Chapter 34
Gu Jiashu just lived in the Shen family.
On the first day, because he had suffered so much outside and had walked such a long distance with his injured leg, he lay down on Mr. Gu's bed and fell asleep.
He slept soundly and couldn't be woken up no matter how hard we called him. He didn't even have dinner.
The whole family felt uncomfortable watching this.
Because there were no extra beds at home, Chen Cong and Gu Kai originally discussed getting him a mattress to make do with, and then find a chance to get him a bed later.
Seeing his pitiful look, Chen Xi took the initiative to offer Tongtong's current single bed to him first, and the three of them could sleep in one bed for a few days.
Cheng Ru felt very distressed when she saw this, and the way she expressed her concern was to take great pains to make delicious food for the younger generation.
But even if the Shen family felt bad for Jiashu, they still had to know their limits.
For example, for the meal he prepared when he came, Cheng Ru used a small pot to cook noodles and fried eggs for him, and also specially made beef stew.
All that is available are vacuum packed canned and dehydrated vegetables.
The fresh fruits, vegetables and meat in the space were not taken out.
Before they have established complete trust, they cannot expose their secrets so recklessly.
Gu Jiashu also accepted the fact that the Shen family ate well.
After all, before the earthquake, his uncle and sister-in-law called him several times, wanting them to move in together to avoid the earthquake.
Later, after making sure that they didn't want to come, his sister-in-law, who was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's business, repeatedly told them on the phone to stock up more food and water, and prepare canned and vacuum-packed foods.
His brother later sent him an electronic version that listed the supplies that needed to be stockpiled before the earthquake and required him to buy everything according to the list.
He was also asked to send photos after purchasing, saying that he needed to check.
Gu Jiashu's father died early, and he and his mother have been taken care of by his uncle's family for many years.
He had long been accustomed to listening to his uncle and cousin in both big and small matters.
So he has a lot of stockpiled goods at home. If the house hadn't fallen into the cracks, I think he and his mother wouldn't be having a bad life at this stage.
So Gu Jiashu didn't find it strange that the Shen family stocked up a lot of food and ate well.
He just regretted that he didn't listen at the beginning.
He had lived for more than twenty years and had always been an obedient person. He just acted on his own this time, but...
Thinking of this, Gu Jiashu felt a tearing pain in his heart.
There was actually a reason why he didn't come.
If my uncle and cousin lived in their own house, they would definitely move out if asked to do so without saying a word.
But his uncle and cousin are now living in his cousin's wife's family's home.
They are relatives and it's fine for them to live together, but what would it be like if he and his mother went over to live with them?
This relative is too crooked.
When he first said it, his mother and girlfriend had the same idea, and they both felt that it was a bit inappropriate for him to live there like that.
Besides, the community is well arranged and living in the city is not necessarily unsafe.
At this moment, Gu Jiashu only regretted that he had not been thicker-skinned and had not been tougher in his attitude.
He should force his mother and girlfriend to move in with him, even if it's just for a few days!
After all, he participated in the construction of both sides of the house, and he knew better than anyone how solid the house was.
The more Gu Jiashu thought about it, the sadder he felt. He couldn't help but bury his head in the pillow again and shed tears silently.
"Get up! You're already a grown-up, why are you always lying down? Get up and eat!"
He didn't get to stay in bed for too long, as he was pulled out of bed by his uncle Gu Zhengchu at dawn the next day.
Gu Jiashu rubbed his face and got off the bed.
Then he said, "Uncle, I will stay for two days and then go back."
Gu Zhengchu glanced at him and didn't say anything. He just said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk after dinner."
After dinner, before Gu Jiashu had time to tell the Shen family his thoughts, someone came to his door.
The people who came were Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin.
Now is the busiest time for the community. The construction sites outside are working in full swing even at night.
Including Shen Jianyi and Gu Kai, they all had to go out to help after breakfast, so when they suddenly came over, everyone found it strange.
