Chapter 116

I just asked Chen Cong and Jia Shu to go to the hospital to deliver some medicine, but who would have thought that they would bring back someone!

When the people from the Shen family saw Liu Tuan, they were all a little confused.

It was Shen's mother Cheng Ru who reacted first. She asked in surprise: "Liu Tuan, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad? Are you sick?"

Ever since Wei Yan was carried back by someone, the old lady now looks at everyone's face before seeing them, for fear that someone else might be injured or sick.

At first everyone laughed at her for being so paranoid, but they didn't expect that she would actually meet another one.

Although Liu Tuan repeatedly stated that he was fine, after listening to Chen Cong and Jia Shu's explanations, nothing he said would be of any use.

The old lady pushed him to sit on the sofa without saying a word, went into the kitchen, brought a bowl of ham and cabbage soup and stuffed it into his hand.

Because Wei Yan is still recuperating from illness, and the stove is burning at home all day long, the soup can be found all the time.

The old lady simply watched the time to supplement Wei Yan's nutrition. She brought him a bowl of soup every two hours. After just a few days of eating, he had some fat on his face.

Didn’t Liu Tuanlai just follow and take advantage?

Holding the bowl of soup and smelling the rich meat aroma that he hadn't smelled for a long time, Liu Tuan swallowed subconsciously, then looked at Shen's mother in shock, not knowing what to say.

What time is it?

How precious a bowl of broth must be at this time!

He really didn't dare to answer it.

"Don't look at it, drink it quickly. If you dawdle any longer, my aunt will get angry and you'll be in trouble.

This is my aunt’s treasured ham, it’s been stored for many years, most people don’t have the luxury of eating it.”

Seeing Liu Tuan like this, Wei Yan leaned on the bed and laughed twice, then spoke slowly.

Mother Shen also said: "Eat quickly, you must have a stomach full of cold air after coming back from outside, drink a bowl of soup to warm yourself up, it is better than using your internal organs to warm your stomach."

No matter whether she really understands or not, there is an old Chinese doctor at home, and Shen's mother now speaks in a set way.

After hearing what she said, Liu Tuan couldn't refuse anymore. He quickly thanked her and picked up the bowl to take a sip.

The soup was made with the ham bones, so there wasn't much meat in it, but because it was stewed for a long time, it was definitely tasty.

Although there is not much meat in the soup, it contains the tenderest cabbage hearts that have just been picked and fresh corn cut into small pieces.

These two things are good at enhancing the flavor of the food. When paired with the rich aroma of the ham, it is really salty, fragrant, fresh and sweet.

Liu Tuan took a mouthful of soup in his mouth and thought it tasted so good that he was reluctant to swallow it.

He couldn't help but let out a "hmm" and squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

Seeing him like this, Mother Shen was also very happy.

He then ran to the stove and brought out a plate of small corn tortillas that were still baking in the residual heat. He placed it on the coffee table in front of Liu Tuan, motioning for him to eat it along with the tortillas.

It is called a tortilla, but the way this tortilla is made is different from ordinary tortillas.

Because a little bit of baking powder, milk powder and sugar are added to it, it is more similar to the method of making bread, and is softer and easier to chew than ordinary biscuits.

The sweet, crispy outside and soft inside corn tortillas, served with the fresh and fragrant broth, that taste - it's something Liu Tuan hasn't enjoyed for a long, long time.

Since he had already started eating, he didn't bother to be polite.

He lowered his head and said nothing, eating until his stomach was full in one breath, feeling extremely satisfied.

While he was eating, his family had already become busy again.

Just by looking at the clothes he was wearing, you could tell that he hadn't taken a shower in a while.

Father Shen didn't say anything. He moved a small stove from the bedroom and put it directly into the bathroom. After raising the stove, he hung the shower curtain.

Because the room is well sealed, no matter how low the temperature outside is, with this stove, the temperature in the bathroom can reach about 20 degrees in half an hour at most.

