In the Years When I Was a Father - Chapter 178

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the dark sky once again had snow flakes, and everyone in the Qi family who had just experienced the cold temperature of snow melting began to worry when watching the large white snow outside.

“No more days in a row!”

“Don’t say it, it’s snowing every day, I have to suffer enough!”

Tian Yue and Qi Hang stood in the living room and looked out. The mother and son expressed emotions from time to time.

Qi Sheng also walked by to see the heavy snow outside. Now I don’t need to guess. I know that the winter crop next year is one and I don’t want to survive.

He counted the grain in the cellar and couldn’t help worrying about it. Although the grain was enough for his family to eat for two years, could he just eat buns and pasta this year? I do n’t know how the animal husbandry is now. Although he has also built a small ice storage, he can store a limited amount of meat, and there are fruits and other things. It is definitely harder for the family to come next year.

Thinking of this, Qi Sheng intends to go out to the supermarket in the town to see if there are any leftovers, more storage points and more snacks.

“I want to go shopping, who of you will follow me?”

Qi Hang is not a quiet temper. These days, the speed of the internet is not good from time to time at home. It has been broken for a long time. When I heard that I could go out, I immediately excitedly signed up.

Tian Yue feels cold and does not want to go out, and she feels that the things in the supermarket still do not know what can be bought.

The old couple were naturally reluctant to go out, so Qi Sheng looked at Qi Lei and said: “Lei Lei, do you want to go out with your father to see if you want to buy something?”

Qi Lei wanted to go out long ago, but unfortunately he didn’t go far when he went out. The battery car at home was locked up by his grandmother, so he was afraid that he would ride out.

Qi Lei looked at both his father and son, and if they wanted to refuse, the ghostly messenger agreed again.

Qi Lei didn’t respond until he got on the bus.

Both children were sitting in the rear car seats, Qi Hang started to play games with his mobile phone, but the signal of the mobile phone was not very good, and the network was interrupted from time to time. Qi Hang ’s games could not be played at all, so he pushed the mobile phone. In his pocket, he looked at the brother next to him and glanced at the father in front of him. It felt strange if he didn’t say anything at this time.

“Dad, according to this method, don’t we have to go to school when we start school?”

Qi Hang’s class group has been discussing whether to do winter vacation homework. After all, learning may not be able to go to school. Why do you want to do so nasty winter vacation homework!

Several students discussed for half a day, even in order not to write homework, and still felt that this is quite good now.

Although Qi Hang’s grades are good, the child’s common problem is that he doesn’t want to write homework. He didn’t dare to tell Qi Sheng about this. This is not because his dad hasn’t mentioned learning during this time.

Qi Sheng looked at the child with bright eyes from the rearview mirror and knew what the little guy was thinking now.

“I won’t talk about it until school, but starting tomorrow, you have to study for three hours every morning and practice painting for three hours in the afternoon.”

“Dad, isn’t it!” This news is the most tragic thing in the world for Qi Hang. He was just lucky that he didn’t have to do his homework!

“father……”

“Huh? What’s wrong? Is there a time problem?”

“No, no problem.” Qi Hang thought of his father’s fear of being held in the room by his father to write homework. He was a little afraid to say anything, but hesitated for a while, and he wanted to fight for himself again.

“Dad, I still have to help the uncle to pull the fishing net. Doesn’t grandma say she wants to eat fish? Now that they are not available in the market, we still have to solve the food first.”

A few days ago, Qi Sen followed a few young people in the village to take fishing nets and dig ice fishing in the nearby river channel. Qi Hang had never seen such a thing since he was very young. New life for birds.

Although he didn’t catch a bird so far, the fish still caught a few. Qi Hang didn’t get more excited in those days and became more and more fond of this kind of activity.

Qi Sheng naturally knew of his young son ’s new hobbies, but he still said: “Your uncle has n’t been out for several days, and if the snow will be less likely to go out tomorrow, do you still want to play games every day when you are at home? The key is your game. I do n’t have much fun to play, and I will start reading and learning to paint tomorrow. “

Although the relevant departments tried their best to do a good job of basic services, but because of the heavy snow squeezed in some places, plus they have never experienced such a big blizzard, some network signal towers could not withstand the natural destruction and broke down. many.

Although the Internet is not broken, the speed of the Internet is already poor.

If there is no snow for today and tomorrow, it may be possible to repair it in two days. Now, Qi Sheng looked at the snowflakes floating outside the window and could not guarantee it.

After Qi Hang was suppressed by Qi Sheng, the excitement of just going out was much less.