"Uncle Chen, we came here so early. Didn't we disturb you?" Shi Lei was the first to speak after knocking on the door, his tone very polite.
"Why are you bothering me? I'm already getting ready to go to work. Why are you two here now? What happened?"
Shen Jianyi asked as he led the two people into the yard.
"No, nothing happened. We just knew that your relatives were coming from the city, so Lao Cao and I thought we had to come and take a look.
See if there are any difficulties at home? Can you lend a hand? I also want to know the current situation in the city."
Hearing him say this, Shen Jianyi nodded.
Then he took the initiative to explain: "He is your uncle Gu's nephew. It was too chaotic before and he couldn't come over. Now that the city is a little better, he came to see us.
He had a leg injury and had walked such a long way, so he went to sleep as soon as he arrived yesterday. We didn't ask him anything.
It's a good opportunity for you to come, so let's listen to what he has to say."
After saying that, he took the two of them into the house.
This was Cao Hongmin's first time back to the Shen family. Although Shi Lei had been here twice before, he only entered the yard and not the house.
Both of them couldn't help but greet Shen Jianyi while looking around the yard calmly.
There is no one in the entire community who is not curious about the Shen family.
Everyone felt that their family was extremely lucky as they were able to renovate the house just before the earthquake.
Even with such a strong earthquake, the courtyard wall didn’t collapse!
This house must be built very solidly, God please help them!
But when they really entered the yard, and it was daytime and they could see the situation inside clearly, the two men felt that what people said was a bit exaggerated.
Apart from anything else, what happened to the steel building in the backyard?
It's totally unusable!
The broken walls and roofs scattered all over the ground...
It seems that the materials used were of good quality and it was newly built.
Now it's completely scrapped.
Just for this, hundreds of thousands of dollars must have been spent, right?
Shi Lei is an architectural designer. He felt so distressed when he saw it.
I feel so miserable!
This feeling became even stronger when I entered the living room.
The sofa showed obvious signs of having been repaired, and the wall where the TV was hung was now bare, so the TV must be scrapped.
The upper half of the antique display shelf nailed to the wall was gone, and the lower half was used as a place to store miscellaneous items. It was now filled with stainless steel bowls, plastic bottles and other things used by children.
In the middle of the room there was a pile of broken stones that had been picked up and neatly arranged. On top of them was a table without legs, which seemed to be used as a dining table.
This is completely different from the rich man living in a villa that everyone imagines.
Seeing this scene, both of them couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
I feel that everyone is equal in the face of natural disasters.
After knowing the purpose of their visit, Jiashu told everyone about the situation in the city.
All the people from the Shen family also sat down and listened together.
Because he had just arrived yesterday and was also there to report a death, Jiashu actually didn’t say much about what was happening outside.
Listening to his description now, our hearts feel as if someone is grabbing and twisting them hard, causing both pain and cramping.
Even Chen Cong felt uncomfortable listening to it.
After he finished his description, everyone was speechless, and the hope that the two had before they came was almost completely extinguished.
Knowing that Shen's relatives were coming from the city, Shi Lei and the others really had hope.
I think it must be because the city is stable now and the roads are easier to travel on. Otherwise, who would come to the countryside at this time?
But who would have thought that the situation in the city is even worse than that in the countryside!
Thinking of this, Cao Hongmin glanced at Shi Lei secretly, but could not see any expression on his face.
This made him feel annoyed.
But he is responsible for the affairs within the community, so he cannot help but ask about this matter.
So he smiled, and then asked in a very friendly tone: "Xiao Gu, are you going to stay at your uncle's house this time, or are you just here to take a look and leave?"
Seeing the Shen family members raise their eyelids at the same time, he waved his hands and explained: "Don't think too much, don't think too much, I'm just asking, I don't mean anything else. You also know that guests in our community always have to register."
Shen Jianyi sneered.
In a half-casual tone, he said: "I have lived here for several years, how come I never knew that our property management was so diligent and conscientious?
