Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 22
After moving these things, she packed up all the clothes in the house, whether they were the ones she was wearing now or the old ones from earlier years, and brought them into Taoyuan. The family still kept the quilts that Joe's father and mother got when they got married. Cotton, the thickness and weight, most people probably haven't seen it before, and some bedding and pillowcases bought and distributed later, Qiao Mi put them all into Taoyuan without hesitation.

When she came out of the house, she basically emptied the house. When she left the house, she went straight to the only military store here. After weighing the money in her hand, she bought two sets of military winter clothes for the whole family. Qiao Miwei finally She was satisfied with the pair of cotton shoes. Thinking of putting more warm things into the shoes when it was cold, she changed the size of the shoes to two sizes bigger, and then left with her hands full.

The military coat was too bulky, and being tied to the back seat of the motorcycle hindered her from driving, so she had no choice but to turn into a deserted alley and put all her things in Taoyuan.

Seeing that there was still some time, she turned to Jiadian Street to look at the generator. Unfortunately, they are in a small county where there are no solar panels, but there are gasoline and diesel. In addition, Qiao Miwei also saw a small wind turbine. However, the yard of her house has been wrapped tightly and is not ventilated, so it cannot be installed. Qiao Miwei is worried about installing it outside. I am afraid that the leaves will not be able to withstand the earthquake and hail, but I bought an oil-burning power generator. The generator still needs to store oil. After thinking about it over and over again, she finally decided not to buy the generator, and used the money to buy coal.

Seeing that it was almost three o'clock, she found a small restaurant to have lunch and dinner to fill up her already deflated stomach, and then rode a small motorcycle to Wujia Village. The speed of a motorcycle was incomparable to that of a car. Yes, she refueled the motorcycle on the way. After all, it was a borrowed car. The owner said that she didn’t need it. So after such a toss, it was already past six o'clock when I got home.

Qiao Bin and Chen Xuehua had been playing with the garden at home all day. When Qiao Miwei came back, their hands and feet were covered in mud, but the rest of the backyard had been dug up. Qiao Miwei was very surprised. Not the small yard in the front yard!She hurried to the backyard to inspect it, not to mention, the land was indeed much smoother than hers.

Qiao Miwei looked back at the state of the two of them again, fearing that they would be tired from working too much all of a sudden, but seeing their energy, let alone tired, I'm afraid they haven't done enough yet.

As soon as Chen Xuehua saw Qiao Miwei come back, she asked for the seeds from her, but of course Qiao Miwei wouldn't give them. The two of them are so old and haven't worked like this for some years. If they are really tired, it won't be worth it.

As soon as Qiao Bin heard what his daughter wanted, he simply put down the tools in his hand, fetched water and washed his hands.

Chen Xuehua had no choice but to give up, but her mind was still on the garden, thinking about what to plant. Qiao Miwei had been running around for a day, and now she was a little hungry. She went to the kitchen to cook some noodles for herself to fill her stomach. Seeing that she was devouring the food, Chen Xuehua couldn't help muttering, "How can such a big person be so worrying? Look at what time it is, and I haven't eaten yet."

Qiao Mi smiled slightly after hearing this, "Mom, I went out to contact coal today. If there is a letter in two days, our family should have coal."

"Coal? It's too early to buy at this time, so don't worry." After Chen Xuehua finished speaking, he asked again, "I've got in touch? How much is a ton?"

Qiao Miwei said, "It's too early to contact me just now. The other party said to contact me first. I'll wait for the call in two days. I want the best one. It's probably five or six hundred."

Chen Xuehua nodded and said, "This money cannot be saved. There is a big difference between good coal and bad coal. One ton of good coal can be as much as two tons of poor coal."

After Qiao Miwei heard this, the heartache in her heart was relieved a lot. In this way, her twenty tons can burn longer.

After eating, Qiao Miwei boiled some hot water with a newly built small pot, took a shower, and said she wanted to go back to her room to sleep. After closing the door, she hurried into Taoyuan, fearing that those rice seedlings would She was too dry to plant. She had already seen how to transplant rice seedlings on the Internet before, but when it was her turn, Qiao Mi was a little dumbfounded. Most of the rice was grown by throwing rice seedlings. The seedlings planted in this way will grow more vigorously and survive easily. But the difficulty lies in throwing the word. Qiao Miwei has adjusted the strength, angle and direction several times, and the seedlings are still thrown by her. However, she strictly followed the method taught in the video, and now she dare not step forward. Helped one by one, endured and endured before giving up, comforting myself that if this year does not come out next year, I will honestly plant one by one.

After washing her hands and feet, she came out of Taoyuan. As soon as she lay down on the bed, she felt pain all over her body, but she couldn't help worrying about whether those seedlings would survive.

