"Big brother's here! Have you eaten? Would you like some more?"
Song Qiu'e quickly got up and took another pair of bowls and chopsticks, placing them on the table: "Yes, brother, since you're already here, please have some more!"
"Uncle!"
Xu Lai obediently called out to the person who came.
Xu Jiangming was an elder, and being a straightforward person, he had always been at odds with his nephew, who was not related to him by blood and had a bad character.
So when Xu Zhen came in, he didn't even look up and continued eating his meal.
Xu Zhen looked up and glanced around at the people in the room, noticing that the family's faces didn't show any unusual reactions.
His feigned composure finally eased considerably.
It seems the second son's family didn't notice anything unusual about the car, otherwise they wouldn't be so calmly having dinner at home.
"You guys eat, you guys eat, I've already eaten!"
Xu Zhen quickly waved his hand and declined the enthusiastic invitation from Xu Haiguo and his wife.
On her first day back after being reborn, Xu Lai encountered the very enemy who had personally chopped her and her brother into pieces with a knife in her previous life. She felt an urge to shove her chopsticks directly into his head.
However, social order is still normal now, and murder is punishable by death.
That's such a bad deal!
She tried to compose herself, then looked up and smiled at her former enemy.
"Uncle, do you need to see my parents?"
Looking at his niece who was smiling brightly at him, Xu Zhen pretended to be concerned and replied, "Uncle is fine. I just saw your dad hurriedly drive your family's car to your front door. I thought your family was going back to the city today!"
Is this someone trying to find out when their family will drive this problematic car on the road?
After putting down the bowl and chopsticks she had picked up, Song Qiu'e hurriedly answered, "We originally planned to leave today, but my second uncle suddenly changed his mind and agreed to come with us to our house in the city. So this afternoon we were busy packing our things and putting them in the trunk of the car. The five of us will leave first thing tomorrow morning!"
When Song Qiu'e explained, she emphasized the phrase "a family of five" in her speech.
Sure enough, when Xu Zhen heard the family say that they would be taking the car that his son had tampered with back to the city the next day, he felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
This is truly fantastic news!
They originally planned to wait until the second son and his family of four died, and then find another opportunity to kill that old bastard Xu Jiangming.
Unexpectedly, this family of five chose to go to see the King of Hell together.
If this whole family dies tomorrow, their big house in the city and millions in savings will all go to his older brother.
Once he's rich, he can live a life of luxury, and then nobody will look down on him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.
"No, I can't let this slip out. I have to hurry back and tell the rest of my family the good news!"
After pretending to be calm, Xu Zhen said goodbye to his brother's family, then immediately turned around and quickly left.
"What a family of beasts!"
After Xu Zhen left, Xu Jiangming slammed his chopsticks on the table with a "bang," his wrinkled face so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.
The siblings Xu Lai and Xu Chao were afraid that their second uncle would get too angry, so they quickly stood up, went to his side, and held his hand to comfort him for a while.
After dinner, the family took a shower and went to bed early.
Before going to sleep, Xu Lai tried to see if she could enter the space at night.
The result was a failure.
It seems that in the future, on apocalyptic nights, relying on hiding in a spatial dimension to escape danger will no longer be feasible.
In terms of security, we need to stockpile more useful and reliable "weapons".
She picked up her phone and started searching, recalling the "weapons" others had used in her previous life.
I fell asleep while thinking about it.
The next morning, the family of five deliberately made a big commotion at the gate, then got into their car in a high-profile manner and set off for the city.
After driving for ten minutes, Xu Haiguo parked the car on a flat grassy area.
After parking the car, he took out his phone and made a call.
Half an hour later, a large trailer truck drove towards them.
After spending an hour replacing the brake pads at a car repair shop in the county town, the family got back into their car, which was now working perfectly, and quickly headed towards the city.
After resting for most of the night, the whole family got up early the next morning and began their big shopping spree in preparation for the apocalypse.
On the first day of shopping, we bought food.
They drove to the market, compared prices, and chose a grain and oil wholesaler.
One hundred bags of rice, each weighing fifty jin (25 kg).
One hundred bags of wheat flour, each weighing twenty jin (approximately 10 kg).
Although Xu Haiguo and Song Qiu'e wanted to buy more grain, the space lacked a preservation function.
These vacuum-packed rice and flour products generally have a shelf life of twelve to eighteen months.
The rice and flour they bought should last their family of five for about three years.
"Let's stock up on some more rice and wheat. If these unhulled grains are stored properly, they can last much longer!"
Xu Jiangming, who used to be an expert at farming, offered his advice.
Xu Haiguo and Song Qiu'e naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
We bought an extra 2,000 jin each of rice and wheat.
We also ordered 150 barrels of cooking oil, both large and small.
The shelf life of cooking oil is about two years, but Xu Lai's family stockpiled enough for almost three years.
Anyway, even if these cooking oils are expired, they can still be eaten normally as long as they haven't spoiled.