Although this temperature was considered cold in the past, it can be said to be quite warm now.

With hot water available, taking a shower is no problem.

There is no shortage of hot water at home. After all, there is a stove burning 24 hours a day.

What's more, Chencong received so much rainwater in the early days, and it has not been used up until now.

In addition, even though Cancan went to work in the group, she deliberately left several large buckets of water before leaving. Now the two families have no shortage of water for eating or living.

So, when Liu Tuan had eaten and drunk well, wiped the sweat from his head, and was about to say a few words of thanks, he was called to the bathroom by Father Shen.

After giving him a set of Jiashu's clothes, he closed the door and left.

So after having a big meal, Liu Tuan took a nice hot bath.

When he changed into warm clothes cleanly and refreshed, shaved his face with Jiashu's razor, and walked into the room again feeling comfortable, Liu Tuan really felt dazed for a moment as if he didn't know where he was.

He turned to look at Wei Yan, who looked at him with an understanding smile, and behind the smile was full of pride and boasting.

There was no need to explain the meaning. Anyone could see clearly that this boy was showing off naked.

Is my home good? Is my home comfortable? Is my family awesome?

Liu Tuan couldn't help laughing.

He walked over, reached out and patted Wei Yan on the forehead, and cursed: "You are so beautiful."

Wei Yan was not angry either, he laughed: "Not only am I stunned by her beauty, aren't you stunned by her beauty too now?"

Liu Tuan had no choice but to nod his head.

"This is how people should live!" He sat down beside Wei Yan's bed and sighed.

The smile on Wei Yan's face faded a little.

He turned his head and looked outside the balcony, looking at the still dense snowflakes, and said gently but firmly: "It will get better, and days like this will become normal."

Liu Tuan followed his gaze and looked outside. He did not respond but nodded solemnly.

The two sides started arguing again about how to sleep at night.

Liu Tuan insisted on living in one of the other two houses.

His reason was simple - there was nothing missing over there, including beds and bedding, and as long as he brought a stove over, he would have a wonderful life.

There was absolutely no need to cause more trouble to the family, let alone to prop up the bed again.

But the Shen family refused to do it.

Are you kidding? Why did he go to the hospital?

That's a heart problem.

Instead of letting him live alone in that empty house, it would be better to let him live in the regiment headquarters!

At least there is Xiao Zhang to look after me.

What's more, how come there is nothing missing?

Those two houses have everything, but how long have they not been occupied?

I guess the bedding in the room is so damp that water can be wrung out of it.

How can people live here!

The two sides talked for a long time, but neither of them gave in and the dispute continued.

In the end, it was Jiashu who made the suggestion.

Jiashu said that he would move to Shichen's room next door. Shichen was not at home anyway, so even if he came back, the two of them could live in one room.

He could vacate the bed that he currently shares with the old man and give it to Liu Tuan. This would not only make it more convenient for the old man to take care of him, but also avoid the fuss of moving the bed to make room.

It is convenient for both parties.

His proposal finally received unanimous approval.

So Liu Tuan also stayed in the Shen family.

What Xiao Zhang said before was not an exaggeration. He said that if Liu Tuan went home, the house would probably be very lively every day.

Even if the staff at the regiment headquarters could hold back and share some of the burden, there were still many things that had to be decided by Liu Tuan.

As a result, on the second day after Liu Tuan moved into the Shen family's home, people began to come to the house in an endless stream.

When Mr. Shen went to water the vegetables early in the morning, he opened the iron door on the 18th floor, anticipating this situation.

But he still didn't expect that the people coming and going would not stop for more than ten hours from seven or eight in the morning to seven or eight in the evening.

Even though the stove at home was burning brightly, the living room was completely dry due to the people coming and going. Even Wei Yan was forced by the old man to move to Shen's father's room to stay temporarily.