But Taoyuan is her biggest secret. She would rather all the seedlings die than reveal even a little bit of information. The old method, but the land probably needs to be fertilized, but she doesn't want to use the fertilizer bought outside, it seems that she can only choose to use farm manure. Just as she sighed that farming is difficult, she heard a loud noise outside .

boom! ! !
Qiao Mi shivered slightly in fright, and quickly got up and went out. When she pushed the door to go out, just as Qiao's father and mother came out of the room, Chen Xuehua asked, "What's the sound?"

Qiao Bin walked out first, "It sounds like thunder."

Qiao Miwei's expression was subtle. When he walked to the gate, the three of them looked out through the crack of the door. The dark clouds in the sky were rolling endlessly, and the strong wind seemed to appear suddenly, whistling directly, and then they saw the mountain opposite their house. A purple lightning bolt as thick as an arm shot out from the thick clouds, and struck the mountain with a click.

Click! ! !
Qiao Miwei looked from a distance as if a tree had been felled on the opposite mountain, and then another thunder roared through the sky.

boom!Bang! ! !
The sound was so loud that even the eardrums felt a little uncomfortable. Qiao Miwei took the two's arms, "Go back, the thunder is too loud."

Chen Xuehua's heart felt a little bad, and she was startled by two loud thunders in succession, and her heart started beating a little. Qiao Miwei hurriedly supported her to walk back, "Mom, are you okay?"

Chen Xuehua shook his head, "It's okay, just take a rest."

The three of them hadn't reached the door when the big rain fell on the glass cover of the roof. In less than half a minute, the rain fell like a basin, and the three of Qiao's family stood At the door, looking at the rain silently, Chen Xuehua asked in a low voice after a while, "Is this the rain you mentioned?"

Qiao Miwei nodded heavily, "Yes."

Chen Xuehua didn't speak, and entered the room silently. Qiao Miwei poured hot water from the thermos and took medicine for her and put it on the tea table.

Qiao Bin originally wanted to turn on the TV to watch, but because the thunder and lightning were too scary, she gave up. Qiao Miwei sat in the house for a while, then got up and went to the yard. She looked around the house, and she felt a little satisfied. Sure enough, the glass cover was not in vain, and there were no leaks anywhere.

However, the chickens and ducks in the backyard seemed to be quite frightened. They seemed a little restless and noisy at this moment. Daluo took another cabbage, chopped it up and threw it to them.

After thinking for a while, he prepared the feed and filled the food bowl. After eating, these guys stopped. Qiao Miwei observed for a while, and then went back to the room in peace.

It had only been raining for half an hour, and some low-lying places outside their house had already started to accumulate water, gradually converging into a small stream, flowing and converging along the low-lying terrain, gradually forming puddles, and then forming ponds.

In the evening, no one was in the mood to cook, so they crowded to the gate to observe the heavy rain outside. At this time, the heavy rain was no different from a waterfall, and it felt like the sky had leaked a hole and water was pouring down directly from above.

Boom! ! !
The thunders followed one after another, accompanied by the purple-black lightning, as if they wanted to split the whole world.

Qiao Mi looked at it for a while, then quietly went back to her room and started cooking. Although she knew that the end of the world had begun, she couldn't be negative. She had made so many preparations, wouldn't it be worth living unhappy.

Her Barabara refrigerator, the last time I invited the whole village to dinner, the big pig was not all used up, and there was still a lot of good food left. At this time, what she was looking at were the big bones that had been picked out. Anyway, it was raining heavily outside. There was nothing they could do, so they might as well make a big bone noodle meal. Thinking of the thick soup, Qiao Miwei's saliva was flooding.

She took out the bag containing the big bones, picked out the bones with large pieces of meat, took a new ax from Taoyuan to cut off the bones, and took out a piece of fungus from the dry goods bought two days ago. Soak the water and prepare the ginger and garlic. She turned on the induction cooker and boiled a pot of hot water to blanch the big bones, then poured out the water, washed the pot and poured oil on it. When the oil was warm, add ginger and garlic until fragrant, then added Stir-fry dark soy sauce, rice wine and oyster sauce, then pour in the big bones and continue to stir-fry, the aroma begins to come out, Qiao Mi inhales slightly, it is so fragrant.

The frying is almost done, turn off the fire, turn on the pressure cooker and pour the stir-fried big bones in, and go to the living room to get the thermos pot, and from the corner of the eye, she saw Qiao's father and mother Qiao still lying at the gate watching the rain, she turned and went back to the kitchen, Add half a pot of water to the pressure cooker and pour some into the pot where the vegetables were cooked just now, shake the soup base and pour it into the pressure cooker, then add the ready-made broth, sugar, anise, pepper, cinnamon, bay leaves, and Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Here I took out the panel again, thought for a while, took a rice bowl from the cupboard, and took a basin, opened a bag of new noodles in the warehouse in the backyard, filled two bowls of noodles, and added another half bowl after thinking about it , eat this, her stomach will get bigger, so add more noodles to save enough food.
