Chapter 510 A Group of People Came
Although she said so, Jingshu also knew that it was definitely not the person Lao Shizi was going to pick up.
After all, I have to pick up my eldest aunt's family, and then take another road to pick up my second aunt's family. The journey is not short, and some places require detours. It is a conservative estimate that this driving trip will waste a day and a half.
Not to mention how the families without transportation would get here? Walking? How long would it take to walk hundreds of kilometers in this freezing weather?
Jingshu shook her head, munching on her homemade popcorn, and said, "I really need to add more cocoa powder."
As Jingshu opened the door, a foul odor hit her nose, and then what came into her sight was a group of people wearing tattered cotton-padded clothes that were randomly pieced together. They looked a little familiar, but she didn't know them.
Several beams of light from mobile phones shone over in the dim sky.
A piece of popcorn fell from the petrified Jingshu's mouth to the ground and was immediately picked up by someone.
People were whispering to each other in the crowd.
"Are you sure? Is this really my in-laws' house? It's so grand and they live in a villa." An old lady in a mixed-gear outfit looked greedily at the magnificent house through the light of her cell phone's flashlight.
"It should be correct. I heard from my wife that my mother-in-law is living a good life."
Jingshu frowned and turned her gaze to the security guard of the community who was holding a flashlight. It seemed that the security guard had led the people here. Otherwise, the Banana Community had very strict management. After all, there were many people outside who wanted to sneak into the Banana Community.
Seeing that the owner of the villa area looked unhappy, the guard immediately started to drive people away:
"Let's go, let's go! I told you, these people don't look like they have relatives living in the villa area. They all look so poor..."
A skinny young man and a middle-aged man in overweight clothes squeezed out of the crowd.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Sister Jingshu, it's me, it's me, Li Yun! Where's grandma? Grandma, grandpa, I'm Li Yun! Let us in quickly!" Li Yun shouted weakly to the villa.
"It's me! I'm your second uncle." After saying this, the second uncle looked at Jingshu in surprise, forgetting even to finish his words. He hadn't seen Jingshu in a few years. He hadn't expected his niece to grow more and more beautiful. Not only was she dressed neatly in this apocalyptic world, holding snacks in her hands, she looked like she was living a life of luxury. How much food did this family have? It was a pity that they could only survive on expansive soil and insects!
Yes, I heard Jing Zhao say a long time ago that her brother's conditions have become better after the end of the world. It must be that those two old men gave all their property to this precious son.
The other side.
Is this Li Yun? Second Aunt's son? Is this Second Uncle's husband, Li Zhuang? This is so different from what I remember. No wonder I didn't recognize him at first glance.
Jingshu looked more carefully and finally understood.
It's just that he was so thin that she almost didn't recognize him. She had sworn that she would recognize Li Yun, who had often ridiculed and teased her, even if he turned into ashes. He was just a little thinner and she couldn't recognize him.
Tsk tsk, so you can’t make a vow like turning into ashes casually.
Pointing to the seven or eight people following behind her, Jingshu said, "Who are these people? Why are they here? Where is Second Aunt? She didn't come?" Then what are you doing here?
Seeing that this was really Li Yun's grandmother's home, the expressions of the group of people changed when they looked at the villa again, as if... they saw their own things.
Seeing that his second uncle was still immersed in shock, Li Yun had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
"This is my grandma and grandpa, this is my uncle's family, this is my aunt's family, we are all here..."
At this time, Li Yunnai rushed up and said:
"Oh, look at this pretty girl. Is she Jing Zhao's niece? Look how reserved she is... We were invited by your second aunt Jing Zhao to celebrate the New Year. Aren't we all family? Of course we should celebrate the New Year together. Otherwise, why would we come all the way here?
It's been a long journey...but it's worth it no matter how hard it is. We are here to have a good chat with our in-laws...Quick, let us go in and have some hot meals. We are so tired after walking all the way. Dazhuang, come on, we are back to our mother-in-law's house. Don't you recognize us?
Do you know me? Why are you still standing there? "
As he said this, he was about to take his whole family to squeeze into the villa.
The second uncle came back to his senses and smiled, "Yes, my mother-in-law's family is just like my own home, so don't be so shy. Let's go inside and have some food. You may not know this, but before we came here, my mother-in-law said that we would have enough rice for the New Year. Wow, do you know how amazing it is to be able to eat rice at this time? My mother-in-law's family is really amazing, and I didn't marry her in vain."
Jing Shu calmly closed the door of the villa, glanced at the group of people with a smile, and said calmly:
"Wait a minute, let's be clear. Li Yun, Second Uncle, I remember making it very clear at the time that we only invited Second Aunt and her family of three. Second Aunt didn't come, but you brought so many people with you, your whole family. What are you doing here?" Free food, free drinks, free accommodation? The people who should have come didn't show up.
Li Yundong was shivering, and the sound of a child crying could be heard from the crowd. The second uncle rubbed his hands and said:
"No, Jingshu, you let us in to warm ourselves by the fire first, and then serve us some food. Is that how you treat guests? The kid is crying and suffering. Let's go in and talk about it first. Besides, your second aunt and your eldest aunt's family are following behind us and will be here soon. If you have anything, just ask them and they will explain it to you."
Jingshu moved a chair to block the gate and ate popcorn bite by bite. The children in the crowd cried even louder, and the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard from time to time. The security guard stood next to Jingshu tactfully, with the walkie-talkie in his hand flashing yellow light, ready to call for help if anything went wrong.
"Oh, then there's no need to rush. Let's wait until the second aunt and the eldest aunt come."
The second uncle's face turned ugly. "Nonsense, what's there to explain? We are all family, and in this end times, we must stick together. Didn't we say you would come to pick us up? But to save you gas, we walked for three or four days before we got here. After finally arriving, you're blocking the door and not letting your uncle in? What's the matter with you blocking the door?"
Forget it, let Li Yun go in and warm up first, can you bear to see your brother covered in sores..."
How cruel!
Jingshu's heart was not disturbed at all, and she even had the leisure to collect a batch of potatoes in the space.
Jingshu's behavior of not even raising her eyelids made her second uncle frown, but he couldn't possibly go up and hit anyone.
"Da Zhuang, why don't you call your in-laws out and say anything to a kid? We have something important to discuss with them." Li Yunnai tugged at her second uncle.
"That's right, this house is not hers, and she is not the one who makes the decision. Why are we talking nonsense with her? Who would block the door and not let us in? She has no manners at all." The sister-in-law muttered.
