Chapter 241: Rich in the Mountains, Distant Relatives
Jing's mother and father, who had been drugged, felt much better after a night's rest. After seeing that the factory was officially operating, the family packed up and left their aunt's house in Wu County in an energy vehicle and a shark submarine.
During this Chinese New Year, Jingshu's relatives got a direct understanding of her family's background in the end times.
Clothes: Two sets of clean, non-damp clothes every day. This is impossible if you don’t have a dryer at home.
Food: Three standard meals a day, including milk and eggs in the morning, which shocked everyone. In the apocalypse, no family dared to eat like this. Each meal was huge, with many dishes. More importantly, my brother-in-law's daughter, Jingshu, was a big eater, leaving no food uneaten! There seemed to be endless food every day, which made my second aunt's family even more eager to get on board.
Nowadays, every family only eats two meals a day. Very few people can eat three meals a day. Those who can eat a meal of porridge a day are considered middle class.
Accommodation: They bring their own luxury tents, moisture-proof mats, down quilts, etc. There is no place to buy and sell these things in the apocalypse now, and the cotton has been welded shut, so these things must be difficult to get. They also bring their own fuel to burn on the earthen kang, and have extremely high requirements for accommodation. They can't even tolerate a little bit of mold and odor, which is very pretentious.
Line: A family that has one running car is considered awesome, but Jingshu's family has two. No one knows what's in the cars, but it seems like there's endless food, various things to use, even guns and crossbows, and a super heavy mace. Jingshu holds it like a toy, her strength is so terrifying.
Moreover, carrying so many things with you when you go out is just like moving house. It is conceivable that Jingshu's family is living a better life in the apocalypse than before the apocalypse.
The most important thing is Jingshu's terrifying fighting ability. If you thought they were just fat sheep, you were totally wrong. They are simply walking dinosaurs! Don't mess with them!
Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year. While people all over the country were enjoying the buffet, Jingshu's family took the remaining food and went back to the villa from her eldest aunt's house. After dropping off Jingnai and her third aunt Wu Youai, they came to her uncle's house in the old city area of Xishan in Wucheng.
Compared to the dirtiness and mess when I visited my uncle's house last year, this year's situation cannot be described as dirty or messy... The drainage in the old city is not good, and with heavy rain every day, the water basically spreads above the knees. This is the result of daily water control and water diversion.
Various kinds of garbage are floating on the water, and various red nematodes are running around the garbage.
There are still some places without toilets, so people throw their feces downstairs, or urinate and defecate anywhere. If you are not careful, you may be splashed with feces. Nowadays, people have to collect water from the sky. Who dares to drink water from the ground? They are just drinking urine.
Do you know why French perfume is so famous? A thousand years ago, there were no flush toilets in France. People simply disposed of their feces wherever they could, filling the entire city with a foul odor. Oh, and high heels were invented to avoid stepping in feces.
Now, the situation in the old town of Xishan has returned to France a thousand years ago. The nobles developed perfume, and Jingshu used lemon instead.
The feces soaked in water bred various bacteria and insects... There are so many people in Xishan Old Town, you can imagine how bad the living conditions here are.
The air was filled with all kinds of foul smells, and Jingshu was almost suffocated. As expected, she could never get used to the smell of bad smells in both her lives. Jingshu took out a lemon and hung it in front of her nose, and she felt better.
Jing's father has to drive slowly, otherwise the car will easily stall. If Jingshu had known that Xishan would become like this, she would have driven a shark submarine to take her parents to squeeze in.
The family arrived at their uncle's house again with great difficulty. Just like last year's Lantern Festival, Jingshu's family brought a variety of ordinary-looking foods.
Compared to last year's dull reception where the family just sat on the sofa, this time my aunt and her brother's family stood up and opened the door to greet us. The treatment was much better.
Wang Gang was the first to invite someone in: "Sister, your brother-in-law is here, please come in."
It really proves the saying: No one cares about the poor in the city, but the rich in the mountains have distant relatives.
"Oh, it's really hard to walk here now. You must be tired. Come and have some hot chicken soup. My brother spent a lot of money to get half a chicken." My aunt warmly invited people in and sat on the sofa.
Jingshu looked at the
Compared to last year, my uncle's house has obviously been carefully cleaned up. The sofa is not as greasy as last year and cannot be washed without water.
But...this year's sofa has a strong fishy smell, and there are a lot of insect eggs and mold on it.
Large chunks of wall paint had fallen off in the corners and walls, and large areas were covered in mold. Jingshu could even see larvae crawling on them.
This is what Jingshu said, that in the second year of the apocalypse, red nematodes would fall from time to time and people would stuff them into their mouths as snacks.
Now it's just red nematodes. In two months, all kinds of moldy mushrooms will be born, and the mushrooms will give birth to all kinds of worms. Then I won't be able to sleep well and will often be bitten at night. Jingshu would rather be misunderstood by the shopping guide as having a special fetish and buy a few boxes of medicated oil just in case.
Look, as Jingshu was talking, two red nematodes fell on her head.
Jingshu dodged quickly and put on a closed raincoat.
The aunt blamed herself: "Look at me, I forgot to clean up the red nematodes on it. Jingshu, just put on your raincoat and bear with it." Wang Fang was still thinking of raising more and then accumulating them to exchange for virtual currency.
My aunt's eldest brother Wang Gang laughed heartily: "Jingshu is just timid. She should bring an oilcloth with her when she eats, otherwise all the bugs will fall on her."
See, she received everyone's care and attention with just a simple action.
"Oh." Although Aunt Wang Fang thought that they were just a few bugs, and she would occasionally eat bug eggs and mushrooms, she felt relieved when she thought about how precious Jingshu's family was now and that there was not even a red nematode at home. After all, they had money and food. Looking at the food she brought this year, she was speechless.
Wang Cancan sat quietly to the side. Last year, she sat with Su Meimei's daughter Zhang Hanhan and watched Zhang Hanhan bully Jingshu. But what about this year? Zhang Hanhan heard that she was living a very miserable life, while Jingshu was living an increasingly refined life.
There were ten dishes and one soup, which was very rich. The soup was made from the chicken that Wang Gang got. He used a quarter of it to stew the soup and the remaining quarter to make fried chicken pieces. The remaining nine dishes were brought from Jingshu's family.
At the dinner table this year, my aunt didn't praise Wang Cancan for being a civil servant at the age of 26, but started to praise Jingshu in various ways, which made Jing's mother very happy. Even though her sister-in-law was not good in this or that, she just loved to tell the truth.
After the meal, Wang Gang talked about the origin of this half chicken. It was one of the chickens that were killed in advance last year and distributed to them during the New Year. He also talked about how much supplies were stored in the big warehouse in Wucheng, and how much of it was used during the New Year.
"Uncle, I have a large amount of feed that I'd like to store in the government warehouse. Do you have any connections?"
