Qiao family.

Qiao Zu looked inside and out, only to find a small handful of noodles. Finally, he was so angry that he threw the noodles down and ran out of the house.

If you have money in your pocket, where can you not get breakfast?

Don’t the soy milk fried dough sticks taste delicious?

When eating out, you don’t have to wash dishes or cook pots.

After spending thirty cents at a breakfast shop in the alley and having a delicious breakfast, Qiao Zuwang patted his butt and went to work.

In the afternoon, Qiao Zuwang deliberately left work early today. He had already made up his mind that he must have food in the evening.

But when he got home, he found that a bunch of little guys had finished eating early, and when he got home, there were no leftovers on the table.

This time, Qiao Zuwang's face became angry again.

what happened?

On purpose, right?

Qiao Zuwang stared at Li Jie for a long time, his eyes full of anger and resentment. Besides the boss, who else in the family has this ability?

This child really has to go to the house without being beaten for three days.

But the problem now is that he can't beat the boss at all.

He was hit, hit, scolded, and ignored. Qiao Zuwang thought about it but couldn't think of any good ideas.

'snort! '

Qiao Zuwang snorted secretly and decided to watch it tomorrow morning. The boss couldn't take everyone out for breakfast every day, could he?

Mountains of gold and silver cannot bear to be built like this!

On the other side, Li Jie noticed Qiao Zuwang staring at him righteously, but he didn't care and continued to look through the book in his hand.

What he is reading is "Radio Basics" compiled by Jinling Radio Industrial School. In fact, he knows everything in the book.

I remember that when he was still 'Xiao Tu', he once touched the radio station with his hands.

He was reading this book just to show off and lay the foundation for repairing radios in the future.

In addition to the basics of radio, Li Jie also bought a book "Electrical Engineering", a "Lecture Notes for Maintenance Electricians" and a book "Electromagnetism" from the bookstore.

Fortunately, Jinling is a big city. If you were in a third- or fourth-tier city, or in a rural area, these books would not be easy to buy.

Seeing the "Basics of Radio" in Li Jie's hand, Qiao Zuwang was also very curious.

Although he has never read such books, he has heard of the word radio. This is obviously not something that primary and secondary school students need to learn.

What's the old university doing?

Does he understand?

Qiao Zuwang wanted to ask, but when he thought about the current relationship between the two, he probably wouldn't tell the boss even if he asked.

It's better not to ask than to ask for trouble!

In the next few days, Qiao Zuwang worked hard and vowed to have a meal, but in reality things often backfired.

Every time, he was just a few inches away from success. At this time, Li Jie was determined to win.

A few days passed, and Qiao Zuwang didn't take advantage of a single loophole. For Qiao Zuwang, this was undoubtedly a 'huge' blow.

Seeing that the money in his pocket was getting less and less, if he could no longer afford food, he would have to eat steamed buns and pickles.

On this day, Qiao Zuwang came up with a brilliant idea, but before he could implement it, explosive news came out in the streets.

An earthquake is coming!

The remnants of last year's Shantang earthquake are still lingering. Although no one could see the tragic scenes of the Shantang earthquake due to limitations in communication channels, through newspapers and radio, people can still understand how terrible the earthquake was.

In addition, there is another thing that makes people particularly afraid. The official did not come forward to refute the rumors, as if they had acquiesced in the news that an earthquake was coming.

As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, and as the news spreads, it becomes more and more like this.

The people became more and more frightened as they listened, and many people's hearts were in their throats.

I don’t know which household took the lead in setting up an earthquake-proof shelter outside. After a few days, all kinds of simple earthquake-proof shelters sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Li Jie, who has read the original work, naturally knows that this earthquake incident was a complete mistake.

Once bitten by a snake, we are afraid of well ropes for ten years. The earthquake that shocked China and the world last year was really terrible.

It was normal for the public to have such a reaction. He could understand the official refusal to refute the rumors. After all, aftershocks were still occurring across the country.

Therefore, Li Jie did not do anything special this time. Instead, he set up an anti-shock shelter outside like other neighbors.

Compared with other people's simple earthquake-proof sheds with bamboo beds and reed mats, the earthquake-proof shed built by Li Jie is much more luxurious.

He first went to a recycling plant and bought a bundle of pine strips at a very low price, and then bought half a roll of tarpaulin from the black market.

After knocking for a long time, a four or five square meter luxury earthquake-proof shed was created.

Aunt Wu was amazed when she saw the shed built by Li Jie.

"Ah, Issei, you are so capable, you built the shed so beautifully."

Li Jie smiled shyly, like a shy boy who couldn't stand the praise of adults.

"No, Aunt Wu, you praise me too much."

Aunt Wu walked around the shed and was amazed. This shed was perfectly built and looked familiar, and the materials used were affordable.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it was built by a child. Instead, it looks like it was built by an experienced worker.

Seeing this shed, Aunt Wu immediately thought of her own shed that was neither windproof nor rainproof.

When she thought of this, she suddenly sighed in her heart.

It's really impossible to live without a man in this family.

The man in her family died early, leaving them orphans and widowed mothers. Fortunately, her man's work unit took pity on their orphans and widowed mothers and gave them all the subsidies they deserved. Her current job was also provided by her work unit.

It's close to home, there's little work, and there's a lot of money. I can walk the entire Shamao Alley several times. This is considered a top job.

But no matter how good her job is, it can't compare to her man who died in the line of duty.

Just like the earthquake-proof shed built this time, if her men were still there, their shed would definitely not be worse than the one built by 'Yicheng'.

Looking at Li Jie's young face, Aunt Wu couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. Her eldest son was about the same age as others.

But if you put the two of them together and compare them, they are like heaven and earth.

Although Yi Cheng is young, looking at his performance, he looks like a little man. The key is that his academic performance is not bad.

Look at her children, they only know how to play and read books day by day, they don’t read well, they don’t do housework, they don’t do housework, and they often make her angry.

Just as Aunt Wu was sighing, a conversation suddenly came from not far away.

"Hello, does Qiao Yicheng live here?"

"Who are you? Are you looking for him to do anything?"

"Hello, I am the principal of Beiqiao Primary School. Yicheng is an outstanding graduate of our school. Doesn't this mean there is going to be an earthquake? I thought I should come over and see him."

"Oh, you are Principal Liu, right? Hello, principal. Our children also attend Beiqiao Primary School."
