Chapter 5 The Hu Family of Three

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jianan was still immersed in the nervousness and excitement during the call. In the past, he would have found it hard to believe that he would be excited to talk to a man.

It was strange. They had never met before, and the plot in the novel had not yet happened. They were still strangers in different parts of the world.

But he always felt as if he had known Duan Haiping for a long time, so long that he could guess how the other party would react at this time. He

must be thinking coldly about how his size was leaked.

Liu Jianan rarely showed a sincere smile, but the smile was fleeting. He still had a lot of things to do. Indulging in his own little thoughts could not help him survive the cruel end of the world.

The second call was to his childhood friend Hu Jianye.

He didn't have many friends. As a child, he was abused by his adoptive parents, so his clothes were always stained with dirt that couldn't be wiped off, and he smelled particularly bad. The

only person who was willing to be his friend was Hu Jianye.

The tiny Hu Jianye brought Liu Jianan, who was still a little kid at the time, home and proudly introduced her to his parents as his friend.

That was one of the few warm moments in his childhood.

Hu Jianye's father, Hu Deyi, was a butcher in the village, and his mother, Zhang Wenqian, often helped people sew clothes to earn money for the family.

In the poor countryside, Hu Jianye's family was relatively well off.

Every time Hu Jianye brought him home, Zhang Wenqian would cook hot meals for him, then hold his little hands and carefully wash the dirt from his fingernails.

The pieces of pork belly in the bowl, with fat and lean parts, are the unspoken tenderness of the taciturn father Hu.

There is no mention of the three of them in the novel. Liu Jianan doesn't know whether they died at the beginning of the apocalypse, or survived but never met the protagonists.

Since he has the book of superpowers and knows that the apocalypse is coming, it is impossible for the three of them to disappear. As soon as

the phone was connected, he said in an imperative tone: "Old Hu, tell uncle and aunt to take all their belongings and gather at Longcheng Airport."

Hu Jianye's voice soon came: "An An, what happened to you? Are you kidding me?"

Liu Jianan: "I'm not in the mood to joke with you. Are uncle and aunt around? I'll tell them."

When negotiating with the Hu family, you can't tell them directly about the apocalypse.

Because even if they knew about the end of the world in advance, the assets of the Hu family were not enough to change anything. At most, they could prepare some food and water.

Hu Jianye gave the phone to his father. Hu Deyi should be cutting pork at this moment. The sound of the blade and the chopping board colliding reached Liu Jianan's ears.

"Anzi, if you have anything to say, uncle is listening." The voice was rough.

Liu Jianan did not intend to tell the truth: "Uncle, you also know that I have returned to the Gu family. The Gu family knows that you take care of me, so they specially found a buyer for you. The price has been negotiated. A pig of 100 kilograms is 20,000 yuan, and it will increase by 200 for every additional kilogram."

Hu Deyi was so shocked that he couldn't hold the knife: "Anzi, where did your family find such a sucker?"

"Don't worry about it. The acquirer has plenty of money. He just wants high-quality pork." Liu Jianan continued to fool around, "We just have to go to Yuncheng, meet with the other party and sign a contract."

Hu Deyi said readily, "Then I'll go!"

Liu Jianan coaxed him, "Uncle, it's a rare trip out of town, why don't you let Jianye go with aunt?"

Hu Deyi was silent for a while, as if asking for his son and wife's opinions.

Soon, Hu Deyi laughed out loud: "Then let's go together!"

Liu Jianan estimated the approximate time: "My family said that many pork merchants want to cooperate with that buyer, so we have to leave for Yuncheng immediately. It will take you about two hours to get here by car from the village. Let's take a taxi to the airport and try to catch the twelve o'clock flight."

"So urgent?" Hu Deyi was a little anxious when he heard it, "There is no time to prepare anything."

Liu Jianan: "No need to prepare anything, just bring your ID, bank card and important items."

It has to be said that the Hu family is really the most simple people Liu Jianan has ever met. Even if his words are full of loopholes, the Hu family believes it without a doubt.

And said: "Don't worry, Anzi, I'll be leaving soon!"

After the call, Liu Jianan returned to the mobile phone store and asked the saleswoman for advice on how to register WeChat, buy air tickets, and a series of other matters.

The first friend on WeChat was this patient saleswoman.

After he took a taxi to the airport, he transferred 10,000 yuan to the saleswoman and told her to prepare more food and water at home in the next few days.

Treating kind people should be returned with kindness.

He added Hu Jianye's WeChat and asked for the ID photos of the family of three.

After sending the airport location, Hu Jianye remembered to call him via video: "I told you it couldn't be a scam call, but my dad didn't believe it and insisted that I video chat with you."

Hu Deyi blew his beard and glared: "You little bastard, it's obviously you who didn't believe it, why are you biting me back?"

"Okay, okay, both of you stop arguing. An'an, wait for us at the airport for a while, we have packed our things and will leave soon." Zhang Wenqian smiled and tried to smooth things over.

The screen of the mobile phone is not big, it is square, and can only accommodate the family of three opposite.

But the warmth that almost overflowed the screen is something that Liu Jianan can never reach.

Envy, and desire.

After he knew the consequences of longing for family affection, envy was all that remained.

However, things are unpredictable.

In the novel, he is open-hearted to his relatives, but they abandon him like a worn-out shoe, and they take away his heart and lungs.

Now he has already retreated, but someone is still chasing after him.

"Xiao An, you are really here!" This is the voice of Mrs. Gu Jiang Shulan.

Following closely, Gu Letian righteously rebuked: "Brother Jianan, how could you leave without saying goodbye? Do you know how worried mom is about you? In order to find you, she didn't even have breakfast, and she almost fainted just now! Even if you hate me, you can't make mom worry!"
