stared at Chi Yue with shining eyes, and began to knock cp: "How old was Brother Zhou at that time?" ”

"Ten years old."

Ten-year-old Wen Qizhou already spoils her very much.

He would carry her schoolbag, tie a small tug, help her with homework, and gently coax her when she wrestled and cried her nose.

He will fly kites with her in the spring, swim with her in the summer, pick up maple leaves in the fall, and build a snowman with her in the winter.

……

The picture of the two little beans walking through the four seasons together flashed through his mind, and Chi Yue stroked the wedding ring on his finger, smiling even more.

The happiness she exudes from the inside out is really conveyed to Sun Rui and Yu Qingxi, making them inevitably envious.

Sun Rui still wanted to hear their stories, but Zhao Peng had already come out with the pot: "Sisters, come over for dinner!" ”

The three of them moved to the dining room.

Chi Yue sat next to Wen Qizhou, and the pot covered with hot pot base had not yet boiled, so they were not in a hurry to move the chopsticks.

She glanced at the eight or nine vegetarian dishes and luncheon meat, beef and canned hairtail on the table, and asked, "Isn't there duck meat today?" Why do you still take so many cans out? ”

"His duck is too skinny." Zhao Peng pressed the switch of the induction cooker: "There are not two catties of meat, it is definitely not enough to eat." ”

Yuan Chuan, who was belated, happened to hear this conversation and asked with a smile: "After eating this meal, do you have a next meal?" ”

"Why not? We still have a lot of stock. Yao Chengwei patted his chest and told them not to worry, even if they had enough to eat.

He asked Yuan Chuan, "What about Sister Hui?" ”

"She's not feeling well, she's asleep right now." The actual situation is that he was afraid that his wife and children would be targeted by Yu Qingxi, so he didn't bring it.

Yuan Chuan secretly gave him a look.

Yao Chengwei, who didn't understand it at all, guessed with divergent thinking, and suddenly nodded: "You should really rest more during your menstrual period." ”

"......" served.

As the hot pot boiled, the rich aroma spread, and they picked up their chopsticks and poured their favorite dishes into the pot.

The white smoke rose, and Wen Qizhou looked at the person opposite through the smoke: "Has anyone come to borrow a boat recently?" ”

"Every day." Yuan Chuan shook the beef for a few seconds and dipped it in the bowl twice: "There are very few people who find the boat in our building. ”

"And how much rice did you collect?"

"About fifty pounds." The fact that they collected supplies and borrowed ships was not a secret in the building, and anyone who had a heart could figure it out.

Therefore, he did not avoid Yu Qingxi.

It just so happened that Yu Qingxi was very interested, so he pretended to be curious and asked, "How many catties of rice and noodles do you collect at a time?" How many people are divided? ”

"Five catties at a time, three families."

They didn't have many boats last time, and they were worried about the damage to the borrowed boats, so they only borrowed one today.

Zhao Peng asked, "Do you want to borrow a boat?" ”

"Nope." Yu Qingxi sandwiched a piece of duck meat for Yao Chengwei, and said with a smile: "I have a boat at home, so I don't need to borrow it." ”

After she finished sandwiching the duck meat, she leaned on Yao Chengwei's shoulder affectionately, which instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

Chi Yue's eyes flashed with interest.

She couldn't figure out Yu Qingxi's purpose, so she asked a question about their progress at the right time: "What is your situation?" ”

"We ......" Yu Qingxi glanced at Yao Chengwei with blushing cheeks, as if he had mustered great courage: "I like him." ”

Yao Chengwei: "......"

It's too open-minded.

He cooperated with her performance, scratched the back of his head twice embarrassedly, and said something unfocused: "Actually, I am too." ”

This industrial dog food is really not tasty.

Sun Rui, who loves to knock CP, can't go in, but she has to say "wow" and clap her hands like an NPC.

"Together! Together! ”

Under Sun Rui's "encouragement", Yao Chengwei slowly took Yu Qingxi's hand and stared at her affectionately with his lifelong acting skills.

In order to avoid her suspicion of lack of sincerity, he frantically recalled the lines in the TV series: "Qingxi, I like you, are you willing to accompany me through the tedious and procrastinating twilight and evening?" ”

Yu Qingxi choked: "I do." ”

Everyone fell silent for a short time, except for the sound of the hot pot gurgling.

Finding that no one was celebrating them, Sun Rui had no choice but to go into battle and beat Zhao Peng's shoulder excitedly: "Ah! They're so sweet! ”

"......" sweet hammer.

