Chapter 34 A sudden accident
Pu Zhi originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that this vegetable was a rare delicacy in the eyes of outsiders, and if he refused, others would inevitably become suspicious.
He simply accepted it and pretended to take out a piece of frozen pork from the room as a return gift, just one pound.
People in the building knew that her house had electricity, so Zhang Xiaobai did not doubt the frozen pork, but was very grateful instead.
He and his grandmother haven't eaten meat for nearly half a year. Due to malnutrition, her health is getting worse and worse.
After expressing his gratitude repeatedly, Zhang Xiaobai took the pork and went back home first, and then came out to continue delivering Shanghai greens to Huang Dashan on the eighth floor.
He had already sent it to Brother Guo, and there was only one, just like Huang Dashan. Puzhi helped everyone a lot, so there was an extra one.
Huang Dashan was very happy to receive the rare vegetables. After repeatedly asking how they were grown, he decided to do it himself today.
But he forgot that he had no seeds at all.
The plants that are alive outside are all tenacious. The delicate vegetables have all died long ago.
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Next time you want to eat some, you can buy one crystal core each. My grandma and I take more than a month to grow one, so it's definitely worth it."
Huang Dashan smiled bitterly. It seemed that even in the end times, he couldn't escape working hard.
When Zhang Xiaobai returned to 303, his grandmother was already refining lard. Next to the balcony were three palm-sized bok choy trees.
There is no electricity at home, so the pork cannot be frozen and has to be eaten as soon as possible.
Grandma Zhang swallowed her saliva while frying. She picked up a piece of pork slice that still had a lot of fat on it, blew on it, and fed it to Zhang Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, try it quickly."
Zhang Xiaobai opened his mouth and put the piece of meat in his mouth. This was the most delicious meat he had ever eaten.
When she heard her grandson say it was delicious, Grandma Zhang's eyes smiled happily into slits, and there seemed to be another wrinkle at the corner of her eyes. She didn't know when her hair had become more white than black.
"Grandma, you eat too. I'll go pick some vegetables. We'll have a good meal today." Zhang Xiaobai lowered his eyes to hold back the tears that were about to fall.
Grandma Zhang said yes with a smile, then she remembered something and said, "We don't have much firewood at home. Let's go find some this afternoon."
He originally disagreed, but his grandmother said she couldn't stay idle at home and wanted to go out for a walk.
In order to protect his grandmother, he had never let her go out since the end of the world. Thinking of this, he felt even more guilty.
But who knew that this departure would become forever...
If he had known this would happen, he would never have taken his grandmother out with him even if he was beaten to death!
At eight o'clock in the evening, Pu Zhi was on the rooftop, waiting to see if the cheetah would appear today.
After waiting for five minutes, it still didn't come out, and Pu Zhi was about to leave.
Xiao Ren suddenly jumped up, lay on the wall of the rooftop, and looked at the ground.
Pu Zhi stood slowly beside it and looked down.
The distance to the fifteenth floor was too far, and Pu Zhi couldn't see clearly, so he took out a night vision telescope from the space and looked over.
Is this Zhang Xiaobai? How did he get so injured?
The person he was holding was... was it... Grandma Zhang?
How could this happen? Pu Zhi was feeling a little down at this moment. After being together for so long, there was always some affection between them. Although Grandma Zhang was sometimes soft-hearted, she was still a good person.
Watching Zhang Xiaobai enter the building, Pu Zhi put away the telescope and went downstairs with Xiao Ren.
However, she did not go directly to the third floor, but stopped on the fourth floor.
Boom boom boom.
Zhang Xiaobai knocked on the door of Room 301.
When Guo Shi opened the door, the first person he saw was Zhang Xiaobai, who was covered in wounds. The next second, he saw Grandma Zhang, whose face was pale and obviously not breathing, and he was stunned.
I was about to ask what was going on, but the words got stuck in my throat and I couldn't say anything.
"Brother Guo, can...can I borrow your shovel...I...I want to give it to my grandma." Before he could finish his words, Zhang Xiaobai was already sobbing, his voice hoarse as if he had been crying for three days and three nights.
Just these few words seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He collapsed to the ground, exhausted, holding Grandma Zhang's body.
Guo Shi hurriedly tried to help Zhang Xiaobai up, but he couldn't. Unconsciously, his eyes were already red, and he forced himself to suppress the sadness and not let the tears flow.
Lin Qingqing heard the sound outside and walked over quickly to see what was going on. When he saw the scene on the ground, he immediately understood what had happened.
She covered her mouth at a loss, her nose felt sore, and tears flowed down her face.
The old lady was happily asking Xiaobai to bring her food in the morning, how could she become like this in just one afternoon?
He always thinks about his neighbors when he has problems. He's such a good person, so why...
Looking at the two people crying like crazy, Guo Shi couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.
In the end, he suppressed his sadness, picked up Grandma Zhang, and said to Lin gently, "Go get the shovel at home. Since Grandma Zhang is gone, we, as the younger generation, must bury her in peace."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaobai, who was lying on the ground in a daze and crying, came to his senses. He got up in a panic and snatched Grandma Zhang's body from Guo Shi.
When he was going downstairs, his eyes were blurred by tears and he almost fell down the stairs several times. It was only because Guo Shi protected him that he did not fall.
In the neighborhood, he walked to a peach tree and muttered absentmindedly, "Grandma loves to eat peaches, so here they are."
He gently put his grandmother down, took the shovel and started digging the soil. He didn't allow anyone to help him because he wanted to bury his grandmother himself.
"My parents divorced when I was young. No one wanted me and they never gave me any child support. It was my grandmother who worked day and night growing vegetables and doing odd jobs to raise me.
She worked hard all her life and originally received some money from the demolition of her rural hometown, but my father took away half of it. With the remaining money and the tens of thousands of yuan she had saved over the years, she bought the down payment for this house.
Because she thought that since I was in high school, it would be much more convenient for me to go to and from school, she went to the restaurant to wash dishes during the day, and she was reluctant to eat or wear clothes herself. After a hard day's work, she would come back and make delicious food for me.
She hasn't bought me a good piece of clothing in five years, and sometimes she even digs it out of the trash, but she buys me a set of clothes every quarter.
I used my saved pocket money to buy her clothes and shoes. She said she disliked them, but she loved them very much in her heart.
I was supposed to take the college entrance examination this summer. I have been studying hard for my grandma. If nothing goes wrong, I will be able to get into a 211 university. If I am lucky, I may even get into a 985 university.
By then, I will be working part-time while studying at university, and the money I save can be used to help my grandmother with household expenses.
But why did God create zombies? Why...
It’s obvious that grandma will soon be able to enjoy a peaceful and happy life, it’s only a year away…”
The more Zhang Xiaobai spoke, the more his body shook, and he could hardly hold the shovel.
Guo Shi hugged the sad Lin Qingqing, and felt very upset when he saw the scene in front of him.
If God has eyes, how could he bear to let good people suffer so much?
