After quitting 996, I became the master of the deserted planet
Chapter 18 Uncle is Back
Chu Jiao helped out in the supermarket for another week. One morning, she got up and prepared to go for a run. When she opened the door, she found that it was raining heavily outside.
It has been hot for more than two months without a drop of rain. Now it is finally raining.
Chu Jiao didn't plan to go back to sleep because she couldn't run. She opened the fitness app and followed the fitness coach to do aerobics for an hour. After finishing the stretching, she went back to the room to take a shower.
When I returned downstairs, both Chu's parents had gotten up. Chu's father was sitting on the sofa watching TV news, while Chu's mother was watching a short video on her phone.
"Hurry up and have breakfast, we have already eaten." Chu's mother watched the short video without raising her head
"You're all at home. The supermarket is closed today?"
"Didn't you see the message I received yesterday? The Liyang City official website announced that a typhoon would pass through today and asked us to close doors and windows and stay indoors as much as possible."
"There's a typhoon, no wonder it's so windy outside. I didn't check the message. I haven't used my phone in a long time. No one would contact me anyway."
She doesn't like to communicate with others, nor does she like to make friends. She doesn't have any social circle, and her WeChat Moments are blank. It's so clean that it doesn't look like a young person's account.
When I was working in H City, I only communicated with my colleagues about work. I stopped contacting them after I resigned.
"Our situation shouldn't be serious. We'll probably just be swept by the tail end of the typhoon, and the wind will be a bit strong," Chu's father concluded while watching TV.
"The environment has been getting worse in recent years. It feels like there are more natural disasters. Typhoons are considered the least of our worries. Earthquakes and floods happen all the time. The videos people took on the scene are really scary. Fortunately, our city of Liyang is small and has never experienced these disasters," said Chu's mother.
"Yes, there was a big earthquake in J City two months ago. I saw some videos online. Some people were running away with only a pair of shorts and didn't even have time to put on clothes." Chu Jiao felt that if she
"When you are running for your life, you don't care about clothes. You have to run even if you are naked. It's good enough if you can escape. Life is important, silly girl." Mother Chu smiled and patted her daughter's arm.
"Hahaha, okay, I have to run even if I'm naked."
"It's rare to have some free time, why don't you clean the house?" Chu's mother suggested
"Cleaning on a rainy day? The house gets wet and it's easy to slip and fall." Chu's father disagreed.
"Mom, it's a rare opportunity for you to relax, why don't you take a break? We've already hired a cleaning lady to clean the house twice a week. There are no children at home, so it can't be that dirty. If you really think it's too dirty, I'll hire a cleaning company to come and do a thorough cleaning once a month. They have professional tools and guarantee that it will be cleaner than you can do it yourself. I'll pay for it." Chu Jiao was speechless. Chu Jiao was rich and willful.
"Hahaha, OK, I'll take a break and watch TV. Who wouldn't enjoy the blessing?" Chu's mother was happy. Her daughter was really filial and knew how to care for her parents. She helped in the supermarket every day by moving things here and there, for fear that her father would be tired. People around her praised her for being hardworking and willing to endure hardships. Although her daughter was stronger now, she still had to be willing to move. None of the girls around her who were about her age were willing to do that. They would rather lie at home or go out to play. Her own daughter was better.
Chu Jiao washed a large plate of fruit and put it on the coffee table. Everyone ate while watching. There was a TV series on. It was an anti-Japanese war movie that Chu's parents liked to watch. Chu Jiao didn't like watching these. She usually watched more variety shows.
Chu Jiao didn't leave either. She picked up her phone, which she hadn't played with for a long time, and watched Doudou videos on the sofa. Many of the videos were about the outbreak of viral influenza in G City. Isn't it said that the hot summer weather is not friendly to viruses? Could it be that the virus has mutated again?
During the outbreak of the virus a few years ago, everyone was in a panic and isolated at home every day. Chu Jiao was alone in H City at that time and could not return home. She could only stay in the rental house and work from home. Chu's parents were very worried. Now when I think about it, I feel a shadow.
"Mom and Dad, the viral cold has started again. It is said that it is quite serious in G City. You have to be careful since you are in contact with so many people every day. Eat more fruits every day to supplement vitamin C. After all, it is free for you to eat as much as you want." Chu Jiao's desire to buy primary gene drugs became stronger.
"It's okay. We've been fine here. We've gotten through the worst. Now the country is no longer controlling the epidemic, so it's definitely not a big problem. Just treat it as a common cold. I have a poker friend whose whole family seems to have gone on a trip there, and I don't know how they're doing." Chu's mother was very curious and wanted to send a message to ask her poker friend.
