Chapter 89 Meeting Zhu Lei

Most of these people are unarmed educated people, and now, in order to survive, they have become professional lumberjacks.

Zhu Lei was fine, he was young and strong, but some old comrades collapsed quickly under such high pressure.

When he first arrived, Zhu Lei cried and made a fuss, but in the end he was defeated by reality. He learned how to chop wood, cook, and repair the roof.

Less than two months after arriving at the farm, Zhu Lei has been completely transformed, like a different person. When he goes out now, no one would ever guess that he was the high-ranking "young master" before.

"Zhu Lei, Zhu Lei, come here for a moment. The leader wants to see you. Hurry up."

Zhu Lei was working when he heard the captain's shout. He handed the chainsaw in his hand to his companion and followed the captain down the mountain.

"Captain, do you know which leader is looking for me?"

"Security Department, I don't know what we want you for, go quickly."

Zhu Lei has now learned to bend down and bow his head. When he saw Yang Dashu, he immediately called him leader:

"Leader, I'm Zhu Lei. I heard you were looking for me?"

"Come with me." Yang Dashu didn't say much and took Zhu Lei away directly.

Zhu Lei didn't know why his leader wanted him to do something, and he felt a little nervous. Half an hour later, they finally walked from the forest area to the gate.

"Go in, someone is looking for you. Keep an eye on the time, one hour." After saying that, Yang Dashu went back to the dormitory at the back.

Zhu Lei gently pushed open the door of the wooden house and walked in. His eyes immediately fell on Zhu Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan, why are you here?" Zhu Lei's voice was filled with joy and disbelief. He looked at the other three people and asked:

"How many of you are?"

Three pairs of eyes stared at Zhu Lei, and everyone felt uncomfortable. Zhu Lei's face and hands were covered with thick frostbite. His face was swollen and bloodshot. He looked completely unrecognizable as a human.

Zhu Yuanyuan didn't recognize that this was her father at all. She leaned against the person in front of her. She was so scared that she took several steps back and hid her body behind Li Hongru.

Li Anbang stepped forward and told him their identities and the whole story. When Zhu Lei heard that Liu Shuangshuang had escaped by herself and left Zhu Yuanyuan alone, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

Over the past month, Zhu Lei's pride had been defeated by reality. He bowed deeply to the three people opposite him:

"Thank you all very much for the trouble. As long as I, Zhu Lei, am still alive, I will repay your kindness one day."

"These are what we should do, you're welcome." Seeing Zhu Lei like this, Li Anbang felt very happy. After all, they were running around for Zhu Yuanyuan.

Now that Zhu Lei can thank them, Li Anbang feels that all the hardships he has endured along the way have not been in vain.

"The main reason we came here this time is to find Yuanyuan's home. Can you take her with you? Otherwise, we can only send her to an orphanage." Li Anbang directly stated his purpose.

Zhu Lei became anxious when he heard this. This place is a place where nine out of ten people die. Not to mention the children, even the adults are struggling to survive. How can it be possible if Zhu Yuanyuan comes?

"Comrade, you have seen my situation. This place is really not suitable for children to live in. My mother passed away just three days after she came here, and my father is not in good health now." Zhu Lei burst into tears as he spoke.

He was really sad. More than a month ago, he was a carefree office worker who had no worries about food and drink and no work. Now, he even felt that living was a luxury.

I originally thought that Liu Shuangshuang would treat her daughter well after the divorce, but who knew that her daughter's experience would be so tragic. The more Zhu Lei thought about it, the sadder he became, and he covered his face and burst into tears.

Zhu Yuanyuan now recognized that this was her father. She ran over and hugged her father and cried together.

In fact, the three people's eyes were also sore. They sympathized with the situation of Zhu Lei's family and felt disgusted and shocked by this sudden storm.

In fact, everyone understands that Zhu Lei's parents are ordinary educated people, but just because of the three words "educated", they became criminals and the target of everyone's criticism.

They didn't know who to talk to about this. They were also affected by the storm, and the reason they were safe now was because they knew the rules and were obedient.

Like millions of ordinary people, it was already difficult for them to survive this flood safely. They dared not think about, ask, or even get involved in anything unnecessary.

Li Hongru was deeply traumatized. He still remembered how Zhu Lei looked when he first met him: he was wearing a black leather jacket, twill pants, and shiny leather shoes, with a youthful smile and radiant charm on his face.

At that time, he felt inferior to Zhu Lei. Zhu Lei had the confidence that he envied and the pride that he longed for.

Unexpectedly, when we met again, Zhu Lei had become what he is now, with an image that was "not presentable" and a face that was completely unrecognizable.

He was so shocked that he didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment.

After the father and daughter had cried enough, they reorganized their appearance and Zhu Lei bowed to everyone again:

"Thank you all for bringing Yuanyuan here. Now that my daughter and I have met, I feel much more at ease. If someone is willing to adopt Yuanyuan after we go back, our whole family will be very grateful. If not, please send her to a better orphanage."

Zhu Lei has experienced a lot this month. He no longer expects anyone to adopt Yuanyuan. No matter where Yuanyuan is, as long as she is alive and safe, that's enough.

When Zhu Yuanyuan heard that she was going to be sent to an orphanage, she hugged Li Hongru's thighs on the spot:

"Uncle, please adopt me. I will be obedient. I don't want to go to an orphanage."

Li Hongru felt sad and distressed. He looked at Zhu Lei and suddenly a surge of passion erupted from him:

"Zhu Lei, don't worry, I'll take care of Yuanyuan."

"Are you... Li Hongru?" Zhu Lei widened his eyes. Now, he recognized the person in front of him.

"Yes, it's me. I never thought we would have the chance to meet again."

"Yes, we are really destined to meet. The first time we met was for a woman, and the second time we met was for a child, hahahaha..."

Zhu Lei laughed out loud, his face glowing, as if he had returned to his original self.

"Yes, it's bad luck. Take care of yourself and live well. We still have to see Yuanyuan get married and have children in the future." Li Hongru said casually.

"No problem, I will persevere and try my best to survive. There will always be a day when everything will be calm." Zhu Lei is now full of energy and has new beliefs and goals.

Time was limited, so no one wasted any more time. Li Hongru gave all the remaining medicine to Zhu Lei, and also gave him two hundred yuan just in case, and let him go back.

Watching Zhu Lei's back as he left, everyone felt a mix of emotions, a kind of sadness that was felt for their own kind.
