Chapter 137 Huang Zhi, Come Move In with Me
"By the way, what are you doing out there?"
Not wanting to hear words like thank you anymore, Meng Ci changed the subject.
Zhang Mingtian was stunned for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "I just went to check on the other households in the building to see if anyone is still alive."
After seeing the temperature rise today, Zhang Mingtian went upstairs first and knocked on Meng Ci's door, but no one opened the door after knocking for a long time.
Zhang Mingtian was worried at the time, but his reason told him that Meng Ci and Shen Que were so powerful that nothing would happen to them.
So I went downstairs again to check the situation of several other families.
Meng Ci was not familiar with the others, but he thought of Huang Zhi and the others. After all, they had fought side by side before, so he asked.
Zhang Mingtian sighed, "Wu Can lives next door to my house. He lives alone."
"Before the severe drop in temperature, he gave me a key. Just now I opened the door and went in to see that he had been frozen to death."
When Zhang Mingtian said this, his voice choked up again.
After all, he had been in the security team for several months, and they had killed tigers and patrolled together, so there was still some friendship between them.
Before the severe drop in temperature came, Zhang Mingtian was still thinking that it was very dangerous for Wu Can to live alone, so after hesitating for a while, he invited him to come and live with him.
As a result, Wu Can refused and asked Zhang Mingtian not to be so kind, lest he bring a bad person home.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mingtian felt even sadder.
Zhang Mingtian went to see Wu Can first and found him covered with a thick quilt, lying on the bed with a smile on his face, looking lifeless.
Zhang Mingtian regretted that if he had insisted a little longer and let Wu Can come and live with him, he would not have died.
"As for Huang Zhi, he is still alive."
"But his parents had frozen to death, and the only person left in the family was a six-year-old child."
Huang Zhi was 33 years old. His wife froze to death when the temperature dropped for the first time.
Afterwards, he took his family away from the refugee resettlement site and worked hard every day, sometimes even working 24 hours a day, just to keep his family alive.
But unexpectedly, my parents still froze to death.
As for the other families, all the members of one family were frozen to death, while the others were all alive.
Hearing this, Meng Ci and Shen Que sighed.
"By the way." Zhang Mingtian suddenly spoke.
"Wu Can told me before that if he didn't make it, he wanted me to take out his stuff and divide it into three parts, one for you, one for Huang Zhi, and one for me."
"Brother, wait a moment, I'll go and divide it."
After Zhang Mingtian finished speaking, he took off his gloves, took out a key from his pocket with trembling hands, and turned to look at the door next to him.
Meng Ci refused.
"No need, we have food. You two families can share Wu Can's food."
Although Wu Cancai has just passed away, it would not be a good idea to divide up his things.
But in the end times, if you don’t do this, your things will be taken away by others.
Zhang Mingtian insisted, "No, Wu Can said he would give you a copy, so he has to give it to you."
"This is his last wish, and it must be carried out."
Zhang Mingtian insisted, so Meng Ci followed him in to take a look.
But in the end, Meng Ci only took half a bag of coal and two flower pots filled with soil.
There are still some hard frozen vegetables on the flowerpots.
What Meng Ci liked most was the soil in the flowerpot. He could take it back and grow vegetables.
Seeing that they took too little, Zhang Mingtian picked up half a bag of noodles and half a bag of rice to give to Meng Ci and the others.
Meng Ci sternly refused and said bluntly that he still had rice and flour and didn't need them.
When they got home, the stove in the house was already burning brightly and warm. They put their things down and quickly warmed themselves by the fire. After they warmed themselves up, they took off their outer clothes, towels, gloves and other things.
Then he took out some ingredients and Shen Que was responsible for cooking.
Meng Ci moved out all the flower pots that were used to grow vegetables from the space and started watering them. He also took care of the newly moved pots and planted some more vegetables.
Downstairs, Huang Zhi heard Zhang Mingtian knocking on the door, so he dressed himself and his child warmly before opening the door.
"Brother Zhang." Huang Zhi looked unhappy and spoke weakly.
Zhang Mingtian didn't enter the house and sighed.
Zhang Mingtian felt bad when he saw the child in his arms with dull eyes, just like a rag doll.
"Huang Zhi, Ning'er hasn't recovered yet?" Zhang Mingtian reached out and touched the head of Huang Zhi's child Huang Ning.
Huang Zhi shook his head.
Zhang Mingtian sighed and explained his purpose.
"Before the severe drop in temperature, Wu Can said that if he didn't make it, the things in the house would be divided among us."
"Brother Meng and his friends took some charcoal up, and the rest was divided between our two families."
Before Zhang Mingtian came to see Huang Zhi, he discussed it with his family. Now Huang Zhi has a six-year-old child, and the child has mental problems, so his life must be difficult.
Thinking that Huang Zhi was a good person, Zhang Mingtian suggested that Huang Zhi bring the children to live with them so that the two families could take care of each other.
Song Meixuan and Zhang's mother thought about it and felt that it was okay.
Moreover, Song Meixuan is pregnant, Zhang's mother is too old, and Zhang Mingtian is the only young and strong man in the family. If they encounter danger, it will be difficult to protect them.
Therefore, both of them agreed to this.
Zhang Mingtian expressed this idea, "Huang Zhi, if you are willing, we can move today. If you are not willing, we will not force you."
Huang Zhi was deeply moved when he heard Zhang Mingtian's thoughts.
"I do. I do."
Now he is a grown man with a child. He has to go to the security team every day and work hard to make a living. It will be a problem to keep the child.
Now that Zhang Mingtian is willing to help him, Huang Zhi is naturally very grateful.
Zhang Mingtian still analyzed the pros and cons of the matter to prevent Huang Zhi from regretting it later.
"Think about this again."
"You know my family situation. I have a wife and a mother. If you come, you will definitely be the one who suffers."
Huang Zhi shook his head and said, "No problem."
In Huang Zhi's mind, these are not problems.
Moreover, there are two women in Zhang Mingtian's family, so they should be more careful in taking care of the children.
Huang Ning's mental problems improved after feeling the warmth.
Since Huang Zhi agreed, Zhang Mingtian didn't say much. He went back and told Song Meixuan and the others about it, and started helping with the move.
Because Song Meixuan's belly was almost six months old, she stayed at home with Huang Ning, and Zhang's mother helped to move some light things.
Because the weather was still cold, Zhang Mingtian thought about it and decided to move the stove in Huang Zhi's house to a slightly larger house.
Then he installed the stove in the middle of the room, built three beds with bed boards, and separated them with curtains.
The temperature is too cold, so living together can not only reduce the consumption of coal and firewood, but also allow people to take care of each other.
Now that Zhang Mingtian’s home has things from three families, he can live a more comfortable life.