Before the incident, I never saw a relative coming to someone's house, and you came to ask when they left. What's wrong? Are you worried that our Shen family can't afford to support the relative and cause trouble to the community?
Don't worry, we will not ask for less of the supplies you deserve, nor will we ask for more of the supplies you don't deserve.
There are so many people in my family. If anyone saves a bite, it will be enough for my nephew to eat. I will definitely not take advantage of the community!"
After hearing what he said, Gu Jiashu was the first one who couldn't sit still. He was about to speak immediately, but was held down firmly by Chen Cong.
Cao Hongmin blushed immediately.
He used to work in property management, and he knew that Shen Jianyi was telling the truth. For a moment, he didn't know how to save the situation.
Shi Lei quickly explained: "Uncle Shen, Auntie, Uncle Gu, don't be angry, we really didn't mean that."
At this point he sighed: "Don't overthink it. Lao Cao and I don't really want to ask this question. It would make us seem too mean and unkind.
But isn’t there no other way?
We are not afraid of being embarrassed when we say it out loud. We came here on the one hand to ask about the situation outside, and on the other hand we really want to know what Xiao Gu’s next plan is.
Our community now relies on government relief for its supplies. The relief food is distributed based on the number of people. The town sent people to do the statistics, and everyone knows this.
If you want to be a permanent resident in your home, you still have to register in the town first..."
"Without rules, there will be no order. You did nothing wrong. I don't mean to argue with you, but you came to visit my nephew right after he arrived, as if you wanted to do something to our family. Anyone would feel uncomfortable hearing that."
Shen Jianyi interrupted him and spoke bluntly.
The two of them nodded quickly and apologized repeatedly.
"Don't worry. Our family has many people and a lot of labor. We can definitely solve the problem of food. We won't eat too much or take up too much." Shen Jianyi added again.
After hearing what he said, Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin really couldn't sit there any longer. They stood up and said goodbye with embarrassment on their faces.
At this time, Gu Jiashu spoke.
He said, "Two leaders, you are leaders, right? Please don't leave yet, listen to me."
Shi Lei and the other man stopped at the same time.
Jiashu smiled at them and explained, "I came here just to check on the situation at home. Such a big thing happened, and my family members are all here. I was worried about me being alone in the city.
Now that I've seen them, I know they're good in every way, so I feel at ease.
I won't live here permanently. After a few days of rest and healing my legs, I'll go back to the city, so there's no need to report to the town.
Please, leaders, if anyone in the community asks, please let everyone know that I will not be staying here for long, and I will not take up our community's food rations, so that everyone will not think too much."
Hearing him make such a promise, Shen Jianyi's face suddenly changed and he immediately turned around, looking like he wanted to have a good talk with him.
Gu Jiashu also quickly stood up, walked over and held his arm, and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be angry, I know you are doing this for my own good, please listen to my reasons first."
Maybe these days are too hard, or maybe the closest person has passed away -
Shen Jianyi's little bit of kindness as an elder made Jiashu inexplicably well up in tears.
He lowered his head and calmed down for a while before speaking again.
"The city is in a mess, but it's not unlivable. On the contrary, there are many opportunities now. Everywhere needs to be rebuilt. Not to mention the private sector, the government has also been recruiting workers. Road construction, bridge construction, and garbage removal all require people.
Therefore, if you want to survive in the city, there will be no problem as long as you are willing to put in a little effort.
I have been helping out at the first aid station for the past few days.
At that time, my legs had not recovered yet, and I could not do heavy work, but I could still do jobs like washing gauze and cleaning. Even with such a small amount of work, it was enough for me to have enough food every day.
I have made up my mind. When my legs recover, I will sign up to work on the road construction. I heard that the benefits of road construction are quite good. Not only do they provide three meals a day, but they also give GPA points. It is said that in the future, you can rent government-built resettlement housing first based on your GPA points. "
Hearing him say this, Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin's eyes lit up again.
The two of them left without saying anything and sat down again. Shi Lei urged: "Can you tell me in detail?"
