From their words, Qin Wan learned that Aunt Wang and her husband both favored sons over daughters, and they gave birth to three daughters in a row before they had a son.
It is said that the eldest daughter married a cripple while they were in the underground shelter, and they survived. When they arrived on the surface, they were penniless, so they found a fool for the second daughter. Fortunately, this fool didn't hit anyone, and looked good on his face. It's quite normal, she has enough strength to work, and she smiles all the time. The second daughter even brought the fool back to the door, treating her like a serious in-law.
The younger daughter works in a barber shop and is said to be not very serious.
What's even more unseemly is that at first Aunt Wang found a bar employee for her youngest daughter, but it was not easy to open an entertainment club at this time, and the money she earned was not as poor as those in the shantytowns. Accompanying the wine princess, The waiters were very demanding, but Aunt Wang's youngest daughter didn't meet the requirements just because she was pretty, so she cursed and sent her to the hair salon, hoping that she would find a rich husband.
The two families used to live opposite each other underground, and Aunt Li knew everything about their family. How could it be that Aunt Wang saw Qin Wan's good looks and wanted to recommend her to an entertainment club so that she could earn agency fees!
When Qin Huijun came back, he immediately began to murmur to her. Qin Huijun's expression was so ugly that he coldly criticized Aunt Wang several times.
Aunt Wang was sarcastic, mocking the Qin family for being so poor that they couldn't even afford 007 sweet potatoes.
"If you ask me, you shouldn't save your daughter. What's a little girl's movie worth? Qin Feng, you are so pitiful. Your sister spent all the money you spent on your future wife. You want to be He’s an old bachelor.”
Qin Huijun, a gentle lady-like person, almost started a fight with her in the street.
Seeing that she had aroused public anger, Aunt Wang did not dare to say anything anymore and got into the shed.
When it was getting dark, the youngest daughter of the Wang family came back. There was banging and banging next door, and Aunt Wang loudly commanded her daughter. It was extremely hot in the tent, and the temperature didn't even drop with the curtains open. It was really impossible to sleep.
Fortunately, it smelled like a mountain of garbage and there were no flies or mosquitoes.
Qin Wan simply sat at the door to enjoy the cool air, and saw a pile of garbage being cleared away from Aunt Wang's house next door.
Their family rented two sheds. Aunt Wang and his wife lived in one, and her fifteen-year-old son also lived in another. At this time, he was standing outside watching his sister busy washing him, looking impatient. He said that her hands and feet were so slow and that he was going to sleep. However, Aunt Wang and his wife actually thought he was right. They chatted next to her and asked Wang Qiuer if she had found a rich boyfriend.
Qin Wan was very angry when he saw it, and couldn't help but feel lucky that he had passed through the Qin family. In comparison, Qin Feng was like a little angel.
If she remembered correctly, when she and Qin Feng went out to collect stones during the day, Aunt Wang's son hid in the tent and slept.
Even when he had time to sleep, he didn't clean up his doghouse.
The Li family next door didn't sleep either, so the noise made it impossible to sleep. Li Maisui sighed, "Qiu'er's temper is still too soft. Even if she gets married, she will still be manipulated by her husband's family."
Aunt Li also shook her head, "I don't know what she was thinking. All the money she earned in the barber shop every month was given to her mother. After finally coming back, she had to be responsible for the whole family's hygiene. If it were me, I would have demolished this place." , Maisui, you can’t learn from her. And if you can find any serious people there, just go to the farm and see if there is anyone reliable. The prospects for entering your prosperous farm are good, look for that kind of person. If he has good character, look at his mother..."
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Li Maisui said angrily.
"What's so embarrassing about this? You have to pick and choose when you go shopping for groceries." Aunt Li turned to Qin Wan and said, "Wanwan, you come from a big city and have a lot of experience. Am I right?"
She thought that Qin Wan must have learned a lesson from her biological father, and must have learned a lot about it.
Sure enough, Qin Wan said, "Indeed, you have to be careful about your marriage. You are most afraid of breaking your bones during divorce, and you are even more afraid of finding someone with bad character who will trick you into leaving the house. Aunt Li's selection criteria are very good. , from ancient times to the present, we have always paid attention to being well-matched and knowing the basics. Although others may be good, the probability is too small. "
Qin Huijun looked at Qin Wan in surprise, not expecting that she could see so clearly.
But thinking that all this came from her ex-husband, Qin Huijun felt a hatred in her heart, both for Jiang Chuwen and for herself.
"Sister Maisui, don't be shy. Love is a matter between two people, but marriage is a matter between two families. If someone is very kind to you, but his family makes you miserable, you should be more cautious. See if he is on your side, or if he has been wronging you and letting his family unconditionally."
The light was dim before, so Aunt Li didn't notice it, but Qin Wan noticed that Li Maisui's expression was a little strange.
Seeing herself saying this, she became even more silent.
"Could it be that I was right?" Qin Wan thought to herself, but when it came to love, it was best for outsiders not to get involved. She could only give her a few clicks to see if she could figure it out.
After the two families chatted for a while, the sky turned completely dark, the noise next door finally subsided, and it wasn't that hot, so Qin Wan went back to sleep.
The next day, the genius was dim, and she suddenly heard someone shouting to empty the toilet. Qin Huijun was probably too tired to wake up. On the contrary, she had the ability of earth to absorb the energy of the earth to replenish herself. Although she got tired easily, She recovered quickly. She climbed out of bed lightly, took the toilet at the corner of the bed, opened the curtain and walked over.
"Wanwan."