Liu Tuan felt very sorry and asked to leave with his family several times, but was rejected every time.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen were busy preparing hot water for him and the guests, and they would occasionally stuff one or two pancakes over.

Because if you don't watch them busy throughout the day, you really can't feel how many people have put in tremendous efforts in places that no one can see.

Liu Tuan didn't stay at the Shen family for too long. He couldn't stand it anymore on the third day.

Because the course of treatment of traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by the old man was seven days, Shen's father and mother forced him to stay for a few more days.

But later someone from the regiment came to say that the second batch of fuel and supplies distributed by the headquarters had arrived in Bac Ninh.

Not to mention Liu Tuan, even Wei Yan couldn't hold it in any longer, and the next day he returned to the regiment headquarters despite his family's objections.

They left in a hurry, and even the Chinese medicine that Liu Tuan was going to take that day was prepared by Shen's mother and then delivered by Shen Cong.

The reason why Chen Cong went to the regiment headquarters was not simply to deliver medicine to Liu Tuan. She and Tongtong also received a notice at the same time and were recruited to participate in the greenhouse construction project.

Now there are more and more cooperation projects between our country and Country E, and the amount of materials received is also increasing day by day.

Just like coal, the coal we receive now, in addition to being able to supply the normal consumption of the people, there is enough to supply the needs of agricultural greenhouses.

The snow has finally stopped, but the temperature shows no signs of rising.

In this situation, all people can do is adapt to the environment and learn to survive in the new environment.

This is actually not that difficult for everyone.

Think about it, the heat and drought lasted for more than two years, but didn’t everyone survive?

What's more, we now have the support of the country.

The first place Chen Cong and Tongtong went to was the vegetable base of the Agricultural College.

Because this place was originally a planting base affiliated to the Agricultural College, it is the strongest in the city in terms of resource support, area, and the capabilities of its staff.

Therefore, they are also the place that provides the most food to the city.

At least one-third of the food used by citizens now comes from here.

This time, the city decided to build ten state-of-the-art large greenhouses on the site of the Agricultural College.

Although it is said to be the latest model, it is actually not that new, only relatively speaking.

Because the infrastructure suffered a devastating disaster during the earthquake, there is still a huge gap between production and demand for building materials.

Fortunately, the materials sent by the country this time include not only coal, but also light steel, tempered glass which is indispensable for building greenhouses, and a large amount of agricultural film.

Chen Cong and Tong Tong stayed at the Agricultural College for a whole week. Their main responsibility was to bend the light steel to the appropriate angles.

Because the tools we have now are not complete enough, and the power supply is limited every day, sometimes supernatural powers are more convenient to use than machines.

A week later, the work at the Agricultural College was completed, and the two were given a day off to go home and rest and change clothes, and then they agreed to gather together on Monday to go to the community.

When they heard that they were going back to the community, not only Chencong, but even Tongtong became happy.

Although the little guy is young, he has been working hard at the base these days.

I was often exhausted at the end of the day, and many times I had to be carried back to the dormitory by the uncles from the work group.

After a week, the chubby cheeks on the child's face disappeared, and he looked like he had grown taller and much taller.

Seeing him like this, Chen Cong was a little worried. He was afraid that when he got home, his parents would feel sorry for their grandson and he would be scolded as well.

It was not until I heard the team leader say that the next location was a residential area, and the little guy jumped three feet high and looked very energetic, that I finally felt relieved.

You Tongtong thought of Cancan, whom she hadn't seen for more than a month, and her husband.

They have only been out for a week and they are already so tired. I wonder what the three people who left early are doing now?

The working group's car dropped the aunt and nephew off at Fulin's gate and then left. The two of them walked back slowly holding hands.

After not coming back for a week, Chen Cong and Tongtong once again felt the difference outside.

They found that all the snow in the community had been shoveled away. In addition to the square in the middle having been cleared, the roads between the four buildings were also connected.

And now the yard is no longer silent. They met several neighbors on the way back.