Gu Jiashu then told them in detail about the new policies recently introduced by the government.
Although it can be heard that it is only temporary, it is able to calm people's hearts.
Bac Ninh is now calling on everyone to work together to save their homeland.
Except for some special cases, such as the disabled, the elderly, the young, and those who have lost their ability to work, they can go to a special location to collect food per person every day. Everyone else has to rely on labor to earn their food.
In the beginning, the government used currency for settlement and distributed money on a daily basis. But after less than two days, people stopped asking for money.
Because the currency depreciated so quickly, people couldn't buy anything even if they had money, so later on, they used grain as payment when hiring workers.
In addition, a performance point system was adopted. Everyone who goes to work will be given a small notebook, and the amount of work done and the number of performance points will be recorded in the notebook every day.
The government has promised that in the future, GPA will be used as a priority for renting a house or buying things.
As Gu Jiashu spoke, he took out a small booklet about the size of a driver's license from his bag and showed it to everyone.
"It is said that this kind of notebook is only temporary. When the electricity and network are restored in the future, it will be made into an electronic version with real name. Then we won't have to worry about losing it."
This was simply the best news everyone had heard recently, and Shi Lei and the others were extremely delighted.
Gu Jiashu looked at them and suggested, "I see that people in the community are building houses recently, so let's not say anything. When the houses are built, you can actually go out for a walk. There are still opportunities outside. After all, it's better to earn a living by working than to stay at home and wait for relief, right? Maybe this relief won't last long."
Both of them nodded in agreement.
After seeing the two off, Shen Jianyi and Gu Kai did not rush out to work. The family sat together and talked for a while.
Shen Jianyi still had the same intention and was determined not to let Gu Jiashu go back and let him live here peacefully from now on.
The old man’s thoughts are different from those of the young people. He is also in his sixties and can especially understand Gu Zhengchu’s psychology.
During this period of time, he watched his older brother worry about his sister and nephew every day. He couldn't sleep well and his heart was worried too.
Jiashu suffered so much in the city. He lost his home and his mother, and his child was left all alone.
He felt that his elder brother would definitely not be willing to let his nephew go back.
But as for Liu Jiashu, Brother Gu would definitely not be able to say anything, after all, this is his own house.
Then let him talk about it.
But Jiashu obviously really didn't want to stay here. His tone was nice, but his attitude was very firm.
He said, "Uncle, I know you and aunt really want to keep me here, and I'm not being polite. We are a family, and I won't beat around the bush with you and say those empty words. I have to go back."
He smiled bitterly and said, "I am 27 years old this year. An earthquake shattered my life. My family was destroyed and I have nothing left.
But since you are not dead, you have to think about how to live in the future!
I know that if I stay here, my family will treat me well and we can live a good life together.
But what can I do?
Our family has no shortage of labor, and I don't have any special skills, so I can't help the family much if I stay here."
Seeing Shen Jianyi was about to refute, he quickly continued: "Uncle, I have to be independent. Now there is an opportunity in the city, I will try my best, at least I have to make a living for myself.
I thought that while I am still young and energetic, I should work hard, and maybe within two years I will be able to establish myself again.”
No one can refute this.
Gu Jiashu is not a capable person, otherwise he would not have been able to earn enough money to make a down payment and buy a house in his twenties.
Unless you kill this kind of person with one blow, he will be able to stand up again if you give him a chance.
Shen Jianyi couldn't say anything to keep him.
Seeing that her father was silent, Chen Cong finally spoke and asked the question that had been on her mind.
"Jiashu, have you visited Fulin during the few days you were in the city? Do you know what's going on there?"
Gu Jiashu shook his head in shame.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I really didn't have time to check. I went home after leaving the emergency station, and then went to look for Tingting. I hadn't even found their bodies yet, and they started disinfecting the entire city. I rushed here as soon as the disinfection was finished."
His voice became extremely sad again.
"It's okay, I'm just asking."