He looked at his brother next to him and immediately felt unfair: “Why doesn’t brother need to study?”

Qi Lei was suddenly cued and suddenly uncomfortable. He turned his face to look out the window. Qi Sheng smiled and said: “Why doesn’t your brother need to study? Lei Lei has to do what I just said.”

Qi Hang felt comfortable, but Qi Lei was a little awkward. He looked at the people in the front row and said in a cold voice: “I can’t draw.”

“Not going to school, I will teach you.”

“Dad, will you still paint?” Qi Hang was a little puzzled, wouldn’t his dad not?

“Go back and buy a few books and do a good job. It won’t happen anymore. Besides, I have also downloaded a lot of videos before. There are all kinds of teaching. You can learn anything you want!”

Qi Hang did not expect his dad to have this hand, he was shocked and curious: “Dad, people are ready to eat in order to meet the end of the world, you will not just download these videos?”

After Qi Hang finished, even Qi Lei was a little curious. He looked at the people in the front row, and some of them didn’t believe that this person’s words were true.

“I have also prepared the food, but I have also prepared a lot of videos. Rest assured that you will not be bored.”

Qi Lei and Qi Hang couldn’t imagine a lot of concepts, and they didn’t care about it. The only thing they wanted was to read the book for a few more days and say that they wouldn’t be allowed to go to school after a while to get results!

**

There is a large supermarket in the town, Qi Qihuan car can be reached in less than thirty minutes. It was only 9 o’clock in the morning at this time, and there were very few people who came to buy things. The main reason was that the items in the supermarket were either shipped away by the boss or bought by the people around.

After the father and son entered the supermarket, they found that most of the things on the shelves were basically taken out. There is no root hair left to eat and drink. Occasionally, I saw a few packages of mustard in the corner. Qi Sheng picked it up and saw it all expired.

The daily necessities area is also almost empty, but there are still a lot of goods in the digital area of ​​home appliances and mobile phones.

Although it was expected that this would be the case, the three were somewhat disappointed.

“What is this, just like the devil entering the village!”

Qi Sheng felt that his son described it perfectly. At this time, there were only two young men in the supermarket. Qi Sheng walked over and asked them: “Do you have any plans to purchase?”

One of the strong men in black cotton replied: “I’m not sure for the time being. I have to look at the specific situation for a while.”

The brawny is a relative of the boss. He still knows the situation of the supermarket. The reason why the supermarket is still open is because the boss wants to exchange some unusable things for money.

No one is sure what the future will look like, so many bosses are now holding things that may be valuable in the future. Those that may be increasingly depreciated will have to find ways to exchange more money while the situation is still uncertain.

This is why the supermarket is still open.

Qi Sheng looked at the prices in general, and there was no requirement to pay with other things, but even ordinary color TVs still have a lot of price increases in disguise. Perhaps the boss thinks that the money will become less and less valuable in the future. The prices of these things have been raised.

Now that online shopping has become an extravagant hope, the boss is not afraid of selling at higher prices.

Qi Sheng took two children and turned back to the store, looking at the two children who were not very interested and said: “Go to see if there is anything you want, we can buy it if we can.”

It’s hard to come here, you can’t go home empty-handed!

After the three separated, Qi Lei hung out in the supermarket alone. He looked at the basketball and football at the sports goods department, he couldn’t help but want to buy one separately, but he looked at the price tag that was added a lot and hesitated.

Qi Lei couldn’t help but glance at Qi Sheng who was looking for something not far away, and then looked at Qi Hang not far away, and saw him holding a large doll in his arms, holding the basketball and football on the shelf. .

After taking down the two products, it was just like sweeping the goods. Qi Lei even got a little interest. He worried that he would be bored without internet life in the future. He put table tennis and badminton rackets in the shopping cart and even saw a pair of diving supplies. Also want to take it away.

Qi Hang strolled around the game area for a long time, saw a pile of wood and Lego, excited to pick left and right, he was still hesitant to buy which, he suddenly glanced at the size of Qi Lei’s shopping cart, and hurriedly ran immediately Go to Qi Sheng and ask, “Dad, can I get more pictures of the building blocks? Just in case … the end of the world, right? I have the chance to pass them time in the future!”

Qi Sheng had prepared a lot of money before, and now he is not worried that it will run out soon, so he promises: “Yes.”

Qi Hang was excited to take his life away. Qi Sheng looked at Qi Lei wandering alone in the musical instrument area and walked over to ask: “What do you like? Interested ones can take it.”

Qi Lei shook his head: “Forget it, I won’t anyway.”

