"Xiao Zhu, how many days are you staying this time? The fruit in the orchard is all ripe, why don't you stay a couple more days?"
Liu Jing linked arms with Bai Xizhu, her face crinkling with laughter, but a hint of melancholy lingered in her smile.
"Grandma, how about you come home with me for a couple of days?" Bai Xizhu said coquettishly.
"Sure!" Liu Jing replied with a smile. "We'll have to wait a few days. Our apples, dates, and persimmons will be ripe in the next few months, and people will come to the countryside to collect them. Your grandfather and I will have to be there."
Liu Jing and Bai Zhengxuan lived in the city when they were young. They came to the countryside to retire when they got older. The two were used to saving money. Even though they had high pensions, they couldn't stay idle and could earn a lot by managing the orchard.
"Grandma, we're planning to open a supermarket. Why don't we stop selling the fruit from our orchard and keep it for ourselves?" Bai Xizhu's eyes lit up.
Anyway, the things in the space won't rot. If you can't finish eating them all, you can exchange them for supplies in the apocalypse.
"Open a supermarket?" Bai Zhengxuan was taken aback. "Your dad got fired from his job?"
Bai Zhengxuan's heart skipped a beat. He hoped that if he and his wife were to be diagnosed with terminal illnesses at the same time, their children's jobs would also be in trouble.
"...No, I'm graduating soon, and I'm planning to start my own supermarket!" Bai Xizhu said.
"Wow! Our granddaughter is really something!" Bai Zhengxuan's face instantly lit up with a smile. "Since our granddaughter is running a supermarket, we won't sell our fruit anymore, it's all yours!"
Where Bai Xizhu couldn't see, Bai Zhengxuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Is Xiaozhu short of money for opening a supermarket?" Liu Jing whispered in Bai Xizhu's ear. "If you're short of money, just say so. Your grandfather and I have saved quite a bit of money!"
"Yes, we need it!" Bai Yifan quickly replied.
"Go away! What's it to you!" Liu Jing rolled her eyes.
Bai Yifan scratched his head sheepishly, silently took out his phone, and glanced at his WeChat Moments.
Not a single order...
Sigh, I'm so poor!
"Grandma, how much money do you have?" Bai Xizhu asked Liu Jing with shining eyes.
Living off one's parents is a highly despicable behavior.
But given that the world will end in three months, the money will be worthless and impossible to spend.
The most important thing is to spend all the money at home on supplies as soon as possible.
"I have over two hundred thousand, you can have it all!"
Liu Jing glanced at Bai Yifan and whispered in Bai Xizhu's ear.
Bai Yifan: ...
Grandma, could you please speak a little softer?
"Give them all to me?" Bai Xizhu's eyes lit up even more.
"It's all yours!" Liu Jing winked at Bai Xizhu and whispered in her ear, "Don't tell your brother!"
"Okay!" Bai Xizhu winked playfully at Liu Jing.
Bai Yifan looked up at the sky and sometimes thought his grandma was quite cute!
Older people are generally hard of hearing, but this teenager isn't hard of hearing!
You could have spoken much more quietly when you were being biased!
Bai Xizhu's old house is a two-story building. Originally, the old house had mud walls, but when the two elders came here to retire, they rebuilt a two-story building.
As soon as they arrived home, the two elders placed a bunch of delicious food in front of Bai Xizhu and Bai Yifan.
While Bai Yifan was eating pomegranates and didn't see it, Liu Jing secretly slipped a bank card into Bai Xizhu's hand. This was the couple's life savings.
Bai Xizhu accepted it with a smile without any hesitation.
This money could buy a large amount of warm clothing and things like wheelchairs for the elderly.
Now that we have space, we should buy everything we can.
"Xiao Zhu, take a rest first!" Bai Zhengxuan said with a smile, taking a kitchen knife as he walked outside. "Grandpa will make you your favorite chicken stew with mushrooms!"
"Okay!" Bai Xizhu grinned.
In the Bai family, only the men know how to cook. From her grandfather to Bai Yifan, they are all skilled cooks.
Bai Zhengxuan gave Bai Xizhu and Bai Yifan a deep look, then turned around with a worried expression.
As people get older, their bodies can't keep up. Bai Zhengxuan rubbed his eyes hard and walked towards the chicken coop.
Sigh, while he and his wife are still alive, let them spend as much time as possible with their children!
Bai Zhengxuan left with a melancholy expression. He never expected that he and his wife, who were both in excellent health, would both be diagnosed with terminal illnesses!
"Xiao Fan, what are you standing there for!" Bai Xizhu nudged Bai Yifan. "Go help with the cooking!"
"Okay!" Bai Yifan glanced at the skeleton in the hall, stood up and ran outside.
No matter how many times he came, Bai Yifan's legs would go weak every time he saw the skeleton in the lobby.
Liu Jing is a retired forensic doctor who is very dedicated to specimens.
Young people often keep a lot of figurines at home, while in grandparents' homes, there are skeletons and various human specimens everywhere.
Of course, all of these are fake.
These fakes are all high-quality replicas, one-to-one. Bai Yifan's legs go weak every time he sees them!
Only Bai Xizhu and Liu Jing remained in the hall.
Liu Jing glanced outside, opened her mouth as if to speak to Bai Xizhu, but didn't say anything, hesitating to speak.
"Grandma, is something the matter?"
Bai Xizhu ate persimmon cakes like a squirrel, her mouth bulging.
"fine!"
Looking at her adorable granddaughter, Liu Jing felt a pang of sadness, knowing she might never see her again, and tears streamed down her face.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Xizhu was startled and hurriedly grabbed tissues to wipe Liu Jing's tears.
Her grandmother doesn't look like she's alright at all.