"Many people take their children out to play during the summer vacation. Tourist areas are crowded with people. If there is a virus, it will spread quickly," said Chu's father.
"Yeah, there's no good way to prevent it. Eat more fruits with high vitamin C content. Isn't it said that it can increase immunity? It will definitely have some effect. Dad, send more to my grandparents in the countryside, especially the freshly harvested oranges and tangerines. Grapes are also good. And send more to my grandma too." Chu Jiao was worried about her family's health.
"Haha, you still have to worry about this. Your dad is your biological child. He drives to send you off every few days. Your grandparents have enough to eat and drink." Mother Chu laughed at her daughter. She was young but still worried about this and that. Although Mother Chu felt very heartwarming when she heard it,
Hahahaha, Chu Jiao was so amused by what her mother said. As she was talking, her mother's cell phone rang. It was Chu Jiao's uncle who called and asked her to come over for dinner in the evening. He and his uncle-in-law had both returned home from the construction site. It happened to be the weekend and the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. He said that everyone should get together in the evening.
After hanging up the phone, Chu's mother prepared to make lunch.
"Mom, just have something to eat at noon. I'm not very hungry after eating fruits for half a day, and I won't be home for dinner. Fry some vegetables and get some steamed buns from my space. The steamed buns you helped me stock up in my system space are enough for me to eat every day for a year. Dad, is it okay for me to eat steamed buns?" Every time Chu's mother cooks, as long as Chu Jiao is around, she will definitely cook more lunch boxes for Chu Jiao. She has bought lunch boxes several times. Now the number of lunch boxes in her space has increased to about 200, and they are all full.
"I'm fine with anything, as long as you agree on it." Dad Chu is not picky about food, and the raw materials are all grown by his daughter, so they taste very good. Dad Chu likes it very much.
"It's better to stock up. Even if you stay there for a long time, you will have something to eat. It won't go bad if you keep it in your space. I will prepare some for you slowly when I have time."
After Chu Ma finished cooking, the family had a simple and delicious lunch.
Chu Jiao suddenly remembered that there was a large pot of honey in the system space that had been there for a long time.
"I still have a large pot of honey in my space that I haven't processed yet. I cut it myself some time ago and forgot to deal with it. I have nothing to do this afternoon, so let's take out the honey together."
"How do I get it? I haven't seen it before." Chu's mother has never come across this before. This is her blind spot in knowledge.
"We learned this the last time we went to buy a beehive. Tools are needed. Jiaojiao, where are your tools?"
"I've put them all in the system space." Chu Jiao took out a large pot of honey and tools and placed them in the living room, as well as a glass jar with a sealing ring that had been prepared long ago.
"It's only been a short time since I've grown it, and I've cut such a big pot. I'll go get some cardboard boxes and spread them on the floor before I do anything. I'll make the floor sticky and hard to clean." Mother Chu went to the garage and got several disassembled cardboard boxes to spread on the floor. These were all cardboard boxes she received when she bought things online. She was going to sell them to a junk collector. She hadn't had time to deal with them yet, so she could just throw them away if they got dirty.
The family fumbled to process the honey, and filled five two-kilogram glass jars with full honey and one half-full honey jar.
"This honey smells so good, with a mixed fruity aroma. Let's divide these five bottles among our relatives. One bottle goes to your grandparents and two aunts, and one to your grandmother and aunt's family. You can take it to dinner tonight, and we can drink the remaining half bottle ourselves." Mother Chu has already arranged where they belonged, and is going to drink a glass of honey water every morning when she wakes up.
"You and Daddy should drink a cup every morning. When you've almost finished, I think it's time to harvest again. I've added ten more beehives, so I think there'll be even more honey next time. When you have time, Daddy has to take me to buy some empty beehives as a backup. We have plenty of flowers and food over there, so the honey reproduces very quickly."
"You don't have to go, I'll just call and make a reservation, and then I'll pick it up." The last time Dad Chu went to buy a beehive, he asked for the other party's contact information.
It was almost four o'clock when I finished packing up the house. The wind and rain outside had stopped. I guess the typhoon had passed.
Chu's mother asked Chu Jiao to take some fruits and two bottles of honey that had just been picked up. Chu's father drove the family to Chu Jiao's uncle's house.
When we arrived, it was Chu Jiao's uncle who opened the door. "You guys just come here, why do you always carry so many things?"
"I just took some fruits, all grown by Jiaojiao's family, and two bottles of honey, one bottle each for you and your second sister." Mother Chu looked at her brother and answered with a smile.
"Uncle, you are back." Chu Jiao was very happy to see her uncle. In Chu Jiao's heart, her uncle was like another father to her. When she was sick and hospitalized as a child, her father was not at home. It was her uncle and aunt who accompanied her mother to take care of her. She loved her uncle the most.
