Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 13 Preparation
Qiao Miwei looked at the photos over and over again, racked his brains to think about the house, and muttered incessantly, "The courtyard wall must be changed, not only to be taller but also to be thicker, and the gate must also be changed. The upper part of the courtyard is best." Pull up the barbed wire and put a transparent canopy inside, which can not only block the sun, but also withstand the raging rain and hail. Well, the doors, windows and roof of the house must also be reinforced. It seems that it is best to hire a better decoration team , ask the other party to take a look. Wait..., do we still need to dig a hole under the house? In case there is a more serious disaster in half a year, we won’t be caught off guard!" Thinking about it like this, Qiao Miwei felt a little confused Da, even though she got the dream warning, in order to survive in the last days, she has to do her best to make all kinds of preparations, but how much will it cost to meet these requirements?

Qiao Miwei's brows were directly knotted. While counting the money in his hand, he was thinking about other places to be repaired. After counting, he couldn't help biting his fingers and sighing, money, money, why can't help spending it so much.

She couldn't help but spend money to renovate the house. She also wanted to buy a diesel generator, and she would have to prepare a lot of diesel at that time. Thinking of this, Qiao Miwei almost cried.

Feeling that his mental state was not right, Qiao Miwei quickly patted his cheeks, took out his notebook and recorded everything he just thought of, so as not to miss anything, stopped writing, Qiao Miwei kissed with hatred and love Notebook, sighed, "You spend money!"

After putting away her things, Qiao Mi fell asleep in a daze. She woke up naturally at five o'clock in the morning. Open the door of Taoyuan, go in and continue digging.

Although the paddy field has been stopped for two days, but because she always digs twice whenever she has time, she is almost done digging now. Qiao Mi took a look at it and thought that if she worked harder at this time, maybe it would be the next morning. It can be done.

She imitated the movements of those working people she had seen on TV, blew two breaths into her palms, then grabbed the shovel and started working with enthusiasm.

Getting rid of distracting thoughts in her mind, Qiao Miwei just stared at the pit under her feet, shoveling the soil with each shovel. Unexpectedly, after seven o'clock, the remaining corner of the rice field was actually dug by her. The sweat on her forehead, she rested for a while, and opened a ditch between the rice field and the river. The ditch was shallow at first, but the water stopped after a while. She had to deepen the ditch again. The water flow finally became smooth. She looked at it for a while and put the shovel aside. She took off her clothes and took a bath in the river. The hot body temperature from digging the hole dropped instantly, and Qiao Mi hummed comfortably. twice.

After the rice fields were filled with water, Qiao Miwei filled the ditch with soil and came out of Taoyuan. Looking at the alarm clock next to the bed, it was already 07:30. She checked the mirror and saw that there was no evidence of crime. Just pushed the door out.

Mother Qiao had already prepared breakfast, and the old man always woke up earlier, so Qiao Miwei never competed with Mother Qiao to make breakfast at home.

At the dinner table, Father Qiao asked, "Is there anything going on today?"

Qiao Mi shook her head slightly, then nodded again, "By the way, I asked Wu Xiaohui to go shopping." She lied again, but because she ran too hard these two days, she found excuses one after another, but seeing that there was not much time left , she had to bite the bullet and continue to lie.

Father Qiao also became suspicious, nodded and said, "It's fine to go out for a walk, it's exercise anyway."

Mother Qiao instructed, "Don't wear anything under the thick coat. I saw the weather forecast yesterday and it's starting to get warmer in the past two days."

Qiao Mi nodded slightly, but this was not what she was thinking about. It was getting warmer, that is, it was spring sowing. It seemed that she had to speed up her pace.

After breakfast, she cleaned up the kitchen, dressed and went out. She took a taxi and went straight to the building materials market. First, she took the ordered barbed wire fence, which was three big rolls. Qiao Miwei would definitely not be able to take it by herself. The person said, "You can help me send it there, and send it to the warehouse with a blue shed behind the vegetable market. Send it to the back door. If there is no one, you don't have to wait and just throw the things away. I will call someone to open the door." .”

The employer didn't have any objection to the merchant's request. After greeting the two guys, they loaded the goods into the pickup truck and drove away. Qiao Miwei paid the money and made a detour, waited out the alley, took a taxi and After going up, she got out of the car next to the warehouse, and when she saw the pickup truck abducted again, she hurried in.

She has known this warehouse since she was a child, and she has never been here to play. She knows that the back door is usually closed, so she is very relieved that the other party throws things here, and this is a dead end. Only the back of this warehouse is open here. , There are also more guarantees in terms of safety.