Qi Sheng laughed: “What’s the matter, the teaching videos I downloaded include guitar, piano, violin, ukulele … by the way, it seems that there are guzheng and pipa, anyway, if you like it, take it, go back and learn with us . “

Qi Lei could not help imagining the picture of this person downloading teaching videos. He couldn’t help but want to laugh. He forced to collapse, but stepped forward and took off the guitar hanging on the wall.

Seeing this, Qi Sheng also took two copies of the violin, ukulele and pipa. I do n’t know. He thought he would go to the music family in the future.

There are still some books in the supermarket, and Qi Sheng picked a lot of choices and bought a lot, so the two brothers who stood at the door watched them buy so much, but there was no response.

Although money may become more and more difficult to buy in the future, there is nothing wrong with it. Is such a method of spending money too much?

However, the strong man froze for a second, guessing that Qi Sheng’s conditions should be good, and Lisuo settled the accounts with them.

It took a lot of effort for the three people to stuff everything into the car. At this time, the snow fell at the same speed as when it came, but the ground was already covered with a thin layer of snow.

“Hurry back, today our family will have a good Lantern Festival!”

Qi Lei was forced to sit in the position of co-pilot because there were too many things. Qi Sheng asked when he saw this: “Lei Lei, what instrument do you want to learn? Let’s study together tomorrow?”

After all, people bought it, so Qi Lei replied: “Guitar.”

“That line, we will learn guitar every afternoon in the future.” After Qi Sheng looked at Qi Hang in the rearview mirror, he asked, “Hang Hang, are you following us to learn guitar or other instruments?”

“Can I practice my painting?” Qi Hang felt very tired. What time is it now, why did his father ask him to learn this? Woo, life is too difficult!

Qi Sheng looked at his younger son who apparently didn’t want to spend time on learning, and he didn’t force it. Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future. When he comes to study on his own initiative!

When they got home, the old couple and Tian Yue curiously ran out to see what they bought. The three of them excitedly opened the rear compartment, and then they wanted to shut the rear compartment.

“What are these things!”

Basketball, football, several music equipment boxes, and even a big plush toy!

The old couple didn’t like it, and Tian Yue frowned: “Why do you buy these things? You won’t need them in the future.”

“Who can’t use it, when you’re bored you know how much foresight I have now!”

Tian Yue confessed to him, and began to help moving things helplessly.

In the evening, the family prepared a rich dinner together. After the family reunion, Qi Sheng also revealed to the two children before they went to sleep that there will be a big surprise tomorrow.

Qi Lei was curious but tried hard to restrain himself, but Qi Hang did not take it into account. He was full of curiosity and expected: “Dad, what surprise?”

Qi Sheng laughed: “Confidential, I will talk about it tomorrow.”

How could it be possible to wait for tomorrow, how can such a surprise leave it overnight!

So Qi Hang started coquettishly: “Dad, daddy, what a surprise? You hurry up!”

Qi Lei also wanted to know, but looking at the intimate father and son, he was in a good mood just now, and he couldn’t help but pursed his lips.

The family was still sitting in the living room watching the TV series downloaded by Qi Sheng. The old man was curious and asked curiously, “What surprise? You tell them directly and save yourself tonight.”

Qi Sheng thought the old man was right, and looked at everyone with a smile: “Cough, let’s go, come over and bring you insight!”

After talking about Qi Sheng pulling Qi Hang climbing on him, he pulled Qi Lei alone on the corner of the sofa, took them to the last empty room, and looked at the two children with pride: ” The following is the moment to witness the miracle! “

Qi Hang heard excitement and wanted to scream. Qi Lei looked at the big hand on his wrist and couldn’t help but raise his mouth.

“Dangdang Dangdang!”

“How? Surprised?”

In an empty room with a very large area, a bookcase with three sides close to the roof is placed in front of the three walls without windows. In the bookcase, full of books are tightly packed in it, which is like a small library.

Qi Sheng had been preparing for this library for a long time, and a desk about 1.5 meters wide and 2 meters long was placed in the middle area, which was almost enough for the family to hold a reading meeting together.

Qi Sheng was very satisfied with this library. He had been complacent for a long time, but unfortunately his excited mood was not echoed by those around him.

“Hey, you two have a reaction?”

The agitated Qi Hang was silent for a minute.

Qi Lei, who couldn’t help but smile a minute ago, tightened his mouth again.

The two glanced at Qi Sheng, who was expecting their reply, and looked at each other silently, not really wanting to speak.

Rarely do n’t go to school, you just give us this? !

Ah!
