Chapter 471 Attention! What did this woman discover?
Gan Qi looked at his grandmother nervously, worried that she would get angry after hearing this.
After all, buying a box of medicine is too expensive. One pill costs more than ten contribution points. It is normal that grandma disagrees. Her family is as poor as mine.
"Oh, it's Gan Qi. I remember that we had grilled fish at home during the rainy season! Come in and sit down."
To Gan Qi's surprise, her grandmother did not show any disgust. Instead, she enthusiastically took her arm and took her to the warmest place in the house - the stove.
"Why is this child thinner than before?"
Grandma stroked her wrist through her thin clothes, and after feeling the thin strand, she shook her head and frowned. Seeing how thin she was wearing, she wondered:
"Didn't Xiaojiu send you a set of thick clothes? Why aren't you wearing them? The weather isn't that hot right now. You'll get sick if you wear something so thin!"
Gan Qi forced a smile and said, "It's okay, grandma, I'm not afraid of the cold."
"Nonsense," Grandma touched her hand, "It's so cold, you can tell it's frozen. I'll pour you a cup of hot water to warm you up."
"No trouble, I'm not thirsty - thank you, grandma."
Gan Qi held a hot cup of water and stood by the stove. Looking at the house which was even more barren than before, he felt a surge of guilt in his heart.
...I guess they must have had a hard winter. Everything is gone in the house. It’s not easy.
An Jiu pretended to pull out a cloth bag from under the bed, opened it and took out four or five boxes of medicine from the innermost part, "Gan Qi, take a look and see which one you need."
She put down the cup and walked over. "This... I don't really understand. What does it cure?"
Anjiu looked at the boxes one by one. "This is for treating colds, runny noses, fevers, and coughs. This is cough syrup, it's for the symptoms. Take it back. And this is an anti-inflammatory medicine, take it back too."
Gan Qi looked at the three boxes of medicine pushed in front of him and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, there are too many. I can't take so much. One box is enough!"
Three boxes of medicine, how much contribution points would that cost? How could she take them all!
"These are three kinds of medicine. Take them together to get better quickly," An Jiu said slowly. "Maybe there will be a job opening soon. If your dad recovers during this period, he can go to work. Wouldn't life get better day by day?"
Although what she said was right, Gan Qi was still a little hesitant. These were three boxes of medicine...
He told her the dosage of each medicine and stuffed it into her arms, asking her to take it back when she left.
Gan Qi didn't expect that Anjiu was really given to her, and couldn't help but look back at her grandmother.
"Take it. Recovery is more important than anything else." Grandma patted her shoulder kindly and put a pack of cakes in her arms. "Listen to Xiaojiu."
Gan Qi returned home in a daze, carrying medicine and cakes. It was her father's heart-wrenching cough that brought her back to reality.
"Dad, take the medicine, you will be fine after taking it!"
The old father, who kept saying that medicine was useless, opened his mouth tremblingly and swallowed the medicine forcefully.
"Don't cry, my son. Daddy won't die today, tomorrow, or in the future! I'm still waiting to see my daughter get married and have children. I, I have to get better quickly and support this family!"
"Yeah!" Gan Qi wiped away her tears, "Dad, eat something. Grandma Xiaojiu brought us some food."
She took a piece of cake out of the bag, broke it into small pieces and put them into her father's mouth.
Father Gan had no appetite at first, but when he smelled the aroma of noodles and tasted the sweetness, his taste buds were suddenly awakened. "Good, delicious, it's sweet. Ahem, ahem, you should eat it quickly, don't leave it all for me."
Gan Qi couldn't resist and took a bite as well. Her eyes lit up.
"There's sugar in it. It's a sugar cookie!"
She quickly opened the bag and took up the cakes one by one. "Yes, they all have sugar. Every one of them has sugar!"
Just then, she saw a separately wrapped bag under the opened pancake. As soon as she put her hand on it, she was stunned.
"What is that?" asked the father.
She swallowed hard, took out the bag, untied it, and revealed a palm-sized piece of braised meat.
My father suddenly straightened his upper body and stared to make sure he was not seeing things.
"Who, who on earth is this family, and they actually gave me such a big piece of meat?"
"Her house is just like ours," Gan Qi said, looking like she was about to cry, "but she still brought me so many things..."
Father Gan was moved. "These are good people. When I recover, I will definitely repay them!"
The tension downstairs is in stark contrast to the leisure upstairs.
Residents living on the 30th floor and above are still looking forward to the start of the new year and planning how to work hard this year.
However, after the last night passed peacefully and serenely, with the first light of dawn, a huge roar completely disrupted their lives from now on.
"what happened?!"
Anjiu and his grandmother woke up from their sleep and found that the bed was shaking, the stove was shaking, the walls were shaking, the air was filled with choking dust, and shocking screams came from the corridor.
"Xiaojiu, is the building going to collapse?"
"Get into the space, quick!"
Anjiu jumped off the bed, hurriedly picked up the mattress and red bucket, and hid in the space.
The space inside is stable and peaceful, completely unaffected by the outside world.
Grandma fell to the ground, her face full of shock.
She said in a trembling voice: "How come there was no sign at all and the earthquake suddenly started! The building must not collapse, there are so many people inside..."
If such a tall building collapsed, no one living inside would be able to escape and would all die under the rubble!
A Ling, her two children, her old friends, and Xiaojiu's friends, no one will get out alive!
When emotions are involved, the feeling of disaster will be even more frightening.
When she thought about how we met and laughed last night, and now there might be a cold corpse - it was even more likely that the corpse could not even be found, grandma's body trembled more and more, and her hands and feet became extremely cold.
Anjiu was also wondering what had happened. She recalled the sound she heard when she woke up. It didn't sound like an earthquake, but more like something hitting the building.
The noise was very loud and clear, as if it happened on the platform. The screams she heard also seemed to come from the platform.
Could it be that...something fell from the sky, smashed through the roof and hit the platform???
The more Anjiu thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
A huge object falling down will cause the building to shake, but it does not necessarily mean that the building will collapse.
"Grandma, you stay here. I'll go outside to see what's going on." She stood up and tried to leave the space, but her grandma grabbed her hand.
"Xiao, Xiaojiu," Grandma said, looking horrified as if she had seen a ghost, "turn your head quickly and look, is there a living person coming over here?"
