When Wu Zhen returned home, his wife took over his toolbox and coat, and his son sat at the desk to read and learn to read.

The house is not big, with two bedrooms and a living room, about 60 square meters. It is close to a wealthy area, and the security and environment are pretty good.

His wife is gentle and considerate, his son is smart and well-behaved, and although he is treated like a monkey from time to time at work, his income is considerable, so he has no worries about food and clothing, and his life safety is also guaranteed.

In his spare time, he develops his personal hobbies on his balcony. It is indeed like what he said, life is pretty good now and there is nothing that needs to be changed.

"Are you worried about something?" the wife suddenly asked.

Wu Zhen paused and said, "Uncle Mei sent someone to look for us."

His wife was quite surprised: "Uncle Mei is still alive? With his son's terrible condition and his inconvenient legs, how could he -" survive until now?

Wu Zhen sighed: "I didn't expect this either. I'll call Uncle Mei later and ask about the details."

The wife didn't say anything and turned around to help her son with his homework.

It would be great if this happened before the end of the world, when there were schools and teachers to teach us.

Damn apocalypse, she couldn’t even find all the elementary school textbooks, let alone schools and teachers.

Just before going to bed, Wu Zhen took a deep breath and dialed the phone.

After the call was connected, an old and familiar voice came from the other end: "Who is this?"

"Uncle Mei, it's me, Wu Zhen."

Mr. Mei became excited: "Xiao Zhen, where is your father, huh?!"

Wu Zhen suddenly felt like crying.

Ever since the end of the world came and the social system collapsed, his father went from being a respectable university professor to a burden that no one cared about and no longer needed by society.

The old friends around him have died or broken off ties, but only Mr. Mei still cares about this friendship as always.

I have been thinking about it for more than ten years.

He couldn't help but choked up: "Uncle, my dad is gone."

There was a long silence on the other side. After a long while, the old man asked in a trembling voice:

"Why is it gone?"

"Shou'an has no medical care and has been ill for too long. He can't be saved."

"What about you? Do you have anyone around you? Why don't you come to Taoyang and live with your uncle? I know Shou'an. Warlords don't take ordinary people seriously. It's too dangerous."

Taoyang?

Isn’t it Dongyang?

Where is Taoyang?

I haven't heard of it, I guess the conditions are not very good.

Wu Zhenye didn't ask any further questions, but just said:

"Uncle, I'm married and my son is six years old. We're doing OK in Shou'an. Why don't I have someone pick you up and bring you over to live with us? Although we're not exactly wealthy, we'll have enough food and drink, and we'll be safe."

Mr. Mei heard that he was doing quite well in Shouan.

But no matter how well it does, a base ruled by a warlord who disregards the lives of ordinary people cannot last long.

"Uncle, don't worry. Now that you're here, my family will treat you as an elder. It's definitely better than living alone in Dongyang."

Elder Mei sighed, "Xiao Zhen, to be honest, I have no worries about food and drink where I live now. I live alone in a one-bedroom apartment with air conditioning. I have someone to take care of my daily life, and I don't have to worry about medical treatment. I even have the opportunity to stand up after being broken for so many years."

Wu Jian was stunned, somewhat doubting his own ears. After a long while, he asked:

"What is Xingxian doing in Dongyang?"

Mei Xingxian has become successful? He even knows how to be filial to his father?

Elder Mei said, "It has nothing to do with that rebellious son. I have already severed ties with him. Now Tao Yatou provides me with food, clothing, shelter and transportation. You should have met her, otherwise you wouldn't have my contact information."

Wu Zhen thought of the girl he had met during the day. He never thought she had such great abilities in Dongyang.

We can live in air-conditioned rooms, so why bother seeing a doctor? When did the conditions in Dongyang become so good?

Mr. Mei said patiently:

"That's why I persuaded you to live in Taoyang. I guess you haven't heard of Taoyang. It's right next to Dongyang. It's Tao girl's territory. I said there's no need to worry about food and drink, and if you're sick, you can get treatment and seek medical help. I wasn't exaggerating. Taoyang is also building its own plantation recently, so we won't have to worry about having vegetables and fruits to eat in the future."

To make it more credible, Mr. Mei also sent him a few photos of Taoyang.

Seeing the sun room, Wu Zhen was shocked and remembered what Su Tao told him during the day, that he would plant a botanical garden by himself.

It turns out what she said was true!

Mr. Mei said earnestly:

"I helped Tao Yatou with the land design and planning for Taoyang. She was generous and gave me three places to live in Taoyang. It's just right for you, your wife and children to rent a two-bedroom, one-living room house with a kitchen and a large balcony. You can use the air conditioning as you like, and the electricity bill is very cheap."

"By the way, your son should be old enough to go to school and learn something. I still have some time, so I can be his teacher and give him some enlightenment. You two can just focus on your work."

These two sentences were quite shocking, and Wu Zhen fell silent immediately.

"Uncle, this is a big deal. I have to discuss it with my wife."

After hanging up the phone, the wife who had been listening asked:

"Where did Uncle Mei ask you to live?"

"Taoyang."

His wife frowned. "I've never heard of him. He's too unreliable. Although he's your father's old friend, we haven't seen each other for over a decade. Things have changed and people have changed. He's untrustworthy. He might be coveting your abilities and trying to trick you into joining her and cheat you."

Wu Zhen was not happy: "My dad wouldn't make a mistake. Besides, Uncle Mei might not know that I have special abilities. He might really think Taoyang is a good place and want us to move there."

The wife became firm: "I don't care. Aren't we doing well now? Why should we risk going to an unknown and unfamiliar place? Besides, your supernatural power is too precious. With the support of the warlord, our family will be safer in this end times. Who can we rely on if we go there?"

Wu Zhen felt that what his wife said made sense, and his throbbing heart slowly calmed down.

But when he saw the red and green plants on the balcony, he couldn't help but wonder if that plantation was real and he could take care of it.

Go to sleep, it’s all in your dreams.