Zhao Peng, who was inexplicably hammered, "hissed", and under her silent threat, acted as a second NPC and applauded.

Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou couldn't help laughing, said a few words of blessing, and then stopped looking at the "so sweet" couple, and lowered their heads to wash vegetables.

Dinner ends in an eerie atmosphere.

A group of people gather to chat for a while, and before the battery runs out, they are watched by the new couple to go home.

*

Through tonight's hasty confession, they knew that Yu Qingxi's group couldn't wait, so on the third day, they released the news that they were going out to find supplies and leaving Yao Chengwei alone to guard his home.

But I didn't want to, the helicopter came.

The torrential rain could not hide the sound of the propeller, and it was even more difficult to hide the red flag that could bring hope to the Chinese people.

Residents followed the sound out of their homes and walked unwaveringly towards the flag. Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou also put down their original plan and approached the rooftop step by step from the dirty corridor.

"I'm sorry! We're late. The two soldiers looked at the residents rushing to the corridor and stood in the rain and raised their hands in salute.

Behind them was a helicopter with a flag attached, and the scorching light emitted by the flag broke into the eyes of the residents through the deep rain curtain, instantly making them red-eyed.

The skinny old man squeezed out a smile and shouted that it was not easy for them: "It's okay, it's good that you're here." ”

Before the extreme heat was cut off from the grid, they knew that it was not only Suishi that was affected, but the entire country and even the world.

Natural disasters are uncontrollable, and the power of nature is also difficult for ordinary people to resist, so how can sensible residents blame the state? And how can they blame the soldiers who run for them?

"How is the state arranged now?" Someone rushed to the front, eager to see what the future holds.

The soldier replied: "The superior has decided to send a boat to pick you up at 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow to take you to the shelter in Nanshan." ”

They give a general picture of the situation.

Those who live in shelters need to work in exchange for food and shelter, including daily necessities.

As soon as they heard that they were going to work, some groups who were used to grabbing materials were not very happy, so they immediately raised their hands: "Do we have to go?" ”

"It's all voluntary." The soldier glanced at the thin man in the crowd, and continued: "The ship sent by the superior will stay for an hour, please pack your luggage in advance." ”

With that, they hurried away.

Seeing the helicopter heading to the next building, the residents who were willing to go to Nanshan went home with joy to inform their relatives.

People on the 26th floor gather for a meeting.

"Are we still working on our plans?" Yao Chengwei leaned forward, and his eyes were full of the words "I want to break up".

"Why not?" Yuan Chuan held a cigarette and looked at him like a fool: "Do you think that group of turtle grandsons will let us go?" ”

As soon as the residents leave, who else can the robbers rob?

With their way of doing things, they will definitely snatch the daily necessities they need in the future before the arrival of official ships.

Zhao Peng replied for him: "No." He patted Yao Chengwei on the shoulder and cheered up: "For the sake of the great cause, you can bear with it again." ”

“…… Okay. ”

After chatting about this, Chi Yue's eyes wandered over the three of them, mentioning her plan: "Qi Zhou and I are going to Lincheng to find relatives, and we won't leave with you the day after tomorrow." ”

Yuan Chuan suspected that he had misheard: "Lincheng? Lincheng is more than 500 kilometers away from here, how can the two of you get there? ”

"Boating."

"Are you crazy?"

Zhao Peng calculated the distance: "Suppose you row at a speed of 1 hour and 10 kilometers, you will also have to row for 50 hours. ”

"I know." Chi Yue couldn't say that they would change the assault boat halfway, and paddled by hand by default: "But we have to go." ”

The three fell silent.

They can understand each other's eagerness to find their relatives, and they can't dissuade them, but they are about to part, and they have a lot of reluctance.

Thinking back to getting along recently, Yao Chengwei had pantothenic acid on the tip of his nose, and choked up: "Brother Zhou, you take good care of Sister Yue, if you have the opportunity in the future, I will come to you." ”

"Hmm." Hearing the warm voice of the prayer boat, he responded.

Seeing the tears glistening in his eyes, he sighed slightly and handed him a tissue: "We will definitely meet again." ”

They say "later" and "definitely", but everyone knows that everything is unknown.

"Alright." Yuan Chuan saw that the two of them were so sensational, and he didn't feel good in his heart: "Let's go home and pack our luggage first." ”

He snuffed out his cigarette butt, glanced at Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou with mixed emotions, pursed his lips, and didn't say anything.

But they knew that he was even more reluctant.
