Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 122 Banquet for Qiao Ming's Family

After a while, Qiao Yixue, who had been scrubbed clean, came out. Because the room was very warm, she was only wearing thin autumn clothes and long johns. The thin and soft fabric outlined a beautiful curve. Hair, while walking towards Han Cuihua, "Mom, I've finished washing, you go and wash, the water will be cold in a while."

Han Cuihua looked at her daughter's face. Although she had been living a life of ups and downs during this period of time, her daughter's small face had become thinner, but her beauty was not diminished at all. If that young man Qin Zhiyuan saw his daughter like this, I'm afraid It's hard not to be tempted, she took Qiao Yixue's hand and let her sit next to her, picked out the clothes on the table and said, "Here are the cotton coats that your uncle brought over, go try and see which one fits you well."

Qiao Yixue put the towel on the chair beside her, pushed Han Cuihua and said, "Got it, go take a shower quickly, the water will be cold when it's Dad's turn."

Han Cuihua's mind is now full of thinking about how to dress up her daughter beautifully under limited conditions, so as to attract the attention of Qin Zhiyuan. How can she be in the mood to take a bath? She turned her head and said to Qiao Ming, "You wash first. Come on, I'll take a break."

Qiao Ming had no objection, so he casually picked up a men's overcoat and went into the inner room. Han Cuihua got up and walked behind Qiao Yixue, and used his fingers as a wooden comb to help Qiao Yixue comb her hair, "Fortunately, your hair is not at all fine." It’s not affected, it’s still so dark and bright.”

Qiao Yixue grabbed a handful of hair and frowned, "Mom, I want to cut my hair. The conditions are not good now, and my long hair is really in the way."

Han Cuihua raised his hand and patted the back of her hand, "Nonsense, how important is a woman's hair, you don't understand, men have long hair, you can't cut it, listen to the mother."

Knowing that her mother would definitely not agree with her haircut, Qiao Yixue sighed silently and said, "Okay, if you don't cut it, you don't cut it."

Han Cuihua lay on Qiao Yixue's shoulder and asked softly, "What do you think of that young man Qin Zhiyuan you saw today?"

Qiao Yixue tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Cousin's boyfriend?"

Han Cuihua responded perfunctorily, and asked again, "It's him, what do you think?"

"It's pretty good." Qiao Yixue thought she was asking about her opinion of her cousin's boyfriend, but she just saw her twice today, and she didn't even say anything, so she couldn't tell if it was good or not.

Han Cuihua mistakenly thought that her daughter thought this young man was good, so she pushed Qiao Yixue's shoulder, "You think he is good too?"

Qiao Yixue was pushed by Han Cuihua, and immediately realized what she meant by asking. She brushed Han Cuihua's hand away, turned around and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? That's my cousin's boyfriend."

Han Cuihua rolled her eyes at Qiao Yixue, "Silly girl, they are just boyfriend and girlfriend, and the most difficult thing to control in this world is feelings. If he sees you and finds that you are better than your cousin, he will turn around and pursue you."

After hearing this, Qiao Yixue raised her head and prepared to refute, Han Cuihua quickly raised her palms, and said again and again, "Okay, Mom won't say anything, in fact, I just remind you, this young man is good, if you see each other right in the future, don't worry about your cousin , Feelings are innocent, understand?"

Qiao Yixue nodded reluctantly, Qin Zhiyuan?What appeared in her mind was a tall man with an upright face and a very energetic face. As for the others, she could only shake her head, but thinking of Qin Zhiyuan's status and the hardships she had suffered along the way , She bit her lower lip lightly, her mood began to waver.

At this time, the curtain of the inner room was lifted, and Qiao Ming came out fully dressed. He said to Han Cuihua, "Hurry up and wash, the water is going to be cold."

Han Cuihua didn't want to take a cold shower either, so he grabbed his clothes and hurried into the inner room.

There is an earth kang in this room, although it is not big enough to sleep three people, Qiao Yixue spread the other two sets of quilts on the kang, and turned to ask Qiao Ming, "Dad, this bed is cold, what should I do?"

Qiao Ming pointed to the door of another small room and said, "The firewood is there. I checked it just now. You pull out a bundle."

Qiao Yixue nodded, and went to the small room. There were no windows or lights inside, and it was very dim. She squinted her eyes for a long time before she could see the inside clearly. As expected, there were all firewood here, but they all looked dirty. , she grabbed a straw with her fingers and pulled it lightly, the bundle of firewood only moved slightly, she found that if she didn’t reach out, she couldn’t pull the bundle of firewood away, but she was afraid that her palm would be cut by the firewood , and was afraid that the smoke and dust from the firewood would cover her all over, she held her hair with one hand and pinched her waist with the other to stand where she was.

Qiao Ming walked around the house before finding the lighter, but after waiting for a long time, Xueer did not bring any firewood. He called out, "Xueer? Is there no firewood in there?"

Qiao Yixue quickly agreed, "Yes, I'll get it right away." She grabbed a few firewoods with one hand and awkwardly pulled the firewood out of the small room. After walking a few steps, the bundle of firewood fell apart, and she let out a cry of disappointment. Sigh, "Ah!"