Everyone was dressed like cotton balls and walked clumsily on the road, but everyone looked busy and obviously had something to do.

After entering the building, Chen Cong took Tongtong and subconsciously walked towards the stairs.

But before she took two steps, the little guy suddenly stopped, pulled her and shouted loudly: "Auntie, Auntie, do you think the elevator can be used?!"

Chen Cong was stunned.

Before she could come to her senses, Tongtong had already pulled her to the elevator. Only then did she realize that the elevator was indeed powered on.

The buttons all light up.

Tongtong cheered and reached out to press the button, and the elevator door opened.

The two of them got on the elevator, and even when they walked down from the 19th floor, they were still a little unsure, as if it was all a dream.

They were only away from home for a week. What on earth was going on outside?

The whole family was delighted to see them come back.

Chen Xi immediately hugged his son and kissed his little face fiercely, making Tongtong feel embarrassed.

And Chen Cong immediately asked the doubts in his heart: "Dad, Mom, is the elevator usable now? Is there a call in our community?"

“Yeah, there’s a call,” Father Shen replied cheerfully.

Then he took the coat his daughter had taken off and said with a smile, "You are lucky. If you had come back ten minutes later, the elevator would have stopped running. You arrived at the perfect time."

“Is this operation divided into time periods?”

"Of course! Electricity is in short supply in our city right now. It's already great to be able to supply electricity for the elevator for two hours each morning and evening, but we have to be frugal!"

After listening to his father's explanation, Chen Cong realized that Liu Tuan's previous statement that civilian electricity supply would soon be restored had really come true, because the second batch of resources from the country had been delivered.

Although we can only supply electricity for daily use for two hours in the morning and evening each day, as well as electricity for the elevators, everyone is already very satisfied.

These two hours are the rush hours for getting to and from get off work, and can solve a lot of problems for everyone.

In addition, it is said that the water pipes are being repaired, and I believe that the tap water supply will be restored soon.

When that time comes, people's normal lives can be basically guaranteed.

"You know, many of the first people who went to the temporary gathering point have returned. They got warm clothes and fuel, and now most of them have returned home.

I heard that a lot of those people had a blessing in disguise and were recruited to participate in the greenhouse construction when they were at the gathering point.

Now, even the food problem is solved. Xiao Kai said that the greenhouse is a long-term project that may last for half a year or even longer. It's like finding a permanent job. I won't be short of food and drink for a long time."

Mother Shen said this and sighed: "You say, is the woman who hanged herself before Building No. 3 stupid? Just hold on for a few more days, really just hold on for a few more days, and life will be better.

How could she have so little confidence in the future?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment after hearing what the old lady said.

In fact, it is like this sometimes. Hope may be not far away, but you just can’t see it for the time being.

Some people can make it through, but others are just a little bit short and ultimately give up.

Thinking about the people who died in the past due to various reasons, everyone feels a little sad.

Chen Cong changed his clothes, took the ginger honey water handed to him by his mother and took a big sip. Then he continued what his mother had just said and asked, "Mom, has Gu Kai come back these few days?"

"He came back. He came back with Shi Chen and his sister. Well, he said he came back, but he didn't stay for long. He didn't even stay at home for a night.

I came back, took a shower, changed my clothes and left. They said they were going to the mountains this week and would not be back until the end of next week.

But it seems they will be returning to the community next week. I heard Cancan mutter that they went directly from the mountains to the community and then came back from the community. "

"We want to go to the community too! We'll go the day after tomorrow morning!"

Tongtong was already very happy about going back to the community, and when he heard that his uncle and Cancan were also going, he became even happier.

He shouted directly in the house.

"Ah? You're still leaving!" Mother Shen looked at her daughter, with surprise in her voice.

"Well, we just came back to take a shower and change clothes. But we are better than them, so we can stay at home for another day."

Chen Cong was quite happy to hear that her husband and his family were also going to the community.