Chen Cong comforted him, "Anyway, your brother and I have been discussing going back these days. We will know the situation when we return."
Gu Jiashu wiped his eyes and said, "Fulin is in Beicheng. It is said that it is the place that suffered the least damage in the whole of Beining. It is said that many houses there have been saved. You can go back and take a look. I think Fulin may be fine. The house was built only a few years ago."
After hearing them talk about returning to the city, Gu Zhengchu, who had been silent the whole time, finally said, "Don't rush back. Wait for Jiashu. Let his leg heal for a few more days. Then you can go together and someone will take care of you on the way."
The old man's words were very clear; he agreed to let Jiashu return to the city.
Since he had spoken, Chen Cong and his wife naturally agreed.
Gu Jiashu stayed at the Shen family for a week.
During this week, apart from chatting with his uncle and the two elders of the Shen family, he spent all his time in the newly built nurseries on the third and fourth floors.
Gu Jiashu lived in the countryside when he was a child. His father passed away when he was in junior high school. His uncle found a way to send him to school in the city, so he moved to the city with his mother.
So when it comes to things in the fields, he can't compare with real farm hands, but compared with Shen Jianyi, he's not much worse.
After listening to Shen Jianyi tell him about the family's next plan and knowing that they were planning to set up a small farm at home to grow vegetables, raise fish, and even possibly grow grain at home, Jiashu showed an envious look.
"That's why I told you that you don't have to leave! It's not like there's no work to do at home. Once these things are done, there will be endless work, and even our family may not be able to support us!" Shen Jianyi started another round of lobbying.
Jiashu smiled and said, "I'll come if you need help! For now, it's enough for my aunt and Sister Xiaoxi to take a look at this little work. There's no need to keep an eye on it."
At this point, he scratched his head and asked, "Uncle, do you have extra vegetable seeds here? Can you give me some? I don't want too much. If I have too much, I won't have anywhere to plant them. Just give me some pakchoy or something like that. I'll plant them in a pot and have some green leafy vegetables to eat in the future."
How could Shen Jianyi not agree? He immediately asked him to go find Shen Cong to get it.
Chen Cong had other plans.
She did not plant vegetable seeds for Gu Jiashu, but told him that everything should be decided after returning to the city.
Gu Jiashu was originally a little timid towards his cousin's wife. After hearing what she said, he didn't even dare to ask what she would do when she returned to the city.
On the day they decided to return to the city, Cheng Ru got up early in the morning and was busy in the kitchen for a long time preparing a lot of food for the three of them.
Of course, most of them are prepared for Jiashu.
There was a large bag of vacuum-packed beef, sausages, and ham prepared for him.
Gu Jiashu, who was packing the things directly, refused repeatedly, saying that he had no place to put them if he took them back, and it would be inconvenient to carry them with him as he slept in a large dormitory at night.
Cheng Ru then stopped helplessly.
The journey back to the city was actually quite smooth.
First of all, the passage to the town has been opened.
Then I guess later on, in order to make it easier to walk, people leveled the road, and all the bumpy ditches and bumps disappeared.
So although it’s not particularly flat, at least you don’t have to worry about tripping and falling when walking on it.
The road becomes easier to navigate after passing that passage.
The unfinished community has now become a temporary base for the construction team, where they accept and assign jobs.
People nearby all know that when an engineering team is needed, they will come here specifically.
In order to facilitate the transportation of goods, and because they have the equipment, the road here is much better than that on the passage.
Chen Cong felt that even a car should be able to get through.
But there is no such good road after leaving the town.
The road they walked after that was a bit similar to the one Chen Cong and his companions took when they first went out. It was obvious that everyone had not caught up yet, and they could not take care of the areas with less traffic for the time being.
This also made the couple once again truly feel the disaster brought by the earthquake.
Qingshan Town is located right in the middle of Bac Ninh and Yingshui communities.
It took the three of them more than two hours to walk from the community to Qingshan Town, but it took them most of the day to walk from Qingshan to the city.
