After the disaster

According to Zhou Quan, he thought that his time was short, but this time he came out, and he didn't know if he could go back.

Before going out, the family property has been disposed of, and some daily necessities, clothes, bedding, etc. have also been packed and sent to the orphanage in the city. Now it can be said that I am alone.

Qiu Cheng also knew that there was a boy named Zhou Quan in the family where his mother married. He was good-looking, with a good personality and good academic performance. He could play guitar and piano, and he won prizes in competitions.

These are what Qiu Cheng heard from his mother when he was on the phone with his mother before, but at that time, Qiu Cheng was alone and helpless. He heard his mother say that another boy was very good on the phone, and always It's not a taste, and I also have some faint hostility towards the boy I haven't seen, and I also have resentment towards that family.

Now, time has passed and the previous generation is gone. The outside world seems to be thriving, but in fact it is surging.

At this time, when his life was about to come to an end, Zhou Quan came to Xinnan City with his mother's message. Qiu Cheng looked at the big boy in front of him, and the hostility and resentment that had been hidden in his heart before him disappeared. I can't find it anymore.

"Since you have nowhere to go, you can help me first." At the end of the conversation, Qiu Cheng said so.

That night, Zhou Quan and Qiu Cheng Achang had a meal of stir-fried dumplings together. Although the stir-fried dumplings were still made of cornmeal, the ingredients were very finely made. The warm stir-fried dumplings were served with oily and sour soup. , very tasty.

Zhou Quan was still a little cautious at the beginning, but later he saw that Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang were both eating big bowls, and after eating one bowl, they filled another bowl. So he let go, opened his belly and ate a big bowl of mixed dumplings.

After the meal, Qiu Cheng placed Zhou Quan in 1407. Among the seven houses purchased a few days ago, 1407 was one of the few houses that had been simply decorated. It was not paved, but a simple leveling was done.

Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang went out together for a while. Somehow, they dismantled a plank bed that seemed to be of good quality and came back. , Zhou Quan slept in 1407.

That night, when Qiu Cheng came out of his samadhi, he saw Ah Chang lying listlessly on the cushion beside him, his chin on the floor, looking listless, almost drooping his ears.

"Go to bed." Qiu Cheng patted him on the back.

"Hmm." Ah Chang replied weakly, turned over on the floor, and turned directly off the mat, but didn't get up and went into the bedroom.

Just when Qiu Cheng entered meditation, the cat man ran into the bedroom and looked in the mirror for a long time. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the boy next door seemed to be a bit better-looking than himself.

This made Ah Chang feel very discouraged. Before he met Qiu Cheng, he had observed those flying in the sky and running on the ground, especially seeing the experience of the old cat in his eyes. Ah Chang knew that between males The competition is fierce...

"What are you thinking about again?" Qiu Cheng got up and poured himself a glass of water, then looked back at Ah Chang who was still lying on the ground.

"..." Ah Chang whimpered for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Don't you like Zhou Quan?" Qiu Cheng asked him.

"Hmph." Ah Chang snorted lightly, neither admitting nor denying it.

"Then do you like the Wang family?" Qiu Cheng asked him again.

"Yeah." Ah Chang really likes the Wang family.

"Think their house is fun?" Qiu Cheng squatted on the floor next to Ah Chang with a water glass in his hand, looking down at him with a smile.

"Yeah." Ah Chang lay on the floor, looking up at Qiu Cheng's eyes, the eyes that were wandering at first, but the moment they met Qiu Cheng's eyes, they couldn't move away.

"Do you know why the Wang family is so fun?" Qiu Cheng reached out and stroked his slightly long hair recently.

"Why?" Ah Chang narrowed his eyes slightly under Qiu Cheng's touch.

"Because they have a lot of family members." Qiu Cheng said, "Think about it, Wang Chengliang has two older brothers and one older sister, and Afeng and Alei. How many younger brothers and sisters do they have in total?"

"..." Ah Chang didn't speak, he didn't quite understand what Qiu Cheng said had anything to do with Zhou Quan.

"My mother is also Zhou Quan's mother. Speaking of which, he can be considered my younger brother." Qiu Cheng said with a smile.

In the conversation with Zhou Quan just now, Qiu Cheng seemed to be able to find the shadow of the woman through the actions and expressions of the big boy. When she first married into that family, the boy was still very young, like seven years old Still eight years old?

"Brother?" Ah Chang's expression was a little blank.

"Yes." Qiu Cheng said, leaned over and kissed Ah Chang on the lips: "Now I know, don't think about it, go to sleep." He got up, put the water glass on the tea table, and turned to go to bed. Go to the bedroom.

"..." Ah Chang touched his burning ears, turned over and got up from the floor, and followed Qiu Cheng step by step into the room.

The next morning, when Qiu Cheng was still meditating, Ah Chang went directly to the fifteenth floor at 1406, finished all the farm work that he had to do every morning, and took a shower for himself, and then he was in a good mood. He returned to Qiu Cheng refreshed.

As soon as he got down on the mat, Ah Chang looked up at the opposite wall, thought for a while, got up and went to the bathroom, went to the mirror, and straightened his curly hair again and again. If it is not smooth, turn on the tap and dip some water to wipe it off.

Ah Chang stepped on the sink, leaned forward, put his whole face in front of the mirror, concentrated on working for a long time, and finally finished the image arrangement, took two steps back, and finally looked in the mirror again After taking the photo, I felt more satisfied in my heart, and planned to go out to meet Qiu Cheng's samadhi.