"I want to go too! I want to go back to the community too! I want to go home!"

Shanshan was already extremely envious when she heard her brother showing off what he had done at the base.

But her family had told her before that her brother was going to work and do important things, so she shouldn't make a fuss.

So the little girl kept it in.

Now when the little girl heard that her aunt and brother were actually going back to the community, she immediately refused to accept it.

In Cancan's heart, the community is her real home. She has been away for so long that she has long missed home.

Seeing his little daughter making a fuss, Chen Xi hurried to try to persuade her, but it would have been better if he hadn't tried to persuade her. The more he tried to persuade her, the more excited the little girl became, and she actually started to cry as she spoke.

"How about we go back and take a look? We have been away for half a year, and we don't know what our home is like now. I also want to go back and take a look." Mother Shen hesitated and said.

Hearing his mother say this, Chen Xi also interjected: "That's right, we have been out for a long time, and the weather is basically like this now. Although it won't warm up for a while, at least it doesn't seem to be getting worse.

We can go back to the community, or we can go back to the community?

If the conditions there are too bad, we can just wait for Congcong and Xiaokai to finish their work and come back together. Anyway, we have a car, so it won’t be a big deal.”

“Then your Uncle Gu…” Father Shen was still a little hesitant.

"I'll go back with you." The old man made the final decision.

"I can't help much if I stay here in this weather, and it's uncomfortable to be confined to the rooftop every day. I'll go back to the community with you, at least I can walk around in the yard and exercise."

How many elderly people are willing to stay on the roof all the time?

Who wouldn’t want to have a yard to stroll around in?

Even though Fulin now has an elevator, there are only four floors, and the ground downstairs is still so slippery. Not to mention the old man, even Shen's father and mother are unwilling to go downstairs unless they have to.

I was afraid that I would fall and cause trouble for my family.

It’s different when I go back to the community. Even if the weather is still cold and the ground is slippery and it’s hard to go out, I can still walk around in my own yard. That place is much bigger than Fulin!

What's more, there are familiar neighbors with whom you can talk and hang out.

If you hadn't said it, no one would have felt anything, but after hearing it, the whole family's spirits were lifted.

Everyone spent the rest of the time packing up and preparing to go home.

In fact, for Chen Cong and Gu Kai, they will definitely have to follow the working group to various bases and participate in production and construction most of the time in the future.

In their occasional free time, it makes no difference to them whether they go back to the community or to Fulin.

So since everyone wants to go home, Chen Cong will not disagree.

After packing up Fulin's things, they handed another set of house keys to Zhou Ying and his wife. The next morning, the whole family set out for the community.

There were children and elderly people on the bus, so there was naturally laughter and joy along the way.

Chen Cong drove behind his father's car and walked on the familiar road.

Listening to Shanshan's singing coming from the car in front, she was in a trance for a moment and couldn't help but think of the snowstorm she encountered when she was picking up Jiashu.

Just as she was still sighing in her heart, she heard Jiashu, who was sitting next to her, say, "Why does it feel like a dream? It's only been a short time, and everything has changed."

He pointed to a place not far away and said, "Sister-in-law, do you remember? Our car broke down here. At that time, I really thought we might not survive. Who knew..."

He said with emotion: "I really can't imagine it. We managed to get through such a difficult time."

"No matter how difficult it is, we can get through it. It's not just a heavy snowfall. We've gone through fewer difficulties before, but we've gotten through them all, haven't we?"

The old man glared at Jiashu and said, "You are so young, don't say such depressing words. I am so old and still full of confidence in the future. How can a child like you have so many regrets?"

These words made Jiashu sit up straight.

He turned around and laughed and retorted loudly: "Uncle, please don't wrongly accuse me, I am full of confidence in the future!

Yesterday, my aunt told me that she would introduce me to a girl, and she said that the girl is very beautiful. My best days are still to come! I am full of hope! "

His words caused Shen Cong and the old man to burst into laughter.