The three bundles of barbed wire lay quietly in front of the back door. She looked back to see if anyone was there, and after making sure it was safe, she stretched out her hand and pushed open the gate connecting to Taoyuan, dragging them in bundle by bundle.

Then he rushed out quickly, closed the door, clapped his hands, and walked out as if nothing happened.

After finishing all this, she turned back to the farmer's market. The farmer's market in their county is also divided into pieces. Half of the outside is a vegetable market, and the inside is a living market. There are all kinds of things sold in it. Qiao Miwei came here to buy chickens Baby, but as she walked, Qiao Miwei found that something was wrong with this season, because she didn't see anyone selling chicken at all, so she lost her mind for a while. Fortunately, she still remembered that there seemed to be a large-scale chicken shop in the suburbs. She thought that there would be chickens for sale there. Thinking of this, she hurried out, stopped the car and went straight to her destination.

Sure enough, as she expected, there is indeed a large chicken farm here. As soon as she entered, she found the guard and reported her intention. The guard called the farm manager directly. This chicken farm is a family business and came to discuss business with her. It was the hostess of the family. The other party was surprised when she heard that she wanted to buy chickens. She took a closer look at Qiao Miwei and was sure that this girl must be a ignorant person, but who cares if you know how to do business? , she replied with a smile, "I haven't heard of anyone coming to buy chickens at this time, girl, why don't you just wait a little longer, what do you want when they hatch from our side?"

Qiao Miwei was embarrassed when she knew that she got the season wrong. She nodded and reported her phone number, and asked by the way, "If I want to buy some ducks and geese, do you have them here?"

The hostess was amused, "Girl, you really found the right place, have you seen that mountain?"

Qiao Mi slightly followed the hostess' hand and turned her head, nodded, "I see."

The hostess's expression was showing off, "We also took over that mountain last year. We plan to expand the scale of the place. Don't talk about ducks and geese, I also have piglets."

Qiao Miwei was immediately happy when he heard that, "That's good, I want a few piglets too, if only there are sheep."

The hostess thought for a while and said, "I don't have sheep, but my relatives raise sheep. If you want them, I will ask my relatives to bring them to you when you come next time. How many sheep do you want?"

Qiao Miwei said, "Five piglets, four females, one male, and ten sheep. Of course, there must be a male."

The hostess laughed and said, "The little girl still knows how to have a male and female, okay, no problem, just give me a call, and I will call you when our chickens hatch."

Qiao Miwei immediately said, "I think we need forty chickens, ducks, and geese for the time being."

The hostess waved her hand, "Not much, no problem, just bring the cage to pick it up."

Since the hostess was so straightforward, the two of them settled the matter after a while. When Qiao Miwei returned, she checked that there was still enough time for her to go to the decoration team to discuss how to modify the house in Wujiacun.

Their house was renovated a few years ago. At that time, she knew a little about how to find a construction team. Now it is easier to find a way. Sure enough, she found a decoration team soon after returning to the county. Although The scale is not very large, but the price is reasonable. Qiao Miwei doesn't have too much money for her to squander. Every penny of her must be spent wisely. Otherwise, if any of the items in her plan are not completed , and she doesn't want to see any accidents happen in the last days.

The contractor is a very simple and honest man. He first looked at the photos Qiao Miwei stored on his phone. Although he thought the house didn’t need much modification, since the client asked them to do so, that’s all. .

Qiao Mi flipped through the photos and thought for a while and asked, "Is it feasible if I want to build a steel bar cover on top of the house?"

The contractor looked at Qiao Miwei suspiciously, "Can you describe it in detail?"

Qiao Miwei raised her hands to cover the place in front of her, as if that was her house, "It is to build a steel frame roof on the courtyard wall to cover the whole house."

After all, the contractor has taken over a lot of projects. As soon as Qiao Miwei finished speaking, he understood the meaning. Although it was the first time he met someone who wanted to build a house like this, it is not impossible to fulfill this request, "Yes, yes, steel bar The skeleton of the structure, coupled with the theory of tempered glass walls, is no problem, but is it necessary to do this for a house in a village?"

Qiao Mi smiled and said, "This is my personal hobby. In addition, I also want to thicken and heighten the three walls and modify the gate. I want to build a row of warehouses behind the house. If possible, I also want to dig A cellar."

The foreman looked at her in the wrong way, but he still thought carefully about Qiao Miwei's proposal with the idea that the customer is God, and after thinking about it for a long time, he nodded decisively, "Yes, but because there are some problems in the project. Outside of the scope we discussed in advance, there may be a few more days in terms of time, and in terms of price, I think we need to change it."

"No problem, as long as the quality of the project passes the standard, other aspects can be discussed."