Seeing her posture, Qiao Ming hurried forward to take the firewood, bent down and hugged the firewood and walked to the kang, Qiao Yixue followed him step by step, and waited for Qiao Ming to throw the firewood on the ground. She quickly reached out to pat Qiao Ming's clothes, "Dad, these clothes are all dirty."

Qiao Ming sighed, "It's the same with doing farm work. If everyone takes firewood like you do, everyone won't have to do anything."

Qiao Yixue was dissatisfied. Before the end of the world, her ability was not weak, and she could be ranked high in a large company. She just didn't want to do it, it's not that she couldn't do it.

At this time, Han Cuihua, who was taking a bath in the room, came out and just heard what Qiao Ming said. She retorted, "What age is this? How can any girl know how to do farm work? Even the little girls in the countryside don't work anymore. My son is going to marry a high official in the future, so he still needs to learn to do farm work?"

Qiao Ming snorted, "What era? Go back to the era before liberation overnight, stop daydreaming, and wait to starve to death after you are not self-reliant." He bent down and stuffed firewood into the kang, and then Greet Qiao Yixue and watch how he ignites the fire. When the bundle of firewood burns out, the kang will be heated up. For those who have been wandering outside for several months, the kang at this time is too attractive. Han Cuihua and Qiao Yixue got on the earth kang one after another, and stretched their legs under the quilt, "Wow, I didn't expect the earth kang in the countryside to be so warm and comfortable."

The heat engulfed the three of them, and their eyelids became heavy after a while. They yawned and got under the covers. There were still a few hours before dinner, which was enough for them to have a good night's sleep.

At about five o'clock in the evening, Qiao's mother sent Sun Ying to ask Qiao Ming's family to have dinner. The three of Qiao Ming were still sleeping soundly in bed. Sun Ying stood at the door and yelled several times before waking them up. Someone told him to get up and go out to have a look. Sun Ying looks very much like Sun Mazi, but even after so many years, Qiao Ming still recognized Sun Ying at a glance. At this time, Han Cuihua and Qiao Yixue also got up, and they met After introducing each other, Sun Ying said that the food was ready over there, and told them to get dressed and go over there.

Qiao Ming's family had no objection, they felt that they were full of sleep, but they were hungry, and the three of them didn't talk much, so they quickly put on the thick coat that Qiao's mother had sent them, and followed Sun Ying out.

Originally, they thought they would go to another cellar after leaving this cellar, but they actually entered a house directly. Although the surrounding courtyard walls had collapsed, they could still see the original scale and the firmness of the whole house.

Han Cuihua looked at the well-preserved house and clicked his tongue. Along the way, they saw a lot of devastation. There are too few complete buildings like this. In such a house, the four of them entered the house after walking past the collapsed courtyard wall. They thought the house would be much warmer than the outside, but when they came in, a gust of shady cold wind hit their faces, making the three of them shiver. Ming couldn't help asking, "Da Ying, isn't your uncle's family living a hard life?"

Sun Ying didn't understand, so he shook his head and said, "It's not bad, considering the current situation, it's pretty good."

Qiao Ming thought of the women who were in good condition at the base just now, and he sighed secretly in his heart. After this meal, he should find that guy named Qin Zhiyuan, find a job for himself as soon as possible, so that he can integrate into it as soon as possible. In this base, try not to drag the eldest brother's family down.

Sun Ying led the three of them through the living room, walked around into the kitchen, and walked directly to the cellar entrance. He said, "Here we are." Then he went down the cellar first.

Qiao Ming looked down and said, "Oh, it turned out that he lived underground. He followed Sun Ying's footsteps. The temperature rose as he went down. When his whole body was down, he even felt the hot air hit his face. This temperature is probably ten degrees hotter than that at the base. How much firewood does it need to burn.

Seeing the three of Qiao Ming approaching, Mother Qiao got up and said, "Are you sleeping well? Are you hungry? The food is ready, let's go to the table and eat. We are all family members. Don't be restrained. Order as you like."

Since Han Cuihua and Qiao Yixue entered the cellar, their eyes have been fixed on the dining table. Although there is not a single piece of minced meat on the table, they are all real home-cooked dishes. They can't remember how long they haven't eaten like this It's home-cooked dishes, one by one, the good guy has six dishes!

Father Qiao had already sat in the main seat, and finally spoke at this moment, pointing to the seat next to him, and said, "Sit down, life is hard now, I wanted to get more good food, but unfortunately it can only be done to this extent, you guys Don’t be disgusted, just eat as much as you can.”

Han Cuihua pulled Qiao Yixue to sit next to Qiao Ming, and Qiao's father invited everyone to come to the table, and then introduced to the people on both sides. Qiao Yixue's appearance was shown in front of Qiao's family for the first time, and everyone looked at Qiao Yi for a while. Xue looked at Qiao Miwei again, and couldn't help admiring in her heart. If this sister flower stood in front of others, it would definitely shine in front of her eyes. Spring flowers and autumn moons each have their own advantages.