Yes, no matter what you have been through, it is all in the past.

The days ahead will only get better and better, and hope lies ahead.

The author has something to say:

This is the end of this book. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!

Thinking about these two and a half months, I am really tired~

Thank you all for your support and companionship along the way. I really appreciate it. If it weren't for your encouragement, I really wouldn't have been able to persist for so long, updating so many words every day for two whole months. Thank you all for giving me a new understanding of my potential.

I will have three days off tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will start updating the extra chapters on Monday and talk about the days after the apocalypse.

Friends who like it can wait for a while. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to read it. It will not affect the integrity of the full text.

The next book I will write will be "Reborn to the Day When the Natural Disaster Strikes". Because this book is too painful to write six days a week and ten days a week, I plan to save the manuscript for the next book and start the official update in October.

Friends, if you haven't collected it yet, please collect it! This way you will know when I open the book.

Rebirth Back to the Day When the Natural Disaster Strikes

"Mom, wake up, we have to find my dad quickly."

This was the first sentence Ke Bei heard when she opened her eyes.

Then I felt my legs lighten as the heavy stone on them was lifted up and thrown aside by the boy in front of me who was less than six years old.

The severe pain came and she suddenly woke up, realizing that she was reborn, back to the moment before the natural disaster.

Returning with her was her son Cheng Tian, ​​who was born after the end of the world.

"Can you get up? Hurry up, the bridge is going to collapse!"

Without waiting for her to respond, her son grabbed her up, threw her on his shoulders and ran away.

Lying on the baby's back, Ke Bei closed her eyes silently, and understood——

The cub's superpowers returned with him.

--

After Cheng Gan retired from the army, he opened a car repair shop and had good business. In addition, one person's food fed the whole family, so he lived a happy life.

Until one day a bridge in the city collapsed, and a woman with a child found him and said to him -

"I am your wife and he is your son. Come with us now. We will die together as a family!"

Cheng Gan: “…”

I've never been in a relationship, so where do my wife and son come from?!

Copywriter 2: "Save the villain cubs in the infinite disaster"

Ten years after the end of the world, the couple Shao Qi and Le Xuan died surrounded by wolves.

When they woke up again, they found that they were bound together to a system called "Rescue Villain Cubs in Another World".

The system requires them to travel through various alien worlds, save those cubs who have either turned evil or died due to natural disasters, suffering, human frame-up, etc., and become their parents.

If the mission fails, they will return to the moment before their death when they were surrounded by wolves and experience the pain of being bitten by wolves again;

When the mission is finally completed, they will be able to choose a world they like to stay in and fulfill Shao Qi's last wish before his death.

Le Xuan turned around and asked: "What wish did you make before you died?"

Shao Qi: “…I forgot.”

In order to fulfill this forgotten wish, the two began to travel through various small worlds, saving cubs and trying their best to be good parents.

Apocalypse 1: In a world of biological alienation, rescue the genius boy who was forgotten in the laboratory by a scientific research boss;

Apocalypse II: Plants mutate, poison grows everywhere, and the search for the blind daughter begins;

Apocalypse III: natural disasters, extreme cold, and surviving with twin daughters;

End of the world 4: spiritual energy, supernatural powers, relying on the genius son to lie down;

…

Several years later, Shao Qi and Le Xuan felt relieved when they saw that the sixth child they raised had secured the position of the leader of the base at a young age.

The two of them waved their sleeves, left quietly without a trace of cloud, and returned to the original world.

Standing at the door of their former home, the two smiled at each other.

I didn't expect that the moment I pushed the door open, I would be met with six pairs of resentful eyes at the same time.

"Dad! Mom!"

Looking at the noisy kids in the room, Le Xuan rubbed his brows and tilted his head: "Isn't your wish to go home and live well together?"

Shao Qi: “…”

There is another sentence at the end - and our children.