It was dark when we entered the city.
Fortunately, the three of them had agreed on the way to go directly to Fulin after returning, so they took a slight detour and entered the city from the north.
It took them almost an hour to walk from the city to Fulin.
After walking this distance, Chen Cong believed what Jiashu had said before, that the disaster situation in North City was indeed much better than other places.
At least they can still recognize the places they have passed through.
Even if the houses have collapsed or the roads have been blocked, if you look closely you can at least see some traces of what it was like before.
Unlike other places, they had passed by the east side of Bac Ninh before and found that the highway there was blocked.
There was a big gap between the city entrance and the highway, and the entrance was squeezed up and was hanging high in the air. It looked a bit ridiculous and chilling.
The further the three walked, the more hope they felt, because this place was indeed different from other places. Not only were there no large cracks around, but they also saw several tall buildings standing on both sides along the way.
Sure enough, after walking for about twenty minutes, Gu Kai raised his voice excitedly and said, "Home is still there!"
As he spoke, he raised the emergency light in his hand high up.
Under the dim light, the three of them really saw several tall dark shadows in the distance.
Looking at the location, it is exactly in the direction of Fulin Community.
The three of them walked faster, and even the fatigue they had before seemed to have lessened a lot.
Unfortunately, when we were about to reach the community, we encountered a roadblock.
A large area of building ruins appeared in front of them.
It can be seen that the multi-story residential buildings in front of several high-rise buildings collapsed.
These multi-story residential buildings do not belong to the Fulin community, but to a unit staff housing compound in front of the community.
The houses are very old and built very closely together.
Now a large area of the wall has collapsed, completely blocking the passage to Fulin.
The three people stood in front of the ruins, at a loss as to what to do.
The main reason was that it was already dark, and the entire city was now without electricity, let alone street lights.
It was pitch black everywhere.
It is too dangerous to rely solely on an emergency light to find your way in such a completely unfamiliar and extremely bad environment.
No matter how anxious the three people were, they had to find a place nearby to stay for the night and find a way to go home after daybreak.
Fortunately, we were mentally prepared for the possibility of three of us spending the night outdoors.
With Jiashu there, it was difficult for Chencong to take things out of the space, so they prepared sleeping bags and moisture-proof mats in advance.
All these were carried on Gu Kai's back.
The three of them found a relatively flat place, spread out the moisture-proof mat and sat down.
After taking out some food and eating a little, the three of them immediately fell asleep exhausted without saying a word.
Because everyone knows that there are many things waiting for us tomorrow, and no one wants to waste energy on other things.
The days rise early in the summer, and the three of them all woke up before six o'clock the next day.
They packed up their things and started looking for their way home.
In fact, after waking up, the three of them were very happy, because as the day dawned, the houses in the distance became clearer.
They are now very sure that Fulin's house has not collapsed and their home is still there!
This makes them full of motivation even though they are still very tired.
Several people walked around the ruins for a long time but couldn't find a suitable way to pass through.
First of all, the collapsed houses were stacked one on top of the other and were too high!
It is simply impossible to get over it.
Furthermore, the strength of the walls of this old house cannot be compared with the high-rise buildings built later.
For example, Chen Cong and Gu Kai dared to walk through the passage formed by the high-rise rupture in the middle of the town, but they did not dare to walk among the wreckage of the buildings.
Because all the walls were shaken. Even those that seemed to still have support and had not collapsed for the time being, no one could guarantee that they would not suddenly collapse in the next moment.
It's better not to take such risks.
Fortunately, they were lucky in the end. After walking for more than an hour, they actually met a passerby.
After offering a pack of compressed biscuits as a reward, the man agreed to take them to Fulin via a newly opened path.
When Gu Jiashu heard his cousin's wife say that she would give that man a pack of compressed biscuits, his eyes and nose wrinkled with heartache.
But after following the man for a while, he had to admit that he had to give the biscuit!