Just when he turned around to leave the bathroom, Ah Chang glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a big footprint on the sink, so he folded it back, pulled a piece of toilet paper, wiped the footprint, and finally He went out as if nothing had happened.

When Qiu Cheng came out of the meditation this morning, he still saw the clean and energetic cat man.

Qiu Cheng cooked a pot of white porridge, took out the buns he made yesterday from the refrigerator and steamed them for breakfast, and called Zhou Quan next door to come and eat them together.

Zhou Quan ate a piece of "Jiebaidu" yesterday, ate and drank enough at Qiu Cheng's house, and had a good night's sleep. After one night, he seemed to be a little more angry than yesterday, but he also seemed to be more angry than yesterday. More restrained.

Zhou Quan may not understand it when he was a child, but when he grows up a little bit, he will gradually understand some things.In the past, he and his father made selfish choices for themselves and showed an attitude of unwillingness to accept Qiu Cheng, so they failed to become a family.

When his mother first came to their home, she also worked hard for it. Sometimes she would tell her how he had an older brother in Xinnan City. He was just an ignorant and selfish child at that time. All he knew was that he instinctively rejected him, and his father was naturally on his side.

When he grew up a little later and gradually learned to be considerate of others, no one in the family talked about it anymore.

Later he heard that Qiu Cheng bought a house next to Xinnan University. His mother was very happy that day, and carefully put the note with the address and phone number into the tin box, and said that he would take Zhou Quan there in the future. look at him.

Later, the mother left, and the father left the tin box with guilt, and later, the father also left, leaving him alone, still keeping the tin box.

This time, when he sent the tin box over, he never imagined that things would turn out like this.

"Let's eat, and work with us after eating." Seeing that the child was not letting go, Qiu Cheng stretched out his hand to hold a bun for him.

"..." Ah Chang paused for a while while drawing porridge, and looked up at Qiu Cheng.

"You eat too, eat more." Qiu Cheng took two for him.

"!" Ah Chang was happy now, picked up a bun and took a big bite, and within a few bites, he ate up the two buns.

After breakfast, Qiu Cheng brought Ah Chang and Zhou Quan to work on the 1402th floor. The empty rooms that he bought a few days ago will now be tidied up slowly. If they become a pharmacy like [-], Usually do not need to spend a lot of time and energy to manage.

No matter what these rooms are used for planting, the waterproof treatment of the ground needs to be done in the same way, and the mirrors on the walls also need to be installed. In the next few days, Qiu Cheng and the others will do all this.

After a few days, Qiu Cheng had a good impression of Zhou Quan. He worked hard and didn't talk much.

Qiu Cheng took him to the Wang family, and the adults and children of the Wang family liked him very much. Speaking of which, Zhou Quan was only a few years older than Afeng and Alei of the Wang family, but he was much more mature than them, and he was no different from those children. How to play it.

So far, Qiu Cheng has only asked him to help work in the empty rooms on the fourteenth floor. Regarding the secret of the Spirit Gathering Formation, Qiu Cheng does not intend to let him know, although the previous "Detoxification" has been exposed their unusualness.

In Qiu Cheng's view, knowing too much is not a good thing for Zhou Quan. If one day, Zhou Quan's existence becomes a threat to them, at that time, no matter how unwilling to face it in his heart, Yes, in the end, Qiu Cheng will definitely only choose himself and Ah Chang.

After working for a while, Qiu Cheng finally had time this day, took Ah Chang and Zhou Quan, drove into the pickup truck, and went to have a look at the fish farming factory over there by Shen Xing.

Qiu Cheng visited this factory area once before. It was still a desolate scene at that time, but now it looks more vibrant. The garbage and sundries that could be seen everywhere have been cleaned up. When you look up, you can see the those white greenhouses.

Straw mats were spread on the side of the concrete road, and the straw mats were covered with all kinds of insects.In the parking shed on the side, there were a few workers processing insect powder and packing them. I heard that these workers were recruited by Shen Xing from the vicinity of their home. Because of this, their family is quite prosperous in that area now.

Shen Xing was in the office at this time to settle the accounts. Hearing that Qiu Cheng and the others had come, he quickly put down his work and came out to greet him. After all, this was the first time Qiu Cheng came to the fish farming factory.

Under the leadership of Shen Xing, the three visited the fish pond downstairs and the greenhouse upstairs. The whole factory is only this big, and there is nothing to see in it. After walking around, Qiu Cheng asked Ah Chang and Zhou Quan to Going up to play, he and Shen Xing talked about the operation of the fish farming factory.

The fish farming factory has no output yet, workers' wages, and the purchase of fish feed, all of which need to be spent, although for now, these expenses are not a big burden for Qiu Cheng.But he has to know how much he will spend in the future and when he will be able to reap the benefits.

"Yesterday, someone asked me if you would accept the houses below the [-]th floor in the six buildings in Jiayuan Community?" After talking about the fish farming factory, Shen Xing said to Qiu Cheng again.

"Yes, as long as the price is right." Qiu Cheng replied.

"No matter which floor you want?" Shen Xing was surprised.

"Yes, but all I can use now is less than a thousand catties of cornmeal. You can figure it out." There is nothing wrong with collecting more houses. Fewer people live in.