"Mom, I'm going to empty the toilet while you sleep a little longer."
Qin Huijun responded.
As Qin Wan walked out, he suddenly remembered that he had heard a friend talk about low-rent housing in the past, scolding the poor for not enjoying official welfare, and shamelessly occupying several apartments in their homes, saying that toilets should not be built in low-rent housing. She smiled. Not only did the toilets in the shanty town have to be emptied by oneself, but water was also limited.
She went to empty the toilet without changing her expression. When she came back, she saw Wang Qiuer carrying the toilet with both hands and going out. Her face was blue and black, as if she hadn't slept well.
Also, she could still hear the sound of washing and scrubbing in the second half of the night.
Li Maisui was pouring some water to clean the toilet, and then poured the sewage into a small pond not far away.
Qin Wan: "..."
She thought for a while, then cleaned the toilet, then chased to the trash can and emptied the waste truck again.
Wang Qiuer also flushed the toilet into the pond. Qin Wan sighed secretly. It seemed that he had already formed a habit.
When she entered the tent, Wang Qiuer left with a small bag on her back. The nanny who came back this time did a general cleaning for her family.
Li Maisui also left in the morning, also carrying a bulging bag, which should have contained a lot of pickles.
Aunt Li is very good at making pickles and frying them with oil. As for Aunt Wang's, she bought them from outside and added chili peppers. Chili peppers are rare these days.
The next half month was peaceful. Qin Huijun got used to the difficulty of opening up wasteland and was eager to try to open more land. Qin Wan was in better health and planned to go to the city to find a job.
Opening up wasteland was so hard that she couldn't stop Qin Huijun, but without her help picking up stones, Qin Huijun wouldn't be able to do more.
"How about I take a day off to go with you?" Qin Huijun was not at ease.
Qin Wan said, "Mom, you forgot that I came from the capital alone, why don't I still be safe? Don't underestimate me."
Qin Huijun thought for a while and finally agreed. She took out something and handed it to her, "This is your ID card. I got it for you. Take it. Many places in the city require ID cards."
Gave her another fifty cents.
Qin Wan took it and listened to her ramble, "Don't just rely on the fact that you were safe last time to be an expert and go to the alley. Be careful. Our Yunshan City is still very tight. Just watch." There will be uniformed patrols on the main roads. If you have any problems, just shout loudly. Don't show sympathy to the elderly and children. Let them go to the police. You must remember that you are also a vulnerable group..."
"Mom, I understand."
How could she not understand what Qin Huijun said made sense?
It was a time of post-disaster reconstruction, and everything was very irregular. Looking back now, Qin Wan couldn't help but feel lucky that the original owner was smart and prudent enough to dress himself up as a poor boy wandering around in rags, and he would rather spend more money and choose a government-run one. Transportation, otherwise she would be targeted even if she was as thin as a bamboo pole.
There will never be a shortage of people like the perverted old man who fawns over the original owner's father who crazily pursues thinness as beauty, and she is a girl.
Qin Wan looked at his ID card carefully, it was almost the same as before the apocalypse.
The scumbag father didn’t remember this happening at all, and the stepmother knew about it but kept her from doing it. The original owner bought the ticket directly by taking out the page from his household registration book. Fortunately, it worked.
She took her ID card and money and walked toward the city center. The first thing she saw was a very wide road with trees planted on both sides. It was originally for greening, but it looked weird as if it was carved out of a mold.
It feels like a clone, a twin.
Yunshan City is said to be a city, but it is not big and not prosperous. It has a feeling of the 1950s and 1960s that I have seen in documentaries. There are many three- and four-story houses that are almost identical. The highest is no more than six stories. The further you look up, the more , is a circle of material similar to a tent, which isolates the ruins that have not yet been cleared.
Along the way, Qin Wan's already thin vitality became even thinner. That’s right, this place turned out to be ruins. Outside the city, which is cleaner, there are the former rural areas or deep mountains and old forests, which are a little more energetic. She learned from Zhang Gong that the officials are very cautious and will not grant land for commercial use. All land is contracted to build farms. They can no longer tolerate it. No damage or waste at all.
So smart, wealthy people will open shops in the city, but place their families on farms outside the city.
From this perspective, their shanty towns are quite popular.
At this time, there are already breakfast shops open. There are actually not many in number. Compared to the five or six that opened on the same street before, Qin Wan's nose can already smell various aromas from a distance away, which are very strong. .
There are some artificial foods like 007 that are purely for filling your stomach, and there are also some that are very good at tricking people's nose, just like the artificial meat and instant noodles before the end of the world. Not to mention the taste, the aroma can definitely make people unable to walk.
Nowadays, those who dare to go out to do food business have carefully selected their raw materials, and each one is better than the other.
These aromas awakened Qin Wan's extremely long-lasting memories. They were no longer the delicacies of mountains and seas that were more complex than each other, but rather down-to-earth ordinary food that seemed plain but warm, just like an ordinary person's morning, too lazy to cook. I wanted to eat, so I brought some money and walked a few steps downstairs to see the thick smoke, xiaolongbao, rice rolls, hot dry noodles, fried dough sticks pancakes... I can still recall some sounds and sounds in my ears. In the picture, people who are in a hurry to go to work and go to school just grab some and eat while walking. There is a leisurely uncle and aunt sitting on a chair, chatting with familiar or unfamiliar people while eating... Her eyes are sour, and she says fiercely Took several big puffs.
There will be noodles, and there will be rice.
The cruel apocalypse has passed, and sooner or later she will be able to eat normal, natural, green and healthy food!