Because that road is so damn hard to find!
Not only do you have to pass through several inexplicably extra corridors, but you also have to pass through several houses whose first floors were collapsed!
If you haven't lived in this yard for a long time, you will never find such a road!
After going around in circles like this, it was almost noon when the three of them finally arrived at the door of their home.
Although the surrounding environment was still severely damaged, the building where they lived had basically not changed in appearance.
Only the roof of the underground garage in front of the building collapsed, covering the garage so tightly that it almost disappeared.
Also, the glass door of the lobby on the first floor is completely gone, and the vending machines in the lobby are nowhere to be seen.
However, this is hundreds of times better than they expected!
The three of them took a short rest downstairs and then started climbing the stairs.
The nineteenth floor was a daunting goal, but compared to walking for a whole day, it was nothing to be afraid of.
Chen Cong was still carrying the big bag, but he quietly moved everything in the bag into the space.
While standing behind Gu Kai, she also moved the heavy things in his bag into his bag.
There is nothing we can do about Jiashu.
Fortunately, because of his leg injury, the backpack he was carrying was the lightest of the three, so going up the stairs should not be too difficult.
The three of them climbed up the stairs and actually met several neighbors who lived on the lower floors along the way.
They were scattered all over the place, but almost all of them were holding buckets or basins, and some were even holding those large mineral water buckets used for water dispensers.
"Are the water trucks delivering water now?" Chen Cong asked subconsciously.
"Yes, now most places in the city have to rely on water trucks to deliver water. The city's underground water pipes are basically unusable. Although there have been calls for emergency repairs, there has been no result after such a long time. We don't know when the tap water will be available again." Jiashu sighed.
In his previous life, the drought lasted for two full years, and Chen Cong had long been accustomed to the water supply from water trucks.
After listening to Jiashu's words, he just nodded, without much feeling.
Gu Kai was obviously shocked.
He looked up at the stairs and muttered quietly: "Fortunately I don't live here, otherwise fetching water every day would kill me!"
Jiashu just laughed out loud.
He couldn't help but tease, "Brother, don't be so ungrateful. So many people want to fetch water like this but don't have the chance! Please let me live here. I'm not afraid of being killed."
Chen Cong rolled his eyes at him: "Didn't we bring you here just to let you live here? Otherwise, why would we wait for you these few days?"
This one sentence shocked Jiashu so much that he stood there in a daze.
"Sister-in-law, this house...are you really going to let me live in it?" He couldn't help but ask again.
"What else?" Chen Cong asked back, "My house is empty, idle, and wasted, and then I let you sleep on the big bunk bed? You really don't regard me as your own sister-in-law!"
Gu Jiashu's face turned purple immediately after hearing this.
A few people were talking while climbing the stairs, and finally reached the top floor panting.
Knowing that he could live here, Jiashu looked even more excited than the couple. His legs no longer hurt and he walked with springs under his feet.
The first one ran out of the corridor.
But he stopped just after he got out of the corridor, and he braked so suddenly that Gu Kai, who was following closely behind him, almost hit him!
"What are you doing? Why are you so reckless?" Gu Kai pushed him angrily.
Jiashu said nothing, but just pointed forward.
The couple looked forward together and discovered that the corridor leading from the elevator to their home had been blocked on both sides by someone using broken furniture, rotten wood and stones.
There was a small passage in the middle that was big enough for one person to pass through, but at the moment it was blocked by a half-rotten iron door.
Chen Cong went forward and pushed, but it didn't move.
It seemed that there must be a heavy object behind the iron gate, which completely blocked their way home.
The author has something to say:
I tried hard today and wrote one more chapter. I hope I can still have the perseverance tomorrow.
I'll change the list and push the pre-collection. The next book will be "Reborn Back to the Day When the Natural Disaster Strikes". If you are interested, please collect it~
In addition, Yousu has quite a lot of completed works. Friends who are short of books can take a look at the column. What if you come across something that interests you?
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow~