"Haha, you're back. Come in and turn on the air conditioner. It's hot outside." My uncle is usually not good at speaking, but he becomes a chatterbox after drinking a little. The contrast is huge.
Chu Jiao walked in and found that her aunt and the others had arrived. She smiled and called out to everyone one by one, completing the entry ceremony.
"It's better to be at home. Look, you've only been home for two months, and you're doing so well, so white and tender. Is it because your mother gave you enough nutrition? You've grown taller." The grandmother was very satisfied with her pretty niece. When she first came home to eat, her face was sallow, and she was so thin and small that it felt like the wind could blow her away. Now, although she is thin, she looks very strong, very energetic, and has a good complexion.
"Our Jiaojiao is really a beauty. She has inherited all the good qualities of your parents. Her skin is really good. It hasn't been affected at all after a whole summer. Look at your sister. She was not fair to begin with and she always liked to go out. Now she is so dark that I can't say anything about her." Aunt Chu Jiao looked at her niece who was fair and glowing. She was really envious. She herself was not dark either. Her daughter must be like her father.
"Mom, I'm dark because you didn't give birth well. Look at how good my aunt is at giving birth. My sister is so white and glowing. Oh, sister, don't get too close to me, or I'll feel inferior." Aunt Chu Jiao's youngest daughter is Zhang Jiajia, who is in high school and has a more lively personality.
"That's right, look at how good grandma is at giving birth. You and your aunt are so fair. Don't say we look like my dad and my uncle isn't fair either. We also had a chance to be fair. It's all your fault." Zhang Jiawen, the eldest daughter of the aunt, agreed with her sister's words very much. People say that white can hide three ugly things. Which girl doesn't like to be fair? If she were as fair as her sister, she would wake up laughing in her dreams.
"Hahahahaha, you can't blame Jia Jia. You should find your mother to account for not giving us a whiter child." Grandma chimed in.
"That's right," Zhang Jiajia agreed.
Aunt Chu Jiao rolled her eyes speechlessly. Is this something she can decide?
Chu Jiao was laughing so hard that her body was shaking. Zhang Jiajia turned around and saw her sister's smile, and her heart trembled. She felt that she had been hit by the beauty filter. She covered her heart with her hands.
"Sister, don't smile at me, I can't stand it. I admit that I am a beauty lover. If I were a boy, I would take you home. You can become a star and I will be your fan." Zhang Jiajia felt that the beauty described in novels was just like this. Her sister's appearance would definitely kill others in the entertainment industry.
Chu Jiao couldn't stop laughing when she saw her sister playing tricks
"How long has it been since you came back? More than two months, and you've changed so much? What did you feed Jiaojiao? She's even grown a lot taller." Aunt Chu Jiao was really curious and wanted to give her daughter some nourishment.
"She has changed a lot. The last time I came here, she was listless and didn't like to talk much when she sat there. It was heartbreaking to see her. Now she is as pink and beautiful as a newly opened flower." Chu Jiao's aunt really loves her. She has no daughter of her own, and Chu Jiao has been well-behaved since she was a child. She has always treated her like her own daughter.
"She didn't take any supplements, she just ate normally. She used to have an irregular diet, often staying up late and ruining her body. Now she has a regular diet and is eating healthier now. I use the organic vegetables I sent to your house when I cook. She is young and recovers quickly. With the right nutrition, she has grown up." This is the only reply Chu's mother could give. She can't say it's all thanks to the primary gene medicine.
"The vegetables, fruits, and rice you sent are really good. Jiajia and her friends don't like to eat out anymore because they say the food is too bad."
"They were all grown by Jiaojiao's family. They gave some to Jiaojiao. We liked them so much that we took some more and sold them in the supermarket. We also ate them at home." This was what Chu's mother said, which was the internal statement agreed upon by the whole family.
"You asked your brother-in-law to charge for delivery next time. We will take advantage of it to save the travel expenses. It's not ours. It's not good to let you pay all the time." Aunt Chu Jiao felt that she couldn't refuse. She had inquired about the prices of Chu Jiao's supermarket. The prices were about the same as those in other supermarkets. Who would choose bad food when they can have good food?
"That's right, we need to eat them every day, it's not right to ask you to pay for them all the time. We usually go to the supermarket to buy them, it doesn't matter where we buy them, you can give us a discount, it's definitely not okay not to charge you." Chu Jiao's aunt didn't want others to gossip.
Mother Chu didn't know what to say. Your niece planted these herself, so she didn't spend any money. She glanced at Chu Jiao, and her eyes revealed a meaning: "What should I do?"
